Very Unusual Problem - Can you help??? Please

Hello folks,
First of all can I say what a great site this is and how many super and generous people there are who help out twits like me every day!
I have rooted and flashed my phone many, many times, so I am not a Noob as such, though I am stuck on this one....
Here's my issue......
Got phone back from HTC repair - New motherboard - Worked fine.
HBOOT 0.93
I rooted phone using Unrevoked version 3
Then I installed LeeDroid 2.2d - latest version from XDA developers.
Phone worked fine for a few days.
I downloaded a few apps and synced calendars etc.
Then this morning - I unplugged my charger from the phone and Bang.....Phone seems to be not working, my Calendars are blank, so I decided to reboot phone.....................
Now I am unable to get past the HTC White Logo screen. AND I cannot access Recovery mode or Clockworkmod.
Though I can get to the Hboot screen by holding the down key and power.
Cannot boot into recovery though even from this menu.
The initial Recovery bit - the green writing that pops up when the phone looks at the recovery image, seems to be saying something like wrong image - Below.
SD Checking...

I have rebooted several times, but no good.
I have plugged my Desire in to PC and gone into Fastboot mode and then tried to install the Stock HTC RUU by running the exe from my computer.
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
However I just get either error 131 or Error 140 depending on which SD card I put into the phone..........
This has got me completely stumped? Am I bricked completely or is there a way around this?
Any ideas?
HELP!!!!!!!! - I thought I was good at this!

Download a PB99IMG.zip from www.shipped-roms.com
put it into the root of your sdcard and it should reflash without a problem.

Well i don't know why both your recovery and system has got corrupted without you doing a thing to it. It usually only happens if you messed something up.. Not saying you have, but now would be the time to tell
Otherwise everything you say is exactly what i would expect your phone to do.
First of all the green writing in hboot is not a look at the recovery but a check to see, if you have put a zip file with that name on the sd-card. This is just an alternative to using the ruu.exe
Second of all the stock rom you try to flash may contain an older hboot version og something similar, which is just giving you the error because you are not allowed to downgrade to an earlier software/hboot version. Try the newest one instead with your goldcard in the phone of cause.
And finally no you are not even close to a brick here seriously some people should take a deep breath and read through the forum(not specifically you but people in general. There is just too many topics with people screaming heeelp i have no idea what i did to my phone). Theres plenty of solutions, and it is quite hard to actually brick the phone. Unless you actually tried pulling the battery while flashing a hboot or radio update almost any other software problems are easily solved, because of the way this system is build.
edit: and if you try the above suggested by h3llb3nd4. You should be aware that your phone model on that page is bravo and not desire, which is the cdma desire. So if your phone has a sim card you should pick bravo. You still have to choose one with a similar or newer software and hboot version than your current.

Hi guys,
The latest with the saga is.
I managed to get the latest Froyo RUU to run and install successfully on my phone.
However - Phone still will not get past the HTC white screen, it just sticks there.
I am pretty much out of ideas now?
h3llb3nd4, thank you for your advice, I will give this a go, but as I cannot access any menu's to do a reflash I'm not sure I understand how this can help me? - Not that I'm saying it won't, it's probably my lack of knowledge.
Otherwise, I have to say this phone seems to be a big trouble. I mean even a successful RUU install and still no reboot? Weird
Thanks so much for your help and advice...keep those ideas coming
Rich

Well I tried this, and placed the zip file onto the root of SDCard. However then I restarted phone and it simply stuck at the HTC screen as before?
Do I need to do anything else? - I cannot access recovery to install from zip card.
Do I need to unzip the zip file? or maybe rename it?
Also I am now installed with the latest froyo Bravo RUU Rom 2.10, so the image file that is for 1.21 may not be right for this?
Help........

Put PB99IMG.zip on to the root of your SD card. Then boot into the bootloader (power on with vol down held down).
The bootloader will automatically scan the SD card root for an update file and install it. That should get your back to running stock again.

Hi Bigstoo,
Sooo close, it actually started reading the PB99IMG.Zip file. However it failed to update sadly.
The error message was "update fail"
Could this be that the ROM image that is on the phone is a higher one than this PB99IMG file? Is there one that is suitable for use with
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed
Thanks though! - Nearly there maybe..............

Right I have found the correct PB99IMG file for my current stock Rom.
The phone found it in Bootlaoder and went right through the installation process correctly and successfully......................
Outcome - Phone still not working at stuck at the HTC White screen.
I would say it's now looking like hardware issue to me? I cannot think of anything else that might get this bloody phone to work again...............
Sheeeesh

If you can get into the bootloader screen now, just drop the pc36img.zip file into the root of your SD card and the boot loader should read it automatically when you load it. Make sure you don't name it pc36img.zip.zip by mistake. You'd be surprised how often it happens.

[Q] Help with soft birck

The incredible will go into hboot but the recovery, factory reset, clear storage all send it into a boot loop. It is S-off and should have cwm (the root was done by unrevoked) but I cant get it into recovery mode to fix the problem. the up vol + power will cause it to vibrate 3 times but the screen stays black.
I am use to samsung phones where I can just odin it back to stock but have little experience with Htc. Any help on reverting it back to stock or just help me get into recovery so i can flash a custom rom would be great. thanks
btw
hboot is .92
Radio 2.15.00.07.28

If you are s-off I would first try reflashing cwm thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip
Here is the CWM 5.0.2.0 PB31IMG.zip
http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip
Just place it on the root of your sd and then boot into hboot (hold vol down and power) it should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. If that works then install the su binary found below thru recovery.
http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip

thanks for the quick reply after updating with the PB3 file it still wont go into recovery mode, just the boot loop. any other ideas?

I would say your next step would be to do an ruu of froyo 2.2 wich you can fiNd here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/3.26.605.1/PB31IMG.zip and if that dosent work I would try an ruu exe with your pc.

Thanks for your quick response, this phone is wack! I ran the ruu exe from my pc it did its thing and successfully updated the Rom but to my surprise when it rebooted it was stuck in a boot loop!

I had a similar problem a few days ago, and the only solution I found was to update CWM through RomManager. I'm thinking that the problem may have been caused by RomManager in the first place, which is why this is the only method that worked for getting CWM working.

You could try flashing an older version of cwm like 3.0.0.8 thru hboot. Mabey cwm 5 is whats causing your troubles. Or try flashing amon ra recovery.
Cwm 3.0.0.8

I flashed both recovery's, also an ruu of a stock rom, and I also tried doing an ruu exe through the computer. all of them succeeded but in every case I am still stuck in a boot loop and cant get the phone to boot up

Can you get into recovery yet or are the hboot options still not working?
Mabey your hboot got corrupted somehow you can try reflashing it.
hboot 0.92
http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_0.92/PB31IMG.zip
Then try flashing a recovery again and see if you can get into it.

None of the hboot options work. I have flashed all the files you have given me. and I have done the ruu exe of both froyo and gingerbread. they all say they have completed successfully but nothing has fixed the problem. Still cant get into recovery and it wont but up at all. Im not sure what else it could be

Im not sure then if none of those options work im at a loss of what else you could do. Mabey someone with more experince can chime in with some other options. Have you tried reformating your sdcard or using a different one? Thats the only other thing I can think of.

When you say "flashing" are you literally flashing these .zip files in CWM or are you renaming these files to PB31IMG.zip and installing thru HBOOT? There is a difference between the two.

He cant get into recovery thats one of the issues.

ya i guess not flashing just running the PB31 file in hboot. I think im done working with it though. Im doing it for some guy who tried flashing it from verizon to another carrier but it didnt work and it only goes into hboot now. but thanks for all your help especially cmlusco. I'm still open for ideas but It's not going to my priority anymore. I learned a lot about htc phones if anything

So the OP is S Off and can't flash the PB CWM file in HBOOT? Ccould be a bad file too. Make are you are checking md 5s
Sent from my Droid Incredible HD using Tapatalk

He can flash any PB31IMG file sucessfully but the phone will not boot and selecting any of the options in hboot leads him to a splash bootloop, and requires a battery pull. It's all above.

Ya it is s -off
I have flashed the pb CWM file no luck and also the other recovery (cant remember the name)
I also tried flashing th pb hboot file no luck
I flashed the pb ruu froyo no luck and also gb no luck
i then tried doing it through my computer using stock froyo exe and also a gb one with no luck (In every case the phone said it was "successful" in updating the roms and/or the recoverys)
But nothing ever changes it will only boot into hboot but nothing works in the hboot everything just sends it into a boot loop on the white htc screen

Thats probably the issue it was attempted to be switched to another carrier wich is a fairly complicated process. He may have changed some settings below rom level that cant be fixed by flashing an ruu. Im not sure if there is a fix with qpst or not but if there is I have no clue how to do it.

Been seeing some odd issues lately. I had a problem, and it would just go to a black screen and vibrate five times.
If the USB was plugged in to my PC, it would boot and operate fine, as soon as I unplugged it, it would crash again.
Check this out, it may be related.

I've been having almost this exact problem and have been working on it since 5:30 last night. As my phone is also my modem, I am currently at the library on wifi... FML.
The only difference is that I did not try to switch carriers, I was just using my phone normally and then yesterday morning I had a bunch of FCs, and yesterday evenings began the boot loops when I unlocked to make a phone call, again, FML.
The timing is very bad, only about two weeks till my new-every-two. Please help, I need my phone and don't really have the money to spare for a new one.
Thanks in advance.

Stuck on boot screen

Hi!
I've been using ViperDHD 1.2.3 on my HTC DESIRE HD but now it crashed and it's stuck on the HTC logo. I belive the problem isn't the rom because I've been using it for almost a year and it has worked perfectly.
I can get it to HBOOT screen, but I cant go to RECOVERY because it just show the HTC logo and nothing happens.
Some text found in HBOOT:

I spend whole yesterday searching but I didn't found any solution. So please help me! :crying:

you can try flashing recovery from hboot and see if then you can at least boot into it. then make a backupz and reflash. dirty flash might help, if it doesnt, fullwipe then reflash. your data should still be in nand backup, and you should be able to extract it with titanium backup. if this dont work, you probably have a more serious problem...
it might be helpful if you could provide more details what exactly happened, because "crash" doesnt really tell a lot.

I choose the RECOVERY option from HBOOT menu (is this what you mean?), then it vibrated and showed the HTC logo and after that nothing happened.
I was playing music when the phone vibrated few times and the screen went black, I could still hear noise from the speaker. Then I took out the battery and put it back and then I booted the phone but it was stuck in the HTC logo.
So is it dead now? :crying:

You can try what the previous member said. Flash a recovery either using pd98img.zip or fastboot.

or your sdcard is corrupted to work as a goldcard and there to flash PD98IMG files (try the same file with another sdcard) or perharps the file is misspelled. Check that you don't have .zip.zip or something similar.

I've tried diffrend sdcards and diffrend files but it doesn't work. I found onde PD98IMG file that the phone regonized but when i pressed "yes" it did something and showed the HTC logo and after that nothing happened.
The file that my phone found (link) is only 220kt so I think it would not work anyway.

Why are you trying to mess your device? You were running Gingerbread and you are trying to flash a Froyo RUU?? That is not good...you will probably mess the bootloader that way.
If you are s-off you can flash any ruu in fastboot...but if your device keeps vibrating for a while when you turn it on... and youwait for about 30 minutes and boots, then that means that your bootloader is corrupted and you need to fix it.
How long does it take to boot in hboot?

The phone starts like it should but it just get stuck on the HTC logo.
Booting in HBOOT goes also normaly, just few seconds from pressing the buttons.

mate, what are you trying to flash is bootloader not recovery. dont know why you want to do that? since your phone is behaving wierd, i dont think it is a good idea. you should find recovery image (.img) and flash with fastboot (your bootloader says you are eng s-off) or pdimg containing recovery, and then see if you can boot into it. if it does, you are on a good way to have your phone working again. if recovery flashes good and you still cant boot into it, i have no clue how to proceed...

I managed to install a PD98IMG file (with recovery image), but it's still stuck at HTC logo.

[Q] Evo4g Reboot Loop can't start recovery

I know there are a million threads about this but I haven't found the right files to work with what I have.
My Evo4g has:
Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 2.10.001
RADIO 2.15.00.11.19
Two nights ago after I plugged in my phone to charge for the night it randomly rebooted and has been stuck rebooting on the HTC splash screen. If I try to go into recovery it goes to the same splash screen, goes black, back to the splash screen, etc.
I've tried to flash a new recovery but when I try to fastboot I get a failed message and I think it's because the recovery file I have may be for a different radio/hboot combo.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

Update.... still no success
I tried to do a complete reset on the phone by taking out the SD Card, coping over the PC36IMG.zip file I used when I first rooted the pone and doing the update. The update completed successfully but the phone is still stuck in the reboot cycle, even in recovery mode. This is the thread I followed when I first rooted my phone earlier this year howtoroothtcevo235withbootloader218.blogspot.com/2012/05/this-is-my-guide-on-how-to-achieve-s.html
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. Right now I'm stuck and don't know what else to try.

Thanks for the idea. I've tried "PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.54.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed" which changed my HBoot to 2.16.0001 but the phone is still stuck in the boot loop and I can't get into recovery.
My current system stats are:
HBoot 2.16.0001
Radio 2.15.00.0808
UPDATE:
So, I think I may be out of luck. From what I've been reading around the forums, if what I've tried doesn't work then the phone most likely has a hardware issue and is dead. I'm going to get a new phone but if someone has any ideas I'd love to resurrect this one.
