HD Desire stuck at boot, recovery mode will not load

Hi Everyone,
Running JellyTime (4.2) on my phone, but it all of the sudden does boot anymore. It just gets stuck on the JellyTime boot screen. When I try to boot the phone into recovery mode ( 4EXT Recovery), the phone vibrates three times and has a blank screen, with the amber LED continuously blinking. Is there any hope for this phone? Is there a way to maybe boot it via Windows? Or is the hardware dead or faulty now? Any help would be appreciated.
I've taken out the battery, SD, SIM card. But when I boot the phone with even just the battery inside the result is the same.
Cheers,
raczyk

Thanks for the suggestion t0mas. Does the reflash have to be a RUU file? Perhaps one from here?http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace

it doesnt have to be, but it can be. be careful not to flash froyo!

Thanks for the tip, from that website it would be a froyo, my telephone it Telus branded. Connecting the phone to my computer via USB does recognize a "HTC Android Interface", but when trying to control the phone from my PC using various fastboot packages, the phone does not respond. Is there particular fastboot tool you guys use?

I'm not sure but you might have to install the HTC usb drivers but don't install HTC Sync. You could then use fastboot to get the phone's CID and match it with the correct GB rom.
I have a Desire HD that I purchased used and it was running a stock Telus GB rom.

Yeah I can navigate Fastboot via phone, just don't now what image to laod onto it now. I have the following options: Bootloader, reboot, reboot botolaoder, power down. Currently I have the SD card and SIM card taken out of the phone. What image should I load onto it? From here it suggest the following "fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img." . img? I've always used .zip images the past such as "cm-JellyTime_42_R10.zip"

If you flash using a custom recovery such as cwm or 4ext, the file extension is .zip. When flashing through fastboot, the images would have a .img file.
Since you already had 4ext on your phone, did you try re-flashing 4ext to see if it will boot in recovery mode?
Edit: since you cid is now all 1s, you'll have to find a way to pull the cid from another source such as the radio file.

The phone does boot into 4ext recovery mode, i just can't install the .zip image. Do I need the cid to reflash with a .img image?
From fastboot here is the info, believe all I need is an .img image file. Any suggestions, please?

[Q] Install wrong rom and phone not stratup

Hey
I have looking for a good rom for my HTC desire a8181 but no one of them will work with my 3g or high speed internet. Now i have install rom there sure not fit to my phone and now it will not startup, only stock with HTC logo.
My recovery is also not work.
The only thing there seems to work fine is Hboot and Bootloader.
I have never been out for that before and i have looking at the internet to find something there can fix it but have not been locky.
I had installe Revolutionnary but i cant install that again...
My phone is root and s-off...

i really hope someone have something there can fix it...

Since youve got S-OFF this hopefully shouldnt be too hard to fix. Follow the instructions here to flash 4ext recovery using a PB99IMG. Then go into recovery, full wipe, and flash a rom.

Thanks.... any other idea about a rom

[Q] Stuck on HTC logo after flashing custom rom

I have an HTC Desire HD.
I unlocked it
s-off
rooted
flashed with cwm recovery
installed from ZIP file on SDCARD
rebooted
stuck on HTC logo regardless of what I attempt.
I have no idea where to go from here.
Any ideas?
Thanks

did you made full wipe?

What ROM?....which version of cwm? These are important factors

ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.8.1.5
I have tried different ROMs, all end up with the same scenario

I hope this answer helps you help me

Can you access boot loader? If so , go to it and post results of "fastboot getvar all". Maybe running an ruu will get u back on track.

Yest, bootloader is accessible and I attempted an RUU and ended up with the same result.
I will post the results of getvar all when I get home, stuck in traffic now
Thanks

Is this were it stops?
No one has any idea to what it could be, no need for an absolute solution, a mere possible or a reflection as to what I could have done wrong would be appreciated.

LOL
What can i say to you?
As you stated on very first post of yours where you mentioned that your device is S-OFF? then why "INFOsecurity: on" ??
Simply flash any custom rom then extract boot.img from that custom rom .zip file and flash it through fastboot using command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Afterwards it should boot normally. Recovery has no issue nor given rom as you've mentioned on your post. Just requires boot.img to be flashed as your device is S-ON! not S-OFF.

I read a little sarcasm in that LOL
Thanks for the valuable info, I will attempt that as soon as I get home.
I will give feedback as to how successful my attempt has been.

I have attempted the proposed solution and I got the following error:
failed (remote: signature verify fail)
I read that could have to do with the fact that my bootloader is locked again. I did run a while back fastbood oem lock.
oem unlock returns an error.
So I attempted with the htcdev unlock code.bin again and unlocked it.
I ran the boot.img as instructed again and this time it was a success although it gave me a scare with the 4 reboots it performed
Thanks for the help, the tip from dr.patron99 was very helpful.

S-OFF Problem

Hi all.
i apologise if something similar has been posted, I can see nothing that matches my situation thus far.
I used to have a DHD which was S-OFF, sim unlocked, rooted and so on which I passed on to a relative when I upgraded, and went with samsung suff for a while.
Now I'm back on a Desire HD I bought from eBay, which works fine, its unlocked, and so on.
But I want to go to an older revision of android, or a custom one for performance reasons, because as it stands, the stock rom on it is useless.
I have CWM Touch recovery installed, and I have an unlocked bootloader, but no matter what I try I cannot S-OFF the phone.
I have tried installing custom roms which go nowhere, because from what I can gather, S-ON wont let it boot.
The phone was originally locked to Orange, and is branded with thier logo etc.

Is it possibe to S-OFF this phone or am I stuck with it this way?
I've tried ACE Hack Tools, but it didnt really get very far. I tells me to download PD98IMG-GB2 which I did (once I managed to find it) and tried to flash it, which also went nowhere. Nothing works, that I know of at the minute anyway.
Anyone know anything else to try or what I'm missing?
Thanks.

U need to connect device to PC and issue a cmd prompt "adb reboot bootloader". Then in bootloader ,type fastboot getvar all..and post its results
WE need these details so we can properly assist you.

If you want to S-OFF your device you should read this guide very carefully.
In the first step it's telling you to take a backup your kernel (boot.img) using dd command from root shell if you want to make the current rom working again after the s-off process.You could also make a nandroid backup from your recovery instead.
Then you have to make a goldcard in order to flash an RUU without a signature verification.If you want to downgrade your firmware you should downgrade your misc version to a lower value from the version of the RUU you are going to use to downgrade.You have also to flash an unsecured kernel (for example the boot.img that's included in ace-tools folder) and the revolutionary recovery (included in ace tools) in order to make the process correctly.
After that you can flash the firmware.zip cooperative with the radio exploit to be able to s-off your device with g-free.(In order to be able to flash the zip you have to relock your bootloader)
After this process has been made correctly you should be able to see S-OFF in your bootloader and you can restore kernel and recovery or a nandroid backup to make your device working again.You can also use an RUU.But definitly you have to upgrade your firmware after the process.

At first you have not to make a boot.img.
Secondly with dd command you can copy a hole disk or partitions either sectors in raw mode.The only think that the S-OFF guide describes you do with it is to backup your original kernel by backing up your hole boot partition in order to make you rom working again (after the S-OFF proccess).
The guide for S-OFF I gave you describes exactly how to make a goldcard using a root shell.You have not to do something special but to follow this guide.
A little more specificly:
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
This command gives you the goldcard number of your phone.
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c {sd card cid above} -o /data/local /tmp/goldcard.img
This command creates a goldcard token with your goldcard number.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/goldcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1
And this command writes the goldcard.img (token) we created on your sdcard in raw mode.(By making your sdcard gold you could flash anything.It could also break your device if you don't know what are you flashing)

means I should stay away, as I AM novice user. If any thing goes wrong i will be in deep trouble.

I just explaned you what you are going to do with those proccesses like you asked me.If you don't understand or you don't feel free to make the proccess you shouldn't try it at all.As long as you follow the right instractions and you apply them correctly you have nothing to be afraid.(You have to remember that any time something could go wrong even if it is not your fault like some power failure).
But personally I think the only risky part is to make the proccess of radio downgrade right.After that it should be a piece of cake to make the S-OFF trick.

Aahk 2. Here on xda

Yes, the AAHK2 does not work for me, hence starting this thread. However, I solved my issue. The trick to it is not S-OFF at all, it merely requires an unlocked bootloader. Is probably slightly more hassle than S-OFF, but I don't care, it works. All you need to do is extract the "boot.img" from the ROM you want. Place it in your ADB folder.
Install the ROM via recovery and then reboot to the bootloader (you can do this via adb but for my sakes I removed the battery and used vol- & power to boot into it.
Then you flash the boot.img using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then "fastboot reboot" and it should work fine, I managed to load up cyanogen mod not a problem this way. Whereas before, installing a rom would not work whatsoever.

You don't need to S-OFF if all you want to do is flash a custom ROM. You do need an unlocked bootloader, and a recovery installed.
Assuming both of those are the case, do the following: On your computer, download the custom rom you want and and open it (it should be a .zip file) in any file archive utility and find its "boot.img" and extract it. If you can't find it manually, search for it, winrar allows you to do this. Place it in the same folder as your adb and fastboot tools for instance mine is C:\adb
Copy the custom ROM.zip file to your phones SD card, and install it normally via the recovery. Once this is done, reboot the device into the bootloader. I do this by just taking the battery out quickly and putting it back in, and then holding Vol Down & Power. when the boot loader shows, highlight the "fastboot" option and press the power button, then connect it to your computer via usb. Then on your computer, (i assume windows), press the windows flag key and the R at the same time, this brings up the Run prompt. Type CMD in it to open the command promt. then navigate to yoru adb folder using the "CD" command, for example:
CD C:\adb
once you have done that, type the following:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(remember I said to place the boot.img in the same folder as your fastboot/adb tools)
It should push the boot.img that you extracted earlier to the phone, its usually very quick. Once you've done this, type:
fastboot reboot
and then unplug your usb cable. The phone will take a while to start up, but it will work, regardless of S-ON or S-OFF. My phone is S-ON and I can flash ROM's using this method.

Thanks for This Great Help
I decided to give it a try, did all as you said but when I went to recovery mode there is nothing but Red Triangle and Disk Image.
Now what to do?

it sounds like you need to flash a recovery first of all. I have attached a recovery image you can use, its is TWRP; you need to flash this via the bootloader. copy the recovery.img to the same place as your adb folder, take the battery out of your phone and put it back in and hold Vol Down & Power, and then highlight the fastboot option and connect it to your computer. Then using CMD (Windows flag & R) go to your adb folder (cd:\adb) and type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
when this completes sucessfully, type "fastboot reboot recovery", which should take you straight there, then continue with the previous post instructions.

HTC M8 Stuck in Recovery Mode!!! Please help a noob

Hi there, A friend at work has given me his M8 which appears to be stuck in recovery mde t see if i can get it back to working or can do anything with it.
I have samsung phones myself and while i know how to flash a stck rom etc to these, reading on some of the threads here it seems alot more complicated process on the HTC....
I have not had any experiencewith HTC devices since the HD2 days (what a great phone) so really need someone to walk me through what software/firmware i need and where to find it and what to do with it?
At the moment, it turns on, then goes into the recovery menu, then I choose wipe data/cache, and restore factory etc, but it then just comes up with done, choose the reboot option to come back to the recovery mode again........
I think it is a stock uk/eu release of the M8, don't know what network it was on or whether it was rooted/unlocked before hand.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

In the recovery menu I believe there is reboot to bootloader option. Select that, then tell us what's written on the bootloader
Search on how to do fastboot getvar all then post the result without serial & imei no.
Then we'll see anything we can offer to help
