Hello,
Sorry for my bad english, I'm french.
So, yesterday, my brother send a SMS and after the phone reboot. And now, it did'nt past the HTC logo. This desire is not rooted, and is S-ON.
Have you some solution for my probleme ?
thank a lot.
PS : I've access to the fastboot mode.
If you don't find a solution then try a hard reset of the desire.

What's a hard reset ?
It's method that consist to push power button when I remove the battery ?
It's if that, i try it and my desire still block. But, it's possible that I have not done well
Edit : If is the clear Storage option in bootloader I always try it
Google for htc desire hard reset, it involves clear storage
Yes, I try it but on reboot it's still block on HTC logo

I see.. the other way is to run RUU but you need to have the right RUU.
Maybe someone else have a better idea.
I try to flash a custom recovery.
So I try this :
fastboot.exe boot clockworkmod.img
Downloading : boot.img OKAY
booting : failed ... (remote: not allowed)
So i want to try with a update.zip. But i don't know the command for that.
I try :
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork.zip
sending recovery OKAY
writing recovery .... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote : signature verify fail)
Have you idea for resolved this problem ?
Read bortak troubleshooting guide part 2 : stucked on splash screen with s-on. You'll need a goldcard, coz you can't flash recovery with s-on.

sorry, I had not seen following.
So, if i've understand well. I need a readercard on my computer ? but I've not it.
And this program give me a black console.
I continued to test.
I thank you for helping me !
Edit :
Have idea with another androphone. can I create goldcart with another phone ?
If you don't care about having that particular phone you could as well send it in for warranty reasons. As you said it's unmodified, that should be no problem.

All greetings. I from Russia and English know only at the school level and I apologize for my mistakes in this post. But at Russian specialized forum on android phones to me haven't helped.
I haveHTC desire from T-mobile, has been made root, s-off and stood firmware LeeDroid on base an android 2.2. Suddenly without any reasons phone began to be overloaded spontaneously and after reboot bootinf stop on a picture where there should be logo HTC (at me was logo s-off), could come only in bootloader, in recovery didn't come. I began to try in a mode fastboot to be stitched through EXE firmwires , but everything that tried gave out an error 131 (are incorrect id. Number). Then in bootloader I have pressed to restore factory options, but the problem hasn't dared, now phone already hung on pictures with logo HTC instead of on logo S-OFF. I again began try to put firmwires, and firmwire RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4 has started to be stitched, but has taken off with an error 140, since It was impossible to be sewed on lower version, I didn't know it, after that on phone the screen doesn't join, but at inclusion vibration is and in the dispatcher of devices at connection the device is defined as My HTC and if to include with the clamped arrow downwards and the inclusion button it is defined, how bootloader interface. Further I tried to make something through ADB, but fastboot works strange because at me it has turned out to execute only a command fastboot reboot, but despite it in the list of the connected devices (fastboot devices, shell) phone isn't displayed
fastboot-w - it is not carried out with the reason/data allowed
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - it is not carried out, because can't pass check of signatures (the version different)
fastboot update update.zip - writes:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot update update.zip
Whoops: didn't find expexted signature
read_central_directory_entry failed
error:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\
I don't know what else commands to try. I think some more variants which can help me:
1. As I understand now at me the screen brick, I have found the instruction on treatment of it but that it it is necessary to cure goldcard, at me it isn't present and to receive it it is necessary to include phone, it isn't started. Please, if somebody else has a device from T-Mobile, can send CID? Or prompt what insertion to me now
2. Probably insertion approaching my phone, will rescue it. After all my interactions by phone, now on it an official insertion from t-mobajl 2.12.110.2. What insertion to try me to establish (it is better exe)?
3. I very much hope for your councils and the help.
Very much I want to restore a working condition of my phone. All in advance thanks.
You need gold card. It is specific for memory card. Put your card in another android phone and generate cid.
Or else flash a tmob ruu with version no equal to or higher than the current version

I'm not sure that I understood you..
Any android phone that can read your memory card should be fine. Once you generate the cid of the card, delete all partitions on it, format it, and then follow the steps for a gold card creation.
Once you make a gold card, you will be able to install the latest wwe ruu. That should solve your previous issue.
Later if you wish to flash the old ruu, you can run teppic74's downgrade tool and then run any tmo ruu.

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my HTC desire.
I was running Leedroid for more than 6 months and everything was fine.
Yesterday morning, my phone went battery-dead and then when I started it plugin-in to the power socket it turned on and got stuck at the HTC screen.
I can enter bootloader (I guess ?) by pressing power + back but then I don't know what to do (I have a white screen with several menus I can browse with vol up/down) ?
I also tried going with a RUU (RUU MoDaCo Version: 1.15.405.4) and it does detect my phone but won't finish.
Is there anything I can do ?

No idea, it doesn't say.
I believe my phone is soft bricked, I can access hboot and fastbood so i'm pretty sure I can do something about it.
I read something about a unbrick thing you could launch from fastboot ? But can't find it.

Try to flash this ruu:

Boot phone in fastboot mode and follow instructions on the screen. Does it give you any errors?
Everything goes well, it does the sending part then gets stuck at signature update:

FYI I tried to create a gold card but adb devices doesn't return anything so I don't know if I can create a goldcard.

Adb will run only if adb debugging is allowed, so Booted state or recovery state. In fastboot mode, only Fastboot will run. Have you overwritten recovery yet? If not, you flash another rom. If yes, are you S-Off? If so, you can flash an Hboot/recovery in Fastboot mode

You cant flash custom roms from fastboot
You can flash recovery, and each of the .img files included in the Clockworkmod backup folder, but only if you're S-off. Apparently you're S-On (Security on. For S-off, Alpharev should have been used)..
Were you foresighted enough to make a gold card? If you hadnt, you have to find the RUU you successfully flashed last, or the RUU corresponding to the region of your device and brand.

Making a goldcard is the solution. And you can get the CID from any Android phone.
You definitely need to create a gold card. To create a goldcard see this: http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/ho...th-ubuntu.html
It is in unbutu, but maybe you can sort it out. Have a look.
OK I now have a goldcard: took a friends phone (same phone, same carrier) and put my sdcard in there and used modaco's tool.
Now the next step is to install a valid RUU for my region, right ?
If I do so it seems to go past the last error but gets stuck at
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
Thanks
Hello ! I tried using a different RUU (the one suggested bu MatDroid: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed) and it has -almost- worked !
The update went until the end but now my phone boots and reboots after a couple of seconds (not fixed: sometimes I can go to unlock my simcard, sometimes a bit longer ...)
I'm getting desperate everytime I think I'm making advance there something new.
Now what ? I'm gone back to the original state: frozen on HTC screen
I tried re-running the RUU (this time the latest I could find: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe)
Everything goes well, it says it is successful but then it reboots and gets stuck with HTC screen
Hey guys, went to the bootloader and erased all data. This time for some reason it rebooted fine and now the phone seems to be working.
Now I would like to have some advice:
- What can I do so in the future I have all I need for recovering ?
- I already have a goldcard
- what about the recovery ? Should I install something ?
- I liked leedroid, so thinking of going back to 2.5 what do you think?
Thanks for your help you re the best !
EDIT: well I thought it was working but here I am again. Reboot after reboot. This time the first one happened after 15 solid minutes and now it reboots every 30 seconds I barely have the time to enter my pincode ...
Anyone has an idea ?
I've found a way to stabilize my phone, which is by not putting my SIMcard in, but not sure how long it's gonna take before the next reboot.
I don't know what to do. Was thinking in downgrading using teppic74 tool but everytime I download it I get an error: corrupted file.
Can't see the end of it.
Guys, in the end I re-did the whole process: use RUU then delite data in the recovery and it seems to work.
I guess those RUU don't always work fine the first time.
Thanks to you all for your help
Good Afternoon everyone,
Here once again. I have been having lots of problems recently with my phone memory getting low, crashes freezing, un-expected reboots etc. I have been using the same rom for a few months and was fine at first but just broke down. So I went into recovery and did a wipe now when powered on for the first time it doesnt get past boot animation just stay on the screen no matter how many reboots or further wipes. I also got a brand new 32GB Micro SD card for xmas that I haven't used yet so my idea was to get a new cool rom and use the SD card
First of all which rom. Now I know people say try different roms and see which you like but so many roms I dont know what to go for and was wondering for some advice. My requirements are that it is not ICS version as I get a phone upgrade on contract in July and want to leave ICS for a new phone so Gingerbread it is.
Now the rom requirements are:
> HTC Sense, prefferably a latest 3D version but if it doesn't work or very laggy then no.
> Camera needs to be fully working
> USB Tethering
> As much as possible on the SD card to save phone space
> Dont need super battery life but at least something that lasts a day and doesnt drain it
> Music Working nicely
> Not too buggy and fairly stable
Now secondly I still have not got myself familiar with Android flashing etc. If I want to start again from scratch new memory card does anyone know the steps. Is there any plain step by step instructions out there that tells me completly what I need to do as I can get confused quite easily.
Thanks in advance for any responses,
Regards,
Max
For this moment(in my opinion) this is the one from the best ROM for HTC Desire...including everything what you questing...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315961
Thanks. I was already interested in this rom and you saying that has swayed by boat. The next problem is how to go about it. the first steps appears to be installing EXT4 Recovery but its an APK and they are installed with the phone botted up normally correct? My phone isnt booting only in Recovery Mode which is the clockwork mod (from about 8 months ago)
4ext has an app to download its recovery. If you are s-off, the app will flash the recovery img.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Ok I beleive I do have S-OFF from previous flashing however I can no longer boot the rom up so what do I do?
I can boot into recovery mode but as soon as I boot normally it just sits on the boot animation completly animated but never going further (left it for 3 hours until battery died) also tried wiping about 5 times after a wipe and I just cannot get it on. So what do I do?
I'll upload it for you (from my sd card).
If you are s-off, you can fastboot flash it (see link to my guides for info on fastboot flash - Forget adb, not relevant...)
Thanks but I am a little confused as to what I am doing.
Is there any step by step?
i have the 4EXT now not installed yet. What about HBOOT, radio rom I have no idea what I am doing in what order now due to my phone not botting :-(
If you don't have 4EXT recovery-reboot phone normally, install this app and update you're recovery from the list...
But if you read above I cannot boot my phone normally!
1.update the recovery(like i say)
2.change the hboot:downolad file PB99IMG.zip, put it on your sdcard, then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash(update) the HBOOT.
3.Restart phone in recovery,perform full wipe(format all partition without FAT32)
4.Download file with ROM, put into your SDCARD and reflash...
I am sorry not having much luck. I have put both the EXT4 recoevry zip and the pb99img zip on my memory card rebooted into the boot loader with vol down went into the fastboot option and the only options there are bootloader (takes me back to main screen) reboot, reboot bootloader and power down.
I am so lsot and need my phone working again :-(

Thanks for the response even if it was a tad harsh. I only posted as I could not find the answers i need so you sent me off searching again? I have been reading around and still do not know why the CID error occurred and still do not know if I am doing something wrong by having the PG76IMG.zip file and the root.zip on the sd card at the same time. I found a better way of obtaining the SD card CID using an android app called Gold Card helper and I now have a page http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcardwhere I can input the cid to get an image downloaded to me. What I still fail to see is why this has become necessary. Can you tell me if this card created during this process then has to be in the phone when I attempt to flash the clockwork mod recovery image, as that is on another sd card. Please enlighten me and I shall give deserved thanks.

Bro can you at least text format your posts?? You write everything in a single line without pressing enter.
It becomes creepy to read.
Anyways, Where is the prob?
Prob is in rooting or in flashing CWM(clockwork mod recover) ?
For CWM ,
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
find the device , and click on the version number to start downloading.. (its 5.0.8 as of now)
then paste it to desktop. And then with the fastboot command flash it to your mobile in fastboot mode.. you will be done. Then the root.zip that you have , flash it from recovery .
Hi Mihir
Thanks for your help, I had no idea there was a specific recovery image for each model of phone.
Now that I have downloaded the image can I substitute the image for the one I currently have and then I guess run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.image
would that be correct as i guess the image need to be in the same directory as fastboot?

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
should be .img rather than .image...
Thanks Mihir I will try that when my battery has recovered!
Please help
Hi
I have just managed to download the correct Recovery image as suggested and it appears to have installed correctly.
Code:
c:\WFS>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4494 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.700s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.200s]
finished. total time: 3.900s
I have then removed the battery for a couple of minutes, restarted while holding down the volume minus.
I get the white screen showing hboot at the top highlighted in blue and fastboot highlighted in blue further down.
The sd card is then checked? and I can then select recovery and press the power button.
I then wait for the recovery options but all I am seeing is a white screen saying HTC followed by a black screen with all the four screen button lights on?
There is no mention of any recovery options at all.
Has something gone horribly wrong?
Delete the old download, download the recovery again, and flash it using a GOOD USB-cable. preferably the shortest and sturdiet you have. The image file has probably been corrupted somewhere from the interwebs to your computer, or from your computer to your phone.
Success at last
I finally got Recovery to work with the help of the Recovery provided by Operator3 at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997465&page=3
I used Recovery to install the root.zip and I now finally have a rooted phone, woo hoo!!:laugh:
Now all I need to do is free up some space at last.
Hi,
i just got an HTC One M8s and i think its propably bricked. I don't know whats owner of that phone done here. Its Software status : Modified, Bootloader: Locked, and S-ON.
I can't turn on the phone, i just can go to bootloader option and cant access recovery bc its popably didn't exist anymore.
I was trying to flash RUU for my CID T-MOB009 but htc_fastboot says "data length is too large" and sometimes "remote:signature verify fail", and i was trying to unlock this bootloader with HTCDev, but when i clicked yes it looks like that(means 1st photo) and just reboot to fastboot in bootloader and it's still locked
Is there's a way to unbrick this phone ? I just spend like 4 hours of trying some tips but it doesn't work for it.
Some screens (remove spaces cause i can't post link before 10posts):

Yeah maybe there's a problem with the "Security warning" it shouldn't be there. What you can do is to reflash the RUU. But not with fastboot but from your sdcard.
Probably this is the firmware that you should use. I'm not sure though you can go one directory back and search for another one if that doesn't suit to you.
Now to flash it follow the steps
1) Download it and if you can check the md5sum so as to ensure it has downloaded correctly.
2) Rename it to 0PKVIMG.zip (note the first character is a zero and not a O
3) Take out the sdcard of your phone.
4) Insert it on your pc and format it to Fat32 or exfat.
5) Copy the above file into your sdcard.
6) Power off your phone and insert the sdcard
7) Go into the bootloader mode. It should automatically detect the firmware
8) When it asks you if you want to install choose "Yes"
9) Wait until it is done. It will flash multiple times the system partion. WAIT patiently
10) Hope that fixed it!
PS: When you enter fastboot you probably see some green letters. This means the hboot is searching for the software file i said above. If it finds it's ok. I had problems copying the file with windows though.

Yeah thanks for that great advice man! Unfortunately i was trying to copy this on Windows and when i try to Hboot that it just skip process (but stops for sec on a 0PKVIMG.zip) and going back to bootloader. Any advice how to do that properly on windows ? I checked md5 on sd card and its the same as on my computer disk and same as on this site what youre sent to me . Thanks for replies

I couldn't get it that done on windows. Dunno what's going wrong. Hopefully i had a linux distro installed and i copied the file from there. Maybe you can do that.
If you haven't installed any linux then create a live cd and boot it up.

Okay so now its the trick. I have done copied that properly, bc it start to loading when i put sd card. I click yes for update, and its start to flashing. Some of first steps failed so it wasn't look good. It called ROM failed to flashed click POWER to restart, and when i clicked it phone goes off and now its propably close to hardbricked cause i cant turn on bootloader. When i take it to charger there is no battery on screen informating its already charging. Only LED is working when charging and sound on windows when plug it on and off. Any suggestions guys? I'am scared now
Similar situation
Hi,
I appear to be in a similar situation with my M8 that I tried to convert to GPE. Something went wrong and although the ROM booted, I kept getting told my data was corrupt or encrypted... Tried a few reboots, and refreshed but still got the same...
A thread on here suggested formatting one of the partitions from TWRP which just returned an error, since then the phone appears to be 'hard bricked'.
No display, no charging indication, not recognised in ADB, and I can't force boot into recovery or fast boot.
However, I do still get the notification sound when I plug it into my PC...
It appears in the Device Manager as Qualcomm Mass Storage Device, and Windows shows ~20 drives most of which are unformatted, a few of which seem to contain system info...
I was wondering, would it be possible to re-image the Device? Given that the PC recognises the partitions, would anyway know what -should- be on them?
Alternatively, can anyone provide an image of a stock drive, partitions etc which I could apply?
Apologies if this is nonsense, but I'd imagine the reason it can't boot is the Bootloader partition is 'missing' or corrupted.
The same may be true for your device Mikkal.
Thanks in advance,

What is your CID , software version
No idea mate.. I can't turn on the phone so I can't check that..
For those who can't flash a RUU, unlock the bootloader install TWRP recovery, and install a custom ROM. Voila!
