[Q] I think I've bricked my Desire - HELP PLEASE

Let me see if I can explain.
I was running Opendesire 4.0.15 (had been rooted using Revoked on a Mac).
I had modified the recovery using Revoked using amon-ra's ps3 image so I have no proper recovery.
I notices using OD Updater that OD 4.0.16 was available, downloaded that and let it flash it itself.
Now the phone doesn't boot properly, I get the O2 splash screen then what looks like a dark grey screen with very thin vertical coloured bands then back to O2 splash.
It occasionally show the Android screen but not much else.
Once it got to the setup screen with the Touch Android to begin picture and the animated finger. However there was a FC on screen and the touchscreen didn't work, so I couldn't progress.
I can get into fast boot and even the modified recovery but I can't see what to do to get a rom onto it or get it to boot up so I can re revoke it for a proper recovery.
It seems if I leave it long enough it gets to the setup screen but no touch screen working. Then it re-boots.
Can anyone suggest how to get a proper recovery file on at least??
Any help gratefully received.
Edit
From Hboot I can see

So it's an SLCD then?
Please help I can't afford another phone.
Thank you.

I can see the device from fastboot, (fastboot devices lists it by it's serial number)
is there any way for get either a new rom or even just recovery onto it from this commandline?
Anyone?
Please

this is what I get, any clues?

RUU see's it, (when I have it in bootloader) but when it runs through and reboots the phone, the phone sticks on an H T C screen and the pc is counting looking for bootloader but never sees it.
OK, got the HTC screen, unplugged USB, plugged it back in, ran RUU again, started uploading, green bar moving across screen, then it rebooted, waiting for bootloader, RUU then failed, black screen on phone now, no bootloader, no splashscreen nothing.
It vibrates if I hold power button, it doesn't if I hold back button or VOL down with power button.
Now it's dead.

what RUU did you flash it with?
sounds like you flashed it with a pre slcd screen RUU

the only O2 one I could find on here
RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865.exe
Now I can still get bootloader / fastboot working, I see it in my device manager and the fastboot command sees it again, is there anything I can do from there?
(damn thing is only 3 weeks old).
Thanks for reply btw

Managed to get a newer Froyo RUU to run to the same stage as I had before so now got a display back , hBoot 093 still for the borked recovery
is there anything I can do other than send it back to HTC?
thanks for reading, really really stuck here.
with files on sd card (pb999.img etc) it now checks those then says CID incorrect

where is it getting stuck now?
is this a branded device? (if unbranded was it branded before)
what did you flash it with?
Is your gold card present?
what os are you using to flash it?
Have you tried using the downgrade utility to flash it back to a version of 2.1? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256

Hello again )
ok it now just goes to the white screen with the 3 androids skateboarding I have have hboot or fastboot, I don't know the significance of those.
if I select recovery it goes to amonra's poc-psfreedom so I can't even reflash it from there
it was originally an O2 UK phone so has the O2 bubbles on screen
I don't have a gold card :i(
I run a mac but I have installed xp on bootcamp to try to resolve this.
I can see the phone is device manager as Android USB Device - My HTC
It boots to the white screen now when I plug in the usb cable
it had been running happily on OpenDesire 4.0.15 with no problem, but when I called the updater to bring it to 4.0.16 it turned into this mess.
the downgrade utility requires a gold card doesn't it? I don't have one (
edit - more info
the RUU file I have tried again is
RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
it tells me it will go from image version 1.20.207.3
to image version 2.14.207.1
it starts and brings a black screen onto the phone with HTC on it, starts working then fails with erroe 171 usb connection error. (perhaps I need a different usb driver installed?)
edit again - if I unplug the usb cable I get the white screen but only RUU but pull battery and get fastboot hboot back

Hold the press
I think I've recovered it now.
Using that RUU, everytime it stalled out and said waiting for bootloader I tapped the power button and it continued, flashed the whole thing now I seem to have an official O2 Froyo!
Thanks for your input mate.

i dont know how you uninstall that psfreedom stuff, people should just buy the dongle and not risk bricking their mobile phones.
Try intalling the latest version of htc sync or use a pure windows pc rather than bootcamp see if that rectifies it.
its not hard to create a goldcard if you have a microsd slot, I do recommend you make one using the tool from modaco. and try using the downgrader. it could be that the psnation tool is conflicting the the bootloader now its .93
EDIT: was on a call mid type and posted this while you have replied.
Glad its sorted

It's sorted now, thank you.
Dongle is in the post mate.
I really appreciate your input there, I was feeling kinda lonely!
Now it's on what appears to be O2 official Froyo, means no root, DOH!
Cheers fella.

you can use the downgrader tool to downgrade hboot and firware.
then you can root and flash a rooted 2.2 405 rom like the one teppic made
it would then be on the latest 2.2 for EU and be rooted with a compatible hboot
im on hboot 93, im waiting for unrevoked. they seem to be taking an age

You are a genius, I'll have a play tonight.
Thanks mate. - SUPERSTAR -

Hi lininjim ,
I have the same issue as you mention. i get to hboo screen and nothing works beyond that. how did you get your phone to recognize with RUU. coz mine just stays in htc logo and RUU does not recognize it at all...

1. Posting in a thread that's one year old is not very useful.
2. Look in troubleshooting guide.

Sorry to say it worked exactly as I posted mate and I got rid of the Android phones back in March.
Sorry I can't help.

Possible brick. Bootloader access but no recovery. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Check post 10 for an update on progress after running the stock RUU
Been reading XDA for awhile, first time posting. I'll try to put as much information on here as possible so please excuse the long drawn out post.
Have been running MIUI 11.16 release on Evo 4g until two days ago. My evo began bootlooping in my pocket, which happens sometimes but usually on the splash screen. This is usually fixed by a battery pull and a ROM reflash in Clockwork Recover. However, on this occasion my phone has been bootlooping on the HTC screen. I booted into bootloader and attempted to then boot into recovery but the loop continued.
I have the original PC361.zip still on my SD card so decided to run the update and see if that would reset things. The update was successful and I attempted to boot recovery . The HTC screen flashes and proceeds to a black screen with 5 vibrates and a blinking LED. This now happens every time I turn on the phone with booting into the bootloader.
I attempted (perhaps incorrectly) to flash clockwork recovery through Fastboot USB through my Mac Terminal, but have been unable to do so as it won't allow a remote flash.
./fastboot flash /recovery /Users/****/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/recovery-clockwork-1.8.1.7-supersonic.zip
sending '/recovery' (808 KB)... OKAY
writing '/recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
So, to recap. Normal boot results in 5 vibrates and a green LED flash that is only reset by a battery pull. Fastboot access is available, but perhaps not usable by remote access. No access to recovery. Cannot mount SD card onto my Mac (not sure if that's a given). Top of bootloader screen says the following:

I've done a lot of forum hopping and reading and it seems like this is the most relevant information for trying to fix this problem. At this point, my only real goal is to make a phone call or two so I'm not worried about keeping my root since that can be fixed later. Any suggestions would be much appreciated and I can furnish any information you might need.
Thanks

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM RUU updater from www.shipped-roms.com?
This may not get you into your rooted state with your custom rom, but should at least get you into a usable state.
You should still be rooted afterwards, but will need to run UNREVOKED FOREVER, to get your clockwork recovery back.

Just downloaded an executable RUU filed from Shipped ROM's. I'll go find a Windows system and give it a shot. I'll update in a bit.

I think the .exe is finding the android device, but doesn't do anything after update is hit. Is there a way to connect my phone to the computer to run this .exe through bootloader?

Select hboot usb and make sure the drivers install (probably windows only, sorry) then run the ruu. I think the needed drivers are included with the htc sync software (windows only as well I believe)

Just tried with hboot usb plug hooked up and it didn't recognise. I'll try to install HTC Sync and give it another shot. Thank you guys for the help so far.

The RUU successfully installed and booting the phone no longer causes the 5 vibrations and the green LED. The phone is still bootlooping at the HTC screen going to a black screen and then rebooting.
This is the first breakthrough I've made in days. Any ideas on where I should go from here?

I would think maybe flash radio, then they to flash recovery. Maybe wait until someoe else chimes in though

I tried to flash recovery through Fastboot and my Mac terminal, but I'm still being denied remote access.

A quick update on the situation to try to consolidate any progress so far...
I successfully flashed the stock RUU which should have returned everything back to stock. I'm still stuck in a bootloop from the HTC screen to black screen but no longer have the 5 vibrates and the flashing green LED.
My Bootloader heading is as thus...

Booting into recovery from Bootloader still causes the boot cycle meaning that the RUU didn't fix everything. Also, S-OFF still seems to mean that the root appears to be in place (maybe?) so no luck of returning it to sprint. Still cannot remote flash from the command prompt in windows.
I'm not sure what to do next. If I had to wager a guess it would have something to do with the PC36img.zip file, even though I'm not totally sure what this means or which one I should attempt to load. If this is the case, I can go buy an SD card reader today and attempt to load another up if anyone can suggest one.
Again, thanks for all of the help.

did you try to unroot don't know if you used unrevoked but if you did try to flash the s-on tool and then flash the 3.29 ruu that should put you back up to stock and load good but if it doesn't then you may have a corrupted nand. Don't take my word for it cause i know computers more than these phones i know enough to get me by thats about it but if they are anything like computers i would venture that as the problem

Try hboot usb and start adb type push unrevokeds-on.zip that should give you s-on then run the 3.29 Thu that should work

No internet access last night at the apartment for some reason :/. I'll try flashing the PC36img.zip and if that doesnt work i'll try to adb push the s-on file and get it back to total stock to bring it back to sprint.
Thinking about it though, I'm not sure if I had adb access from hboot. I'll update you guys soon.

srry just saw incredible in evo forum. try reflashing your recovery either through commands or a hboot .zip. then flash s-on tool, and try to unroot again through a .zip. unrooting should be the main objective here. then maybe re-root.

thx for the ideas man and your time ...problem is the phone and pc dont communicate,
-im s-on (happened when all this went down)
so i went with RUU renamed..worked back to stock but still same issue
-when i plug it up to pc with it in bootloader i can see the "android phone/android bootloader interface" in pc device manager. when i choose fast boot it changes to adb interface. when i turn phone on it goes away
-adb devices gives me
*daemon not running . starting it now on port 5037*does not see my device
*daemon started succesfully*
list of devices attached
and list nothing
-rerunning unrevoked just says waiting for device
like i said my phone works, IF i turn it on connected to usb then unplug before computer boots all the way ..just no internal/sd memory..
im out of ideas

that is crazy wired. never heard of anything even close to that before. Verizon store?

[Q] EVO 4G won't boot, stuck at HTC EVO 4G screen

Hi, hoping someone can help me. My phone seems to have bricked itself. A few weeks ago i had CM6 on my phone then i reverted back to the stock rom from HTC. The phone worked fine for a few weeks then about a week ago i started having random data connection issues, yesterday the phone started resetting by itself, after the third or fourth reset the phone stopped booting at all. all i get now is the white HTC EVO 4G screen or the bootloader when i hold the volume down button.
Here are the version numbers on the bootloader screen.

i can only get windows to recognize the phone through usb by using the HBOOT USB option and installing the android bootloader interface driver. I don't really know how to use ADB and i'm not even sure if it is seeing the phone. All i want to do it get this back to official firmware.
any and all help is appreciated
thanks.

Well, it's not bricked if you get into that menu. Can you get into your recovery? If so, try wiping everything and reflashing the rom.

No i can't get into recovery, i even tried reapplying clockwork recovery trough there and all it does is install it, say it's installed ok then i reboot and try to go to recovery mode and it just goes to the white HTC EVO 4G screen

What version of hboot do you have?
*Nevermind* Apparently I can't read. xD
What root method did you use?

that's if i even installed it right.

i'm not sure if it even is rooted anymore because i had put the official firmware back on, when i had CM6 installed i used clockwork recovery and unrevoked

well if you were able to install a custom rom like cm6 then you are more then likely rooted. you say that you cant get into recovery? you should just try running the ruu.exe and returning to complete stock and then reroot if you want.

the official RUU.exe doesn't see the phone. when i connect hboot in the bootloader, device manager see's the phone as android bootloader interface and it i let the boot normally and let it crash at the evo 4g screen it show's up as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" and doesn't have a driver. I am running Windows 7 x64

maybe you should try slashing the stock pc36img.zip maybe that will get you back on track.
Edit: this is the link to the thread with the stock pc36img.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791019
and just for future reference. it is not that hard to do a search of the information that is needed. while i was here posting these things i found with the search all the info i hae given. just food for thought.

What caguirr4 said. With that file (or since you have s-off you can TRY getting a rom zip and renaming it to pc36img.zip) your phone will read it automatically when you boot using the volume down technique. That should at least get your phone to boot up and you can continue trouble shooting from there if you have more problems.
Remember: Conserve your battery! You don't want the juice to run out while the phone is in the middle of flashing something. THAT is how bricks are made.

i ran the update you gave me, the phone said that all the stages of the update were sucessful and asked me to reboot, i did so and now my phone won't power on and when i plug it into the wall it won't show any charging lights.

You ran the updates that who gave you? Various things were suggested on this thread.

sorry for not clarifying,i ran the original stock image that was linked to me by caguirr4 in post #9. According to the update it ran fine but after that the phone died when it had me reboot.

Ok, so you press the power button, and it does nothing? That doesn't sound good at all. Hopefully, your battery is just dead and the drivers for the USB port didn't install right. In which case, you need this:

Do you have any extra batteries you can try to make sure that battery isn't just dead?

I ended up taking it to a sprint service center, they tested the phone with thier own battery and the phone was dead. they are replacing the phone for me now. thanks you everyone for trying to help.

I had cyanogen 6.1.1 installed on it and it was was working fine. I just felt the thing vibrate and took it out of my pocket to see the "htc EVO 4G" screen and it just keeps rebooting unless I hold the volume button to get into the bootloader.
I REALLY don't want the stock firmware back on here and would like to avoid loosing root if possible.
I tried putting the PC36IMG.zip from here and at first it asked me if I wanted to flash it and after the first thing it restarted and now gives an error Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Any ideas? I would really like to keep this phone.
Thanks,
Justin

I've tried basically everything I can think of. After attempting to flash the first PC36IMG.zip file I get the main version error for every other one.
Is there somewhere I can get the latest PC36IMG that will be newer and I can try to flash? At this point I don't really care if I lose root (if I haven't already) I just want my phone back.

Just run the ruu.exe and get it back to stock.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I tried that. I even tried flashing the stock PC36IMG.zip (which flashed successfully) but I had the same problem. I finally gave up after like 8 hours of working on it and took it into Sprint. I am going to pick it up at 7. They said if they couldn't fix it they would give me a new one for $35 since I'm out of warranty which doesn't seem bad.

Borrowed Desire won't boot (white screen)

Hi!
First off, I've been searching for the answer all afternoon, but with no luck.
Here's the thing. My GF borrowed my friends old Desire, because her Legend broke.
When we tried to boot it up, it was stuck at the white HTC screen. So i entered Hboot and tried to use recovery with no luck. Recovery was also stuck at white screen.
My friend had removed his SD card before we borrowed the phone. Could that be the problem? Both me and my friend are pretty new to rooting/flashing. All the info he could give me, was that he was running some Modaco rom, and had used Unrevoked to root the phone.
I tried to download a Modaco rom and rename it PB99IMG.ZIP and putting it at the root of our own SD card. No luck.
Then i tried to put the update.zip (CWM file) with the hope that I could then load recovery. Also no luck.
Also tried to plug in USB cable, so that I could maybe wipe phone and install a new RUU. USB was recognized in Hboot (HBOOT USB PLUG status), but no access gained on the computer. I have manually installed drivers.
My friend lives a bit far away. So is there a way I can solve this without his SD card?
Thanks in advance!

bortak> Awesome guide, will check it out right away!

Okay, so now i followed bortaks guide. Created a gold card, downloaded latest recommended RUU, and then ran it while connected with fastboot usb.
At first i had problems when the RUU rebooted the bootloader. The phone shut down and disconnected instead of rebooting. Tried a few times, and finally got the installation to move on by keeping the phone "alive" through pressing vol buttons -although with a black screen.
But by 29%, while updating radio, the installation froze. After some time i unplugged USB and let the installation fail. So now I'm stuck with the four triangles with exclamation marks. I can run the RUU again and again, but it keeps freezing at various stages of installation.
What to do? It's not bricked, so there must be hope?
Can I take a different approach? Through ADB perhaps?
Thanks again!

RUU installation keeps freezing on my pc! Tried to click vol button to perhaps keep the phone "alive", but then I got error 155
Can't seem to find anything on Google about RUU installs that freezes - do any of you know what to do? Can't I use ADB or anything to flash the ROM?

oooh dear you shouldnt have disconnected it whist it was updating the radio.
i fear you may now have a radio brick

So I can have bricked the radio - but the phone will still respond?

unfortunately yes, if you unplug the phone and turn it on, it should boot in RUU mode, at what point does it say FAIL! ?
if it is on the radio, then I'm afraid it's bricked.. if you managed to luck out somehow and it isn't, then you could try again.

When i turn it on, the black splash screen with exclamation marks comes on. If i try to turn it on with usb cable plugged in while running XP mode on virtual machine, i see the white screen with version informations. But it only says RUU with an orange background.
Tried to install the new Gingerbread RUU from the HTC hp, but it still freezes. Think I'm out of luck

hmm... stick your phone in the freezer (in a plastic bag) for 5-10 minutes then try again.
I know it may sound strange.. but it may be overheating or something.

Whoever you borrowed this from will not be happy haha

Which RUU are you trying to install?
I had the same issue when I realised I was trying to install a 2.1 RUU on my desire which was a bit silly, I had identical problems. used the correct 2.2 RUU and all ok

voodooboy3000 - Was trying to install official 2.3 Gingerbread RUU.
elliottg61 - It was crashing all the time when he had it, so he said i could have it if I could fix it. I couldn't

I would give the original firmware a go and get it back to stock. was it originally locked to a specific provider? if not use this RUU

Your not even s-off. How did he use anything to root. Granted my experience is with the bravoC. The GSM I'm sure is different. I would find the newest ruu available and try to flash that from hboot. If it takes forever go away. Don't touch it. Don't unplug it. Don't do anything till its done. If it wont flash after 30 minutes your screwed I think. U can try it over again. But if u have an official ruu it should flash no problem. If it gonna flash.
Try flashing a shooter port on the og evo, or flash a rom on the shooter. It can seem to hang on you for a while but it just takes time.
Edit: try this just rename it and stick on root of SD card and boot phone with volume down and power and then leave it be.
