BOOT PROBLEMS
"I just flashed a new ROM, and I get a bootloop.. Help!"*
"I just flashed a new ROM, and it just stays on the HTC screen"
"My phone randomly rebooted itself and now it won't boot"
*This is a fairly common problem, and is solved very easily.
Possible causes of bootloops/ phone stuck on HTC Screen:
- You are S-OFF, and you have not got the correct partition table that is required for the ROM.
- Some ROM's require an SD-EXT partition, you either have not got this or have not done it correctly.
- For whatever reason, the ROM did not install properly.
To fix a bootloop/ stuck on HTC Screen:
[STEP1]- do a battery pull to power off the device (as this is the only way to do so when stuck in a bootloop)
[STEP2]- hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the POWER button to boot into the bootloader
[STEP3]- use the VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons to navigate, and POWER to select. Navigate to RECOVERY.
[STEP4]- select "mounts & storage" and then select the following options
[STEP5]- format boot
[STEP6]- format system
[STEP7]- format data
[STEP8]- format cache
[STEP9]- format sd-ext (IF YOU HAVE IT)
[IF YOU HAVE A BACKUP]
[STEP10a]- go back to the main menu, select "back up & restore", select "restore" and restore the latest working backup.
[IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BACKUP]
[STEP10b]- go back to the main menu, select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard", and flash a ROM which you KNOW works.
If you have none, try my failsafe: CyanogenMod
- reboot system now
#PHONE STILL DOESN'T BOOT#
[IF YOU USED YOUR BACKUP, OR A ROM THAT IS NOT CYANOGENMOD]
- Repeat the process, and flash cyanogenmod instead of restoring a backup or a different ROM.
[IF YOU ARE USING A RECOVERY THAT IS NOT CLOCKWORKMOD 2.5.0.7]
- Download Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7.zip and place it in your sdcard.
- boot into recovery, select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard" and choose "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip"
- repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards

ADVANCED BOOT PROBLEMS
S-OFF
"I'm S-OFF, I can't boot recovery and my phone doesn't boot"
For one reason or another, your recovery image is corrupted and when you try to boot into recovery, all you get is the HTC screen
and your phone doesn't boot. It is relatively simple to fix, and there is more than one way to go about doing this. All you need to do,
is to flash a new recovery image.
Possible causes
- I have no idea, however if somebody has an explanation then feel free to PM me.
Repairing recovery, booting phone:
NOTE: If you have a PVT4 Device, go to "Flashing custom recovery". If you are unsure, check just to be safe.
#METHOD 1#
Method One uses Android Flasher to flash the recovery image.
[STEP1]- Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2]- Download Android Flasher
[STEP3]- Download the recovery image. Put it in a place you can remember.
[STEP4]- Run android flasher, tick "Recovery", and press "Begin"
[STEP5]- Browse to where you downloaded the recovery image, select it, and press "open"
[STEP6]- repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards
#METHOD 2#
Method two uses cmd and requires Android SDK to be set up.
[STEP1]- Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2]- Download the recovery image. Rename it to "recovery.img" for simplicity, and place it in the following directory:
Code:
C:\
[STEP3]- then in cmd type the following commands
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\tools
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt [COLOR="Silver"](this command boots you into recovery, ignore the feedback from cmd)[/COLOR]
[STEP4]- repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards
S-ON
"I'm S-ON, I can't boot recovery, and my phone doesn't boot "
This is a bit of a worse situation, as you cannot flash system critical parts such as the recovery image and just restore a backup.
This unfortunately means that you will lose all of your data when you attempt to fix the phone.
[STEP1]- Make sure that you have a goldcard. If not, create one from the tutorial.
[STEP2]- Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP3]- Download the latest WWE RUU from here
[STEP4]- Run the RUU and wait for completion WARNING: DO NOT, BY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INTERRUPT THE PROCESS -
THIS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY END UP WITH A BRICKED PHONE - NOT EVEN IF GOD HIMSELF TELLS YOU TO DO SO, OR IF THE US PRESIDENT THREATENS YOU WITH
THERMO-NUCLEAR WAR
[STEP5]- Once the phone is booted, you are now returned completely to stock. You will need to re-root again, and I'd recommend S-OFF

S-OFF'ing PROBLEMS
"I tried to S-OFF using revolutionary, but it didn't work"
Possible causes:
- Your Bootloader version is too old. Revolutionary works with 0.93.0001 and 1.02.0001
- You didn't install the relevant drivers
- HTC Sync is interfering with the process
- You have a custom ROM installed -ONLY USE THE STOCK HTC ROM
[STEP1]- Check bootloader version. Power-off, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER.
YOUR BOOTLOADER VERSION IS NOT 0.93.0001 or 1.02.0001
[OPTION1]- Use Alpharev instead
[OPTION2]- Use a RUU to upgrade to the 2.2 Froyo RUU which gets you to 0.93.001 bootloader version - Follow from S-ON [STEP1]
The latest is gingerbread 2.3.3 however I DO NOT recommend using it.
YOU DID NOT INSTALL THE RELEVANT DRIVERS/ HTC SYNC IS INTERFERING
[STEP1]- Disable or un-install HTC Sync
[STEP2]- Try Again
#DIDN'T WORK?#
[STEP1]- Download and install these drivers
[STEP2]- Follow this guide
[STEP3]- Try again
#DIDN'T WORK?#
[STEP1]- give up on this guide, do some research, start a thread in Q&A if needs be. As a last resort try the IRC client for live support..

RUU PROBLEMS
"I tried using a RUU, but it failed, and now my phone is stuck on a black HTC Screen with /!\ In every corner!"
Possible Causes:
- You were S-OFF and you flashed a custom bootloader from alpharev
- You didn't check the MD5 Sums before proceeding, and the download may have been corrupted.
- You tried using the wrong RUU
Fixing your problem
Your phone is stuck in RUU mode. RUU mode is like fastboot mode, and can still receive fastboot commands, therefore it can be easily "fixed".
It helps to have a goldcard for this problem, so that you can use any RUU you want.
S-OFF
[STEP1]- download "Bravo Stock" from Alpharev
[STEP2]- download Android Flasher
[STEP3]- use android flasher to flash "Bravo Stock"
[STEP4]- run the RUU again and wait for it to finish
S-ON
If you're S-ON it eliminates the possibility of you having a custom bootloader, and the only possibility now is that the RUU was corrupted or you
used the wrong RUU for your device. Therefore, for this process you need a goldcard.
[STEP1]- Create the goldcard from the tutorial
[STEP1]- Use the WWE RUU
NOTE: If you are restoring for warranty purposes, unless you bought an unbranded phone, using
the WWE RUU will VOID YOUR WARRANTY, and you should use the 2.3.3 RUU (link available from #resources)

SLCD BRICK (BLACK SCREEN AFTER RUU)
"I restored my phone using a RUU, the process finished and my device is detected by my PC, but my screen is black and does not turn on"
Cause:
- The RUU you flashed is incompatible with your SLCD Device, and was made for the AMOLED Desire
Solution:
[STEP0]- My guess is that because you got yourself to this STEP already, the RUU you used was not for your phone so you already have a goldcard.
[STEP1]- Download the WWE RUU
[STEP2]- Boot into fastboot mode (battery pull since you can't see, hold BACK and POWER. Wait about 10 seconds to be sure)
[STEP3]- Plug phone in via USB and run the RUU

RUU PROBLEMS CONT'D/ GOLDCARDS
"My phone isn't functioning properly, and I need to use a RUU,however when I try I get a CID error"
Possible causes:
- You are just using the wrong RUU for your phone. If you have a branded device e.g. on Vodafone, you need to download the latest Vodafone RUU.
- For an unexpected reason, your phone is giving you a CID error, even with an unbranded device [note: the "fix" to this is the logical steps one would take in order
to try and solve the problem, however it has not yet been tested and it is not 100% guaranteed to work for you]
Solution:
The obvious solution to this problem is the goldcard. A goldcard makes the device ignore the CID and effectively enables you to run any RUU without any hiccups.
[STEP1]- Follow this tutorial to create a goldcard
[STEP2]- Insert the goldcard into the device, and re-try the RUU process
Phone doesn't boot so can't get CID like in tutorial
- use this and copy the CID without spaces or commas. Follow the tutorial from further stage.
#DIDN'T WORK?#
- it IS possible you made a mistake in the goldcard process. Follow the tutorial carefully, and try again
#DIDN'T WORK?#
- not all sd-cards will work as goldcards, if you have a spare sd-card lying around try that, or read around some forums for what sd-card definitely works in the process.
The sd-card I use for my goldcard is a Sandisk 8GB Mobile Ultra Class 6 (NOTE: This does not mean I am telling you to buy it, I'm just simply stating that it works.)
#DIDN'T WORK?#
- for now, that's all I can think of. Anyone who has any more ideas feel free to PM me.

RUU WITHOUT USB CONNECTION
"My USB port is broken and I need to use a RUU to return my phone to stock. How do I do it?"
"I need to use a RUU because my phone is "broken" but I have no access to a PC"
RUU without USB:
IF YOU'RE S-ON, START FROM [PHASE2]. S-OFF CONTINUE FROM [PHASE1]
[PHASE1]- Because you're S-OFF, the custom SPL (hboot) has write protection, a RUU will not overwrite it and only restore the system, data etc.
[P1/STEP2]- Download the Alpharev Downgrader PB99IMG (MD5: 6c482ccfa6b7093de4ee1a5804ccbdfc - check MD5 matches with MD5 checker, link below)
[P1/STEP3]- Rename it from "PB99IMG_downgrade" to just "PB99IMG.zip" (careful with file xtensions on windows 7)
[P1/STEP4]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER).
After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. Wait for it to finish,
reboot and then continue.
[PHASE2]- we need to extract rom.zip from the RUU. If your phone is branded Orange, you will need a goldcard because Orange didn't release any RUU's.. The bastards
[P2/STEP1]- Run the RUU (BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE OR CONTINUE), move it to the side as it cannot be minimised.
[P2/STEP2]- go to start menu, and use the "run" feature. Type in %temp%
[P2/STEP3]- select "date modified" to "today" (to make it easier to find). There are should now be 2 folders with long names of random characters.
[P2/STEP4]- search the folders for rom.zip and extract it to the desktop.
[P2/STEP5]- Rename the rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip (if on windows 7 and you have hidden file extensions, only make the name PB99IMG,
otherwise it will be PB99IMG.zip.zip - because windows is retarded sometimes)
[PHASE3]- now we need to actually use the RUU
[P3/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER).
After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
[P3/STEP2]- Once the process is finished, you will now be S-ON and unrooted with the stock system.

STILL S-OFF AFTER RUU
"I want to return my phone for warranty, I used a RUU but I'm still S-OFF"
Cause:
- Alpharev's Hboots are write protected, so that they can not be overwritten by a RUU
HOW TO S-ON
METHOD 1#
[STEP1]- Visit Alpharev and download the "Downgrader"
[STEP2]- Flash the downgrader over fastboot. This can be done with Android Flasher, cmd, or fastboot commander (Note: android flasher is the
only program that does not require third party software such as Android SDK or Java JDK)
[STEP3]- You should now notice the title on the bootloader screen is "Alpharev Unlock", run the RUU again and you will have S-ON'd your device.
#METHOD 2#
[STEP1]- Instead of running the RUU again, and putting your phone at risk once more, you can simply upgrade just the bootloader manually,
with the PB99IMG.zip method.
[PHASE1]- we need to extract rom.zip from the RUU.
[P1/STEP1]- Run the RUU (BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE OR CONTINUE), move it to the side as it cannot be minimised.
[P1/STEP2]- go to start menu, and use the "run" feature. Type in %temp%
[P1/STEP3]- select "date modified" to "today" (to make it easier to find). There are should now be 2 folders with long names of random characters.
[P1/STEP4]- search the folders for rom.zip and extract it to the desktop.
[P1/STEP5]- delete everything EXCEPT "hboot_8x50_0.93.0001_20100810.nb0" and "android-info.txt"
[P1/STEP6]- rename the zip to PB99IMG.zip (make sure it is not PB99IMG.zip.zip)
[PHASE2]- now we need to update the bootloader
[P2/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER).
After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
[P2/STEP2]- Once the process is finished, you will now be S-ON.

DESIRE DEEP SLEEP ISSUE
"I put my Desire on standby, and now the screen won't turn back on!"
Causes:
- Your phones network not being able to connect to a certain network type (Hard to explain)
Fixing Deep Sleep
[STEP1]- Enter dialpad
[STEP2]- type *#*#4636#*#*
[STEP3]- Go to "phone information
[STEP4]- Change "preferred network type" to GSM only, or CDMA only
Side effects
- your phone will only be able to connect to either HSDPA, 3G or 2G (depending on what you pick), therefore if a certain area is not covered by that network.. you will not have data

FLASHING CUSTOM RECOVERY
"I'm using clockworkmod, but I want a different recovery"
"My recovery is damaged and won't let me flash"
As said above, you either want to flash a different recovery to test out it's different features, or perhaps you read that one is better than the next,
so you want a different one. Or your recovery is damaged, and you need to re-flash a different recovery image.
FLASHING RECOVERY
In order to flash recovery, you need to be S-OFF
[STEP1]- S-OFF using revolutionary - if you have any problems go to S-OFF'ing problems, [STEP1]
[STEP2]- Download the recovery image that you have chosen. If you have not chosen one, then I recommend Amon Ra's Recovery
#METHOD 1#
Method One uses Android Flasher to flash the recovery image.
[STEP1]- Poweroff. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2]- Download Android Flasher
[STEP3]- Download the recovery image of your choice. Put it in a place you can remember.
[STEP4]- Run android flasher, tick "Recovery", and press "Begin"
[STEP5]- Browse to where you downloaded the recovery image, select it, and press "open"
[STEP6]- Wait for the process to complete.
#METHOD 2#
Method two uses cmd and requires Android SDK to be set up.
[STEP1]- Poweroff. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2]- Download the recovery image of your choice. Rename it to "recovery.img" for simplicity, and place it in the following directory:
Code:
C:\
[STEP3]- then in cmd type the following commands
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\tools
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt [COLOR="Silver"](this command boots you into recovery, ignore the feedback from cmd)[/COLOR]
*Recovery CAN be flashed using unrevoked, however I haven't personally done this and I'd just recommend S-OFF
PVT4 DEVICES
If you're device is PVT4/ erasezie 40 000 deivce (You can check in bootloader, first line will say Bravo PVT1/2/3/4 SHIP S-OFF/ON)
or by entering the following command in terminal emulator (available in android market):
Code:
su
cat /proc/mtd
You CANNOT use clockworkmod 2.X.X.X because it is incompatible, I recommend using Amon Ra's Recovery as I know it works.

ROOT WITHOUT USB CONNECTION
#NOTES: MUST BE BOOTED INTO ROM, ONLY TESTED ON FROYO AND S-OFF - MAY WORK WITH OTHER SOFTWARE #
"I can't connect via usb, but I want to root"
Possible Reasons:
- You are unrooted and you have a usb brick
- you do not have access to a PC/ Mac
- some other strange reason
How to root without USB connection
This process uses temproot and ROM manager to flash recovery. You will only be fully rooted once you flash a rooted ROM.
[STEP1]- Download visionary. Put in on your sd-card
[STEP2]- If you have not got one already, download a file manager (Astro file manager works fine)
[STEP3]- Using the file manager, find Visionary and install it.
[STEP4]- Run visionary, and select TEMPROOT NOW - wait about 30 seconds
[STEP5]- Go to market, and download superuser, then update the binary if needed
[STEP6]- Download ROM Manager, run it, and select "flash recovery"
[STEP7]- Download a custom ROM if you have not done so already, and flash it via recovery.

[12]FLASHING SPLASH SCREEN
"I have a branded Desire and want to get rid of the UGLY splash screen"
"I want to use a custom splash image instead of the HTC logo"
How to flash custom splash
#METHOD1#
Method one uses Android Flasher
[STEP1]- If you haven't got it already, download Android Flasher
[STEP2]- Get a 480x800 .bmp image as your desired splash screen
[STEP3]- boot into fastboot (poweroff, hold BACK and POWER) and run Android Flasher
[STEP4]- choose splash, choose the .bmp image and flash the flash the splash
#METHOD2#
Method two uses cmd, and for this you need a .img (also covered in the tut). It also needs Android SDK set up
[STEP1]- Download nbimg.exe and unzip it into C:\

RECOVERY CAN'T MOUNT SD-CARD
I flashed a new recovery, and now my phone doesn't recognise my sd-card. I get the following error:
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
HOW TO MOUNT SD-CARD
[STEP1]- Firstly, you will need Android-SDK (If you don't already have it)
[STEP2]- Boot into fastboot mode (Poweroff, hold BACK & POWER)
[STEP3]- Open command prompt (cmd) and type the following command
Code:
cd\ C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
ERROR: AdbWinApi.dll IS MISSING
[STEP1]- Go to: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
[STEP2]- Copy "fastboot.exe
[STEP3]- Go to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
[STEP4]- Paste fastboot.exe here
[STEP5]- type the following NOTE: THE DIRECTORY IS DIFFERENT HERE TO BEFORE
Code:
cd\ C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
ERROR: 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
CAUSE:
When you downloaded the Android-SDK installer, it installed the the SDK in a different directory, try using:
Windows 32Bit
Code:
cd\ C:\program files\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
Windows 64Bit
Code:
cd C:\program files (x86)\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
STILL DOESN'T WORK
Try:
- Different recovery
- Different SD-Card
Possible Reasons
- Your recovery is damaged
- Your SD-Card is dead
- you forgot to insert your sd-card and you're doing all this needlessly?

Easiest Root Method
- The easiest root method for the HTC Desire
[STEP1]- Check Hboot version. Poweroff, and hold Volume Down & Power (it's the number after "HBOOT". Examples are 0.75xxxxx, 0.83xxxxx, 0.93xxxxx, 1.02xxxxx)
REVOLUTIONARY
[REVOLUTIONARY]- If your HBOOT version is 0.93 or above (NOTE: Version 1.03 is NOT supported) then continue, if it is below then use the Alpharev method.
[REVOLUTIONARY][STEP1]- Go to revolutionary.io and go to the "Downloads" section, Pick your operating system, choose device as HTC Desire, and choose your HBOOT version (you should already know this from STEP1). Then enter your serial number, it can be found in "about phone" or behind the battery.
[REVOLUTIONARY][STEP2]- Read the documentation page and download these fastboot drivers.
[REVOLUTIONARY][STEP3]- Make sure HTC Sync is disabled, if you have it installed on your PC. Plug your phone in via USB and make sure USB debugging is turned ON (settings> applications)
[REVOLUTIONARY][STEP4]- Extract all of the tools from the revolutionary.zip file and run revolutionary.exe. A CMD window should pop up and show you the progress (See [3] for how it should look like).
[REVOLUTIONARY][STEP5]- When the process is almost finished, it will prompt you to flash a custom recovery, type YES or Y. Follow tutorial number [10] if you would like to flash a different recovery - This is optional and not required if you decide to flash recovery during the revolutionary process.
[REVOLUTIONARY][STEP6]- Download superuser.zip (mirror), put it anywhere on your sd-card (preferably in a path you can remember). Boot into recovery by holding Volume Down & Power (You will see lines of green text flash, this is normal), then using the volume keys to navigate to RECOVERY, and use POWER to select. The phone will now boot into recovery.
[REVOLUTIONARY][STEP7]- Once you are in recovery, use the trackball (if it's broken then use volume keys) to navigate to "install zip from sd-card > choose zip from sd-card > #directory where you put superuser.zip# > superuser.zip > yes"
[REVOLUTIONARY][STEP8]- After the process is finished, reboot, and your phone will now be rooted.
ALPHAREV
[ALPHAREV]- If your HBOOT is 0.93 or below (For version 0.93, you can use revolutionary or alpharev. revolutionary is significantly easier/ quicker), then use this method.
[ALPHAREV][STEP1]- Go to Alpharev.nl and read the page carefully. Download the reflash utility and burn it to a CD.
[ALPHAREV][STEP2]- Reboot your PC, change the boot order for CD/DVD and boot the alpharev disk. Make sure USB debugging is turned ON (settings>applications) and plug it in via USB. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
ALPHAREV][STEP3]- When the process is almost finished, it will prompt you to flash a custom recovery, type YES or Y. Follow tutorial number [10] if you would like to flash a different recovery - This is optional and not required if you decide to flash recovery during the revolutionary process.
[ALPHAREV][STEP4]- Download superuser.zip (mirror), put it anywhere on your sd-card (preferably in a path you can remember). Boot into recovery by holding Volume Down & Power (You will see lines of green text flash, this is normal), then using the volume keys to navigate to RECOVERY, and use POWER to select. The phone will now boot into recovery.
[ALPHAREV][STEP5]- Once you are in recovery, use the trackball (if it's broken then use volume keys) to navigate to "install zip from sd-card > choose zip from sd-card > #directory where you put superuser.zip# > superuser.zip > yes"
[ALPHAREV][STEP6]- After the process is finished, reboot, and your phone will now be rooted.

Very nice thread! Thanks for your work!
Btw I found a little mistake:
STILL S-OFF AFTER RUU
"I want to return my phone for warranty, I used a RUU but I'm still S-ON"
Think it should say "still S-OFF"

So, I am a bit of a noob, but does this work with gsm and cdma phones? My CDMA desire won't boot into recovery and so I can't flash a new rom. I downloaded a fresh recovery onto my computer, and was hoping this would let me flash it onto my phone so that i can change to a different rom.

Good question, personally I have never dealt with CDMA Desires so I wouldn't want to give you the wrong advice.. You can try this guide and see if it works for you.. because I have no idea, sorry. Just remember - if the method in the guide breaks your phone in any way, shape or form - I am NOT taking any responsibility.

Hi. I recently used the camera app to take some pictures. After that, I locked my phone. When I tried to unlock it, the screen remains black. I decided remove and put back the battery. After I did that, the phone still does not turn on. I connected the phone to the charger, the LED does not light up. Is my phone bricked? I did not flash/install anything, I was just using the camera app. I hope anyone could reply as soon as possible. Thanks.

well, the fact that your phone doesn't turn on and the LED does not light up on charge suggests to me that your phone is dead. Happened to mine too (exact same symptoms, don't know what cause). It will be covered by HTC, just give them a call.

I haved s-offed my phone and I know that going s-off will void the warranty. Is there a way to go s-on again while the phone is dead?

I thought it'd have been pretty obvious that due to your phone being dead, they won't be able to tell. Don't worry about it.

If anyone can help, I'm a little inexperienced with android OS
I'd like to use the usb menu of sense 3, but more like miui. If you know a program that allows me to share the internet from phone to computer and vice versa would be a good alternative. Thanks in advance

[TUT] Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device (for noobs)

Before you start, you will need to set up your computer to properly recognize the phone. You probably did this when rooting originally, but just in case... Install SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync.
About HTC Sync: The only reason you need HTC Sync installed is for the USB drivers that come with it. But the program itself has been known to cause conflicts. Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.
Here we go:
1. Download the correct RUU (ROM Update Utility) for your device from androidfiles.org. Make sure you download a Primo_C RUU for a CDMA device (no sim card) or a Primo_U RUU for a GSM device (uses a sim card)!! Also make sure you get the correct RUU for your carrier.
2. Charge the battery above 50% or for at least one hour. If the battery dies during the flashing process, you could hard brick the phone!
3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.
4. Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
5. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
6. Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
7. Re-run the RUU. It will restore the device to it's original condition, locked (though *** RELOCKED ***) and unrooted.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash CWM Recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.
If you do re-root your phone, be 100% you backup the stock ROM in ClockworkMod Recovery before making changes!

Hi
Thanks for that perfect decsription exactly when I needed it
I just had a weired effect with my new windows 7 laptop that I want to share.
I installed the USB drivers and "fastboot devices" showed my HTC fine
but even flashing the stock recovery image was not working.
So it was stucking in the "Sending" part and never continued.
I then moved to my old laptop with Vista did exactly the same things
and there it worked without problems.
I disabled virus scanner, checked for htsync and used the original USB cable
without success.
But now I know why I normally never touch Windows and only
work on linux

Another way of saying it is that you downloaded the wrong RUU for your device.

i tried installing the drivers again but that doesnt help either

"Waiting for Device" at fastboot usually related to bootloader driver. You need Android USB Driver

Hi folks,
I've bought my One V in late may and I had 2.08 ROM.
Now I've tested some roms and I wanted to revert back to stock rom.
I've downloaded RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_2.08.401.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.18_M_release_263376_signed, and got recovery_signed and boot_signed images. Then I've went to fastboot, did flash recovery and boot partitions, and oem locked bootloader. Afterwards I booted my phone and entered PIN. Then I fired up RUU*.exe file, and I have 155 error. What the heck? Something I missed?
greetings!

Flashing RUU to revert to stock
- you must have the correct RUU for your device.
- if you are not sure, download CID Getter from Play Store and run it, it will show your CID.
- with your CID, you may be able to find a correct RUU for your device
then (even though some people may not agree with this, but this will bring no harm and it is noob-proof) do this:
1- flash a stock recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
2- flash a stock boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
3- re-lock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
4- flash RUU
NOTE: There is no boot/reboot and enter pin in between.

[Q] Start anew

Hello,
To start off, I want to say that I DID search on this forum, for similar threads, and while I did find some, I couldn't find out how to do it.
My Phone:
HTC One X
S-ON
Rooted
Locked bootloader
ROM: Android Revolution HD
CID: HTC__E11
I flashed my current ROM a while ago, but I really cannot remember doing it and I deleted the backup I made before flashing (I always back up before flashing) because I thought I was running the stock ROM (without trouble) and I needed space.
What I want to do now, is get rid of EVERYTHING and just reset it to what it was when I first booted it, when that's all done, I want to root it again and unlock the bootloader.
The problem is that I can't find the appropriate RUU. I've been looking for it for a good while now, but I can't seem to find it.
I've downloaded OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27-2.17.401.2_release_298985n1wwcwzs385c0bvz.zip from
htcruu.com/ index.php?dir=Endeavor (not allowed to put links here, sorry) and I put that in my SDCard directory.
When I tried to flash it (I don't know whether I am supposed to or not, but I only got a .zip and no .exe...) it did not work.
If you need the error, tell me and I'll do it again.
Regards,
Pim

If you can't find a ruu, you can use a stock nandroid backup. You can find a collection of them at general if I remember correctly.

And when I run the RUU (as administrator) I get "Error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".

Do you have HTC drivers installed and java SDK platform files ?
Have you ever used fastboot commands ?
Do you have a fastboot folder on the pc with fastboot/adb files in it ? When you connect the phone to the pc and put in bootloader menu you should see something like fastboot USB
Download this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
And put the folder in c:\
So you have
C:\fastboot\ files in the folder
Open a dosprompt in that folder and type
Fastboot devices while the phone is still in bootloader menu If it comes up with your serial its good

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to apologize for leaving so suddenly, but I had some other, more important, things on my mind.
Thanks for the link, but when I try to do that (and follow all the instructions I get on the screen), it all goes well, until just after "erasing user data", when I get the error as seen in the attachments.
When I started my phone, I had to fill in the basic questions, but I later found out that all my files were still there, while the apps themselves had been uninstalled...
I figured some general stuff out, and adb and fastboot are now *finally* working as they should.
Regards,
Pim
EDIT: Since I'm not quite sure whether or not the attachments are working, I uploaded them to imgur:
imgur. com/a/yMxph <= just remove the space before the between the "imgur." and "com/a/yMxph"

Well, I've just downloaded the correct RUU, but I'm currently getting error 155: unknown error...
I'm kinda clueless about what to do now...

first of all you need to root your phone.
you can find rooting guide in general as well as developement section.
then you need to install custom recovery.you can download rom manager from play store then from that app you can flash cwm recovery.
then download appropriate zip of rom which you want to download.
you want 4.0+ so here many ICS roms available(cm9) and also JB roms (cm10).
look at developement section and then download zip file of rom.
put it on sdcard
then go to recovery(remove battery then reinsert battery,hold volume down and power button)
you will see hboot menu,wait 2-3 seconds because it will scan PMG76IMG file.
then with volume button scroll it to recovery and then use power button to go to recovery.
then wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
(do twice for sure)
go to advanced
wipe dalvick cache and battery stats
then install from zip
and select your rom zip file and install it.
now your done.new rom will installed then reboot system.

When i have press volume down+power
and choose recovery it bring me one photo with mobile and a red triangle with a ! insinde.
And stay at this screen forever....
the specs it show when i pres vol. down + power are:
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

A 2012 model can have an jb or ics rom. Eoghan's kernel includes a patch for 2012 models. So you have to flash the rom and than eoghan's kernel. This should be working.

first go to this post and download 2012+cwm+recovery.zip file.
and also attached kernel you can see at end of post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37337141&postcount=33
then extract that 2012+cwm+recovery.zip to your main computer drive( e.g. C drive)
now open start menu and type cmd.
you will see command prompt.
now locate it to your c drive,
something you will see like this:
c:\user\name>
(name ll be your account name there)
so then type
Code:
cd..
you will see then c:\user>
again type
Code:
cd..
so now you will see like this:
c:\
then type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then you can see custom recovery will install in your phone.
then you need to download root.zip i attached here and then flash it via recovery.(remove battery,hold power+volume down) select recovery now you can see recovery.then go to install from sdcard and select root.zip it ll root your phone.
now if you want to install ICS and JB roms you need to download these all roms and then immediately flash kernel from mentioned first post.
done you can use cm9/cm10 roms.
good luck.
NOTE: (Read first)
(you need to download htc sync for htc drivers because without htc drivers this fastboot not work.plug your device with your computer in fastboot mode.just with power +volume down button you can see first option fastboot so select it with power button.you can see in that option "fastboot usb" on upper side. and yeah download htc sync but when you do fastboot close htc synce from notification bar.we just need htc drivers so we download htc sync.)
for confirm that you device is connecting to computer type
Code:
adb devices
you can see now name of device like MB02393 something like that.if you cant see meaning you didnt installed drivers correctly.(when your phone is on and usb debugging is on,in fastboot mode this won't appear so dont worry)
if your motive is only use cm9/cm10 roms and nothing to do with stock rom then no need to flash root.zip just backup your stock rom .
recovery has backup option.
then do as in first mentioned link:
if you stuck anywhere like htc logo and all read each page of this thread might it ll help:

You have a very old h-boot so you need to upgrade it first!!
So you need to flash the stock rom for your hboot or the ruu of your hboot and then when the hboot is 1.36 or 1.39 are the two best, you can flash a rom without problems!!
You dont have to unlock bootloader because is unlocked!

1: no
2: no
3: yes (explain at the end)
4: flash a new custom rom (better then stock)
5: no
6: you install a new rom by
Flashing the boot.img with fastboot commands, make a FULL wipe in recovery and install a new rom.
The easiest way to get you upgraded is to get you to full stock and update via official HTC ota
Can you perform a fastboot command :
Fastboot getvar version-main
Please post the number

Download ANDROID SDK BUNDLE (Google) unpack it and navigate to the platform tools. Point in that folder and hold down shift + click the right mouse button and select
Open command window here
Now put the phone in the bootloader and type in the command window on the pc
Fastboot getvar version-main
It will give the number we need for the right ruu !

Try a reboot of the pc and the phone ..... It should work. All the things seems to be in order. Maybe you have another pc around to test it on.

Oke here we go !
Download this file
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...11-radio-1120410514-release-260743-signedexe/
Backup everything from the phone you need, even a backup of the sdcard ! Because this will wipe all
1: charge the battery if its at low level
2: put the phone in the bootloader and relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
3: keep the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode
4: select the ruu with a right mouse button click and select
"Run as administrator"
5: sit back and follow the installer
This will bring back the phone to full stock, after this you go into the settings menu - about - software updstes.....you update as much as you can until it doesn't detect any updates anymore !!!
