Hi y'all
I've tried unlocking my SX56/XDA from ATT and all went well using the XDAUnlocker tools and roms etc...., but.....
while 'flashing' the rom my pc crashed and rebooted. now my sx56 is stuck in the 'upgrading; will only take 5 minutes' screen. I've tried a hard reset and that don't work. I can't even get the phone connected with activesynch
Can anybody help me please??
Thx; a newbie
Update
Just sat here and browsed the forum for any possible help regarding my problem; there is a solution I'm going to try out.
Flash the rom (build w/ lumpistefan rom kitchen) via bootloader with SD card; now all I need is to buy a SD/MMC cardwriter and I'm on my way.......
Will let you guys know what happens because I've found more peeps with the same prolem.
Oh a quick note: I've bootloader 5.22 and it does recognize a new rom when inserting a SD card with rom; it will ask you to format or download....... Well here goes nothing
L8R
As long as you can get to bootloader it should be fine for sd flashing.
All worked fine
Ok all worked fine; i'll include a step by step (found here ain the forum and will give credits to it) later. i'm kinda in a hurry....... When i upgrade from pc02 to wm03 will i loose all data? if i backup and try to reload data it will not except it?
Please thank these people
I fixed my sx56 with help from these guys after searching and searching
please thank these guys for the solution because all credits go to them.

Hi guys.
I have done some searching but cant quite find out a full answer or a link to the rom download. I want to update my Desire to Froyo now and am not bothered about the branding of Virgin Mobile etc. Can someone point me in the direction of a guide of how to do this or explain it for me. At this point my desire is rooted and I have a gold card but I cant find the right rom and dont know if I need a new radio for it to work.
Any help much appreciated.
James
Can't you just debrand and install the update? The update will update your radio (I think).
Hi again. Thanks for the reply mate and yes you are correct I can. Problem was I didn't know how to do it as I couldn't find info on a rooted and branded phone.
Anyway just for anyone else that needs to know I did mine by creating a gold card. I dont know if this was an important part to do but you may as well as its very easy but will wipe you SD Card so backup anything you need.
I then debranded to this ROM
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
this one would not upgrade and came back with an error when trying to install the Froyo update.
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
The process of debranding is easy and done by just running the file you download with the phone connected. Some things to check though are that you have HTC Sync and the ADK installed so you get all the drivers and reboot your PC. The ROM File you run when downloaded will guide you through the steps but mine would not detect the phone after it rebooted the phone to bootloader mode. To get round this I left the phone connected and restarted the ROM Install program and all went well.
This gives you a Debranded phone and all that remains is to upgrade to Froyo via the SD Card.
|Here are the instructions I followed:
Steps to install Froyo on HTC Desire
Step 1: Download the Android 2.2 firmware for the Desire (I got mine here http://hotfile.com/dl/58947725/9565...8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip.html)
Step 2: Rename the file update.zip and copy it to your microSD card via USB. [Note: make sure the file is named update.zip and not update.zip.zip.]
Step 3: Power down your Desire.
Step 4: Hold down the “Volume Down” button as you power the phone back on.
Step 5: A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. Scroll down to “recovery” and press the “Power” button.
Step 6: When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the “Power” and “Volume Up” buttons at the same time.
Step 7: From the menu that appears, select “Apply sdcard:update.zip.”
Step 8: When the screen displays “Install from sdcard complete” select “reboot system now” and wait for the phone to power back up.

Hi james, i too have a VM desire and want to install froyo. which of the above roms work for doing the froyo update as your post is unclear which allows you to upgrade???
also when you did the unbrand and update did you lose all your apps and settings(data and text etc) and how are you finding froyo, is it improved on the VM branded software??
thanks in advance....
hi mate you are right it is unclear! The top ROM RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed is the one that worked. The other i tried first and gave me an error.
If you do as I did you will lose all apps, data and settings.
Froyo is defo worth the upgrade just for the 720 recording. it is also quicker but this is not as noticiable on a phone like the desire.
If you fancy going for it just make sure you have an apk file for all your apps and my advice is to make google you contact manager as i wiped my phone and it came back with all my contact and contact photos just by entering my google account. if you have any probs just pm me and if i can help i will.
good luck
james
Thanks for the fast reply James, already got that ROM and goldcard ready to go , going to try update tomorrow, used mybackup pro to backup my apps and settings, i want froyo for installing apps on sd card but have been reading mixed reviews over signal and wifi dropping out, going to give it a go anyhow, will let you know how i get on , thanks again for the info....
i have no wifi or network issues YET lol
btw the phone sorts out all the apn's and messaging numbers automatically so you dont need to worry. well i didn't on my phone. i havent entered any setting manually it did it all auto
Hi again james, none of those roms you posted would work for me , keep getting errors when trying to debrand.
i have now rooted my phone using unrevoked3 and i am looking for the best way to get froyo, either rooted rom or getting the stock rom....
still reading forums and getting sore eyes...
any help appreciated...
thanks again..
Anyone that can help me with this one, can be my new bestfriend
After getting really really depressed over being on the Official HTC Sense ROM with my Desire, I decided to change to the Starburst ROM. As the new Unrevoked doesn't work with the latest official build of Froyo from HTC I always, always use this when I want to downgrade and root, to install new roms.
Normally, I will use the utility as indicated, everything will go smoothly, Eclair 2.1 will install, however normally my phone will be locked, and I will have to remove my SIM, update to 2.2, my phone will become Unlocked after updating, and I will root. However this time, when the utility copied a misc_partition or something like that to my SD Card, it came up with a load of write errors, saying there wasn't enough room on my SD Card, which I know is wrong as there is well above 6GB on there, and it's a Goldcard. One advantage of the utility is, if anything goes wrong you can press CRTL-C and the utility will stop with no changes made to your phone, however in my case this wasn't so. I stopped the utility, thinking if I continued due to the write error I would encounter some more errors, and I decided to do a complete wipe of my phone using the on-board Factory Reset in the Setting's menu. After doing this, I started to encounter some problems.
First of all, when the phone enters the setup wizard, it says I have 4 bars of signal, and a 3G connection. After around 15 seconds of being in the Wizard, I will suddenly loose all mobile connection. After completing the setup wizard, I will be prompted by a notice telling me I need to Insert an SD Card. Well my card is in there, and I know its working because after these problems I put it into my brothers phone, and formatted it, and it showed up as working just fine. If an LG POP can mount my phone, surely a frigging HTC Desire can?
I have noticed that if I remove my SD Card, then the problems with the Network will go away and I will be able to connect, however sometimes when I boot it my phone will connect to the Network for about 5 minutes with the SD inserted, then return back to Limited Service. *I have attached a picture of what I am seeing.* This is really annoying me, I am going to download the Froyo 2.2 ROM from Shipped-Roms as the SD Card seems to mount fine in HBoot. Please though, can anyone help me. Thanks.
*This is starting to become very annoying now, I have been working on this for several hours now, and I still have no fix or nothing. I can't exactly be patient and I don't mean to sound like a tech addict, but my world revolves around my phone, I use it for business ect. When I connect my phone to my computer, I get a message saying 'Install Drivers For Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' I have heard of CDMA before, but I don't think my phone is CDMA? My phone was originally branded Orange in the UK? Anyone that can help, just please please help me!
Hi, sorry I can't help with your problem as it seems too complicated to me (noob here) but reading what you wrote sort of alarmed me as I've been reading/watching videos on rooting and I thought that unrevoked (latest version) worked on any desire. It says so on the unrevoked site but you wrote you can't do it on yours because of new build of froyo.
Don't understand that, I'm on vodafone and asked advice to a few people about rooting and nobody told that I couldn't use unrevoked. Are you sure you can't use it. How about you do a factory reset and reflash rom and see how it goes. I do hope you're wrong about unrevoked though as I'm about to use it any day now (building up the courage...) Hope you get your problem solved.
well try to reinstall whole software via pc ...............
but check download latest version of official rom
back up your data as ur whole system sofware will be replaced
and do format ur sd in pc ( not a quick format )
hopefully it might resolve ur issues ( otherwise it seems a hardware issue >>>>>)
and i am not responsible for any sim locking or data loss sort of problems

Basically on the latest Froyo build from HTC (2.29.405.5) if you use Unrevoked, everything will go fine until it boots out of the bootloader to the actual software. On reboot Unrevoked will say 'Waiting for system to Settle'. This will never dissappear and it will wait for the system to settle forever and ever. However becuase you are branded on Vodafone, the chances are you're not running Froyo build 2.29.405.5, but a slightly older one. This is because when HTC release an update the phone companies have to put their software onto it, the the 2.29.405.5 update was only 5Mb, barely enough for the companies to be even bothered messing around with, so chances are you WOULD be able to root anyway, thanks for commenting.

Oh I know about data loss, Sim Locking and all that, been there, done that, got the T-Shirt, I've got a Utility on my computer that will unlock my phone and as for Data Loss, Google servers have it all
I've got a bit of an update though, I know your saying it's a hardware error but I think there are two key components here that aren't working.
- The SD Card
- The SIM Card
I have come to believe this, because I managed to use the PB99IMG file to update to the latest Froyo, and now my phone is saying there is an SD in there, but stats about the SD are unavailable in my phone, and also when trying to connect to the network, my phone will not connect to Orange. If I click on Manually Select, and I click on Orange, I get a message saying SIM won't allow connection to this network, if I do it with Automatic however, it just says unable to connect to the network at this time. I'm gutted I haven't been able to fix this yet, it's really annoying me because normally I would be able to sort this, been up all night trying to do it, any help is greatly appreciated.
2.29.405.5 roots absolute fine with unrEVOked - if it didn't I wouldn't be rooted!!

Possibly a problem with my Device or HBoot? Could anyone point me to the correct RRU for me to reset my phone with? I am running the latest software version with a goldcard, the card won't mount when the phone is turned on, thanks.
This is for the 2.29.405.5 RUU

Really appreciate it mate, thankyou
*Update, I flashed this RRU, it's not working though :/
When you say not working what do you mean? More info needed!
Also, edit the 'Qualcom CDAM' thingy, that means its trying to install modem drivers - sounds you USB-bricked the phone

Yeah it won't connect in any way USB wise, and when IS ay not working, the OS works fine, connects to the network for the first 5 minutes, SD card won't mount, then after 5 minutes I get locked out of the network, and if I try and connect I get a message saying my sim won't allow connection to Orange :/ Think you can help?
Yes, this is another HTC Desire bricked thread.
Also very yes, I've read a plethora of what I considered similar threads, on this forum and others.
THE HARDWARE:
Us Cellular Branded HTC Desire.
THE PROBLEM:
I rooted the phone without problems. I then attempted to flash several (read: a dozen or so) different ROMS following tutorials to the letter. Most were Froyo ROMS with Sense UI. I like HTC Sense.
So, after trying dozens of different ROMs, none of them gets past the white boot screen with green "htc" text. Sometimes the phone would auto reboot a few times and then shatter my hopes by getting stuck again, and again... and again.
WHAT I HAS DONE:
After proving the cake was no lie, I created a gold card. I then followed some nice instructions about using previously mentioned card to flash non-branded ROMs. After I mopped up my tears of rage and frustration from all these ROMS still getting stuck on the same white boot screen, I wrote this post.
Also, I went in to my local us cellular store (I know the tech who works there) hoping he could do me a favor.. but since the phone was rooted (yes i know i'm an idiot for trying) he could do no such thing.
Also, I tried downloading .exe (RUU files?) that set up a wizard on my pc to fix my desire but they couldn't connect to my device... connection error message kept coming up.
I am willing to crawl up a temple on my knees for penitence if need be to get this fixed. But please don't *only* send a few links to "similar" threads...
Sounds like an usb brick. Follow this guide to repair:

If finished, try to unroot your phone by flashing fitting ruu again.
Btw, a question: which hardwarerevision does your desire have? You find this out, when you boot into hboot and read the number behind the word pvt (first line). Another question: which recovery system do you have?
No warranty for any damage!
Sry for the post, Mat was quicker
The hard part is finding a fitting RUU... since the US Cellular brand does not seem to be popular.
I *FINALLY* got a RUU to flash via fast bootusb.... and it looks like i am in the clear... as far as that goes.
We shall see how this works out.
Thank you (I hit thanks button too)

Good luck!
If flashing of the US cellular rom fixes it then odds are the goldcard did not work. Goldcards can be temperamental to setup and keep setup correctly.
If you repartition you need to set it up again. I have had a lot of annoyances due to this on my phone.
Thanks all
Everything works great... save for my SD card (which was a gold card). I ended up formatting it with my pc, then reinserting and everything seems fine.
