Tried vol down and power? Will boot into bootloader.

Your phone isn't bricked. Its in debug mode. Pull battery and do volume down + power to see if you can get into the bootloader, if you can you aren't bricked, load up an RUU and you should be good.

Not sure as i cant see the screen... I press it and it vibrates... did some more digging and found this-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8960978&posted=1#post8960978
would this fix it? would it hurt to try?

Did you try a battery pull? Try that and then volume down and power.

Yes if you have an SLCD this is your problem. When you downgrade to 2.1 you have no drivers for your screen. Pull the battery, hold down and then hit power. Set your phone down for 10 minutes or until hboot loads. Make sure that you have this PB31IMG.zip in the root of your sd and then upgrade it. It took a while for my hboot to load. So give it some time. If that doesn't work try booting with trackball and power.

How do I know what kind of screen I have?

and where do i get an ruu?

Good luck with this one guys... lol. I commend you!

This is the ruu EXE. I dont know quite whether it works for SLCD, but its a resource.

If you recover by loading the PB31IMG in hboot, you'll need to also format your SD card to FAT32 if it isn't already. Might be a slight point of contention if you don't have a USB card reader or another device which can interface the card with a PC.
Might be easiest to run the RUU on a Windows computer. Link above looks perfect, it's the latest.
Download to PC, hook up phone via USB cable and lanuch the RUU program then follow instructs. I despise HTC Sync but in this case, might be easiest to go ahead and load it to your PC before you run the RUU. It'll allow the RUU to function properly (all this all assumes Windows). I'd delete HTC Sync when done if it were me. It can be problematic in other regards.

I am 99% sure that the phone dosent boot past hboot... so the above method wont work correct?

The 2 ways to do it are:
1.) go into hboot and have the PB31IMG already on your SD card. Once in hboot, it should recognize the PB31IMG and you press volume up to load. However, as mentioned it'll likely fail if you have not formatted your card to FAT32 at some point.
2.) Forget about hboot. Pull your batt, replace it and start the phone even though you can't see what's up. You should feel it vibe and in reality it's working, you just can't see anything on the screen due to the lack of drivers as previously mentioned. So hook up phone to USB port on PC and with HTC Sync installed, launch the RUU you downloaded from 3 posts up. It runs on Windows and loads the software to the phone via the USB charging cable.

I have grown tired of these downgrade posts on multiple forums. Instead of writing a "how to" in 50 posts I have made one
You downgraded, welcome to the land of suck.
And OP you phone does boot and works quite well minus the screen. To prove the point boot it up and call it.

OP,
Go with Doug's link. Great description and is using the same files already posted here. Just much better instructs to follow.

Alright thanks trying that now

Follow my earlier post. I posted a link to the zip you need. If you need more help e-mail me at [email protected].

the ruu didnt work error 117... would it help if i uses xp?

Do you have SLCD or Amoled screen? Also, if you used 3.22 you might have to get your own recovery. Download ROM manager from the market and install Clockwork Mod.

3 Mobile UK RUU Bricked. Help needed.

Hi guys, Well after trawling through the wealth of information on this site and reading till my eyes bleed I honestly cant seem to fix this.
I was hoping and preying some amazingly talented expert here could maybe point me in the right direction.
Ok so heres whats going on. Got my HTC Desire, Told me there was a system update. So I chose to install ofcourse. Then BAM! for no reason half way through installation the phone dies. Vibrates 7 times and black screen (Searched this too) - nothing.
So pulled battery, waited for a few minutes and put in, power on. Phone gets to HTC (white screen) the freezes. Or even sometimes just switches off and vibrates 7 times again!
So I found An RUU for 3 mobile - RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed
Tried running it with the phone in fastboot usb
All was going well then reached about 80% and gave me an error code 110. Telling me to download a complete RUU for my device.
Now when I power on the screen is just black, however I know it still has some functionality as I can hear the sound for device connection in Windows when I Power on holding down Vol-
now I thought I would be clever and seeing as whilst my phone was working it downloaded the "correct" update. So checked the sd card and found it in the Downloads folder. Renamed it to PB99IMG and tried booting the phone holding down the back key. But still nothing.
By the way the phone isnt rooted and is very very very new. On 3 mobile UK network.
Can anybody please give me some pointers on how I may be able to go about fixing this? Im sure there has to be some way as it still has "some functionalty" (I think lol)
Also tried the adb method of connecting or re-flashing but device is not found.
Cheers all

Sounds like the RUU is corrupt - what is the file size?
Also, is that the one your Desire came with? If not, that won't work anyway
Also, an OTA shouldn't be named PB99IMG as that's only for RUU files - you rename an OTA update.zip and flash it in recovery. Looks like you've not read enough

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
The RUU I tried installing that failed was from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe
Filesize is 153mb. It matched the version number that my htc shipped with and even says when running the RUU that both versions are the same. But as it failed I tried the Update from my network provider that I found on the SD card by renaming to PB99IMG.zip and holding Back and Power down.
Looks like Im buggered I suppose. Im still trying to get my phones CID as Im guessing then I can install any RUU for my phone?
I just cant access anything to get the CID

The PB99IMG can ONLY be used when extracting it from an RUU
The one you got OTA (Over The Air) isn't a full ROM - it's just a 30MB-odd update
Download the RUU from here:
http://www.4shared.com/get/t2SsuYNF...sionid=2D4E782FB44E2CF020622A15F76C1A5A.dc278
(Shipped-ROMs.com can lead to corrupt downloads)
And then follow the guide I attached to this post - it's how to extract the PB99IMG from an RUU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102

Thank you so much! Will try now and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again

Still no good. Its tricky as I cant see the screen to select the options. But Ive followed the guide allowing it enough time to load before choosing yes etc and still no joy. Im not even sure the PBIMG99.zip is loading.
I've even tried running the RUU again from the PC after Holding vol - and Power down and waiting for the sound in windows that its connected. But gives me error code 110 again saying it cannot read files.
Loos like Im going to have to send it back to my supplier. Although Im sure they will blame me for everything and refuse me a new handset! lol

Once you have the correct PB99IMG file, you copy it onto the root of the SD card (not in any folders) and then turn the phone on holding volume down. You don't have to do anything else as it'll find the file and ask if you want to use it
To try the RUU turn the phone on holding the BACK button to get into FASTBOOT, connect to the PC and when it says FASTBOOT USB on the screen of the phone run the RUU
Out of interest, when you boot into HBOOT when info do you see at the top of screen?

Thats the problem. My screen is blank. I used to be able to get into Hboot and fastboot and see the screen. Now I dont see anything. But Im sure its still going into hboot etc as I hear the connection sound windows makes when holding vol and power.
Hope that makes sense?
Edit. I do know that before all went wrong I had hboot 93 or something like that.

Right, sounds like you've flashed a ROM for an AMOLED Desire onto an SLCD one...

Oh! poooooooh. Well thanks for trying. I never even got to use the stupid thing! lol

There is a thread on here to try and use to sort it out - look through the Q&A section

have u fixed it please ?? I got the same problems now......
thx

The thread Eddy referred to, was probably this..You should be able to do it even if blindfolded

[Q] How to repair a rom

Well I have had my question answered by a friend but the answer was not the best of news.
Evidently my rom is corrupted which makes me feel like a jack a** for not rooting sooner since from my reading of the forums you can 'flash or re-flash' the different rom builds and recover your phone. So my conundrum exist in the fact that i never did root since i love sense so much and i was told that s-off negated it period, my phone being bricked or soft bricked since i can get into the boot loader is there a way to root and flash a custom rom so that i can get the phone to work.
And also im running the official upgrade for froyo
espresso pvt ship s-on\hboot- 1.02.0000
microp-0620
touch panel-synt0102
radio-7.15.35.16
nOV 26 2010,20:43:01
any help would be appreciated since i have some thing that i want to get off the phone that i deem relevant in my life as well as the desire not to buy a new phone quite yet since im not eligible for an upgrade

What exactly is wrong with your phone? How did your friend know it was "corrupted?"
Have you tried this, as copied from another non-rooted person:
1. pull battery
2. replace battery and turn on power WHILE HOLDING volume down. This will access "Hboot"
3. use the volume down button to hover over option 3 Clear storage
4. select using the power button
5. hit yes using volume up
I don't know anything about the official update, but can't you update your phone again with that same procedure?
Oh, read up on your problem. You dropped it in water. Is that obvious? Can you check and see if they'll send you a replacement. That doesn't actually sound like your rom is corrupted, it sounds like your hardware is fried.

So this is my dilemma i have a slide that was dropped in water, it started to work for a moment then it stopped it's stuck on the splash screen and wont go beyond that. It will go into bootloader but wont boot in recovery mode. It does read the usb in recovery mode although i cant access the files (it just shows the hr glass and i mean for hrs.. I would try to root from this point point but i got the official froyo update so i cant go s-off and i dont have a gold card or the facilities to make one. Help please i dunno what to do from this point!!!........
that was my original question. I didn't get a reply so i got a hold of my friend who lives in alaska, who also works for an it company he says that it sounds like the rom is corrupted since u can access some of the primary functions ie. bootloader, it does read from the sd card, it does go into fastboot (sort of).
I bought the phone off of craigslist so no insurance there either, so rocjk in a hard place yes. Ive tried clear storage as well no luck there, as for re-updating i would have to be able to access the sd from the usb, and although it does read it every time i've tried to access it won't let me from the desktop.
So i come again to those with more knowledge than my self in hopes of garnering the requisite knowledge. How would/could you tell if the hardware's fried or not?

I don't know about your phone but on my Evo 4G I can load a fresh copy of the official 2.2 rom without going into recovery.
I just downloaded the RUU for my phone and renamed it to PC36IMG.zip and it automatically loads on the hboot menu from my SD card. It had to be on the root of your SD card to be seen.
I get the feeling that you may have a different issue if you dropped it in water.

would i need to create a gold card for that to work? or could i just use a sd card reader download and hboot it from that point?

I've never heard of a gold card but just did a search and found info on it. Yay more stuff to research!
I'm not sure if you need one. Someone else will have to answer that. I didn't need one. But then I used unrevoked to get root, now I'm not even running that stock rom.

I think I bricked a wildfire s

My girlfriend just picked up a Wildfire S on Virgin Mobile USA on Nov 25th 2011(last week) at radio shack. It came stock with android version 2.3.4(ive seen most used to be 2.3.3). I was able to use the GOLDCARD to get s-off, then used the root file. From there she has been using the phone since. Then we learn about the low internal storage. In an attempt to get more internal storage, I flashed the [ROM]Wildfire S -JikantaruROM XE™ based on the install instructions on that page. The flash went well, but.... The wifi would not connect, It was not finding any data for Virgin Mobile or sprint or anything. I then tried another rom, but same issues. I then tried to flash to one of the stock roms titled "RUU_Marvel_Virgin_Mobile_1.37.351.1_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_188032_signed.exe", the program got up to 22%, then the phone kinda just shut off, then the program errored out.
Now when I try to turn on the phone, it will just vibrate 3 times. I have tried powering on with power, power and volume -, no bootloader. just 3 vibrations, not vibrations with green or orange led lighting up with the vibrations(as I have found online). Does this mean its bricked??

there a way to fix it by creating a goldcard and run the ruu now press ctrl+r and type %temp% once your temp folder loads do a search in the temp folder for rom.zip rename that to to cant remember ill edit this post in a minute with the name you now copy the renamed file to the root of your sdcard and boot the phone as if you were going into hboot leave the phone for half and hour to 45 minutes to be on the safe side you the pull the battery and put it in again now try and boot your phone that worked on my mates wfs lets hope it works for you.
edit: rename it to PG76DIAG.zip its case senseitive.
p.s. most of the custom roms here are for gsm handsents and NOT cdma.

In fact ALL are for gsm. Do not flash anything before reading... Also, ALWAYS backup.

Is the correct filename not PG76IMG.zip?

I dont understand how I can create a goldcard if the phone will not power on. doesnt the sd card have to be in the phone in order to get the number from the sd card??
anyways, I think I will just bring it back to radioshack and get it replaced. What are the possibilities of finding a cdma rom for this phone??

If the phone vibrates three times and then flashes orange when you turn it on, you are in the radio bootloader, and not fully bricked yet.
If you hook up your usb cable, it will look for HTC Diagnostic Interface driver and install a virtual COM port for it. Then you could use putty/mutty to connect.
Now you can use radata to flash to a certain offset and size, but the image has to be in RAM, so unless you JTAG'd it, it probably wont work.
Here are more commands, but only available if you're s-off. Maybe someone else knows how we can flash in radio bootloader mode.

Hi mate, i think that the Ruu was maybe the uk version of virgin mobile not usa and if im on the right line us uses cdma uk is gsm, so maybe it froze up trying to install the radio which was incompatible.
Ive also seen a thread about the 3 vibrations apparently its a hardware diagnostic mode if you search there are solutions.

Nope, as I stated in the first post. just 3 vibrations, not vibrations with green or orange led lighting up with the vibrations(as I have found online). anyways, I already returned the phone and got a new one. but i believe it to be the whole gsm/cdma differences. makes a lot of sense.

Can you make the directions more clear? I have a hard time understanding them.

The same think happened to me when I tried to used the (what I now know) the wrong RUU on my Virgin Mobile Wildfire S.

Same thing happened to me. My phone just vibrates 3 times then nothing. Did anyone find a fix to this?

It means its in quallcom diagnostic mode. I dunno how to get it out. But those terms in google should help.

Only Get 3 Vibes

Yes I have searched and no I have not solved my problem so I decided to post here after accidentally posting in the Incredible thread.
I flashed the wrong RUU and now my phone will only vibrate three times no matter what I do. I have tried holding the buttons as described, 3 vibes. Pulled the battery and held all different combinations of buttons while plugging in, 3 vibes.
I can not get 5 vibes out of my phone.
I have made a goldcard, 3 vibes, no love.
Any other suggestions? VM support are full of stupid people that can't seem to realize I have three phones so they keep saying my issue is resolved and I can't understand half of them anyway. wish I spoke Indian, maybe we could communicate.
Any help is greatly appreciated at this point. I am very savy computer wise and have been able to root my LG Elite and unbrick my LB OV but this on is really getting me.
Thanks ahead of time.

1-Take an appropriate RUU
2-Run it on the computer
3-Just as the first screen occurs close the setup
4-Go to the temp folder (%temp% in run) and searh for a zip file named "rom"
5-Take that file out,rename it "PG76IMG.zip"
6-Put it on the root of the SDcard(no folders)
7-Power on your phone while holding the Volume down button
8-After some time you will feel some vibes........press volume up then
9-Hopefully your phone will boot after 20-30 minutes

The phone isn't bricked. I think 3 vibes means it is in Qualcomm Diagnostics mode. You'd still need a jtag for a bricked phone.

You can try this method:
If you have made a correct Gold Card and put the correct PG76IMG.zip file on it, then;
1: Take your battery out.
2: Put the battery back.
3: Press and Hold BOTH Volume UP and Volume DOWN then the Power Button.
Now wait to see it the PG76IMG.zip will load.

Didn't work need Goldcard?
No it didn't work, I never get 5 vibes and I am having a heck of a time getting a goldcard made without the phone. Sorry it took so long to reply I guess I wasn't being sent messages or they went to my spam folder one of the two.
So now here I am, I worked on trying t get a goldcard made and the thing fixed for hours last night, went through every tutorial I could find and nothin, still in the same 3 vibe mode. :crying:
I tried everything from using an LG that I have to looking up more Goldcard tools than I can even remember. Every time I would maje the card whether through the HEX edit method or tools that say they will make it for you they failed. When inserted into the computer they all said they need formatted and if inserted into a phone I would get a damaged sd-card notice.
I am totally at a loss here and ready to give up. Funny that I have been able to repair both the LG's that I have (Elite and V) at least back t working order and have even been able to make progress on the NVram thing I was having problems with on the Elite without even posting about it but not this HTC when it sounds so easy. How stupid for HTC to require some goldcard thing anyway.
I have now turned on instant email notifications so if anyone out there has any idea what I am doing wrong I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks!
I hate those dang image verification things! Grrr....

At a loss
I have tried everything I can find all over the internet. Is this phone just done?
I finally got a goldcard made using linux. Looked at the stock RUU's available from HTC and tried the Virgin Mobile for Marvel and the Sprint for marvelc. Phone never does anything expect vibrate three times no matter how I try to start it or what RUU I use. I have extracted the rom.zip out of each and renamed it to PG76IMG.zip. I just don't know what I am doing wrong. I see other people that have fixed this problem and I know I can too.
I keep seeing that the phone should vibrate five times after it verifies the image but I never have been able to get it to do that.
If any of you have actually fixed this problem personally can you please tell me your exact steps and any way I can verify what is happening, I'm getting really tired of this. I don't know what the heck to try next.
