Good afternoon:
Recently my sister in law gave me his Desire so I could take a look at it.
She says the phone started to freeze a lot and random reboots. Then the phone won't switch on at all, when it did it showed a white screen (I suspect she talks about the bootloader one). Next the phone never booted again, showing the htc screen with four exclamation triangles in the corners.
She is not an experienced user at all, the phone is a Vodafone one, unlocked.
It had the latest Vodafone stock rom installed. The phone doesn't have root, S-OFF or a gold card.
I tried to flash it with the latest Vodafone UK ruu and the gingerbread one from Shipped Roms and it fails with an error 152.
If I flash those roms with fastboot I get a FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail).
Both methods give me a RADIO_V2 - Fail-PU.
We can't send the phone to HTC because the company doesn't even exist in Argentina. Also the phone its from Spain, so we have no warranty at all.
Is there any hope?. I've tried searching the web but I had no luck.
Thanks in advance.

It's a radio brick. Contact HTC for warranty repair is the usual response....
No s-off, no fix

Thanks man. If it supports latest boot loader, perhaps we have another chance.
@stumpyz9: Don't worry, phone is not under warranty, and we don't have any HTC service in Argentina ^^.

We have nothing to loose. Afterall the phone cost her nothing.
I enjoy doing this type of job, so it will be fun.
Well you can't s-off because it doesn't boot. The only fix would be HTC.
You could try flashing a RUU from fastboot....

Flashing from fastboot gives me a remote error: FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail).
As I said we have no HTC repair service in Argentina.
All I can do is triying to fix it through the computer or throw it away u_u.
Can't I erase the radio and reflash it?. Do I need S-OFF to do that?.
can u flash a recovery
yah s-off would be required, but thats kind of impossible, and if your gunna throw it away you could always send it to me lol, i love to take **** apart
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I know you have no HTC. But that is only option.
Throw it in the bin or sell for spares maybe then. You can't fix broken device without s-off, you can't s-off without working device.
Even if s-off, fix is very unlikely. HTC swap out the mother board when this happens, so nothing you can do

lol
You will laugh a lot when you know how I fixed it.
I had another Desire with its digitizer cracked. It was from a friend who dropped it.
I just swapped the motherboards.
The dissasembly and assembly videos in Youtube were very usefull .
It was a lot of fun.
Thank you very much for all your help .
A good question
Wait a minute, how she can prevent this from happening again?.
She just was using his phone as a normal user. The phone was plain stock.
Excellent.
Well you can't prevent it if she didn't.do anything to cause it. It was probably destined to go faulty from the start

Quickest, most simplest way to achieve root and s-off is by using this method http://revolutionary.io/

Well, thanks guys.
Should I S-OFF the "new" phone?. New motherboard is from an almost new phone.
Just in case this issue appears again in the future.

I'm just been very cautious don't want to brick my HOX.
I'm surprised no-one has yet done a full unroot tutorial.

Re-lock bootloader
Hi guys!
I just got my one x today, and i really want to root it and install some roms on it. I know that you lose your warranty by unlocking the warranty and rooting it. But if you re-lock the bootloader and unroot it. Will you "get back" your warranty, can HTC see that I unlocked my bootloader prior to that?
If you root your phone with htcdev you loose your warranty permanently...

HTC can see that it's been unlocked; the bootloader will show 'relocked' rather than 'locked'.

Slightly different topic:
I bought my phone unlocked. Near as I can tell, the bootloader has always said *** unlocked *** at the top since I purchased it. I honestly don't remember for sure.
I did go through the process of using htcdev to 'root' it anyway to try out some ROMs. So, it definitely says unlocked now for sure.
I'm going through the process of returning it to stock now. If I relock, isn't it going to say "relocked" instead of unlocked? Is it even possible that my phone came saying unlocked?

and never charge
gust hboot or fastboot
and when i want to unlock it again to boot it
the fast boot sais (low battery)
and i cant do any thing now :crying:
please HELP :crying:
This question has popped up many times in this forum. Remember its forum rules that you have to search before you post a question. It is quite likely that this has already been solved somewhere else.
Since there is already a thread started now I guess you could try my solution . Turn the device off and Plug the HTC One X into a power outlet using the HTC charger given when you bought the phone. At 30 percent you phone should turn on. Then enter Fastboot and leave the phone for a while.
Remember to make sure your phone is charged before you flash anything. Pernament damage is possible.

First off I have already gone through the 70+ pages of the related thread BEFORE thinking of posting, just so everyone knows I am not being lazy. I still am having trouble rooting my HTC One X. I followed all the steps in the one click method. I do not have HTC Sync installed, and so no need to disable. I have updated my drivers with the link provided. I try and end the adb process, but it shows up twice for every time I cancel it lol.
Everything goes fine until the script starts, and it fails to install anything, everything it tries it says fail (I am including a capture so you know what I am talking about. After the phone resets, even though nothing installs, my phone runs script up the right side of the screen, taking up the right half of my phone. Any help is appreciated. Hopefully the pic uploaded, this is my first post...don't hate

You have no clue what so ever what you are doing, please read and learn first. You are not ready for this.
Is your bootloader unlocked ? What did u try to do and where......and please answer the questions clear !!!
Unless you've heard of htcdev.com and unlocking your bootloader with an Unlockcode.bin, I seriously urge you to STOP right here before you potentially damage your HOX

Hi all,
I just joined this website. I got a HTC Desire HD, with Cyanogemod from this website cyanogenmod.org
Since yesterday its stuck in boot screen. The cyanogenmod booting animation keeps going forever. I got into the recovery mode once, and somewhere on another forum someone wrote that I had to click Fastboot. But now I cant get into recovery mode anymore, and my phone wont boot too.
What can I do to make my phone work again?
All help is highly appreciated!
Please provide what steps you followed before current state of phone, are you s-on or s-off, bootloader unlocked or not etc. So that it will be easy to understand the state of ur phone and helo

Hey ramdesai,
I really appreciate your post(and it was really fast too). It was a long time ago that I put Cyanogenmod on my phone, and I used some tutorial to do it. I think this was the tutorial that I used. I also don't know what s-on or s-off is. techgeekal.com/2013/01/14/cyanogenmod-10-1-jellybean-4-2-1-for-htc-desire-hd/

Are you S-OFF or have an unlocked bootloader? if you don't know that then I suggest you do some reading first. There is a guide in my signature where you will find all that stuff.
Check the hboot and see what it says...it is not the same installation for S-OFF than being unlocked

Hiho , i have a problem that my DHD wont start anymore after installing the newest update of the Jelly Time ROM.
USB Debugging is off and i cant turn it on and fastboot was allready on before i flashed it.
If i connect the device to my PC the CWM starts but i cant select wipe/factory reset by pushing the power button because the device will boot then.
