[SOLVED] Semi Bricked HTC Desire - Need help

Hello guys, I have a major problem on my HTC Desire. Most of it is my fault but please try to help out here and not judge me... :/
I use Miuimod. I had the 1.8.1 version and I went to install 2.1. The thing is that (for the first time!!!) I didn't check the last page of thread to find out that Miuimod 2.1 for Desire a major bug that forces an endless reboot.
And that's not all... Don't ask me why but.. I didn't make a NANDroid backup... :/ I was in a hurry and I didn't check the button from ROM Manager menu.
Also for a reason, I cannot boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. I only have hboot. Hboot lets you install a ROM only with the name update.zip. But even though I have renamed the last OpenDesire ROM as update.zip, it won't install it cause it doesn't have the proper signature.
So I'm kinda stuck with a semi bricked HTC Desire. Any suggestions?
(And just for the record, yeah, lesson learned... )

Are you s-off? If so, just flash a new recovery image through fastboot.

Wrong forum, Q/A should be right...
Try flashing clockwork over fastboot:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img"
Put your SD in your computer and copy a ROM.zip on it, than flash as usual ?

Why why why??
What have you learnt from this mistake? Yes, ALWAYS install a custom recovery. Saves you this kind of trouble.
Okay I'm of no help, but I just wanted to tell.

@markuz85 No I'm s-on. In order to change to s-off I need to boot into device (right?).
@westernmg I'm trying to but adb shows no devices and I'm kinda stuck there.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance...

Try to pull out the battery and wait a few seconds then power on the phone again and press power+vol- and select recovery.If this don't work try to reflash an official htc desire rom renamed in update.zip from hboot.

Thanks for the answer. Can't find an official rom though. Can you point me at one?
@9600pro87 I did what you said but still nothing...

Try this: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe

Sorry, this is the correct link.

Run this program update from windows with the phone connected to the pc.

Am I missing something? These files are .exe. How am I suppose to use them?Shouldn't be .zip so I can install them via hboot?

Run the program from windows with the phone connected via usb cable.

Oh ok, but as I said, I can only boot to the hboot recovery. So at what point should I run the .exe?

Hboot is ok, at least with phone off too if i remember right. The updater reboot the phone automatically.

It doesn't work. I get error [170] "Cannot connect to phone.." etc. Is it that I have changed the Radio?
I'm posting you the information on fastboot in case we can figure something out:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO 5.10.05.23

Any other suggestion?

Fortunately I solved the problem. This is what I did:
I basicaly rerooted my phone using Modaco's method. So when finished I had the default ROM again. Thank you all for your help!

Good that you solved the issue. But just so you know, that method of rooting is outdated. Rooting does not need downgrading, as of current hboots

search next time and you would have found your answer. and questions DO NOT belong in the development section. that could have been avoided by reading the stickies. which btw, would have lead you right to the thread to unroot. my advice, dont post in this thread again to let it die else you will get flamed back to the stone age.

i did follow that but i get an error :O and my bad for posting in the wrong section

Looks like ur stuck with the new locked Hboot. Hold off until an exploit is found or unrEVOked is updated.

hahah which is what version ???

go to recovery and tell us what hboot you have? If you have the new one
you kind off doomed (for now)

i have hboot 2.10.001

Desire HD pd98diag.zip no image!fails to boot

I did a restart on my device, I started getting this :
loading pd98diag.zip no image! loading pd98diag.nbh no imade or wrong image etc...
I tried to take out the battery for 2 minutes and tried, still the same error.
Also copied update.zip ( modaco custom 2.3 rom) and updated it, still the same.
Any idea how to fix this?

What are you trying to do? Unless you have a PD98IMG.zip on your SDcard you will get that every time you boot into bootloader.

i have same problem with Desire HD.
I have Hboot and the phone when rebooted, it search pd98DIAG.ZIP
You can download it from somewhere and then put on the sdcard?
the device is NOT rooted

Me too i have the same problem. I downloaded the file PD98IMG.zip 260mb and i put it in the root of the memory card but nothing happens.
I holp some one could help us.

Heres the gingerbread rom and radio. If you guys want to try this one out. Just place in root of sd then power up into hboot with volume down and power button at same time. When asked to install volume up for yes let it do its thing then reboot when told to. Good luck guys you can then flash whatever rom you want after that. This is the stock rooted rom so your phone must be rooted to use.
Do not rename file, just place as is in root.

if you device is S-ON it won´t flash a not at&t signed ruu. In that case, you should run the official at&t Gingerbread update, that can be found in here
Boot in fastboot and plug the phone.....

ok...I will send u a PM with a link to download a file...if you want me to help on line we can arrange to do it over teamviewer...if not just the usual way...rename to PD98IMG.zip and then boot in hboot...

If your phone is not roooted, you will NOT be able to flash ANY custom rom. The only option you have is to download the stock rooms(depending on where you get your phone, it could be carrier based) and flash it.
PD98IMG.zip is a file that many of us use for many other purpose, not necessary for roms only, it could be for radios/bootscreen yada yada... so what did you tried to do in the first place? what was the contect of your PD98IMG.zip ?
Bear in mind though, your data(internal) will be gone once u flashed a new rom.

I have a cell that is stationary in hboot. Should I try to get it back operational, usable. that's all

I tried other PD98IMG.ZIP and PD98img least loaded the zip and tried to do update with that file you sent me yesterday charging the zip and then lands, does not attempt to upload.
i renamed your file PD98IMG-GB2.ZIP ON PD998IMG.ZIP and i put on the sdcard.
The device checking the file and it blocked.
So in my opinion not good for my device

That is the RUU for your CID number...it should work. Then, there's something missing. Boot in fastboot, plug it in, and then open a cmd as admin and type
fastboot getvar all
Check the CID Number and get back to me....

Becouse your phone is S-ON you must manualy flash boot.img. If i remember, you must copy from your ROM.zip "boot.img" to if you use SDK to "platform-tools" then go to fastboot, attach the USB and tipe "flash boot boot.img"

when i try it - result is "sending boot ....... FAILED(status malformed)"
Phone is in hboot mode

Fastboot: "Main Version is Older. Update fail."

I've been searching for an answer to this particular problem but nothing obvious has come up yet.
I've got a refurbished Wildfire S which I've unlocked using the HTC Dev. site and installed CM9 upon using the rom available in these forums. Initially I flashed clockworkmod via fastboot, but after installing CM9 it is no longer possible to boot to fastboot from a turned-off phone; the error message in the title is shown. I can still boot to recovery by booting the OS and choosing to reboot to recovery from there, although this is not likely to be useful if I ever need to fix an OS problem.
The phone is S-ON. Would gaining S-OFF help, and is there a way to do this without reflashing the OS? Or, is some sort of hboot update required? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You're quite right - thanks!

Soft Bricked HTC M9! need help as now I have to use my old iPhone!

I went to update to marshmallow the other day & followed a tutorial
I have an unlocked bootloader & S-OFF with theTWRP recovery.
every single custom ROM or signed rom doesn't seem to have an affect.
What could I have done to cause this bootloop?
or is there anyway to see an error log as to why its not booting.
thank you.

Which tutorial you followed to update to Marshmallow?

Tutorial I Followed
Unfortunately I can't post links just yet as I've only just found out about this site.
but if you type in google "wonder how to return-your-htc-one-100-stock-unroot-update" its the first link
I think my problem is a confliction with the firmware, ruu and mid that I'm using but I dont have the android knowledge to know which one & get it out of bootloop.
Plus I only got to step 4 before my phone broke,
When I try to flash boot a 2 gig RUU file it says fail
When I Try to boot from TWRP recovery with custom roms it all goes through but then still gives me the bootloop (I also delete my cache's)
I have bee researching for days now as I hate having to go back to Iphone & desperately need a fix.
thank you!

@ steviedee12345
Make sure the RUU is the correct one matching the CID of your phone
change the name of the RUU to 0PJAIMG.ZIP and put it on SDCard then reboot to download mode
should be yellow text at bottom of screen (volume up to flash volume down to cancel)
(make sure SD card is fat32 and the 0PJAIMG zip file is the only thing on the card)

After days of trying to fix this you have helped me so much!
You are amazing! The problem was the wiping the SD card so its the only thing on there, I would never have got that!
Now, its asking me to update the device & it takes me to TWRP every time, how do I get it to update when there is a custom recovery installed?

Flash stock recovery in fastboot have look in the link might help you!
