[Q] i cant install any rom - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone
recently i cant install any rom with clockworkmod recovery.
i need help
please help me

Please give us more details. What exactly do you do when install a new rom? Do you get any errors. Furthermore, please post information from your hboot (start phone with pressed back and power button).

at first i wipe my phone, then when i choose the rom and confirm it to install, it just go to the first page of clockworkmod recovery.

Missing hboot information! Do you get any messages from recovery?

hboot 0.93, i tried many roms but all roms are same, i dont get any massage from recovery

The whole information in the topleft corner please.

bravo pv1 ship s-on
hboot-0.93.0001
microp-031d
touch panel-synw0101
radio-5.14.05.17

Please write down exactly EVERY STEP you do when you want to flash ROM.

i go to recovery, i backup , then i full wipe, then i go and install rom, i installed many roms like this but recently it's not working!!

rename the rom to "update.zip", put it in the root of your sdcard, and then select apply update.zip from recovery.

it didn't work , but tnx

Go S-OFF with AlphaRev and flash different recovery via fastboot:
http://alpharev.nl
I would recommend to use Revolutionary, but I am not sure if this works if one is already rooted (could not find anything in documentary page). So either you wait until one answers to this or you use AlphaRev.

U can't because ur not s-off ur s-on do a root with unrevoked then ur thing should be
Ship s-off
HBOOT 0.98.0000
And so on

i used this way for 1 year but i dont know why its not working now, i already root my phone and i tried but the unrevoked just showed *waiting for the device* and i did the right things. Do you know a easy way to S-off ?
tnx for your help

Absolute nonsense!!!!!!!!! You never get S-OFF with unrevoked. Only AlphaRev, AlphaRevX or Revolutionary will set your phone S-OFF.

Downgrade Hboot 6.93.0002 to 0.93.0001?

I had 2.3.3 oficial update. I used revolutionary to s-off (with the oficial update i had 1.02.0001 hboot and after s-off i had 6.93.0002 hboot). After s-off i ran the shipped RUU and i am still s-off and 6.93.0002 hboot.
Is there a way to get back to 0.93.0001?

But how do I flash the downgrader??. If I double click on the downgrader it asks me what I want to use to burn the file?.
I am trying to get my wifes desire to have a custom rom as it keeps saying she is low on memory. I have used revolutionary to change from hboot 1.02 to 6.93 with s off but now do not have a clue what to do. I have been trying to read up on what to do all day but everything speaks as though I should know exactly what to do from the off!.
Give me my HD2 any day!!! lol
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Scotty.

Download the img, rename it to PB99IMG.img and place it on the root of your sdcard. Then boot into hboot (while the phone is off, press volume down + power button), click vol up button to apply update and again to reboot. Now its flashed. Then you can continue with the RUU.

Why do you want to do that?
There is a downgrader.img on the alpharev website which if you fastboot flash it to replace the existing hboot, will then allow you to use a RUU. Choose a RUU that has the hboot you want and run it. Of course this will unroot your phone. What is your actual aim here?
Downgrade from HBOOT 6.93.0002 to 0.93.0001
Guys, if you ORIGINALLY had 0.93.00001 and ran the Revolutionary S-OFF program, it WILL update your HBOOT to 6.93.0002. This is a GOOD thing, you'll still be S-OFF'd but you'll be running the Gingerbread HBOOT version. It's always better to have the newer version of the HBOOT than the older version. As long as you're S-OFF'd, it really doesn't matter which HBOOT version you have, I just recommend the newer version. Thanks!

For your information, GB Hboot is 1.02.0001 not 6.93.0002. 6.93.0002 is revolutionary hboot and if htc sees that highly likely they will not place it under warranty.

Hi everyone I needed to dowgrade because I wanted to use Alex-V's new 1.7.5 HD rom wich requires custom hboot but apparently the revolutionary one is newer hence the need of dowgrade but it was all a bit confusing for me aswell (no ofence and big thanks to all of you that are trying very hard to make it as simple as possible for us) so at the end just before I give up I put the downgrade img from AlphaRev's site in android flasher and it was all done in 1.6sec
I hope that helps

I rooted my phone some time ago but had no S-OFF. I had HBOOT 0.80.000. I could use some roms but not all so i asked for help. Thanks to some/lots help from benco286 i'm now rooted with S-OFF
At last. I flashed RUU_Bravo_Froyo_vodafone_uk_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed.exe
Until it said upgrade from 2.2.... to 2.3....then clicked cancel
It gave me HBOOT 0.93.00
I then used Revolutionary
I now have hboot 6.93.1002 with s-off

Flashing HBOOT through recovery when you're S-OFF? Are you on drugs?!
For the record there is a way to flash hboot tables via recovery but its the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Anyone who did it would definitely need to talk to frank

but from the thread of rmd 1.0.3.4 that said it can directly flash xxx.cm7.img hboot table from recovery .Am I wrong?
Even if you could flash it in recovery I strongly recommend using fastboot as it is alot safer
No you are not wrong. But I am also of the opinion that fastboot is much safer.

Volume rocker doesn't work, any way to install a custom ROM?

Hi, I recently (yesterday) bought an HTC Desire. My last phone was stolen, so I needed a nice android phone ASAP. The phone I bought was used, and it was dirt cheap, however, as advertised, the volume rocker doesn't work at all, but it does feel well placed, and the part itself (the exterior) isn't broken, and clicks nicely. I was wondering either:
1) Is this an easy replacement?. I can open the phone and do the fix, but if it's not too obvious, I can't tell which part of the electronic board needs to be changed.
2) Is there any way to flash a custom rom without having to boot into recovery (vol-down+power).
And as of a last option, I guess I could flash the 2.3 RUU from HTC. but I've read there are several drawbacks (SMS mainly. All the bloatware not included I think it's a benefit, not a harm). would anyone recommend me upgrading to that one?
Bonus: If I do flash the 2.3 from HTC, I read it has a modified version of Sense 1.0. But, does anyone know if it comes with the 2.1 sense notification bar?. (the one with quick settings, which is a feature I can't spend a day without using).
Thanks in advance.
-Jesús.

Right! You have got bootloader 0.93.
1. This is revolutionary friendly. Go to revolutionary.io and follow the steps to achieve SOFF.
2. Get a touch friendly recovery. Go to 4ext.net and flash the recovery.img from fastboot.
Also flash the root package to get root.
After that you are all set to flash roms.

I went with unrevoked3 a half an hour before, It still has S-ON (not sure why), so i'll try with revolutionary, but it did get rooted.
I already flashed a recovery, not touch though, I think it responds to trackball. I'll flash a touch recovery just to be safe.
Thanks a lot!.
Also. As I'm new to the desire. Can you recommend me a ROM?. preferably with sense.
I'm also doing some research in the dev section .
The problem with non touch recovery is that you have to use volume buttons

BTW unrevoked will not give soff. Only root. Earlier days unrevoked for root followed by alpharev for soff. Now its simpler just revolutionary.

I have a dumb question, I'm about to flash a ROM, and I'm thinking about the possible bootloop. Is there any way to access recovery through ADB while the phone is in a bootloop and I can't bypass that because of the physical keys?.
That's quiet a good question actually.
- boot into fastboot back+power
- fastboot boot recoveryimageonyourharddisk.img
- once in recovery reboot recovery
Hope this works

Thanks for the help!, I'm already running a custom ROM . I did get a bootloop trying, and I was almost crying on the inside, haha, I could adb a command just between a boot and the other.. and got around it. But I didn't know about the back+power for fastboot, and I even searched for that particular thing. Good to know!.
thanks!
How?
I had that issue some time ago as well.
Sadly, it did not work for me to get out of the bootloop with adb commands, so I would be interested in how exactly you did it.
I had to send my phone back on warranty (now I do not have any anymore^^)
so in case i experience that problem again, it would be helpful for me to know

You might want to dig through this thread as you're in a similar situation.
As the htcdev unlock method doesn't give you s-off ("security off") you probably want to ask the thread starter how he managed to get s-off after using the htcdev method. You'll also get some useful background information about rooting etc in general.
just for extra info, you do not need to be s-off though to root and flash custom roms. i was s-on for a few months at 1st too but my method of unlock was with revolutionary not htcdev. you will need to install a custom recovery and then if you want a quick root i believe that just flashing cm7 gives you this!! otherwise you need to install the superuser and binaries?? please dont quote me on this and DO please research as its been a long time and different method etc since i performed unlock and root access. regards slym.
p.s welcome aboard
R.V.3
Slymobi, You are right, if you have s-off and a custom recovery you can just flash cm7 and you will have root access. No need to flash superuser or binaries as these are included in the Rom.
Revolutionary is the best way of getting s-off and flashing a custom recovery but I don't think your version of hboot is supported so you will have to downgrade first.

Oh, he isn't s-off but yes, he could flash a custom ROM. However he might run into troubles (i.e. the radio if he gets problems with wifi, gps or bt - he wouldn't be able to flash a different radio without s-off)

Exactly, s-off is the way to go imo. My first custom rom on wildfire was cm7 and that needed a radio reflash to get GPS working.
or....... you can always just flash a sense rom,initiate gps then restore backup!! no radio flash/s-off needed

I know I think the htcdev method should be avoided where possible for that reason. S-off is better for so many reasons not least if something goes horribly wrong when flashing you have more options to unbrick your phone.

You can only temp root I believe
Have a look at bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to top of Q&A, step [11]
It might work, never tried it. You won't have full unlcocked bootloader (S-OFF) though, which is much more useful overall.
Best to get you USB port fixed.
I tried soldering a New micro USB which failed so you can instead buy the main board which has the micro USB with it, but if ur not into fixing it yourself just give to a phone shop.

Best to get you USB port fixed.

Thank you.
I see "step [11]", so I tried it.
After TEMPROOT NOW, I download superuser. But... Binary update is failed.
In addition, I Download ROM Manger, and select "flash recovery". then installed. But... When I reboot into recovery mode, no flashing Clockwork recovery. Unchanged from HTC Recovery...
I think it's s-on...
What's the problem? I want to hear your ideas.
* Sorry;; It isn't solve -> It hadn't solve.

Maybe it is possible to flash your phone by making a goldcard and by flashing a recovery using a PB99IMG.zip from your bootloader.You could also upgrade your firmware with this way.
But I have a question.How do you charge that phone?!!Do you have some external Charging Dock Cradle?

U dont need s-off for recovery PB99IMG but yes u need unlocked bootloader for it. If u were to flash lets say radio.img PB99IMG method then u do need s-off.

I use the phone charger. I charge the battery by plugging the charger directly.. and I have an extra battery.
So.... You say that you can root using the golden card?

It is possible you be able to flash a custom recovery using a goldcard (I am not sure about that).But as the jmcclue says you probably have to be at least htc_dev unlocked to be able to flash a PB99IMG.zip from your bootloader.
With a goldcard you would be able to flash something without signature verification even with S-ON.You could also downgrade if you would like too.
If you can't find anything an idea is if you could S-OFF your phone.Then you could flash anything.You could temproot and you try an S-OFF way (with gfree for example).You may have to use a custom kernel to be able to use it (I am not sure about that).But as I can see you have a froyo firmware.So may gfree works for you even without custom kernel.

I found something that may be really helpful for you.
Check this out (go to "ROOT WITHOUT USB CONNECTION")
I don't know if it can flash a recovery when you are S-ON.(If you achieve this you should be able only to flash a recovery and after that to root your device with a flashable zip.It will not S-OFF your device)
You can also check this guide out how to S-OFF without adb:
[GUIDE] Permanent Root with Visionary/gfree (No ADB Required)
** If you want to flash an ENG (engineering) bootloader you can download one from here.Do not use the hboot-eng.img or hboot-eng.img you can find inside those tools.Those tools has eng hboots for Desire Z **
Thank you.

thank you. Once, i already tried "ROOT without USB connection". but.. I failed. because... I think it is due to S-ON.(Now S-ON state.)
But... I'll try the second method. Thanks for the tip.
--add--
Oh.. It is a way for the G2 and Desire Z.
Umm.. So what should I do in order to fit the Desire(Bravo)?
Hboot-emg.img and Hboot-emg-z.img found in the zip file.(I think the hboot file for G2 and Desire Z.)
So... you mean to replace it with Bravo HBOOT Desire?(ex. bravo_alphaspl.img(Bravo stock),...atc.)
I do not know what to do;;

I don't really suggest you to use flash_hboot or flash_hboot_z scripts because I am not sure what is the hboot partition for HTC desire (bravo).Those scripts are using mmcblk0p18 partition to install the eng hboot by using dd command.(Anyway it is not necessary to install an eng hboot.)
The only thing you need after the S-OFF procedure (with gfree) is to flash a PB99IMG.zip with a custom recovery from your bootloader in order you be able to flash a Superuser or SuperSU zip to root your Rom.
Also you shouldn't even try to install the Hboot-eng.img or Hboot-eng_z.img you will find inside this zip becauce they are definitly for desire z.
If you want to install an eng hboot for bravo you could download one (from alpharev for example) and until you have succeeded S-OFF with the above procedure you can flash it by using a PB99IMG.zip from your bootloader.(You can see the process in alpharev's website.)
If you like to use an eng hboot I think bravo_alphaspl.img (Bravo stock) would be a nice choice. But in my opinion I would prefer the (Bravo N1Table) because you will have more cache memory and a bigger data partition. If you use a lite Rom it should work nice.
Well.;;

When u s off u can flash a recovery using the PB99IMG.ZIP method so then you will have a recovery to flash supersu which makes your phone rooted and then u need a custom rom.
