For description of the problem. 3rd post.. Please help me since i need to have a working phone before weekend when i'm moving abroad..
Best regards

your device isnt bricked, people use that term far too indiscriminately!! you just have no rom installed! you cant flash a rom using the standard htc recovery. you have two choices, either put your device in fastboot and flash an ruu or put your device in recovery with the red triangle, and push a custom recovery ........

Hmm okej, well i need to look an RUU file then to see if that works.. I've tried to push files with adb, but since the adb goes haywire when commanding it to push files to the phone and kills itself it seems like I won't be lucky on that front.
I'll try the fastboot method, but if that doesn't work what to do next?
My fault, i have a nonworking desire at the moment and need help to get it working

try this, put your device into recovery and connect your device to your pc, download and unzip the archive below, use a command prompt to navigate to the folder you just unrared, then use the command recovery-windows.bat. that should push a temp recovery to your device, you can now flash a rom

it didn't work. My ADB is not working properly i'm afraid.. It says ADB server didn't ACK and something about runningerror So i can't push the temp recovery to the phone .

use taskmanager to kill all instances of adb.exe or reboot your pc and try again ..... do you have htc sync installed?

i dont know what else to suggest apart from if you have access to another pc, try on that one with the pushfiles.zip i gave you....also if you have a hboot below 0.85, try flashing an ruu from fastboot like i said before

I will do that in just a few minutes . Or else i thought about installing ubuntu on a separate partition and do the adb through there, might help, might not. Thank you for the help..
Fastboot update didn't work, it told me it couldn't update my phone. Don't know if that depends on that i ran image 1.21 and tried to install a 1.15 RUU?

It seems to work now with fastboot and the latest RUU WWE 1.21.405.2
It's flashing at the moment i'm writing this, so thank you and now the thread can be closed.. Looks like i need to root my phone again to get the fully potential out of it.
Thank you for the tips about fastboot and RUU

root and then go to http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ download the reflash tool and flash a custom recovery, then you wont get in this pickle again, cuz you can always flash a rom from recovery i hope your move goes well

[Q] Bricked Desire plz help

hello everybody...
a friend of mine just gave me his desire, he bought a used one and tried something to update its rom, but now its bricked and its in my hand to be fixed.
the problem is that it doesnt boot at all... i mean when i press power button to make it on, the htc logo appears and starts again and again with a little VIBRATE. so i can say that its in a boot loop.
ok when i press vol down and power button it goes into the boot loader, where it is written that its S-ON with boot loader .93, and when i click on recovery it goes into the boot loop like i wrote above.
i also have a Desire HTC and it is rooted using unrevoked and i m running an HD rom over it. its a complete packaged phone...
i have a knowlege how to root and etc. but in this bricked desire case i dont know what to do. coz it never happened to me... i also searched the forum for a solution, didnt got any.
please help me in this matter... ask me question and please give me a solution,/

i tried to install the rom by downloading this RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
i think it is working, but it says while installing that from image 2.33..... to imrage 2.29.... and then it tries to push everyting i mean tryies to run its setup and within 2 min it says Customer ID error, try someother package...
edit 1: i itried your way also by copying that zip file and then pasting it on the sd card... i sucessfully loaded in fastboot but i think the same error as above,,, CID error...
now what can i do?
edit 2: Have also tried unrevoked in fastboot mode... power on fastboot usb and then starting unrevoked, but unrevoked keep saying to connect device and enable usb debugging mode. nothing happens
thanks Hassan

1. Download this:
http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
2. Follow this guide to get the ZIP out of the RUU and flash off the SD card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102
Assuming the phone is unbranded it'll work, or at least get the phone booting again. If it fails flashing the ROM for any reason then it's a branded phone and you'll need to speak to the seller to find out where it's from

but going into vol down and menu and then pressing recovery also enables the boot loop with htc white screen and vibrate on everyboot

I think that easier way not loosing the root would be flash once again recovery were you using clockwork recovery? Beside if the phone is branded you will need a goldcard
so i think you should instal adb http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
then you need to recovery image which you can find here http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...a-recovery-ra-desire-v2-0-1-27-11-2010-a.html
put recovery on c drive sdk folder and open cmd on your windows and put a command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

U can try to put ur phone on bootloader, then plug it to ur pc and run the RUU from windows..It should restore all, after that u can root it with unrevoked and do what u want..

U cant flash the recovery on S-ON desire..maybe worth a try to run unrevoked again and see if its work, but i dont believe

i have written clearly that the phone is not going in recovery nor it is booting in to some sort of rom or recovery that i flash new recovery.but if you tell me or direct me to some tutotial to flash recovery in adb mode, may be i can unbrick my device. but c i cant boot into recovery. i can just boot into fastboot.

you dont need recovery to flash recovery fastboot is the only thing you need

ya boot in fastboot, plug it to ur pc and run the ruu from windows.
if ur desire is S-ON there is NO way to flash a recovery...just unrevoked can flash the recovery if u are S-ON, but if ur phone doesn't boot, unrevoked will not work i think

With ur guide he can run the ruu without stay connected to the pc..but he can flash it directly from the pc (if phone usb work), as is more easy (at least in my opinion)..the phone in fastboot mode is not a problem, as the ruu handle that case

Stuck on bootloop

If anyone would help me urgently I would really appreciate it
This is what happened, I was trying to installed the 3 dot mod from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582506
I initially got these errors when trying to install it
I tried to use adb remount as it said in the guide but it said
remount failed: operation not permitted
I also tried adb shell sysrw and it gives me the following error
/system/bin/sd: sysrw: not found
I have directed the CMD to the platform-tools directory using CD C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
The phone is switched on and USB debugging is enabled, can anybody tell me what I am missing?
P.S. I am rooted and have got SuperSU installed.
Thanks anyone who helps me!

You need to Flash stock recovery before relocking your bootloader...
Open bootloader agine then flash stock recovery then lock your bootloader then try RUU file agine

I done this, worked perfectly, thanks again for all your help , I really appreciate it.
ADB still isn't recognized but Fastboot drivers are working, mods could you please close this thread.
P.S. To anyone reading this, I would highly recommend you don't make the same mistake as me and always leave a ClockWorkRecovery Mod backup in your HTC One X (it's only around 900MB) as it's a very annoying process to get it fixed due to lack of external memory and USB mode in recovery.

nps mate just glad to help ^^,

do you still have the Unlock.ini from HTC?
if you have it then you have to type (in the folder that contains the Unlock_code.ini)
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
if you have not the file then you have to follow the step by step guide here (make sure to select: All Other Supported Models)

Have you installed the proper drivers on your PC?
Before installing RUU, try the command "fastboot devices" to see if it's recognizing your device.
Edit: You'll have to do that from a folder with fastboot in it or you have to have fastboot in your PATH info.

Yeah, but actually this one still seems like doesnt sort out my issue, I did find the right nandroid backup and I would flash it in recovery if I had any..
Don't forget that right at the beginning I was about to go for stock Rom, so I did flash stock recovery and I locked the bootloader.... So the question now is if I can flash again some recovery (which one) while my bootloader is relocked. Or should I go ahead and do relock the bootloader again and than flash recovery...? Sorry but I am still a bit lost, and I dont wanna my HOX to become a brick.... Thx

Looks like you can't go back to stock, there is no RUU, no nandroid backup.
You could still ask if somebody is willing to post a nandroid backup for your CID and version, and in the meanwhile you can unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom recovery and flash a ROM (+boot.img) of your choice that fits your hboot version.
