[HELP][Q] May have bricked desire?!

Hi there,
Yesterday I gave my younger cousin my phone to play angry birds and a few other games for him to give me my phone back stuck on the boot screen. I asked him what he done for him to say it ran out of battery and he tried to switch it back on and it was like that. Few minutes later and he had owned up to going into Rom Manager and going into a few things!
It was running AuraxTSense v8.2. I had clockwork recovery installed but it doesn't seem to be booting up when I am going into recovery.
I am able to get into HBOOT and then into recovery. When it comes up and I press VOL+ and Power I get into 'Android system recovery <2e>' with a message coming up in yellow writing 'E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command'.
I still have 4 options and I have tried a couple of roms with 'Apply sdcard:update.zip' but whenever I try it I get E:signature verification failed.
It may be something simple I'm missing or it may not but I am now stuck and am now having to ask those with greater knowledge of the phone for help.
It would be much appreciated,
Craig

Do you have s-off? If you do you can flash another recovery from hboot, if your not s-off, download a htc ruu and put your device in fastboot mode, connect to pc and run the ruu

No idea about s-off! Had a look at the ruu's but no idea what one to download. My phone is unbranded.

If it was unbranded out the box then download 2.29.405.5 and flash that. It'll get you back to stock and then you can root again. You will lose all data doing this, though

If your device is unbranded just use the latest one like i said just put your phone in fastboot and the ruu will recognise it

[Q] Is my Desire Recoverable?

hey everyone,
i recently tried to do a factory restore on my Desire using a Telus RUU from shipped-roms, however, it did not complete the update (because I forgot about needing a Gold Card)
However, now my phone just goes to a screen with the HTC logo in the middle and and exclamation triangle in each corner. No matter how I try and turn my phone on (Volume Down + Power / Back + Power / Menu + Power) they all come to the same screen with the HTC logo and exclamation triangles. Is there something I can do to recover my phone back to the OS (ANY OS will do)?
thankyou in advance for any help.

Yes all is not lost you need to connect the phone to a computer, pc or laptop and get the adb drivers and the adb software from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
This will allow you to get past the triangle thing and into recovery to flash a rom. Have a read of the link I have you about the adb and the thing your looking for I think is something like adb recovery_windows.bat that you will download as part of the adb stuff.
I have had it a few times and managed to fix with adb for windows
Look at the how to flash a rom section it tells you about the triangle thing you have at the moment
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

hi Dazzlet
i've got the adb software on my computer, just waiting for the java thing to download so I can install it. Looking through the link you gave me, I am not finding any information about where to go from here? I checked out the sections you said I should, but I can't find anything regarding the triangles thing I am getting. Any more help would be appreciated...
Sorry for being a pest.

In the link there is a section with a green heading that says how to flash a rom that is the steps you need to take to fix the problem
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Sorry if I'm being naive, all I am finding is information on how to do this from the phone. Am I just missing something on how to install a ROM from my pc without being able to interact with my Desire? Thank-you again.

Alright managed to figure it out. Was a gold card creation issue. My Desire HD memory card is MMC2, which isn't supported in the gold card tool app. After that I got a RUU to load onto my phone.

thast wierd you needed a gold card 4 your telus desire but i didnt 4 mine

And even with the gold card I was unable to use the TELUS RUU. Had to use a generic one. Would have been nice to have gotten the TELUS one on.

EddyOS,
yes that is the RUU that I tried using, downloaded it a second time in case the first one had messed up during downloading, neither worked.

HTC DESIRE unroot with RUU 2.3.3 failed

Hi guys.
I know there are several posts already opened about this, but I`ve tried all I read there and nothing worked.
I wanted to send my rooted Desire back for repairs(camera LED broken thanks to a Torch app), and wanted to unroot it before I do.
I`ve read on some posts that u can unroot the phone by running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU found on htcdev.com (the official RUU), so I downloaded the RUU, installed hTC Sync, installed the Desire`s USB drivers(the same one`s that are required when rooting with Revolutionary).
The RUU started installing, the phone rebooted into the HTC splash screen and the "update" of the RUU started going, both PC and phone showed the cursor of the installing process, and at about 90% the PC gave me an error (update error).
I`ve tried again and again to run the RUU but everytime, it failed. And now, my Desire just won`t boot. I`ve taken the battery out, put it back, turned it on, and the only thing that appers on the screen is the white HTC logo on a black background, with 4 icons in each corner of the screen(looks just like the icon that appears when u plug in the usb cable with USB debugging mode ON).
Volume-down+Power and BACK+Power don`t work anymore, even though I press them, the phone just simply ignores the keys and takes me back to the before mentioned hTC splash screen.
I know this is probably something I did wrong, but if there`s any one kind enough to help me out with this, I`d deeply appreciate it.
Thank you!

plug the phone in then turn it on, tell us what it says

It doesn`t say anything.
This is what I do:
1. Take the battery out.
2. Put the battery back in place
3. Try turning phone on using: Volume-down+Power -> the phone doesn`t show anything, it simply takes me to the HTC logo(white HTC logo on black background. It does the same thing if I turn it on using BACK+Power)
If I try running the RUU again, the installer gives me the next message: Error[152]: image update error.
From what I`ve read, this is a radio error which can only be fixed by hTC. Could that be true?
Also, after the RUU gives me the above error, if I unplug the USB cable, the phone shows following:
*************
RUU
Radio_V2 - OK
Splash1 - OK
Recovery - OK
Splash2 - OK
Radio_cust - OK
Bootloader - Bypassed
Userdata - OK
System - Fail-PU
Boot - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
*************
I have the Alpharev CM7 r2 bootloader.

even if it is its covered by htc warranty so don't worry about it

I don`t think it coveres it, as the Alpharev CM7 R2 bootloader still shows.

oh you're still S-OFF?
You're automatically in fastboot when you turn on since your phone is like that so just turn it on, plug it in first flash this and then flash this, Then run the RUU again.

Yes, I`m still S-OFF.
How do I flash them if I can`t access recovery using Volume-down+Power or BACK+Power?
I`ve downloaded the first one, renamed it into PB99IMG.zip, put it on root of SD CARD, turned phone ON and it takes me to the same htc logo screen as before.

Tried with Android Flasher, but it gets stuck when trying to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img that u`ve given me.
So basically, I can`t enter Clockworkmod, I can`t enter the bootloader menu by turning on phone usine Volume-down+Power / Back+Power, and the phone is stuck in the HTC logo, while still S-OFF-ed, also the 2.3.3 official RUU gives me the error at the end of the installing process.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do?

Bortak, one million thanks for the help, patience and the time you`ve wasted.
I managed to pull it off in the end.
My desire lives again
And hey, if ever in Romania, let met know, got a couple of beer cases with your name on them
Thanks again, dude!
Peace.

I have the exact same problem as i_cs_u.
I tried to use an RUU to install 2.3, I have alpharev cm7r2 installed and I get stack on the same step as i_cs_u. I successfully flashed bravo_alphaspl.img with "fastboot boot bravo_alphaspl.img", but which partition do I flash bravo_downgrade.img to?

Flash bravo_downgrade.img and then the RUU.

Thanks for this. Returning desire tomorrow (switching networks) and forgot to resize and downgrade hboot before running ruu. Good job I ran into this thread for a reminder!

hey, i have a same problem as i_cs_u and dont know how to solve it, can someone give me explained proces?

Did you read the whole thread????

yes but he says that he cant do anything and then in next post he says its solved. i dont know how he solved this?

He probably figured out that he has to use the fastboot flash boot *name of img* command or Android Flasher on that screen with the 4 ! At the corner instead of renaming to PB99IMG and attempting to flash it on the phone.

Touch Screen Freeze
Hello...!!!!
Have the same problem...Everything went on fine till the time when i tried installing RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814_signed.
Once the installation completed and the phone rebooted the touch screen of the phone froze completely....!!!
I cant move out from the home screen where i have to swipe the screen to go to the home page...and so i am nt able to turn on USB debugging.
Tried to install RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814_signed again but in ended up with the same problem.
Dont know what to try next...!!!

Try some other ruu.. Go to wildfire index in development section.
Edit:
I forgot. You wont have usb debugging enabled so you wont be able to install another ruu.

take the rom.zip out of the ruu by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=486701&d=1294753279 , rename it pg49img.zip boot into bootloader and try flash it from there.

" I'm not lucky,I'm blessed "

I'm having the same issue with touchpad...
I've tried extracting the ROM like descripted in the guide, tried renaming it both ways, but the HBOOT just doesn't retrieve it.
Did I just kill my friend's Wildfire?
Jeez, my DHD was waaay easier to root, this one got complicated. And it was already S-OFF , so I was like: Great, one step less...

I've this same issue.
Even after re-installing and RUU via the SD card, then trying installing the original stock Froyo, the screen still doesn't work (it also undid all my work on the device).
So now I've a completely unusable device.

Not working even with PC49IMG.zip

Had this sorta issues with my wildfire too... If your device is S-OFF, you can downgrade and upgrade at anytime but if not, you can only upgrade.
Boot to HBOOT, connect your USB cable and select FASTBOOT (USB FASTBOOT) and run the RUU... It should go on smoothly from there. And I'd recommend this RUU RUU_Buzz_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.15.707.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_131306_signed. Hope it helps.

You know what? I had this same issue the night after I posted on here... Give the phone a break... Like a day without putting it on... It should work afterwards. Or If you want a fast break... Open Wildy up and clean the TouchPanel... Remove the screen and heat it under the sun or heat it up with whatever is hot.

Touch screen still not wotking.. The HTC service centre says that they cannot change the software... I have tried around 10 RUU's ... All of them have failed.. I also tried installing using PC49IMG.zip... That also has failed . I have also tried installing Official CM for Wildfire.. That also failed.. What's the next step I should take to recover my phone?

It should cost around 25$ while HTC guys might charge you 45$-50$.

Help with root please yes ive read and done alot!

Hey all and sorry for this thread as i know you ahve probably seen them before but for the past week i have been trying to root my Wildfire S which was given to me after i sold my other phone.
Now i have read many posts and tried many things but so far i have gotten no where and i have no idea what im doing wrong, i have been to the HTC website and signed up i have then downloaded the right exe file (o2de/en if i remember right) started to run that then when the phone reboots the applicatin dies and the white screen i get when i unplug the cable is "ruu..." and thats it no other text.
I have also tried installing zip files onto the sd card and running them but these have failed too specially when it comes to the root.zip al i get is a red triangle with an explanation mark (up +power > install from sd = nothing)
Can someone help me out, i basically want to try soem roms out i have teh one thats on i have been using go launcher with ICS on it but it does not work fully to my likening plus if its possible i want to change the start up screen adn also get rid of some of the bloat wear.
Thanks in advance if someone is willing to take the time to look and help out. Im near the end of my teather and re-installing go launcher and evrything else (wiped the phone clean before attempting to root)
Btw ive tried guides on this site and on many others using htc website, pg76img (3.75 and 3.50mb versions) and now like i said im stuck.

Yeh tried that tutorial before and always got stuck on this part: C:\​Users\​[YourLoginNameHere]\​AppData\​Local\​Temp​\​{82B23FCD-D5D0-45CA-A3A2-5350D3926551}
Anyway finally got round it by using CCleaner and finding the right app an now installing the SDK. Dunno why i didnt think of clearing out the temp folder before doh! Will report back if i have another issue. =)

Nope stuck, this was the issue i was having before. I thought i just fixed it but nope not getting any further.
I am upto fastboot oem get_identifier_token, the issue i had was i would plug in the usb cable get 3 short fast beeps from the computer (not recognized) which i have since fixed so it makes the correct beep. But soon as i do the following:
cmd
cd \
cd android
fastboot oem get_identivier_token
I get "waiting for device".
I will have another shot tomorrow been a good hour now iphone was alot easier to do lol

Guess im staying unrooted then im stuck =(

waiting for device means it's not connecting in fastboot mode.
you need to boot the phone by holding vol- and power, then after it's finished reading the sd card, press power again to select fastboot mode (the writing at the top should say "fatboot usb" in re writing.
is your phone bl-unlocked or s-off? because i think you need one of those first before you can try flashing custom recovery?
::EDIT::
if you're having problems with HTCdev site etc....I think there was a tool floating around somewhere that could unlock bootloader without HTCdev site....
::EDIT2::
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576844
try this tool for BL-unlock without htcdev.
