[Q] Problem with hboot on phone! Help! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I used revolutionary to get s-off and unrevoked 3 to get root access on my Telstra HTC Desire and it was all working fine, so I installed rom manager on my phone and then selected Leedroid to update. As soon as it finished downloading and installing my phone now gets stuck on the splash screen and when I enter the hboot menu (vol + -) it says missing or wrong img for something called PB99 and if I try to use the Telstra rom update program from the HTC site it wont flash back to the stock rom it came with because the phone is not being picked up by my pc (running win7 64bit) when I type abd devices into cmd (running SDK Manager). The goldcard I made with g-parted doesnt have a proper backup either. I swapped from CWM to AD Recovery 2 and it picks the sd card up on my pc and I can install roms etc but it just keeps freezing on the the first telstra splash screen. Can anyone help me? PS - I am a noob but am getting some idea after stuffing around with it for 2 days.

This is the error I am getting before it freezes on the splash screen...

I tried moving one from Alpharev on to my sd card and when I try to install from sd it tells me 'can't find update script'...

can you post more info from fastboot? power+back button

do you download the PB99IMG_xxxx.zip file und rename it to PB99IMG.zip?
and copy the file to root directory??

Try with Bravo Downgrader from AlphaRev website.

Unrevoked3

Hey all. Need help as usual. I "rooted" using unrekoved3. I'm a mac user and that's the reason i chose unrevoked. But now I'm thinking i should have jusr rooted from a pc. I dont think i have full rooy. Heres what i did.
1. Download unrevoked3 for mac. Opened file, ran program, rooted phone.
2. Downloaded titanium backup. Performed a full user/data and app backup.
3. Downloaded busybox.
4. Downloaded rom manager. Clicked clockwork option.
5. Downloaded terminal emulator
Verified root by typing SU, got #.
6. Accessed superuser permission app.
7. Downloaded setcpu.
8. Downloaded root manager.
I never ran a pc36img file on the phone. When i go into bootloader and try to do a nand, the screen stays on htc evo 4g white screen. When i enter bootloader, some text flashes for a second that says pc36diag.zip and pc36nbh.zip... no Image! I think i missed a step.
I had 2.2 before root, thats why i chose unrevoked3. I am thinking about unrooting but i dont know how to on a mac. It seems i need to download htc sync which there are no links for a mac.
I dont know what to do. Should i unroot on a pc and reroot using a better method? Im driving to va, currently in TN. Ill be mobile so please reply and or msg me on gtalk: [email protected]. thanks guys
Sent from my Evo 4g from inside my Evo X.
I think once you go into the bootloader screen, there should be an option to go into recovery mode.
sent via HTC EVO
i tried doing that. the phone wont go into recovery mode. it just stays on the white htc evo 4g screen. the exact message i get when i go into bootloader is this...
sd checking...
loading... [pc36imgdiag.zip]
no image!
loading... [pc36diag.nbh.zip]
no image or wrong image!
loading... [pc36img.zip]
no image!
loading... [pc36img.nbh]
no image or wrong image!
then it goes back to the bootloader screen, if i select power down it will boot normal. if i select recovery, it freezes on white screen
I'm a total noob to EVO and I am getting the same result too...
Altough I rooted via PC. I was on 2.2 stock from the box and I used unrevoked3 as well. Everything seemed to be OK and I showed root and S-OFF but after downloading ROMManager and trying to do a nand backup, I keep getting this same message during bootup. If I let it do its thing, the phone seems to work OK... but I don't think I have root anymore. I tried to load wireless tether and it tells me that I need root, so I assume I am no longer rooted.
Could it be that I need to load a recovery onto SD? I'm gonna try and do unrevoked3 again and see if it will give me root again...
EDIT: when I try to go to recovery, I get the black screen with the red circle and ! and it doesn't do anything. I have to do a battery pull.
hah funny story, IT IS SUPPOSED TO FLASH THAT TEXT. this is the phone checking itself for a manual update. i have no idea why you cant go into recovery. try reflashing with rom manager again, but this time, i would reccomend the alternate recovery (amon ra)
thanks, I'll try that
what do I do, put amon ra on the sd?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026 recovery thread
im personally not a big fan of clockwork...
i prefer fastboot method, if you have a pc handy. need the tools folder of the android sdk and put the recovery file in the same directory as fastboot (should be /android sdk/tools unless you change install folders)
although you can flash recovery w/o pc using adb method. get astro or another file manager so you can move files around easily on /sdcard/ put the recovery file on the sd card and check if you have flash_image. if not, i have it attached and then just put it on the root of the sd card as well. then follow instructions on the recovery thread.
if you need the flash_image, go into the .zip and extract it to sd card root.

[Q] Unable to get S-OFF

Hi,
I'm not able to get s-off my wildfire with step by step guide of nejc121.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
I formatted my sd to fat32 (it was fat),
I copied the PC49IMG.zip file in the SD.
When I turn on hboot, after few seconds on screen appears something like:

and then come back to the normal view of htboot.
So nothing appends, anyone can help me?
My hboot version is 1.01.0001
That guide is supposed to be used after you have got S-OFF using AlphaRev X. The title clearly states it.
To perform the steps before that (Actually using AlphaRev X to get S-OFF), follow these steps:

Can you turn phone off? If not take out the battery and reboot into recovery and restore nandroid backup if you made one. No need to revert to stock you can just go back to your previous good ROM.

Well... When I go to the recovery mode i got a red triangle... and cannot install any zip file, just update.zip.
try unrooting with RUU
Where I can find these RUU to unroot my phone?
And how I choose the right RUU to use?
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo All* RUU's available are here, you should match the RUU as best you can to your network or region. If your phone is unbranded try the latest WWE RUU.
*I think
EDIT: didn't see any Orange RUU's there (Just OTA updates). I'm not really the biggest expert/ fan of unrooting/ using RUU's. Lol someone else get in on this.
Yep! You are right there's no Orange RUU.
And I tried those RUU:
- RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed
- RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
- RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684
- RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704
- RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_FR_1.21.163.2_Radio_32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2_release_126985_signed
Until now none of them has worked. I got always the same Error 131, costumer ID error.
I also tried the OTA_Bravrange_CH-FR_2.22.71.2-1.19.72.3_P_release8xcr7nx2a68060l7, rename the file to update.zip and install in recovery mode, but it didn't work.
I will keep trying those RUU... But it doesn't seems to work...
What else can i do??
emm.. you could try extracting the rom.zip and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip and placing it in the root of your sdcard.. but I'd get some more advice first, unrooting & using RUUs isn't exactly my specialty.
Get the latest WWE RUU (you'll need to find out which one this is I don't know)
To get the rom.zip (would post the guide but I can't find it)
1. run the RUU and don't click next, just leave it on the first screen (put it to the side somewhere since it's always on top and will get annoying).
2. Go to start and click "run", or press the windows key and "R". In the dialog box type in "%temp%" (without quote).
3. sort using date (if you hit the little down arror, and select "Today" it makes your job a lot easier), and one of the temp folders will contain all the android stuff, and the file you are looking for is called rom.zip
4. grab the file and put it somewhere where you can remember, rename to PB99IMG.zip (make sure you don't name it PB99IMG.zip.zip since windows does that sometimes for some reason)
5. Put in the root of your sdcard, and boot into bootloader. You will be prompted to install.
But again before you do this get someone elses opinion on this. I don't want to be responsible if something goes wrong.
Thanks for helping bortak!
In the end, i just found my Goldcard, put it in my mobile and used the last WWE RUU.
And everything is fine now!
Thanks again man!

[Q] another bricked phone thread; help needed

I've looked around for solutions as much as I could before posting
I've outlined everything I've done so far, not sure how much is relevant
Was running LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 before the phone became bricked
I rebooted the phone at one point, and the battery fell out during a reboot
Next time I rebooted it got to the ascii art android logo, onto a part with text on, and got stuck in a boot loop, the text had a progress part "so&so out of 2703kb" or something to that effect
(can't remember the text exactly)
After a few tries at rebooting it went to the home screen, however nothing loaded onto the home screen for 20 minutes, and the only function that worked was locking the screen, I couldn't turn it off or anything.
After this, everytime I booted it got stuck in a boot-loop on a splash screen of
"ANDROID" in silver writing
This is what I currently get when I boot my phone
When booted into recovery mode (hboot) I first get the message;
SD Checking...

Loading...[PC36IMG.zip]

After I get this message I am free to go into fastboot and recovery menu
The PC recognises the phone in fastboot (I'm running windows 7)
I tried reflashing the leedroid rom straight from the recovery menu, didn't affect anything at all.
Went on to reformat sd card entirely.
Tried updating to the latest ruu, as there was no ruu that was exactly the same as mine, my phone was originally on virgin mobile and there were no ruu's with the same baseband
RUU used; RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
But the update fails part way through (after it reboots the phone) and gives
ERROR 131: CID ERROR
Rom update utility cannot update your phone at this time
Please get the correct rom update utility and try again

Can anyone help?
if you can go into recovery, try reflash the zip file again and let it do its job. your hboot is not screwed so it shall restart with a new flash. recommending you download oxygen and save it on your sdcard. due to its fastest to load and most stable.
Just FYI: bootloop is not any kind of brick, and you're not bricked either.
Just do full wipe and reflash the ROM.
If you want to go back stock, you will need goldcard when running RUU.

Did you do Full Wipe/Factory reset & dalvik cache wipe before flashing new ROM?
Do you have any partitions on SD card?

I wiped both
Yes, I partitioned it as instructed in the stickied noob guide
4GB partioned to 1GB of Ext3, the rest is FAT32. The partition is still there.
Probably something went wrong when you was creating ext partition, what i suggest is downloading this recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661317&stc=1&d=1311251519 (md5sum zip: 170785457774834c7ae58e331d6f4ab4)
Put it onto your sdcard (root of SD, not in any folders), rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" and boot into bootloader.
It should ask if you want to update, choose yes.
Partition your SD in new recovery, it will also perfectly align it, try to flash with this should be good.

Didn't ask if it wanted to update
Text said loading image, A progress bar automatically appeared on the right, after it was done loading, it said 'checking image' then just went straight back into the bootloader
Are you sure you renamed file to PB99IMG.zip ? You can also try to rename it to PB99IMG (without extension)

Yep, just double checked and tried a few more times, redownloaded and tried again just to be sure.
When renamed without extension the phone didn't find it, renamed with .zip extension the phone seemed to recognise it, but stopped after saying "checking image"
If you are branded try to put in you gold card and then try...

What did you used to partition your SD card?

I'm just trying to create a gold card now (didn't know about them until after I flashed)
I used Gparted
You can also try to repartition in the recovery you have right now, might help who knows.
I'm crossing my fingers for the repartitioning from current recovery mode to work
because I'm not entirely sure on how to create a goldcard without being able to boot my phone normally
*edit*
Yes, that did indeed work
seems the file structure got fudged up when the battery fell out for a reboot
such a simple solution that I overlooked at the beginning sorry
Thanks for all your help
Create goldcard and bring your phone back to stock with the ruu you already wanted to use. With three goldcard you won't get the cid error.
Run unrevoked again, but this time you use a custom recovery:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash_package.exe
I can highly recommend rmd recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137763
Download the zip, extract it and check the md5 of the image.
Standard amonra recovery:
www.android-hilfe.de/attachments/ro...-0-0-14-11-2010-recovery-ra-desire-v2.0.1.zip
Configure your phone correctly for using unrevoked.
Start unrevoked>file>custom recovery>choose the downloaded recovery image.
Run unrevoked.
If successfully done, go into recovery and flash custom rom.
The one k3lcior provided cannot be used as long as one is not s-on. So you cannot use it.
@k3lcior: Take care of this when you tell people to flash this recovery.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

Think shes bricked ?

Yeah I'm pretty sure I flashed the wrong ruu. She just hangs on the splash screen when booting the phone and booting into recovery. When I try to flash the right ruu it just says plug in phone. The phone is s-off with revolutionary.
Just one more thing it does when I hold down the vol. down and the power to start hboot it comes up with this

So what i want know is there hope or should I just see how far I can skim it across a lake?
You can try to put a PB99IMG.zip on the root of you SD card and it should do the flash automatic.
Search here in XDA for a correct PB99IMG.zip (there are many but i have not much time now to look for a link).
I don't think you have bricked Desire. Normaly this way should work.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I believe there is hope since you can still go fastboot. I suggest that you delete that file on ur sd card that it tries to install though.
As far as what to do next, I can't give you a confident answer.
Ignore me, I'm a n00b.
steini81 you are a dead set champ
I had to get the rom.zip file from the right ruu and rename it pb99img.zip and put it on my sd card and it flash that way...
thanks for pointing me in the right direction
if you were S-OFF why didn't you just flash a new recovery?
I tried and it just stayed on wait for device
