Hey everyone. Been browsing these forums for a year now, haven't posted really, I'm kind of saddened that the first real post I have is a problem...
I have a Desire Z here (not mine), completely stock, never rooted or anything... the problem is that is will not boot, it just boot loops at the splash screen.. The strange thing is that I also cannot use the Recovery or Factory Reset options in the bootloader as they both also send the phone into a boot loop.
What can I try?

Thanks again to anyone that can take the time to help me out! Cheers.
That is a very interesting case you have there, its gonna be a pain in the ass to fix.
Have you tried a factory reset?
Do you know what software version was/is on the device?

Factory Reset puts the device in a bootloop as well. I'm not sure what software verison was on the device, but my best guess is that it was never OTA updated so it likely has whichever rom the Bell HTC Desire Z ships with.
EDIT: Running "fastboot oem gencheckpt" gives me the following: "FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))". I think this is really bad. Does this device have a fried CPU?
I'm fairly certain the FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes)) just means you ran the command in HBOOT instead of FASTBOOT mode, though even if you were in fastboot mode, you won't be able to use many commands as its a ship hboot.
You could try flash an official rom on it. You should be able to find one at shipped-roms.com, or at htcdev.com

I had Oxygen hboot installed but wanted to switch back to original ROM. I Ran RUU but forgot to replace hboot with original one.
Now i have gray HTC in middle and /!\ in corners.
I can run RUU again and it recognizes the phone, but gives ERROR[152]:IMAGE UPDATE ERROR and recovery option doesn't help either, ends up with same error while retrying.
I can't boot into bootloader with power+vol. down
Any suggestions what to do next ? Is there any solutions ?
Nevermind, Fastboot worked. Flashed correct hboot, ran RUU again and it's working now.
please help
Can you be more specific for a noob?! I have the exact same problem and i'm desperate. What exactly did you do?
You need to fastboot flash (using commands or android flasher) the Alpharev downgrader image like it says on the alpharev site. Basically the same way you flashed your current hboot.
done
thanks guys, mine is working too now
Hi guyz!
I just bought a second hand Desire from a guy i dont know, and it seems it has some issues. I know it is not bricked as i can enter the bootloader and the fastboot mode. But that's all. I cannot access any recovery i flash, or boot any rom.
I flashed several RUU's via bootloader, one of them is booting but it reboots as soon as it settles down. Others dont even boot.
I am familiar with flashing, with fastboot and all that, i just have no experience in HTC Desire.

So this is what i get. Is there a method to get some working ROM on this one, other than flashing RUU's that doesnt seem to work? Or flashing with recovery?
I have flashed clockwork recovery via fastboot, it still doesnt work. It vibrates 7 times than the screen stays at the htc logo.
Maybe there is a fastboot method to inject all the stock stuff into the phone? And maybe somebody have those img's?
Many thanks, guys!
Hey guys i got a HTC G2 Desire and i did a wipe on it and for some reason its suck on the HTC screen, I tried to do the PC10IMG.zip on it, but it does nothing, it loads and than it stays on the screen (Does not ask me to update). So than i tried to do it manuall via Adb (fastboot flash radio radio.img) and it gives me an error of failed (remote: signature verify fail) i dont know what else to do.

the main thing is don't freak out, cause even in the worse case, all you have to do is send your phone and US$40 to that famous dude here in the forum who un-bricks anything!
so i tried to run the Stock GB PC10IMG file on it, and i guess apparantly its still too old so its wont boot through. Is there a latest version of the PC10IMG that i can update it to?

With S-ON, I don't think you'll be able to push things via adb; that being said, pushing a new radio via PC10IMG or adb won't fix this.
What steps did you take to wipe the device.

rom when all this happend: ilwlt 376
cwm recovery 3.0.2.4
I've rooted 2 phones, 2 tablets and debranded one. Last one(desire z) i had to debrand it and root it. Everything went smooth as it would. But just recently i had weird shutdowns and it went stuck very often. So i changed rom a few times to see if that could help it. I've tried several things... just few days ago it went HTC loop, I gived it 2 hour to try to boot but no :/
Here is status of current situation and problems which i know.
HTC startup logo loop
Takes time from hboot to boot for recovery(cwm).
eMMC fried? (recovery shows E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log and last_log)
So what should i do? :S
Thank you for reading
...sounds really bad
there are ways to confirm if its a broken emmc chip (google for it)
other thing you could try is to do a complete wipe through fastboot (i think its fastboot erase -w) and then flash a recovery through fastboot...
or try to recreate your partitions, means flash a ruu through fastboot
Or join the irc channel #g2root (and ask there for help)
Good luck

Hi XDA-devs,
I have a HTC Desire HD from Telus. I've hit a dead end after hours of searching, trying to no avail. I have seen similar attempts by others on the forums who have had a degree of success, but they also come from other paths.
I WAS running Clockwork Mod, with Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 and was attempting to bring my phone back to original Telus stock.
I was following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731324
I had downloaded the RUU EXE from that thread and ran it in administrator and like many people before me, the RUU could not detect my phone, I had tried installing HTC Sync, still no effect.
So like someone had suggested on that thread, that I extracted the ROM from the RUU, by using this method:
https://sites.google.com/site/androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-ruu
I went to recovery, and tried to install that ZIP. it said. E:Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip (bad)
Assuming I had chosen the wrong option. So then I went to look how to FLASH the ROM. Searching I found the ULTIMATE ACE GUIDE on here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30020025&postcount=7)
Followed it's steps starting on Page 5. So far I only completed steps 1-7 which include Formatting Data/Wiping Cache and Formatting System. haven't actually installed anything new yet.
Upon rebooting, I got stuck on the White HTC Boot Screen, Pressing Vol-down + Power does not do anything, Pulling the battery just repeats this symptom.
Fortunately, I used ADB, and managed to get it back to HBOOT and eventualy back to Clockwork Mod Recovery. So as far as I know I'm not yet Bricked, but still need a good ROM to properly install.
Things you may ask me:
Clockwork Mod v5.0.2.0
My SD is goldcarded.
Obviously my Phone has been Rooted Before.
The Rom I was trying to install is: "RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe"
Update: I just reloaded Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 back on, so again, my phone is fine, it's simply a matter of finding a Telus Stock Rom that I can install via ZIP.
I cannot help in RUUs, but if you want Sense 3 you should really give a try for Android Revolution HD 9.0, that's a great ROM for that and doesn't have much changes in look compared to stock.
What's the point in all these RUU's and steps to extracting the ROM from it if they don't do anything ;P?
Are you S-Off or S-On? Is your bootloader relocked? What does hboot say?

Is there any other information I need to provide?
Hi guys,
two days already I am trying to flash a custom ROM to my HTC Desire HD.
First I managed to unlock the bootloader using the Easy Ace Root Tool and installed ClockworkMod.
Then I tried flashing JellyTime 4.2 R11 and it got stuck at the HTC logo screen. I tried all kinds of suggestions from the forums about wiping / formatting via ClockworkMod but with no success.
Afterwards I used a second phone to put the Download Android Revolution HD 7.3 ROM on the SD card and flash it. This one went fine through the installation wizard but when I was back to ClockworkMod recovery mode I got: "Can't open /cache/recovery/log" "Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log". Then I selected reboot and it was hanging on the HTC logo again... I was waiting for a minute before I took the battery out... After this I tried "format /cache" from the CWM but didn't help either.
Then I tried using a RUU utility in fastbood mode to flash an official HTC ROM: RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.
It reached a particular point saying that the update failed.
I thought I cannot install the official ROM because I have unlocked the bootloader, so I locked it again using the htc fastboot utility. This didn't help either and the RUU failed again.
Here is what the bootloader currently shows:

I am at a point when I am ultimately confused and I don't know how much time I have (in terms of battery I mean )
So I have just a couple of shots before this turns into a beautiful piece of aluminium brick.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Pesho

Fixed it.. Had to flash the boot.img using the fastboot utility.
Best,
