I have a rooted Desire on Orange UK and running LeeDroid. I have my main SD card and a spare (the spare is used for flashing any roms etc.). I've made both goldcards.
Recently I've had problems with my phone rebooting randomly and today it did the same (been meaning to get in touch with HTC for a motherboard replacement which I've read fixes it). Sometimes when this happens it gets stuck on the white HTC logo and the solution is to pull the battery and then wait a bit and turn on and then it's fine. However today I did just that and now I can't boot into the OS or recovery modes.
I had a generic RUU that I used to downgrade my bootloader previously so I thought running that to flash back to a generic rom would at least get me back to a starting position. However I'm getting the CID error running that, using both goldcards. This would suggest to me the goldcards aren't properly working now!
Obviously not being able to get into anything other than bootloader/fastboot I cannot connect via adb and I also can't attempt to remake a goldcard. The ideal solution would be to get it into recovery somehow just so I can re-flash a rom.
If my phone is buggered then will Orange/HTC be able to tell if it's rooted (I'm guessing they will have a way), or will they need to flash an Orange rom and thus remove the root when that happens? If I have no choice, who shall I contact Orange or HTC? If repair under warranty is unlikely I have insurance so luckily I am covered.
Any advice is welcome. Going to pop out for a bit to calm down my annoyance but will be online again later.

Bump.
Will be returning via Phones4U today, unless anyone can come up with a last minute suggestion.
What errors do you get if you connect via USB and:
adb reboot recovery
...?
Did you run an undervolted/overvolted/overclocked ROM? If it wasn't stable, that will mess your phone up. Qualcomm can easily trace that, Orange can't, unless they refer back to them.
And yes, they will be able to tell if a device is still rooted. Not if you undo it with your stock RUU flash though.

I get the CID error if I try to run an RUU.
I can't get into recovery and if I try to connect the phone using unrevoked/desire downgrade/adb through the command line it either says device not connected or please connect the device.
It wasn't under or over-volted.

the creating golden card is now obsoleted method. It better, that you use unrevoked method to make new HDBOOT from www.unrevoked.com with following instructions. You can root easy and do everything you need only on rooted phone. I will reccomend also and make S-Off for full access in your phone. Everything in one place - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
Enjoy!
Thanks both.
I can't use unrevoked it says please connect the device.

it means, the drivers are not installed. you can take it from
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
and you must read faq http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3
I've used unrevoked before without issue. Tried re-installing the drivers and it didn't work.
Is it because I can only get into fastboot/bootloader?

Nope. Unrevoked will work if your PC can see the phone. So you have a connection error caused either by a incomplete/faulty setup on the PC, or with your USB attachment (cable/connectors/ports).

Thanks for everyone's help. I don't know why Unrevoked could not see the phone then. Had ensured the drivers were installed correctly in device manager etc.
I also have no idea why I would be getting CID failure when this has never caused me a problem previously. My suspicion is a hardware fault so I've sent to HTC for repair.
Got my phone back from HTC today, motherboard replaced
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 !

Hello,
I tried to help out a friend with rooting a Desire Z. He used the guide on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912. He was still on stock and everything and the guide pointed to that to do first.
According to him everything went fine untill he got at point "I - 4a) Manual Downgrade". After reviewing the files he had used it seemed to me that he had used the G2 version of PC10IMG.zip instead of the Desire Z version (could see it when inspecting how large the file was)
He told me that all other steps before (the temp rooting etc etc) was no problem. And after he rebooted his phone the install of PC10IMG started. After the first reboot however the phone stuck.
The situation now is a follows:
* phone does not boot. It gets stuck at the white screen with green HTC letters/logo and then does nothing
- S-ON
- Phone does boot into Hboot (version HBOOT-0.82.0000)
- RADIO-26.02.01.15_m2
- eMMC-boot
I can get into Fastboot and can send commands thru adb to the phone. However commands that try to flash result in a FAILED blabla signature. Probably since its S-ON status
SDcard is recognized (finally) and I managed to make it accept a stock rom. Many other .zips fail. System says no image or wrong image when searching for them.
I suspect the phone has a wrong bootloader (?) and will only accept G2 roms (wich would not be right since its a Desire Z (?)).
Things I tried so far:
* flash a stockrom: It did do something (saw the blue "loading" bar in the bootloader). After it's done it verifies and returns to the bootloader. The I reboot but it still hangs at white screen with green letters HTC/logo
* tried to flash other roms by putting then on the SD. Gives message no image or wrong image
* tried with adb with fastboot. Nothing is accepted.
Is this phone beyond DIY repairs? Advice or tips would be greatly appreciated (since this crap costed me already a full saturday and sunday)
Many thanks in advance!
(PS: I should have the basic knowledge about rooting, adb and such. Also I rooted my own desire Z succesfully already)
use THIS RUU directions will be there
now DOWNGRADE AGAIN which you already know
then follow either THE XDA WIKI or THE CYANOGEN WIKI or STRAWMETALS PDF GUIDE

Thanks a lot for your reply!
I tried what you suggested 3 times and this is the outcome:
The program starts up fine. Checks the phone with no errors. After a few install screens the phone reboots into a black screen with silver letters HTC (same as seen with adb/fastboot I think?). It starts wiping userdata. Then it says "busy sending"; goes all fine.
The it gets to the point sending "signature" (not sure if I translate correct. I have a dutch version or at least the install was in dutch).
And after a while I get:
ERRORCODE: 130 (model-ID error)
Get right updateapplication and retry
during install it said I had image version 1.00.000.0 and asked if want to update to 2.16.531.6
Anymore advice or sugestions I could try?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
[EDIT]
Seems I can go into some kind of recovery mode (choosing recovery from menu >> gives black screen with greenish icon >> gives red triangle
at that screen I do volume + and power and it gives me a menu in wich I can choose update from SD. Not sure if that can help me in any way? Maybe there is some .zip I can install and reset everything back to factory or something?
Tried already to select something there but gives an error:
(in yellow line) E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
Sounds serious tome
Then you'll need the ruu for your model phone, got to HTC.com, find support, look for desire z, then find downloads, follow same steps as before

Tried quite a lot of RUU versions but everytime the same damn message:
ERRORCODE: 130 (model-ID error)
Get right updateapplication and retry
Tried to get unlocked bootloader with the tool from HTCdev but that gave me a message ERROR[191]: ROM not supported
Anything else I can try out? (going to try and see if I can get something of a rom thru a goldcard but my hopes dwindle by the minute
Thanks in advance for any help/advice
[EDIT]
After hours and hours of reading I can only think of 2 things myself:
1. somehow the emmc is defunct (broken or totally messed up beyond flashable)
2. it has a wrong radio version (= bricked beyond DIY repairs as far as I could read)
Therefor I descided to contact a company that can JTAG the phone and restore it to its glory. What is a reasonable price for such?
If anyone else has still some tips I'll keep watch of this thread
You can't use an older version of the software/firmware so you would need the latest from HTC, if the phone already has the latest installed then you would need a gold card to change the cid. Problem is, as far as I know, you need to at least a functioning adb access to make a gold card.
Being its hard to the version that you were running the state your phone is in, my guess you are at the latest ota, so if there was a ruu that came out for it that wasn't an ota then that will probably be the only one that works. Its a long shot, but you could call HTC (don't mention rooting just say you picked up the phone at it was like this) and ask for a link to the latest ruu so you can try and fix it, even if you're past warranty they should point you in the right direction

According to my friend he checked for OTA updates a few days ago (was his motivation in the first place to unroot and flash a custom since he was pissed that his great device didnt get much love anymore from updates and after seeing my Desire working on a custom hehe)
I checked out the RUU versions and also read that they kinda only work if it essentially updates the device (checked the site http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision.
Tried a lot from there but only the WWE versions (CID of gsm was one of those numbers that indicated the gsm is unbranded)
For the sake of it I did make a goldcard and tried to use the extracted rom from an RUU. No luck. It sees it, sends it but fails at checking after that and returns to Hboot. Had a hope that the downgrade (step before perm root) was kinda succesful...
Gonna give it one last try with one of the none WWE versions with the lastest version number to see what it does.
I'll keep you posted!
PS: Damn I wished Gigabyte would make phones! I bet they'd put in some kind of recover rom in case the **** hits the fan hehe
Hello everyone,
I have recently tried to root my phone (HTC Desire HD, no branding, bought in Germany) and it appears that I have messed it all up. I tried to root it using hack-ace.cmd. What first happened is, sinc my phone was running the latest stock ROM (2.3.5) the Hack-ace.cmd said this Android Version can't be rooted and therefore must be downgraded... And so it did downgrade... The phone started up as normal with the new (old) Android-Version. Then I ran the root thing one more time, it said root was complete but my phone still said S-On. Having said that, it seems that the rooting wasn't successful... This not being such a tragedy for me, I gave up the whole deal with rooting or installing custom rooms and all that... But here it comes... My phone won't boot at all anymore. I can manage to get in the Recovery Mode ( vol. down + power button) and I get the options Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset etc.. However, none of it works. When I select Recovery or Factory Reset the HTC Logo shows up, fades out and the only thing I can see is the backlight on a black background. Forever. Can this be fixed somehow, I've tried a RSS.exe with the latest android for my phone but I suppose it needs to be booted in at least some other Android to get the job done. It tells me phone not detected.
For your help I'll be very thankfull!
Like the AAHK website clearly states, it is retired. The files it needs to use to downgrade are no longer hosted on the AAHK server. Is your bootloader very slow? If not, you could try running a compatible 2.3.5 RUU to put your phone back to the way it was. You could also try to root with the Easy Ace Root Tool if you still want root. If your bootloader is very slow, look for the IAMADUMBASS fix on the AAHK website.

Thank you for your answer... I tried going over the IAMADUMBASS (very catchy name), which didn't solve my problem, since I couldnt get the command prompt to find my phone, but then it made me realise the difference between fastboot and the other option was... so i ran the RUU in fastboot mode and the ROM got restored, so it is now all perfect!

Hi, I've got a Desire HD phone which I got unlocked and unbranded from the start and it came with some version of Froyo out of the box. Since then I've updated it through via wifi and currently it's on GB 2.3.5 and after the last update the phone has been telling me that it has no updates available. Furthermore, I have never flashed or rooted this phone so it's still a virgin
Further information on my phone is as follows:
Android Version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense Version: 3.0
Software Number: 3.13.707.4
AND some pics of the specs are in the attachment, please check them out.
Now due to some performance issues I wanted to reinstall either 2.3.5 or lower version of gingerbread or if possible the latest version of Froyo available for my phone. I have already tried restarting, taking out the battery, doing factory reset, wiping the phone and sdcard both from within the phone settings and from the HBoot and Recovery menu as well to no avail.
So I would like to ask you guys for steps and possible links to correct RUU for re-flashing the stock version of unbranded 2.3.5 or lower version of gingerbread or if possible the latest version of Froyo. I don't want to mess with the phone too much by going into the rooting and installing custom ROMS just yet, but that would be my last resort if all else fails.
I'm a newbie so please be gentle in replies
Thanks in advance!
STOP STOP STOP DONT DO ANYTHING!
don't flash any froyo ruu or wwe this will mess your hboot and you'll be in a whole world of hurt.
If you've done a factory reset you shouldn't be having performance issues as that takes you back to factory condition of course.
How ever
Your first course of action now should be goto market and get emmc checker and see if you have the bad chips (sain I think).
If you dont have issue I suggest you do HTCDEV unlock and root your phone or flash a new rom, ive only used SVHD which is ics sense rom which is pretty damn awesome, but im moved on to samsung galaxy s4 (unrooted) now so haven't used newest version yet.
Have a look around the dev forum there are a few really good guides .
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I recommend getting s-off and unlocking the HBoot to get the best performance from your phone. I must say that this is not for the faint-of-heart and things sometimes can and do go wrong .
I bought a second hand Desire HD running stock Telus GB for very little money so I didn't have much to lose if I pooched the phone. If you do decide to unlock the HBoot, make sure you upgrade to 2.00.0029 first.
What performance issues were you having?

Ran that app and it says " Brick Bug? NO. Sane Chip "
So I'm guessing my phone is good, right?
I've been having some major bugs popping up on my phone ever since I upgraded to the 2.3.5 update. My phone camera gets stuck while taking pictures, at times it has restarted my phone when I take a picture, the GPS/Location keeps popping up at every boot and I can't seem to disable it, the Connect To Computer message which used to let me select in which mode I want to connect my phone to the PC has stopped showing up and the phone only connects in charging mode to the PC, the speaker phone keeps turning itself on whenever I make a call or receive a call. I've read up on all these bugs on many forums and tried all the solutions to no avail, I have already done factory resets, battery pulls, cleaning of the usb connector, tried different usb cables on different computers, formatted the memory card etc, but none of these things worked for me.
So I'm left with one choice only, that is to erase everything on this phone and flash a fresh ROM onto it to see if it fixes the issue. And just to be on the safe side I want to install anything lower than 2.3.5 since that's when all these bugs popped up one by one for me. And I don't want to root my phone just yet or unlock it or do any experiments with it yet.
So my question is, how do I backup my current ROM in case if anything goes wrong I could revert back to this one and then how do I flash an official earlier version of GB compatible with my phone and where to get this ROM. Since my phone came unbranded and unlocked, I'm assuming the WWE versions would work well for me right? I once saw in my phone somewhere that it told me I have htc_asia_WWE version on my phone, if that helps. But I would rather get an English only version which has no other language settings in it, like chinese, vietnemese etc etc which my phone currently has.
Thanks in advance!

I guess you could run the RUU but since you think its wwe_asia it will be tricky to get a proper link for your RUU.I'd suggest unlocking the BL and if you're only after the stock ROM, flash Android Revolution HD 6.6, it's stock.First you need to upgrade the HBOOT though, you need .0029 for the unlocking process.You unlock the BL via HTC's site afterwards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38947050&postcount=10
Download HBOOT Update Kit and rom.zip from attachments there.Put the rom.zip exactly in C, and the update kit doesn't really matter, aslong as it's in a folder.Make sure you have your drivers installed, found here , install them.Run the hboot update.bat, but turn on usb debugging first.

I did get a RUU which meets my specs exactly, or so I think:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_234022_signed.exe
I ran it, updated my phone, it's the same version which is already on my phone, it completed without any issues, but the bugs are still there. So I'm assuming it didn't really reinstall the software from scratch, it just updated the software without making much changes to it, pretty much like a factory reset, right???
Can you please tell me why we need to unlock the HBoot??? Is it to enable us to flash custom roms???
What I want to do is erase the 2.3.5 GB software completely from my phone so it has no trace of it, then install stock/untouched 2.3.3 GB or any other GB version compatible with my phone. So please provide steps and insight into this process.
Thanks

I guess you could run the RUU but since you think its wwe_asia it will be tricky to get a proper link for your RUU.I'd suggest unlocking the BL and if you're only after the stock ROM, flash Android Revolution HD 6.6, it's stock.First you need to upgrade the HBOOT though, you need .0029 for the unlocking process.You unlock the BL via HTC's site afterwards.

Download HBOOT Update Kit and rom.zip from attachments there.Put the rom.zip exactly in C, and the update kit doesn't really matter, aslong as it's in a folder.Make sure you have your drivers installed, found here , install them.Run the hboot update.bat, but turn on usb debugging first.

Updated and unlocked my Hboot and now it's on 29 with S-Off.
I flashed CWM recovery, installed SuperUser and flashed the latest version of SVHD and rebooted but phone won't start, after the HTC logo with a white background, the screen goes black as if the ROM can't boot.
Could this be a SuperUser issue or a S-Off issue? I'm not sure if SVHD requires S-On to function properly and it's nowhere mentioned on the thread either.

Never mind your actually s-off...
Did you do full wipe before flash?
Apparently you really should be using 4ext recovery on dhd as clockwork doesnt quite do the job right?.

Choose full wipe in aroma installer. i recommend you to used SVHD 1.70 then upgrade OTA 1.73. does not flash version 1.74. this got so much error.

Flash 4ext, wipe everything and reflash 1.7.0, and then update to 1.7.3.CWM never wiped my partitions properly, it blows compared to 4ext.
