A few weeks ago I noticed I had to press hard on my volume down key to get it to work. The power button is also very soft and will turn on randomly in my pocket because of this. So just before my warranty ends, I want to take it to the service center and get a new power button and volume rocker. But my phone is rooted. I tried running the RUU but it came with the error 171 that it couldn't find the phone. I've tried lots of things but it won't work. I've also extracted the ROM files and have all the boot.imgs and all that, but im scared i could brick my phone, plus adb cannot find my phone whenever i connect it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Assuming your s-off and using windows, you can extract the Rom.zip from the ruu like this.
First click start on your pc and type %temp% to open your temp folder then keep a close eye on that folder as you run the ruu (no need to connect your phone) some new folders should appear inside the temp folder look through them and find Rom.zip copy it to your desktop and rename it to PC49IMG.zip then copy that to your sdcard, reboot into hboot and press vol up when prompted.
That should reset you back to stock but with s-off I think, then have a read of this to hopefully go back to s-on.

Install PDANet to get drivers for your phone, so it gets detected.
Thanks for your replies, I finally managed to get the RUU working after uninstalling ALL of the drivers. I will write a guide on it later.

Edited the entire first post to make it clear what the issue *was* and what the solution is:
ISSUE:
1. Desire screen not switching on at all even though phone switches on.
2. Phone boots but doesn't go beyond bootloader/recovery/fastboot
3. Can get into recovery even though nothing comes on screen (test: press volume down and power. Wait for 10 seconds. Press volume down. Press power. Phone should vibrate. Wait 20 seconds. Phone should now be in recovery mode.)
4. Can get into fastboot (back+power)
5. No goldcard
CAUSE of MY ISSUE:
I had Aura Sense7.9+AlphaRev S-Off. Cause::Ran a very old RUU just because I wanted to bring things back to stock. The RUU overwrote my HBOOT from 0.93 to god knows what. Turned out, the RUU was for amoled screens and not for SLCD screen. So even though the phone turned on, the screen never did.
SOLUTION:
1. Make sure you have HTC Sync drivers installed. Install HTC Sync and then just remove the application and not the drivers. I also installed the unrevoked hboot drivers. Do the same.
2. Get Android SDK http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
3. Check that your phone is recognized in recovery and fastboot by your system once drivers are installed -- once you install the drivers, boot into recovery (point 3 of issue -- you should hear beeps in win7 signalling a device connection). Open android_sdk/tool directory in command line and type 'adb devices'. Your device should come up. Similarly take phone into fastboot, and then in command line type 'fastboot devices' your phone should come up.
4.Switch off phone after test. Next, take phone into recovery mode and create gold card. Follow http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/ or use the Gold Card Tool . The last part of the Gold Card Tool (Patch MMC) didn't work for me so I used the hex editor manually. Make sure you start with the SD Card that came with your phone. I tried 2 cards and it didn't work. Just the SD Card with the phone did!
5. After gold card is made, download 'RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed' RUU from shipped-roms. This is the latest RUU that I could find for SLCD screen.
6. Run RUU and if your gold card is correct, you should sail right through. and be greeted by a working Desire.
Phew!
Thanks goes to:

I'm not able to get into recovery. I just get to the bootloader -- I know this just because i can feel it vibrate once. volume down/power doesn't do anything. fastboot works because i can see it using adk. Screen doesn't come on at all so can't see whats going on.

How do I make a goldcard at this stage? I can get into the adb shell but can't mount the sdcard in any way. mount /sdcard just throws up errors. Are all goldcards the same -- a goldcard made on one desire can run on another? (I might be wrong but I think not)...
really screwed aren't i?
When you plug in the phone to the comp is it still visible in the "hardware section" ??

When I plug in the phone, I get it as HTC Bootloader in Win7 hardware section...so yes, it is visible.
What do I need to uninstall the sync part but leave the driver for -- to mount /sdcard?

And therein lies the mystery...i can't find it. i've gone through 100s of posts yesterday and tried flashing around 7 WWE and Asia roms, none of them work -- signatures just don't match!
i knew I should've created a goldcard!! since HBOOT has been overwritten and I can still erase system, data, and recovery using fastboot, should I just send it for service --- it is still under warranty... anyway of knowing if it's been HTCized again?
What software version was it on when you got it? This should be made clear before rooting to ALWAYS make a note of it so you can go back to stock if needed...without that you can try and send it to HTC but they may just turn around and say 'you rooted it, tough' and send it back
it was on 2.1 and upgraded it to 2.2 ota the day i got it.
i know.should've paid more attention and even created a goldcard for safe measure, but this is where I am at the moment
just wish things hadn't turned this bad...there's ought to be something else that I can do
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
http://www.shadowchild.nl/rom210.zip
Ok. step by step.
Download de android SDK from here: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
Unzip it to a place where you can easely find it back.
Download also http://www.shadowchild.nl/rom210.zip , no need to unzip this, just place it in the map "tools"in the unzipped file.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the map 'tools' from the unzipped file.
That is in "CMD".
1. get your microsd card out of the phone.
2. turn the phone onin FASTBOOT mode, press the "back"button (on the right-underside of your phone) and the power button at the same time..
3. Typ in je commandprompt:
code:
1 fastboot erase cache (enter)
2 fastboot oem rebootRUU (enter)
3 fastboot flash zip rom210.zip (enter)
maybe you get a HBOOT pre-update 'error', repeat immedeatly the last command.
when this is finnished (you got now HTC ROM 2.10, not rooted) - the progressbar is then full:
fastboot reboot
You should no have a clean HTC romand can put back your sd card
make sure that there is no more 'PB99IMG.zip' file on the sd-card.
If you go to "start" on the computer an d type "HTC" you will find the HTC sync and two seperate uninstall files.
Just uninstall htc sync and leave the driver.
You will need this otherwise the phone will not be detected in the hardwaresection.
I have had the same problem and a guy on a dutch forum showed me the way and it worked again.
So, plug in the phone, turn it on with "back" and "power" ( not the volume-buttons)
Press "start" on the computer and type "CMD".
navigate to the map "tools" by entering cd (name of the map where you placed it)
Good luck.

Any help is appreciated.
oh wow. so you cannot manipulate your power button at all? no tweaking or pushing in with something else (is the button still there or did it break off?
warning -- do not do this -- im just trying to be helpful but I am probably not.... dont do this on my account.
well im looking in TJWorld... please dont do this without a real dev taking a look at this
http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/Vision/BootProcess#FastBootRestart (Chain Operating System down 1/4 of the way)
in so many words connect serial-usb-to control Hboot (need linux host)
screen /dev/ttyUSBO
press enter till you see "hboot"
and then basically I guess just like in GOTO language
gotofastboot
or
gotohboot
and then theres OEM Reboot Codes
-reboot=oem-1F Regular reboot
--reboot=oem-42 HBoot menu
--reboot=oem-74 In some indeterminate state, for all intents and purposes powered off or just plain dead
--reboot=oem-76 Wipe data and cache (factory reset) Amber and Green LEDs flash whilst it is doing it, then the device reboots
--reboot=oem-78 ??
I hope this helps at all..
The buttons there, you can press it as hard as you want but nothing. Just no response
I have this exact problem!! It's been sitting in my room collecting dust. If anyone can find a fix.. a cup of coffee on me!
My power button is also in perfect condition, I've compared it to another G2 and the button's "press feel" is exactly the same.
why dont you just remap the keyboard and map the camera button as power
^^ i thought the power button combo is not remappable....
and that Its only mapped within android not for the default system combos
Do you have CWM? If so, the phone should turn on when it is plugged into a power source.
^^ Do have CWM, problem is not the phone turning on... the problem is I have no usable power key to follow the guide to unroot and put a stock rom on so i can send it in for warranty.
Using keyboard I can turn on the screen so thats do-able... but restoring to stock + removing root is what I'm trying to ultimately achieve.
i think theres an app thts called quick boot maybe tht could help...
Could you not flash the zip file from within rom manager. By selecting install rom from SD Card, you avoid needing to use powerbutton to get into bootloader. Correct me if you cant do this.
I tried flashing from CWM and error... rom manager didn't reboot it to CWM to flash, so not sure what to do.
This is what I have tried --
PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip
on hex editor the version is 1.19.531.1, and it already was so i didn't need to change it. But when i try putting that zip through cwm it doesn't work.
I've tried adb reboot bootloader , but it doesn't scan for PC10IMG which i downloaded from the guides....

Which version CWM have you got on there? If its 3.0 I dont think you can flash a froyo rom with that. You would have to install an earlier version.
You can remap the power button with the button remapper app it cost 1.04$ it works fine for me even if you turn off your phone u can use camera button to turn it on, I got the app for free if u dnt want to spend but I cannot post the apk I'm using my phone right now just search it on google beansoft button remapper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11021708#post11021708
My posted app.. hope this helps
i don't think remapping keys will work. It's a hardcoded thing the power+volume key during boot. What i don't get is the fact that hboot doesn't find the file. did you rename it to PC10IMG.zip?
thats the only filename hboot understands as an update or new rom. (Be shure to follow the original guide)
edit: tried myselve.. it doesn't go to hboot does it.. you have to select with powerkey
how can we just make the phone crash? to leave no trace of root or anything of the sort.
Possible solution
Hi !
While I am still thinking about a solution how you could boot into hboot (by using adb reboot bootloader you boot into fastboot mode and not hboot mode) the following might be a solution.
I can not test it because I don't have windows but this is what might work:
1. You need windows and you need the USB drivers from HTC Sync (You can get that here http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=325&act=sd&cat=all
2. You need a Desire Z RUU:
You can get one from here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
Select any WWE I would probably use RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.22.405.1_Radio_12.26.60.1301_26.02.00.24_M2_release_151197_signed.exe
3. You need the G2 Stock ROM zip, i.e PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip
The procedure is the following:
1. Install the HTC Sync so that you have the USB Drivers installed
2. Start the RUU and let it do it's job until the Welcome Screen apears.
At this moment you should have a directory in C:\C:\Documents and Settings\<your user>\Local Settings\Temp\{some-CLSID}\{another-CLSID} that contains a file called rom.zip.
Delete this file and copy the PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip to the directory and rename it to rom.zip
3. Connect you phone to the USB and on the welcome screen check the checkbox and continue.
If I am right the RUU should update your phone using the G2 rom.
As said, I am blind driving cause I ain't got Windows but this might work.
have fun Guhl

Well there is an option if you do have the engineering hboot installed.
DO NOT TRY THIS BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECOVERY FROM THIS BRICK
1. boot the phone into fastboot mode by using
Code:
adb boot bootloader
2. use fastboot do completely erase the emmc
Code:
fastboot oem fdisk_emmc
After this the phone will be completely erased and will not even know that it is a phone anymore. You can send it in and have it replaced and no one will ever know how your phone got bricked like this
And again: There is no way to recover from this state !!!

So.. I spent 4 hours yesterday reading and trying to downgrade my Desire HD, only to find at the very last bit that I couldn't downgrade to the ROM as my volume up button is broken (I knew this before, but thought I could navigate the boot settings with only volume down). The volume up button is broken at a hardware level, taking the button off and pressing the small 'actual' button doesn't work either..
So my question is, can I press 'yes update' which requires the volume up button.. Without the volume up button? Is there anyway to fake a volume up keypress from ADB at bootloader?
Hmmm....I don't think you can.
What I suggest is to download any RUU for the Desire HD. Once downloaded run the .exe file and wait for it to start. When you get to the screen to proceed, stop.
Search your computer for a file called "rom.zip" find this file and delete it, running the .exe extracts it from the RUU, it should be in a temp directory. Take the PD98IMG.zip you are trying to flash in bootloader and copy into the same folder the "rom.zip" was. Also rename it to "rom.zip" Proceed with the RUU flashing.
You may need to perform this step in the sequence that the Guide you are following says flash PD98IMG. Let me know if this works.
Thanks Andy. Yeah that might work, but then I'm stuck at trying to install the custom roms I presume as theres going to a similar process?
I'll just go through the guides again and look deeply into the steps to see if I'll run into this again! I don't want to get so far, realise I need it then have a non-working phone , as I'm a app developer that would mean having spend my days counting my toes waiting for the emulator!
Sigh, maybe I'll just ship it off to HTC with a note 'fix it!!!' as it's just stopped without anything happening to the phone
Once you have installed a custom recovery you can navigate with the soft keys on the front. So the volume button becomes defunct.
You can even use adb to get into recovery, bootloader & fastboot. Further saving on your volume button usage.
e.g
Code:
adb reboot [B]<insert desired function>[/B]
At least that what I think I did, that's probably why I don't have service.
I need to flash the phone back to what it was except I am not 100% sure.
Any ideas? The phone has S-Off already and has a custom recovery.
Well.... I bricked it... ;/ Tried to install stock RUU through HBOOT and it ... well bricked. I just get 3 Vibrations.
I am following this guide to un brick it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14831391&postcount=9
But I am a little confuse where it says
"Hold Vol down + power. you will feel 5 vibrations"
I only feel 3 vibrations. Is that normal?
First things first.....you simply CANNOT change your A510c to an A510e...
You just flashed a rom meant for the A510e and other GSM models
Second,your phone is in qualcomm diagnostics mode.......and you are following the correct guide.....Use the "rom.zip" from the RUU or your carrier(latest one if possible)
Rename it to "PG76IMG.zip" without quotes in the root of your SDcard(no folders directly in the SDcard) and then try to power up your phone holding the Volume+ button,and then pray to God that it works

first of all what ever vibrations it made get it awake any how even black sceen or white.
Now download adb sdk.
download ur own rom.zip and extract the whole folder to Adb folder.
Run these commands..assuming u have kept ur adb folder in c: .
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
"fastboot flash system system.img" .
now remove the battery and try to get inside bootloader.
and do a factory reset.
You will get ur sweety live.
I know the feeling! You're all excited because you just unlocked your One V's bootloader, flashed a recovery, and flashed a steamin' hot new ROM. You boot up for the first time and get ecstatic, the tension building as you put in your Gmail info. You finish the start up but OH NO!!! Your phone reboots! You blame yourself... you blame your cat... you blame your wife... you blame the war in the Middle East. You think, I must've done something wrong! Stupid, stupid, stupid! Don't fret! Take my experience with this quite seriously (despite the jokes). For 2 weeks, I retraced my steps and tried EVERYTHING! I thought it was just the ROM's problem, so I flashed one after another to the same end. Finally, I decided to post a new thread asking for help. Nothing became of the first thread, so I posted a second one. To my great relief, along trotted Curiousn00b. After shoving me in the correct direction, I figured out the rest. A big thanks by the way, Curiousn00b! The following is the method that I used to get my phone to finally run a ROM. Also, a thanks to CafeKampuchia for the quoted directions below.
A few things to make sure you have:
Windows (with Administrator's priveleges)
Fastboot installed and working
Your phone (duh!)
A USB cable
Time and patience
The following quote is from CafeKampuchia's thread over here.
Solution #1
CafeKampuchia said:
Here we go:
1. Download the correct RUU for your device from Football's Primo Shipped ROM Collection.
2. Charge the battery above 50% or for at least one hour. If the battery dies during the flashing process, you could hard brick the phone!
3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.
4. Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT/B] using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
5. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
6. Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thus far you should have the stock recovery back and be bootlocked again. Now, back in fastboot mode, you should already be connected to your computer via USB (if you disconnected, just reconnect it and wait for "FASTBOOT" to change to "FASTBOOT USB")
Run this command:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Next, start up the RUU program again and let it run through without interruption. After this process is done, the phone should boot up to the stock ROM. Let it do its thing, but this time don't do the OTA update. From here, just unlock the bootloader again, install your recovery of choice, and install your ROM of choice or reroot the stock ROM (I know some want to keep it stock).
As also pointed out by RoyalYeo, you can let HBOOT take care of the problem:
Solution #2
My hunch was correct, the .0928 Radio was causing the bootloop... I managed to flash the 521_2 radio, and now the Sick kernel is working and AOKP JB runs great.
Steps (on windoze):
1) Download the RUU
2) Run the .exe, wait for it to open the first wizard screen.
3) Open a file explorer in c:\users\yourname\AppData\Local\Temp\New_Directory _With_Some_Hexadecimal_name
4) Locate `rom.zip`, copy to the root directory of your sd card, and rename it to PK76IMG.zip
5) Reboot to bootloader, connect usb, and `fastboot oem lock` in cmd shell, at which point it'll reboot
6) Get back to HBOOT, wait for it to notice PK76IMG, confirm, make a pot of coffee, check back in 5-10 minutes.
7) After reboot, phone should now show a 1.00.00.521_2 radio... re-unlock the bootloader in fastboot, re-flash TWRP or whatever, and you should be good to go.
Lemme know if you get it working...

My personal solution (Solution #1) is the more technical side of things and also exposes you to the nitty-gritty. Having said this, #1 is quite touchy because if you do something wrong, there is a good chance that you could... well uh, brick your phone to be quite honest. On the other hand, #1 requires no SD card (given the event that your SD card won't mount, your SD reader is broken, or you just plain don't have an SD card). Ultimately, the choice is up to you.
A note for Mods: I'm not sure if this technically falls under Development or Q&A (or both). If it can stay here in Development, I'll also post a thread in Q&A.
hello there,
So i've followed these instructions and I still get a bootloop... Occasionally when i flashed the MIUI.us rom it will get up to the start out screen... then restart... and do it repeatedly... but at the current moment... it's simply bootlooping on the MIUI logo. I've ran RUU approximately 20 times on this phone... i've tried different SD cards because something is recently they have been randomly disconnecting and not showing up... i Plugged my phone in and set it to Disk Drive mode, wrote files to it... and when i check on my phone... all the files are gone except for the original.. so i preceded to take the card out plug it into my computer and format there... i do that... and all the files show back up when i plug into my phone... ALL the original files that i just formatted... i don't know what steps to take next to get any of it working. I've tried flashing sick kernel and the MIUI rom and still nothing has worked... any assistence would be greatly appreciated, I'm tired of resetting my phone EVERY time i try and flash a new rom
I have a thread here but Everything i have tried there has failed to work but you could use some of the info from there to possibly diagnose?
