Firstly, you should not start flashing stuff to your phone unless you are 100% sure of what you are doing. The community is here to help, not to bail you out because you couldn't be bothered to read the instructions carefully.
Right rant over lets try and get this phone working again. As you have already flashed the rom, that's a start. You now need to go into the bootloader to flash the kernel and ram disk.
So step by step:
1) Boot into the bootloader (hold volume down and power)
2) Download the appropriate boot.img from the ARHD thread.
3) Place the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.
4) From the Command Line run fasboot flash boot boot.img
5) Then run fastboot erase cache
I may be wrong but I think the ARHD boot.img contains a script which automates steps 4 and 5 in which case you can just run the script and ignore these steps. Once you have done all this the phone will boot normally.

Have u installed the SDK platform tools in ur computer?if not type on google Android SDK and download it then you can do the following. place the image file (which is the kernel) in the path of SDK(where is installed. Mine for example is on C:\Program files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\(Place here UR kernel file) )
afterwards open an CMD and then type the following fastboot flash boot NAME_OF_IMAGE.IMG. everything that dr97.. said is right u should do those steps first. my guidance is on what to do and where to place the kernel. ill be online all time to answer you as sooner i can.
Good luck m8

i didnt forget you just checking if we can do it with other way.
found a way. go here download it. Make sure u have the HTC sync installed. Once u download the tool u will find 2 files one exe and one folder.inside the folder u will find 2nd folder with name Kernels. place there your kernel and go back one folder where you will find Windows Batch file with name UserKer Press it and follow the instructions
One more edit. Rename the Kernel as Boot! or else i think it will not work the script
GOOD LUCK

If you are now trying to get back to stock then you need to know a few things first. If you have a branded phone (locked to a network provider) then you will need to download their RUU for the phone, if you have an unbranded phone (can use any sim card in it) then you will need to flash the unbranded RUU for your phone. and unbranded RUU can be Identified if the firmware is like the following: x.xx.401.x, a branded phone goes something like: x.xx.771.x (this is for 3 UK, the 771 part will be different depending on your network).
Secondly what firmware were you on before flashing a custom ROM onto your phone? were you on 1.26, or 1.28, or 1.29? you will need to have the relevant stock recovery and RUU for your firmware version. If you can't remember then what is your hboot version? if its 0.43 then you are most probably on 1.26, 0.94 should be for 1.28, and 0.95 I believe is for the 1.29 variant.
you can unlock your bootloader again using the same unlock.bin file from the HTCDEV site to flash the right stock recovery onto your phone, then relock the bootloader again and then run the RUU. This should bring you back to almost factory defaults.
you should be able to find the right RUU from THIS thread, The right recovery from HERE and disaster recovery tutorial from HERE
And next time PLEASE READ UP ON HOW TO DO THIS STUFF, BEFORE ACTUALLY DOING IT.

and yes i have the unlock.bin that was sent to me by htc can u please be so kind and tell me step by step how:1-flash my unlock.bin
2- then flash the stock recovery for my device thanks alot alot in advance really appreciate every one that is trying to help thank u guys

you can unlock your bootloader again with the same unlock.bin file you got off the HTCDEV site and using the following command in command prompt: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin ... the signature error could possibly point to having the wrong stock recovery. did you flash the 1.29.401.11 stock recovery?
Edit: could you post the link to where you got that RUU from? I might possibly be able to extract the recovery.img file from it, as I think the 1.29.401.11 recovery might be wrong for you, you might need the 1.29.415.11 recovery to be flashed...

You shouldn't relocked it on the first place, because from what i read at the OP, you have your phone unlocked and rooted..if you follow my guide, my friend, you will have a fully working phone again..do you even read it..

[Q] Error 191 when using RUU - Rom not supported

G'day Guys,
I am trying to root my desire HD. currently 2.3.5
I initially followed the HTCDEV method
For my phone which downloaded the RUU program. PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
this is for Desire HD Vodaphone australia.
I ran the RUU successfully once. It supposedly upgraded the image from 2.12.178.2 to 3.13.0.0
apon rebooting into the fastboot screen as per the HTCDEV instructions when attempting to fastboot I recieved errors saying
"no image or wrong image" or something to that effect.
at this point I went back to the drawing board and tried the HOW TO ROOT WITHOUT HACK KIT thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500) method and script for unlocking the bootloader. which downloaded the same RUU program
apon running it this time it still wished to updrade from 2.12.178.2 to 3.13.0.0 and i recieved the error
ERROR [191]: Rom is not supported
I have searched several threads with this error however none of them seemed to have a solution ie.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264987
I cannot locate and temporary ROM zips as per this thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21231962
EDIT Just found and am re-naming the rom zip as PD98IMG.zip then copying it to sd card root folder.
will update thread with result. apologies again
Appologies for the first thread question and its length.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Ben

So I renamed the rom.zip file copied it to the root folder of the SD card.
booted into fast boot. updated
it said "parsing bootloader complete"
however the phone still appears to be 3.12.178.2 ...
the next step
step 8
htcdev[dotcom]/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-3
"fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
wont run as it sits there <waiting for device>
if I run the RUU again it still says need to update to 3.13 and that its error 191 invalid rom.
help guys

The top part, the one where you say RUU, that's not a RUU, that just simply updates the HBOOT.
You need to follow this guide.

thanks, yeah i was following that guide.
part of that guide is the "unlock bootloader" portion. I believed thats what the RUU was doing... as those were the steps i was doing.
I was trying to unlock to bootloader. which the guide states you need to do IOT continue on to the ROM steps in the guide you linked.
has anyone had success unlocking the bootloader or any ideas for my issue
thanks for the response. makes sure im on the right path,

apologies for the n00bage.
now I have a gold card. just trying to work out the next step to find a RUU that will support hboot update on htcdev
can anyone point me to an appropriate RUU? Glevitan perhaps?
thanks all for the help so far its been great

FYI I completed step 1 from this site http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
1.root ur phone :for root u mus unlock boot loader with htcdev/bootloader
hboot 2.00.0029 support token key for unlock bl 2.00.0027 stok not support
u must update hboot to 2.00.0029:
download this rom copy to your c:\ drive so download this dhd update hboot by behtash.rar
and run hboot update by behtash.bat in normal mode ,waiting until flash hboot complete
ok u can now unlock bl with htcdev.com\bootloader
however it would not unlock on htcdev it just sat there saying [waiting for device]

I was being a numpty and didnt have sdk installed. I have to crash tonight but will install it tomorrow. then try htcdev again,
if it dosent work i will do as suggested. if its something that simple I will feel a bit stupid. will keep you guys updated.
thanks again all for your help

Ok I have unlocked bootloader. I was being a bit of a numpty and not doing the "get identifier token" command whilst the phone was actually on fastboot... the htcdev instructions confused me.
I will keep this post open as I know i will have more problems as I go.
Thanks all for your help so far
do i have to
3. Download rooted stock rom: http://www.multiupload.nl/20T9R21IGY
(link to rom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...t=rooted+stock )
copy the ROM zip file to your SD card.
as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
or can I go straight to download a newer rom. a 4.2 or something and continue on the process

Ok, where I am at.
I have flashed the stock rooted rom as per the guide.
it works fine and has root access.
I didnt go through the process for S-OFF from step 6 onwards as I got a little lost what i needed to do as I had already done some of the goldcard steps. either way.
I am currently unlocked and rooted. with 2.3.5 stock rooted rom.
I tried to install a cryogenmod rom and jellytime rom.
as per this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866122
I installed them from the cwm recovery then tried to "flashboot flash boot boot.img" with their respective boot.img.
both roms didnt progress past the htc boot screen they just black screened.
can anyone hint why these roms wouldnt load? is it an s-on issue? or am i lost with the boot.img or missing another step?
i have reloaded the stock rooted image using cwm and flashboot flash boot boot.img
Thanks all
Ben

Ah appologies I am blind today.
No error msgs. Boot.IMG is coppied over as it is when I do it with the rooted stock Rom.
Just when rebooting afterwards. The phone does its .HTC flash screen for like 30 secs then it goes to a black screen (phone on) indefinitely.
The process I am using is
1 zip Rom on sdcard.
2 cwm delete user data
3 cwm install zip image from sdcard which works
4 reboot
5 fastboot USB
6 from pc: fastboot flash boot boot.IMG (extracted from Rom zip)
Am I doing anything incorrectly or missing a step.
Rooted, unlocked bootloader s-on
Thanks all

Is the phone in fastboot? What ROM? What recovery version?

The phone was in fastboot USB
The working Rom is the one listed shoved from the full root sticky..3.12.405.1 rooted by nitr00
The 2 Roms that failed were jellytime and cryogen. Either the current or most recent stable apparently
Recovery is cwm. It's a slightly older version I think though. It was the only one I could find at the time.
Maybe 2. Something. I'll reboot now and check. Could that be an issue?

Bootloader unlocked
Hboot 2.00.0029
Radio 26.14.04.28m
Cwm recovery v 2.5.1.2

Yay just tried with the latest version of CWM and it works... FFS why wouldnt I have used the current version.
anyway I am playing with 4.2.2 jelly time now.
Thanks so much every contributor. your replies helped me keep going.

Error : No Connection.?

Hey guys! So my cousin bought this used Desire HD. Its running 2.2 Froyo.
So here is the list of the problems:
1. When downloading from Google Play it does not download the app but it can browse. It gives a "Error : No Connection" in the status bar.
2. It should update to 2.3.3 but it says im already updated.
3. Tried factory resetting 2 times. Same thing.
4. Also one weird thing. I live here in Pakistan, so YouTube is blocked here. But the phone does browse YouTube? (it cant open the video though). Some kind of ROM problem i guess so.
What should i do to resurrect this problem? Thank you! Its the International version. "HTC Desire HD A9191".
Also the Serial number is SH11JRX08759

You could try unlocking the bootloader, root, and install a 4.2.2 custom rom. This will void the warranty but it may be the only way to fix the problem.

Update : so i went into the bootloader. And its pretty strange. Its S-OFF but not rooted :/ that is a really strange issue. Also i have noted the signals to be a bit more weaker.. Can somebody guide me from here?
Here r the pics btw

Power off the phone. When it is off, hold down the volume down button and press the power button. This should get you into the HBoot screen. At the top of the screen, it will either say "UNLOCKED" or "LOCKED". If it is unlocked that's great. If it's not unlocked, look at the HBoot line to make sure the HBoot version on your phone can be unlocked. If it can, just follow the guide posted in this forum to install a 4ext custom recovery to flash custom roms.

There are lots of problems in this phone. Like every minute i find a new bug. Can someone please guide me in flashing the stock rom? Or if possible. ROOT it and put some sense 4.1 ROM? That should be 100% stable though. Since this phone is for my little cousin. Thanks. Will appreciate the helping hand

root it with z4root, and use the one click eng s-off.I also had a phone brought in the other day, same thing.You must root it with z4root.

download that, extract the folder on your desktop or wherever possible, make sure you have ADB drivers installed, run desire hd easy s-off.exe,
and click s-off.It will flash the HBOOT and you're good to go.Make sure you disable fastboot afterwards.(settings>power)
Flash the latest radio found somewhere around here, it will help for GPS connection in newer ROMs.

You need the ENG S-OFF in order to use any actual commands/flash anything.Also rooting won't fix the play store problem, you must change ROM.If I may recommend, SVHD for a sense rom, or CM10.1 for that clean look.

Ok I am going to Temporary Root my DHD by Z4Root
Keep in touch kind sir I will update u the details

Unlock your bootloader first via htc dev. just follow the intructions in htcdev
Note: You need to update your bootloader first
- if the ruu in htcdev runs and update your bootloader, then your good to go
- if not or error appears, then create a goldcard (Instruction can be found somewhere here)
copy the updated hboot zip file to the root of your card and flash the zip file in recovery
then go back to unlocking your bootloader via htcdev
once unlock use the easyaceroottool to root your phone
-this will automatically flash the clockword recovery then you can flash any custom rom that you want.:fingers-crossed:

he doesn't need to update the hboot, he can easily flash the engineering one and do it a way lot easier.

I am doing what Steam. has said. but since I am running Windows 8, I am encountering some .NET Framework issue unfortunately. trying to resolve them first :/

OK I finally got the .NET Framework working. Gonna try out the process (Gonna read the ENG S-OFF) Obviously

what the?
It says "Bootloader Corrupt. DO NOT REBOOT. Seek help from XDA" :s :s

In the old thread that was here many people rebooted straight away with no problems, they had S-OFF.

just make sure you have a custom ROM ready to be flashed, do not boot the stock again once you reboot to bootloader.Flash 4EXT recovery, you can find the recovery .img here
just DL a ROM of your choice and flash it afterwards.

stock platform.xml

i modified my platform.xml to enable w/r access for the sdcard a few months back.
there was a copy of the original, er, 'somewhere' but i cant find it now.
i have removed the line added i in before but the 4.4.4 ota update is failing because of platform.xml.
anyone have a stock unmodified platform.xml they could upload here or pm?
my M8 is a dual sim version if that makes any difference.
thanks.

Hi,
not exactly. but i am on 4.4.4
i was toying with the idea of winding back to stock using nandroid, rooting and copying out platform.xml, then having another go at OTA...
but, i thought i might as well give MaximusHD 4.4.4 for dual sim a go as i was going to wipe anyway.
i flashed TWRP latest 2.8.1 and updated firmware (link is on Maximus page) and then ROM.
so thats where i am now and happy with the rom.
100% stable, no issues noticed at all and aroma removed some bloat for me as i installed.
no need to go back now.
i will wait for lollipop from HTC and all those custom roms for M8 dual sim to try out (er, joke)

Thanks. As I am rooted, with TWRP, but S-ON, I think I can't flash the new firmware. Or am I wrong on that?
I have nandroid backup from my original stock, so could go back to that and re-lock and then do the OTA, but it's a long slow way of getting to 4.4.4!
An alternative would be Cyanogenmod - but although CM11 supports multi-sim phones I can find nothing clear about whether the official builds support the M8 dual-sim.
Finding the M8 ROM situation frustrating after messing around endlessly with custom ROMs on Acer dual sim phone . . . .

you can but you have to re-lock the boot loader which will wipe your phone.
i used these instructions (I am S-OFF already) and firmware from link on Maximus site:
-------------------------------------------------------
How to flash firmware
### If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol DOWN + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
### Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot reboot-bootloader
-------------------------------------------------------
what i am sure of is that without the new firmware you will not have wifi
i thought i flashed the firmware first but didnt do it twice and it didnt stick. after the rom was installed i had no wifi but guessed that was the problem and re flashed the firmware. then it was ok.
as for cyanogenmod, unless it states it is for M8 Dual SIM then i wouldnt bother unless youve got time to experiment and hope for updates.
i know there are many arguments as to why you dont really need S-OFF for most normal operations but it a real fail-safe when things get messed up (my 2c)
just find the $25 for sunshine, its worth it.

Thanks for response. In the meantime I have gone S-OFF with Sunshine, but I have not yet flashed the new firmware or the ROM.
For firmware flashing, I was going to use the process described here on XDA. Seems very simple . . .

But in the end I had to use the method you suggest, as once the ROM was installed I had no firmware and was therefore stuck in bootloader. With some fiddling I managed to sort it all out, and everything is now running.
Thanks for your help

[Q] HTC wildfire s (GSM) stuck on htc screen

HI
I have a problem with my htc and i was wondering if i could get some help please.

but now whenever i turn on my phone it would stay on the white htc screen and even when i try recovery NOTHING
my HTC WFS is S-ON (GSM) PG7610
PS: I tried every tip i could find on XDA DEVELOPERS like
*GOLD CARD
*flash rom with RUU while phone is on FASTBOOT mode
*and since my phone is S-on i cant wipe the system via FASTBOOT
*i tried DIAG files but that only works for (CDMA) phones
*cant use ADB since phone wont boot
ANY THOUGHTS?
THANK YOU.

Hey pal first off, this is the wrong forum. This is the old wildfire forums not the wildfire s. But I shall help you out none the less
Since your phone is hboot unlocked but not s-off you need to flash your custom roms boot.img via fastboot just after you flash the rom via recovery. When you download the rom it comes in a zip file, unzip a copy of it and place the boot.img in your fastboot folder, then copy the zip to your sd card and then flash via recovery. Once it's flashed boot into hboot by using advanced reboot options I think its called. Then flash the boot.img using the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Where boot.img is the name of the .img you took from the zip file (just in case you have renamed it and don't know why the command is not working)
Then do fastboot reboot and the phone should boot up okay. You need to flash the boot.img for every rom change that you do. Also should you decide you want to run a RUU you must relock you hboot or it won't run.

firste off i would like to thank you for taking the time to responde to my question and im sorry about posting in the wrong forum.
i watched the XDA DEV noob video on youtube about being a noob so before i posted my question i looked through each and every post i could find about my phone s problem but NO LUCK so i decided to ask the experts
*i did relock my bootloader before i ran the Ruu and it didnt work it said main version too old and since my costume rom is based on andoird 2.3.7 and my htc can only go as far as 2.3.5 and ruu wont let you downgrade so i figured it might not work.
*now you suggested that i flash the costume rom via recovery and thats the problem i cant even get in to my recovery it just gets stuck on the white htc screen and i tried flashing the recovery Again (twrp) and nothing. even other recoveries wouldnt work.
*i flashed about 4 roms and they all worked just fine even this last one and i didnt flash the boot.img and i was able to reboot normally
THANK YOU.

Okay so, let's recap.
You are on a custom android rom.
You have a custom recovery installed.
Your cannot flash the RUU as your run version is higher than the RUU.
Lastly you cannot boot into your custom Rom, or your recovery?
Do you want to return to stick it get a custom Rom flashed?

Q: if i flash a system via fastboot successfully will it automaticly erase the old one because i tried to erase it but it said remot controle not allowed (S-on)

ok, ive requested this thread be moved to its correct forum.
before proceeding can you tell me when your htc wildfire marvel was made? after 2012?
can you flash clockworkmod recovery and then try flashing a custom htc sense rom
Then reboot back into cwm recovery (by selecting advanced/ reboot-recovery in the menus) and plug the phone into your computer via usb cable. open up your command prompt and move to your adb folder. type the following commands ( a # denotes instructions and should not be typed into the command window)
Code:
adb devices
#this should show your device up, maybe saying its in recovery mode
adb shell
# the command prompt should change to a # symbol
Now make sure you have a sdcard in the phone and then run the following command
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
This should leave you with a file called misc.img on your sdcard. Lastly
Code:
exit
exit
exit
your command window should have closed. now upload this file to a online storage system like dropbox and send me a pm with a link to it. I will edit it and you can flash it back, this will relock your hboot and downgrade your software version so that RUU's will work. then we will run a RUU, returning your phone to stock and functional state

Hmm.... Okay reflash twrp and see if it boots up. Without a recovery your options are limited. You need to be careful as your device uses a different kernel from older versions of the wildfire s. If you flash a older RUU version it will kill your phone.
Do you have any phone unlock shops near you?

Make sure when you go to the unlock shop you make sure they use an XTC clip http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/Unlocking/xtc_clip.htm
If they don't have it then do not pay for an unlock. You need s-off not SIM unlocked. Make sure to ask for it. Once your S-off you can run any RUU and fix the phone but check in here first so I can ensure that its compatible with your 2012 edition of the phone ( as I said flashing one that is too old will kill the phone!)
