[Q] OTA 2.29.405.2 and rooted with unrevoked - bricked *help*

Hi guys,
Got an OTA message and installed without thinking twice *my bad*
I have stock froyo, rooted with unrevoked. Now the OTA failed (signature verification), I had this issue in the past with the Froyo OTA and the solution then was to disable the signature verification so I did this again.
Install worked but now the phone just shows the "htc" startup screen over and over again (is this a bootloop?)
When I try to boot into recovery I just get a red triangle and an exclamation mark and that's it so I am guessing it's bricked
Anybody any ideas?
Thanks!
B

I would suggest the easiest thing to do is download the 2.29.405.2 RUU from shipped roms and run that.
You will then be unrooted.
You can then check for updates again or root.
Be aware tho, that this will wipe your phone.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the feedback
"I would suggest the easiest thing to do is download the 2.29.405.2 RUU from shipped roms and run that."
can you get me started here... no idea where to start
I did manage to get into the android system recovery, but when I run the update.zip I get a "signature verification failed"
Would it be an option to rename my OTA Froyo zip to "update.zip"?
Cheers
B

Yep, you could try that...
You can find the RUU for your current rom here - http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
If you flash the RUU, boot your phone into fastboot (power + back), connect to PC, wait till it says fastboot usb the run the RUU.

thx!
I just run the exe file then?
extra question: Is this the UK version? I'm from Belgium so I would like to get my languages back...
Cheers
B

Yep, just run the exe file.
The ROM is a WWE which is a European version so should have the languages.
Have you always been on the 2.29.405.2 rom? Or is this different to the original rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

ok I see the fastboot USB appearing but the RUU says "usb connection error" grrr
should I select something from the menu? bootloader or something?
Cheers
B

I don't think you have to select anything once in fastboot.
What version of Windows are you running? Can you try running the exe as administrator?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I'm running XP and I am administrator... maybe something to do with drivers?
cheers
B

You could try installing htcsync if you don't have it already...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Hi Mike,
Installed HTC Sync which installed some drivers... Now I get "HBOOT USB PLUG" instead of "HBOOT USB"
RUU gives same error
I'm gonna get a sd-to-micro-sd adapter tomorrow and try the update.zip thing
Thanks already for the help!!
Cheers
B

Ok, let us know how you get on.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

FYI
I push/pulled the battery and I got back the "fastboot USB" and now the RUU goes a bit further... he sees my image version (2.29.405.2), I select "update" and I can upgrade to the same version... then RUU says waiting for bootloader, the phone goes black with white HTC logo and after about 20 seconds I get again the USB connection error
cheers

Have you tried turning off any anti virus software you have on your pc?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

just found out that I can't do that, I have no rights to disable virusscan (work-pc) I'll try the update.zip
come to think about it, I think I've deleted the downloaded froyo OTA zip file to make room on my sd card, do you know where I can download it?
Cheers mate!
B

Not too sure which update you received but, if you download this...
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
And rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card and reboot your phone into recovery (power + vol down). The file will get picked up and the 2.29.405.2 rom should be installed after following any prompts.
You'll be in the same position as running the RUU but obviously, you need access to your SD card.
HTH

thanks!! will go for it tomorrow... fingers crossed!
B

Was about to say the PB99IMG method is a lot easier than mucking around with the PC not seeing the phone...it should work but remember if you were branded before you will need a gold card

Yep, thanks Eddy.
If you were not on the unbranded rom originally, you will need a goldcard.
Cheers for confirming my suggestions
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

ok downloaded the file, renamed it and put it in the root of my sd
When I press volume down + power I arrive in the HBOOT menu.
After a short while I get following output
loading PB99DIAG.ZIP
no image
loading PB99DIAG.nbh
no image or wrong image
loading PB99IMG.zip
checking PB99IMG.zip
Then I get the question if I want to start update... Off course I selected yes
After the upgrade I got a prompt to reboot and after the reboot I was again in the out-of-the-box status!
Mike thank you very very very much for your help and patience! People like you are the reason this forum is so great!
Cheers!

Try booting the phone when holding volume down OR back and run the RUU again when booted.

I have the same problem... Wanted to revert to stock rom, got the 110 error, tried the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654119&page=16
BUT I can't even boot via "fastboot eom boot".. it fails.. which means i can't use adb, can't get root & can 't flash ....
help please!

Still not able to fix........ Help pls

this may sound stupid, but did you try to just run the ruu again?

I just recently had the same issue and I solved it by flashing the stock hboot
( alpharev dot nl - sorry, I cannot post links) and running the RUU update again

EDIT: !FALSE ALARM!
Using fasboot i flashed a stock hboot and was then able to run RUU. Hope this will help someone else later
I know this is an ancient thread, but I have the exact same issue. My old desire shows little triangles with exclamation marks in each of the four corners of the screen. The only thing it responds to is running RUUs (I get a progress bar on my PC and on my Desire).
I cannot access the boot loader or anything. What to do? I can figure out rooting/roms/partitions etc if I spend 5 hours reading up on it, but I always forget the steps later on, so please be patient and precise if you want to explain something to me
Extra info:
- i made a smaller partition when i last installed a rom
- i have no access to fastboot nor adb
- I'm getting error 152 image update error as well
= I'm pretty sure I bricked my phone, right?

[Q] i think my Desire HD bricked ! please help !

Hi,
I was trying to root my phone with the guide that is on this forum, but then when i restarted my phone, it was stuck on the white "HTC" boot screen. Then i tried to do a "Factory Reset" in hboot and rebooted, and still stuck on the boot screen. I tried to put a PD98IMG.zip as it was prompted in hboot as "no image or wrong file", so i loaded PD98IMG.zip onto my SD card, and still not working. any suggestions ?
my phone is S-ON.

I guess your phone is branded ? If that's the case, you need to follow the tutorial for a goldcard.
Also, if your rom is 1.7x or 1.8x, you can't root it. You have to follow the downgrade tutorial 1st

Mine took 30 mins to boot once. You could try the ruu look in dev section, you just flash it from Windows, then start again. Was your she branded?

I was in the same situation, downgraded ROM and clockwork mod and did a restore and it works fine now

@Howling Wolf - I cannot get the CID for the SD card, because
in the 'adb shell' command, my command prompt says "error: device not found". But i want to know, can i still get the CID through another HTC desire phone ? and can i still update a stock rom with S-ON ? and how do i know if my phone is branded ?
I got my phone from Taiwan, a friend brought it over for me, and when i last checked it was on software version 1.37.921.1 .
@turbo_d - ill try that thnx

did you try installing the htc sync software then do adb devices

ye i did, i installed HTC sync to get the HTC drivers, but from what i noticed is that your phone needs to be "running" instead of being stuck on the white HTC boot screen or even the hboot doesnt pick up the device aswell >.<

Try going into bootloader, and then run adb from pc..

@SAPPH1RE - i tried that but thanks for the help !
ok i acquired my CID through linux, but now its telling me
main version is older !
update fail.
any suggiestions ? my current software version of the phone is 1.37, which stock RUU should i be using ?

If you are on 1.37 you should be fine to continue with getting s-off and such. You don't need to upgrade or downgrade your ROM until you achieve s-off. And then you should upgrade to a custom ROM such as LeeDroid.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

did you get it working ?

I fixed mine a few weeks back by doing a full wipe and then loading a fresh ROM

Thing is, i cant get my phone to start up, so i need to flash a stock rom, so that i can get my phone started and then do S-OFF. But it keeps telling me "Main Version is older!"
ive tried 2 roms already, 1.32 and 1.72 RUU. What could be the problem ?

thnx problem solved, the gold card wasnt done properly, so i re did everything.
thnx for the help guys !

Locked the Phone after offical 2.3 update

Hi,
I have a serious problem and I could not fix it with anything I tried. Today I had the notification of the official 2.3 update for desire hd. I dowloaded it then the phone is stuck at the htc logo. I tried from bootloder to make factory reset recovery and also tried to flash some roms in fastboot mode.
None of them worked.
My first choice is to get back to 2.2 froyo, but I would like to hear recommendations about custom roms, especially if you have any rom advice wihch can increase battery life etc. I am not an expert in flashing roms however I can also consider for a custom rom in the light of your suggestions. Please help it would be much appreciated.
Regards...

is there anyone who as some comments??

Hello, that sounds rubbish Had you been running a custom ROM before? What network are you on?

got the same problem here too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14568001&postcount=12

thanks a lot but in this thread it says that it can not be downgraded if it is 2.37 or higher when i have tried to flash a rom i see that the it is currently 2.37.720.3.
Do you there might be also another way??

somebody please help, i am really stuck and can not find any solution, i started to think the phone will be brick. isnt there any suggestion...

and no one has tried the 2.36 RUU!? (stop trying the PD98IMG's off the SD)

i also tried to flash 2.36 up to 2.37 it also did not work....

Use the RUU and your pc to downgrade it to 2.36, it should work regardless of what you have on your phone.

first of all thanks for your comments.
let me tell you what i have done step by step.
ifound the rom below name specified.
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed
i enter the bootlodaer because i can not get anywhere else. i plug in the usn then select "fastboot" and it show fastboot usb.
then i run the ruu from pc it starts to flash ( it shows current version 2.37.720.3 and will 2.36. etc. )
then black screen with white htc logo comes but nothing moves further and at the end i get the " Custome ID Error "
i do not know may be i am using the wrong rom if you can please provide another link to another rom or may be a different solution with a custom rom...
i am really stuck at this.
thanks in advance...

Customer ID error normally means you need a goldcard

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

thanks for yor suggestion i will definetly try it and give results.
but please excuse my lack of knowledge, according to the instructions i have to use " gold card helper " via phone. my phone is now unusable. i have one android hd2 do you i can create the goldcard on hd2 according to the desire hd setting s and use it on desire hd????
thanks again...

i tried the godlcard solution but now it gave the error 140 bootloader version.
the only thing different than the steps it says chosee mmc2 value but on the goldcard helper i only saw mmc1 and i have sent the e-mail according to that...
what should i do?

does anyone has any suggestion??

since now the bootloader is pooched, you've pretty much bricked the device unless you can get your hands on the original ruu that your carrier uses.

[Q] Problem at startup with DHD

Hey Guys,
I have a big problem with my desire HD. I get it from a friend, he make a update, an after that still boot the DHD only until the bootlogo...
Its all original...with german vodafone branding. S-ON, hboot:2.00 0027...
Problem Vodafone has no RUU Stock roms....I try it with the PD98IMG.zip from a HTC Stock Rom but I get the message in the bootoader after checking: CID incorrect....
So I delete the hboot file in this zip and after checking the zip it comes NO error message, but sadly he get back to the bootloader....so I think that CID request is defined in the hboot file...
I hope everyone can open this file and change the CID to my Vodafone branding (VODAP102) ... i uploaded on zippyshare.
http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/20584566/file.html
Other solutions can be also written of course!
Soory for my bad english
Thanks!

So what is your problem?
Your phone freezes out meanwhile boot animation?
Try boot into safe or recovery mode. Flash a new image and everything should be fine.

Why are you pasting an hboot? that won't help your issue, but will probably worsen it. What you need is to create a goldcard and flash an unbranded RUU.
What update were you trying to flash?

Yes, but I cant create a Goldcard....because my DHD boots only to the bootlogo and then stop it....and next problem.....I have a vodafone mobile phone, and there no exists any rom. in other words all currently available roms bring me the CID incorrect message.
And the update was a official update .....but I cant exactly describe it, cause its not my phone

No. Goldcards are related to sdcard, so one created in my sdcard will not work with yours. Then, you can unlock the bootloader, flash CWM and custom ROM, then from there create a goldcard and flash a ruu.

DHD doesn't boot anymore
Hello everybody,
I'm new around here and also a noob when it comes to rooting Android devices. Anyway, I think I might have screwed my DHD while trying to root it. I downloaded the AAHK and followed the steps. At some point the cmd window showed a message telling me that i have more than one devices connected. I don't really know what I did, but my phone doesn't boot anymore. I mean it shows the HTC logo on the white background, but then it turns black and only shows a picture of a phone and a red triangle. And that's it. Can I still save it? Please, help me!

Did AAHK say anything else? What state was the phone in when you ran AAHK on it (unlocked bootloader, Android version, etc.)? What does the phone's bootloader say? Reboot into bootloader by rebooting while holding down power and volume-down.
