[Q] Yep, I made it, fully bricked.

I have a really huge problem. I think my Desire bricked completely.
I don't really know if it was SLCD or a normal Desire, while unrooting due flashing PB99IMG.zip the phone turned black, stopped, done nothing and vibrated once.
Now it doesn't do anything anymore. When I plug it in and boot the phone, windows says 'Android 1.0' ... And nothing more.
Is there any solution out there or is it fully bricked?

Go for warranty.

Rubbish!
Read and follow this thread

In order to help you more you need to give a full account of what you were trying to do and how as well as relevant device info such as were you already rooted, did you try to s-off and anything else that maybe relevant.
Sent with Desire.

Wrong section!
Also as windows recognizer it, it's not bricked(probably wrong ruu and you are slcd bricked so it boots in fastboot, you just cant see it)
Just run the correct ruu through usb.
Also would you like to share which ruu you flashed?

I also don't know why people are running those pb99img.zip things for unrooting =.=

So, um, urm, I forgot to check for SLCD, I know.
I tried this one: RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe
I think this one was the wrong one.
After trying a lot out:
When I hit 'BACK'+'POWER' the windows device-manager says 'Android 1.0' - and then I have three options, I tried, with vol-down and hitting power.
1.) dunno
2.) reboot
3.) reboot to the bootloader
It is still black. I tried with the alpha-rev-pb99img - booting via VOL DOWN and POWER and hitting constantly POWER UP - it seems to do nothing.
fastboot doesn't respond, adb list also no devices...

That RUU is way too old. You should have ran the 2.29.405.5 one.

Android 1.0 is ADB driver, download Android SDK from here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This will also install ADB driver.

Nope it's the fastboot driver(not the same as adb)
To solve this just boot using vol-down and connect it to usb. Then run the newest ruu(would be 2.29.405 something) This should flash the newer bootloader with slcd support, and you are back up and running in no time.

Thanks for you help, but anyways, the phone isn't responding, normally.
It only says 'Android 1.0' - and nothing more.
ADB DEVICES doesn't list the phone and FASTBOOT DEVICES neither.

Have you tried using a card reader to put the correct 2.29.405.5 PB99IMG.zip on teh root of SD then boot to Hboot (Down+power)?

man in teh device manager on your computer the drivers of your phone are instaled??

Have you now downloaded the latest RUU as suggedyed?
Have you removed the previous PB99IMG.ZIP file from your SDCARD?
Have you gone in to HBOOT and then after some time -VOL once then POWER key to get the phone in to FASTBOOT then run the new RUU?
the thread that I linked you to advises on the very first post how to extract the ROM.ZIP file if you are unable to flash the RUU conventionally.

yep, alternatively I have a link to the PB99IMG.zip in my toolbox:
http://androidforums.com/desire-all...oads-root-users-updated-18th-june-2011-a.html

theoretically phone when you open or even see it , enter fastboot automatically ,you can revive it , is simply just have the drivers installed

happened to me and I could restore it to life , no panic

So now download this PB99IMG.ZIP from this link, copy to your sdcard and -vol + power button, holding both for about 6 seconds.
Once you have overcome this little learning curve........
1. Make your sdcard in to a GOLD CARD.
2. Go to www.unrevoked.com and follow the Desire how to Root.
3. Go to www.alpharev.nl and download the .iso to get S-OFF.
then you will ask be done within a matter of 30 minutes

Phone should be in charge only mode, and you have to have htc sync installed on your pc to have the correct drivers.

im still getting a bootloop it did accept the update but the phone stays on the htc incredible white screen
now when i go to the fastboot menu up on top highlighted in purple it says
*** LOCKED (OOW) ***

so i figured id try and root this phone
i got the bootloader unlocked no problem
i flashed the rcovery image as well but now when i'm in recovery and I try to mount the usb storage or sd card it says
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory)
or
Error mounting /sdcard!

Try this.
Boot into the bootloader and make sure it says FASTBOOT in the middle highlighted in red.
Open command prompt and type
“fastboot oem enableqxdm 0″ without the quotation marks of course. That should resolve the sd card not being mountable.
Then follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258 to get root and true s-off if desired. Just skip the parts you have already done.

yeah thats the tutorial i was following
by the way great write up really easy to understand
okay i will do that but in order to get s-off i need the phone to turn on?? Right??
So if i root and can get into cwm recovery and get the sd card to mount I should be able to flash a rom correct???

that is not working i'm in fastboot mode
but it says fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

Do you have fastboot.exe installed on your pc, if so after opening the cmd prompt navigate to where fastboot.exe is and then trt the command.

I don't know whether this is still an option now that you've unlocked the bootloader but it is worth a try. This is a link to a guide I wrote for easily getting s-off and rooting your phone and if you would like, flashing a new ROM. Since you had this crash without having ever tampered with the phone, you might be in a tough situation but go ahead and start from the beginning of the guide and see where it gets you. Good luck!

so i had a similar situation on my dinc. it would bootloop at the red droid snapdarogon processor screen and that is as far as it would go then just keep rebooting to that point. i did the htcdev website and got the bootloader unlocked. i got clockwork recovery installed and have a rom running on it now. but every app i try to open just force closes. the only thing i can do is text and make phone calls on it. the phone still says s-on but says unlocked on top. when i try to use onrevoked to gain root it fails and says "is your firmware to new?". anyone have any ideas on this? thanks. didn't mean to crowd someone elses post.

Did you wipe everything before flashing the rom? If not that may be the cause of your problem.
To gain true s-off you must first fastboot flash a froyo misc img, then downgrade to froyo with an ruu, and then use unrevoked 3.22. Follow this guide here skipping the steps you have already done. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258

Since you have clockwork you could flash superuser though clockwork to gain superuser and use unrevoked forever to gain s-off, if you so desire.
link to superuser: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
I'm guessing your ROM is gingerbread or ICS so you want to use Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
and unrevoked forever is here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

Similar Situation
I have a Dinc that is also unrooted and has never been tampered with. I did the recent software update and the phone has not started since then. It only gets to the white screen that says HTC Incredible. I have tried the solutions proposed in this thread. I don't mind rooting if i need to but I am having absolutely no luck. Any ideas?
EDIT: So after hours of messing with this stupid phone, I left the battery out for about 5 minutes and while putting it back in i accidentally turned the phone back on.... and magically it started up just fine. I'm not sure what fixed it... Weird.

Can you help me fix the boot loop...?

I have a droid incredible and having the same rebooting issue as you all have. I tried to use the image given but that did not solve the problem as well.The phone boots up goes to the HTC incredible white boot screen logo and continues rebooting.
I cannot go pass the white screen boot logo.
Could you please be able to tell me how you managed to unlock the boot loader?

What is your phones current status?
S-on/off, hboot version, android version?
Download and place this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip on your sdcard, in no folders. Then boot to hboot and it should find the file and prompt to press vol up to update. That should get you back to stock and working.
You can unlock the bootloader on the htcdev site. http://htcdev.com/bootloader

still rebooting

Hi,
Thank you very much for responding to my question. I tried to do the steps above but it ended up with the same result still after updating and rebooting to the stock image you gave above.
I also now see something like ******Locked ****** in the boot loader screen.
phone current status
S-ON
hboot version -1.07.0000
android version - i cannot figure that out yet since i cant fully bootup the os. i think i had froyo
prior to the update i had hboot version as something like 0.92.0000
why can't i still boot to the stock image and it still keeps rebooting?
I really appreciate your help.

TELUS HTC DESIRE - Boot Loop Problem - Help! :D

Hello!
I have an HTC Desire that is stuck in bootloop. Anytime i boot the phone up it only reaches the HTC Logo then either gets stuck at the logo or cycles through the boot to logo.
It is through Telus and is no longer under warrenty. What options have worked in order to fix this? Telus support was less then supportive.
I have seen quite a bit of information on this forum and i am unsure which method might be best for my scenario. Any help would pointing me in a direction would be greatly appreciated
Im not sure what information i should post, so if there is something that is needed please ask and i will provide!

Boot into hboot (turn the phone off, then turn it back on using volume down and power). Then post everything that it shows there here.
Have you done anything to the phone like flashing a custom recovery, root, roms, etc, or is everything stock?

Download the 2.3 RUU here. Then copy it to the root (not inside any folder) of your sd card. Also DONT rename it (leave it as PB99IMG.zip)
Boot the phone into hboot and it will search for the file. When it finds it, it will ask if you want to install. Press volume up to say yes, then after its finished press volume up again to reboot.

Also if eveything goes well with flashing the ruu, i would recommend s-offing the phone. It will be useful later if you run into other issues.

S-off allows you to write onto partitions that you normally are unable to. This could be useful for example if u needed to flash a recovery or upgrade radio. Its also quite easy to do with revolutionary so I don't any reason not to do it.

You don't have to do anything to load it. when you boot into hboot it will automatically look for it and tell you if it finds it. All u need to do is press volume up after it finds it.

Ok well since this way isnt working you should try running the windows exe version of the ruu (a bit more of a pain)
First download these drivers and install them.
Then download the ruu. Boot the phone into hboot then go into fastboot, and once in fastboot connect the phone to your pc. Once its connected and the phone is recognized run the ruu. Make sure you have enough battery and dont interrupt the process or bad things will happen.
lol im dry, but my power looks like its going to go out soon

Does this sound ok so far?
Q 2) Once the RUU downloads, do i execute the .exe on my computer, or do i move it to the sd card and execute it from there?
Sorry, just want to make sure i do this correct haha.

Sounds good. If you really want to make sure that the drivers are installed correctly and its recognized you can setup adb/fastboot. Then plug the phone in while in fastboot mode and type "fastboot devices" from a command prompt on your pc. If your phones serial number shows up then everything is good to go.
You run the exe from your computer, you dont move it to the sdcard.

Ran the RUU and i cant seem to get it to recognize the connection from usb to phone.

[Q] stuck in hboot. keys not working

Hi everybody. I've read the great compilation of problems/solutions but have not find mine
My desire bravo is rooted and s-off. It's got CM7 and was working fine until it run out of battery. When powered on again, the hboot window appears (Even if only power is pressed) and VOL buttons doesn't move the cursor nor the trackpad... (they were working fine before)
I've tried to connect it to the PC, and that works. ADB devices seems to find the phone (it replies SH13NPL06262 fastboot). I've then tried to reflash different hboot, recovery... doesn't work (it says FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
Using android flasher, the program does not complain, but stays working on it forever...
This is the window with details about what's inside were I the phone stays until battery is unplugged.
Could you help me bring it back to life?
Cheers

Try downloading a recovery.img of 4ext and booting it. To do this boot the phone into fastboot using power + back, then run:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then once in recovery you can flash a ROM.

Thanks, but it didn't work. It says

When I start with "back"+"power" the screen looks the same as when using just "power" or "vol-" and "power"... it appears the image I show in the first post... Is that fastboot?
P.D. Just in case it helped: the command "fastboot reboot" is accepted but nothing happens in the screen. "fastboot reboot-bootloader" is rejected as the other (FAILED (status malformed)...)

When I start with "back"+"power" the screen looks the same as when using just "power" or "vol-" and "power"... it appears the image I show in the first post... Is that fastboot?

Yes, it's fastboot.
With the phone plugged in fastboot, what is the output of "fastboot devices"?

So its being recognized which is good, but this malformed error is the problem. Try "fastboot erase recovery", then "fastboot boot recovery.img" again.

Try installing the 2.3 RUU via PB99IMG method. Download the ruu here and read instructions on how to install it here.

You just installed the ruu. That brings the phone back to complete stock. If it says its completed then i would assume its safe to unplug. ONLY UNPLUG IF YOU ARE SURE ITS DONE. Then boot it back up and hope for the best :fingers-crossed:

Hi everybody. I've read the great compilation of problems/solutions but have not find mine
My desire bravo is rooted and s-off. It's got CM7 and was working fine until it run out of battery. When powered on again, the hboot window appears (Even if only power is pressed) and VOL buttons doesn't move the cursor nor the trackpad... (they were working fine before)
I've tried to connect it to the PC, and that works. ADB devices seems to find the phone (it replies SH13NPL06262 fastboot). I've then tried to reflash different hboot, recovery... doesn't work (it says FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
Using android flasher, the program does not complain, but stays working on it forever...
This is the window with details about what's inside were I the phone stays until battery is unplugged.
Could you help me bring it back to life?
Cheers

Have you tried taking the batter out, removing the SIM and SD cards, cleaning the contacts, and trying to boot it again? The symptoms are similar to what I've seen on my Desire, but doing that seemed to sort it out (at least, for a bit) but I didn't mess around with the HBOOT or anything.

Oh wait. I just realized you probably didnt even install it yet. It just parsed the zip and displayed all of the parts that it contains.
Below it should say "Do you want to start update?". You need to press volume up for "yes".

I have not seen that... this is what I get...
I have not been asked anything. Before that it looked for a couple of files that couldn't find (pb99diag.zip and pb99diag.nbh) then it found the PB99IMG.zip and started "reading" or installing...
I have disconnected and restarted and all the process starts again... Do I need those PB99DIAG files?

No you don't need any other files. Its supposed to work with just the pb99img. It seems to be stuck though, since like I said before you usually get a prompt asking if you want to install.
My next suggestion would be to use the ruu from your PC. You can get it here: http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152

Well, I have removed the SD, (or the pb99img file started to install again ) and tried to install RUU from PC, but always complains about Low battery. I've had it many hours charging, and battery was behaving fine up to now... very strange isn't it?
I'll keep it charging a few more hours, but I'm afraid it is not that

Well, I have removed the Pb99img file from SD card to do the procedure with the SD inserted... After a whole day charging, the PC programs still complains about battery being too low.
If any of you know any other thing to try, I 'll be happy, but I understand this is too weird and the phone might be internally damaged for some reason.
I thank you all for so many messages helping me with it. :good:

[Q] Will I save my htc Desire?

Dear all,
I have been looking around the forums and downloaded a few things and looked at various solutions, but I am stuck at the first hurdle.
I have been given an htc Desire Bravo that just will not boot. I do not know how it failed originally but I can only get it into the boot screens, either the fastboot/hboot logon ot the 5 buzzes and the htc logo lock. Also it takes about 30 minutes with the battery out after every failed boot attempt to restart the boot screen.
I have run adb but it cannot tell me a cid number, I have a micro sd card in it but it does not have the pb99diag.zip on it. When I put such a file on the sd card it does not find it. Communication via adb and the phone has varied success. I suspect it is drivers and what I read is an old adb bug where server is out of date.
I have never done this before this weekend so please be gentle with me!
If I can get it to work, even to use it like a wifi tablet without phone I would be happy. I am in the UK and if we have real success I would get it on tesco PAYG
I get the "cannot find pb99diag.zip etc" dialogue when going into hboot.
The logon says

Can someone suggest where to start? I have tried a number of guides on the forum but no success so far. Even just getting an os running would be success. I will be looking at this each evening so apologies if I seem slow to respond
Thanks

First make S-Off. I forgot how but if i think right, you must it do via revolutionary, If it success, then download 4ext recovery.IMG and flash it via fastboot and reboot in bootloader in your recovery

After you s off u can flash hboot the easy way but first s off.

If u phone does not boot then u can NOT s-off, ur phone needs to be booted.. also if ur s-on and not rooted then all u can do is flash a ruu.
Did u try factory reset from bootloader menu? Try that first, u never know but chances r ul prob need to ruu a ruu.

Hi jmcclue,
Thanks for the comments. I can boot to the HBoot and Fastboot screens, thats how I could find the S-ON and version data. If I get it to reboot, I get either a white screen with just "htc" on it, or 5 buzzes and a screen with no life at all. I am hopeful to get it to S-OFF as I have had some communication through the usb to pc connection. I am not sure if I can do an RUU update as I don't seem to have a CID. I do not have a factory reset option on the HBOOT screen. I have tried clear storage but that has no effect. Perhaps I need the S-OFF first.
Cheers again,
A

Use the 2.3gb update ruu its wwe (world wide english) so dont worry bout cid. U can find it in bortaks troubleshooting guide in resources section and its naned 2.3.3 ruu. U will find it easy enough in google aswell. Search for "htc desire 2.3gb update" its a exe file so just boot ur phone into fastboot, plug in ur phone and run the ruu, hopefully it willvwork. Im a bit worried tho about the 5 vibrations u get, maybe a sign of hardware failure. But try that ruu anyway. And again u can not get s-off unless ur phone is fully working/booted.

Well that was a bit wierd
If anyone can see where I went wrong, feel free to say.
I could not seem to get the link between the phone and the pc so I removed the htc sync and restarted the pc. I could then connect to the phone in some way as abd gave a command error when I sent a fastboot oem readcid which it normally does. So leaving it in fastboot with usb I ran the wwe~.exe file and it all seemed to be doing installing. There were tens of installations going to the phone I guess each reaching 100%. Suddenly I had a web page popup in my browser s.rev2pub.com/ul_cb/player.html?a=19471543&context=c23573548&size=800x600&rt=popunder&ci=10&cb=[CACHEBUSTER] recommending I download latest drivers. The wwe ruu vanished and I have no continuing processes in Task manager that I can see.
So, should I have installed in hboot? Thankfully I can still get the phone to power on. What should happen after the exe file installs?
I am able to get some response from the phone as adb devices returns the phone device number. So I hope I can try again.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks

Revolutionary S-OFF and recovery

Hey Adrian, I had the same problem as you did, hopefully I can be of help.
First, like everyone else is saying you will need S-OFF.
To do this head to this site on your PC revolutionary.io hit download for windows or Linux or whatever your pc is running, then you will need to fill out information about your device (see attached screenshot). Device, HBoot number, and serial number, (the serial number can be found behind the battery of your device). Once you have done that, click "Generate Key". it will give you a key, remember it or write it down.
Then, open the file that was downloaded, and extract the contents to your documents and Run the revolutionary( should look like the screenshot attached). Plug your device in (assuming you have the drivers) and it should ask you to enter the beta key we had before. Enter that and hit enter. it will then S-off your Desire and soon ask if you would like to install a custom recovery. hit Y and then enter, once that is finished, unplug your device and in HBoot go to "Recovery". Now you can flash a ROM of your choice.
Hopefully I made sense!
Best of luck

Thank you Neibaf97
Can I confirm that I can do this from the HBOOT screen or the fastboot screen? Also where jmmclue said if I can't boot then I can't S-Off, does that mean boot to the HBOOT screen or into Android? Then if I want to load say WWE, do I put that on a microSD to get it to recover?

Thanks lilsafbig, that was a little too ambiguous to understand, but I have a few developments.
I am able to communicate to some degree with adb between phone and pc. Before I was unable to get anything back but now with the right syntax I have got back the CID as HTC_001 and the device number. But when I run revolutionary from the fastboot USB screen the revolutionary continues to wait for the device to show. Is it likely that USB degugging was off prior to the failure, is there a way to get it on. I suggest this as when I connect it to my pc it recognizes the device and shows in the device manager as an htc unspecified device (this is progress). As I cannot boot android it does not show as an additional drive in file manger. when I try some of the fastboot oem commands I get bad command errors, whilst fastboot getvars is ok. Could this be why I cannot get revolutionary to S-OFF!
Thanks

additional info, when usb is in an in fastboot usb, the device manager sees it as android 1.0

If you can still get to bootloader / fastboot screen, then you are rarely ever bricked.
1. Ignore anything and everything to do with revolutionary and fastboot for now. I'm afraid the first few posts while trying to be helpful have been misleading. Get your phone booting up into Android OS first, i.e. into a stock ROM using an RUU
2. Use the 2.3.3. GB RUU, nothing else, it doesn't need a goldcard or care about CID etc.
3. Download it from the bottom here, then use Bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, Point [7] to run it as a PB99IMG.zip from the root of your sdcard. That way you don't need to run it through USB or care about what drivers are installed.

Thank you Eddie, I will try that. I did try flash a PB99IMG.zip before with no success but I will try again.
I found it here Official Stock Sense Gingerbread_v1.2 GB-2.3.3_A2SD – http://androidba.se/J7 for desire (neophyte)
I hope it can work out ok. I guess I format the sd card to fat32 not ext4
Will let you know how it goes.

That did not work because the file is not an RUU...it is a stock rooted custom ROM with A2SD (the clue is in the name). It is designed to flashed in recovery like any other ROM. Renaming it to PB99IMG.zip won't do anything.
Use the actual shipped roms RUU link provided.
Reformat your sdcard to a single FAT32 partition if necessary, then follow Method [7] of the guide, place only the PB99IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard (not in any folder)
