2.3.3 RUU ruined my Desire, HELP!? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, some more trouble with my Desire
I flashed a new ROM, it was stuck at the end of the boot anim
Tried RUU-ing, since this worked the last time this happened
RUU worked
When the phone booted, it came to the lockscreen, but then restarted itself and now it's doing the same;
boot>boot logo>boot anim>lockscreen>reboot>repeat
I can't go to bootloader, fastboot or recovery, because FastBoot is activated by default on 2.3.3 HTC
So, what do I do?
I *think* I've got adb, the phone has S-OFF (doesn't have a recovery though, because the RUU deleted it).
Can't run RUU again, can't go to recovery
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Found a way to enter fastboot and bootloader, I guess that 'clear data' thing might be useful?
EDIT2: Running RUU again, hope it helps!

Run 2.3 ruu from bootloader or fastboot. I think it should work from fastboot.

Thanks, did that and phone is back to normal
But for some reason, the RUU detects the battery is <30% if on Bootloader, so I have to run it from fastboot... Weird...

Aaaa, now i see, it's you again...

Yup, get used of me asking dumb noob questions
After all, this is how professionals are made...
Or, did you learn everything by yourself? O.O
In both cases, you're full of knowledge (which I will soon obtain, if I keep destroying my phone)

That's not how I do things, apparently...
How I do things:
1.Start doing something
2.Mess up
3.Try to repair and make it worse than it was
4.Make a new thread here
5.Partially figure the answer out
6.Read someone's reply on how to REALLY repair it
7.Repeat
The hammer idea is good, it'll be useful someday when I fully brick the poor thing (hopefully not soon)
P.S.
i figured out why the phone did that, with the 'stuck at boot' thing
My Ext4 partition wasn't aligned perfectly and it was about 10% of the size it should've been -.-'

Hahaha atleast ur honest
U should partition ur sdcard with abuntu or 4ext recovery. Iv always used 4ext to partition and never had a problem.

Yeah, almost everyone on this forum is telling me to get 4EXT (which I already got, right after the last crash...)
It's even better than I expected, after reading how CWM is 'all mighty' and stuff...

BRICKED DHD by my own :(

Hello, guys
I've successfully bricked my desire hd about 20 minutes ago by following:
via adb on pc:
adb push boot.img /data/local
via terminal on phone:
su
dd if=/data/local/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Now, I'm going to tell you why i did it - of course, it wasn't intentional..
I wanted to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835449 boot image, but I had opened this: http://www.dkszone.net/install-hboot-htc-desire-hd-engineering tutorial too and the commands i used were from this instead of the first one
If you guys can tell me how I can repair my HBOOT bricked device ...you will probably save my life... i'm very sad now and I believe that any xda member will try to help me, that's why I don't panic for now
once more.. thanks for anything, for any answers
Nice one, mate.. That is almost the one and only command that can brick a DHD.
If you have not rebooted, use my ENG S-OFF tool. It will repair your hboot. Tick the "I have radio s-off" -box.
You have to send your phone to HTC, they will repair it. It will probably cost something.

hm I think that they wont bother to check what's wrong if it's already impossible now to turn on the device. They will replace mobo and that's all I think
And in English, Mike means that the device will be under warranty. Then the repair process would be free
ehheh, yes i have warranty, but how can i fix it now with your ENG S-OFF tool ?
ahh.. you say if i not rebooted i see... i understand.. omg i am stupid
but when i can brick the phone, how can i unbrick it.. can i open dhd and do it manually or how ?
btw i need the phone to the tomorrows test lol
You cannot repair it easily yourself, brick is a brick, beyond repair. Only HTC can revive your phone now.

i'm assuming if you got to the point of flashing an engineering hboot, that you ran gfree and your phone is radio s-off
this being the case, it is actually fixable.
the trick is i don't know exactly how to do it yet. better off just warrantying it.
but if you boot it up with volume-up i believe, it should vibrate 3 times, give you a black screen and enumerate as a qualcomm device to your computer.
scotty2
Sorry this is of no help, but why use that really outdated Kendon thing, when most kernels now support what it does?
because i was too curious what it can do
can you tell me how htc repair this without opening the phone ? i think as mike said.. they will just give me new or am i wrong ?
and when they give me new, will i have to buy xtc clip to downgrade to 1.32, i mean to make it s-off, or is goldcard enough ? please don't smile to this.. because i'm flashing fan xD
I read somewhere, that there are two types of BOOT, but maybe i'm wrong..
there should be initial boot loader and secondary boot loader or something, i hope the initial is unflashable so I have successfully flashed only the secondary one, I hope there must be way to fix it.. even htc wouldn't disassemble it ..i hope

KK, thanks last question to you is what I should tell them when I will go tomorrow to the HTC.
If you feel like it, you can say that the device just stopped working, and you do not know what could possibly be wrong with it. "It just does not turn on anymore".
Then the other option is to tell the truth, that you messed up and now it does not work. Then it will cost you to get it repaired.

I still think that they can't repair it without disassembling, do you ?
So if I tell them truth I will have to pay like almost for new phone, because they will have to replace NAND chip. I think I will say, that I changed the SIM card and my device just stopped working and I will try to pretend like a n00bzor (as I am) xD
I really don't know how I could did it, I thought it's related with it.. the dev folder under system, but when I went there over ROOT explorer or QtADB it has 0kBs..
So once more.. thank you very much guys, and jkoljo I already used the tool.. I already use your tool, it's good, but.. mmh I am stupid
Hi, guys
by the way I forgot to ask you why it got brick
is and difference between this:
su
dd if=/data/local/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
and this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
commands ?
is boot different from HBOOT ?
I found on this forum android flasher 1.5.5 and there is option to flash HBOOT ?
what is initial boot loader - is it boot or HBOOT, please tell me, cuz I'm little confused :/ thanks
I think boot.img us the kernel as far as I am aware
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
okay, thanks
Yep, you replaced your device's bootloader with kernel, which obviously results in a mess.
It is like replacing your PC's bios with scrap data.
So, is this officially the first truly bricked DHD on XDA?
Yep, that is right.

[Q] [SOLVED] Desire CDMA ADR6275 Bricked ! (GSM Radio Brick)

I was trying to Hboot different table and some radio and I accidently brick my phone.
When I try to turn it on it just vibrates for a second and nothing shows up just blank black screen. Help ME Please !
I have managed to show the info in the fastboot commander. I can flash radio h-boot spl and recovery here. I can shut down phone from this software and it shows charging light as well.
But still blank on boot. Can any body help me to make it usable
Sorry to say, but I think you bricked it. You can't flash GSM radios and partition tables to the CDMA Desire.
Is there any way that I can unbrick it ?

Hmm... i dont know when its CDMA.but i think this may fix it. Okay you need to download fastboot commander from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
then you need to download official htc desire RUU it may work for CDMA too (i think) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915 download the "HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade"
Allright now you got the downloads. You also need Java and the HTC driver if you dont got that. Pull battery out of your phone and set it back again. Connect your phone to your pc (dont turn it on you shold just hear that sound when windows found your device) open fastboot commander program on your pc and go to the tab "boot, sys and userdata" mark all the stuff you can and press remove or something like that
Your phone is only a black screen when you turn it on, dont worry. Open the RUU program now and follow the instructions to revert to android 2.3. I hope that helpe if not let me know what didnt worked and i may help you a little more.

Not if its really bricked, such as a radio brick, which you more than likely have.
You can try flashign a CDMA RUU like suggested above, but keep your fingers crossed.
I'm pretty sure even flashing a different SPL from alpharev would've done a great job of bricking it...
Yes it probably would

Before doing anything that u guyz have suggested would this thing help that i got? This is RUU_Bravo_C_Froyo_USCC_WWE_2.11.573.5_Radio_2.15.00.11.16_release_168495_signed.exe which is sized 171mb. I dounloaded it. What is this thing anyway. Could anyone explain ?
I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947961
its an RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) to upgrade the rom.
What was a guy who doesnt know what an RUU is, doing flashing Hboots?
will u tell me if it has to do anything to make my phone work ?
Like we said earlier, you can try. We can't tell you if it will work o not as your phone may be bricked. However, it should give you failure codes, which may give us more information.
Theres no harm in trying. It probably is bricked anyway.
Good thing about Alpharev hboot is that they lock it so that one doesnt accidentally flash a wrong hboot.. See if you can get into hboot mode (Vol- Power)...If it's still black, use the PB99IMG.zip method of flashing RUUs.. I wont elaborate. They are a dozen threads on it do/
Don't flash an ruu now.
I'm not sure how to fix your problem but I don't believe it's bricked. It is sooo hard to brick these things. I have thought a million times that mine was bricked, just be patient search forums (not just xda) and read a lot. That's the beautiful thing about the internet. You are bound to find many people that have gone through what you are and have fixed it. I will look a little for you but i'm not on that much so I don't know how much help that can be. If your search doesn't provide useful information try changing your keywords. I'll post again later tonight with what I have found if you haven't figured it out already. Good luck.
This RUU is giving me error 110 Cant open file when it is on 60-70 %. I downloaded it forn HTC support the other time and againg the same error. Then I tried to do another RUU from alltel but this gave me error that this was not supported. Help !
Did you flash RUU via computer or via SD card?
SwiftKeyed from dGB with Transparent XDA App
Was your HBOOT previous S-OFF?

cant install any ruu to htc desire cdma

I dont know if someone here has posted something similar but i got a huge problem with my damn htc desire, it is cdma ive tried to install the ruu froyo but it wont let me it says model id error or cid incorrect i have made the damn goldcard and it doesn't work, this phone is pissing the hell out of me. i cant do nothing with it. could someone here tell me plz some way to install an compatible ruu. the phone only boots to fastboot, i can change it to hboot but from there nothing. plz can someone here help me i;m losing my mind.
give us some details then we MAY be able to help you.. we're not friggin' magicians here..
Firstly, the RUU's didn't work because my best bet is that you were using RUU for Bravo and not BravoC (your model) - Hence modelID error.
Secondly, if you're rooted, then you're more than likely S-OFF too so you can probably just fix it, look on my guide. (DO NOT FLASH ANY HBOOTS)
to stop us working double on this, please choose either this thread, or http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/475726-cant-install-any-ruu-htc-desire-cdma.html
It gets annoying trying to help people in several different places.
My suggestion is to stay on XDA as Bortak knows his stuff and will probably be able to help. On AF you may get stuck with me and I just havent the time.
Oooh rootSu sorry didnt knew that androis forums where from here too, my apologies for that. Ummm ok the problem. I got this htc desire bravo_c it was rooted but my brother told me that the phone started on bootloop. Then I exactly didnt knew what he did but then he said the phone was with black screen. Ok I tried some guides from here, the only problem was that it happened like some guy said here, I tried to do an ruu rom but when it started doing the progress when It was at 20% it stopped and now the phone boots only in fastboot. After the ruu now I can see whats happening with the phone but like I said it only boots on fast boot. Oh other thing now the phone is S-on and the hboot is 0.98. Let me know if u need some more details. Ill let u kno,. And sorry again for the other forum.

There aren't that many resources for the bravoC so you've got limited options. As far as I know there is one BravoC RUU on shipped-roms.Com, but if it's not for your network provider I don't know whether it wouldn't just break your phone..
If it is the right RUU for your network then great, use it and hope for the best. If it isn't then stay away from it and contact HTC.
you should root and s-off your phone (when/if you fix it/get it back from repair), so that these sort of problems can be sorted out easily without any hiccups.

well this sucks umm if i contact htc they will probably say to send the phone right? man i was hoping i could fix it with the guides here i really have bad luck.
So the best thing to do now is just to contact htc and wait for what they have to say. thanks for the help, sorry for posting this thread like that, it wasn't my intention to make anyone mad or anything, its just that i was so desperate that i wanted someone to help me.
Sorry I'm not mad and it IS a different forum. But sometimes I end up helping on AF and someone else helps here and we end up either
a) both duplicating each others work
b) taking different approaches.
The risk then is you take some advise from here, some advise from there, put it all together and end up bricking your phone.
I understand thanks for the help. I called htc they told me that i have to call tomorrow because Im from Puerto Rico and their offices are close today so I gotta check tomorrow to see if they are open.

stuck on Htc logo with four triangles

Hello everybody,
I'm stuck with this condition, wherever i start up my Htc Desire it shows the htc logo and four triangles on the sides. And on every combination vol- vol+ backkey + powerbutton i get the same screen.
Lost the original SD card (not sure if this matters).
I got this screen when i unplug from pc:
AlphaRev CM7 r2

RUU
I've been told to downgrade the Hboot (from the alpharev.nl) in order to Ruu the stock ROM downloaded from the HtcDEV, with no luck.
Since I've got the CyanogenMod hboot, is there any method i can flash CM on the phone. Having CM7 would be perfect!!
Check this thread particularly the RUU Problems section. Good luck.

I do feel your pain...I'd be pretty gutted too, if this happened to me.
As for fixes, this is the fourth thread you've started on various forums (that I could find) and I can tell you, the answers are going to be the same. What I would suggest, if you have exhausted every possibility and followed every guide to the letter...just go buy a new phone. There are heaps of them on eBay and electronics stores all over the world are flogging them off at ridiculously low prices. Imo, you're really better off starting from scratch.
Just flash the downgrade.img and run the ruu. It's the only fix. If you can't flash the downgrade img, go back to the troubleshooting thread and tell them there exactly what happened. Simply saying "with no luck" doesn't help anyone diagnose.
Creating a thread on this topic is annoying enough. Openly admitting to recreating it is disrespectful. As with every thread of this nature, I will request it be locked. Please use the troubleshooting guide thread

More than likely an environment (pc) than phone issue. Scrap those apps, we're better off using command line. Have a read of the adb and fastboot faq via my signature. Skip adb as not relevant.
Then follow the link 777 posted and give us an update there

Correct.. was a driver issue apparently. What i had to do was only install every driver i could find for htc desire, adb, jdk.. all.. and then even with 6.93.1002 hboot i could RUU the 2.3 gingerbread stock from htcdev.com. Now its up and running.. infact im writing this mesage from the desire XD
THANKYOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTAND!
Great news!!
I want to point out, and after you've been here a while you'll understand, there are a lot of people (noobs) that will ask the same old questions over and over again, "Which ROM is best?", "My phone is broken, how do I fix?" etc, and it get's really, really annoying. This is why people were a little rude with you and why your first thread was closed. In the end, all it took was some time, research and a bit of thought and you got there. And I'll tell you what, you really got thrown in the deep end with the phone you were given...from here on in, anything else should be a walk in the park!
Please don't take anything said personally, it's just a matter of frustration at seeing the same old again.
I have no doubt you'll be ripping into noobs one day too, lol.
Now go enjoy your phone!!

[Q] I think I'm in so much trouble.... Need help please!

Hey guys,
I dropped my HTC One M8 today, and now it has a crack in the screen.
Well, I wanted to go back to the store to get it replaced under warranty, but I needed to unroot & go back to stock first.
So at home I tried to go back to stock and stuff, but it just didn't work. That is where **** hit the fan.
Right now, I can't boot into Android, can't boot intro recovery. Everytime I start my phone it boots into FASTBOOT USB, and I have the following screen: *see attachment*
I really don't know what to do, I've been searching for serveral hours and my guess is I hard-bricked it...
Please, please tell me there is a way to make it boot into android again...?

I dropped my HTC One M8 today, and now it has a crack in the screen.
Well, I wanted to go back to the store to get it replaced under warranty, but I needed to unroot & go back to stock first.
So at home I tried to go back to stock and stuff, but it just didn't work. That is where **** hit the fan.
Right now, I can't boot into Android, can't boot intro recovery. Everytime I start my phone it boots into FASTBOOT USB, and I have the following screen: *see attachment*
I really don't know what to do, I've been searching for serveral hours and my guess is I hard-bricked it...
Please, please tell me there is a way to make it boot into android again...?

Do you still have TWRP installed? Boot into recovery from your bootloader, and restore a backup. (You should have made one before you tried returning to stock)

I can't boot into recovery, it goes back to FASTBOOT / HBOOT every time.

I've tried to find the correct RUU, but everytime I get an error along these lines: 'Could not verify signature'
Where could I find a correct RUU?

I got the one I use from HTC website I'm on T-Mobile and it works just fine for me maybe try changing your cid to supercid then run ruu
Did you check the ruu thread in m8 general forum

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 If you are talking about this thread, yes I checked it.
I downloaded several RUU's and they all say : 'MODEL-ID error, please download the correct RUU for your device'
I am going to try to change the CID to SuperCid but don't think it will work since I can't change my S-ON to S-OFF

Yea being s-on I don't think you can what is your cid and what carrier do you have maybe someone can modify one of the ruus to work with your cid cause it seems the ruu is checking your cid and it doesn't match for the ruu so it isn't working. Have you tried reflashing twrp and seeing if you can enter recovery again then maybe restore one of the backups from the backups thread. I don't know how much help I can actually be cause I'm just a flasher hopefully someone with more experience and knowledge can jump in and help you I'm just suggesting what I would do in your situation. I hope you get your phone booted again though
Omg i did it
I just started the whole process again of unlocking my bootloader and stuff, using the AOI Toolkit, and I am in the PhiliZ Touch CLockworkmod now ! Thank you all for helping me, I will carefully unroot now and bring my phone back

Glad to hear I didn't think it was hard bricked but I know it's a real frustrating feeling when you can't boot into anything
Something f**king similar here....

Cool. Glad you got it working again.

First of all, he can't boot into system.
Second of all, everything you've mentioned needs S-Off. He is S-On.
Third of all, HTC US is different than other regions. Most of the other RUUs that have been made available are not found on HTC's websites. Most are leaked versions, I believe.
And no. It isn't in any RUU threads on XDA.

First of he got it fixed and booted again if you actually read the thread second of all why are you even quoting me coming at me like that with this bs as I replied in one of my posts I might be the best to help him but I was offering suggestions as no one else was helping him. Do me a favor and don't quote me no more bs like that when all I'm trying to do is help. Thank you for your unnecessary two cents

I edited it as soon as I posted it and read ahead. I agree I should have read ahead first, but as far as nobody helping.....
Incorrect.
I started by helping him in another thread. I would have continued helping him here, but I had to go out to do real life stuff.
Anyway, the suggestions you gave wouldn't have worked.

That's fine my suggestions wouldn't have worked but as I said I was just trying to offer help my suggestions wouldn't have harmed him any further either but posts like the one you quoted me on makes me not want to help or offer suggestions to no one else. I've posted some useful stuff on xda though. I'm not the most technology savvy person but sometimes I do have some useful information. Like I told him I might not be the best person to help. But there's no reason to attack me for trying to help
Hey guys, thank both for the help....
But pls keep calm and "you just know what's the best for you"

Oh. By no means did I mean to make you feel attacked.
I'm sorry if I came across that way. I was telling you that the suggestions wouldn't work and explaining why. No offense was intended whatsoever.

It's cool I'm already over it. I know there are alot more people on here smarter then me about this phone stuff. All I really know how to do is read search and flash. This is the first phone I've unlocked and rooted and stuff like that so all this is new to me anyway. So no problem man.

Chances are, I'm no smarter than you are. Read and search and learn. That's what we all do here.
And sharing knowledge is what this site is based on. Please continue to try to help others.
Just don't be offended if someone corrects you. I do agree that I could have done it in a more tactful manner though. I can see how my post might have come across as abrasive, but that was not intended.
