Speaker got off during OTA update - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear gurus,
I am using DHD version 2.3.3 (2.50.405.2), used Advanced hack toolkit with S-Off and rooted. Everything was working fine and I have tried several roms on it.
Yesterday I wanted to upgrade my version to 2.3.5 (3.12.405.1) through OTA update, I downloaded the zip through software update and applied , phone turned off but the updated failed somehow.
I then restarted my phone back and I was on my previous version, everything is running perfectly but I am unable to listen anything from rear speaker , when I put on ear phone I listen everything from it but not from my rear speaker.
When I start music and goto enhancement, it says speaker is out.
I have then tried 2 or 3 roms whether it is a rom fault or hardware problem, but the problem exists on each rom.
Can anyone faced this type of problem ever before?? Or anybody help how to fix this problem??

[Q] Please help!!! MIC is breaked after Update...

Hi ll,
I really out of ideas here .
I was running Pays 1.9 Bravesoul ROM without any issues for about 4 months on my unbranded Desire(HBOOT 0.75)!
Today I decided to update to Froyo.
I used Rom Manager to upgrade to OpenDesire 3.03 and Radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.
Every thing went well, except that I noticed that the MIC doesn't work at all.
Not when I make or receive a call, Not if I try to Mute/Unmute it, Not if i try to Record sound, or Video or WHATEVER!!! The only way the other side can hear me is trough my BT headset.
So I tried to use the LeeDroid 1.7a ROM but same result. Also tried to use different Radio - 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08.
I then Nandroid restore to my 1.9 Pays rom (Wiping Data+Cach+ext), but still doesn't work. I tried different Radios:
32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2
32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2
same thing...
I finally Unrooed my Desire to v1.15.4 Radio 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11 without any luck!
So I'm pretty hopeless Please if someone also have / had this issue, Please share!
Thanks!
sounds to me like it's broken mate
i know it's coincidence that it broke as you changed ROM but if it doesn't work on anything there's no explanation
have you tried a hard reset + clearing caches?
if you have then unroot your phone, put it back to your original RUU for warranty purposes and sent it back for repair
by what do you mean Hard Reset?
I wiped all data, I've changed roms.
Currently It's unrooted...
Is it possible for the Radio update to do this? (all the updates went without a hitch)
Or maybe the OpenDesire ROM (I see that v3.03 is removed, do you know why?) did this?
There is no way it a coincidence. I making phone calls all the time, The update took me about 15 min, after which I tried the Video camera and noticed there was no sound...
Thanks!
well, I noticed that the mic works, but extremely week! I really need to shout in order to hear a whisper... I do this in recording...
I'm starting to believe that maybe it's the mimbrein (Or the piezzo) that is ruined inside the mic...
Is it possible to control the gain in software? (Is there still a chance that the S.W upgrade caused this?)

[Q] Radio Update Killed Handset Speaker Audio

After installing Radio 2.05.00.06.11 (dinc_ota.zip), my handset speaker audio disappears. Speakerphone and bluetooth work fine, but no luck with the internal speaker.
Heres the kicker:
Once I restore the 1.0 Radio, the internal speaker starts working again.
After lots of searching, this seems to be a very intermittent problem. I've only found two other people experiencing the same issue. Unfortunately I have not found a solution.
Does anybody have any idea as to what my next step should be to try and solve this?
Thanks!
I have the same problem...

Try downloading a fresh copy of the update and running it again?
It's working just fine for too many people for it to be a problem with the update itself.

not exactly. but, this radio isnt a image, its a patch. and a double patch is not the same thing... there is no error checking. dont do it!
I've tried re-installing the update 3 times from three sources. At first I thought it was the Froyo update so I went back to my nand backup and that didn't help, but once I downgraded the baseband it magically started working again.
So I tried it again. Re-downloading all the tools and packages. Only for it to happen again right after the Radio update. So I reverted back, cleared everything to factory, did a fresh install, then did the upgrade once more.... Still same problem.
Since it is such an intermittent issue, I'm thinking that maybe the hardware is to blame. The particular handset that I have is a warranty replacement from Verizon (blown speakers on first one). Maybe that has something to do with it.
Anyone have any other theories?
Thanks!
So I'm stumped. It's a pretty straightforward process, and I can't see where I'm going wrong.
Next Step: Warranty Replacement. We'll see if that helps. I'll be sure to record the serial number and other details of the phone before I send it back. Maybe we can find a pattern.
It will be a couple days before the new phone arrives. If you have something I can try, please suggest away!
Thanks!
I am having the exact same problem. I have tried both 2.x radios and both have the same effect. I want to use froyo but the only way to is to use speakerphone or a plugged in headset. I tried to take it in yesterday but the tech at verizonwireless told me to wait it out until 2.2 comes out to see if that fixes my problems. ( went in stock told them I was having the problem on stock radio) final problem being is when official does come out and it kills my headset speaker is it going to be too late to root my phone knowing the replacement I get will already be loaded with the new software.
Chicken and Egg
Unfortunately, unrEVOked has not developed a S-ON patch. This means that you will either have to take stock 2.2 which will be unrootable -or- you will patch forever, have S-OFF, get stock 2.2 and not be able to return the phone if the problem doesn't clear up.
Please keep that in mind when making your decision.
The replacement phone worked...
Not sure what the problem was, but it confirms my method for installing 2.2 wasn't flawed..
Thanks for all your help!

I am trying to get verizon to send me a new one. They are not being very helpful right now. They said the audio issue is a software issue that should be fixed with the new update but might send me a new phone due to number of dropped calls. I have to stop in store tomorrow

[Q] Internal speaker not working after Froyo update

Hello Everybody,
I seek your help,
I have my HTC desire for since June 10, it was with Android 2.1 and was working very well, On the 14 August, I've updated it to Android 2.2 (Froyo) but since then the internal speaker ( the one for hear phone conversations) isn't working any more.
the external speaker (on the back) is working and the hands free earhead is working as well.
I've done a hard reset without success.
Did it happen to any one of you? any ideas how to solve this problem?
same problem
I have the same problem as you with the internal speakers.
in addition my status led doesn't run since the update...
I have the same problem after updating to froyo. Any solutions?
No. I have discovered some other problems. For example the camera suddenly doesn't work and also the ear speaker (for the sound while phoning).
I have sent my phone for reparature back.
Anybody ever hear anything on a fix for this? The "real" RUU for 2.2 ran and put 2.15 on, which now seems impossible to remove. I have downgraded the radio before to fix this problem, but this new radio included in the RUU won't downgrade using any of the previous methods.

Microphone doesn't work

Hello! I have very annoying problem with my Desire - microphone doesn't work. Voice Recorder records just white noise and other people can't hear me.
Phone was rooted more than a month ago. Since then, I was satisfied user of RCMixHD. The last changes I've done (on Sunday) were: update system to v0.12 and radio to 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. I don't call very often, so I noticed the problem yesterday.
I've started solving problem by restoring backup - it hasn't helped. Next I have wiped data, reverted to standard ROM, reset factory data etc. and it also hasn't helped. Next step was downgrading radio to recommended 32.48.00.32u_5.10.05.30 and other older versions. This hasn't helped too. I have tried many times (between the changes) recording voice - sometimes I could hear the recording (with white noise of course) but very quietly.
Today I have unrooted the phone using RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe. Microphone still doesn't work.
Maybe, someone more experienced than me can help? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
PS Phone isn't branded. I've got it since June.
The same here
I have unbranded Desire and facing the same problems and no solution found yet. I contacted HTC and they said that since I used unofficial ROM the waranty is voided and I should pay to get it fixed.
Did you find any solution? Thanks!

Yes run a RUU and don't tell HTC that you rooted your devices.
Thanks TheGhost1233 for the tip!
but I am still would like to find a software solution. I am not sure if its hw problem.
If you revert to stock and the problem is still there it's a hardware problem.
Thanks alot man, I am now reverting to UUR. If the problem persists I will send it to service and tell them that I used a modified ROM if they ask me because in this case I am to be blamed :-(

Problems with audio in calls from handset since changing to 5.0gpe

sorry if this is abit long winded,
hey everyone, not sure whats going on here. this is the tmob variant but i had moved over to a gt-i9505 rom dandroids stock gpe 5.0 back almost a month ago, this was upgraded from jamals 4.4.4 gpe which was working great. i installed the googly 1.2.3d kernel and that was also working well. i noticed that i forgot to fully reset all my storage and noticed jamal brought out a 5.0 rom so i swaped to that and wiped everything about a week ago and at first didint notice any issues.
then i recived a call and answered it on the handset and for the first few mins it was working fine all of a sudden something glitched and i had no audio like the call droped i hung up called back no audio. reset the phone same thing. just a day before this happened i updated the kernel to 1.2.5 googly for gpe5, so i figure this is it so i reflash and reset storage and no change. oddly this entire time there have been no problems with calls when using my bluetooth headset.
long story short i have installed and wiped one about 3 different roms including the dandroid that was working ok. i am now all the way back to the 4.4.4 jamal rom that i was on before i started and the problem is persisting. when i call someone the other party hears a high pitch squealing sound but only via the handset the "ok google" is working fine. i have not restored the nandroid backup yet.
baseband is m919uvufnb4
i have the current version of the twrp as what i have been installing everything from.
happy to provide more info. i know im still on the pre knox bootloader
and when i get home im going to try my wife sim see if that changes anything.
Update
Wife's sim changed nothing
Also wanted to say that I also read about a apn reset trick that was supposed to help. I did fix it one time but it recurred again and and since stopped working
Having that same issue gpe 9505 5.0 no audio in calls unless I'm using Bluetooth no handset no speaker
You guys Ned to update your bootloader and everything will be fixed.
You can only get so far with ancient bootloaders before the wheels come off.

How do you do that
You need to Odin the latest version NK2, you can find it in general section, ShinySide has a mega link to download firmware.
Follow instructions and you will have a S4 that works properly.
You can use chainfire's auto root in original development to root.
