[Q] Is my phone bricked

Hope anyone can help me. Has soon tried everything without success. Phone is rooted with bootloader 0.80 Radio. 5.09.00.20 March 29 2010 and defrost system version 4.3
Have bootloader 0.80 which says wrong version when booted, and Touch panel fail sometimes. The phone can boot up sometimes, but after 2 to 3 my phone goes black and can only be started up again by taking out the battery. Is there any possibility to get the phone back to the original as it can be sent for repair. Believe, in fact it could be something hardware does not. If it can not be done, can it be made without it costing more than a new phone

Have u tried another rom?
If u want to send it to repair u need this RUU to unroot

I use it to unroot mine, but u need to be sure your screen is amoled, this is for AMOLED screen ONLY

Thanks for the quick reply. Have tried with another ROM without success. Have tried with a RUU. Unfortunately, the phone will not be in usb mode when i try to sync HTC. Windows writes that there is connection to usb port. Can you get RUU in zip format so it can be loaded via Update.zip / recovery mode. The RUU you recommend that can be used for Danish phones. Whew, lots of questions.

Yes u can install the RUU threw Sdcard, try and find a SAPPIMG containing froyo2.2 or u can try and downgrade to 2.1 and see if the phone works properly, i only have links to the 2.1 here u are:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed_txt.zip
1. download the file to SD card.
2. rename to PB99IMG.zip
3. boot into recovery (turn phone on while holding down volume)
4. just let it load the zip file and press yes when asked to install
This will get u back to 2.1 so then u can try OTA updates or running RUU´s again.

Probably u have USB Bricked, look for threads explaning how to fix USB Brick..

Many thanks for your help. Try it during the night. The problems with the phone locks and the screen goes black and can only be restarted by taking the battery out, because it surely wrong bootloader or brincked usb

Have tried to install PB99IMG.zip. Unfortunately, when it only to load up a bit of the column before the phone goes black again, and battery removal to restart. Anyone have an explanation for this. I completely drained of ideas

U seem to have a true brick.I broker my friends magic.

[Q] Bricked my DHD, please help :(

Let me just start off by saying poop.
I've been reading up on these forums quite a lot, equipping myself with enough knowledge to get going on using this phone to its potential.
After the anticipation of getting my DHD, I went about rooting it. I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076.
Everything went fine without much trouble. I completed all the steps in rooting it and gaing SU access. Also installed the Clockwork Recovery mod without a hiccup. I went on to install the Android Revolution ROM and going through the guide I used a tool called: 'Easy Wipe Upgrade.'
After installing this zip, the phone reboot and it just refuses to budge. Stuck on the HTC splash screen.
I've held down the bottom volume button with power and it gets me into HBOOT. I've tried a variety of option such as factory resets and nothing seems to be working.
My luck and phones. Just have a very expensive brick now sitting on my desk. Ah
I'd appreciate any help I can get please. Thanks.

I managed to resolve it!
Just FYI. Mounted the USB (Which was hidden fairly deeply) I guess you don't look when you panic? I then dropped on the ROM and installed it and boot up took a while but voila, it worked!

Well done, I would go mental if I bricked my phone. That's why I am still just reading up rather than trying things.

in the exact same situation as you where Could you go into abit more detail how you resolved this? currently have no phone cheers

whats wrong with your phone mate

Just so you know, as long as you have access to the bootloader (can be stock bootloader with S-ON, doesn't matter), 99% of the time you can 'unbrick' your phone by installing a stock RUU (PD98IMG.zip method) which returns your phone to complete stock.
If you install the wrong RUU while ENG HBOOT S-OFF then you can potentially fudge up your phone for good (unless you have Radio S-OFF, then you are fine - just install the correct RUU).
So don't worry, because there is nearly always a way to go back to how your phone was before you started hacking it.

hey guys, hope u could help me out.. i tried this RD1945's method.. got an ruu file, renamed the ruu file, then i put it on my micro sd card using a reader, then i plug it back in my phone, run hboot, the hboot parsed the zip file which i renamed according to the steps.. after it parsed it brought me back to the fastboot, recovery, restore factory defaults menu, etc... which i then chose fastboot then reboot... it reboots but im still stuck at the htc white splash screen for some time now.. what am i doin wrong? does it take long to start? sorry im a noob can someone explain to me how its done properly?

You are not supposed to rename the RUU file, rather you run the RUU file and then afterwards locate the ROM.zip file located in your temp folder. This ROM.zip file is meant to be renamed PD98IMG.zip, NOT the RUU file.

ok that was stupid of me.. ok will try to give it a go..

sorry if this sounds stupid to you again.. but, i just wana be sure.. its my first smartphone..
anyway, i run the ruu file on my pc, yeah? so then when i run it, it asks me to connect my dhd using the usb cable.. so i did... but it couldnt detect my phone.. thus, it couldnt continue it's setup.. ;-( thank you for helping out..

Make sure you install HTC Sync, it should also install all the DHD USB drivers needed.

hey, do you have any step by step guide on doing this? im afraid il do something wrong again and just risk messing up the phone even more..
i have htc sync and the htc drivers on my laptop but when i connect the usb plug to my phone and try to run the ruu.. it still gives me the prompt of no connection from the pc and android phone.. :-| what am i doing wrong? sorry...
thanks in advance for the any help!

i managed to get to the update part.. but now it prompts a 131 error message.. :-( help?

Never heard of this issue. If i got u correctly, screen goes black with soft keys flashing means screen displays as if opened a black picture. Hboot options inaccessible. Was the os getting booted or not. Check it by making a call to wildfire from other phone. Is ur phone s-off by xtc clip.
Anyway cannot tell u the solution. But coming to the possible ways, u have RUU method and PC49IMG method. And warning, donot upgrade to the official froyo if u r not on it.

sir im using cm7 and my phone is rooted i remember the last time i used my phone is i download some apps in the market then somebody calls me when i pick up my phone its already a black screen and the 4 buttons on the bottom are just flashing so try to pull out the battery it doest open anymore...

and sometimes i can access on hboot but my phone usually hangs...pls help

Just to be clear: your phone gives the same symptoms (black screen, flashing input buttons) in hboot mode?

sometimes i cant access on hboot i should try so many time if some i got luck i got an access it usually hang help....

I suppose you have preformd a nandroid backup somewere in the proces of you installing CM7 and you have Clockworkmod recovery due to the rooting process by unrEVOked.
Try as many times as you need to boot into hboot, and once there, navigate to recovery. In there you can put back a nandroid backup. In my oppinion, that should fix it.
If you no longer have a nandroid backup, just "reinstall" CM7 trough this recovery as you did the first time.
Erwin

I guess if his phone was s-off, then something error might have happened to the partitions which might be causing the issue. Because problem with access to hboot menu is not related to operating system.
And maybe if what I thought is correct, then an eclair RUU might be the solution (some solution which overwrites all the partitions). But nothing sure.

Very true, but shouldn't the problem (inaccessable bootloader) manifest itself every time, and not most of the time?
Just brainstorming here, not saying right or wrong ;-) in contrary, I think its a good thing to try!

dare i say could it be a hardware issue?

last night i got luck to wipe all the data and my phone went back to a stock cm7 2.3 but after several min my phone turns blank again now i cant boot on hboot if i got lucky to enter hboot it hangs again

what do u mean by stock cm7.
As im not using custom roms, this seems something strange and confusing to me.
AFAIK, wiping the data clears the.custom rom.
And u forgot to tell ur hboot version and secure flag (see those in hboot menu). Whats ur hboot version now, and have u used xtc clip to make s-off.
[anyway i think there will be no harm on flashing merely the RUU. So, i think u can make a try of eclair RUU of ur region which has the Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25 might be a hope]

bro i didnt used xtc clip my phone is already rooted im in cm7 nightly build how can i use ruu?and how to use it?i cant even boot on bootloader.....

and when i press now on volume down+ power nothing happening i cant go to the hboot....

Not sure of anything now. As u said u havent used xtc clip, ur phone will be s-on.
U said that when u faced the issue for the first time, ur phone screen went black on incoming call. That means there os is booted. If it is still the case, I think u can go with RUU, but not sure whether it works or not.
And RUU is an exe file to be run on windows pc connecting the wildfire in charge only mode. It is used for flashing the os. If u want to make a try with the ruu, u can download it from
www.shipped-roms.org/shipped/Buzz/
There u should download ur region eclair ruu which has radio version (u can see radio version in the file name of ruu) same as I mentioned in above post. And pls donot download froyo ruu.

do i still need to install htc sync????

Htc sync is not necessary if u have installed htc usb driver which will be 13 MB size. Anyone from those two will be needed.
And as there is no phillipenes ruu, that wwe ruu might be the option for u.

HTC DESIRE unroot with RUU 2.3.3 failed

Hi guys.
I know there are several posts already opened about this, but I`ve tried all I read there and nothing worked.
I wanted to send my rooted Desire back for repairs(camera LED broken thanks to a Torch app), and wanted to unroot it before I do.
I`ve read on some posts that u can unroot the phone by running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU found on htcdev.com (the official RUU), so I downloaded the RUU, installed hTC Sync, installed the Desire`s USB drivers(the same one`s that are required when rooting with Revolutionary).
The RUU started installing, the phone rebooted into the HTC splash screen and the "update" of the RUU started going, both PC and phone showed the cursor of the installing process, and at about 90% the PC gave me an error (update error).
I`ve tried again and again to run the RUU but everytime, it failed. And now, my Desire just won`t boot. I`ve taken the battery out, put it back, turned it on, and the only thing that appers on the screen is the white HTC logo on a black background, with 4 icons in each corner of the screen(looks just like the icon that appears when u plug in the usb cable with USB debugging mode ON).
Volume-down+Power and BACK+Power don`t work anymore, even though I press them, the phone just simply ignores the keys and takes me back to the before mentioned hTC splash screen.
I know this is probably something I did wrong, but if there`s any one kind enough to help me out with this, I`d deeply appreciate it.
Thank you!

It doesn`t say anything.
This is what I do:
1. Take the battery out.
2. Put the battery back in place
3. Try turning phone on using: Volume-down+Power -> the phone doesn`t show anything, it simply takes me to the HTC logo(white HTC logo on black background. It does the same thing if I turn it on using BACK+Power)
If I try running the RUU again, the installer gives me the next message: Error[152]: image update error.
From what I`ve read, this is a radio error which can only be fixed by hTC. Could that be true?
Also, after the RUU gives me the above error, if I unplug the USB cable, the phone shows following:
*************
RUU
Radio_V2 - OK
Splash1 - OK
Recovery - OK
Splash2 - OK
Radio_cust - OK
Bootloader - Bypassed
Userdata - OK
System - Fail-PU
Boot - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
*************
I have the Alpharev CM7 r2 bootloader.

even if it is its covered by htc warranty so don't worry about it

I don`t think it coveres it, as the Alpharev CM7 R2 bootloader still shows.

oh you're still S-OFF?
You're automatically in fastboot when you turn on since your phone is like that so just turn it on, plug it in first flash this and then flash this, Then run the RUU again.

Yes, I`m still S-OFF.
How do I flash them if I can`t access recovery using Volume-down+Power or BACK+Power?
I`ve downloaded the first one, renamed it into PB99IMG.zip, put it on root of SD CARD, turned phone ON and it takes me to the same htc logo screen as before.

Tried with Android Flasher, but it gets stuck when trying to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img that u`ve given me.
So basically, I can`t enter Clockworkmod, I can`t enter the bootloader menu by turning on phone usine Volume-down+Power / Back+Power, and the phone is stuck in the HTC logo, while still S-OFF-ed, also the 2.3.3 official RUU gives me the error at the end of the installing process.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do?

Bortak, one million thanks for the help, patience and the time you`ve wasted.
I managed to pull it off in the end.

I have the exact same problem as i_cs_u.
I tried to use an RUU to install 2.3, I have alpharev cm7r2 installed and I get stack on the same step as i_cs_u. I successfully flashed bravo_alphaspl.img with "fastboot boot bravo_alphaspl.img", but which partition do I flash bravo_downgrade.img to?

Flash bravo_downgrade.img and then the RUU.

He probably figured out that he has to use the fastboot flash boot *name of img* command or Android Flasher on that screen with the 4 ! At the corner instead of renaming to PB99IMG and attempting to flash it on the phone.

my desire hd cant boot stuck on htc logo and then screen is off. when i push in recovery mode its again screen off. it caused by aahk hack again after rooting.

If you can see recovery, then I'm guessing you can get to hboot. Put your stock p98img file on the root of your sd card as update.zip.

relisys667, the HACK KIT didn´t do that....if you messed your phone it is your fault not the Hack Kit.
Maybe, you didn´t read the troubleshooting section or didn´t follow instructions....read the manual and you will find the solution...for your description and lack of information I can just realise that you are not S-OFF or the CWM was not installed....
And you don´t have to open 2 threads on the same...with just one is enough.....

This doesn't make sense. I'm assuming you're saying that you still can't fix your phone. Can you see hboot? if you can see hboot, then go to fastboot and let it flash away.
It sounds like you're trying to go to your recovery partition which you successfully sent to never never land. hboot > fastboot > load stock p98img. Flash it, and start over.....

thnx sir when i go on fast boot screen become dim in lining and off same in recovery mode
