[Q] Help!! Froze on HTC Logo!

Hy guys
I have an HTC T mobile G2 and a few days back it started to froze when i used certain aplications. I had to remove the battery and it all came back to normal till one time when it got stuck on the HTC logo and wont go any further then that. I have tried to run PC10IMG from Hboot on it but its says that Main Version Is older! I have also tried to delete the hboot.n00 file from PC10IMG boot and reziped it but it didnt worked. I have tried to go into recovery and did a full date wipe on it but with no result. In other words I have tried all the options to recover it using my sd card and it didnt work.
I have Vision PVT S-ON

I have also tried to use android sdk to downgrade but no mather what I do I cant get the androidsdk to find my phone. I installed the drivers using HTC sync and PDAnet and all other methods I could find online but with no luck. I ve also used vista and windows 7 but since there no way i can access and enable usb debugging thats not an option for me.
Please if you have any ideas on how to get it to work I would appreciate it.

You could try either a factory reset, or flash a newer PC10IMG
The PC10IMG's are signed, and seeing as you are S-ON, your phone will run a signature check, so you cannot modify the the zip at all, or it will fail.
-Nipqer

I tried to do a factory reset from recovery menu with no luck...its says :
E: can't mount /data/recovery log after it wiped data and cache
I tried the latest PC10IMG i could find including the one you refered too but it still says: Main Version is Oder!
I hope i dont have to wait till a newer version comes out

You might have the bad emmc chip then, there's more info here
-Nipqer

Ok so i looked thru the posts but i cant check to see if I have the good or the bad emmc chip. Now somehow I ve got android sdk to work in fastboot only so if i use comand i get
c:androidsdk/tools/fastboot devices
SH0C4R201107 fastboot
so that means it can see my phone. Is there anyway I can use this and fix it?
I cant get adb devices to work tho......

do you have eng or ship hboot? cause fastboot only really works with eng hboot.
-Nipqer

I think I have ship boot....I mean i never rooted the phone or anything
so nothing I can do then?

oh yeah, should've realised that...
From what I can work out there's nothing you can do, is it still under warranty?
-Nipqer

Nope... I have tried to flash recovery.img but i get
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4652 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.825s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.579s
I guess there is nothing else i could do except get a new phone...thanks for your help

Help HTC Desire HD Vodafone (stuck): flashing custom rom after unlocking bootloader

Hi,
I need your kind advice in fixing my issue. I have DHD Vodafone 3.13.161.3 GB 2.3.5.
I unlocked the phone using HTC official method, phone got restored to factory default and I tried to flash a custom rom without knowing that I need to change the CID.
The phone starts but get stuck on HTC logo, I have EXT4 recovery installed already.
Tried wiping and factory reset but it seems that its of no use. I can boot to hboot, it says unlocked (highlighted) and s-on.
I did try to make a goldcard, put the sdcard in another phone and used the goldcard helper app then went to the site and submitted the CID and downloaded the image and followed the steps.
(got mmc0 and mmc1, I took mmc1 by manually writting it)
I copied another official rom PD98IMG.ZIP downloaded from the net for WWE and ARA versions copied them to SDcard and got into hboot but after loading it says wrong image and goes back to hboot.
I deseparate to get it fixed, would you plz provide some guidance on how to fix it since I was not able to get Vodafone RUU or any other mechanism to fix!
Appreciate your assistance and efforts..

If you unlocked from HTCdev you have to flash kernel in fast boot rename boot.IMG to pd98img.zip and accept update. Then remove or rename to pd98img.zip.bak so it doesn't keep updating. It's because of s-on you should be able to downgrade hboot and s-off.

Thanks for your response Sammael,
Just some background info about my case:
I have DHD from Vodafone UK which was on the latest rom from Vodafone 2.3.5, I did bootloader unlock using HTCDev then flashed Ext4 recovery.
I tried flashing a custom rooted rom based on WWE version using the recovery mode (install zip from sdcard) after which I got the phone stuck on HTC logo screen everytime I try to power it on.
I tried using WWE RUUs with fastboot usb but got err155, I downloaded Vodafone PD98IMG.zip from that was uploaded by a guy in another forum but copying it to the sdcard and loading it using hboot gave me wrong image/rom message. I tried running WWE RUU then copying the PD98IMG.zip to the temp folder and renaming it to rom.zip after deleting the original rom.zip but again I got err155.
I need at least to get back on Vodafone stock rom and fix the problem, I am not sure if I need to relock the bootloader and if I must flash back the stock recovery.
Can anyone help with this as I have been trying different options for the last 4 days and all the tools that were mentioned need to have a functional phone to do usb debugging and charge only mode!

First will cover the obvious you should have unlocked via HTC dev. The hack kit is the way to go about things
Now for the fix.
Download a custom rom on PC, have androidsdk setup
Boot into recovery and reinstall your custom from.(remember to full wipe).
Once complete plug phone into PC and run adb reboot bootloader.
Once in boot loader select fast boot if its not already selected.(should read fast boot USB)
Now in the custom rom you download open it and take out the boot.img and put it wherever you have adb/fast boot folders
Then type the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot reboot
You will have to do this every time you flash a new rom, since you HTC dev unlocked. I would search into relocking boot loader and using the hack kit

Hi marsdta,
I sort of worried about doing what you suggested as my device still show the CID as VODAP001. Its on Ship S-On and the problem I got into was by flashing a custom rom through CWM.

I had some progress, relocked the bootloader and copied the PD98IMG.ZIP to sdcard. The phone starts loading the PD98IMG and then running the check, it fails on some point which I think might be the PD98IMG I got is older than the software raido/hboot installed on my phone. Below are the details.
Checking PD98IMG.zip
Main version older!
update failed
Press <Power> to reboot
The PD98IMG.zip has an android-info.txt that contains the following:

I think I may need the latest PD98IMG.zip to reflash the phone back to Vodafone stock software, plz correct me if I am wrong?
The PD98IMG.zip which was provided a vodafone uk phone owner seems to check the version of my phone's current state hboot/radio.
Is there any place where I can get the latest PD98IMG.zip even if I have to pay for it?

I haven't been able to find the newest ruu for your branded device. Best I can say is keep looking. But if you can't find it your going to have to flash a from how I suggested to get a working phone.
Or maybe wait and see if anyone has other ideas to try

Did you try getting S-OFF via the Advanced Ace Hack Kit? I got a Vodafone DHD on release in Aus and was prompted to make a gold card, eventually managed S-OFF without one.

You get the main version older because your son. And you get the failed remote because your relocked the bootloader. Personally at this point I would unlock the boat loader again, flash cwr then a from and then its boot.img to get a working phone. Then if the pd98img/ruu that you need comes available go back and root properly. But for now I would say to at least get it in a useable state

Depends on what rom you want to install.
So let's say you want to flash cm. Download the rom on your pc. Place a copy of it on your SD card as well. Boot into cwr and flash as usual. Once complete boot into the boot loader.(using adb reboot boatlader is convenient, but you could do it manually by pulley battery and powering up with volume down+power button)
Then take out the boot.img of cm zip and flash as you tried earlier(fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Then reboot phone

Hi.
I have the same problem as described here. But my desire HD is the spanish vodafone version.

- Start in bootloader mode

[Q] No boot

My dad got a HTC Incredible from ebay and it will not boot. It is stuck in bootloop if I try to just boot it normally. I can get into HBoot, S-on. HBoot version is 1.02.000. Recovery does not work from here. It just goes into bootloop. I've tried flashing various images with hboot as well as using RUU. RUU always gives me a error of 140.
Anyone have any idea of what I need to do?

You need to unlock the bootloader with the htcdev site unless its already unlocked, and then fastboot flash cwm recovery img.

When I go to the HTCdev site and select the phone then "Begin Unlock Bootloader" nothing happens. I'm assuming it will download an exe or something?

I am able to get the token for the phone through fastboot but I can't seem to get the site to progress past the main screen.
Edit - For some reason Chrome would not work on the site. I had to move to IE to get the process to work.

I was able to flash clockwork recovery but now when I choose to boot into recovery I just see the white HTC Incredible screen.

Hmm so your unlocked now and can use extended fastboot commands, that may come in handy. What android version and radio version is the phone on?

This is what I can see in HBoot.

Crap your right. Ok there is another way here is where fastboot comes in handy.
Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/mtd0.img, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe, the same place you put the unlock_code.bin file. Boot to hboot with the phone connected to the pc, and open a command promt to where the files are. Then type without quotes "fastboot flash misc mtd0.img".

any thoughts? As for ROM I have no idea whats on there, I attempted to clear storage in hboot and apply a recovery update with the PC36 img method which yielded

Update Complete...
Do you want to reboot device?
I chose yes - bootloop so go to hboot chose boot recovery - bootloop

I am no genius, but your hboot might need downgraded to HBoot_0.76.2000 for fastboot commands to work .

After doing some reading I believe you are correct. Now I am on the hunt for a reliable way to go from .79 to .76 or for an RUU in PC36img form...

Try This link calks post

Thanks, do you know if I can rename the file and update from hboot? I am unable to access recovery or the ROM proper.

Well... found a RUU that matched everything applied it the radio update failed and like a retard I restarted the phone instead of going back to hboot... Now its bricked...

Sorry to hear that man... you still might be able to get back around the brick,just have to get the right thread thread for tips on restore on brick. And if you do get it up and running, I would recommend for a custom recovery to make the peripheral tasks easier. Then you could just concentrate on porting your app instead.

Can't root - always get "data transfer failure" when sending recovery

Hello,
So I've spent the last couple of days trying to root a T-mobile Wildfire S. The furthest I got is to get the bootloader unlocked (it's still S-ON). I've tried several utilities from xda forums as well as just the command line of this sort: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" with a few different recoveries. I always get the following error (with the numbers varying, obviously):
sending 'recovery' (4744 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.014s
I've tried it with the SD card I used on the phone as well as with cleanly formatted one.
Am I missing some basic step somewhere?..
If it helps, this is what it shows me when I do the power+volumedown boot:

This is driving me crazy. Considering I had to reset the phone to unlock the bootloader, not being able to at least get the benefits of rooting it is really frustrating. Any help is appreciated!

Since the error you received was a data transfer error I'm thinking it might be one of two things. Maybe its just your usb cable and you might have better luck with another one or you don't have all the HTC drivers properly installed. Not sure if this is related, but I've read that 2012 versions of the phone give you more trouble when trying to root them.
Sorry my knowledge is limited since I'm a it new to this as well. If its any consolation, I spent almost a whole day figuring out how to root my WFS.

You have to go to htc dev to unlock your bootloader... I think you'll find answer if u look around the forum.... Cause most of us unlocked it...
Without unlocking/s-off u cant get recovery flashed... If u cant flash one recovery try different recoveries... one of them should succeed..
