[Q] Problem with downgrading - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello... well the problem I am forcing with is overhelming me there it goes. I have got the HTC Desire Z unlocked bootloader with HtcDev. I flashed with SenseMOD FlashONE on to it but i forgot to make the back up. The problem is that I wanted to S-Off it but I am stuck with SenseMOD FlashONE and I cannot install any other rom. I tryed everything the recovery yes installs other roms but when I turn them on I get a boot loop... is there any way I could flash stock firmware Thank you for nay help.... Ps: sorry for mystakes English is not my first language....

Htc bootloader unlock is no good, follow nipqer's guide to change this and get s-off. This will be the only way for you. If you have trouble following his guide log onto freenode for real time help

When I already had rooted and s-off I was foolish enough to flash a stock ruu just to try out HTCDEV unlock. But in the end I just relocked it and followed the regular downgrade guide to get back to using eng-hboot. Nipqer is the one person who'll help you on this topic.

Hey mate,
Sorry to hear you are having troubles. There is a thread on fixing the SLCD-Brick here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
I had the same trouble when I was attempting to downgrade my bootloader from 0.93.1 to 0.80 so I could root my desire. The above thread helped me get my screen working again. My experience is on page 12, I had to use the FroYo HTC update in order to get my screen working again. Ensure you get an SLCD enable RUU otherwise you will have the same problem.
I'm so happy!!!!
I make unbrick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the first time did not work ... I tried to alkaline and more, the screen came to life!

[Q] HTCDev Unlock

Hi guys...
I am losing it here....pulling my hair out...
I have rooted and flashed roms on a Gnex and a HTC Incredible S and I have never encountered so many dam problems doing so...
The DHD is a pain in the rear. I have GB 2.3.5 and I tell you what...GRRRR haha
I gave in and went with the HTCDEV (Official Method) and I'd like someone to tell me what the F*&K that actually does....I thought it unlocked your bootloader....nope...
Theres a big UNLOCKED in the HBOOT but it means jack... I can flash recovery, then I try and flash CM7 for example and the thing wont boot...WTF??? So do i still need to go S-OFF anyway?? IF so, HTC WTF??? Whats the point in this stupid "unlocking" crap....so annoying... If anyone could help me understand this I would be much. much appreciative...
Thanks in advance...
you have to get ENG S-OFF before you can flash custom ROMs. Relock your bootloader and use AAHK (search it on Google, attn1 removed it from xda) to get super cid (SIM Unlock), root, CWM & ENG S-OFF
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
You don't need eng S-OFF to flash ROMs, S-OFF is OK. you need to flash the boot.IMG for the ROM separately when flashing ROMs on a HTC dev unlocked device. That's why I doesn't boot after flashing a new ROM. Relock it and use the advanced ace hack kit.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Thanks guys....
*sigh*.... I've been on this now for like 30hrs straight... I actually have root an everything and it still wont s-off.... I'm trying to downgrade now and that wont work either....goldcard and everything... I've looked for the Hack Kit too... I must be looking in the wrong places... I cant find it or I'm just too annoyed to see straight...haha
Just want to say i really appreciate your answers guys...
Sorry, I wouldnt normally ask but I'm just spaced...can anyone point me in the direction of the kit...probably not as its a little sensitive I know...just putting it out there...
Thanks again guys... I feel sort of lost now...like wtf ya know... haha
Cheers.
EDIT:
I did find something and it looks pretty bad...haha (Slow your bootloader??? jam you up?? I dont like the sound of that...haha)
Do NOT attempt to install earlier ENG HBOOTs on these models. AAHK now has Hboots that safely support fastboot image flashing.
Doing this WILL severely degrade bootloader performance on Inspires and DHDs and causes issues trying to install RUUs. In other words, it WILL jam you up. (Note: Issue confirmed on later DHDs – ignore at your own risk).
Sense 3, including those with RELOCKED HTC BOOTLOADERS (NOTE: NOT UNLOCKED – MUST BE LOCKED OR RELOCKED) is auto-detected in hack step. Option is given to download a GB RUU and downgrade or abort. This WILL wipe data.
6 days ago I decided to unlock my phone with HTC dev and I tell you what, that is useless! Fortunately I found a guide that save my life! Firts relock the phone then you have to downgrade with AAHK and finally always with AAHK you can unlock the phone and root it. That's what I've done, that was my first time so I apologize with you if I wrote something that you already know! Sorry for bad English!

QUestion. How do you relock your phone after HTCDev unlock? I love to know because I too ave spent too many hours working on this dam phone...
Anyway a work around for this is to find the rom.img of the rom you want to put on your phone and put it in your pc file where you have fastboot. Then flash the new ROM onto your phone normally. Then go into bootloader, fast boot and make sure you have fastboot usb set up. Then you neeed to open the cmd window and navigate to the folder with fastboot in it anf type in fastboot flash boot boot.img . Once this is done reboot the phone and your new custom rom will work fine.
However if someone can tell me hoe to rook and then use aahk I would prefer o use that and go o s-off....
HTCdev has instructions on relocking the boot loader. Basically the same step where you types 'fastboot oem bootloader unlock' or something like that, replace unlock with lock and it will lock it. If you want to use AAHK to get S-off, I suggest you run an RUU and get your phone to complete factory state before doing it. I don't know if it'll work by relocking an unlocked bootloader, so RUU seems to be the safest method (recommended by AAHK).

How to Root HTC Wildfire S 2.3.5

Hi
I have read all your post and replies. This is not any other post, m posting this after going for hours through your forum.
I have tried the new HTC Any root method, doesnt work. I rooted htc incredible s it rooted it, but with wildfire s it give error of out of memory. i made a space of 93mb in system memory, but still didnt work.
I have tried to update bootloader from HTC dev site, but my software version is 2.26.401.3, and no ROMs are yet available for this.
I have specifically searched wildfire s forum and have tried all the rooting methods but failed.
I have also tried the specific blog for htc wild fire s method but failed.
Kindly advise one method for which i can root htc wildfire s with above specifications.
Or can it be rooted at all?
I shall be very thankful.

Hi Ali well I rooted my wfs yesterday. Here's what I did.
1. Get ur bootloader unlocked from htcdev (just register and start following the steps, *Skip the RUU step*)
2. Restart ur wfs in hboot (by pressing power button and volume down)
3. Select fastboot and enter the cmd instructions.
4. Copy and paste the string and send it to htcdev for ur unlock key.
5. Follow the remaining steps to unlock the bootloader.
6. If. Your device is S-Off then go ahead with the root if it's S-ON then use the universal exploit and make sure that u have the original SD card inserted when using the universal exploit.
Hope this helps

Did OTA brocked my htc one x?

here's the situation
i have recently bought refurbished htc one x
i wanted to update it with offical jelly bean update it showed me
th update downloaded and i proceed to install it, i was a long time on the installing icon so i left my phone, when i got back it wouldnt turn on like the batery was empty
before doing the update it showed around 50% so i wasnt thinking about it, but it seems i died during the update
now - i cannot turn my phone on, its stuck on htc logo, i can access bootloader mode, it says i have hboot 1,12
radio 5.1204.162,29
the bootloader is locked
could someone tell me in simple steps how to bring it alive? is it even possible?
I havent flashed my one x in a while, but try charge it as much as you can while in recovery or bootloader mode.
Then try unlocking the bootloader using htcdev and Hasoons all in one toolkit from the dev section.
That will help you get a custom recovery installed and allow you to reinstall another firmware.
Not sure how much you already know so I apologise if this is basic info haha.
Also dont forget to flash the boot.img if you go with a custom rom
Good luck

Return it for repair if you can. Unlocking bootloader is the hard way out if you ask me.

A ruu might be a way out, but it's a long shot because the ruu doesn't need a unlocked bootloader.

Try this first.
I completely forgot about RUUs. You need to get the one that matches your CID

Sending it for repair isnt really an option as i bought the device and now im leaving the uk.
so they would send it back to me as ill be in another country.
also i opened it as i had the anthena problem but i solved it.
software speaking, as that is the problem, is it harf to fix?
i had couple of androids and customized all of them, but im new to htc and all that ruu,cids...
i dont mind custom rom, right now i just want to recover any functionality.
So if the ruu is the easiest way out is there a newbie tutorial? as i cant find it
and is unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom recovery ans rom is so complicated to other devices?
i dont.know.what do you nean by flashing boot.img while flashing rom
When you run an ruu the computer end of it walks you through what to do. Make sure you have latest version of htc sync installed and do exactly what it says. Also returning it is the best option under normal circumstances. I did exactly that when ota wrecked my shift

[Q] HTC DESIRE - Unroot for a newbie (me)

Hello everyone,
I need to send my HTC Desire to repair.. I have rooted my phone, currently I have Oxygen installed. To root my phone I used ClockworkMod Recovery (I have installed ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7), and I'm trying to get back to the factory settings..
If I reboot my phone in "bootloader" mode, these info are shown:
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Aug 10 2010,17:52:18
I know there are a lot of guides on "how to unroot htc desire", I've googled a lot, but I'm really scared to brick my phone.. So.. I'm here to ask your help to be sure to follow the right steps before proceeding..
A friend of mine has recently tried to unroot his phone running a "RUU..someversion..someradio...exe", but now he's stuck with a black screen with alert images on the angles, and since I was on my way to do the same thing, I decided to be really really really sure to do the right thing..
Any suggestions? Any specific guide I can follow?
If you need more info or more details about my phone, just ask (even if you need to know the colour of the phone, if it helps to unroot properly )
additional (maybe useless) info:
- my phone is unbranded
- I'm from ITALY (I guess I'll have to choose some "europe" ruu)
Thanks in advance, best regards

thanks, I'm going to try it right now.
Anyway, does this procedure remove also clockworkmod and other sw I installed for the phone root?
I thought latest official android version for HTC Desire was Froyo... 2.3 is gingerbread right?
Thanks again for your help :highfive:
It will remove everything.
And yes, 2.3 is GB.
