[Q] s-on fastboot only bootloop.. Bricked?

Hi, I have a desire that is stuck in bootloop, I can access fastboot and fastboot on my linux box can talk to it. ADB will show it as offline in recovery mode. how can I flash a new rom or get it out of the bootloop? S-on & hboot0.93.0001.
Any help would be great as I have been searchin this forum and trying everything!!
Thanks

Did you do a full wipe before flashing CM7? If not, try a full wipe and reflash CM7.
I'm using CM7 RC1 currently with no problems, did RC1 work for you rather than the nightlies?

How do I know which one is the right one? the desire was originally on orange. I think I have a working goldcard as I managed to use a stock generic ruu. however it now gives me a 170 error on the windows machine. is it possible to flash from linux using fastboot?
it was rooted but my cm recovery has gone but i can get into recovery. I may have accepted an ota update...

Right ok, so you applied an OTA to a rooted phone. Try downloading the 2.29.405.5 ruu from www.shipped-roms.com and run that with the goldcard in.

The Orange one is just an OTA.
What rom are you currently on?
I wouldn't try applying the orange ota after flashing the WWE RUU

not sure, i was on a froyo leedroid or something but after it went west I tried a few but only one worked not sure which one. it still bootlooped afterwards.. i am going to try the 2.29.405. Thanks

Keep getting 170 error with ruu? strange because if i type "fastboot devices" it shows my phone? any ideas?

Have you googled the error or do you have anymore info?
Phone should be in fastboot mode.
Try turning off any antivirus etc...
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

yep its the usb error which is strange, i can see the phone using fastboot, the phone shows in device manager as android bootloader interface. I have disabled antivirus and am about to hit it with a lump hammer..

Are u using win 7 .... try run as admin that .exe ..... or download RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release and try .... it must work

Try reinstalling htc sync if you have it installed. USB debugging enabled on the phone?

I was just going to try reinstalling htc sync.. Thanks for the help
usb debugging was on but not sure as its boot looping

result!! it has come back to life. reinstalling htc sync sorted the 170 error! ruu flashed successfully.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. was the one i had and caused the problem.

I am Desperate with this HTC Desire

Hello guys !
First of all i want to say that I've tried EVERYTHING around to resolve the issue, but it seems that nothing is working. So long story short :
My friend bought used HTC Desire since i own DHD and he liked it alot but didnt have the money to buy DHD ,so the day he got it he tried to root it , He said that it was sucessfully and he instaleld some custom rom and went to bed,when he woke up in the morning his Desire Display was flashing with the boot animation(the ROM one) over and over again.He treid to install other ROM and the effect was the same,stuck at animation repeating over and over again.So He called me,i got to his house and tried to solve the issue but i didnt have luck there ,so i got the phone with me at my home. I started digging where the problem was...i was sure it was the rom ,tried to install 5-6 oter roms - no luck . Tried to flash with RUU- no luck ,kept getting " The main version is older" error . So i kept digging and tried to install the RUU throught H-boot by making PB99IMG.zip file,got the same error.Tried to use the update.zip solution - still no luck.Tried to change the recovery from clockwork to any other recovery ,but didnt have luck since i cant access the android and i am getting errors if i try to archive the file to update.zip.
So i need some help if its possible,sorry for my english and if the info that i provided is not that good ask me whatever u like.
also in The H-boot menu it says :
BRAVO PVt4 Ship S-ON
H-Boot-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.14
from what i got by reading is that i cant s-off cuz of the bravo pvt4 ..

Did you wipe data after flashing?

Full wipe + wipe from the advanced menu !

Lol, read thru the OP and same thing going over and over in my head "Did you wipe? Did you wipe? Did you wipe?"
When you start out with "I've tried EVERYTHING", make sure you actually did try everything, because it's pretty obvious you didn't.

Did it also display flash bootanimation over and over again after Ruu?

You have to wipe BEFORE flashing, not after.
Some Roms store important parts on /data, which will be erased during the wipe.

This is true lol. If you install then wipe you prob won't be able to get further than the boot screen.

Take it your mate didn't take a nandroid back-up before trying to flash, so he could restore it in case any issues occurred? Have you done full wipe then tried flash ROM from recovery then? Does the ROM need an ext partition - will boot loop if one doesn't exist.
Depending on the HBOOT version, using alpharev or revolutionary will S-OFF PVT4s - but this isn't the solution to your current problem unless you're trying roms that need non-stock hboots, in which case try something that doesn't first. S-OFF via AlphaRev also best done with rooted stock ROM, some custom sense ROMs also seem to work (don't know about revolutionary as i took alpharev route) - but get custom ROM running first before thinking about doing anything else.

Just saw your post. Too bad it's too late. Anyways the situation was kinda funny: So the HTC kept booting untill the "rom logo" (You know the logo after the HTC one), tried to install other ROM's (Full wipe before ofcourse) and it didn't work ofcourse, so I kept digging and i saw some threats where people were saying that clockwordrecovery wasn't working with my version h-boot, ah and trying installing RUU didnt work too(also trying to install PB99IMG.zip from sdcard didnt work too) ,was always getting "The main version is older" error! So we flashed AlphaRev, and finally the phone was S-Offed, after this i got my DHD's sd card since it was a gold card and i put it into the Desire , i had a PB99IMG.zip file from the previous day on it! So i started the bootloader, it detected the PB99IMG.zip file and I didn't get the "Main Verison is older" error, it asked if the file should be updated and i pressed "yes" and the phone gone off...guess what it was compleatly bricked,only vibrating and the screen didn't work....we were like OMG WTF ...so we installed SDK tools and started looking for adb commands/guides ...after 4 hours we were on about to quit and suicide ourselves cuz we didnt get anything and it was getting late...i was like " duh,lets blind try the PB99IMG.zip method again and rest till tomorrow" ,i downloaded the newest PB99IMG.zip from shipped-roms.com ,got it on my sd card and got the sd card back in the desire . Pressed Power + vol down,waited 2 mins and pressed vol up again,waited like 10 more mins,nothing happaned...we got all emo and mad ,2 more friends of us came to my mate's flat ( they are not into phones or anything ,complete noobs),one of them got the phone took of the baterry and the sdcard ,put the baterry back,pressed Power ON button and the phone ****ing started ....we all were like WOOOOOOOOT OMG OMG ,it was like magic xD ...so its fixed now and it has the stock rom and its unrooted...

[Q]Need help-Stuck on Boot screen-Dont know which rom I have or what's been flashed

Hi, I recently got a used Evo but its stuck on the boot screen. I have no idea what has been done to the device and was wondering if someone would be able to help me. I have found a few guides as I want to flash it back to stock but again, am not sure which guide to follow as I dont know what I have. I am able to boot into recovery (It has team win recovery project v2.0.0) and below is the info that comes up when I hold the power and volume down key:
Revolutionary
Supersonic EVT3 Ship S-OFF
HBOOT-6. 16. 1002
Microp-041f
Touch Panel-ATMELC03_16ac
Radio-2.15.00.0808
Mar 8 2011, 17:02:15
HBOOT
I would appreciate any help even if its a simple post that says "This has been already answered a million times, follow the guide in my sig"
Thanks for any help!

Not sure of a way to tell which ROM your phone is on from recovery. Your best bet would be to install a ROM on the root of the SD card, wipe Dalvik and cache, along with a factory reset, then flash the new ROM. Or just try wiping Dalvik and cache from recovery, then rebooting your phone to see if it boots properly.

Thanks for the reply. I did try wiping the cache and factory reset but it still hangs on the boot screen. When I checked the stock roms, there were like 3 different ones . odex, deodexed , and non rooted. Would you happen to know what the safest of these is to flash without knowing what's on there? I just dont know if I flash the incorrect one if that would give me an unrecoverable error. I could just guess but figured someone out there would know pretty easily.

You can run either odexed or deodexed ROM's.

Thanks for the quick answer. Im gonna download both versions and hopefully get my phone up and running.

Thanks Fin for all your help. I was going to download the stock rom's but decided to just flash nitrous as it was one of the first I came across. But the phone is all up and running now! Thanks again Fin!

Quite welcome. Glad you got it up and running.

I didn't think about this when I originally replied, but, for future reference, some recoveries have an option to view the current ROM version. I'm running a Smelkus recovery that has an option to get the current ROM version under 'Other' from the main menu. Excellent recovery, I might add. It's based on Amon Ra.

Confusing problem..

Hey guys,
I've currently got a HTC One X that is stuck in the bootloader. I have got Clockworks Flash Recovery 5.8.4.0 installed but haven't got any rom working. I was using Cyanogenmod until my screen started flickering and eventually it was unbearable so I tried to upgrade it. The newer version didn't support the older hboot (1.12) and therefore the update failed. I tried installing other roms from the forum but had no luck with any of them.
The steps i've been taking are basically flash the boot.img, wipe data/factory reset, install the zip, wipe the data/factory reset and dalvik cache and then reboot the phone but after all of these steps I end up stuck with a bootscreen of the rom i'm trying to install. I have followed tutorials word by word and I am still stuck on the bootloader. I'm really in a dead end here as I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to HTC, any help would be appreciated as all I want is my phone to be working!
Not sure if it's useful but..
S-ON
HBOOT-1.12.0000

and the CID is H3G_001
Thanks,

If you make a factory reset after installing the custom rom in the recovery you actually wiped it again. Only perform a full wipe before the rom. Don't wipe anything after ......
Ow and you can't install any sense based JB roms. You need to update the hboot first

..
Thanks for the fast reply,
I've looked all over the forum and they all seem to be JB with Sense of some sort? Hate to be lazy but i've tried searching and can't find anything that would be compatible, would you be able to link me a rom that should work as i've got no clue.
Thanks,
Luke

Why don't you update the hboot and flash anything you like
This is a very useful thread for you

It has everything you need to update the hboot :thumbup:

Will take a look and let you know how I get off, Thank you!

Problem is fixed after a whole day of trying. Got there in the end with a little assistance.

Getting a Buzz: Wildfire back to stock?

Hi guys,
not long ago I've rooted a Wildfire which is a friend of mine's old phone. Now he wants to get it back to stock but I'm facing some issues...
I've tried with RUU and it fails and said it wants to start to recover. When I unplug the USB it reads "Failed" in something which looks like the HBOOT and the battery must be removed to reboot - and it boots normally (no need to recover anything).
Tried also with a Safe to flash ROM from the CWM recovery and it returns something about the script being outdated and a new one should be used...
Could someone, please, tell me what i'm doing wrong? I've first did factory reset from the phone, then I've done a factory reset (wipe data) from the CWM. Tried fixing permissions... still - I can't ;(

I've done it a bit earlier - the phone is (and was) HBOOT 1.02.0000. CWM Recovery 4.0.1.x
Had to apply update.zip with CWM Recovery 2.5 from which I was able to flash the stock unbranded WWE 2.22.405 ROM after wiping system, data and cache Then i've used the locale switch app from the store (com.aokabi.android.localeswitch-2-0.9.1.apk) - just in case
