[Q] Desire HD Not Booting (Flashing Orange LED) - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys, hoping someone can help me:
I have a Desire HD that has been rooted with S-OFF, after flashing a new ROM, the device wouldn't boot, when trying to start the device up, it will vibrate 3 times and flash the LED. If I try boot into recovery, it vibrates 5 times with a flashing green LED.
At the moment all I have is ADB access (no fastboot) and can't boot into the bootloader screen.
Through ADB I was able to reflash the recovery using the flash_image tool and I can boot into recovery by connecting the USB cable, I have flashed a few different ROMS through recovery, but the device will still not boot after this, I'm thinking the issue might be the radio image, which I have not been able to flash through flash_image (get -1 error code when trying this).
Any suggestions on how to proceed or what to try would be much appreciated, I'm also not fully clued up on what all can be done through ADB, so any suggestions on that front would also be appreciated.

Did u try runing a ruu.. use AAHK it will help u to flash the ruu provided ur phone is recognised by the computer..

Thanks for your response.
I have tried running RUU from the PC, which I got from here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
The utility gives an error saying it cannot connect to the device, does the update utility not require me to boot into the bootloader to work?
I also tried downloading a few of the RUU zips there, but so far I haven't been able to flash them, just get an error "Can't to open <Filename>.zip (bad)", however I have checked that the zips are not corrupt, and I am able to flash other custom roms, not sure why it fails on these.
I also tried a bit with AAHK, but couldn't get it to flash anything, I put the custom rom in the folder as per the instructions, but it failed... perhaps I'm doing it wrong? maybe a bit of a walk through on how I would just flash the ROM through AAHK would help.

When you rooted phone did it say if its s-off in hboot. Try entering hboot. Power phone off then power up phone holding power button and volume down button at same time. If you can enter hboot and it says s-off get the rooted stock pd98img zip which also includes radio. Place on root of sd (no folder) power back up into hboot and let it do its thing. Volume up for yes when asked to install power button when asked to reboot.

Yip, my phone was rooted with S-OFF a good while ago, only got the issue recently after flashing a new rom. I can't get into HBOOT, when I try, it vibrates 5 times and flashes the green LED with a blank screen.

Sounds like your bootloader is messed up and not the radio. Search how to push the bootloader img.
Edit: sorry I'm on way to work or I would help you search. But I know there is a thread how to fix bootloader since you cant enter hboot which sounds like its your problem. You need to fix the bootloader. Do a google see what comes up from xda.

Ok, thanks, have looked around, not found anything yet, but I'll carry on looking and see what I come up with, appreciate the help.

Any luck with this. I'm in the same pickle. Running JellyTime and it just stopped working. Will not boot, and recovery mode just flashed amber light. It is an android desire hd.

I would say that its a fried emmc chip, if that isn't the case (I doubt) you can use a JTAG and a riff box to recover the phone over OPST, the equipment needed can be quite costly, so taking it to a mobile repair shop that does jtagging, should work

Are you able to flash any rom at all? I would try flashing a stock rom if possible. The re-root.

Didn't manage to get the device working unfortunately... seemed like the issue may have been hardware related though, hope it's not the same for you and you get it sorted.

[HELP][Q] May have bricked desire?!

Hi there,
Yesterday I gave my younger cousin my phone to play angry birds and a few other games for him to give me my phone back stuck on the boot screen. I asked him what he done for him to say it ran out of battery and he tried to switch it back on and it was like that. Few minutes later and he had owned up to going into Rom Manager and going into a few things!
It was running AuraxTSense v8.2. I had clockwork recovery installed but it doesn't seem to be booting up when I am going into recovery.
I am able to get into HBOOT and then into recovery. When it comes up and I press VOL+ and Power I get into 'Android system recovery <2e>' with a message coming up in yellow writing 'E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command'.
I still have 4 options and I have tried a couple of roms with 'Apply sdcard:update.zip' but whenever I try it I get E:signature verification failed.
It may be something simple I'm missing or it may not but I am now stuck and am now having to ask those with greater knowledge of the phone for help.
It would be much appreciated,
Craig
Do you have s-off? If you do you can flash another recovery from hboot, if your not s-off, download a htc ruu and put your device in fastboot mode, connect to pc and run the ruu
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
No idea about s-off! Had a look at the ruu's but no idea what one to download. My phone is unbranded.
If it was unbranded out the box then download 2.29.405.5 and flash that. It'll get you back to stock and then you can root again. You will lose all data doing this, though
If your device is unbranded just use the latest one like i said just put your phone in fastboot and the ruu will recognise it

[Q] Desire Z Rooted or not?

i have purchased a 2nd hand desire z from someone, i noticed it has clockwork and rom manager installed, i think it also has super user rights. I also noticed that the rom is Virtuous 1.0.1. Thinking this meant that the phone was already rooted, i used rom manager to download and install CM7, however it caused the phone to be semi bricked, then i also realised that the phone was also S-ON.
Fortunately i managed to reboot the phone into CWM and restored the previous image, so now the question is, what is wrong?
PS. new to this whole android thingy..
hmmm... sounds like MAYBE you had a temp root?? Is you had superuser you definitely had some form of root, however, i am not sure you can flash a new rom if you dont have S-off (but i could be TOTALLY wrong here)
I have an Evo (and dont have this temp root issue), but i am helping a friend with a similar problem with his G2.
Can you get into recovery? (while phone is off, hold the volume down and power on the phone) If you can, do you have Clockwork recovery or stock android (says 3e at the top i think)?? If you have CW, just enable USB, download a CM7 through your computer, put it on your SD and flash it. SHould be good to go.
If you have stock recovery and S-on.. WELCOME TO MY BOAT... I am trying to find a solution to this for my friends phone. If i figure it out, i can let you know (please do the same??)
I am having the same problem, with the same rom. I can use all root apps, but it says S is ON? I can't put any other rom on my phone with out it going into boot loop or just staying on, HTC screen. Some one please help us, I know there are many phone guru's on this site. Any help would be over the top. O-yeah and I can not get the wifi to connect either says error or turns it self off after scanning? Please please please help. Thank you in advance.

[Q] Phone won't boot after failed root [w/ Video]

Hey guys.
I'll keep it short and simple. I just had my phone back from insurance. They sent me a replacement. It was originally unbranded. But now it's a T-Mobile handset. I was using Ace Hack kit to root the phone. Half way through the radio.img update the USB just spazzed out. So the phone disconnected.
Now when it boots. The T-Mobile logo appears.. then fades out.
I can boot into the bootloader and use fastboot. I attempted using a RUU to fix it but it just gets stuck on 'sending' until it says Unknown Error.
So I can access it through fastboot USB. Is there any thing I can do with ADB to get it running again? I just got it back today aswell. Damn.
Appreciate all your helps! Thanks!

that is fully covered in the manual...just plug the phone (if you did not factory reseted it) and run the hack kit from the black screen. That should update and finish the process...
I can't see if you are S-OFF in hboot, but if u are, then just flash CWM recovery and then a custom rom....it's up to you.

DO NOT FLASH A FROYO RUU or HBOOT on a device shipped with gb. Your phone will get messed up and its a PITA to fix. The op needs to fix his connection issues before attempting the kit again. The easiest is using a live cd.
A pd98 will also get you back up and running to a useable phone.

And keep the usb plugged in this time, i had same problem with a friend's phone and with the help of aahk irc i managed to flash boot image through adb ( big pain it took almost 30 mins) and afterwards a working ruu and when everything was stock and i ran aahk again my friend's little sister unpluged usb by mistake so i flashed a dhd all night long, the point is kill everything/everyone that might interfear with flasing a phone.

In the midlle of installation, about 22%, when my HDH rebooted, said error, now my phone won't even boot antything, only when I put it to charge it shows orang led indicator, and after some time it shows black screen with silver HTC screen.. :/ Desperate, any kind of help, suggestion please..
Connect it through the ace hack kit, and start from scratch.
did it automatically download the downgrade ruu? Or is that one you downloaded yourself? Did you disconnect it thinking it had finished or something?

Thanks for answering..
When I've got my phone, it was stock 2.3.5, i've unlocked bootloaders, downloaded ace hack kit, rooted, instaled cwm, s-off, installed couple of custom roms. Then, i've locked my phone via fastboot oem lock. Today, I wanted to unlock it again, to instal sabsa prime, but when i reach fastboot oem get_identifier_token it points to some kind of bootloader err error command. When i started the ace kit it demanded the downgrade, but, when the downgrade is downloaded, pushed to phone, phone restart to hboot, but wont flush it. So, i wanted to downgrade on my own. I've downloaded as i said ruu, started flashing, and thats pretty much it.. It showed error, i havent disconnected it on my own.
I can only connect phone by pressing volume up and power, i have a blinking orange led indicator and it reports as qualcomm cdma technologies msm to my computer..
i thought that aahk can only be used for the stock rom.. if you already have s-off and have cwm, just flash the new rom in recovery..

You couldn't have run AAHK on an unlocked bootloader. Exactly what have you done to your phone up to this point in time? What does your bootloader say now?

i cant enter to hboot, i cant start phone, only when i push volume up + power i have orange led blinking, and when i attach phone to pc, pc recognize it as a qualcomm cdma technologies..
from stock rom, unlocked bootloader via htcdev, used ace AAHK, instaled few custom roms, then relocked bootloader via fastboot (fastboot oem lock), then flashed ruu RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed. After that i wanted to unlock bootloader again, in fastboot got the (bootloader) [ERR] command error !!!, when runed AAHK, AAHK needed a downgrade, downgrade was downloaded, pushed to phone, but when phone restarted to hboot, downgrade coulndt be flashed, it shows PD98IMG-GB2 as a wrong image or something. Then I downloaded RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.1_Radio_12.21.60.12_26.02.00.09_M_test_148662, started flash, my phone rebooted, and instead rebooting to ruu (black screen), phone just shuted down, ruu on pc showed error, that is it. I've tried to power on phone on different ways, but nothing, just once after i plugged it to pc, showd me black screen with silver letters, now won't even show that. Only with volume up + power, with orange led blinking, and somethimes, after some time attached to pc, phone connects, but how i figured out from computer managment, like a mass storage. Hope you understanded what i said.. :/

Yes, i did a full wipe before flashing...
I cant see if i´m S-ON or Off because i can´t go to the original boot menu, but i think its S-Off because the Rom that was in the phone before i messed with it was not the original

An unlocked bootloader with S-On still permits flashing of custom ROMs. Is your recovery updated? If not, do that.

The guide in post #7 of the guide in my signature is pretty clear. Read that. What is important to know is whether your phone is S-On bootloader unlocked or S-Off. Since you didn't hang on the boot splash when you flashed ARHD, I'm guessing S-Off. But just to be safe: to find this information, reboot while holding power and volume-down. That is your bootloader, known as hboot. What does it say? Finally, my hunch is that you need to update your recovery. The guide has instructions for that, but basically, download the image to your computer and flash it from fastboot.
Oh, and you may need to install your drivers on your computer. Install HTC Sync from the HTC website.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824379. But if power and volume-down (you're using down, not up, right?) boot into CWM, sounds like a problem with your volume buttons.

I can see it now.... on the top of the boot menu says: *** UNLOCKED *** ACE PUT SHIP S-ON...
so i guess you were right.... whats the best ting to do then?
I think it may something to do with the boot image but dont know how to fix it

When you're tired, it's best to get some sleep. Most mistakes happen when sleepy and tired (been there!) so I'd suggest a little shut-eye and continue then
Sounds to me like the problem will get solved pretty soon, just read the guides and don't rush things. If unsure, read the guide (for what-ever you are doing) a second or a third time and don't try doing many things at the same time (ie.don't try updating your radio, rom, & recovery all at the same time ).
Pretty much anything can be fixed as long as you got recovery working so don't stress too much. Best of luck and hope you get your phone working soon :good:
Still havn´t found a solution for my problem, but i think i´m on to something....
I think the problem with my phone is the boot.img.... i can´t flash it correctly...
Dont know what program to use or what file to download.... i tried openning a command list but i and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" as i´ve seen on other posts but i always get "this is not known as an internal or external command, etc...."
What can i doooooooooooooo?!!!! going crazy with this
Hey buddy, stay calm haha. I had the exact same problem. The problem is that although you tried to flash it, you nee to have the boot.img and some files including fastboot.exe. All of the files you need and how to flash the rom are in a guide by glevitan. You can just google it.

You need drivers. Install HTC Sync from the HTC website.

You need to type fastboot from the cmd.

already did but it wont recognize the command
Then your drivers aren't working. Uninstall and reinstall with the phone unplugged.
