Develop Bugs

Please help!! Major Brickage!

Ok so here goes, hoping you guys can help... I've searched and found a few threads related to a similar issue, tried everything suggested, and still nadda....
Being the forgetful fool I am, I flashed the most up to date official RUU on my rooted Desire with Oxygen HBOOT without flashing the downgader HBOOT first... The idea was to do a simple unroot back to stock...
Needless to say things didn't go well. I now have a silver HTC logo with the 4 warning triangles in each corner
Read that flashing the downgrader then the RUU again would work so...
Flashed the downgrader HBOOT using fastboot... success!
Ran the RUU again... ERROR! 140 wrong bootloader version.
Tried flashing and running various recoveries, boots, etc. using fastboot... all give ERROR remote 12 signature verify fail
Cannot get to vol down+power
Cannot get to back+power
When I have the silver HTC and unplug USB I get the following:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-4.06.00.02_2

RUU (in orange box)
Any ideas if there's anything I can do to get the phone booting again??
Thanks a lot for any help you can give!!

You are supposed to flash stock hboot, then flash hboot downgrader before RUU. This is because hboot downgrader only downgrades the hboot to allow RUU to s-on the phone. Technically now you are still on oxygen hboot. Are you able to fastboot flash hboot?

Hmm ok so I'm even more stupid than I originally thought...
Don't think I can flash HBOOTs in fastboot
Whenever I try 'fastboot flash hboot ...' with the stock alpharev hboot I get the 'remote 12 signature verify fail' error...
Thanks for the quick reply

Well screw me sideways... I fixed it...
For anyone who lands in the same (stupid) position as my idiot self, I just flashed the official 2.3 Gingerbread update RUU...
Flashed first time, booted first time, now boots every time...
No idea how or why... but yay

Returning to Stock Help Needed

Hi All,
Returning missus Desire back to stock and have searched and found many guides..
following through, I'm basically installing the following RUU from .EXE file:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe
The phone was previously on Orange and I understand there is no RUU for this.
Upon installing this EXE...it gets to the area about checking the phone and intialising and all I get everytime is an Error 170 USB Connection Error. It can't seem to see the phone.
I am on XP and have tried the phone booted in to its current ROM (ICS) and also under FASTBOOT USB but neither makes any difference...
Any ideas?
Many thanks...
Rich

You're missing proper drivers on your PC. Try to download and install htc sync or driver package from htc dev site and then to reconnect phone.

That's not recovery, that's bootloader. Below that you have meny loking smth like this:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
ERASE STORAGE...
You can use volume up and down buttons to navigate, highlight recovery and then press power to enter recovery.
If you wanna install stock, reboot your phone and let RUU running. My recomendation is to use 2.3 RUU since it's made for all versions of desire no matter of carrier. You can find it on htc dev site.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

Well I have put back the stock HBOOT....
installed a RUU which now just gives me a white HTC screen and goes no further....
I downloaded the 2.3.3 correct RUU but it won't see my device and HTC sync won't install the drivers.
Any ideas folks?

Oh my BOOTLOADER now says this:
ALPHAREV
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
Radio 4.05.00.11

And also...within Device Manager my phone is being picked up as Android Bootloader Interface

Ok, this is the trick, your hboot has write protection and ruu can't overwrite radio. From your bootloader I can see you have old radio which won't work with 2.3 RUU. Of course RUU should overwrite the radio during install but it's not posible because of protected hboot...
You have to download downgrade hboot from alpharev site, flash it and you will have unlocked hboot. After that run RUU from PC and it will overwrite both radio and hboot.
But, you will lose s-off and root, so revolutionary again :-D
And don't worry about what's written in device manager, it's normal.

You actually don't want to read carefully, not stock bravo but DOWNGRADE that's the right one. After flashing you'll have this on top in bootloader:
ALPHAREV UNLOCK
not just alpharev.
Then after flashing reboot to bootloader not fastboot and then run RUU.
If RUU won't work you can try with rom.zip on sd card but that's a different story.

Half-bricked Desire

Hello everyone.
Recently I noticed a few problems with my Desire so I decided to send it for a warranty repair, so I had to come back to stock ROM. I was on:
Oxygen ZM
hboot 6.93.1002
microp 051d
dation 4.05.00.11
I just plugged my phone in fastboot mode and opened RUU on my PC. It went through and rebooted the phone. Unfortunately, it is now stuck on splash screen with HTC logo.
I don't know what to do now. Maybe the hboot version was too high?
I was thinking about installing new ROM but can't open recovery (when I'm in fastboot and click recovery it reboots on splash screen) and also the cable doesn't work at all. Can't use adb commands or charge the battery - it just acts like it isn't plugged in.
Please help. I'm a total newbie and don't want to brick my phone (I've read that if I can reach hboot it's not as bad)

Turn off the phone n hold volume down + power and post everything it says in bootloader menu.

Ur still s-off so try flashing new recovery via fasboot commands. Read bortaks guide in my sig, everything u need for fastboot is there, also download the 4ext recovery PB99IMG in my sig and extract it and ul have almost the latest 4ext recovery.img, thats what ul need to flash in fastboot.
Once uv fastboot setup on ur computer, put recovery.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer then with ur phone off, hold back button + power (thats fastboot) then plug in ur phone (usb) and open command window and type -
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
If all okay then u should have recovery.
Read bortaks guide and the guide for ADB & FASTBOOT by SUroot. Everything u need is there
Sent from my HTC Desire

hey. thanks for your help. but as I said, I can't plug in my phone with USB - when I do it, nothing happens. I can't even charge my battery.
So, I've put this zip on my SD card and the bootloader asked me to update recovery. I clicked yes and it said done. But when I try to open the recovery, it still goes into splash screen
also, I can't try a lot of combinations because my battery could discharge and that would be a problem...

Does ur phone charge when its turned off and plugged into mains (wall)? If so charge it up first
The only other way to flash recovery is by fasboot commands.
There is a way to flash an ruu via PB99IMG but id make sure ur battery is full first
Sent from my HTC Desire

no, can't charge it. as I said in first post: "also the cable doesn't work at all. Can't use adb commands or charge the battery - it just acts like it isn't plugged in."
what's now?

Looks like your cable is faulty actually

I don't think so, it worked fine until I made the RUU. It would be a huge coincidence.

so, anyone knows how to fix it?

anyone?...

c'mon! I'm sure someone can help me, it is not full brick!

U can run an ruu via PB99IMG but thats a risk coz u dont know how much battery u have left and if ur battery dies then ul probably be left with a full bricked phone

OK, so I will try to charge my battery with some other device (same phone or special charger) and try to do it. How much time does it take? I have about 15% battery left because I was running RUU on 30% :laugh: (yup, that was stupid) do you think it's not enough? If it takes less than 5 mins, it should be OK.
edit: but... I've already run RUU and that's why my phone is bricked. What RUU should I run to make sure it will work? I don't know why this one didn't work. Was it because of hboot version or what?

U can use the 2.3 gb upgrade from htcdev. Heres a link to my dev host, file is there
http://d-h.st/d44
Then use Droidzones great guide
http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&sourc...fC74BQ&usg=AFQjCNGX60VvJTy6BOBkfKsZ9maoS-A_xw
Make sure ur battery is atleast 40-50% to be safe, bootloader wont let u run it anyway if its below 30%. It should only take 5 mins but the phone will need power to boot up fully aswell.

thanks, you're just great!
I thought it won't work because my hboot is too high or something but it really helped!
one more thing, just not to make another thread. do you know why when I try to reach my recovery it shows red "!" over a phone? is there a recovery in stock soft? I want my phone to look like it was brand new. how to get rid of "revolutionary" in hboot?
ehh.. now my PC doesn't see the phone (can't use adb commands, but it's charging) - GOD, WHY?

I take it the PB99IMG worked?
What does it say in bootloader now? (vol down + power)

okay, thanks, my phone is 100% stock now excluding SIMlock. but I think they won't check it
and the recovery is OK, I just forgot that I have to hold upvol button and click power button to run it. you know, with other recoveries you don't have to do that kind of stuff.

[Q] Desire does not boot - no recovery, just fastboot

Hi
I was a happy camper with a HTC Desire GSM PVT4 with cwm and Mildwild.
I had a modified partition with the CM7r2 version and A2SD. Happy
two days ago while on the phone he suddenly whitescreened on me, since then, no boot
I can't boot in recovery any more.
What i did:
- clear storage
- tried with flasher for another recovery, no luck (as explained on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632)
downgraded to alpharev unlock.
Right now I don't want to go bricking my phone, cause being stuck with a nokia don't remember how old it is is not my cup of tea...
I want to return it to normal stock (or any other rom, but stock would be great)
So:
When boot:

I prefer to use the PB99IMG.zip method, because I don't have good experiences with USB.
Anyone has any idea if it's safe an if it will work to use this http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip at this stage?
I also read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172879, and it seems an equal problem, apart from the PVT-version
Thx in advance..

[TUT] Downgrade your Desire/Bravo HBOOT from 1.02.0001 to 0.93.0001

Hi,
This is how you downgrade a Desire/Bravo with the HBOOT 1.02.0001 already installed, - this method is appropriate for people who need to downgrade the HBOOT for unlock purposes. I struggled for ages on this and once I found the method thought i'd post it around the internet as I couldn't find this info anywhere.
-Summary of steps-
1)Turn S-Off + Update HBOOT
2)Downgrade HBOOT to 0.93.0001 (Turns S-ON)
I have personally tested this and it worked perfectly without any problems. However flashing anything to your phone is done at your own risk, & I accept no responsability for your device.
--Step 1--
Download and run the Revolutionary tool here http://revolutionary.io/ to turn S-Off - Follow the steps on their website for how to do this if you get stuck.
Once you have run the Revolutionary tool, when it asks if you want to install the Clockworkmod recovery press no.
You will now have an S-Off phone running HBOOT 6.93.1002
--Step 2--
Format a microSD card, download the following zip file and save it to your memory card.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dyyn35zm07x2x7a/PB99IMG.zip LINK UPDATED 2 JAN 2013
You should now have a single file on your memory card named PB99IMG.zip
--Step 3--
Put the microSD card back in your phone and hold 'VOL+DOWN + ACTION' and press the power button to get to the HBOOT menu. Wait around 10 seconds (give or take) and the phone will detect the update and ask you to install it, Select yes to install then reboot your phone back into the HBOOT menu.
You will now have an S-On phone with the 0.93.0001 HBOOT
--Step4-- IF THIS STEP APPLIES TO YOU FOR UNLOCKING
Unlock with XTC-Clip as you normally would - Creating goldcard with 0.93.X001 HBOOT.
Your phone will now be unlocked.[/QUOTE]
NOTE: You can do the official updates through the phone as normal without loosing your unlock
Hope you find this info useful

what ruu (PB99IMG) is it?
what if someone has an orange branded phone, coz there is no ruu for it and they would need a goldcard.
what about people from different regions coz theres different ruu's for different regions aswell and they would need a gold card.
edit: its a hboot.img, thought it was an ruu.
did u try this yet? does it work?
normaly when u change hboots u have to format partitions. if u go to the trouble of getting s-off then why not just run the correct ruu for ur device, just to be safe.

Hi,
It souldn't matter what network the phone is on - The HBoot was taken from a WWE RUU & I tested it with a UK Vodaphone branded desire which worked. I used this method to unlock a 1.02.0001 phone which isnt supported by xtc hence the downgrade needed. You shouldn't need a goldcard for the downgrade part as running the revolutionary tool will switch s-off, after applying the downgraded hboot it will turn s-on but as you will be on the old 0.93.0001 hboot you can just create the goldcard with xtc and complete the unlock if this step applies to you - it probably does as I dont know another reason for downgrading to this HBOOT.
Running the downgrade will wipe the phone - it did atleast with mine.
The reason I couldnt run an RUU to downgrade the hboot after turning s-off is because revolutionarys tool adds some protection to prevent hboot flashing via RUU & fastboot. The only way I could find to do it was to flash it directly from the SD card.
As for the other regions you may be right and need a local hboot - I'm not able to test this as I only ever get UK phones to unlock. If it is the case the HBOOT which you want to downgrade to can always be extracted from a local RUU and added to your own update.zip (named correctly of course) - The network branded phones on the other hand should make no difference - as s is off, so a UK orange, vodafone etc will take the hboot from WWE RUU aslong as s is off. (This is why its neccessary to run revolutionary first)
Hope this info helps.

cool. just so u know to unlock the hboot 6.93.1002 u have to flash the Alpharev downgrader img, that way it can be overwritten by an ruu

Hi,
Thanks for mensioning that, I did actually run the Alpharev downgrader as part of the process but completely forgot to add that step ( I wrote the tutorial after doing it not during ) With me though after running the alpharev downgrade the hboot still wouldnt downgrade from the ruu - also tried manually flashing with fastboot but got various errors (something to do with usb something or other - maby it was just my usb's playing up again as they occasionaly do) so for me I still had to do the sd card way but if you find it works for you with the ruu then even better.
For anyone getting stuck, do this step after running revolutionary - Just download the Bravo Downgrader from here http://alpharev.nl/ and run it before continuing with the rest of the steps.

i always use PB99IMG awsell, my laptop dont like my phone haha

desire with broken volume keys
hi friends, I found a HTC Desire bravo at the flee market and bought it thinking it is actually a nexus-one... a nice phone with lots of nice futures in it after a charging session the phone boot up and it was alive back again. with one problem the volume keys was not working.. ı dismantled it and cleaned up as it is described in xda forums and didn't worked so i made a little check and found the thin foil attaching the volume keys to the main board was broken since there is no way to fix it without changing the main board and i had no intention to pay lots of money on it i left it like that with one problem; no way to boot in to recovery from start... after couple of days i found i didn't liked the rom on it i decided to change it, there was no problem since i could boot it to recovery using the restart menu which the ROM had since it was rooted but i made a mistake and fell in to a boot lope the only way to boot it back was the adb commands but phone couldn't start up so no debugging mode only fast boot so i tried many fast boot commands to boot in to recovery with no success after searching forums i found lots of desire bravos around with the same problem.. so i used ruu to reboot it properly the only ruu worked for me was the official 2.3.3 update ruu ''RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe'' the phone booted and working now but no s off and no root and there was no way to root it without the volume up and down keys i was stuck with the useless unrooted rom so here how i rooted the phone without the volume keys first you have to download ''DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip'' and run it in USB debugging mode after that you have a working recovery partition to install a recovery bin using fastboot or what ever( the problem was after the update i lost the phones recovery partition and couldn't get the state s-off even i am s-off there was no recovery partition... since i am not good at commands to re format the boot loader this could be a life saver so i decided to share my experience... afterwards you can boot into recovery since you have a recovery partition you can push any recovery to your phone i think zergrush tool is not intended to use with bravo that why no body mentioned it in the bravo forums ops i forgot the say i used alphadevs methods and software to gain s-off on my phone before using zergrush i hope this will hwlp people like me stucked with non fonctioning volume keys
