[Q] No Recovery, Stuck at HTC Bootscreen - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's the problem. I have a hardware problem, so i wanted to unroot the device and send it to the service with warranty. I downgraded to 1.32 WWE RUU. i unrooted the device and also S-ON. then i tried OTA update. it updated and booted normally. then two more updates, last one being 2.50, and it couldn't boot after that. i'm stuck at the white htc bootscreen. no "quietly brilliant", just a white HTC screen.
i tried factory reset, no luck. then i tried to go to recovery mode, and there is a red triangle with an exlamation mark in it. i can't access recovery mode. i can't seem to have usb access to the sd card. i don't have a usb adapter to use. what can i do to get it to boot?

Got the Same Problem, but got there in a different way....
Had to root a friends DHD and got f'ed up... I used the Ace Hack Kit and there was an error during the procedure, someone pulled the USB Connection when i was out of the room cause he needed the USB-Cable -.-
When i Boot the Phone its gets stuck on the white HTC-Bootscreen. If I Hold vol. down and Power before im getting into Bootloader, from there I can get into Android-Recovery (NO, not CWM!!!).
First HBOOT was at 2.50 after (half of the procedure) its on 0.85.
Any chance to get the Phone back to life?
cheers

Guys try the last section in this guide. Just make sure you download your appropriate ruu for your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396253

Thx for the Hint, but not working for me......
Tried RUU Vodafone UK 1.32.03 and 1.32.06, and RUU WWE 3.12 but non if it worked. Getting an Error which says, that the Utility wasnt able to complete the operation. (Error 131: User-ID Error)
Strange: RUU says i've got 1.32.06 installed but HBOOT says its 0.85.
Any other possible solution?

AiAS61: you're phone is stock now (but bricked, ok). You have what you wanted.
Bring back to HTC, explain the OTA story and ask them to repare.
z0mg.jer1Cho: sorry, no idea.
nb: in fact I have an idea.
Wait for AiAS61 to give his feedback, if it works (and if your DHD is under warranty) then do the same. It seems that you erased everything, wecan't see now that you had rooted your phone.

Okay, I think I've figured out whats the problem....
I need to get a Goldcard, cause this DHD was branded by Vodafone GER. So I need to make a Goldcard with mmc2, than i can put a PD98IMG.zip on it or RUU flash via Bootloader in Fastbootmode.
Think Error 131: User ID Error refers to the fact, that the RUU has no permisson the write!
I will find some with an DHD and than i will read out the mmc2 Rev CID from my SD-Card with his Phone, make a goldcard and flash stock RUU. Hope this will work

@truc007 thanks for tryin to help

I've got the same problem over here... Had ARHD 6.3.1 and kalaga theme on my device, but as you know, the kalaga theme is not compatible with 6.3.1... I tried to flash LeeDroid ROM, but before that, I use Ace hack kit (cause i couldn't install LeeDroid for I had 4Ext...) In the middle of the proccess... BAMM!!! Bootscreen on htc and nothing more... I don't know waht to do now, i'm frying my brains here looking for a solution, thinking on waht can I do but nothing works...

Ok guys, I'm having an idea. When I get to recovery mode, after it displays the red triangle, i try to apply boot from SDCard, and I get an error saying that there is no file or directory update.zip
I thougt that If I change the name of the Zip file to update.zip maybe it could work... Let us pray and see what happend!!!

Okay, something changed... now it says:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
This signature verification had never showed up, so, renaming the file did really something. I'm gonna have a look in the forum about signature verification and then be back here soon to say something new!

First of all, do you have root? I'm assuming so. Your post is sort of unclear. Second, rename the ROM to PD98IMG

[Q] USB Bricked DI. Believe the cause is the misc partition. Help?

Hey all, I'm having a big issue with my Droid incredible. I've been trying to root it, ended up SERIOUSLY messing everything up [had problems rooting with unrevoked at first, CID error] then i temp rooted it and tried to install clockwork, which is where i think i usb bricked it. Which none of that matters, because this is my current problem.
If the phone is charging, it boots up and runs fine. It cant see any SD card or internal memory however. The second you unplug it, it reboots and gets stuck in a boot loop, never going past the HTC bootscreen.
Im aware that i should try and reflash the misc.img file? According to some of the desire forums. However when you plug it into the PC, it shows that usb device has malfunctioned, and adb cant see my DI. So i cant do much there. My phone's NOT rooted either.
Any help with this guys? I'd much appreciate it.
Richard
What does the output from this say?
Code:
"cat /dev/mtd/mtd0"
You try wiping it?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Chevelle, I don't know how you want me to do that. I'm not rooted, so I dont have terminal emulator, and the USB doesnt work so I cant use ADB....
And yes, I've wiped it at least 10 times now, I've used a RUU to go back down to 2.1 [which corrupted my screen drivers, smh], then ruu back up to 2.2, with no change whatsoever. Im pretty sure that the misc partition does not reinstall with ruu's, if I've read correctly. So I don't have USB connection, I dont have root, and so my options are limited it seems. In my mind I'd have to flash something from hboot, considering thats the only thing that runs correctly anymore, that would reinstall misc. And also when hboot is up, my computer sees android bootloader. So its not hardware, I guarantee that much.
Okay guys, so its safe to say that im going to HAVE to somehow flash a mtd0.img file onto my incredible to get it back working, correct? Now I just need help with this, how to go about it without root and without adb, through hboot. Any suggestions? My CID is VZW__001 if that makes a difference.
Update: Found out how to use flashboot, i did fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 , and my SD card AND internal storage is working again!! =D
USB connectivity is still a No-go. Is there a way to flash an image to a particular partition through fastboot? If ya'll could give any help, it would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you.
You sound like all the people who have had the 5/3 vibrate black screen. USB stops working, adb driver wont show up, phone boots fine with USB connected. Somehow you got the phone somewhat working again which would confirm that its an issue with root/recovery. Except for your USB not working. This I thought was a hardware issue which caused the rest of the issues but I have no clue. I wonder if the root has anything to do with the USB chip on the phone.

Can i downgrade rom 2.3.4 to 2.2 Using the RUU.exe, when in fastboot?
No, it tells me "problem with the bootloader", and if i unplug the phone
it remains on the hboot saying "MAIN VERSION IS OLDER"
so i was wondering if i could rewrite the androi-info.txt from the PB31IMG.zip
in the Sdcard it could help me flashing again 2.2 (Froyo), but no it says abut the signature, and what if we copy the signature of the "PB31IMG.zip" and apply it to another file it could flash back to 2.2?

how did you install gingerbread? if it was OTA then do a factory reset. should rebuild the system. you WILL lose everything but it should get you in working order.
Will that bring me back to 2.2?
im gonna try .. thk anyways
i have same problem! but when i connect my inc to pc it works only like a charger!
i phone can't use internal memory! i can see files on phone only with file manager. and in recovery when i mount USB it's doesn't work. pc have htc sync driver
can you help me? where i can find the mtd0.img? and can it help me?
inc wont recognize usb connections at the computer
well i think it can help you, but I'm not really sure about what's going on with your Inc, but if you flash the “mtd0.Img" it will restore your USB connection
first at all, are you rooted?
if you do, just flash mtd0.img
if not, witch android version are you running?
i can give you some better instructions if you post your email address

3- flashed “su.zip" (Super User)
my phone got super user access back again, yeah!!!

[Q] Boot loop can't get into recovery mode [Fixed]

Hi
I'm an idiot, and this is what I've done.
Used AAHK successfully.
Backed up my stock ROM.
Flashed new ROM (Revolution HD, latest version)
All ok up to this point. Aware that I need to update my radio, I accidentally re run AAHK (the full thing, menu 1)
AAHK, gets stuck after radio downgrade.
When I power on the phone, it vibrates once and I get the HTC Logo - it gets stuck at this point.
I can get into the boot menu (Power+Vol down) If I select recovery, the phone reboots and shows a red exclamation mark.
I hope this can be resolved. Help please.
Thanks
Alright. Plug your phone into your computer, leaving the phone on. Check the adb by running adb devices in the terminal. If you still see the device Serial #, re run the hack kit.
But
What you MIGHT need to do is pull out the battery, and put it back in. HOLD down volume and TAP the power button. This should get you to bootloader. Once there, plug in your USB to the computer and go to "Fastboot USB". After that, download the ATT RUU, and run that. This will return you to stock, and then re run the hack kit.
^ This might be the long way out but it WILL recover your phone.
EDIT: You're on the Desire HD, my bad. Download your stock RUU and run that, not the ATT RUU. My bad, I'm in the United States on ATT
Hi
Thanks for the reply. I tried the command line, but couldn't get the Serial #
I did wonder about ATT, thanks for the edit. I'm a bit nervous about which stock to choose.
I was previously on an Orange UK Gingerbread firmware. Can I just choose a vanilla Gingerbread RUU. Does it matter which version?
Thanks
Which Orange ROM was shipped with your phone? If you can't get the serial number you're going to have to download the RUU and Reinstall. And then re-root the phone.
It doesn't matter which RUU you run, so long as its the official Carrier version.
Hopefully this helps!
---------- Post added at 03:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 AM ----------
Follow this link, and about halfway down is the Orange shipped ROM:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
Thanks for the reply.
I found that page before I saw your post. That Orange package looked like Froyo version? and I was worried about doing GB to Froyo downgrade (memory maps etc) Maybe the RUU doesn't care about that?
So I chose a GB RUU that looked suitable, this one:
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_199042_signed.exe
It's very simple, just click click click and my phone is back
So thanks again
Just flash recovery again.
Then from recovery flash a ROM.
ADB can't work in bootloader but fastboot yes.
Your problem is easy to solve, do not worry.
You're not an idiot... this is called 'learning'
Edit: too late. Next time you will know how to do:
The first white backgrounded menu is the bootloader
The one after is Recovery (black background with orange or blue text).
Fastboot works in bootloader, ADB in recovery.

Htc desire z stuck - please help

hi, my desire z crashed during a upgrade 2 days ago and not its stuck on the htc green logo page. I've read a little and i can get to the S-On page and get to the boot loader etc (factory restore does nothing).
Am i right thinking if i get the UK rom i can place it on the sd card, and then turn the phone back on by holding down Volume Down and Power until the bootloader screen comes up. It should then automatically find the rom file and ask you if i want to update the phone, select yes and wait for it to finish updating and Click reboot??
Please any help would be appreciated as I'm lost without my mob

My DZ was running stock rom, not rooted and one day it just stopped working! My data somehow became really sluggish and I had to reboot, but it wouldn't go past the Vodafone splash screen afterwards, had to do battery pull. After that it will only boot to the white screen with just HTC on it, without the Quietly Brilliant. Tried to factory reset but nothing works.
Since it was still under warranty, I can't be bothered and sent it back for repairs. Guess what, they can't fix it, probably dead eMMC chip or mobo from what I read from this & other forums.

[Q] Done something stupid ....

Well, gone and done it now, and reading all the other "I've been stupid" threads deosn't sem to work ..
I'm very new to this rooting/rom setup, but things were going so well... I Rooted, and was trying various ROM's to see which one I liked best .. done about 10 and thought I had it all sussed ....
A couple wouldn't work but I just restored to the nandroid backup and tried a different one ... now .. at don't know how/when but the nandriod backup simply dissapeared at some point. Not to worry thought I ... I'll restore the RUU, get it back to as near "stock" as I can, then make another nandroid.
So I used the RUU listed here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 for the UK GSM Vodafone ... it ran, it siad it was complete, and it rebooted the phone.......
All I now get is a black screen with 2 white bars down the side ....
If I force it to the "revolutionary" boot (vol + power) I get the normal screen , but if I go to "Hboot/recovery" instead of the blue on black set of menus I get a flash of the white HTC screen with a random black line across iot followed by the same black screen with 2 white stripes ..
I cannot seem to get access to anything but the raw boot menu of revolutionary .....
I've tried running the RUU 3 times, it runs the same each time .. I can watch the progress on the phone screen, it all sems quite happy until it reboots
Have I bricked it ???
or am I using the wrong RUU ?? if so, where do I get the "right" one please ?
Try manual downgrade. The file name will be shown once u hit bootloader P***IMG.zip. copy the file on the root of the sdcard and reload bootloader. Since it does not boot you will have to take sdcard out and use a reader to copy file from PC to root of sdcard.
Once copied place sdcard into phone and reboot bootloader. There will a bar on top right corner accessing the P***IMG.zip file. What it is doing is installing the stock rom. PM me with questions

Get the PD98IMG.zip from above link.
Sorted
Many thanks for the quick reply ... unfortunately I couldn't get your method to work, as I could not get access to the SD card in anyway, from the phone ... normal boot or via recovery ... but I sat and thought .. and wondered ..... it was almost as if the phone was booting and hanging looking for an OS ... so "in for a penny" .... I downloaded and ran a different RUU ...
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811 as it looked like it had an OS - Froyo and a much newer radio ......
This ran and worked !!! Phone worked, access to USB debugging switch, and I reinstalled the recovery software (Revolution) ... I can now boot to the recovery "blue writing" type screen. Nandroid backup made ... (phew) and back to installing a custom ROM ....
Not bricked as suspected .. but have I learned something ... yup ... all files on SD card now backed up onto PC ..including nandroid !!
Regards and thanks

Needing help fast

Hello.
I got HTC Desire.
It got alot of problems, i've tried my best but i cant do nothing... I thought u guys can help me.
1. When i turn on phone, i only see HTC logo and it vibrates 7 times. Then reboots few times and turns off.
2. How can i root my phone if phone is off?
3. Any idea, how to fix this problem?
- I've tried to install with Ruus but all of them stuck at "Updating signature" and i dont see anything loading under HTC logo when i try to install with RUU.
I hope you guys can help me,
Your the best!
Try the 2.3 RUU.

Download the 2.3 ruu from my sig. Do not rename the zip.
Take it, and put it on the root of your sd-card, like... Outside any folder.
Then, boot in hboot. You should be prompted to update. Select yes, then post the results.
//Hboot usb/fastboot usb// working
[1] Radio_V2 - FailPU
Everything else OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!

It's a radio brick. Your baseband somehow got corrupted. There are three methods of solving this:
1. Change your phone.
2. Go to a gsm service for a fix
3. Endlessly flash RUUs and hope that one of them will eventually succeed. (About 1/1000 chance of that happening)
I see that i need S-OFF but i even can't login to my phone.
"PREREQUISITES :
a ROOTed HTC Desire ROM with debugging option enabled on it."
I reflowed phone. Now Radio is OK but its trying to login HTC logo and vibrates...
