hello everybody...
a friend of mine just gave me his desire, he bought a used one and tried something to update its rom, but now its bricked and its in my hand to be fixed.
the problem is that it doesnt boot at all... i mean when i press power button to make it on, the htc logo appears and starts again and again with a little VIBRATE. so i can say that its in a boot loop.
ok when i press vol down and power button it goes into the boot loader, where it is written that its S-ON with boot loader .93, and when i click on recovery it goes into the boot loop like i wrote above.
i also have a Desire HTC and it is rooted using unrevoked and i m running an HD rom over it. its a complete packaged phone...
i have a knowlege how to root and etc. but in this bricked desire case i dont know what to do. coz it never happened to me... i also searched the forum for a solution, didnt got any.
please help me in this matter... ask me question and please give me a solution,/

i tried to install the rom by downloading this RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
i think it is working, but it says while installing that from image 2.33..... to imrage 2.29.... and then it tries to push everyting i mean tryies to run its setup and within 2 min it says Customer ID error, try someother package...
edit 1: i itried your way also by copying that zip file and then pasting it on the sd card... i sucessfully loaded in fastboot but i think the same error as above,,, CID error...
now what can i do?
edit 2: Have also tried unrevoked in fastboot mode... power on fastboot usb and then starting unrevoked, but unrevoked keep saying to connect device and enable usb debugging mode. nothing happens
thanks Hassan
1. Download this:
http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
2. Follow this guide to get the ZIP out of the RUU and flash off the SD card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102
Assuming the phone is unbranded it'll work, or at least get the phone booting again. If it fails flashing the ROM for any reason then it's a branded phone and you'll need to speak to the seller to find out where it's from

but going into vol down and menu and then pressing recovery also enables the boot loop with htc white screen and vibrate on everyboot
I think that easier way not loosing the root would be flash once again recovery were you using clockwork recovery? Beside if the phone is branded you will need a goldcard
so i think you should instal adb http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
then you need to recovery image which you can find here http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...a-recovery-ra-desire-v2-0-1-27-11-2010-a.html
put recovery on c drive sdk folder and open cmd on your windows and put a command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
U can try to put ur phone on bootloader, then plug it to ur pc and run the RUU from windows..It should restore all, after that u can root it with unrevoked and do what u want..

U cant flash the recovery on S-ON desire..maybe worth a try to run unrevoked again and see if its work, but i dont believe
i have written clearly that the phone is not going in recovery nor it is booting in to some sort of rom or recovery that i flash new recovery.but if you tell me or direct me to some tutotial to flash recovery in adb mode, may be i can unbrick my device. but c i cant boot into recovery. i can just boot into fastboot.
you dont need recovery to flash recovery fastboot is the only thing you need

ya boot in fastboot, plug it to ur pc and run the ruu from windows.
if ur desire is S-ON there is NO way to flash a recovery...just unrevoked can flash the recovery if u are S-ON, but if ur phone doesn't boot, unrevoked will not work i think

With ur guide he can run the ruu without stay connected to the pc..but he can flash it directly from the pc (if phone usb work), as is more easy (at least in my opinion)..the phone in fastboot mode is not a problem, as the ruu handle that case
I wanted to flash LeeDroid's rom. After I flashed the boot image I realized that I haven't put the rom into the root of the phone's storage! silly me. I tried rebooting the system but it won't boot. Then I tried the unbrick methods on the forum but found no luck. At last I tried relocking it and restore it using RUU but it still won't work! It is saying that I got the wrong version of RUU, but where can i find the RUU for 1.28? Hope someone can help!!

What country are you in, which network are you on and did you buy your phone sim free?
If you go into fastboot mode and then boot into CWM using the command:
fastboot boot <CWM img file>.img
You'll then be able to use adb to push the rom zip onto your device which you can then flash with CWM.
If the RUU says you have the wrong version you probably have the RUU for another region/carrier.
It's pretty much impossible to permanently brick the one x (without s-off) so don't worry, you'll get it working eventually.
Thanks man. I am in Hong Kong and i am pretty sure it is sim free. after I tried running the RUU i have relocked the bootloader. for some reason I can't even get into recovery right now! When I try the RUU it saids the image version is 1.28.708.10 and I get error140

You can't install the 1.26 RUU after you've updated hboot with the 1.28 OTA.
Try installing this RUU: http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/RUU_END...Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257077_signed.exe, it's the same region but a newer version.
Flash the stock 1.28 recovery image and relock your bootloader before trying to install the RUU.
The 1.28 recovery image can be found here: http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/Asia_1.28_RUU/recovery_signed.img

Thanks so much!!
but i have already relocked the bootloader without flashing the recovery image ... would that make a difference?
If the RUU runs successfully then don't worry about it, if it throws another error then flash the stock recovery and try again.

Hello, im having trouble getting my hox to stock to apply the new OTA
I didnt install any custom rom, but i unlocked bootloader to install CWM and rooted my phone.
I checked that my version is 2.17.707.3, WWE, unbranded, so i downloaded this file RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed
The thing is that when i run the RUU, it fails everytime, i tried installing it with android booted, usb debuggin on, using an usb 2.0.. tried booting in bootloader mode using fastbook USB and still failed.
Any ideas?
You need to relock bootloader.
Code:
fastboot OEM lock
And make sure to have battery charged <50% before RUU.

Common wisdom would suggest greater than 50%
You can also try restoring nanroid backup.
Dont forget to flash boot.img also erase cache.
Then flashing the stock recovery.
No need to lock bootloader.
You can find the nandroid backup thread in general section.
Thanks to all!, i will try that as soon as my phone gets 100% battery

Hi Peeps. Appreciate any help here.
Recently got 02 faulty Desire HD from someone. No idea what he did. One of it has a bootloop, while the other is just stuck on the HTC logo. I will just concentrate my problem on the device with the bootloop as it seems to have a higher chance of recovering.
Was able to boot to HBoot and shows me this screen. I will type it out as I have no access to camera for now.

Tried to flash stock rom, cannot. Go to recovery, goes back to bootloop. Factory Reset, goes back to bootloop. Is there anyone to revive this phone?
Can u flash stock roms that's in one file .exe (RUU i think)? Boot into Hboot, plug usb cable and run the rom installer
That's what I did. It could not complete the update.

This is the rom that I used...
You are s-on. You have to flash the boot.img using fastboot after installing the rom.

Have you fastboot flashed a recovery?
Firstly. is there anything to make it S-OFF? Couldn't find a method that works. Most of it I found requires to boot into Android which is impossible for my case.
Also tried to put PD98IMG.zip in SD card to flash it, but give CID incorrect error.

Knowing what the error was would be helpful. Of you want S-Off you need to relock and do it manually.

I will try my best to explain cause I have no idea what's happening...
1. used fastboot using CMD to flash CWM to recovery. Error: signature verify fail.
2. Tried RUU.exe to flash. Simply says the update could not be completed.
Is there any thing I could do with Hboot or Fastboot that could revive the phone? I think I tried almost all methods... unless there is other ways that I have not tried...

Are you unlocked? Exactly what command did you use to flash? Are you drivers properly installed (HTC Sync with phone unplugged)? Did you flash from the folder containing your recovery.img?

1. I'm on s-on. Does it matters?
2. Bootloader should be unlocked after flashing the unlock.bin from htcdev.com. I saw the *** UNLOCK *** when I go into HBOOT.
3. Command I used was *fastboot flash recovery recover.img*. The recover.img is actually the CWM recovery.
4. HTC Sync is installed.
4. Yes i did. It gave me FAILED status. Error: Signature verify error.
I will try to snapshot whatever process I did to make my explanation clearer later part of the day.
Make sure the file name is correct of the recovery.img file

Signature check is failing or the .img file is flaw (try downloading again) or your bootloader is not unlocked in its whole. That happens from time to time. Try using this recovery image (touch CWM):

Hi everyone! I installed the stock google edition on my HTC ONE M8 last night using adb command. Then I get in TWRP recovery try to restore my previous backup that I made using TWRP. Then I got an "restore failed". So, I get in wipe, but I chose the advanced wipe instead of factory reset because my old defy+ is this. I'm so stupid.... I deleted the system. Now I have no OS installed on my phone. I googled earlier that people were saying that using ADB sideload will work. I get in recovery and pressed the sideload but the progress bar just keep going for like 8 hours straight !!! What should I do?
Also, my phone has unlocked boot loader and S-OFF. I rooted my phone before I did the wipe.

Okay. But when I connect my phone to my PC. It makes the notification sound but did not recognize it. And when I typed in "adb devices" there is no devices attached.
It'll only show when booted into TWRP (so flash that in fastboot if you have to), and that's when you push the file

I see now. Does it matter which rom I use? I will try that when I get home. Also, how to use the adb sideload. I stuck in process for about 8hours since last night I pressed the button.

I believe it was RUU.
If it was the RUU then you'll have to flash the firmware package in post 2 of the RUU thread before flashing a Sense-based ROM but if you want the GPe ROM back just flash the RUU again as per the original thread...

Okay. When I tried to use TWRP install the zip file. It told me failed. Is that wrong or should I use adb?
Your backup probably failed because it didn't backup correctly. It's happened to me a couple of times wirh TWRP. You should always check your backup works before deleting anything. There are stock backups available on this forum.
The RUU has to be flashed in fastboot using the fastboot commands, so if you're trying to flash it in TWRP it will fail. To flash the RUU, you have to:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <nameofzip>.zip
First time WILL fail, so then run the same command again - fastboot flash zip <nameofzip>.zip
fastboot reboot
This is ONLY for the RUU ZIP file and not a normal TWRP-flashable ZIP

If you did want sense all you need to do is restore a stock backup and then flash firmware.
If you restore gpe ruu, just download a stock sense backup, the copy and paste the extracted folder it in the twrp folder and restore, then flash the firmware_splash.zip in RUU mode
