Hi,
Why did you go to recovery? Have you unlocked and rooted your device or not?
(In case, what is displayed on your HBOOT menu..?)
If you want to root your phone just refer here :
It's an easy & long process, if you understand well...
http://androidforums.com/wildfire-s...ow-root-wildfire-s-s-finally.html#post3785547
After rooted, you can install ClockworkMod Recovery, thereafter only you can go to recovery option and can take backup or flash anything...
without these it's hard to answer.....
Hope this might be useful (If really press 'Thanks").
I tried that one also but the result was that when i go to recovery mode the screen goes Black and my keys are lightning i left it for couple of minute but still no response and again i have to remove the battery and the turn my phone on again

Okay, so now you need install CWM here a litle guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL62BUZjmgw
then find superurser.zip in xda and install it with Cwm here how to do it : install zip from sd card -> choose zip from sd card -> choose you superuser.zip
If u have the black screen recovery problem then don't try these recoveries as it is a waste of time. I too have the same problem. Our phones have some change in hardware which is why we can't view the recovery screen. Let's hope the problem gets fixed soon.

I'm really not sure what was changed yet or why given the dangers of platform fragmentation but, it has most certainly lead to some issues. Presently I'm not even sure how to differentiate these devices as they report back with all the same identifying information that the original A510e does. There is a discussion here where some other users with the device and I are trying to gather enough information and interest to diagnose the problem and correct it.
thanks but keep it up

It would appear the problem isn't that unique as multiple users are facing the same issue. Platform fragmentation is hardly a new issue (the dream/sapphire platform is absolute hell) I just didn't expect it to be completely silent. I first heard about it from users asking if my port of TWRP worked with these devices. As I'd like to be able to offer a complete port for every HTC Wildfire S and I'd like to see the issue resolved. I'm sure many of the ROM developers working on incompatible CM7/CM9 and AOKP builds would like to offer software for your devices as well so hopefully there will be enough support to get this resolved. The trick right now is finding the root of the issue so that it can be mended.

First off, Yes I have searched more than this site for an answer to the point where my handset would not do anything but go into the recovery menu.
What I want to do is put stock HTC Android on my Desire.
Currently it is rooted but has to be un rooted to go onto works E Mail server.
The handset is a GSM HTC Desire (Bravo)

I have tried several RUU's only to be told of a boot loader error.
Can some one please tell me how this is done?
I asked my network and they could not help so unless some one can help me im going to have to ask HTC.
THANKS in advance

Hi,
Is your phone branded?
If so to get it to stock u need your operator´s RUU, or a gold card to run the HTC one.
not branded try the last WWE launched to Europe u can find it here : http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Wrong forum, it should go in Q&A
1. Wrong forum... You even mark your title as a question. Then why not put it in the question section, as it is clearly not development?
2. You problem is, that you have to choose a ruu with hboot version 0.93 or above(as for now i think 0.93 is highest). You cannot downgrade hboot officially! So chose the latest one released, and if your phone is branded, you need to be lucky and find the branded rom or you'll have to use a goldcard.
3. Being able to log onto your firms email server has nothing to do with rooting i promise you. There is no difference in the way it would log on. That is only managed by the app you use to log on. Unrooting will only make fixing the actual problem much more difficult, as you cannot change a thing on the system.

I would be inclined to agree with both points. Rooting will do nothing to affect your phones ability to log on to an e-mail server, the server doesn't collect any information about your phone and refuse it on the basis that it has, essentially, an 'app' called Superuser installed.

Posted reply in the duplicate thread
I am not sure this is the place to post this but I certainly hope so.
I have researched the matter a little before posting.
I got my Desire from a friend. He has been using it for over a year.
Seems he didn't modify anything and it still has the original system but am not sure. If someone can tell me where to find this info...
If I leave the phone on without using it it stays on but if I use it, like browsing or gps or any other program, even just downloading stuff from MArket, the phone restarts after 15 minutes and if I don't take out the battery for a few minutes it loops restarts.
Once the battery is removed for a few minutes the phone restarts normally.
from what I read it may be a problem with the board heating?
Is there a way to test that? to diagnose a phone?
Thanks for any help
Hey mate,
If you're running on a stock rom there's something wrong with the hardware. Unless you've got all the spare parts you can fix the phone yourself, otherwise it has to be repaired. Soz
How do I know if it is a stock Rom

Generally you can tell by going to settings/about phone and looking at the software number and kernel version. If you see any strange names in these areas, like Nova-lite, Grim Reaper ver 1, etc, it is generally a modified rom.
Also, you can look in your apps for an app called Superuser. This is a sign of a rooted phone.
Additionally, if you power down the device, you should be able to boot into Recovery (if it is installed), by holding Vol- and Pwr. If you get into the boot, and select the "recovery" option, and you get a display with options like Install zip from SD, Wipes, Formats, etc, then this is a custom recovery.
My guess, would be, if the device is stock, Run an RUU Rom, and see if it will install a fresh OS. This may fix your issue. Corruption in the OS can definately cause the issue you describe.
The best sign should actually be to boot into bootloader (power off - HOLD volume down + power until white screen pops up) In the left upper corner it should say like:
"BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON". If it says "S-OFF" your phone has probably been rooted before

True true, back to S-ON is possible. If the phone has been rooted or not before can be hard. Anyone can tidy up a phone but I suggest he roots his phone, flashes gingerbread RUU and then try again. One moment, I'm going to find a link for you m8

Also, don't throw your money away, alpharev are one of the first bravo HBOOT flashers. This is taken from their site: [/QUOTE] HTC implemented security on their newer generation phones. This flag, called @secuflag, controls whether your phone has it's NAND or flash unlocked. Most noticeably, S-ON (security on) will read-lock your /system and /recovery partition, to name a few. Also, secuflag controls whether zip files being flashed through recovery or fastboot, are signed by HTC.
The now notorious S-OFF (security off) will disable this NAND security. Since we are unable to access the Radio NVRAM itself (where secuflag is stored), we turned our attention to HBOOT.
AlphaRev has patched HBOOT images for several phones, whereas the HTC Desire (GSM) was our first victim. [/QUOTE]

Go to settings -> about phone and tell me what android version you have ( 2.1 / 2.2 / 2.3 ). I will give you a link as soon as the HTC developer site is back online. The tool I will get for you will flash your phone with Gingerbread (2.3) legit

NEVER do that, or you'll have to downgrade later.
I had similar problems with my stock desire, update fixed it. So it might not be hardware related. Try rooting and using a custom rom and see if it persists. If so, it ist hardware related and you'll have to send it in (unroot before), if not, it's software and you can just keep your custom rom.
And, before you ask, there are ca. 100 threads on what the best rom might be. Just try any one from the Desire Index (sticky in dev section).
As you said, it might not be hardware related but what does it matter? If the official update doesnt help and he has to root it, it won't matter since he's able to flash stock roms then...
Sent from my HTC Desire
He will certainly not brick it with the official update and it's a lot easier to skip the rooting part if you're not common with it
Sent from my HTC Desire
If you want to flash the official gingerbread rom from HTC click here: http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152 . This will surely NOT brick your phone. It's the latest official for desire too.
Sure it's not a particular app that's causing it? Also, perhaps underclock the CPU and see if that improves stability. If it's anything like desktop processors, they can degrade over time and cause instability (usually more noticable when the CPU is heavily overclocked, but it still happens regardless)
Ah well,i thought you meant unlocking the bootloader through the htc tool. For that is definitely not recommended. RUU should be no problem.
Btw, there is a reason for an edit function.

You need to do the following:
-Flash stock recovery image
-Relock bootloader
-Flash correct RUU for your version of HOX
Why are you wanting to go back to stock?
Can you please explain me the whole process and will it void my warranty?

HTC would never have said that re-installing the OS is the solution to anything. The most they would have said would be to do a factory reset.
Please explain exactly what you have done to your phone so far. You need to be more specific otherwise we can't help - we are not mind readers here.
They said so actually I cannot play any videos on my phone not even videos recorded by its own camera..sometimes mp3 files too struggle to play. Factory reset has not helped hence they said they have to reinstall the OS.

Hello fellow hox xda people... I am very stuck in this situation, gutted because I love my hox.
It started when I lost my phone signal for a few hours.. stupidly in a panic I tried to flash stock recovery to try and fix it.. then I noticed my imei and baseband showing as "unknown".. I have relocked and run the ruu but the problem still remains.. I fear u have somehow corrupted the radio partition...
It isn't the sim because that works in another phone, I have tried another sim but still no signal.
I sent it to HTC to repair under warranty but because it had been relocked the won't touch it without me paying £150 to replace main board..
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?
I am waiting for the next official update to come and see if writing the new radio will fix it...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Seems like you've screwed your IMEI. This happened to me on the SGS2 where my EFS got corrupted luckily I had saved my EFS and managed to flash it back.
Not sure if this method also applies to HTC products, or it could be your phone has a hardware fault. If they are trying to charge you then nothing you can do I'm afraid then just cough up especially if it is a corrupted EFS.
Edit : EFS only applies to the Samsung phones, seems like your radio is screwed, if you still have your phone there is a radio thread on the development section, flash a radio again and it might just restore it back.

Just relock your bootloader, flash with an RUU (branded or unbranded) and everything should be fine. This kind of thing happens once in a while. It happened with my S II and Sensation back in the day

That's very odd. That's what I've always done when my IMEI or baseband goes missing. Flashing the official OEM ROM usually writes the ROM, kernel and the baseband if I'm not mistaken. Kinda like when you flash a OEM firmware to the iPhone. It writes over everything hence why you have to use a custom ROM that doesn't update the baseband if you want to preserve your SIM unlock.
I installed Android Revolution HD 7.2.1 the other day (nice ROM by the way). Decided I wanted the benfits of Francos r12 kernel. Flashed it and then had no GSM signal. Baseband and IMEI were both unknown. Thought to myself "f*^k here we go again".
Downloaded this. Went back into the bootloader. Relocked it via adb. Then whilst still in the bootloader, I clicked on the RUU that I downloaded from here.
Once everything booted back up, had GSM, IMEI and baseband back. Proceeded to unlock the bootloader and flash ARDH 7.2.1 again but left out Francos kernel for the time being lol.
More for the legal heads etc. here, but HTC-Dev's website states:
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.
If you should require support, please feel free to contact us via the support section of our website, http://www.htc.com

It specifically says security is left on to protect the radio etc. - surely this should then be covered by HTC as, according to them, there's no way we could break it. The way I see it, either their 'security' didn't work, or the problem isn't caused by a bootloader unlock?
Hahaha! I couldn't help it. I just had to flash Francos r12 kernel again and what do you know? No IMEI and baseband. All good though. Restored from a nand backup I did earlier this evening and all is well again. Downloaded the kernel again just to make sure the md5 wasn't bung, flashed and same thing happened again. So when you get your HOX working again, don't flash Francos r12 kernel lol.

I have read threads that suggest that I have to make a Gold Card form the country of origin and make of the phone, being in the UK this is not an option for me.
Does anyone know how I can save this phone please ( and if possible giving instructions understanding that I am unable to see the screen), I have access to a computer and have Android SDK (and Fastboot installed), I also have the HTC driver installed on my computer, but neither the Adb Devices nor Fastbook list the devices when connected to the computer.

Thank you for your response, from what I understand an SLCD bricked phone is one that someone has tried to upgrade to another version of Android system which is not compatible with a SLCD Screen but for an AMOLED one http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/226723-unbricking-slcd-bricked-desire-howto.html one and there for the phone will not switch the screen on, the phone in general works (receives phone signal and rings).
The only way to restore the phone is to create a Goldcard from the country of origin (and same make) as I am unable to create a gold card from the phone as SDK or Fastboot (from the computer) do not list device, and I am unable to switch the phone into debugging mode as cannot see screen to operate menu system.
Basically I need to create a Goldcard somehow for the country of origin (Lithuania) and find a HTC__032 ruu compatible for the HTC Desire Z.
Again many thanks for helping
Oh got ya, but unfortunately I don't believe there is any amoled firmware options for the desire z so if incompatible firmware was flashed you would have just a regular brick. But if everything on your phone is working besides the screen I would assume its a hardware fault and you are looking for a new LCD or main flex cable to repair it. But if you want to look for stock firmware in the above link there is another link on returning to stock where nipqer has uploaded some stock options. As you said these may not work in fastboot mode without a goldcard but feel free to try, phone does not need to have debugging on to be recognized by computer in fastboot, you just need the drivers

I found a thread about SLCD bricking of the original Desire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
It may have some helpful instructions (which you seem to have already figured out re: GoldCard and an OTA update), but the files aren't appropriate for the Desire Z
Thank you

I have no idea what an SLCD brick is so maybe you can elaborate a bit

Sorry for the delay in responding to you (now having computer issues, many thanks for your responses I am sure that somewhere there has to be an answer as it would be such a shame to throw away such a good phone.
Thanks again
Have you replaced the LCD or main flex yet?
