I have an A8183 from Telstra Australia. I rooted it using the revoked method, following the Telus Desire HBoot 0.83 Root and Flash guide on these forums. (new member unable to link).
I had the Cyanogen mod installed on the phone but didn't really like it. I wanted the HTC sense ui back so I tried to run a few generic RUU to get it back to normal.
Of course I got the Error 130 (Model error) or whatever it was. So I tried the Telstra RUU. I then got Error 140 (Bootloader error) and read around and found out I needed to downgrade to bootloader 0.80. Obviously did not realise this would affect the SLCD screen and remove the display drivers for SLCD to work.
I now have a phone with no screen, it boots and I hear the noises, but no display - not even in the bootloader or recovery mode. I tried putting the FroYo OTA on my gold card, renaming it "update.zip" but it didn't work, probably because I think I have a custom recovery mod I got from following the thread I linked above. Can someone please give me a noob guide to fixing this?
Use your gold card and flash WWE RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
Your screen is going to come back(the above RUU is SLCD compatible) and then download your Telstra RUU and flash with your goldcard(make sure RUU is SLCD compatible)
I've tried lots of RUU's and it takes about an hour to download one. The ones you just linked look similar to the ones I've already tried. I'm currently downloading it, as well as the Froyo one.
Will post back in an hour or two as to what happens.
EDIT: It says there is a problem with the USB connection whenever I try to run the RUU...How do I fix that? My computer recognises there is something plugged in, and the charging light is on my phone.
I tried this:
1. Remove the battery
2. Insert the gold card
3. Hold down volume down then press power
4. Blindly press power again to get into fastboot???
5. Run: RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe
and/or Run: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
On step 4, windows recognises a USB device but fails to install the driver. I went into the device manager and there is "Android 1.0" listed there. I tried to update the drivers manually by using the ones in the AndroidSDK. I'm assuming this has something to do with what happens on step 5. *UPDATE* Installed HTC Sync with the driver, uninstalled HTC Sync, windows picked it up. Windows required a restart before I was able to flash any ROMs.
On step 5 it gets up to the screen where it says "Gathering information about your android device" (or something). It times out and says Error 170 - Usb connection error.
*UPDATE* restarting the RUU fixes the USB connection error, however ALL of them give Error 130 - Model invalid. The only RUU that works is RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851.exe and unfortunately that has already been flashed onto the phone - so it does not fix the screen. If anyone knows of an RUU that will work with my phone? Or perhaps a Telstra one that actually works and restores my bootloader or something.
Someone pleeeeeeeeease help
From what you say, I think the LCD is bricked but the phone is working otherwise. Just to confirm power on the phone and let it boot normally. You should hear the boot sound and then after 2-3 mins try calling from another number to see if it rings.
Once it is at that stage, connect the mobile to PC via usb. Ensure htc sync software is installed (Not the drivers alone, but the full htc sync software). Then run the .exe that is compatible with SLCD. Your phone should get flashed. You cannot see anything on the mobile screen yet, but you can see the status on your computer.
I am not sure if RUU flashing will work from recovery/fastboot screen..... I am guessing you get the timeout error cos the phone is not booted. Give it a try.
Yes, Yes to all of that. Like I said, the only RUU that works is the Telstra one atm, and that is already on the phone. Like I said, I flashed that after downgrading to bootloader 0.80. All the other RUU's that I have tried to flash give a model id error.
If anyone can point me to an RUU from Telstra that enables use of the screen I would like a link please
I may be giving you a wrong advice, but have you tried to turn the phone on while pressing the back button? (not the volume down, the back button), and flash a compatible RUU?
Yea I've tried that with most of the RUU's that I've downloaded. It just gives model ID error. The only compatible RUU that I've come across is this one Telstra one that I've found on this forum. None of the other generic ones seem to work. I can't seem to find another Telstra RUU that will work. I have no idea if the phone is even still rooted, or what version the bootloader is (My guess is still 0.80 - even though it needs to be 0.83).
I'm unable to re-root the phone with a method like unrevoked because I can't enable USB debugging (can't see anything) and unrevoked doesn't find my phone.
At the moment I'm just playing around with flashing different RUU's remaking my gold card, installing/uninstalling HTC sync, flashing RUU in what I think is the bootloader screen, what I think is the fastboot screen, and when the phone is fully booted. (This would be a whole lot easier if I could see what was happening).
The only luck I've had is re-flashing the original Telstra RUU which does nothing to the screen...
(not the volume down, the back button)

- What does that do?
Turning the phone on with the volume down key pressed takes you to HBOOT menu
Turning the phone on with the back button pressed takes you to the fastboot menu directly, if I'm not recalling bad you need to be there to flash a RUU, It's worth the try...
I tried it with the back button - Same deal Error 130 - Model ID Error.
Apparently you can fix that with a new gold card. I read somewhere else to remake your gold card step by step. One of the steps requires USB debugging to be on your phone to record the serial numbers listed in the command prompt with the phone plugged in. I already have goldcard.img and have tried putting it on multiple microSD cards, I now have no more to try out.
Anything else I can try?? This is my only phone :S
I am not an expert on flashing, but I had bricked the LCD on my desire before. But mine was unbranded and flashing a unbranded RUU that got my phone and display working again.
What I would suggest is you can try flashing an unbranded WWE Froyo RUU that is compatible with the SLCD desire. If you have the gold card, you can flash any RUU to your phone (That is my understanding)
If you are not able to flash any other RUU, maybe the gold card is not proper. As far as I know, you should use the .img only on the sdcard which was in the mobile when you executed the commands. using .img generated with one card on another sd card will not work I think. At least it didnt for me.
Also the RUU is not bothered about the Hboot version on the phone. An RUU will have it's own bootloader and it will flash it onto the device over the existing bootloader
And above all, do not panic. The device can be recovered and restored. It is just a matter of time and patience and trying out a few things.
Edit: I forgot to ask, Do you have a nandroid backup done immediately after rooting?? If you have done it you could save yourself a lot of time by just restoring it.... If you have not backed up, then Lesson No 1 in rooting -> ALWAYS do a nandroid backup before you do things.
I think I have to agree. After about 20 hours of trawling forums I am 90% sure that I screwed up the initial gold card. (unrevoked doesn't require a gold card - so I thought it worked).
Is there a way to create a new gold card without an android phone? If you could point me to a guide that would be awesome. Obviously I'm prepared to buy a new microsd card to fix my $900 phone :S
Do you have USB debugging enabled?? If it is enabled, you just need the phone to be booted to create goldcard. Insert a formatted sd in the phone and boot it up, connect via adb and generate the CID numbers and try to make one.
If usb debugging is not enabled, then you can play "blind" game and try to enable it without the screen. It's tricky but certainly possible.
It was, but unfortunately the flash that ruined my screen returned it to default, which I assume would turn debugging "off". The blind game? never thought of that, I guess I could try look around for a youtube video of someone doing it or something. If anyones got spare time some STEP BY STEP exact instructions would be awesome

If you search for lcd brick fixed, you should find a step by step guide to turn usb-debug on.
To flash a ruu, your phone needs to be booted in android normally, the ruu reboots it in fastboot itself. If you get an error flashing the ruu, try updating the android phone drivers. Even if Windows said it didn't update, try the ruu again. It worked for me with a friends phone.

Well here are the steps..
1.Power on the phone and after 2-3 mins, press the power button to load the lock screen
2.Swipe down to unlock.
3.You should be in homescreen if device just booted. Press menu and then press the spot immediately above the search button. This should take you to settings screen
4.Now swipe long strokes with your finger "down to up" 4-5 times on the screen.. you are now swiping down the list.We need to make sure we reach the end of it.
5.Once you reach the settings list's end, the "Applications" link will be located just below the volume "+" key. about 5-7mm below the + mark. press the spot.
6.Now you should be inside the applications. Now keep swiping down on the trackpad. Do it for 10-15 times no problem. There are only 4 items in the list and doing it many times will ensure the selection is now on "Development" which is the last item in the list
7.Press the trackpad. The development should now get selected
8.Wait for a second. Press the trackpad again(No up/down). USB debugging will get selected.
9.Wait a second. Press the trackpad again. The popup "ok" button will get selected.
And you are good to go
Connect to PC and see if you can connect via abd.
This is assuming that Debugging is turned off. If it is already ON, then doing this will turn it off. So first check if you can connect via adb before attempting this.
I followed all the steps in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750852
I even spent an hour getting the debugging to turn on.
I managed to root my Desire again and got down to step 35. Unfortunately that RUU gave a model ID error. Just like all the rest.
Thanks for all your help guys, although this is driving me insane :S

thanks to the awesome guys at http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
After playing the blind game and turning on USB debugging, I was able to use my computer as a screen which made things a whole lot easier.
After following the guide linked in the post above:
- I bought a new microSD
- re-made the gold card
- Followed steps 30 onwards...
- ran the RUU several times (it finally worked whilst in boot mode)
- AND MY SCREEN TURNED ON F*%K YEA!
Great to hear!!!
Now do a Nandorid backup and then you can go about trying out any mod/rom you want and you can always get back your original state with a simple nandroid restore.
And that ScreenCast looks interesting... will give it a try
I appoligise if this has been asked before.
I have a HTC Desire Z which I have rooted using the Cyanogen Wiki Method which i believe was successful, I wanted to check whether I was S-Off before loading custom roms.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting
I read on a forum you should bootload to check, so i held power and VOL up on restart however now i have a black screen with a flashing red led at the top and am unable to get out of this mode does anyone have any advise what I need to do?
Anything would be helpful I'm in the UK military currently deployed on OPS this is my only means of comms to family. Thanks in advance.
Crap, so you're stuck in bootloader huh? Well if you have a PC with you then thats good news. Cause you can just flash something via your bootloader if you have ADB set up.
Wait, you said it has a red led lit right?... the battery might have died on you in all honesty because that's the only time a red/amber led would come on. If this is the case just leave it charging for like 20 minutes before try to turn it on.
Anyways, if that isn't the issue try getting the screen onto that bootloader page. As soon as you get to that you can start fixing it. It should say FASTBOOT_USB or something similar to that. Now on your pc start up your CMD Prompt (Run > 'cmd'). From there try typing Fastboot devices and it should list your device as HT########. If you can get to that then we're doing well.
BEFORE you try this, just note I've never fastboot flashed a ROM and I only posted this because you seem to need it urgently. If you can wait, then post what you've actually done to the phone so I can provide you with a more tailored solution that will work. (post whether the phone is rooted, s-off or superCID or just the guides and where you got stuck)
Now what you need to do is plug your microSD into your laptop and do this:
Aegishua said:
Before you do this please do the following:
1a. Download the RUU I’ve linked (it should be a ~300mb exe file)
1b. Run the setup until you get to the screen with the tick boxes
1c. Goto C:\Users\<your account name>\AppData\local\temp. Then right click and Sort By Date Modified. Look for the most recently created folder which should look like {xxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx}. Then navigate into it and its parent folder. Look for rom.zip and copy that to your goldcard/memory card.
1d. Rename the rom.zip on your memory card to PC10IMG.zip
1e. Mount your sd card back onto your phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In this case you want it to be called update.zip. Now you can pop the microSD back into your phone and from there get back into your bootloader and switch to fastboot. Now when it says fastboot_usb you can run this on your PC's CMD Prompt. fastboot update /sdcard/update.zip
did you try something as simple as a battery pull? also, I noted you said power + vol up, you need to do power + vol down to enter bootloader. I seem to remember something similar happening to me back in the day.
chances are it's fine. I'd do a battery pull and boot it normally just to make sure, then power off and enter bootloader to ensure you are s-off by pressing power + vol down.
It is supposed to be volume DOWN + power, I just tried volume up, my phone vibrated 3 times and an orange light flashed continuously, but it was solved by a battery pull, and it was back to normal

Not sure what happened, but my Desire won't get past the logo boot screen any longer, and RECOVERY mode in HBOOT just reboots the phone (regardless whether the SD card is installed or not). I can get into FASTBOOT however. I tried communicating with the Desire via adb console on my Windows XP system (after ensuring that I have the latest version of HTC Sync installed). "adb" commands do not recognize the phone (error: device not found). "Fastboot" commands do recognize the phone. (The command "fastboot devices", gives me this in return: SH09ER801629). So I'm not sure if my USB drivers are okay with adb, but the fastboot success seems to suggest so. (Also, "MyHTC" shows up under "Android Devices" in Device Manager).
The phone was rooted with ClockWork Mod using UnRevoked, and had Teppic stock Froy v.2.10.405.2 initd as the OS. Originally, it had TELUS-branded Eclair. I've downloaded the TELUS Froyo RUU.exe, but don't know how to install it on the phone, if I can't access RECOVERY mode or adb console. I don't think I ever set up a Gold Card, to my recollection. Also, I've been out of the smartphone scene for 6 months, and did no mods, no flashes, no program installs to my phone in that time. So it's a mystery as to why this is happening. But the phone had been acting up lately, rebooting by itself during a call every so often.

if i'm not mistaken you can run the ruu and it should see the device if connected to pc with fastboot loaded.
as for trying to get back without losing data i'm new to all this so no idea
if you had run ruu on the phone and it was wrong type (i.e gsm ruu on cdma phone or other way round) then that explains the lack of capability.
Thanks for the tip. I ran the Froyo TELUS RUU.exe (should be the right type, as I have a Telus phone). It wouldn't work (in both main HBOOT screen and FASTBOOT screen). Gave me an "error 170". It could not connect to the phone, despite that I'm on Windows XP, that it says "Android Bootloader Interface" in Windows Device Manager, that it says "HBOOT USB PLUG" on the HBOOT screen when connected via USB, and that I am able to issue FASTBOOT commands from the PC. But I can't issue adb commands, so it appears I can only "partially" communicate with the phone from the PC.
Should I try CLEAR STORAGE, or could that fully brick my phone?
On the HBOOT screen, these are the status messages that load:
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
No Image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No Image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]

USB Brick
For me, it sounds like a typical usb brick :/ I hope you still have rooted ROM. Search through this forum for unbricking guide.
Put the ROM.zip from the RUU on your SDCard but name it PB99IMG.zip and then boot with volume down again to enter HBOOT, it should give you the option to flash your phone back to factory default then.

Thanks! I just tried that on the advice of another poster on another forum (before reading your reply), and that's the one and only thing that worked!
Especially when, after the RUU.exe wouldn't install, RECOVERY mode wouldn't work, nor adb, nor HTC Sync. Yes, I've lost my root access, but small consideration, considering I haven't lost my $500 investment! I'm sticking with stock now, as I'd rather not risk having a brick in the future.
As for what went wrong, I can't say for sure. But considering it took months after I had installed a ROM or otherwise modified the phone for problems to show up, I'm guessing it was probably the overclocking heating the chips. Which led to eventual random reboots during phone calls, and the eventual freezing of the boot screen, and subsequent inability of HBOOT to load PB99IMG.ZIP.
xda rocks, thanks to you and all those who took the time to reply.
sorry for delayed responce. I'm sure you had already found a solution by now but in the off chance you didn't.
you have to load fastboot not hboot.
from a power off state hold back button and power on phone. this will load fastboot and ruu will find device when run.

Fastboot will only work in Fastboot. ADB will only work when phone is booted and USB Debugging is on.
I don't know that as fact, I only know it from personal experience.
Use Fastboot to flash a new ROM, or at least a new recovery image. If you can get into Fastboot, you 'should' be able to fix your phone.

+1 There is a good guide to fastboot commands on the android wiki:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
Should be a case of wiping system, data, cache, then flashing recovery image. Then boot into that and restore a backup or flash a rom.

Does your phone get hot and overheated during the htc logo? It did so to me and it turned out to that my CPU had melted and overheated. Take it to your retailer and they will fix it for free because it's not your fault, it's the phone that overheated.
Try this:
-download this with ur pc and rename it a PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip ok?)
-then put it on the root of ur sdcard (not in some folder) through an sd card reader
-ensure the battery is charged much than 30%..better more
-with the phone off (remove battery and put again) press and HOLD the volume down key and press (still holding the volume down key) and hold the power button..hold both and wait to enter in the hboot
-there wait a bit, and it will ask to u if u want apply the update, select yes with the volume keys and confirm with power button

Hallo,
just now I was trying to open an app on my DHD but it kept force closing so I decided to Normaly restart it. When I did that it went to the Welcome Logo then got stuck and kept on turning on and Off.
Then I removed the battery and tried again. This time the Bootscreen appeared (I was glad since I could recover a backup version of the RAM) but to my amazement I couldn't navigate through the options. Even the power button didn't work. I tried several times but with the same results.
I was wondering is there a way to restore my mobile from my laptop (USB Debugging?) now after I reached this state?!
How could I solve this?
Any help would be appreciated
UPDATE: I noticed before the Bootscreen loads, there appears some messages quickly before they disappear. I kept on turning my phone on and off to see what they said eventually I came out with this

Can you navigate any menus? If you can't you probably have a volume key hardware issue. If you can, i would just put a p98diag.zip on the root and reflash (use the rooted one).
Sounds like you are booting into bootloader. You need recovery. Pull the battery, then reinsert and hold volume down + hit power. If that doesn't work if you have adb set up on computer, plug it in to computer and use adb reboot recovery.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
I guess that you have a PD98IMG.zip on sd card.
Remove it or everytime you reboot in bootloader it will ask you to update in a never ending story. Probably this is why all other commands are not working except reboot.
Then reboot bootloader and go to recovery.
No I can't navigate (the weird thing is the power button also dosen't respond) it's like it freezes as soon as it turns on... Could you give me the PD98IMG.zip in a separate link?
I tried reinst the battery while holding the volume + but it didn't work. It vibrated 4 times while the charge light turned green but that was it. It stayed green and the screen was off...
I've always had the volume keys issue even before it went crazy (they do not always respond to my press) but I just installed 3rd party apps as a workaround.
I couldn't find the p98diag.zip anywhere on the SD card (could you give me the path for it?)
I will try to reboot it through my laptop but could someone give me the commands I should write? I'm not that experienced in that field.
Btw I left it for a while before I turned it on again, it went into Safe Mode (no apps no nothing) then I turned it off and after several tries it finally turned on in the normal mode and was almost stable until I restarted it and it went to point 0 again and now I'm stuck with the bootscreen :S
Thanks for your help
Do you have adb set up on your computer? If so then connect phone to laptop. Open command prompt type "adb remount" then "adb reboot recovery"

while looking through the files I used to root my phone when I bought it I found the p98diag.zip. I copied it to my SD Card and wanted to install it. It found it but then it said
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] BOOTLOADER
[2] BOOT
....
but it's been like that for 2 hours now. I tried reinst the battery and pluging in the mobile to my laptop but it didn't recognize it. (I tried the adb and it gave me Device not found" error!
Is it normal for the phone to take long to parse the zip file? what should I do now?

You shouldn't have installed pd98diag. I would suggest either trying to run the ruu to get back to stock, or find the stock rom in pd98img.zip form and place on root of sdcard. Then reroot and start over.
Edit: if you find the stock rooted in pd98img.zip form that should work too and you won't have to reroot.
Edit 2: be sure to remove the pd98diag.zip from your sd card.

Good advice! I still have all the files I used to root (even the RUU)
And you're right I shouldn't have flashed the old pd98img because now my laptop can't recognize my mobile and I can't debug it from the command line (it says Device not found)
Can I still be able to root the img without using my phone? I used this guide to root my phone (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-downgrade-htc-desire-hd-to-root-it-after-ota-update/)
Where can I find the rooted img? and will it be possible for me to upload it here so that someone could root it for me on his device and give it to me rooted?
To boot into recovery
Hold down volume - button (not +) while pressing power button.
Let go of power button but continue pressing down on volume -.
Hey presto ... recovery.
It's a very easy mistake to make, I did it myself a few times when I first got into rooting and flashing ROM's.
lol!
no mate I wish it was like that.

Problem is:
Few months ago i rooted my unbranded DHD, installed CyanogenMod 7.1, it worked perfectly fine for a couple of months, but a few days ago, my phone was on but did not respond anymore. I tried to reboot it, but it got stuck at the white screen with the HTC logo (sometimes it bootloops, other times it freezes)
I rebooted the phone with the volume down key pressed, so it would give me that menu,
scrolled down to "Recovery", i get the recovery menu from ClockworkMod (5.0.2.0), but then my volume key does not work ! i can not do whipe or anything else, the phone freezes.
I mounted the SD card in my PC, cleared it, put a rom in root of SD card and call the rom "PD98IMG.zip" and put the SD card back in my phone. I start the phone with the volume key down pressed, i get that
white screen with the menu and it then finds the .zip file.
It then reads the image, parses the image and then tries to load "NV.img" on which my phone freezes again.
I tried CyanogenMod and LeeDroid, and a stock rom. They all do the same thing, as written above.
When i connect my phone to my PC, my pc tries to install the driver, but gives me an error, saying the device is not known. I have installed both HTC Sync and the SDK. Tried it when i had only HTC Sync
installed, did not work either.
I also tried a RUU (.exe file) but this program tells me there is no device connected...
My phone is over a year old, so i have no warenty anymore, that's why i rooted it.
Phone is in S-Off Mode
HBoot-0.85.2007
Radio-26.03.02.26_M
OS version 1.72.405.3
Tried to boot with SIM and SD, just the SIM, just the SD and with none of them. Outcome is still the same.
i've read a few things about abd and such, never used it before, so please, speak noob
ok...
got it sorta running, but, whatever rom i install, it comes back like its chinese, it wont see my SIM and im in some sort of set up. I can do the setup, but when i come at the Wifi menu where i have to choose my wifi, it freezes..
Tried stock rom, CyanogenMod 7.1 (on which it ran perfectly before it crashed) and LeeDroid.. they all come to this..
Now when i try to load a rom (cyanogenmod 7.1 again) and go into hboot then choose recovery, the phone shows an image of a phone with a red triangle with a ! in it.. and wont install..
Delete PD98IMG from sd card. Reboot the phone as you did before (volume down + power button) plug the usb to pc (It should now read fastboot usb) and try to run an official RUU.exe
Just to see if it works with the stock rom.
The red triangle could be the stock recovery. From stock recovery you cannot flash any custom rom. From red triangle screen push volume up and power button. It should go through a menu where you can try to do a factory reset, just in case...
Ignore the wifi setting, if this is causing freeze. You can set it later.
Here is a list of official RUUs. Download the appropriate and run (colud be the 12 from the top). I know you tried already but just an idea.
Also, you may need the driver. Uninstall HtcSync and download and install this Driver. Better to reboot pc after you installed the right driver.
Good luck!
Thank you vey much !
Downloading a RUU at the moment. I also wanted to download that driver, but that is not a correct link. (the link says http:/ /htcdriver.3.00.700.exe which ofcourse wont let me download anything.
Could you please give the correct link ? For now i'll try the SDK one, downloading that RUU is going to take another hour, i'll be trying this RUU when its downloaded.
Thnx again !
