[Q] Boot loop, no USB connectivity and signature verification failed

I have searched for hours and give up finding a workingsolution to the problem.
Long story short - Installed the latest OTA update manually by bypassing signature verfication on a rooted Froyo phone (still not entire sure how I did this, but I'll get back to this later).
The phone currently does boot loops repeatably. I can enter Hboot and menus Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage and SIMlock.
Phone info:
Bravo PVT1 ship s-on
Hboot 0.93.0001
Microp 031d
Touch panel-synt0101
radio-5.11.05.27

Rooted with unrevoked 3 (I think)...
I installed Andriod SDK and ADT plugin for Eclipse on my WinXP PC.
USB Connectivity
My USB connectivity have three running USB scenarios
1. Then boot looping the HDD Icon show up momentarily but am unable to access it. In control panel the HDD works fine. I assume the SD Card is dismounted.
2. In Hboot mode, only Unrevoked USB drivers would install for then connecting the phone with a USB cable to the computer.
3. In Fastboot mode, only Google USB drivers (from the SDK) worked.
Though, there should be connectivity then applying the "ADB shell" command it detects no device in either boot mode. Either does the RUU Toolkit or Unrevoke 3.21.
Signature verification failed
I have a micro SD adoptor, so I have tried various ROMs and run recovery mode attempting to flash the phone. Depending on which ROMs the signature verifications make different progress (0-20 %).
What is funny, is that what allowed me to install the OTA in the first place was toggle the verification off. But, I have no idea how I did this. I do not have an alternative recovery manager installed. Though, it seems something from deleted from the update due to the install being an OTA. And that there might have been an alternative recovery mode.
I have been unable to "recovery-windows.bat" trick as no USB connectivity!
The latest PB99IMG file is currupt as that would be my last attempt. If anyone have this working please send it my way. Also, I have downloaded a 168 MB version of this file but I do not know what to do with it!?
I hope someone finds this a challenge and can help out! I have almost given up...
Cheers

Do a search on here for how to apply the PB99IMG.
It is quite a common request and there are lots of posts telling you how to do it

Thanks for the heads up. I know this is a quite common post hence my frustration with nothing working.
I emphasized that the PB99IMG from the server is corrupt (10x download attempts) and if anyone could email a functional file?

Email a 168MB file?? Good luck with that one!!
Download this:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N03CIN0U
And then read the Word document I attached to this thread. It explains how to get the PB99IMG file from an RUU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102
The reason you can't 'turn off signature' is because the OTA has flashed the stock recovery back on. Yet another example of why you should NOT FLASH AN OTA ON A ROOTED PHONE!!

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!

Okay well good to know you managed to get it fixed

unbricking an Wildfire? AKA stuck at fastboot

Hi All
Sorry if this has been resolved before but I can't see the solution.
I have just got hold of an HTC Wildfire that's stuck on Fastboot:
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.007
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-3.35.15.31
Aug 9 2010,22:37:43
Lets assume its never been rooted - what are my options
Currently none of the buttons work in Fastboot.
When I hold the power and volume down it enters HBOOT but as before non of the buttons or touch sensor works, tho if I plug in the usb cable it changes to HBOOT USB PLUG.
Any ideas on how I can bring it back to life?
TiA
I.

I am definitely lost here. I have no idea what you mean by "Stuck at Fastboot". Fastboot is a special mode enabled when you S-OFF the device using AlphaRev / Revolutionary, which allows special Fastboot commands, previously only allowed on engineering sample devices and developer devices. AFAIK, there is no such thing as "Fastboot" on a never rooted HTC Wildfire.
Anyway, it seems everything is in order (Because, I dont know what happens when you are trying to turn on the phone normally). But, note that when in HBOOT mode, you have to wait a while for the phone to scan through the sdcard for PC49IMG files. Once the scan is over, only then you can navigate through it. Also, navigation is achieved using the side volume buttons, and, to select an entity, use the power button. No other button, and the touch will not respond in the HBOOT Mode, and it is normal.
Now, assuming your device is not booting, try installing the Stock ROM over it again, but since installing an RUU will not be possible since the device is not booting, you will have to extract the ROM.zip from one.
- Download the Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1 RUU from here - (It is an EXE File) - http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
- Extract the ROM.zip file from the RUU. Follow this method (Assuming you have a Windows PC) http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
- Once you have that file, rename it to PC49IMG.zip, place on your SDCard, then reboot in HBOOT mode. It will attempt to install the ROM itself. Remember again, only use the Power button to select stuff in HBOOT mode, and side volume keys to navigate.

Thanks for the reply: Sorry I failed to report that the device jumps straight to HBOOT from power on. Downloading the required files I'll do an update once the steps have been followed.

UPDATE:
Loading PC49IMG.zip
Checking PC49IMG.zip
CID incorrect!
Update FAIL!
Press <POWER> to reboot.

It's going to need a Goldcard in that case. Create one using this guide:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
Alternately, use this GUI App to that:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/308798-pc-application-goldcardtool/

Thanks but correct me if I am wrong but don't you need to have a working Wildfire to generate a Gold card? (debug mode on)

Got an interesting update,
As I'm getting CID error's I'm guessing its down to the phone being a branded model.
Looking at the Phone, I ruled out Orange and Virgin as they usually plaster their logo all over the the phone.
Did I few keyword searches with keywords from the Part number and other digits on the box.
It started to look like a H3G (Three) Phone.
Using the link above I downloaded:
RUU_Buzz_H3G_UK_1.16.771.2_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_131501_signed.exe (Eclair version)
Followed the steps and above and it gave me the following error:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
So success! (well sort off). does anyone have a H3G (Three) UK signed Froyo image (exe) RUU?
Thanks
I.

There is an OTA update.zip available for H3G UK. Look for this file on Shipped ROMs:
OTA_Buzz_Froyo_H3G_UK_2.33.771.1-1.26.771.1_release_163490jq8do89dc3y83p6w.zip
Now, I am not 100% certain on how to install this, since I personally have never tried it, but, try this procedure nevertheless.
- Download that file
- Rename to update.zip
- Then, place it on your SDCard
- Reboot in HBOOT mode
- Navigate to RECOVERY in HBOOT Mode, Press Power button. This will show you a red triangle with an exclamation mark
- Now, Press VOL UP + POWER simultaneously, this should take you to the Stock Recovery
- Here, select apply SD:update.zip. It will again automatically attempt to update the ROM.

Again thanks for your help... I'm so close
Remember none of the keys are responsive even waiting for the timeout of the loading.
Also using a different method I've think I've created a goldcard. (If it works I'll post how I did it.)
What do I do once I have a goldcard?
What file should I be looking to install?

A generic WWE one in that case, (Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1 as I linked earlier, or, Eclair 1.37.405.1, both available as EXE's)
Remember though, Goldcards are device specific. But, the defective keys are indeed a problem. In such a case, I guess the only method that remains is the one I posted in post #2
Good Luck

FECK!
So if my goldcard was working, using the extraction rom.zip process in Step 2 it would override the CID incorrect issue, am I correct?
Currently I am still getting the same error message...
Back to the drawing board...

Yes, that is about correct. Also, some sdcards do not like being made into goldcards, so, if possible, try with another. (If even after retrying, it doesn't work)

Well I'm one step closer...
Created a Goldcard and I was able to install the ROM.zip it reported that it worked, however when I powered the unit back on it went straight back for fastboot....
:/

Are you sure it's an undamaged phone? Now it seems that it's sort of damaged. (Board / button damage). The RUU flash should have solved any software issues, because, as you verified, it did flash successfully.
BTW, can you tell me which RUU you flashed, and what do you get as the first few lines of HBoot? (Which initially was Buzz PVT SHIP S-ON, HBOOT 0.80.0007... etc)?

Checked all the buttons - seem to be ok, I can hear the micro switches clicking:
It has been updated:
HBOOT-1.01.0001
MICROP-0622
RADIO-3.35.20.10
Downloading SUnAaBh v1.1 will see if that will work.

You can't flash Sunaabh / Other ROM's using this method. Official one's only. The buttons may click, but, if they are not doing what they are intended to do, it's obviously damaged,

Hmm, ok can I force a clockworkmod flash?

It's going to need the S-OFF exploit by Revolutionary to push Clockworkmod Recovery, which I guess needs USB Debugging on.
http://revolutionary.io/

Well
Volume down and power button works - otherwise it would not have gone into HBOOT and Volume up button works otherwise I would not have been able to start the flash.
Def a strange one...

See if you can do a "Clear Storage" in HBoot, although it's not going to help, it's worth a shot IMO.
BTW, doesn't the phone automatically enter in HBoot when you turn on just using the Power key?

[Q] No ROM or anything installed on phone [SOLVED]

Dear reader,
Thanks in advance for your time. I have to, yet again, rely on your knowledge. Even though there is an endless amount of knowledge available on these forums, it seems that I keep searching for the wrong keywords since I am not getting the results I need.
I have been running CyanogenMod for a year now, and I decided I was up for a change. I rebooted into recovery and installed MIUI.us. I do have to admit I don't know much when it comes to flashing, installing differents OS's, etc.
Let me describe the situation: I wanted to start all over again, clean the SD-card and internal memory and re-install MIUI but somewhere in the process I got stuck. Now my screen is stuck on the HTC screen, and the only thing I can do is load into -I don't really now what it is called- (I lack the terminology). The screen is as follows:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Oct 11 2010, 12:47:02
HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I press recovery I get the cellphone with the red triangle and exclamation mark on top of it. If I then press vol-up + power I get the Android system recovery <3e> screen. When I select to apply the update.zip I get an error. This is probably because I don't have it no my SD card due to me having formatted it.
So now I don't know which steps to follow. Can any of you tell me how to fix my issue, or refer me to a good tutorial that handles my problem.
My apologies again for having to rely on your time again. Thanks in advance!
Yours sincerely,
Nicolas

If i understood well the reason update is failing is because you dont have a update.zip file on your sd card right?
If this is the case download one of the stock roms listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610483
or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19101263#post19101263
If your not sure which one to download download this RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879375
If you download a update.zip put it in your sdcard on the main directory and boot to bootloader -the screen for which you lacked the terminology-
update should occur automatically.
If you decide to download a RUU instead of a update.zip...
To get update.zip from RUU download and run the RUU on your pc without connecting your device to the pc and follow on screen instructions, once you get to the part when it tells you to connect your phone go to the temp folder on windows and extract rom.zip to desktop, rename to update.zip and do the steps above.
You only need one method for update.zip i posted 2 to give you the option to chose which one you prefer.
Please press the thanks button if I was helpful.
Pm me if that doesn't work

Thank you
Thanks for your clear elaborate explanation. My cellphone is again happily running MIUI without any problems.
For future references: I have followed your second option since I didn't know which stock rom to download. As filefactory constantly didn't have a free download spot, I downloaded the RUU using the link found on post number 334. The link brought everything back in order, and allowed me to use the ace hack kit afterwards.
Thanks again inspiredbyhtc for your time and help. Credit is of course given where credit is due. Much appreciated!
This thread is solved and can be archived.

[Q] HTC Desire Bravo PVT1 badly bricked. Unrooted and S-ON

Hi everybody, first of all many thanks for a great forum. I have found it very useful in the past and never needed to seek help, but this time I am stumped and although I read pretty well all the threads on the subject I have not been able to solve my problem and I fear I have a paper weight on my hands.
My Desire does not boot up and stays on the HTC logo on a white screen for ever. This happened after a stupid and unresearched attempt to downgrade my Hboot from 1.03 to earlier ones with RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.20.771.3_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124822.exe.
The process worked fine but my Desire never managed to reboot and got stuck on the opening logo.
I can go into HBOOT USB PLUG and I can charge the battery (the led comes on and eventually goes green). The HBoot screen reads:
LOCKED (00W)
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 1.03.0003
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO - 4.05.00.11
Date 21 2011 - 20:44:09
I can do FASTBOOT DEVICES and get
HT06XPL00452 fastboot
but any other operation with fastboot always gives me:
FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes)
Does anybody know what this means?
I also tried:
** to rerun the official RUU but I get a clearly wrong message saying that the battery is below 30% charge and the program stops.
** several other RUUs with same result except RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_29_405_5_Radio_32_49_00_32U_5_11_05_27_release_159811_signed.exe which leads to ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR. I know the USB Hboot drivers are ok and are those I downloaded from XDA. Device manager shows "Android composire interface"
** select RECOVERY but it goes immediately into the white screen aith HTC logo and gets stuck
** select CLEAN STORAGE . When I answer "Yes to Delete all user data?" it confirms "clear..." and then gets stuck on the log screen
** select SIMLOCK and get
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Has anybody got any other ideas? Should I just give up and use it as paperweight?

Many thanks eddiehk. The RUUs I had tried before came from shippedroms.com too but I cannot find any for the Desire (nor for the Bravo) with 2.3.3 nor WWW in their name. Do you have a specific link? I have just tried yet another one for luck but got the same result as before "battery less then 30%" which is not!:crying:
The PB88IMG.zip method cannot work for me as I cannot get to write to the system nor the sdcard as the phone does not boot up. I have read a bortak's guide, but it seem to be only for S-OFF setups and it also seems to be only for rooted phones. Mine is not rooted and it has S-ON.
Any other ides anybody?

"HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip" at the bottom
I meant "PB99IMG.zip" method sorry. It should and will work. It does not require the phone to be booted up. It only requires you to copy it to the root of the sdcard (use a card reader). Then boot into bootloader (volume down + power), wait a few seconds, then accept. All in the guide
Or search how to downgrade hboot 1.03 in these forums, I've seen it successfully done on a few occasions.

Many thanks again. Unfortunately I got no further. I downloaded the PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTCCN_CHS_CU_2.35.1402.5_Radio_32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17_release_163341_signed.zip file from the url you indicated. There were several PB99IMG... and picked one at random. None had the same radio as what was indicated on my Hboot screen by the way. Anyway given the lack of success I suspect it wouldn't have made any difference which one I picked. I then copied it to the root of the sd card using my PC and kept my fingers firmly crossed when I went into bootloader. After a brief moment I saw a subliminal message about checking something but could not read the rest. It then went back to the now very boring Hboot screen with the normal commands "fastboot;recovery;clear storage and simlock".:crying:
Then I tried to use the Universal Android AIO flasher and could see some messages. Trying to flash something in fastboot mode always gave this message:
"(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"
It does look like something is very screwed up on the internal card and might need a total reformatting. Is it possible or am I barking at the wrong tree?
LATEST UPDATE
OK, I am officially an idiot.
The reason why the .zip file did not work was that I had not changed its name to PB99IMG.ZIP. I did that and hey presto got it to reload the firmware,
As I ended up with a Chinese carrier version I would now like to change it again to a European version preferably a no carrier version. How can I find out which version to pick and which one is the latest version on the ShippedRom site?
In the meantime many many many thanks for all the help. It is so great to have this forum to help all the newbies like me.

@marco_bruzzone
You got a Chinese ROM version because you ignored my advice......
You get the "European version preferably no carrier version" by actually reading my previous post..................
I even quoted the name and location of the correct RUU to use..............
