Hi,
Really need your help.
I had my Htc Desire(Optimus Portugal (unlocked by carrier code)) rooted Unrevoked, and then S-Off Precedure With Alpharev ...
And today i wanted to put the stock ROM, so i search here ...and i got the ...
"RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe" ... executed and at the end an error was shown ...
rebooted the phone, and till now nothing ...
when i press the power button it vibrates, and the screen doesn't show anything.
also tried to enter recover menu (volume down + power ) and nothing... and starting to freak out
any advises for this big problem ?
Update : I don't have access to hboot, nor i can see the triangle in the screen ( nothing on screen). When i press the power button, the computer detects the phone...
regards

Why on Earth you tried to put Eclair on it?!

either slcd brick or just wrong ruu.. first use the WWE RUU listed on my guide, if that doesn't work use the 2.3.3 RUU. Problem = solved.

[Q] what to do if your DZ doesn't detect zip's?

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to unroot my desire Z , but it wont detect my 1.34 PC10IMG.zip files anymore in the hboot... i even renamed them to PC10IMG, and still nothing , i've been trying allot of things for 2 days now. is my phone bricked or something , or is it because my phone became G2? since i accidently put a g2 rom before which i had to reroot to gain my MIUI rom back. my camera is broken so i need to unroot it for the warranty
Can someone help me ?
Extra information about my phone:
HTC DESIRE Z UNBRANDED
MIUI CUSTOM ROM
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.82.0000
MICROP-0425

When you go into HBoot, what option are you choosing?
You currently have your issue spread across 4 threads, asking various questions about the same issue. So its very hard to follow where you are at and how to help you. You really should have just started one thread, and stuck to it.

ah sorry for that i thought i would find my answer quicker, I will stick to this thread, the options i choose is , first of all i type in CMD adb reboot bootloader , then i get at Fastboot USB , then i use my power button, and then i get at HBOOT where it should load my zip file , like always. but which doesn't happen now...
Do you think my phone is still fix-able?

Cross posting will probably make your answer slower (in addition to being against forum rules, and just generally cluttering the forum). At least personally, I'm getting confused where you are at, and what steps you have done to get to this point, due to the information being scattered across several posts.
What happens when you try to access HBoot from the phone itself? By having power off, then holding volume down, and pressing power?
sorry for the cross posting,
I've did volume down and pressed power , and i came in bootloader
Can you go into recovery (from Hboot) and flash the ZIP from there?
do you mean : Recovery > install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > PC10IMG ? this is not possible if you mean that
because i get:
E:can't open \sdcard\PC10IMG.zip (bad) installation aborted
Yes, exactly.
is this a good sign? what should i exactly do next ?
You must have edited your post. When I responded "Yes. Exactly" I didn't see where you said the install failed.
No, thats not a good sign.
On the Hboot screen, does it say S-Off or S-on?
it says VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
oops double post i didn't notice we were on 2nd page
Weird, and you're still rooted?
Have you tried to download the ZIP again, just to make sure it wasn't corrupted on download?
yes i did , i redownloaded it , before i had accidently downloaded a G2 stock rom , because i was following a unrooting guide , but it wasn't a good one so i had G2 stock rom without root , then i just simply rerooted it and went back to my MIUI rom, and since that time i have problems :/ , i also had back-ups of the 1.34 sense system but when i recover them i just get stuck at the HTC splash screen , i really dont know what to do now
did the G2 rom ruin my phone or? is there any possibility to retreive stock rom
lol :/ i suppose i'm quite done now , if it doesn't detect the packages i'm far from home , and wont be able to recover anything
Sorry I can't help you more, I'm out of ideas. There are lots of people here with more knowledge than I. So hopefully they can help.
Well anyways thanks for your time , hopefully someday someone knows the answer

just to make sure, you're using your volume keys to scroll to the BOOTLOADER option, then pressing the power button, correct? sounds to me like you're saying that you're entering hboot in fastboot, then pressing power button immediately? this would still not land you in bootloader.
pc10img files won't be seen if you're in the fastboot menu. when you select bootloader, it should do a quick scan of the sdcard looking for files with certain names (including pc10img.zip)
sorry if it's been said elsewhere, I didn't see:
what version of CWM recovery are you using?
which PC10IMG are you attempting to flash?

Thanks for your respond,
The thing i exactly do is enter the bootloader then it would give me 4 options Bootloader , Reboot , Reboot Bootloader or Power Down.
Once i scroll to Bootloader which is not necessary since it already selects bootloader at the begining , then i press my power button , and then it should go to Hboot mode , once he enters that it takes 2 secs and he scans the SDCARD , but he will detect nothing. I've tried several PC10IMG.zip but somehow he wont find it, the one i'm using is the 1.34 PC10IMG.zip. i've tried a couple and redownloaded it , but it was no succes.
Btw i also got a recovery of 1.34 sense stock rom , the 1st day i rooted i made a backup of my stock rom , but it's not recover-able anymore , once i recover it by CWM , i get stuck at splash screen after installation first boot.
The CWM i'm using atm is the 3.0.2.4.
bump. any professionals who can help me?

HTC DESIRE unroot with RUU 2.3.3 failed

Hi guys.
I know there are several posts already opened about this, but I`ve tried all I read there and nothing worked.
I wanted to send my rooted Desire back for repairs(camera LED broken thanks to a Torch app), and wanted to unroot it before I do.
I`ve read on some posts that u can unroot the phone by running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU found on htcdev.com (the official RUU), so I downloaded the RUU, installed hTC Sync, installed the Desire`s USB drivers(the same one`s that are required when rooting with Revolutionary).
The RUU started installing, the phone rebooted into the HTC splash screen and the "update" of the RUU started going, both PC and phone showed the cursor of the installing process, and at about 90% the PC gave me an error (update error).
I`ve tried again and again to run the RUU but everytime, it failed. And now, my Desire just won`t boot. I`ve taken the battery out, put it back, turned it on, and the only thing that appers on the screen is the white HTC logo on a black background, with 4 icons in each corner of the screen(looks just like the icon that appears when u plug in the usb cable with USB debugging mode ON).
Volume-down+Power and BACK+Power don`t work anymore, even though I press them, the phone just simply ignores the keys and takes me back to the before mentioned hTC splash screen.
I know this is probably something I did wrong, but if there`s any one kind enough to help me out with this, I`d deeply appreciate it.
Thank you!

It doesn`t say anything.
This is what I do:
1. Take the battery out.
2. Put the battery back in place
3. Try turning phone on using: Volume-down+Power -> the phone doesn`t show anything, it simply takes me to the HTC logo(white HTC logo on black background. It does the same thing if I turn it on using BACK+Power)
If I try running the RUU again, the installer gives me the next message: Error[152]: image update error.
From what I`ve read, this is a radio error which can only be fixed by hTC. Could that be true?
Also, after the RUU gives me the above error, if I unplug the USB cable, the phone shows following:
*************
RUU
Radio_V2 - OK
Splash1 - OK
Recovery - OK
Splash2 - OK
Radio_cust - OK
Bootloader - Bypassed
Userdata - OK
System - Fail-PU
Boot - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
*************
I have the Alpharev CM7 r2 bootloader.
even if it is its covered by htc warranty so don't worry about it
I don`t think it coveres it, as the Alpharev CM7 R2 bootloader still shows.

oh you're still S-OFF?
You're automatically in fastboot when you turn on since your phone is like that so just turn it on, plug it in first flash this and then flash this, Then run the RUU again.
Yes, I`m still S-OFF.
How do I flash them if I can`t access recovery using Volume-down+Power or BACK+Power?
I`ve downloaded the first one, renamed it into PB99IMG.zip, put it on root of SD CARD, turned phone ON and it takes me to the same htc logo screen as before.

Tried with Android Flasher, but it gets stuck when trying to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img that u`ve given me.
So basically, I can`t enter Clockworkmod, I can`t enter the bootloader menu by turning on phone usine Volume-down+Power / Back+Power, and the phone is stuck in the HTC logo, while still S-OFF-ed, also the 2.3.3 official RUU gives me the error at the end of the installing process.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do?
Bortak, one million thanks for the help, patience and the time you`ve wasted.
I managed to pull it off in the end.
My desire lives again
And hey, if ever in Romania, let met know, got a couple of beer cases with your name on them
Thanks again, dude!
Peace.

I have the exact same problem as i_cs_u.
I tried to use an RUU to install 2.3, I have alpharev cm7r2 installed and I get stack on the same step as i_cs_u. I successfully flashed bravo_alphaspl.img with "fastboot boot bravo_alphaspl.img", but which partition do I flash bravo_downgrade.img to?
Flash bravo_downgrade.img and then the RUU.

He probably figured out that he has to use the fastboot flash boot *name of img* command or Android Flasher on that screen with the 4 ! At the corner instead of renaming to PB99IMG and attempting to flash it on the phone.

Bricked Wildfire S

Hey Guys
Yesterday I wanted to upgrade my wildfire S
it had an Arabic Rom from HTC with Android 2.3.3
so i tried to flash the European Rom (RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed.exe)
everything went OK then i noticed there is a newer version (RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe)

same here
Hiya Fantastic7,
The same happened to me exactly! I got the ROM from the web (the filename was OK, but the content wasn't.) I went ahead with the flash, now I have a Wildfire S which upon power on produces the following symptoms:
a.) flashes the red LED and a white line at the bottom of the screen blinks, then turnes the screen off, and starts the process in a cycle until the battery is removed
b.) does NOT vibrate or allows me to enter the HBOOT menu (POWER and VOL Down button).
The phone is S-ON (I checked it in the HBOOT before updating the RUU Rom on the phone) but SIM free.
So far the solution I found is to send it off and it'll be taken apart and RE-ROMmed. (Search for fonefunshop - bloody forum doesn't allow me to insert link)
There's a video of the procedure (with a HTC Desire) here: youtu.be /-awHNhxG480
Keep me posted if you find anyhting else helpful.
Why don't you claim your warranty?

yeah..... well mine is back on s-on and when i boot it does a boot loop ( htc logo then turns off then htc logo again)
can some one tell me how to turn on usb debugging mode using pc....:crying:
What happens if you plug the USB into the PC and then quickly boot to hboot?
Also, since you have access to the Bootloader you should download a good copy of the rom. Remove the rom.zip from the ruu and then rename it to pg76img.zip and put it on your sdcard. Reboot to BootLoader and let it run the update.

Bricked HTC Desire

Hi guys,
My bro has been flashing roms quite oftenly, I dont know how he does it. I dont use a HTC Desire.
Today he came to me and told me to help him fix up because he couldnt boot to anything.
The phone stay on the White HTC Screen only.
After reading up XDA, I booted into fastboot (Back Button + Power) and tried to Flash HTC Bravo RUU for WEE_Asia.
I used to flash WinMo devices so I thought it should be any problem.
When flashing, everything was fine until towards the end an error saying the package is lost or incomplete. and the RUU updater just leaves me without any choice to revert or what. I didnt not get a screenshot as well.
Now the device is bricked. Power button, anything doesnt work at all, blank screen. yeah..
So any suggestions or tricks to unbrick it?
ADD: Is it this first case of a REAL BRICK HTC Desire? (because I see alot people posting about 'brick' devices but its just merely some software problem)
because as far as I know its quite impossible to brick a device, well and error during RUU update can brick the device, but the error appears in the end of the RUU so Im still kinda unsure what problem is it.
pull the battery out for a min then put back in and hold volume down + power. what happens? does it vibrate or anything?
Sent from my HTC Desire
nope. no vibration at all.
Could it be a battery problem?
because I always see him charging daily and his battery always goes down till 40% or so even in airplane mode!
would it have been the battery problem that caused the RUU error?

doubt it if it only happened after trying ruu. if u were s-off then u cant just run a ruu anyway. this is prob what caused it. do u have a warranty?
Sent from my HTC Desire
Yes the device was S-off when I ran RUU.
Unfortunately, warranty was over last month..
So is this the case of broken bootloader?

I saw some relevant questions in this thread and decided this is the right place for my question. Here are the symptoms of what looks like my bricked HTC Desire It happened to me after I ran (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783) RUU on my S-OFF phone:
- Take the battery in/out, press power button, just a quick vibrate and nothing happens
- Tried to boot in fastbood (Power button + Volume -) nothing happens
- Plug in the charger - LED is ON (orange)
- The msg on the PC app for RUU was that there was an err during the "upgrade", which was a downgrade attempt, caused by the fact that my phone software was not the right one for that RRU.. or smth like that. Suggesting I go and download the right version.
My question is... is my HTC Desire officially bricked or are we talking about some of those "soft bricks" you guys are referring to with hope for a restore.
Thx outfront, guys.

Thx for the reply! Doesn't budge.
I kept the battery out for a few mins and held down the buttons for a while as well. Screen doesn't turn on. I'm guessing the vibration and LED are good signs?
I've been at it for a while. As far as I got looking for answers throughout the forum... I used ADB app on windows to run command "adb devices" and got a
HT-some-code/serial....................recovery.
So I'm guessing the phone is stuck in recovery. Wonder if I can turn S-ON and try to re-run RUU from this adb thingy.
Ok, I unbricked it For all people that will land here, my (USB) brick occured after running the wrong RUU on a S-OFF Desire.
I started down the list of HTC Desire shipped RUUs from the list of shipped RUU (can't post link) and the phone got back to its out-of-the box state after I hit the right one. Worked for me.

I tried running the command "adb devices" when my bricked Desire is connected on my PC (pressed down the two buttons as well before connecting it) but it says "List of devices attached" without any serial you said that there was.
I don't know how does the "recovery" on bricked phone works. I did my test: remove and reinsert battery and connect phone. LED comes out. (means it isn't permanently bricked) press down "volume down" and "power" buttons and LED switched off. Tells me that recovery must have been booted.
Any suggestions? :crying:

Okay I followed the RUU method (post just above this). I remembered which RUU I am supposed to install (technically RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_TR_1.30.184.3_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_139001_signed.exe). Unfortunately I received the ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR, which is sad. hurr
Before this bricking incident happened, I did an update to get android v. 2.3.4. Then I want to revert back its hboot from 1.02 to 0.9x using this method. Somehow, after the third step I still have S-OFF, HBOOT 6.93.1002, which is frustrating. That's where I went to alpharev and tried my luck. Nothing gets the advantage. I found another topic which then I found this rooting topic. That's where I began dumb and installing the RUU I want to install (which is the asia version, since my phone's RUU should be from Asia).
And that's how I got my phone bricked.
ugh

I tried running the command "adb devices" when my bricked Desire is connected on my PC (pressed down the two buttons as well before connecting it) but it says "List of devices attached" without any serial you said that there was.
I don't know how does the "recovery" on bricked phone works. I did my test: remove and reinsert battery and connect phone. LED comes out. (means it isn't permanently bricked) press down "volume down" and "power" buttons and LED switched off. Tells me that recovery must have been booted.
Any suggestions? :crying:

Try asking in the Desire HD section. This is the HTC Desire (Bravo) section.
DUDE IT SAYS WRONG IMAGE

[Q] HTC Desire RUU Help!!

I all, my friend recently gave me an HTC Desire, which fails to boot at the HTC logo on a white background. I thought it would be a case of simply reflashing the firmware but I can't get any of them to work what-so-ever, here are the details of my attempts so far-
RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed - Fails at 140 Error
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed - Fails at 170 Error
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed - Fails at 170 Error
i'm not sure what I am doing wrong - here are the phone details--
Vodafone UK Branded - Sim Lock
Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MIRCOP-051D
TOUCH PANEL- SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
AUG 10 2010, 17:52:18
CURRENT IMAGE 2.33.161.6
Any help would be great, I have no idea of what other RUU I could use.
**Update**, I have also tried copying the rom.zip from each RUU and renaming the file to PB99IMG.zip and then copying it to the SD Card, booting into recovery and selecting BOOTLOADER / FASTBOOT, which then changes to FASTBOOT / HBOOT which then says it the wrong image!!
try 2.3 gb upgrade in my sig (PB99IMG)

Thanks, downloading now, what is the best way to install this and can it be downgraded?
install it the same way u did the others, put on sdcard then with phone off hold vol down + power.
why would u want to downgrade it?

I read online that the GB version wasn't very good and its best to stay with Froyo unless that statement is wrong
**update**
I managed to get this RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed.exe onto the phone, I had tried this already until I started repeatedly pressing the power key in the recovery menu and it started to install and was successful. its just rebooted but is it normal for it to stay on the white HTC screen for a while, it's been a few mins so far.
**update 2** I reflashed it and it now says Radio_V2 Failed-PU, not sure what this means
**update 3** the phone rebooted after the failed update and it now appears to have diesda death, not sure what has happened or how to fix it. it won't switch on, responed when connected to a computer, nor can i get it into recovery, any idea's on a fix?
radio fail is the worste fail u could get. the only way iv seen it being fixed is running the 2.3 gb upgrade from HTCDev over and over again till it works (if it works) good luck

How do you install it, it's a .tar.gz file and how do you install it onto a phone that won't boot up, gonna need help with this one if.
u flash it from bootloader. phone off then hold volume down + power. then plug it into ur computer and run the file.
if u want, check my sig, the PB99IMG of it is there, just put it on ur sdcard then vol down + power then bootloader will find it and ask to update, volume up for yes. make sure uv plenty power on ur battery. all u can do is keep trying, hopefully it will work.

As I have said it's not coming on even when I do the volume down + power, I left it connected to it's charger last night but i'm not sure it even did that as there was no led indication it was charging,
also each other time I put the file named PB99IMG it never asked to update it only ever said there was a file missing, that's when I came across the little trick of repeatedly pressing the power button while in the bootloader which seemed to force it as there was an status indicator in the top right corner which filled up, then it asked to update, the first flash went ok, but it hanged on the white HTC boot screen and did nothing for 20 mins so I started again and that's when I got a failure.
Any help would be good

Does the phone boot anymore? No led flash, anything? You may have bricked your phone for good. Try following bortak's giude, or ask there about your problem.

absolutely nothing what-so-ever, it has become a paperweight for now, because its out of warranty HTC are wanting £100 to fix it, but a local repair shop it wanting £40 to look at it but they might not be able to fix the issue
