hey i was reading through the guide and wanted to root my phone and i did put all the root_psn psneuter gfree etc files in the platform-tools folder and used the commands on the phone. after all i did reboot on command prompt and on guide it was written that phone will root and u need to reboot. after that my phone is stuck on htc white screen with htc logo and doing nothing. tried rebooting but no luck. PLEASE HELP ME. and on my microsd card there is no rom right now
thanks in advance...
ok try this:
connect your phone to pc and start adb... type adb devices while stucked on screen and look if your phone shows up, if it does type adb reboot bootloader
or pull battery and press power & volume down to enter bootloader
then tell us whats written in your bootloader... means is it s-off and what hboot number?
thanks a lot for your reply.
it says ENG S-OFF

ok, doesn´t look to bad.
try to enter recovery, if it works mount usb storage put a rom you like on your sd unmount and flash it through recovery
if you can´t enter recovery you have to flash recovery using fastboot: download the image and put it in your platform tools folder; go to platform tools and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then enter recovery and do what i posted above...
i mounted my card and put in the runnydroid rom on it. then i used install zip from sdcard and it installed rom successfully but it is still not booting
don´t use a sense rom, take cm7... you need a different hboot for sense roms to boot (the desire z one)
EDIT: first try to boot into a aosp rom, if it works and you still want a sense 3.5 rom use this guide to change hboot: http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
hey i dont understand. which rom should i use? i have stock froyo rom which i used to downgrade my phone. which rom are u talking about? is it sense 3.0? will it work>?

it´s not sense, don´t use the one you have from downgrade. take cm7.1 from the link above
thanks a lot sir i am downloading and will tell if it works. i would like to know if i will be able to get back htc sense rom? i want runnydroid can u tell me how to get it after installing this rom? and if there is no way to get custom rom then at least is there way to get the froyo stock rom which i used to downgrade?
if you are able to boot in cm7 (which is a custom rom) you can install any custom rom you want... a good sense 2.0 rom for example is this one: http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/sense.html
for sense 3+ roms you have to change hboot (i already posted a link for a really easy guide)
...follow this guide and then put a sense rom of your choice on sdcard and flash it through recovery
but first hope that you can boot into cm7....
sir you are very nice my phone is now running well on this firmware. sir the link that you provided to me doesnt have anything about how to install sense roms or channge the hboot. please can you give any link to help me install a custom sense rom?thanks alot
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
and then flash a sense 3.5 rom (pls don´t call me sir)
thanks a lot so after
After the second reboot, the device will be sitting on the “HTC” screen doing nothing. This is normal, do not panic. It is because you have no ROM installed anymore.
after getting into recovery after all above steps, i can select custom sense zip file from sdcard and install>

Download PB99IMG.zip and put it on the root of ur sdcard (not in a folder) and then with ur phone off hold volume down + power. ur bootloader will look for the PB99IMG then ask u if u want to update recovery, volume up for YES, it will then ask you to reboot device, volume down for NO. Once its finished u now have 4ext recovery and just use volume buttons to navigate to recovery then press power button to enter recovery. I have tried it myself and it works, its the exact same method to install as Alpharev's hboots via PB99IMG.
Dont forget u must be S-OFF lol
Dont forget to delete it off sdcard once ur done or u will get asked to update everytime u enter bootloader

(Also u can extract the PB99IMG.zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot commands or android flasher)

Hi guys. I tried all the instructions, but the problem persists .... I have PVT4 S OFF .... zip file will be installed through the bootloader but nothing changed and the desire to restart the htc logo .....
not sure what ya mean. the phone shouldnt boot unless u pressed reboot. once u have PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard, hold volume down + power then bootloader will find PB99IMG and ask update recovery? volume up for yes, once its complete it asks u reboot device? press volume down for no then u will stay in bootloader menu and then press volume down to navigate to recovery n press power button to enter recovery. simples
i have tried it myself coz i wouldnt post it otherwise

i unpacked your zip file and installed the recovery.img via fastboot commands, but this didn't work, i still have the bootloops!
When in recovery did u do a full wipe? then reinstall the rom? Also make sure u have partitioned ur sdcard to whatever the dev recommends and have the correct hboot for that rom aswell

I've got a problem which is similiar,
The Desire was rooted once through alpharev, custom romed and used for a couple of days. Afterwards the rom was crap and the user decided to get back to 2.2. I don't know how the user installed 2.2 stock froyo but it was up and running again.
Now Root is wanted again, so i installed CWM 5.0.2.0 through fastboot, i can access CWM but as i select a feature like for example "wipe data/factory reset" or "reboot system now" only the background of CWM persists and the blue menu vanishes.
Returning to normal mode just through pulling the battery.

I would recommend 4ext recovery personaly. Anyway download the PB99IMG and rename it to just "PB99IMG.zip" put the PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard, boot into bootloader (vol down + power) and it will ask to update recovery, vol up for YES then it will ask to reboot device, vol down for NO. Then boot into recovery. Check if the rom is on ur sdcard by selecting install from sdcard. Let me know what it says.
Or u can download a new rom of ur choice by searching Desire Android Development, if u do choose a new rom let me know what coz ul more than likely have to partition sdcard and change hboots.

Thank u for the quick reply. I'll try 4ext instead of cwm, but iam a little bit confused what the difference may be.
Iam familiar with rom installing and sdcard formatting with ext partition for more space, i just cannot install any rom.zip because the recovery doesn't let me access its features.

Reflash the recovery in fastboot. Get 4EXT Touch recovery, boot into fastboot and write in cmd
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
u can get latest 4ext tecovery in my sig, just click PB99IMG 4ext recovery and extract the zip file then put recovery.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer, put ur phone into fastboot (with ur phone off hold back button + power) and plug it into ur computer (so it says "fastboot usb") then open fastboot command window and type -
fastboot erase recovery
(then type)
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
or... u could just do it the PB99IMG method, instructions in that link.
ps: next time post problems in desire Q&A

Damn. It's not working - neither ur way, nor the alternative solution.
When i type fastboot flash recovery, the console says "sending recovery <3784 KB>...." and then it freezes. There is a greeen rectangle in the left corner of the smartphone screen, but nothing happens.
When i tried the alternetive way (with recovery.img on sd card) HBOOT hasn't seen the image.
EDIT: I put ZIP on sdcard, HBOOT installed recovery, but it still freezes on HTC logo screen.
when u used PB99IMG to install recovery did u try enter recovery or just reboot?

When i installed it form bootloader, i didn't reboot. I tried to get into recovery immediately. No dice. So i've reinstalled it, tried to reboot, and then get in the recovery - still nothing.

1 more thing, Have u got HTC Sync installed? i think that it interfere's with fastboot n that. u only need the drivers installed.
U can get bootloader so it should be fixable, its just nothing is working lol.
The only thing i can think of is going back to s-on :crying:
you would have to flash alpharev downgrader, flash stock hboot and then run the 2.3 upgrade from bootloader. this is last resort so maybe someone can confirm first before trying. if it went well then u can just use revolutionary to gain s-off and instal CWM recovery
i wouldn't mind going on s-on again. But can u do that without ADB mode available?

not 100% sure but u can do it using the PB99IMG method. Basically u have to extract the rom.zip and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put on ur sdcard then hold volume down + power then bootloader will ask u to update. The same as before. just make sure u flash Alpharev downgrader first. (i know this works as i done it myself 2 month ago)
if u want i can post both downgrader and rom zip files if u want as PB99IMG?
Do u have stock hboot?
i guess stock hboot.
It would be very kind of you if u post both files here - i don't want to download any wrong files....
Thanks again!
Hey pals. I have an issue with my DHD...I am running CyanogenMod 10.1 and yesturday someone messed with the developer options and chose to emulate a 1024x760, or something like that, display. The phone froze and I had to remove the battery to shut it down...However when I try to do a factory reset through CWM recovery the phone freezes on the HTC logo and when I try to boot It freezes before reaching the home screen. I realized that this phone can't boot normally now cos the display emulation i talked about earlier is causing an issue, and the situation has been complicated by the fact that I cant use CWM recovery...So I cant acces the phone completely...So I am wondering if there is a way to undo that setting without using CWM recovery...Something like maybe removing the battery or opening it up n remove something for some time etc. Any help will be appreciated.

You are s-off dont use ruu, it may make you s-on.
Press Fastboot then do the flashing from cmd cd to your your-android-sdk-folder-location-here/platform-tools/fastboot.exe like cd c:/android/ then do fastboot flash recovery.img and make sure you have recovery.img in your tools folder. You can find a .img from the thread I posted previously (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2317202&d=1381475742) in this example extract it place .img in the platform-tools location and rename the .img to recovery.img
Flashing a ruu wont make you loose s-off, it makes you loose root. Two completely different things.
Your issue happened when you did the factory reset.
One possible solution is to:
Flash ruu
Flash a recovery
Flash rom
As long as your phone is recognized by your pc (which may not due to having done tue factory reset - can't remember if it does or doesn't), then you should be good to go.

Sounds reasonable, but not quite sure. I can't remember if you can flash a rom that way. I would suggest to do a proper search, read and see what you can find in that regard.

Well in my research (back in 2010) to flash a ruu with a previous version you need a gold card. After you get the ruu as a PDxxxxx.zip format (look for a desire hd one as others will brick your phone) and place it in the root of your sd card. Reboot your phone in recovery and press vol+ to flash, and wait for 10-20mins and your phone should be alive.
Some sd's dont work with gold cards (in my experience, a kingston 16gb didn't work but a samsung 8gb did for some reason)

I flashed Carbon rom yesterday and it worked well for a while.. But then once the phone rebooted after hanging and it went into a bootloop.. Unfortunately when i went into the bootloader with BACK+POWER i realized that both volume buttons are not working.. (prev only down vol wasnt working)
Now i cant enter recovery without volume buttons. I tried fastboot method for flashing a stable rom like cm7 but then realized that a custom ROM cant be flashed like that ...
What is a way out now ?? Do i need to flash the rom.zip from original RUU.exe through fastboot ??
if yes then do i need to flash the stock hboot first with large cache ??
and also how to get the correct RUU for your phone to prevent brick ??
Any help will be appreciated.

I'm not sure if flashing the stock rom would help but you can try, so first flash the stock hboot from alpharev but the easy way you have to use the volume controls the other way you have to through fastboot usb using pc so you would have to look through the guide, u can flash the 2.3.3 ruu through pc but I think it will automatically make hboot stock.

Put recovery.img (4ext) inside ur fastboot folder on pc then boot ur phone into fastboot, then plug it into pc and open cammand window and type
fastboot boot recovery.img
That will boot u into recovery and u can flash a rom or nandroid backup if u have one.
ok thanks.. will try flashing a RUU. Thats m only hope now i guess..
I was wondering why cant custom roms be flashed through fastboot method ?? The phone checks for some android info file which has CID info i think.. Why cant this information be incorporated into a custom rom ??

I have partitioned my sd card a long time back when i first rooted the phone... Nothing new now.. I just flashed carbon kitkat rom like usual method.. it worked for a day and then after reboot went into a bootloop... I guess there is some kernel issue with that ROM.

Voila .. that worked like a charm
Thanks a ton friend.
I guess now that my volume buttons aint working I will have to rely on this method to get into recovery whenever there is a bootloop.. and ofcourse I have to hope that the back button keeps working.. If back button goes then it will be an end.
