Brick or bootloop? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I don't know what happened to my Desire Z, it was freeze while installing sth from Play, I restart it and saw only red triangle with exclamation mark.
I run it into hboot, choose every options one by one, and it tries to update. it was succesful, but now phone is freeze on HTC logo at booting.
I can enter to hboot, but cannot upgrade ROM, i tried several files called PC10IMG.zip downloaded from internet, but no one help.
I dl Android SDK, HTC Sync, and adb is working, but no attached devices. But in my Device manager it shows one connected unknown device called Android 1.0
I still can open hboot, Is there any chances to repair it somehow?
I add photo of hboot...
i47.tinypic.com/nvxht3.jpg
edit: i got into "fastboot usb" and it installed in my windows, so now there isnot Android 1.0 but "My HTC"
edit: I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915 and it can communicate with my Desire, but also warning me, that: "This device does not have s-off nor eng hboot."

ok, i dl RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed.exe
I run phone in hboot, go to fastboot usb, Ruu started to upgrade and wants to restart phone and bootloader - when I allow, it dies on HTC logo, and RUU says that there is error in USB connection.
when I allow to reset and go to hboot again, massage is this same.
So it's is alive, but how bring it back to normal?

1) Are you rooted? Which method did you use to obtain root?
No, It's not rooted
2) Can you access either bootloader mode or recovery on your phone?
Yes, I can
3) Write down everything you can on this screen, including *SYSTEM INFO*
if you have it and the output from *IMAGE CRC*

[Q] Can't fastboot after RUU Update, Bootloader - Bypassed

After a Update failure my Desire isn’t feeling to good...
I was running oxygen-2.1.6 on my Desire but decided to go back to stock. BAD choice!
Now when power on I get the black htc screen with the triangles in the corners. When I try volume down + power on I get the same black screen.
If I start the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe again to do the same update I get ERROR [152]:IMAGE UPDATE ERROR with the option to Recover which gives me a black screen until I pull the USB connection. Then I get a fastboot lock a like screen.

Everything is fine except you can't RUU over the hboot you have as /system is too small for the Rom.
You need bravo stock. You need to either fastboot flash the downgrader from alpharev and run the RUUagain or fast boot flash a recovery img and restore a nandroid backup
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yep downgrade the hboot first from AlphaRev website then continue.
Swyped...
Ok no!! Do not flash the downgrader just yet!! Flash the stock alpharev hboot but not the downgrader, otherwise that will put you s-on when you flash the RUU and if something goes wrong you wont have s-off to help. So as I said just flash the stock hboot, restart and then try the RUU again. Sorry it feels like I'm hanging my ass over the ragged edge when I'm S-ON

Sounds great but how do I do that?
My phone is as I said not responding to vol. down + power for the bootloader or the back + power for fastboot. Black htc screen with the triangles in the corners on both cases. I can’t flash anything from my phone (that I know off) since I can’t get to the fastboot or the bootloader. How do I use the .img file from alpharev.nl? I don’t know how to run the PB99IMG from my phone as it is now.
I’ve tried to run the alpharev cd again but with no luck.
“Waiting for your device… hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port [number of the USB port]”
My computer recons the phone, or at least that it’s an Android 1.0 device, when I’m in windows (both win 7 and XP) so can I do anything from there?
try download Android flasher 1.8 in dev.section
after that try to flash CWM recovery 3.0.0.5 and alsom try to flash stock Hboot
all these steps via android flasher can be done
edit - you can run alpharev but only with stock rom and hboot
in other way rooted phone with custom rom wont work with alpharev, there is also recommendation on the site about stock rom in case to use alpharev boot cd
I had the same problem today and I flashed the stock hboot with android flasher 1.8 and it worked. Thanks AssassinSvK.
This did the trick! Thank you =)
I have a problem with fastboot, I can`t acces it when I hold down the volume button and the power button nothing happens rom starts normally and everything works fine except the fastboot. What caused this problem? I flashed new rom and new radio, maybe something went wrong

You cannot run ruu because the hboot version you use is protected against overwriting by ruu or ota. You have to flash bravo downgrader first.

Hey
So I have tried to run the Ruu to go back to stock (from windows). However, I am getting errors that saying it can not varify signature and other error messages that I googled which say that I am actually downgrading the software..
I took the phone to a store and they tried the "goldSD" or something, before it was downgraded... I wonder if I should take it back and get them to try again? Other than that, what are the options if ruu wont load??
Freaking out that I may need to buy a new phone..
Now i have got this problem on my legend any suggestions?
nevermind...

If you're still interested, from what I've read you need to make a GoldCard and then run the RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632

[Q] RUU Update failed, no I can't connect using Fastboot

I was trying to unroot my device by installing the appropriate RUU from shipped-roms.com I started the RUU and it started formatting and installing the radio and boot manager, but it failed while installing the system.
Now all what I get is a black screen with "!" mark on the 4 corners of the screen and the HTC logo in the middle.
I tried using fastboot but it didn't work, since I can't get in fastboot mode.
And ideas?
I have the s-off and I'm using alpharev sense layout.
I want somehow to connect from my PC to my desire, and install the stock layout then run the downgrader. However when I try pressing power button + volume key it doesn't work and I can't get into fastboot.
Why can't you get into fastboot mode? Try this: Boot into hboot mode and then press power button. Now your phone should be in fastboot mode.
Your are still S-OFF. So you have to flash the bravo_downgrader from AlphaRev and then run RUU again.
EDIT: You can get directly into fastboot by holding back and power button.
When I press power button + volume I get the htc black page with the ! marks around corner. I tried using Fastboot commander and I got an error that it didn't detect any attached devices, and revolutionary doesn't work either.
You have to press and hold first volume down and then power button.
What about first back and then power button?
OK, I have red your tutorial and I managed to connect from Windows using fastboot to my device, I have installed hboot image "stock" but when I tried to flash the downgrader I got an error.

So you are S-ON. That's why you cannot use fastboot any more.
Which RUU did you try? 2.3.3? If not, download it here and try again:

And please stop testing things ou without any advise. This makes it very hard to solve a problem.

[Q] HTC desire Z stuck in booting after downgrade attempt

Hello,
I have a phone that is now stuck at white screen with green htc logo after an attempt to downgrade following this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
However i had already downloaded a PC10IMG.zip with this tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521019
I first tried using the tool, but it always failed. It seemed to me the script failed on getting temproot. (I then manually downloaded the PC10IMG.zip in the .bat file just incase it was a problem with the wget it uses or something)
After that i followed the guide instead and gained temproot, changed version and gaining supercid through the goldcard method.
I then tried downgrading using the manual method using the PC10IMG.zip mentioned above (Its alot smaller than the ones mentioned in the guide. I have a suspicion it is for another phone perhaps). Bootloader recognized it and started "upgrade" process as expected. After it worked with that for a while it rebooted and since then I have been stuck on the white/green splash screen on normal boots.
I can still get into Hboot, but I cant do anything there. Nothing seems to work there. Neither volume +/-, trackpad nor powerbutton does anything.
I can also get into fastboot. This seems to work better, but when i try to flash the image then it just gives me :
D:\platform>fastboot-windows flash zip StockRom.zip

I havent tried altering the contents of my SD card in fear of making things even worse.
Any tips/tricks/hint would be greatly appreciated!
Got some rather excellent help from #g2root to fix this today.
My main problem was that I had flashed the wrong img and that my Golden SD was not working correctly. Got that sorted out by using another SD and made it golden in another device.
Then proceeded to upgrade it to the newest g2 software (since that was what i had tried to do in the first place. Namely using the g2 img in a Desire Z device), downgrade it, rooted it and installed the necessary tools to get Andromadus running
Thanks to pierre_ja, skorgon, Uni_Ced and Catherall for the patience, moral support and excellent help! The amount of handholding from pierre_ja was astonishing
G2 img
Can i ask where you obtained the G2.img file, I am in a similar situation. Thanks

This is your problem, adb can't see your phone. Was it up and running when you tried this ? If so it's your adb setup. Have you used adb before on this phone ? See my signature for a link to a guide to setting up adb.

For the G2 there is a new program called mr. root, wich makes everything a bit easier, but you still need an computer to do it. So that's correct indeed.
From memory that 99 error means you used htcdev.
You can find more info on that here

The cmd's seem to be working from the cmd prompt. for example the phone did go into boot loader.
The phone is in a state where it will not boot up. Fails on the htc logo.
However boot loader is not functioning, every time it directs me to clock work orange mod screen. Which does not function either
Same problem!!
Hi, im really new here, and i googled the 'symptoms' of my broken HTC desire Z and this thread came up. My phone is showing exactly the same writting as what you described, but i really really dont know why. i dont know what all these technical terms mean/do but i REALLY miss my phone and want it to work again!! I would really really REALLY appreciate any help anyone could offer me, because the warranty is up so i cant send it back!
Thank you so much!
So to get this straight, you've tried to root your phone and it went wrong. If so, can you still get into your recovery?
-Turn off phone, hold down the power and volume up button. Then ou should get your bootloader. Once that's loaded slelect recovery with your volume buttons and confirm (press "enter") by pressing your powerbutton. Then your phone should restart in recovery. If you haven't changed your recovery image, you should be able to get the stock ROM running again.-

[Q] No boot

My dad got a HTC Incredible from ebay and it will not boot. It is stuck in bootloop if I try to just boot it normally. I can get into HBoot, S-on. HBoot version is 1.02.000. Recovery does not work from here. It just goes into bootloop. I've tried flashing various images with hboot as well as using RUU. RUU always gives me a error of 140.
Anyone have any idea of what I need to do?

You need to unlock the bootloader with the htcdev site unless its already unlocked, and then fastboot flash cwm recovery img.
When I go to the HTCdev site and select the phone then "Begin Unlock Bootloader" nothing happens. I'm assuming it will download an exe or something?
I am able to get the token for the phone through fastboot but I can't seem to get the site to progress past the main screen.
Edit - For some reason Chrome would not work on the site. I had to move to IE to get the process to work.
I was able to flash clockwork recovery but now when I choose to boot into recovery I just see the white HTC Incredible screen.

Hmm so your unlocked now and can use extended fastboot commands, that may come in handy. What android version and radio version is the phone on?
This is what I can see in HBoot.

Crap your right. Ok there is another way here is where fastboot comes in handy.
Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/mtd0.img, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe, the same place you put the unlock_code.bin file. Boot to hboot with the phone connected to the pc, and open a command promt to where the files are. Then type without quotes "fastboot flash misc mtd0.img".

Damn. I was trying to get you s-off but im not sure how to do it in your situation other than adb and flashing the misc partition. We have pretty much run out of options. Ruu dosent work, cwm dosent work, you vant flash misc, Let me think some more and i will get back to you.

Ok try this download this http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip, rename it update.zip and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Then open a cmd prompt and type without quotes "fastboot update update.zip". If it works, see if you can boot.
Really weird error from fastboot.

That is weird, never seen anything like that before. It seems nothing is working to get the phone going, mabey it has some sort of hardware failure.

[Q] My HTC Desire showing S-OFF But I Can't Access Through CMD prompt

Hi,
I've just bought a HTC Desire handset and I tried to Root it. From two days I am trying to do it but not succeeded.
Yesterday I used unRevoked 3.32 but in the end of whole procedure it gave me following error message:
"Error : failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?"
After that I tried to install ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.7 to take backup but when I am connecting my mobile in HBOOT mode my PC is detecting the device but I cant access the device through cmd prompt (e.g: adb shell or adb devices) it is showing : "error device not found"
Following are my mobile specs:

I Know I am bothering you but you don't know how much I am grateful to you.
make sure the PB99IMG is not in any folder on ur sdcard and try again.
also if u do it fastboot method, extract the PB99IMG.zip file so ur left with the 2 files (android-info.txt and recovery.img) put just the recovery.img in ur c:\ drive then
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img

I was reading other posts and I downloaded revolutionary software, it was installed sucessfully on my device.
In the recovery menu I selected backup/restore option from the list, after selection only "REVOLUTIONARY" is appearing on the screen from past 5 minutes.
Kindly tell, is this normal (if yes) then how much time it will take, (if not) then what should I do. Can I interrupt the process by pressing any key(which i don't know) . Does it make any problem if i reboot my mobile during this procedure.
Kindly tell I am really scared.
dear , I did something wrongly,
after i got s-off i can see only HTC logo when its on, even if i wanna open recovery mod still the same,
If i try to flash in CMD Its says <Failed : Remote not Allowed >
