[Q] bricked my evo :( what to do?

Hey,
I was on Android 2.2 when I decided to use Rom Update Utility (RUU): RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed
Bootloader doesn't do anything and I can't get into recovery.
HBOOT - 0.79.0000
Radio - 1.39.00.05.31
when I do adb devices nothing shows up. not really sure what to do.
Please help,
Leo

Don't be a ****. True he probably should have posted how he fixed it but he didn't and that's no excuse for being a ****.

SOLUTION?
Just a hunch:
OP initially tried to run the 1.32 RUU, but is not compatible with devices running Android 2.2.
Prob just had to run correct RUU - 3.26

I can't ruu my desire.

I have a rooted desire with a 0.93 hboot a custom rom (defrost 6.0), he was a 2.1 stock and i have upgradeed it to 2.2. And i want to go back to my stock desire. I tried numberless ruus, they all stop when they at sending, updating signature, and the phone says "Error 140: Bootloader version eror". What is going on?If someone can help i'll be really greatfull.

Well i wanted to downgrade to 0.80 but i need a goldcard, and i tried with 3 different sdcard, none worked.

Unbelievable, EddyOS had resolved my problem even without replying. I have tried a final ruu the one that EddyOS has on his desire. And hell happened. It worked. Thanks Eddy, Thanks.

Bonus!!
Glad to hear it!!

[Q] Flashing H-BOOTS

So i flashed the Desire Z H-BOOT on my T-Mobile G2 so I can use sense UI (specifically sense 4.0). Th radio is outdated on the H-BOOT I used and wanted to upgrade. I don't know if this would be a noob question, but can I just flash the regular radio that the G2 gets in the OTA (26.13.04.19_M) or is there a specific radio for the Desire Z so I can use that? I had a problem where I can only hear calls when a headset is plugged in or speaker is turned on. I think its the radio but i searched everywhere and can't find a solution to my problem...
Thanks in advance!

There is a radio thread in the developement forum with all the files and instructions you need, follow them closely. You can flash whichever radio you want in that thread and I don't think there is a clear way to tell which is "best" unless you know someone in your area that has tested the different radios, it depends on your location, carrier, distance from tower, etc. Some give more siganl but drain battery faster, some are battery meisters but siganal is not so good. Try a few and see what works best for you, just remember to follow the instructions carefully.

hey man thanks for the reply.
i dont know if there are specific radios for the desire z cuz i have the desire z hboot. the radio i flashed is the same one i had when i had the g2 hboot. you think that their might be a radio specifically for the desire z or is the hboot outdated?? ill have to look into that.
thanks again for the reply!

No, there are no specific radios just for the desire z. I have the eng hboot 0.84.2000 for the desire z installed, my phone is through Bell Canada but I actually get better reception/battery with a T-Mobile radio, don't remember which one at the moment(been a few months sinse I flashed it). Not sure but I think that is the only eng hboot available, maybe someone who knows for sure will chime in....

Alright thanks bud! I guess my proble might be with the actual hboot. I'll see if I can find an updated version. You know any xda posts where I can find all of the desire z hboots??

No expert on this, but I don't think an outdated Hboot would cause your earpiece issue. I've never changed from the stock Desire Z Hboot on my phone (purchased Dec 2010) and never had any such issues over multiple ROMs.
Its not clear from your OP, did you flash a new ROM yet, or what ROM are you on? Did you wipe data, cache, and Dalvik before flashing the new ROM?

Agree with Redpoint73,earpiece issue is ROM or hardware,I assume you also wiped the EFS data ? Good practise but not sure will help your problem, no need to "update" your hboot, nothing to be gained.
Wipe your cache and see if that helps,if not try a different ROM ILWT CM 7 is a good effort

I know it isnt a hardware problem because ive never dropped my phone into any liquids, nor have i dropped it from a large height. I was running the ICS JIBwich rom thats sense 4.0. Thats when I noticed the problem. I then restored one of my backups (the instructions from virtuousrom.com told me to) and i still had the problem. Im on CM9 beta and still have the problem.
Im pretty sure its a software issue because i saw some other people have the same problem when migrating to the desire z hboot from the g2 one.
i think im just gonna go back the g2 hboot and then try again with the desire z hboot another time. I just want a stable ICS rom wether its sense or not lol. the sense rom was very stable up to the point where i noticed the earpiece problem.
Thanks for the reply though!
EDIT APRIL 25,2012: So i went back to the G2 HBOOT and still have the issue. It can't be a hardware problem because it happened right after I installed the Desire Z HBOOT. Right now im using the G2 Slim v1.6 ROM and i still have the issue. I saw somewhere that someone was running android 2.2 and when updated the problem was fixed, but I want to keep my rooted phone.
Anyway, thanks for your help and Ill keep searching for a solution to my problem.

[HELP] Problems with Desire after recovery

Hi guys,
I´ve got a stock Desire with Android 2.2.2. (OTA update some two years ago). Some days ago I noticed my camera was not working nor did the flashlight app. After turning off and on the device a couple of times the flashlight started working again but not the camera. Trying to fix what I thought might be a software problem I went into Hboot menu and into recovery and selected reboot. Nothing seemed to have changed until i noticed my battery was only lasting for 4 or 5 hours when it used to last at least 1,5 days. Also, I just noticed my 3G mobile network connection is not working either.
How may I correct this? I've already tried a factory reset but without success. I was just looking at an youtube video from a XDA member about flashing RUU's and thought that it might do it. Is there a difference between flashing a RUU and a factory reset? I'm not very confortable doing it as I've never rooted or flashed any device, but I'm willing to take the chance...
Thanks for your support...

Flashing a ruu is basically reinstalling the stock firmware. Factory resetting is just wiping the data on the phone.
If you want to flash a ruu, check my sig. Download the 2.3 ruu. Don't change the zip name. Take the zip and put it on the root of your sd-card, and boot in hboot. Then select "yes" and wait.
This will upgrade your firmware to Android 2.3.3, which is faster than froyo, but it will wipe all your internal data.

merante ridicule
Thank you for your reply.
Now it´s clearer to me. Factory reset doesn't correct any system issues.
I already found the RUU i currently have on my phone, but maybe I could upgrade to 2.3. Does the RUU in your sig work for my Desire?
My data are:
Andriod version: 2.2.2.
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gfa401c
Software number: 2.29.405.14
Just a small update concerning the battery issue: it seems to be the battery itself which is the problem. I installed a new one last night and now battery behaviour is back to normal. I will try the old one again though, in order to be sure it's gone.

The ruu in my sig works for your desire. It actually works for almost every Bravo on the market.

Thank you once again.
I just managed to correct my 3G problem also. I didn't restore the network definitions after the factory reset (didn't know I had to or how it is done ), but after a quick call to tech support it is fixed.
Now I will probably give the RUU update a try and also root and s-off (must resaerch a little more - XDA forum has tones of good info :good...

In my sig, there's a Desire All Root guide. Check it out.

Hi, some developments and more help needed
Followed the guides above and now my Desire is rooted, s-offed using revolutionary and 4ext recovery is installed and I've partitioned my new 32 GB sdcard with 2GB ext4. Sadly, I've not updated to android 2.3.3 with the PB99IMG RUU, so I'm still with the 2.2.2.
But, even after sd partition, my available internal memory has not increased. What do I have to do to install all new apps on the sd?
If I update now for 2.3.3. using PB99IMG will I lose root and s-off? If I have to flash a new rom, which do you suggest? I'm used to the stock htc sense and don't really want to upgrade unless I have to.
I would really appreciate any suggestions...
Tks.

Don't use the RUU. You will lose root and s-off. Just install a custom rom, and your storage will increase.

Could you please suggest a stable rom based on gingerbread with htc sense (early versions prefered) and also point out a detailed noob friendly tutoorial for flashing roms? I must do some more research but if you could point me out in the right direction it would be very useful
Sorry to be such a pain in the a**, but I'm just getting started in the rom world and not very tech inclined also...

[Q] Camera not working anymore, also not on stock ROM

I have a strange problem with my Desire. Till a few moments ago, I was on Oxy ZM and everything works fine. Then I got my One X and I didn't use my Desire anymore. After a while I decided to give my Desire to my girlfriend.
Because of the good experiences I read here I flashed Chromium ROM. I didn't like it that much so I tried MildWild V-4.9 JG. Then I found out that my camera isn't working anymore, I get a dark screen. I flashed different ROMS, inclusing stock (for which I changed the Hboot to stock) but the problem was still there. Eash time I did a full wipe before I installed a new ROM.
Finaly I flashed Oxy ZM back, but unfortunately I still couldn't use the camera. Does anyone knows what went wrong?

Probably hardware issue. Come cable got disconnected or cracked. You should open up your phone and see.

install latest radio version
make ext partition on memorycard
install ext4 touch recovery
boot in ext4 touch recover and do the following: wipe data/cache/dalvik and format system
install Supernova ROM

Changing radio will not solve anything.
You could try flashing the 2.3 RUU, if you haven't done it already.

Well, what matters is that you flashed a RUU. If that didn't solve the problem, then you most certainly have a hardware problem. Get your phone checked out.

I downloaded RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread), and installed it. Still the same problem, no camera. So yes I will check my phone for hardware defects.
Thanks!

Motherboard dying. I had the same on stock Desire. First my camera stopped working, after few weeks it wouln't charge as it should, then started to reboot... Changed motherboard under warranty and all was well

Ai, that didn't sound nice... My LED also don't work anymore. Is this also a symptom of a dying motherboard?
