[Q] Desire HD Bricked after Ace Hack Kit downgrade and root. - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Earlier I downgraded my Telus Desire HD from software 3.xx to 1.xx successfully. I know that because I did not have sense 3.0 anymore. I then proceeded to root the device it said everything went ok. After all that, I go on to boot and the HTC logo shows up and the fades off into a black screen and just hangs there.
I tried going into recovery but it shows the HTC logo and then switches to a black screen.
Anyone have any suggestions on how the fix this?

you can restore it there by just putting an pd98.img on your sd

htc desire stuck on red triangle exclamation mark

Tried to do a battery rest as per the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755903
I think i did something wrong.
Phone is currently stuck on a screen with a picture of a phone with a red triangle with an exclamation mark.
What do i do?
You're in recovery, press vol up and power and you get a small menu where you can select to apply the clockwordmod update.zip to reset your battery stats (assuming you're rooted)
Thanks so much. I thought something went horribly wrong.
My phone wasnt rooted, so i guess i shouldnt have even tried to reset the battery stats.
Thanks for the help.

Help please
Hi,
A long time ago, I believe I updated my HTC Hero with a custom ROM.
I currently have
- 2.1-update1
- SW: 3.32.405.2
I just sold the phone and tried to bring it back to factory settings.
But I can't.
It won't re-initialize and I can't even delete my GMAIL account.
In short, I don't care which version is installed, I just want the phone to be updated with an official ROM, so that its new owner can turn it on and configure it as if it was knew.
The phone is NOT rooted.
If anyone has a hint, I will consider it my XMas present.
Thanks a lot!

Either wipe it from recovery or use a RUU http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...io_63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.11_release_signed.exe
Look it up, it's easy.

Mine is doing this too,
I tried rooting during the downgrade process (Because I had gingerbread) next thing that happened was when it would start up, it would take a very long time for the white htc screen to show up, and would vibrate (constantly) for 2 full minutes. the white htc screen would then show "quietly brilliant" under the logo and boot. but now it's going to the phone with red exclamation mark in a triangle. Phone is not rooted, hit power and volume up, went to update zip, told me invalid...
what's next?
*edit*
p.s. htc inspire 4g.
also before black screen w/ triangle I ran hack-ACE to put stock ruu back.
restarted again, and now it's usuable, but still does the looooong boot up.
No touch Screen Sensation
Hi forum I am in desperate need of some help. I have an HTC Sensation with a non responsive screen. There was a software update I believe on the forum that claims to resolve this problem. I want to try an upgrade or something hoping my screen issue can be resolved. My problem is how can I upgrade a stock ICS firmware without the use of the touch screen or touch buttons. Or even root the phone from the boot screen.
Second question can I load my external sd card in another Android phone like to load the software on it and then insert it into the Sensation and then linstall it from the boot screen?
Thanks for your help

Desire stuck, no recovery, no boot

Hi
I have got a problem since this morning and I really need some help. Everything was always working fine, I have a rooted HTC desire, running GingerVillain 1.3.
Yesterday I did an update to GingerVillain 1.4 through gingervillain updater.
The update was ok.This morning I take my phone, and try to reboot it.
And now, it is stuck in a bootloop on the green HTC logo.
I can access to hboot (0.80), but when I try to access to recovery to flash another ROM, I have got the green htc logo, then a black screen.
On this black screen, if I use the power button to wak up the screen, then I can see just one line saying : clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.0. But I can't see any menu on the recovery.
So I can't boot my desire, I can't flash something else, I am kinda stuck...
I tried removing my SD card, and it is the same thing.
Thanks in advance for your help...
Did you check the feedback about GibgerVillain's update?
Yes I did. It seems that I am the only one with this kind of problem.

That means you did something wrong. Maybe the copy of the download was foul. Do you have S-ON or S-OFF?
Well, I don't know what I could have done wrong, but I have found a solution.
I went into fastboot, plug in to my PC, then launch a flash with an original ROM (RUU).
After that, a little Unrevoked to get root access and install a recovery, and i started again from draft.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
I'm glad you figured it out.

[Q] G2 flashing orange and green led lights,won't turn on.

my phone(tmo g2,rooted running extrahotsauce rom) is flashing the green and orange lights now that its charging...the battery was fine and i was doing a backup using clockword mod recovery and once that occured i rebooted,then rebooted again into recovery and from then on the phone hasn't turned back on. i put it on charge at first and no light,left it on for a bit and now there's green and orange led lights blinking continuosly,any one know the cause? and more important, the solution? any help would be much appreciated, thanks
someone posted in the evo 4g forums saying the phone was overheating? doubt that was the issue. but now that it isn't working,i am hoping it is
Turned on but kept shutting down on its own,somehow got it into clockwork mod recovery,wiped data and cache(after backing it up), wanted to install the mexdroid rom and the phone shut off again at the end of the wipe,now it just turns on at the htc screen.
when i hold volume+power and get to the boot screen,it wont let me scroll up and down using volume,instead it automatically just tries to update.
stuck at htc screen,just wanna try to restore my phone,any help would be great. thanks and sorry for being such a damn noob
Do you have a pc10img on your sd card? If so, you need to get that off of there to get into recovery. Also, it sounds like something is seriously wrong with the battery and you should replace it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
found it,its a zip file right? it wont let me delete it though,is there a certain way to do it?
i have a spare battery,just cant seem to locate it at the moment, might need to buy one if i can't find it soon
nvmm figured it out,lets try it
OMG you are the greatest,its working so far...do i need to put the pc10img back on the sd card in order to install a rom or no?well it wouldn't get to the recovery screen with it on the sd card,sorry i need to get some sleep
NVM,i left pc10img off of the sd card installed the rom,but it wouldn't start,just stayed at the htc screen. I put that file back on the sdcard and it's still just stuck at the white htc screen, know what the issue might be? i have a custom boot animation in there,would that matter?
when i get to the boot screen,it says, s-on at the top,is that why?
If you're s-on then you're not rooted or at least truly rooted, like if you did a temp root with visionary. I would suggest finding the tmo post ota ROM in the development section dated from December, it'll be a PC10IMG, and rooting that with gfree from the wiki. When you have done all that, install ROM Manager from the Market. When you open the app click "Flash Recovery"and you'll be ableto install ROM's from ClockworkMod recovery.
I apologize if you already know some of this stuff, but you sound a bit confused. Hope this helps.

no need to apologize,you're only helping. i told my friend about the issue, and he reccomended a thread on xda that explains how to turn s-off(and root/unroot). it had been rooted, but yeah like you said it was temp rooted using visionary. ill try these methods and post results. thanks alot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890827&highlight=[Guide]+How+to+Root
so that's the link he sent to me, i was skeptical but still went through with it and yet it still says s-on...i need a guide to show me how to fix just that.
i've never used gfree or wiki,nor do i know how or what of them. is there a thread you can direct me to? ill look for it myself but i think if you were to find it,you'd be able to direct me to the right one since im sure there are multiple threads and you seem to know what's happening and what you're doing
ok so i've tried 5 different methods and nothing seems to result with s-off for me. do i need to unroot and reroot?
i know this thread is old but i just got a referb g2 for my wife and it had this same problem. i found this somewhere else and it actually worked:
try taking out the battery and unplug the charger. then press and hold the power button for roughly a min. Then put the battery back in and press the power button. It should work. it worked for me.
i had tried holding the power button for almost a minute with the battery still in with no luck. doing it this way with the battery out worked though.

[Q] Phone Freezing At Droid Eye And AThen Bootloops

So i was running a miui rom and did a clean wipe to try and a new rom. I couldn't get past the boot screen of the rom so i figured it was just a bad download. so i went and unrooted the phone. i have Hboot .92 thew radio is 2.15.10.07.07. i have the phone to s-on. i downloaded and installed the stock verizon gingerbread rom by renaming it to th P whatever lol. the reboots gets to the incredible screen then goes the htc quetly brilliant screen then it does the droid sound and i get the red snapdragon logos. but when it get's to the droid eye after it circle goes back and forth once then freezes on the second one. it sits there for like 3 or 4 minutes and then it just reboots to the droid sound and snapdrogon screen then the droid eye and stops and just keeps repeating this. i am hoping someone on might have a cure for this. the only thing i can get into iss hboot. hoping it's not fried. thanks for your time. and sorry for the long post, just trying to be very detailed to get the right help.

Have you tried doing a factory reset from hboot, and then reflashing the ruu (PB31IMG.zip file) thru hboot again. Also why did you go s-on, just makes it way harder to reroot or fix issues like these? The only reason anyone should ever go s-on is if you need to return it to verizon under warranty.
the reason for s-on is because i was selling it and the new owner just wanted it stock. they know nothing about rooting or any of this kinda stuff. i do believe i tried the factory reset but i will give it a go again.
so i believe i have found the problem. and doing some research it's my own fault. i am still on the .07.07 radio baseband and i found out that i should have downgraded before getting s-on. now i don't know if i can fix this problem or did i just ruin my phone. hoping for some good news. thanks

Im pretty sure you have to downgrade the radio to get s-on. As in it wont work to get you s-on if your not on the right radio. Are you sure you didnt downgrade and doing the ruu just upgraded it again?
I would try doing the latest ruu.exe with a pc, instead of PB31IMG.zip.
i would love to but the pc will not read the phone because it just boot loops.

Try flashing the PB31IMG.zip ruu with fastboot. androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/487280-easier-way-flash-pb31img-files.html
do you happen to have a workable link for the adb and fastboot. the link on android forums is through megauploiad and is not a workable link.

Have you installed the phone drivers on your pc?
i have installed everything that i can to try and get this phone working. hboot comes comes up on the phone just fine and i can get to fastboot on the phone. when i go to recovery from fastboot it goes to the green triangle then it turns red. i do the volume and power to get to recovery but when it comes up i get a bunch of error messages. and am at a lost with this. all i know is i don't think it is bricked because i can get to hboot. when i try to install another pB file from hboot it either does not do anything or it tells me it failed because it was an older version. i am pretty sure it is a software problem i just can't figure it out.

So far, you did half of what you did wrong. this subject has been discussed in these forums over and over, so instead of opening a new thread you need to search and read. Factory reset should never be pressed as it deletes the usb debugging drivers, but you probably missed that part.
If you are S-OFF then flash a recovery from fastboot and then a custom rom..or flash a RUU you like. Use the guide in my signature to find out how.
Yes I know this thread is spam but my problem looks diffrent than normal. Bricked android phones got logo showed all the time but my phone after 5 - 7 seconds is turning into black but device is still working.
The problem is that i have really no idea how to do now. When I rooted it how can I install custom ROM?

you don't need root to flash a custom rom. You need S-OFF and a custom recovery. Read the guide.
Fade to black screen means that your PC connectivity failed way through the process and should have been run again from that screen as stated in the manual.
So, what I have to do now? My phone is rooted and what now? But i think I damaged software in my phone because i cant recovery system.
You are not rooted (you need a ROM to be rooted). You are S-OFF with no custom recovery. There is a section in glevitan's guide explicitly for this very issue.
I don't think you're listening the advice above.....
Have you got a recovery installed? Can you boot into it? If you haven't, flash one in hboot.
From recovery, flash a ROM
