My wife going to kill me
This is where the instructions I was using goldcard was succesful etc
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-desire/
The last stage I reach was n0.7
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it

Firstly, I'd recommend using unrevoked to root the phone. The way you are using is old and complicated.
Secondly, i imagine that your hboot is not 0.8 which means you'll need to downgrade.
It might be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750852 that you need to read and follow, although I'm not sure.
It would help if you knew what hboot you were.

With goldcard in the device, can you flash http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe successfully?

This is crap

The RUU itself can't put into bootloader?
If you want to try unrevoked, this is the post you need:
Q. My screen goes blank when I use custom recovery with unrevoked3.
A. You have an SLCD display and will need to use an updated recovery image until unrevoked3 itself is updated. It is safe to use this updated image on AMOLED screens too. You can download the image here: http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749551 - has everything about slcd rtc

The main problem is my screen is black and I cant see anything although windows is still detecting device

Instead of the RUU, try giving unrevoked a whirl with that custom recovery image (make sure phone is unplugged whilst started unrevoked). Also, follow the instructions from unrevoked about installing the htc drivers (unless you have already installed the latest htc drivers).
Battery pull, then turn on whilst holding volume down. Hopefully this will give you bootloader and unrevoked should be able to do its magic (if you select that custom recovery image)
This will give you root.

1. Choose desire then download.
2. Follow instructions in hboot driver.html (to make sure your phone is recognised correctly)
3. Run reflash.exe
4. File>Custom Recovery (Ctrl+R)
5. Download and select http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
6. Plug in desire - hopefully you have USB debugging enabled. If not, I think you can achieve root by loading bootloader yourself (battery pull device and then vol down + power)

I done everything but still dont understand what to do with this recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
the drivers were installed correctly and my computer can see my device,
But still no luck I think I'm missing something I cant see anything on my screen, I know the device alive as I can hear the atrt up sound and compuer now detect in device manager

This is what hapens when I try to attempt flashing with official ruu

Ok unplug the desire from the pc then battery pull and then hold volume-down (on left hand side of the phone) and then press power (whilst holding volume-down). Then plug in and run the RUU again.
With that recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img, you select it in unrevoked by pressing ctrl + r (on windows) and then just connect your desire.
Do the RUU first

first think u sholud know about rooting is hboot version.. maybe you have hboot 083 version

Its detected and ruu runs and check my current version and shows which version I'm uploading to, the problem is its trying to detect bootloader and thats where its failed

Did you do what i said? battery pull, then voldown + power?

This is the failed flash ruu after trying to find bootloader
I think this is getting hopeless and I want to thank so far all those who are helping me

[Q] Bricked htc desire Help Needed Please!

Hi my power and volume buttons of my HTC desire failed so i opted to install a custom rom so i could change the wake up key from power to the menu key.
I downloaded rom manager and clockworkmod and installed CM7 via the rom manager download page. after restarting and backing up files and installing it now is frozen at the CM7 loading screen. I have been told this is a bootloader loop or something like this.
My problem is I cant recover my old OS because the power button and volume buttons are still not working so I need a windows based solution to recover my phone with maybe fastboot or adb.
Any help on what rom i need and the commands i need to type would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Michael

Hi Michael,
are you still stuck at the bootanimation? What is the state of your desire? How did you root, are you S-OFF?
To use commandline based tools, you have to get into fastboot first. Fastboot commands only work, if you are S-OFF.
Some more info would be useful.
Regards,
Markus

Thanks for your quick reply. yes i can get into fastboot and hboot and fastboot devices does return my device ID. I hope that means my phone isnt beyond help. I used clockwork and unrevoked to root my phone. Just seen it is s-on can i change this with adb or fastboot

bravo pvt3 ship s-on
hboot-0.93.0001
microp-051d
Is all the info my phone is dispalying but i might be able to get more from adb or fastboot if that will help

You can't flash anything via fastboot, if you still have a stock HTC HBOOT (S-ON). Can you also get into CWM recovery? That would be my choice. CWM recovery can give your windows pc sd-card access. Put a working ROM (*.zip) to the root of your sd-card, wipe everything via recovery and start over with a new flash (install *.zip from sd-card in recovery). You are miles away from bricked... everything will be ok.
Is this your first custom rom experience?

I cant use cwm as my volume and power buttons aren't working. I have rooted it ages ago and installed a custom firmware but didnt like it as it was missing the htc specific stuff and restored it fine using the recovery option but now without the afore mentioned keys working I cant get to the recovery options. Im guessing adb or fastboot cant set my s-on to s-off then.

If you can connect via adb you might want to try "adb reboot recovery". If you have CWM recovery in place (unrevoked should have installed this) you can navigate with your trackpad and don't need vol up / down / power. But I think your phone has to be booted up to receive adb commands.

I get device not found with all adb commands.
I get various different resonses with fastboot commands Ie fastboot devices shows my device. fastboot reboot turns my phone off and on and fastboot reboot-bootloader brings me back to the screen im on at the minute.
My track pad is not moving anything on my phone what is weird about my phone is my volume buttons were working for volume control (before i flashed it) but they weren't turning the pages of my kindle books any more. that happened after my power button problem arrived.

Your trackpad would work in recovery, but your not able to get there. You're stuck at the bootloader options, where you have to navigate with vol up / down / power button. What still will work is flashing of a stock HTC ROM via RUU. You can get signed HTC RUUs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667. This will wipe your phone and revert it back to stock (no root, no custom recovery).

This sounds promising. Question 1 for me and others that may follow this thread in the future. What is RUU and if i download a vodaphone rom will it be locked to vodaphone as my phone was a vodaphone when i got it but it was unlocked atthe time and I have it on O2 now

RUU = ROM Update Utility
It has integrated flash tools and will reset everything to factory defaults. If you want to send your phone in to service, you should flash a ROM which originally came with your phone (Vodafone branded??). Branded ROMs have nothing to do with locking your phone to a carrier (SIM-lock). They are just customized by different carriers with more or less modifications (i.e. preinstalled apps).
Hope you have some luck with RUU, I have to sign off for today.

im downloading the ruu bravo vodaphone uk one its an exe so i figure i put my phone in fastboot mode and run the exe. is that right

Ok thanks for your help markus i will post if this works so others can see its a working method if they have a similar problem

How did you get on? Is your desire up and running?

just about to run the app now domey. I have my phone in fastboot manu with usb plugged in. wish me luck lol

That's how it should work. I hope it will work for you. You can redo rooting / customizing, once you have a booting device
Have a look at LeeDrOiD 2.3d then (leedroid.com). It's based on HTC Sense ROMs, very stable and you can push your trackpad to wake up the phone.

returning to stock

Hello All,
my desire hd recently decided to break down (the volume rocker wont work, wifi and bluetooth).. althought its still under warranty and i would like to restore it back to normal before i bring it back to vodafone..
however since the volume rocker wont work, how can i restore back to stock rom? or am i really sc**wed? i believe i am, unless proven wrong?
thank you in advance

You don't really need the volume rocker to get back to stock. Here's some short instructions from this thread. Remember to use a branded RUU if your phone was branded when you got it.
jkoljo said:
To go back to S-ON(/STOCK):
Flash stock ROM (RUU)

Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)

sorry to disturb you again
but to restore the stock rom, i need to get into bootloader,
i cant select stuff from the boot loader as the volume rocker doesnt work?
is there a way i can get around this?
thanks

If I remember correctly there's no need to get to the bootloader. You run the RUU on the computer with the phone connected to HTC Sync.
Sent from my RCMix powered pocketsized supercomputer using XDA App

That is true. Another option is to connect your device to a PC, get my radio s-off tool (for example), go to it's folder in command line and type command "adb.exe reboot bootloader".

If all you want is to get into recovery, you can use Rom Manager to boot you into recovery.

Desire restart after 15 minutes if intense use

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

-___- How do you not know if you've rooted the phone and flashed custom software?

You should ask your friend if he has bought the phone from a store or if he has rooted it before. Otherwise you have to hand it in to the repair centre

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

I'd bet money that most Rooted Bravo's are still S-On...not reliable.
OP, do you have the "Super User" or "SU" app installed? If yes your phone is rooted and likely running a custom ROM.

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.

[Q] Does anyone know of a way to force on USB debugging?

bottom line is nope. how is the device reacting? is it just black screening with vibrations?
totally of topic but 1000 posts XD

I'm a bit confused with this diagnostic mode?
If i remember correctly i was able to go into it with vol up + power but then after a battery pull it would reboot just fine........
Maybe as Lesicnik mentioned not so long back the volume button might be stuck or faulty hence pressing the power button will equal vol up+power and start diag mode.

qualcomm diagnostic mode happens when you f**k up the phone so bad that it doesnt know what else to do, and reverts to what i think is the backup firmware on the nand chip? not 100% sure. it usually results in the phone powering on but not showing anything on screen. but vibrates a few times depending on what the issue is. sometimes you can "blindboot" which is where you take a stock rom.zip from a ruu and place it on the sdcard and boot to bootloader. then by using time (ie waiting) and logic (when to try push volume up to update the rom+reboot) you can sometimes manage to restore the phone. as far as i am aware the guys over at the evo 3d forum are very advanced in how this mode actually functions. the htc sensation unbricking project, which helps people fix their phones after an attempt to s-on kills it was made with the help of the evo 3d guys knowledge. also i think jupuntobear s-off puts the phone into download mode before you do the "wire trick" to drop write security. so it is possible to fix this issue but it is quite a hard nut to crack.

Have already taken phone apart and checked all connections as my first thought was that something may have worked itself loose after being dropped or something.
Vol up + power and the phone buzzes/vibrates 3 times.
Managed to do a blind factory reset - vol down + power wait for a bit, then vol down etc, etc. After about 3-4 minutes I was able to push the soft buttons which light and vibrate. I am unable to do anymore than this due to usb debugging being off as I need to use adb to make a gold card and run a ruu. Thanks anyway.

do you know what network the phone was locked too? you could hunt for the offical ruu from that network with the 1.01.0002 hboot and try to blind boot that to restore the phone. if you can tell me the network its on i will help you hunt for the ruu 3 vibes is better than 5 as far i know. ive heard of people recovering from 3 vibes.
also, if you have access to another wildfire you can use that to make the goldcard and then use that on the damaged phone then it should run any ruu that has an equal or higher hboot ^^

The phone is locked to Vodafone UK. I've just spoken to my sister whose phone it was (she's not the most technically clued up of people) and she can't remember whether she upgraded to froyo or not. She's now got a GS2 and hasn't even done the official OTA update to ICS (and Touchwizzed Jellybean is on the horizon). So I'm betting its still on Eclair, but I can't be 100% sure. I've looked on the Vodafone UK site and the latest Wildfire software version is '2.24.161.2', which they are only giving out through an OTA. I'm not having much luck googling it either.
I don't have any access to another Wildfire, so the only thing I can think of is if I can find someone else who would be so kind as to make and upload a goldcard for me :fingers-crossed: (highly unlikely), otherwise I think the phone may be taking a trip to environphone (they give £20 for a working wildfire). I'll spend another couple of hours on it, seeing what I can come up with, but it's looking bleak at the moment .

I've looked on the Vodafone UK site and the latest Wildfire software version is '2.24.161.2', which they are only giving out through an OTA. I'm not having much luck googling it either.
I don't have any access to another Wildfire, so the only thing I can think of is if I can find someone else who would be so kind as to make and upload a goldcard for me :fingers-crossed: (highly unlikely), otherwise I think the phone may be taking a trip to environphone (they give £20 for a working wildfire). I'll spend another couple of hours on it, seeing what I can come up with, but it's looking bleak at the moment .

ok i have found a vodaphone rom that is from denmark, or germany it may be enough to do it. also, the goldcard is specific to the sdcard that is used to make it buddy :/ but! although i may not have a wildfire i do have the xtc clip so i can make a goldcard for the wildfire. so if you were willing to post a small micro-sdcard to me i could make it for you i am currently uploading the rom to mediafire now. will edit this with a link asap
EDIT: ok here is the rom.zip i was talking about, rename it to pc49img.zip and try do a cold boot up to fix it.
