[Q] 2.3 Problem, please help!

So, my Desire HD popped up with the new Android 2.3 Gingerbread update last night, and i downloaded it. After downloaded, i plugged it into my charger, and startet the softwareupdate. But instead of updating, the phone rebooted with this screen.
Edit: I'm unable to post the picture since i have less than 8 posts, but you can see the picture by googling Android exclamation.
How do i get out of it? Does anyone know?
- Thanks!

Doesn't anyone know a solution for this?

Did you delete any system apps?

I had this problem because I rooted and had S-OFF on 1.32.
That verification error is coming up on boot up because you have S-OFF like I did.
The solution is to flash your phone with the 2.3 Gingerbread RUU which is the same as the OTA.
You can then use Gingerbreak .apk to get rooted in Gingerbread I did this and it worked day before yesterday when I had this exact same issue.

Could you maybe explain it a little more detailed?
Where do i download the Gungerbread RUU, and how do i install it when i'm unable to boot?

1. press power and vol- and go to bootloader download the ruu 1.32 from here and run exe on your computer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824357
2. make a temp root with visionary
3. Download radio s-off tool from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537 and make a stock cid which is HTC_001 and leave your phone s-off in case tou wouldn't like 2.3.3
4. Restart phone and check for update

I'm not at home at the moment but there are threads here with the download links to the official 2.3 RUU. You want the .exe 2.3 RUU make sure you have usb debugging enabled and attach your DHD to pc and run the 2.3 RUU .exe program to update its easy to follow the program, once done use Gingerbreak .apk to root as I did.

I'm unable to enter bootloader by holding down the power button and the volume down button, but my phone is already rooted. Is it still possible?
Downloading WWE 1.32.405 Atm.
And my phone already has S-OFF, or has it been removed because of this problem?

I tried following your instructions, but it said that there was a error with the connection between the phone and the computer.
USB Debugging was enabled when i started the gingerbread update, shouldn't it still be on? If not, how do i enable it when i'm unable to boot my phone?

Usb debugging needs to be enabled and you should be in Charge only mode when connected to pc when running the RUU .exe - are you ?

An alternative is you can flash a prerooted gingerbread stock through clockworkmod recovery. Though you would have to flash the radios seperatly if you wanted those as well

I was the last time i was able to use my device.
The computer doesn't seem to know that the device is connected.
I send an email to HTC, waiting for response.

You need to make sure you have connectivity between pc and DHD. Put your DHD in disc drive mode does your pc open the SD card ?
Also have HTC Sync installed on pc. I had an issue like this on win 7 64bit ultimate, downloaded and installed android sdk, then from android sdk downloaded 'platform-tools' this has the same adb inside.
If your HTC Sync is syncing you have connectivity. Just have your DHD in usb debugging and charge only when running the RUU .exe

How do i put the phone in disc drive mode when i'm stuck on the android warning screen?

Take the battery out and switch on, it should boot up to normal stock 1.32 or whatever you were on before trying to update via OTA. Then check connectivity between pc and DHD. Have usb debugging enabled and try syncing with HTC sync. Then you can see from that if you have any connection problems. If all ok proceed with running 2.3 RUU .exe on pc while DHD is connected in charge only mode.

Yay!
Glad I could help. I'm new to this all myself but had that exact same problem so know how it is.
Now all you need is the Gingerbreak .apk if haven't already run that from DHD and you have S-OFF and rooted 2.3 Gingerbread

[Q] Help Please - Bricked One X

Another thread like this... I know. Sorry.
In an attempt to load the modified battery management file, I've managed to brick my One X. It just sits at the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen and that's as far as it gets.
I can boot into bootloader and then use fastboot, which in turn has allowed me to load the Clockwork Touch Recovery. I can reboot and load this recovery fine. But whatever I try, I cannot get it to boot back into the normal OS.
I cannot mount the phone on my laptop as that's not an option (that I'm aware of) in the One X recovery mode. Therefore I cannot copy across a new ROM to the SDCard and reload via 'Update.zip'.
Battery is healthy, everything was working prior to this failed attempt at being clever.
What other options are there to re-load a ROM and get the device working again?
Thanks in advance for your help
Rob

Thank you, very much. A question, where it says:
'After that download RUU specific to your handset and run. This should install fine and return you to stock.'
I've downloaded what I think is right and I have a .zip file, how can I get this onto the device to install it?

It is mentioned in the instructions. You will need to use adb.
Edit: I presume that you have fast boot and adb installed on your PC. If not you will need to do that for your device to be recognized

That's the trouble, I can't. Because there is no USB access in recovery, ADB doesn't work.
Unless I'm missing something obvious?

I just edited my reply. Do you have all the drivers installed on your PC?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

No adb.
Boot into fastboot on mobile and run the RUU from pc.
You need to have your bootloader locked before the RUU can run.
fastboot oem lock

Also did you try a factory reset in recovery and then tried to reboot into system

Thanks guys, sorry for the slow reply...
I do indeed have ADP/Fastboot on my computer still.
Where can I download the stock RUU? I can find a .zip version from this very forum, but how do I install that if I can't transfer it? I had assumed there would be a .exe version to run from my computer. Is there?
skywalker1970 - I did indeed try that, thanks.
Thanks again

Flash boot without fastboot

Hello guys,
I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 and have installed all the drivers, java, google drives and so on but my phone will not connect to my computer. Alot of the ROM's I use are starting to use new boot.img's. Is there anyway to flash boot a boot.img without using fastboot. Right now I am using AOKP with sickernal 2.2. Runkin has his own boot.img that is installed with his rom that runs better than CM10's sickkernal. I can use Runkin's boot.img becuase I can not flash it in fastboot with my computer.
Any help would be awesome!

No there's no any other way since your phone is unable to connect your computer.......

Try to uninstall all the existing HTC drivers + HTC Sync Manager and do a cleanup with CCleaner. Then download the latest HTC Sync Manager and install it. It will install the drivers as well. After that you can safely remove/uninstall HTC Sync Manager, but do not uninstall the app called "HTC Driver Installer".
The above method works flawlessly on Win8 64b. I don't know if there is a simpler way to do it, like installing the driver only(because i wasn't able to find a driver only installation kit for One V and Win8)...

[Q] Virgin Mobile HTC One V CDMA pacman Rom help needed.

I have a Virgin Mobile HTC One V and had been using the pacman 19.3 ROM. Except for a few minor issues, I haven't upgraded to subsequent builds as they have all had major issues that would affect my use of the phone. However, pacman 22.1 was just released and it seems that everything is working. I downloaded the ROM and every time it sticks on the HTC unlock boot screen when booting into the ROM. At first I simply wiped dalvik/cache, and that did not work. Then I reverted back to pacman 19.3. I've tried many combinations of installing this ROM, but all have the same result, including wiping everything prior to install. I get the same HTC boot screen every time. Can anyone help me get past this?

did you flash the newer kernel?

I was directed to that eing the problem last night, and the answer is no I did not...however, I can't get the boot.img (which is a part of the ROM) to install using ADB. Even though I have HTC Sync Manager installed, and the driver installed and functioning (I can transfer stuff to my phone from my computer with no problems and it shows up in Windows Explorer) for some reason when I issue the ADB command it can't locate the phone.

like it doesn't recognize it in fastboot?

Yes. But when I go to control panel device manager the device is there and working as well as in Windows Explorer.

that's really weird...when you put it in fast boot mode does windows prompt you to install something?

No, it only will show a pop up error on my PC about the device, and when I check the device manager it shows the driver being a problem. But when I leave fastboot mode, the driver becomes fine.
I kept doing this over and over and finally one time it worked. I didn't do anything different, but I got it to work whcih was my goal. Sorry I can't offer any helpful hints and thanks for the replies!

ADB not recognizing device

Good day, I have been trying to flash a recovery on this phone but ADB won't list my device, I installed the HTC sync program and the sdk and still nothing, I even tried using a virtual machine and I got nothing.
Any help? Thanks in advance.

Adb is used when phone powered on normally or in recovery mode. To flash recovery, we usually use fastboot mode.
What state is your phone? Meaning if boot unlocked, s-on, etc.

The phone is unlocked an rooted but is stuck in hboot (it just keeps rebooting), I can access fastboot mode and when I connect the phone it changes to "fastboot usb" and the PC detects it as "android 1.0", I tried installing the drivers from the google SDK, the PDANet drivers and the HTC Sync program with no luck, it just detects it as "My HTC" (only when installing the HTC Sync program) and ADB doesn't detect it that way.
