help needed ( entering bootloader ) - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello all ,
i have a desire hd , with a custom rom installed few days ago ( CM 7.2 ) , and it was all right ...
i decided to give the ics a try , and i chose IceColdSandwich-8.8.AOKP-signed ,
i entered the bootloader , then the recovery as usual , did full wipe , and then chose the rom zip .... then rebooted .... the phone did reboot , but stuck on a black screen ( backlighted ) ....
i pulled the battery out , then tried to enter the recovery but i failed , and the phone stuck on the htc white screen ...
as a try , i used the AAHK to install the included recovery , it succeeded , but i failed again to enter the recovery , and stuck on the same white screen .... then i installed the stock froyo rom via AAHK , during the install process , a white small triangle appeared beside the progress bar , and when it finished installing it rebooted and had the attached black screen with 4 triangles on the corners , when connecting phone to the usb port , it gives a white screen ( attached below )

any help will be appreciated , i am now confused :crying:

so for now i cant access the recovery ( idonno why ) and usb debugging is not enabled .... please help

Try booting your phone to the bootloader and running an RUU.
Use AAHK again after the RUU completes.

thx for your reply friend , but will you be more detailed , considering the fact that i cant access recovery menu , i have only the tow screens displayed in the images attached , the black screen and the white one ..... so , how can i enter the bootloader to run the RUU ?

Pull out the battery. Insert it again.
Boot the phone by pressing and holding the Vol down and Power button, it should boot into the bootloader screen and should say "Fastboot" above a menu of options.
Connect the phone to pc now, it should say Fastboot USB now.
Download an RUU appropriate to your region and carrier. Run the setup from your PC with the phone still connected.

Okay. You have adb and fastboot.exe? Try connecting your phone to the PC and after getting it to that white screen, run the command "fastboot devices" from cmd. If your device does get displayed in the list. You can still run an RUU.
However, even if your device does not get displayed on the fastboot devices list, I'd still suggest to connect the phone and run an RUU to see if it recognizes the device.
It's a bad situation to be in with a spoilt volume rocker.. :-\

Here. I've attached the files needed to run Fastboot. Extract the files to a folder and execute the file name "StartHere.bat" to open a command prompt. You can then use Fastboot commands as mentioned before.
And again, you can find RUUs here.. use a WWE(World Wide Edition) one if you're not sure.
Hope this solves your problem

Do you have a PD98IMG file in your sdcard? because that is what the images are showing. AAHK does not flash froyo RUU's so if you flash a Froyo RUU then you did it on your own.
What version of the Hack Kit are you running?

please help

i installed the PD98IMG separately and put it in the PD98IMG folder in AAHK tool ..... and installed it maunally on purpose by choosing one of the options in AAHK after failing to enter bootloader

Where did you get the PD98IMG from? the last Hack Kit is 11092012 and not that one. If you flashed a froyo RUU then you need to fix the bootloader first....

You have to relock the bootloader and then reflash the Ruu in the PD98IMG.zip way.
To relock, just boot to hboot and choose fastboot.
Plug the phone and You should see fastboot USB in red.
Open a CMD as admin or terminal as root in the PC
Type: fastboot oem lock
Then, just re try booting in hboot with the Ruu in the root of the sdcard....

ok...you don't have the adb drivers. Unplug the phone and download the Hack Kit, unzip it and just run the hack-ace.cmd as admin. That will install the adb drivers and so other commands, then close it. Plug the phone back and again from fastboot usb in red try the command

There's no need to donate. Thanks I appreciate it.
Now that u are relocked, I need the CID number to find a working RUU.
To get that, boot in fastboot, plug the phone (fastboot usb in red)
Open a cmd as admin and type: fastboot getvar all. Find the INFOcidnum...and paste it here.

Okay, the issue is that there's no direct ruu for your CID number. But u can try the following.
Plug the phone in fastboot, then run the Hack Kit as admin and choose the fastboot method...see what happens. If not you will have to create a goldcard with the sdcard CID.

This is how to create a goldcard: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
Then just place the file I will send u (rename it PD98IMG.zip) in the root of the sdcard and boot in hboot.
OR
you can unlock the bootloader again and then try flashing a custom rom...there's a way...gotta find the thread.

[Stuck] in CWM Recovery while rooting

Hi everyone, yes i have a DHD, and i tried to root it with AAHK tool. I know that many have success, but i failed.
Now i got stuck in CWM Recovery and can't get out. Although i tried all the options in the list, but it always returns the CWM screen.
I also tried to install a Rom cook, it said that Success, but then i return again in the CWM screen.
Here it's some pic

This is when i try to run AAHK tool once more.
P/S: i've read the instruction of AAHK tool before action, my phone was pure, S-On, and run Android ver 2.3.5.
P/S 2: i think in the process, my usb cable wasn't properly connected (not my fault, DHD is a old device), cos i heard the sound of something plug in and out my pc many many times

Is your volume rocker flaw? That seems to be a hardware issue and not software. Maybe it got stuck and that is why it boots to recovery..

I don't rly know much of rooting a phone, but when i use AAHK tool, it asked me if i want to load some "RUU" file and install it, i said Yes.
If that is not what u're talking, please give some construction.

Are you able to boot in hboot? You don't need recovery to flash a RUU..paste the information displayed in your hboot here...
Ok, first download the zip I've attached to this post. Extract the contents, run 'Start here.bat'. Now, on your phone, go back to the hboot screen, connect your phone to your computer, and press 'power'. Verify that the phone shows 'FASTBOOT USB' in red. Now go to the cmd window that opened with 'Start here.bat', and type (or copy-paste) from here -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-ace.img
When it finishes and displays a 'success' message, exit cmd, disconnect your phone, use 'volume down' to highlight 'recovery' and press power to select it. Your phone will boot into this new recovery which is called TWRP. TWRP and 4ext are the best recoveries for this device. CWM is outdated, especially the version you're using. Now using this recovery, wipe your device properly by running wiping 'system' and 'factory reset/data' in the wipe menu, and then flash whatever ROM you want. It should work fine.
Note: If it fails, then you've done something and you don't have an S-OFF bootloader anymore. As long as your bootloader has the same top line as in the picture you posted, you're good. If you have run an RUU either on your own or using AAHK, and you have an S-ON bootloader now, connect your phone back in hboot mode, enable 'FASTBOOT USB' and run AAHK again. You'll end up with an S-OFF bootloader, and you can follow the above step.
Also, the sound of your phone disconnecting and connecting repeatedly to your computer was not a problem with the USB cable. It happens everytime AAHK reboots the phone, because the phone disconnects while turning off and connects back when turning on. AAHK failed the second time you ran it because it you already got a fully unlocked S-OFF bootloader in the first try. It only works if the bootloader is locked.

you can not use flash commands in fasboot as you don't have ENG S-OFF (do not flash the tradicional but the modified one in the Hack Kit)
Or flash the zip file in fastboot this way:
Boot in fastboot usb (check that in the phone is display that)
Put this zip file somewhere you can find it: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2d8xxQzn5owMkpCQlBibkU2amM/edit?usp=sharing.
Open a cmd as admin in the PC
Go to where the recovery zip folder is located (in cmd)
And then type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip cwm-5.0.2.7-ace.zip (when you get the OKAY in the cmd session you are done)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
When finished, you should have CWM recovery installed

Thank you, all steps has worked, but it seems that nothing has changed. The phone reboot and still stuck at the famous CWM screen.
Btw, i now can't use AAHK tool anymore, it always say that Phone not plugged in, or Driver not installed, or USB debugging not enabled.

I'm still waiting for you guys :hopefully:
Yeah. If you still have S-OFF, connect your phone in fast boot and run AAHK. Choose the option to flash ENG hboot and flash the 0.85.2425 version. Once it's done, you'll see 'ACE PVT ENG S-OFF' at the top. Now you can do again what I said in the previous post.

Because you are trying to open he Hack Kit normally, but your phone does not boot so adb can't be used. Boot in fastboot usb and then open a cmd as admin and navigate to where the hack kit is located, then type:
Code:
hack-ace.cmd fastboot
That should bring the menu to flash ENG S-OFF...

try to delete all the drivers and let the computer install them again, maybe the pc will see the phone again...
or (better) try to flash this recovery using this method from Captain_Throwback's post here
(this way you don't need a pc connection )
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...-MULTIROM-TWRP-Recovery-(UNOFFICIAL)-v2-8-0-6
Rename the file to exactly "0P6BIMG.zip" (no quotes)
Place on root of (external) SD card
Boot into HBOOT to flash (bootloader should detect zip automatically and prompt you to flash)
hope this helps
p.s. i'm assuming your phone is S-OFF

So what did you try to do? The above doesn't tell us anything you tried or didn't try (aside from removing the SD card).
Don't want to waste the time and effort, to advise you to do things you may have already tried.
Hello,
Thanks for the reply!
I tried to connect it to my mac via usb to flash a rom or twrp etc but my computer doesn't show the phone.
I tried selecting the recovery mode from the menus and nothing happens.
It just restarts and goes back to the same mode.
So honestly i havnt tried much as i do not know where to begin.. Apart from going into all of the menus on the screen and that's it.
I think i the phone is missing the recovery and the rom? Not sure.... Help!

The mac will only be able to connect via fastboot, in the current condition. Do you have fastboot/adb setup on your mac? I'm not a mac user, so I won't be able to advise much on that.

Since the phone will only boot to bootloader, you are correct in that it appears the ROM is damaged or corrupt. Since I don't think the Rogers version has RUU to recover, you are right in the approach of flashing TWRP and ROM to the phone.
However, you will also need to unlock the bootloader, in order to flash TWRP. And you will need working fastboot connection to mac/PC in order to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP. So you really need to troubleshoot the connection issue, first.
You might also read through the following thread for more recovery options or info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694297

On post #1 OP wrote (few other lines) which is important to be highlighted. Without OS info no way to help.
Or as usual need fastboot getvar all result. If it is Lollipop RUU 4.20.631.3 is available for free.
Also I remember Marshmallow RUU is available too on AFH but can't confirm it now as I maybe wrong ..need to search for it
Edit : here is Marshmallow RUU - http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=14070
Leave it to you to guide OP.
Maybe need to flash 6.13.631.7 firmware first before RUU
Thanks!
I just tried the add fast boot connection went through all the steps ok, HOWEVER when i type in ./adb devices it does not show the phone. So far all posts and videos i have found explain about trouble shooting when the phone OS is still running but none for my situation.
There is a red highlights text which says "FASTBOOT"
and it turns to "FASTBOOT USB" when i plug in with my MAC
Also i have tried 2 different USB cables same result, tried clicking on the "REBOOT FASTBOOT" as well same result.
Anything else i can do to have a working connection ?

Have you installed the HTC drivers to your computer?
If not, install HTC Sync Manager (you can get the MAC version here). During the installation of Sync Manager the drivers will be installed. After they are, Uninstall Sync Manager (it doesn't play nice with ADB/fastboot) and the drivers will remain

When on fastboot, correct command is fastboot devices or ./fastboot devices
Based on your bootloader screenshot, you can try the above linked RUU to fix your phone

This is working normally, and as intended.
adb and fastboot are related, but different conditions, usage and requirements.
adb: Only works in OS, or alternately TWRP. Needs debugging enabled in phone settings. Will not work in fastboot mode.
fastboot: Only works in fastboot mode. Does not require debugging enabled in phone settings.
Stuck in fastboot mode, you should get a response (phone's ID) to: fastboot devices
Otherwise, there may be a driver or USB connectivity issue.
However, since ckpv5 linked an RUU for you to use, the mac won't help you. RUU is probably the easiest way to get the phone back up and running. But you'll need access to a PC for the RUU to work. RUU won't work properly with mac, even emulating a PC.

Nice. :good: Obviously, I missed that detail. Should have figures, since most M8 versions without "official" released RUUs seem to get them leaked as zip format.

Any way to enter EDL mode without disassembling the phone?

Vol up/down + USB cable doesn't work, and I read one post that says the deep flash cable doesn't work either. Bootloader is locked.
I have the full body ceramic version, so there aren't any disassembly directions available so I could take it apart and ground the EDL points...
Current ROM is just boot looping, wiping data doesn't help, and only ROM I seem to be able to flash is the same one (latest global beta).... Just want to downgrade back to global stable.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Can't you boot to fastboot? What's the error when you attempt to flash anything else? Can you access TWRP?
I have done it a few times, there is some key combination I used but can't remember what it was

Edit: okay... yes, I got it into fastboot mode now. Don't know what I struggled with that key combo so much.
What can I actually do from here to reflash, since bootloader is locked?

Just flash MIUI from there then, it should work provided that you unlocked the bootloader.

This would be easy if bootloader wasn't locked, I know.
Should be able to use MiFlash tool? And download a fastboot flash rom from xiaomi website

Yes. When you start it from recovery, it says it needs ADB, and reboots the phone to OS (which bootloops - no way to activate ADB in OS).
Edit: Same with starting XiaomiTool when in FastBoot - it needs ADB enabled from the OS....
Hello, hello! Here's the link how to disassemble mix2:
1obzor.com/news/razborka-xiaomi-mi-mix-2.html
after opening here is the instruction on how to enter EDL mode:
en.miui.com/thread-1351514-1-1.html
links without the htts: // prefix
since I'm a new member
This was happened to my xiaomi Max.
i tried using fastboot to boot into EDL, it didnt work.
using fastboot-edl -> reboot.bat, it show success message but actually my phone only restarted and stuck in "Mi" Logo.
what i did to boot into EDL are :
- While phone still connected to pc and phone in fastboot mode i try to hold the power button
- After the screen blinked (it restarted), i pressed both vol + and vol - and after i hear a plug in sound in my PC Windows i release the power button
- Then the screen will stay Blank (With background light) but after i refresh MiFlash application, it will detected as COM20 or something.
- Then i do flashing and it works!
Hope it will help to solve your problem
To enter EDL on mix 2 without disassembling. Boot the phone into bootloader then you type "fastboot oem edl" on your computer then you can flash the phone normally with mi flash tool. Hope this suggestion can help!
the miui version cant be installed on this device

I am an idiot i have self inflicted this issue. I flashed from 8.11.8 to 10.0.0.1 i mistake clicked flash and lock.bat now the device is locked and will not boot. Got deep flash cable but not able to switch off the device to get into 9008 mode. please someone direct me. I am getting frustrated and loosing hope. Cannot boot into edl as bootloader locked. cannot recovery as I have no twrp. cannot unlock as device is not bound to account. cannot debug mode as device will not boot to OS. I have truly made my life complicated not purposely. cannot shutdown the device to get into Deep flash mode
Thank you people, apologies for wasting your time.
Same situation.. still trying to find a way to get out of this. But i can help you somehow as i figured out how u can switch off the phone.
1. Copy and rename any file to twrp.img and save it in a folder
2. Open cmd and change directory to where u saved the twrp.img file
3.Just boot into fastboot and type this command
fastboot boot twrp.img
It will try to push this to your phone ane eventually fail. You will get a message on your phone saying "system destroyed and press power button to switch off"
Thats how i switch it off each time lol

Same here but intentionally lock it for resale purposes. Did not know it would brick. But the trick to switch it off still work.
Btw, Me too i don't want to open the back cover but it seems the only solution. I have already ordered my prying tools.

thats who helped me and it was quick and painless. you do have to take the back cover off and the silver plate. touch the 2 bottom pins, first 2 on bottom row and plug in usb cable. phone has to be off. just unplug the battery and back in. phone is back but now have to wait 360 hours to unlock bootloader. oh well
