Hi,
my htc desire is bricked... impossible to boot etc..
when i put battery and i push on power button, in 4 corners exclamation in triangles appear. (image in attachment)
my phone is S-OFF, android 2.1
i tried upgrade with sd card.. and with android sdk tools..but is not working.
Please HELP !!!
thnx.
screen image
please give full details of your phone. What hboot? custom? what RUU?
What did you do before it broke? in what order? then what happened?
i can't see any detail.. I have access only to the fast boot.
never custom firmware.. never s-on
during the upgrade i disconnect the phone.. and i tried really all things.. installing RUU from sdcard , upload RUU with sdk tool etc. etc..
before trying updates the SDK tools i had access to the boot menu (with power + volume down combinations) but now i can not even have that.. only screen with 4 exclamation icon.. and fastboot access with sdk-tools (android 1.0 phone drivers)
since 4 days i try everything... but no result.
this htc really make me sick.
please help me.
thank you advance
Alright then, how did you s-off? What RUU did you use?
You just rooted and kept the same software?
If you disconnected during upgrade you may have bricked it and only HTC can resolve.
When you RUU what failure message do you get?

I am sure if you can get into Hboot / Fastboot all is not lost, just use adb commands to restore functionality to your phone, like reflashing recovery and stuff.

Looks like a radio brick. You never did tell me what RUU you are using.
You cant use fastboot if you are S-ON
I had that to, and i get it running again.
In my case i had flashed the cm7r2 from alpharev before, so i had to use the downgrader first, to install my stock RUU.
After downgrading i startet the RUU.exe from windows, in the first try it stoped with an error.
If this happens you have to do all steps exactly ass the RUU installer says.
In the first try i didnt do that just klicked the steps away and didnt even read what RUU recomends.
But in the second try i did all these steps and i get my phone up running again.
And its important to use the right RUU for your phone otherwise you will get an signature fail
Edit: If your not s-off and you have isues getting into recovery, try to flash revolutionary, will gain you s-off and clockworkmod recovery

If fastboot works then he should be able to flash an recovery via cmd in windows
and then he could use revolutionary to or am i wrong ?
EDIT: Have you ever installed a different HBoot from alpharev before ??

You need an S-off alpharev SPL to enable fastboot flash command support. He is S-ON so he cannot fastboot flash anything.

Ok, You're right, and I have peace and quiet.
Or hey, why won´t we let him try if it works instead of saying NO
Ok this is the story.
So I see there is a new custom ROM (HTC One maXimus) with Android 4.1.1 for the One X. I decide to root it.
However the ROM forum tells me that I have to install this 'PJ46IMG.zip' containing the new HBOOT 1.23 in order for JB to run on my phone.
Following the guide, I then start to un-root my One X, first installing the recovery.img file, then re-locking the bootloader using the 'fastboot oem lock' command.
This is the ISSUE!
When I tried installing the RUU version for my One X (I matched the RUU looking at the bootloader menu Radio version), it tells me that my phone is not connected to my laptop (when it clearly is?!).
This is exactly what the bootloader menu says:
*** RELOCKED ***

MODEM PATH: OFF
My phone even says 'FASTBOOT USB'.
I can't seem to re-boot my phone as it always comes back to the bootloader, plus I get this "developer warning" message as the phone boots.
Also, whenever I try doing a fastboot command on my laptop, it's just stuck on 'waiting for device'.
IM LITERALLY STUCK GUYS! Just hoping there's someone here who knows exactly what to do
try rebooting your pc and bootloader

Hi, I did the exact same thing and faced the same issue. To resolve it, do one thing, just try unlock the bootloader again. And your phone will start working as before. For unlocking the bootloader you will need the Unlock_code.bin file which you used initially to unlock your bootloader. I hope you have the file. I was able to find it in my mailbox. HTC would have sent this file in email.
Let me know if I helped by clicking Thanks
So did you flash the stock boot.img before you relocked the bootloader? And your CID matched the prerequisites right?

Hi,
Now I think about it, I only flashed the recovery.img
Plus, I did not have time to check the CID, because everytime I enter a command, it is just stuck on 'waiting for device'
You should have checked the CID first before you even started to do anything.
Reinstall a stock RUU and then try to unlock bootloader from there.
Got it working now !!
All I did was use a different computer and re-rooted it! Thanks for all the help guys!

Are you on fastboot mode. Keep volume down + power button pressed for sometime and your phone will restart in Bootloader modem, you will be HBOOT, use the up and down volume keys to select fastboot, then press power button, your phone will switch to FASTBOOT from HBOOT. When you are in Fastboot mode, try running the command for unlocking.

Hey guys,
I got my OneX in April and rooted it directly when it became possible. I was running a Sense rom the last weeks and was absolutly happy with it.
But now i saw this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836919
JB is geat (already seen it on other devices) and I tried to flash it.
As the installation instructions told me I relocked my Bootloader. In the second I hit Return to execute "fastboot oem relock" my phone restartet to the bootloader. On the HTC Splashscreen it said something like "for development purposes only" in red below the green HTC logo (its too fast to read it carefully).
The Bootloader says the following:

FASTBOOT
Im not able to boot anymore, not to Android and not into recovery. Everytime i get stuck in bootloader.
I tried to relock my bootloader again, but i lost my unlock code binary file i unlocked it with (didnt recognizes that earlier -.- )
On every fastboot command it stucks at < waiting for device > and nothing happens.
Is my phone bricked or is there a chance to get it back to life?
I hope you guys can help me, my HOX and me need your help.
Thanks for taking the time

Al right, I've downloaded the RUU.
But I cant Install it on my phone. It throws Error 170 (no connection to the phone).
As is said in the first post, fastboot commands arent working, too....
This means:
-no recovery
-no adb
-no RUU
are there any other possibillities to get my phone back to life?

maybe try another usb slot, I've had it where just swapping slots as helped when trying to fastboot
Ok, I managed to get it back to life.
The problem was too easy:
For some reason an old driver version from HTCs drivers was still in my ram (didnt know that sth like that can happen oO ). And because of that I couldn't connect to the phone via adb/fastboot. I found that problem, because the device-manager said that there is this problem with my hox.
A simple system reboot (of my computer) solved the problem.
Thanks for all your help

First of all you can't run RUU with unlocked bootloader you need to relock it, go to fastboot connect phone to PC and run command:
fastboot oem lock
to relock bootloader.
Then run command:
fastboot getvar cid
to find the cid of your device. when you find it well find the appropriate RUU for you region.
However you can run PB.img from Goldcard without having to find appropriate RUU, but not all SD can be made to it. Go to AAHK2 thread and you will find what manufacturers are supported.

I'm unable to find appropriate RUU for your phone cause it's for TMobile UK. So Goldcard is the only way. However go to AAHK2 thread to find out which SD card can be used. When you make a gold card extract rom.zip from RUU that you tried, rename it to PD98IMG.zip, put it to the root of your goldcard and reboot phone to bootloader. Use Vol up and down buttons to install.

ok no problem i will give it a shot later tonight.. i will post my results... oh an i hit thanks
RESULTS: basically i now have a full stock desire hd although i now have no service i cant seem to get it to connect to my network... i followed all your instructions?
flash recovery
I have been through a similar situation before
But I have known the version of ruu for my phone
The key is the error message you have is solved by an easy way
You have to open the ruu u have
And look in the temp folder (%temp%)
For a file named rom.zip
Copy it
Unzip it
Flash boot.img
Recovery.img
System.img files in the fastboot menu
I.e
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Then try running the ruu again
It should work
Otherwise the gold card will solve it
Keep me updated
Dear all,
I have been looking around the forums and downloaded a few things and looked at various solutions, but I am stuck at the first hurdle.
I have been given an htc Desire Bravo that just will not boot. I do not know how it failed originally but I can only get it into the boot screens, either the fastboot/hboot logon ot the 5 buzzes and the htc logo lock. Also it takes about 30 minutes with the battery out after every failed boot attempt to restart the boot screen.
I have run adb but it cannot tell me a cid number, I have a micro sd card in it but it does not have the pb99diag.zip on it. When I put such a file on the sd card it does not find it. Communication via adb and the phone has varied success. I suspect it is drivers and what I read is an old adb bug where server is out of date.
I have never done this before this weekend so please be gentle with me!
If I can get it to work, even to use it like a wifi tablet without phone I would be happy. I am in the UK and if we have real success I would get it on tesco PAYG
I get the "cannot find pb99diag.zip etc" dialogue when going into hboot.

First make S-Off. I forgot how but if i think right, you must it do via revolutionary, If it success, then download 4ext recovery.IMG and flash it via fastboot and reboot in bootloader in your recovery

If u phone does not boot then u can NOT s-off, ur phone needs to be booted.. also if ur s-on and not rooted then all u can do is flash a ruu.
Did u try factory reset from bootloader menu? Try that first, u never know but chances r ul prob need to ruu a ruu.

Hi jmcclue,
Thanks for the comments. I can boot to the HBoot and Fastboot screens, thats how I could find the S-ON and version data. If I get it to reboot, I get either a white screen with just "htc" on it, or 5 buzzes and a screen with no life at all. I am hopeful to get it to S-OFF as I have had some communication through the usb to pc connection. I am not sure if I can do an RUU update as I don't seem to have a CID. I do not have a factory reset option on the HBOOT screen. I have tried clear storage but that has no effect. Perhaps I need the S-OFF first.
Cheers again,
A
Use the 2.3gb update ruu its wwe (world wide english) so dont worry bout cid. U can find it in bortaks troubleshooting guide in resources section and its naned 2.3.3 ruu. U will find it easy enough in google aswell. Search for "htc desire 2.3gb update" its a exe file so just boot ur phone into fastboot, plug in ur phone and run the ruu, hopefully it willvwork. Im a bit worried tho about the 5 vibrations u get, maybe a sign of hardware failure. But try that ruu anyway. And again u can not get s-off unless ur phone is fully working/booted.

Well that was a bit wierd
If anyone can see where I went wrong, feel free to say.
I could not seem to get the link between the phone and the pc so I removed the htc sync and restarted the pc. I could then connect to the phone in some way as abd gave a command error when I sent a fastboot oem readcid which it normally does. So leaving it in fastboot with usb I ran the wwe~.exe file and it all seemed to be doing installing. There were tens of installations going to the phone I guess each reaching 100%. Suddenly I had a web page popup in my browser s.rev2pub.com/ul_cb/player.html?a=19471543&context=c23573548&size=800x600&rt=popunder&ci=10&cb=[CACHEBUSTER] recommending I download latest drivers. The wwe ruu vanished and I have no continuing processes in Task manager that I can see.
So, should I have installed in hboot? Thankfully I can still get the phone to power on. What should happen after the exe file installs?
I am able to get some response from the phone as adb devices returns the phone device number. So I hope I can try again.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks

Can someone suggest where to start? I have tried a number of guides on the forum but no success so far. Even just getting an os running would be success. I will be looking at this each evening so apologies if I seem slow to respond
Thanks
Adrian

Hey Adrian, I had the same problem as you did, hopefully I can be of help.
First, like everyone else is saying you will need S-OFF.
To do this head to this site on your PC revolutionary.io hit download for windows or Linux or whatever your pc is running, then you will need to fill out information about your device (see attached screenshot). Device, HBoot number, and serial number, (the serial number can be found behind the battery of your device). Once you have done that, click "Generate Key". it will give you a key, remember it or write it down.
Then, open the file that was downloaded, and extract the contents to your documents and Run the revolutionary( should look like the screenshot attached). Plug your device in (assuming you have the drivers) and it should ask you to enter the beta key we had before. Enter that and hit enter. it will then S-off your Desire and soon ask if you would like to install a custom recovery. hit Y and then enter, once that is finished, unplug your device and in HBoot go to "Recovery". Now you can flash a ROM of your choice.
Hopefully I made sense!
Best of luck

Thank you Neibaf97
Can I confirm that I can do this from the HBOOT screen or the fastboot screen? Also where jmmclue said if I can't boot then I can't S-Off, does that mean boot to the HBOOT screen or into Android? Then if I want to load say WWE, do I put that on a microSD to get it to recover?
thanks again

Thanks lilsafbig, that was a little too ambiguous to understand, but I have a few developments.
I am able to communicate to some degree with adb between phone and pc. Before I was unable to get anything back but now with the right syntax I have got back the CID as HTC_001 and the device number. But when I run revolutionary from the fastboot USB screen the revolutionary continues to wait for the device to show. Is it likely that USB degugging was off prior to the failure, is there a way to get it on. I suggest this as when I connect it to my pc it recognizes the device and shows in the device manager as an htc unspecified device (this is progress). As I cannot boot android it does not show as an additional drive in file manger. when I try some of the fastboot oem commands I get bad command errors, whilst fastboot getvars is ok. Could this be why I cannot get revolutionary to S-OFF!
Thanks
additional info, when usb is in an in fastboot usb, the device manager sees it as android 1.0

If you can still get to bootloader / fastboot screen, then you are rarely ever bricked.
1. Ignore anything and everything to do with revolutionary and fastboot for now. I'm afraid the first few posts while trying to be helpful have been misleading. Get your phone booting up into Android OS first, i.e. into a stock ROM using an RUU
2. Use the 2.3.3. GB RUU, nothing else, it doesn't need a goldcard or care about CID etc.
3. Download it from the bottom here, then use Bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, Point [7] to run it as a PB99IMG.zip from the root of your sdcard. That way you don't need to run it through USB or care about what drivers are installed.
Thank you Eddie, I will try that. I did try flash a PB99IMG.zip before with no success but I will try again.
I found it here Official Stock Sense Gingerbread_v1.2 GB-2.3.3_A2SD – http://androidba.se/J7 for desire (neophyte)
I hope it can work out ok. I guess I format the sd card to fat32 not ext4
Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks,

That's a custom rom.
Here's the link for the 2.3.3 ruu.

That did not work because the file is not an RUU...it is a stock rooted custom ROM with A2SD (the clue is in the name). It is designed to flashed in recovery like any other ROM. Renaming it to PB99IMG.zip won't do anything.
Use the actual shipped roms RUU link provided.
Reformat your sdcard to a single FAT32 partition if necessary, then follow Method [7] of the guide, place only the PB99IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard (not in any folder)
