Problem when i tryed "one click to root" (black screen with HTC Desire and "/!\")
Hello,
I tryed to root my phone using "unrevoked".
I installed HTC Sync to have the drivers, and then, i removed it.
Unrevoked asked me to connect my phone to the PC. I did it. It printed a "warning window" (as often), and i pressed ok.
It rebooted my phone on fastboot mode, and the window on my PC says "Waiting for bootloader mode".
This was not written on the tuto that i was looking for, and then, i tryed to reboot on recovery, to reboot the phone normally.
Now, it dosen't want to boot, and print a black screen with a HTC Desire and "/!\" this red sign.
Any help please ? :/

you have only the normal drivers installed in the unrevoked pack you download is a link for the bootloader driver

Thanks for the link but there is no the same situation as mine. :/
It says that we have to boot in hboot mode, but i tryed to boot on recovery after this step to reboot my phone "normally". And now i have this black screen with a picture of HTC Desire and "/!\", and i don't know what to do now. :/
What happens if you hold volume down and press power button you do this from Fastboot not recovery
When I press volume down and power at the same time on this "black screen with HTC Desire picture and /!\", nothing happens.
What happens if i remove the battery ? Brick ?
Press volume up and power. What happens then?

The phone has to be switched off to get into fast boot menu you won't get the menu if the phone is switched on
That screen is the one you get before you actually enter recovery by pressing vol up and power at the same time. Can you show us a picture of the screen? It's ok if you cant

If the power button doesn't do it yes
As long as you can get into fastboot menu you can root the phone with unrevoked
But do it properly!
Install drivers from here
unrEVOked modified USB driver
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
After installing driver
In Device Manager
make sure Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone. (Drivers installed on PC)
Fastboot phone ( Volume down then power button)
Select Hboot menu
Connect Phone to PC confirm phone says "HBOOT USB PLUG"
Run Unrevoked as admin phone rooted
Then if you have a backup restore that or install new rom as recovery should now be working
Ok thanks, i'll try.
I'll remove the battery because it don't turn off with power button.
When i'll try to boot, have I to root in now, or can i boot in "normal mode", and try to root it tomorrow ?
Thanks for your help.

well you are holding the phone power it on and see what happens you may just have screwed up recovery and it will work ok
Ok thanks for everything !
I come back tomorrow if I have any new problem ! ^^'
I try to power off my HTC, and after i press and hold the top "power" button for seconds, then I choose power off, screen goes black. but it's not actually being powered off, coz once I try to go into bootloader mode (VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON), I can never go inside, but it goes straight into the normal Android system, and also it only needs one second to go into the normal system again, so I think the phone is not really powered off, but in some kind of sleeping mode. Anyone here can help me out?? Thanks very much.
P.S. i have flashed a new ROM (REVOLUTION 5.1.7), and also i have tried to reset to factory mode. but it does not help.
Do you have fastboot on in settings? It prevents the phone from turning off completely and thus giving a faster startup. That's probably why you can't get to the bootloader mode. You can also take out the battery for a couple of minutes, put it back and then boot into the bootloader.

Thanks, maybe that's the problem.
Sorry to sound like an arse here, but the quick boot setting was one of this phones most hyped features when it was released....oh my!

I don't get your point? It's not like you need to boot into bootloader several times a day. The few times you need to you can just turn off the fastboot option and then turn it back on when your done. The bootloader mode isn't even meant to be used by the average user.

Got the same PB with the same rom but version 5.1.4,
The only way I found is to install ROM MANAGER and launch recovery with it.
Concerning bootloader, battery removing !
really anoying, and yes, fast boot is disabled.
Hello Guys....
i have a really bad situation and i think it might get worse, i got my phone few weeks ago and it was running 2.3.3 later i got the OTA update to 2.3.5
then i wanted to root and found that the best tool is AAHK i downloaded and ran it and it asked for downgrade since my version is 3.13.415 and i agreed.. at the end of the process where it should update and i should hit "power to restart" didn't come up, thought there was nothing working and the menu just was still, so i tried to restart it from the menu. so i got the htc logo and it just froze there i tried to restart over and over again, yet no luck and i noticed the s-on thing and googled alot and found that i should flash a stock rom to get it running so i went to site called shipped roms and got one and tried to install it, but the installer said the rom isn't compatible or somethin....and i remmebered getting one from another rooting guied so i tried flashing it and it worked, but it took about 15 minutes for the device to boot up and the first vibe took about 10 minutes to finish but eventually it worked and the version i got on the phone was 2.2 but without arabic language "something i want" but it was okay, now i was a bit curios about the AAHK menu so i started it and it just started working :$ :S that's something i didn't want to happen but i was scared to pull the cable and it restarted to the "black screen with htc logo" and the tool saying "INFOsignature checking"...
sooooo is there any ideas about what can and should i do, how can i make everything back to normal or anythin
please make it fast, i really can't wait any longer
------------------------update-----------------
After about 20 minutes of waiting i had no nerve left for waiting so now i took the usb cable and took the battery out and re installed it and hit power and while i'm writing the update it's viberating and it just stopped and waiting for the "quitly briliant" hope it works
it did (sorry if i nag to much and keep updating with every second)
now guys i really don't want to root or s-off or anythin... i just want to get my DHD fully up and ruunin
will the OTA update fix everything (the boot-up thing ?) and i want to get arabic language installed-how to do that
please help me
thx
hello guys...

i do want to help others and i just can't keep asking.. so i'm trying it my self and in the mean time i've hit update and the phone shut off and took it's time to start up, as usual and now i'm looking at the update screen(black background with update loge and progress bar) and now it just finished and the screen went fully black-waiting and it is taking its time-... i'll update as soon as i get anythin

Doing a software update on a rooted phone will only revert the ROM to stock one. Key is patience. There is NO WAY at all that AAHK would mess something up on its own. I know this for a fact since I have used it to root 8 other DHD's so far without any issues. If you are not sure how it works then read more. You probably pulled the usb out before AAHK finished proper the first time.

thx for ur reply
and about the AAHK actually it's not my thing in the mean time, now i just want my default DHD back (stock rom, arabic, normal boot-up)
as i said i was applying the update and now i'm stock at the updating screen (black background htc update logo with a phone under it)
i mentioned the progress bar before but it was (i think) about moving the update to the sd card
now after about hour or so i'm still stuck at the same update state, even when i removed the battery and restarted the phone i'm still back to the same screen with nothing more..... hope u can help me with anything that can make my phone boot-up again ( no matter what's the version-in the mean time-)

Looks to me like you bricked your phone. Remove the battery for a few minutes and put it back in. Do NOT turn the phone on but instead hold down Volume down + Power and see if you can boot into Hboot. It should lead you to a white screen with skateboarding androids. Post here everything it says there.

i'll try to get in there, but if i have a bricked phone... is there anyway to fix it(just give me a -yes/no- answer) for now.... i'll rebort as soon as i get into the hboot screen(hopefully)
btw i removed my sd card an out it in a card reader, and i couldn't access it, do u think it got anythin to do with it ??
If you are unable to enter hboot then sadly there is no return and your phone is gone. Hold down power + vol down for as long as it takes until it hopefully takes you into hboot.

mmmmmmmm, for the SD card i was able to get back in
and i tried to enter the hboot(but my finger slipet for split second) and i'll try againg
but on the other hand... don't u think that since i'm getting to the update screen that there might be a slice of hope for me ??

Not if its constantly stuck on the update screen without any progress. Do as I said, boot into hboot holding power + vol down keys until it boots. Write what it says there. If you can't get into hboot... Game over.

As I said before, if you can't boot into hboot then sorry but I don't know of any other solution. Maybe someone else can provide better explanation, but as far as I know, if you are constantly stuck on update screen and if you can't get into hboot at all then nothing else can be done.

i found something called hard reset -i'll give it a try- do u think that it might help ? (hope it does)
this is how i found it's done.....
1) Firstly you have to turn off your device and after that hold the volume + and volume – button together.
2) Continue pressing both the buttons and after sometime hold the power button for some time.
3) Once you have pressed the three buttons you will get the message about the change in the factory settings and also to keep a backup of the data.
4) After the message is displayed leave all the buttons then press the volume + button to start with the hard reset operation.
5) After doing this the reset operation will be carried out and all the data will be permanently removed.
do u have any info about it ???

The only option of Factory Reset I know of is through hboot. And if you cant boot there then I really can't help you.
Are you sure you did it properly? Turn the phone off, remove battery for a few minutes, put it back in. Then Press POWER + VOLUME DOWN and hold for about 10-15 seconds. That should take you into hboot and from there you can see if your phone is S-OFF and do a factory reset.
I think that you are to nervous now
just pull out the battery, put it back in..
hold VOL - (minus, down) and press the power for about 3-4 sec, than release only power button.
if that don't get you to white hboot screen than nicely take the phone to your dealer and ask for waranty.. tell them that it got stuck on OTA update
Thanx Lord.

the main problem that stopping me the most is the long time that the phone takes to boot up, i mean that if i try to start the phone it will take about 10 minutes to get to the update screen where it stops there
so holding them for 15 seconds is somethin that i think will do me no good result or actually no result at all ..... do u recommend pluging the usb in/out or anythin like that..... i know that i'm asking to much from you, but please bear with me and should i move the thread to another section in this case so i can get more help.....
please stick with me a little
really thx for your help
no use of plugging/unplugging the phone...
just do what I've posted above

There is no point in connecting usb or anything else to the phone. Do as both Lord and I have said and write down what it says in the hboot once you get in. Booting into hboot is not the same as normal boot. Don't try to act smarter then people that are trying to help you.
Edit: Don't move the thread.

This phone doesnt have any Volume +/- power button trick. It ONLY has the yellow reset button. Its a pain in the A*S!
Try a few things first.
1) When you hold down the yellow reset button, are you ONLY holding it down for a few seconds, and it vibrates ONCE?
Have you tried holding it down for 10 seconds, until it vibrates TWICE, indicating it has powered off completely, and THEN try connecting it?
2) If step 1 got your phone to power off completely try:
-Connecting your phone to your PC via USB with the volume DOWN button held and see if you get a GREEN L.E.D. If you do you have
successfully entered flash mode, in which case you can simply flash an FTF file with flashtool.
-Connecting your phone to your PC via USB with the volume UP button held and see if you get a BLUE L.E.D. If you do you have
successfully entered fastboot. From here, as long as you have ADB and your devices drivers installed on your computer, you can flash
a boot.img or "Kernel" with a fastboot command in a command window (fastboot flash boot boot.img). The easiest way to get a kernel or
boot.img with a baked in recovery is to download the latest Cyanogenmod, unzip and extract the boot.img, and flash it via fastboot.
Since you have an unlocked bootloader already, your device should be able to use an AOSP kernel.
From there you should be able to at least boot into recovery, and flash something from your SD card.
Id recommend just flashing the latest Cyanogenmod just to get your device up and running. From there you should be able to follow steps
get back to stock if thats what your looking for.
I hope at least one of these options work.
If not, like that last guy said, take it to a service center and get it checked out.
GOOOOD LUUUUCK!!

All ZL's are like that. Hold down till 1 vibration for reboot. Hold down till 3 vibrations for power off. The yellow reset button will not power on the device however. I figured I'd check just incase my power button decided to go for a sh*t.

Hi.
So, today I have met with start-up problem. During the normal using my phone, everything had been suspended, so I pulled out the batterry. And my phone hadn't been managed to start again. Only what I can see is the animation of evervol (I have had this kind of rom for about a year - old version of it :/ ). I tried booting by pressing dwn vol but, and power button in the same time...BUT... I know that I have the damaged vol button (only up vol but is working)... so it couldn't have worked anyway...
Do you have any ideas, how I can force on him to enter the boot menu or to start normally? From some kind of computer programme or what??
I really dont want to lose anythink from him... but if it will be necessary I would have no more objections against...
Press and hold back button + power and that will boot u into fastboot then u can get into recovery from there.
