my dhd is a year old and after downgrading for perm-root and s-off i got stuck in a boot loop. i tryed flashing recovery in fastboot but i get remote not allowed tryed installing pd98img.zip but i think my gold card failed because i get cid error damm branded phones. so i tryied running tmobile ruu with no luck stuck in boot loop. i cant find another tmobile ruu or ota's so im stuck.... so basicly phone is still in warranty and i need to brick it so i can send back for warranty repair without them knowing its been downgraded from gingerbread to froyo.... thanks in advance
not to brick but to repair:
have you done eng s-off too? seaech fot a thread in dev section, by jkoljo i think
if eng s-off applied, you should be able to flash recovery via fastboot
when u get that working, from recovery format all partitions except sdcard and flash new rom
edit: eng s-off tool
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403
i cant eng s-off because i cant enable usb debugging
ace pvt ship s-0ff rl thats my hboot
Ace_Gingerbread_S_hboot_0.85.0024
i think i need to flash this hboot ?
Did you quick format the sd card?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
have you tried shipped-roms.com?
for a correct ruu
i thought you can run the s-off tool from hboot. i read the op and it doesnt say anything about that, so dont try. i think it shouldnt do any harm, but still, dont try that!
and there is one thing that doesnt make sense:
you say that you got stuck after downgrade, but later you say your hboot says s-off. did you use hack kit or sth? what happens if you try to go in recovery from hboot? also try wiping data from hboot
edit: wipe data is called factory reset in hbot
ive now lost fastboot and boot loader too all i got now is tmobile bootloop..
would htc's repair centre know that the device has been downgraded ?
probably. you are really not interested in fixing this yourself right?

I would not worry too much about them finding out you downgraded your device.
I sent my first one back (vibration motor failure) loaded with CM7. It came back with CM7.
The second time I sent it back (same issue as first) it had MrGaraks MIUI ROM (best IMO ) that came back factory reset and restored to 2.36.405.6
Unless you "agreed" to waiver your warranty with the Official HTC Bootloaded Unlock, then software modifications do not void your warranty. Search for jkoljo's thread confirming that too.
I'm going to close this, as you could quite easily "brick" your device with a 6 inch nail & a hammer. No need to create a thread.

Got a really bad brick on my desire..
What happenend:
Rooted my phone and Alpharev s-off with Data++ HBoot
No probs i'm not a nOOb...
Anyway i had to go back to stock for sending it for repair, a hardware issue...
But in a hurry i forgot to downgrade Hboot and used a stock RUU......WRONG!!!!
End up with a messed up update and resulted in a semi bricked desire...
at boot i got a black screen with warning triangles in al 4 corners.......
Still S-Off but i can't get in recovery anymore..........
Ok......did some research and managed to flash stock HBoot and roll back to S-On But still no acces to recovery/fastboot
Ok.....no probs.....got S-On so i thought now running the right RUU and i'm done.
NOT!!!
When i use a stock RUU i got custumer-id error and cancel the flash....
mmmmm.......damn where's my goldcard.........rrrrright......it's in my son's NDS
So i'm stuck!!! no goldcard, can't use goldcard maker to get CID because i can't boot...
Can't use the original t-mobile stock RUU because my bootloader version is newer. And i can't downgrade HBoot in S-On.
Anyone any idea's...... never had a brick so bad
Do you live in the netherlands?
valt het op
if you can't ruu then try to flash the PB99IMG.zip via hboot and what's your Hboot version number?
i have acces to Hboot only it won't load any images like it suppose to, .......only RUU

Ghehe lol just a guess, well ad me on hotmail, [email protected] i might be able to help you
OK, there´s no problem for you...
You don´t need your Desire to create a goldcard... You can use every other phone to create one, course the CID is not made with the serial of your phone, it will be made with the serial of your card.
There is no problem to create a working Goldcard in an other HTC desire, it will work!
With this created goldcard inside you will be able to flash a working rom again...
I hope you understand me even my english is very bad...
DUDE YOU THE MAN!!!!
i made a card with my legend and it worked perfectly!!!
desire is back to life and ready for repair!!
thx again
i feel stupid not knowing about cid was a identification for sd
Gefeliciteerd man!
OK, nice to know your Desire back 2 life
Have fun
I have flashed the original 2.3 RUU upgrade from Htc dev. The phone is stuck on boot loop. It stays on HTC logo screen for few seconds and then restart again.
History:
I originally had RCMix installed on my phone. Suddenly the phone restarted and then got stuck on Joker screen. I found out that the memory card was corrupted, so reformatted sdcard through windows. Tried re-flashing but again was getting stuck on joker screen.
I flashed RUU's (initially Amoled one and got blank screen for a while) successfully but again was getting stuck on boot screen with no access to recovery , could only access fastboot.
So as a last resort , tried flashing 2.3 upgrade , so its no more stuck on the htc logo now, but keep restarting from that logo screen.
1) I understand it could potentially be a Mboard or Nand issue, but I suspect it could also just be bad sectors on internal memory or some other internal memory corrupt issue. Any thoughts ?
2) I could delete those partitions using fastboot commander but after using RUU , I have got a S-On device now. Is it possible to do S-Off just with fastboot without access to recovery/Adb ?
(Tried asking this on Revolutionary IRC, but no answers)
Got this device from e-bay and htc customer care says they don't honour the warranty after flashing 2.3 upgrade.
PS: I have tried searching and posting on various threads, but still looking for answers. That's why created a new thread.

try leaving it for an hour or so, and then stick it in your freezer for 10 minutes in a plastic bag (no joke), then try again with the 2.3 RUU.. not much else you can do I'm afraid.
So is it a bricked device now even when I can access fastboot ?
try to boot it without the sd card..
as the first boot require some time, wait 15 minutes or more..
Did you DOWNGRADE hboot??? and than intall stock hboot?? which hboot did you used? if the new ones from alpharev.nl you'd probably didn't read this "Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first." it's not too late for downgrade... just do it on fastboot

I did S-Off using alpharev few months earlier but don't remember specifically running any downgrade. After installing the RUU, the Hboot got overwritten, so definitely I was not on the latest alpharev's HBoot's.
Now to downgrade or S-Off , the phone needs to be detected by the setup, which uses adb. But I can not access adb, can only access FastBoot.
i think you can try to flash stock hboot on fastboot by fastboot tool and than do the RUU again... you can... try...

I don't think that's doable, is it ? I don't think we can downgrade the Hboot just like that with S-On.
The risk is loosing the access to Hboot/fastboot itself.
I tried that and it doesn't work with S-ON. I can't access my phone outside fastboot and hboot and I can't even flash radio that way... So now I have an expensive mp3 player with (occasional) wifi access... Anyone have a solution?

Just out of curiosity, how are you playing music in Hboot/fastboot
I think only way for us is to go to HTC now unless otherwise a senior member here sees this post and suggests something else.

Don't you have to be S-Off to flash recovery? I went through the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137763 and it seems I won't be able to flash it, since I'm still S-On
Yes, Seems that my device is bricked and only way out seems to be HTC now.
ridhavm,
Have you swapped hboots to Downgrade from alpharev's site?
If not, then you are still S-OFF.
Check your hboot if it's not old one.
If you are desperate, you can msg me on gTalk. I can have a look. I have saved many phones, so if it's not physical damage, we will work it out.
Thanks, Have added you on Gtalk

as far as I know the unlock method of htc dev doesn't give you s-off (which seems to be confirmed by yourself saying you're still s-on). S-on means "security on" what in other words means you won't be able to flash a custom recovery (if I'm not mistaken here).
You said that you have read every thread here about this - so you should know as it's mentioned all over this forum (that htc dev isn't the best method...). For how - and if - you still could get there I''m not too sure but you probably need to do an RUU, downgrade etc to do the suggested method (of the two corresponding threads here) instead of the htc dev thing.
But as I said: I_m not sure if you still can - probably someone has experience here?

No, no. He will be able to flash a custom recovery if he unlocked it using HTCDev, he won't, however, be able to modify the internal storage while the phone is booted.

ah, yes, thx for clearifying - so you can't get control over the partitions or what does it mean?
The htc dev method gives a different output to revo or alpha, if it says s-on with unlocked somewhere then fastboot is the only method that will work for flashing a custom recovery and although some things like the revovery partition are unlocked for flashing, some important things like radio aren't hence the s still being on........
I presume if it says s-on and locked then yes you have probably gone wrong somewhere and locked it again.
Theres not many people on here that have used the htc dev unlock tool i don't think so support might be a bit thin as we don't know much about it, try running through the htc dev unlock method again to hopefully get it unlocked again and then flash cwm by the fastboot method.
If it says locked then i can't think of any other way, downgrading to hboot 1.01.0001in order to use revolutionary may work but i'm not sure if you can or not as i have personally never done it.

i already tried buzz downgrade a long ago.i used the method as it is told on the website..:good:
but don't know why it doesn't work properly i have no idea why this don't work either. i read number of threats regarding it and i tried to google
with the errors that came with buzz downgrade. something just goes wrong with it in the first step but it just doesn't get completed. the phone does not respond when i ran the buzz downgade utility even after installing the htc driver from the buzz downgrade itself (don't remember exactly that it is explained over the internet). i did clearly everything whatever is written in the threats about how to use the buzz downgrade but in vain i stopped it trying.
i still have the setup of buzz downgrade in my laptop.:silly:
but why it doesn't work i don't know..and you know what i read that threat too in the past.
may be it is the problem of the bootloader that it is locked..

During your procedure,did you ever achieve the S-OFF ?
You need to downgrade from 1.02.0000 to 1.01.0001 to use Revolutionary.
Try this guide.
If you want revolutionary will automatically download the recovery and install it on your phone.
After gaining S-OFF if you can't get Unrevoked working in order to gain root.
Use this or try SuperOneClick.
Good luck:good:
Try the link in my Sig, it should help. First, I recommend running an RUU and relocking your bootloader using fastboot oem lock.
Then try the debranding and rooting guide in the Sig.

this is the thing i already tried a long ago. when the wildfire was updated to 2.2 version of android ,it changed into "wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002"..now as the threats i read there in the past, i can't run the revolutionary or any other method. because the htc has applied some sort of lock on the new bootloader. revolutionary gave some error which i don't remember as per the threats. in the mean time nobody able to find the solution of this new 1.01.0002 bootloader unlocking. then i that time i heard of htc dev website and in that time i used that website to unlock my bootloader and alas it got unlocked and my bootloader has been changed to 1.02.000.. but now i again find that my bootloader is locked may be.. how i don;t know about that.. i tried to run that method of buzz downgrade number of times thoroughly again and again as if u read in the thread above it give some sort of error and does't do anything for me. so i asked what else i do then this , again do i need go to htc dev website to unlock bootloader ??

I never tried htcdev method so i have no idea about that.You should probably try their method once again,if that doesn't work,use the Gold card tool to downgrade the HBOOT using this guide.
Code:
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2
Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2

You didn’t answer me,What is the information on your HBOOT screen?
Power off the phone and ensure the phone is completely off. Then hold POWER + VOL-DOWN buttons together until the white HBOOT screen appears. Tell us your HBOOT info.
You are getting Customer ID error,It’s a bad Goldcard.You will have to create a new Goldcard.
>Connect it to your computer using an SD Adapter and format the card to FAT32 file system once again.
>Redownload and reextract the package.
>Follow this guide to create the Goldcard.It’s a bit more detailed.
Before doing anything download CCleaner and TFC and run them.TFC will ask you to reboot.Reboot the PC.
Now make the Goldcard.Good luck.

not really clear to me also - if I got him right he initially has been on 1.01.0002 (because of the Android update). Because there hasn't been a possibility by revolutionary yet at that time and for that bootloader he unlocked it at the htcdev site what made it 1.02.000.
But I'm a bit confused, too, so a detailed information of the fastboot screen would really help (or a pic).

As it says,your Bootloader is still LOCKED.
After using HTC dev unlock tool your HBOOT 1.01.0002 got changed to 1.02.000 while Bootloader is still locked.
i.e you probably missed some steps.
Ok so I believe I bricked my phone. Currently all it does is boot to the HTC quietly brilliant screen, blink, then HTC quietly brilliant over and over forever. I am able to enter the Hboot no problem, but Recovery and Factory Reset don't help the problem.
Just so you know what I've done:
1) Started with the intention of rooting: Which now seems impossible due to me updating to the 2012 system update released before I realized it makes all the rooting instruction impossible to do.
2) I was able to UNLOCK the Hboot but the program that you normally run before hand would not work, so I did it all manually and successfully.
Current Hboot info is:
***UNLOCKED***
MarvelC PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.10.0001
Microp-0354
Radio-0.94.00.0109
Apr 17 2012, 18:21:30 - I'm assuming this is the line that ruined rooting for me.
3) Tried and read every single program/walkthrough out there nothing works at all.
4) Today I tried using Hasoon2000's HTC Wildfire All in one kit.
5) Attempted to flash the recovery - thought it worked
6) As I knew about the system update mentioned above Apr17, 2012 I attempted to Flash the kernal with the boot rom inside the "RUU_Marvel_Virgin_Mobile_1.37.351.1_Radio_47.10.3 5.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_188032_signed". It went through and said everything worked perfectly. Upon restarting my phone is now stuck on the perpetual loop mentioned above and useless.
7) Booting into Hboot and attempting Flash does nothing as everything is still blocked it seems by that damm patch. Rooting using this program did not work either. I attempted to root from the Hboot USB promt (it was my only choice after the Brick)
Any assistance or ideas or leads really anything would be nice. I hope I supplied enough details.

At what point of "rooting" were you at.. and which method were you using to "root"
the 2012 update made no difference to my NON marvel C handset when rooting via the official HTCdev method.
I'm not sure what you did... clockwork mod recovery installed?
I have abused my HTC & in the last 2 weeks has had about 10 diff rooms on it... I'm finding it hard to brick.. only soft brick

I've been abusing it as well, this is the first time I've run into issue, but then again this is the first time I used this program and tried to see if I could roll back that system update with the KERNEL flash. That's the point at which all hell broke loose.

Really I'm not going to get any help at all? The Phone can't be Rooted so it's not rooted, just Unlocked HBoot as mentioned. It's in a constant Boot Loop.

Well I was able to get the phone to reboot by Fastboot flashing after extracting the rom.zip from the
RUU_Marvel_Virgin_Mobile_1.37.351.1_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_188032_signed
file, but the userdata, radio and recovery portions would not pass the Signatures portion.
So I'm unable to connect with my Wifi or The Phones network. Any ideas from here?
Sounds like a boot lopped have you tried flashing any roms?

LOL hey sorry my phone died and I was at work all last night.
You say its just in a perpetual boot loop... I had this with a "dodgy rom" install when I first started messing around. I managed to fix the issue with a complete wipe of SD card - formatted in the PC - then dalvic cach, cache etc... some "paid for" versions of App2sd etc that are patched or cracked also give loads of probs.
Stupic question, have you formatted / cleaned all aspects of mem card and phone acsessable files using the HBOOT.
When mine did it I just installed a fresh rom (cyanogen mod 10.1) and it worked again. without the reovery / install from SD isnt there I'm stumped.... noobie strikes... sorry
I'll have a read though... see what I can come up with.
I see from the Kernal You tried was for a MARVEL not MARVELC.... im sure the two should never be mixed up or bricking will happen
i'll get back to you later if i find anything out mate.

From reading the tread properly, it seems a flash of the MARVEL Kernal onto a MARVELC phone is where the propblem lies.. Im pretty sure you should never mix the two... I could be wrong though - my wife tells me I often am! lol
good luck Drakons:good:
your best bet at this point is to flash a custom rom that is already rooted. you have the custom recovery already installed so just flash the rom. (whichever you like) for future reference the marvelc can be s-offed by placing the pj76diag.nbh onto the sdcard and booting to bootloader, allowing it to run and then selecting clean s58 data. once you have s-off you can supercid and then run any ruu that you want, should you ever get stuck in situations like this. where as the htcdev unlock blocks the use of ruu`s and pj76img.zips from bootloader

Ive just receive my htc wildfire s from the repair shop after hard bricking it by myself, they manage to bring my phone back to access bootloader but still stuck on htc green and white logo when you just turn it on,they used jtag method..my problem is I dont know what firmware should i use to flash my phone and bring it back to stock gingerbread firmware..
here is my bootloader info :
hboot - 0.90.000
radio - 7.46.35.08
I dont have any ***locked*** or ***unlocked*** phrase on the first line indicated - (and ive read some articles in other forum that it is necessary to update the bootloader to have ***locked oow*** appear on my bootloader and update my hboot to 1.08.0099 - 1.10.000 and then unlocked my bootloader via htc.dev officially).
one more thing , ive tried flashing extracted ruu from football's post because like what ive said my phone is stuck on htc white and green logo when turning it on after a jtag...but my log says that "main version is older" ,, i tried it using goldcard and plain micro sd card.. So the big question is WHAT firmware or rom should i flash in order to use my phone again?? do i need to update bootloader first??? or what..what method should i use??? thus my wildfire s is still brick or un recoverable???

okay.i really confuse about your problem right now.but what is situation of your phone right now?
is it working?
any rom installed in it?
if you can have any rom installed.you can download ROM MANAGER from play store and then from it,you can flash clockworkmod recovery.
and i will give you european stock rom 2.3.5 which is flashable zip.so hassle free.but you need recovery to flash it.

your hboot is 0.90.000 so and you dont have any signs like locked unlocked on your bootloader menu.its meaning your phone is not rooted.
so for custom firmware you have to root your phone.and secondly if it's got back from service center it should be in working condition.if it's not.you can go to service center again.they people have stock firmware in sdcard.
they will put sdcard in your phone and install original firmware.then you dont need to root and all your phone..
thanks but the problem is in my first post.
