[Q] HTC Desire Bricked - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys and girls (maybe ? :laugh: )
Ok so i'm sorry to bother you but i tried everything by myself, googling, searched the forum, followed the master Troubleshooting guide here but none of it worked (I'm not a noob with rooting installing roms and everything coz I had an Acer Liquid MT, an HTC Wildfire, and an HD2 on android).
Let me explain. A friend as retrieved an HTC Desire where is father works. But the problem is that this poor Desire appears to be bricked (he thinks that the battery has been pulled out during update), so he asked me to get it back for daily use.
So when powering up the phone, i have the basic htc screen with the /!\ in all the corners. The when i plug in the Desire to my pc and then unplug it, i have a white screen that looks to be the hboot menu, but broken as i can't do anything with it.
When plugged, in my pc, the Desire seems to be recognized coz Windows notifies me with the normal plug in tone and i can see the phone in the device management window. Installing the WWE RUU as recommanded in the Master thread doesn't work, it says that there was an error tried to connect the phone through USB (not connected). I'll end that saying all the key combos doesn't work, i can just boot as normal (the key combos boots the phone as normal, bringing me to the /!\ screen.
Before anyone is asking me, I correctly installed HTC sync with av on and then reinstalled with av off, tried fastboot and didn't see the device (but i may did something wrong as i cannot see my HD2 on android too)
All the informations about the phone i can provide are :
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.02.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.02.27
Jul 22 2011,16:19:16 ( maybe not useful but who knows ^^ )
For illustrating what i mean, see the pics attached below for the /!\ screen, the broken hboot, and the Device manager window.

Girl? Is that a new pokemon?
Anyhow, in my sig you will find the 2.3 ruu as a PB99IMG.zip. Download that, put it on your sd-card, then enter hboot, and flash it. It should fix it.

The problem is that the key combo for hboot (Vol - + Power if i'm not wrong ?) Brings me to the /!\ screen. I tried this method with an old RUU including a froyo rom. My only way to go to what it seems to be the hboot menu is to power on, plug and unplug. But can't do anything while there.
But maybe the vol - doesn't work but i have no information about this.
Anyway thanks for the quick reply

Like said, put the PB99IMG on ur sdcard then with phone off press and hold the back button + power then in fastboot, select bootloader and press power button.

Back + Power just ends with the /!\ screen and a continuous vibration. I'm forced to pull out the battery to stop it.
EDIT: Tried another time, i just had the /!\ screen but no vibration this time.

The second picture (white one) is what happens when i unplug it. When i plug the phone the /!\ screen stays and the phone seems to be recognized by the computeur as i see it in the device manager.
EDIT: The RUU screen comes when i unplug the phone. And when i plug the phone back, the /!\ screen comes back

I continued anyway and now, i can see the progress bar on the computer, and the phone keeps vibrating. Must i stop now ? Let it continue ? The update started since 2 or 3 mins and show 0%

I unplugged, to stop vibration, progress was still at 0% after near 20 mins or more. I stopped, letting the phone cooling down. The following will seem incredible but i put it in the freezer and waited like 5mins. And now i just started back the update process and the phone doesn't vibrate for now and the total progress state is a 27%.
EDIT : after 3-4 mins stucked at 27% the phone restarted vibrating.

Yeah i think so. But if i'm able to complete the ruu installation, the phone may be overheat again in daily use ?

Ok,so i finaly managed ton completely install the RUU. I waited 40min with the phone in the freezer, and completed the installation with the computer right next to the freezer, the phone in it. And now, the phone bootloop stuck at the HTC logo with white screen after 1st vibration, and then vibrate 7 times before shutting down itself and restarting again.
EDIT: This problem seems much easier to fix now (except the fact that the phone can overheat). As i have a normal access to hboot now i'll try to install a custom recovery tomorrow (need to sleep now ><).
Anyway thank you for your precious help jmcclue

Ur phone needs to be atleast rooted to install recovery but im affraid recovery wont help at all if its hardware failure. Did ur friend buy the phone new? If so he mite still have warranty on it. (going by the date in that pic) its a job for HTC to replace the motherboard.

And for funny purpose, rooting the phone requires that it correctly boots in Android right ? Grrrr . I have another Desire, but can't get it to boot, seems that it has been taken apart and remounted with feets. If i could take it's motherboard to try. But haven't got tools for that.

Bricked Wildfire S

Hey Guys
Yesterday I wanted to upgrade my wildfire S
it had an Arabic Rom from HTC with Android 2.3.3
so i tried to flash the European Rom (RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed.exe)
everything went OK then i noticed there is a newer version (RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe)
so i go on with RUU and the flashing went well
BUT
when the phone rebooted it didnt boot and the screen was black and flickering with some white lines
now i can't reflash any rom , can't using RUU .... etc
Can Any one help me please, i bought my phone one week ago i don't want to lose it
Thanks

No I can't
any thing i do to turn the phone on causing black screen with flickering grey and white
are there any way to repair that ?
same here
Hiya Fantastic7,
The same happened to me exactly! I got the ROM from the web (the filename was OK, but the content wasn't.) I went ahead with the flash, now I have a Wildfire S which upon power on produces the following symptoms:
a.) flashes the red LED and a white line at the bottom of the screen blinks, then turnes the screen off, and starts the process in a cycle until the battery is removed
b.) does NOT vibrate or allows me to enter the HBOOT menu (POWER and VOL Down button).
The phone is S-ON (I checked it in the HBOOT before updating the RUU Rom on the phone) but SIM free.
So far the solution I found is to send it off and it'll be taken apart and RE-ROMmed. (Search for fonefunshop - bloody forum doesn't allow me to insert link)
There's a video of the procedure (with a HTC Desire) here: youtu.be /-awHNhxG480
Keep me posted if you find anyhting else helpful.
Why don't you claim your warranty?

I'm from Syria mate
Syria = No HTC official agency or Care
I just encountered the same problem, but the strange thing is that the very same file worked fine on another WildFire S which I've just completed setting up CM7.2 on.
RUU used: RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe
Any luck finding out how it can be brought back to life?
Cheers.
I can help you!!

Yea, that's fine and dandy if I could even get into HBOOT, no less fastboot... :/
From powered off state, turning it on, it immediately starts blinking as described earlier in this thread.

yeah..... well mine is back on s-on and when i boot it does a boot loop ( htc logo then turns off then htc logo again)
can some one tell me how to turn on usb debugging mode using pc....:crying:
What happens if you plug the USB into the PC and then quickly boot to hboot?
Also, since you have access to the Bootloader you should download a good copy of the rom. Remove the rom.zip from the ruu and then rename it to pg76img.zip and put it on your sdcard. Reboot to BootLoader and let it run the update.

Bricked HTC Desire

Hi guys,
My bro has been flashing roms quite oftenly, I dont know how he does it. I dont use a HTC Desire.
Today he came to me and told me to help him fix up because he couldnt boot to anything.
The phone stay on the White HTC Screen only.
After reading up XDA, I booted into fastboot (Back Button + Power) and tried to Flash HTC Bravo RUU for WEE_Asia.
I used to flash WinMo devices so I thought it should be any problem.
When flashing, everything was fine until towards the end an error saying the package is lost or incomplete. and the RUU updater just leaves me without any choice to revert or what. I didnt not get a screenshot as well.
Now the device is bricked. Power button, anything doesnt work at all, blank screen. yeah..
So any suggestions or tricks to unbrick it?
ADD: Is it this first case of a REAL BRICK HTC Desire? (because I see alot people posting about 'brick' devices but its just merely some software problem)
because as far as I know its quite impossible to brick a device, well and error during RUU update can brick the device, but the error appears in the end of the RUU so Im still kinda unsure what problem is it.
pull the battery out for a min then put back in and hold volume down + power. what happens? does it vibrate or anything?
Sent from my HTC Desire
nope. no vibration at all.
Could it be a battery problem?
because I always see him charging daily and his battery always goes down till 40% or so even in airplane mode!
would it have been the battery problem that caused the RUU error?

doubt it if it only happened after trying ruu. if u were s-off then u cant just run a ruu anyway. this is prob what caused it. do u have a warranty?
Sent from my HTC Desire
Yes the device was S-off when I ran RUU.
Unfortunately, warranty was over last month..
So is this the case of broken bootloader?

I saw some relevant questions in this thread and decided this is the right place for my question. Here are the symptoms of what looks like my bricked HTC Desire It happened to me after I ran (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783) RUU on my S-OFF phone:
- Take the battery in/out, press power button, just a quick vibrate and nothing happens
- Tried to boot in fastbood (Power button + Volume -) nothing happens
- Plug in the charger - LED is ON (orange)
- The msg on the PC app for RUU was that there was an err during the "upgrade", which was a downgrade attempt, caused by the fact that my phone software was not the right one for that RRU.. or smth like that. Suggesting I go and download the right version.
My question is... is my HTC Desire officially bricked or are we talking about some of those "soft bricks" you guys are referring to with hope for a restore.
Thx outfront, guys.

Thx for the reply! Doesn't budge.
I kept the battery out for a few mins and held down the buttons for a while as well. Screen doesn't turn on. I'm guessing the vibration and LED are good signs?
I've been at it for a while. As far as I got looking for answers throughout the forum... I used ADB app on windows to run command "adb devices" and got a
HT-some-code/serial....................recovery.
So I'm guessing the phone is stuck in recovery. Wonder if I can turn S-ON and try to re-run RUU from this adb thingy.
Ok, I unbricked it For all people that will land here, my (USB) brick occured after running the wrong RUU on a S-OFF Desire.
I started down the list of HTC Desire shipped RUUs from the list of shipped RUU (can't post link) and the phone got back to its out-of-the box state after I hit the right one. Worked for me.

I tried running the command "adb devices" when my bricked Desire is connected on my PC (pressed down the two buttons as well before connecting it) but it says "List of devices attached" without any serial you said that there was.
I don't know how does the "recovery" on bricked phone works. I did my test: remove and reinsert battery and connect phone. LED comes out. (means it isn't permanently bricked) press down "volume down" and "power" buttons and LED switched off. Tells me that recovery must have been booted.
Any suggestions? :crying:
EDIT:
Okay I followed the RUU method (post just above this). I remembered which RUU I am supposed to install (technically RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_TR_1.30.184.3_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_139001_signed.exe). Unfortunately I received the ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR, which is sad. hurr
Before this bricking incident happened, I did an update to get android v. 2.3.4. Then I want to revert back its hboot from 1.02 to 0.9x using this method. Somehow, after the third step I still have S-OFF, HBOOT 6.93.1002, which is frustrating. That's where I went to alpharev and tried my luck. Nothing gets the advantage. I found another topic which then I found this rooting topic. That's where I began dumb and installing the RUU I want to install (which is the asia version, since my phone's RUU should be from Asia).
And that's how I got my phone bricked.
ugh

[Q] HTC Desire RUU Help!!

I all, my friend recently gave me an HTC Desire, which fails to boot at the HTC logo on a white background. I thought it would be a case of simply reflashing the firmware but I can't get any of them to work what-so-ever, here are the details of my attempts so far-
RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed - Fails at 140 Error
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed - Fails at 170 Error
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed - Fails at 170 Error
i'm not sure what I am doing wrong - here are the phone details--
Vodafone UK Branded - Sim Lock
Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MIRCOP-051D
TOUCH PANEL- SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
AUG 10 2010, 17:52:18
CURRENT IMAGE 2.33.161.6
Any help would be great, I have no idea of what other RUU I could use.
**Update**, I have also tried copying the rom.zip from each RUU and renaming the file to PB99IMG.zip and then copying it to the SD Card, booting into recovery and selecting BOOTLOADER / FASTBOOT, which then changes to FASTBOOT / HBOOT which then says it the wrong image!!
try 2.3 gb upgrade in my sig (PB99IMG)

I read online that the GB version wasn't very good and its best to stay with Froyo unless that statement is wrong
**update**
I managed to get this RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed.exe onto the phone, I had tried this already until I started repeatedly pressing the power key in the recovery menu and it started to install and was successful. its just rebooted but is it normal for it to stay on the white HTC screen for a while, it's been a few mins so far.
**update 2** I reflashed it and it now says Radio_V2 Failed-PU, not sure what this means
**update 3** the phone rebooted after the failed update and it now appears to have diesda death, not sure what has happened or how to fix it. it won't switch on, responed when connected to a computer, nor can i get it into recovery, any idea's on a fix?
radio fail is the worste fail u could get. the only way iv seen it being fixed is running the 2.3 gb upgrade from HTCDev over and over again till it works (if it works) good luck

How do you install it, it's a .tar.gz file and how do you install it onto a phone that won't boot up, gonna need help with this one if.
u flash it from bootloader. phone off then hold volume down + power. then plug it into ur computer and run the file.
if u want, check my sig, the PB99IMG of it is there, just put it on ur sdcard then vol down + power then bootloader will find it and ask to update, volume up for yes. make sure uv plenty power on ur battery. all u can do is keep trying, hopefully it will work.

As I have said it's not coming on even when I do the volume down + power, I left it connected to it's charger last night but i'm not sure it even did that as there was no led indication it was charging,
also each other time I put the file named PB99IMG it never asked to update it only ever said there was a file missing, that's when I came across the little trick of repeatedly pressing the power button while in the bootloader which seemed to force it as there was an status indicator in the top right corner which filled up, then it asked to update, the first flash went ok, but it hanged on the white HTC boot screen and did nothing for 20 mins so I started again and that's when I got a failure.
Any help would be good

Does the phone boot anymore? No led flash, anything? You may have bricked your phone for good. Try following bortak's giude, or ask there about your problem.

its a brick.. ruu gone wrong (radio-fail), dont turn on, dont charge, no led nothing. Thats a pure balls but running ruu's is a risk unfortunitly and thats what happens sometimes.

absolutely nothing what-so-ever, it has become a paperweight for now, because its out of warranty HTC are wanting £100 to fix it, but a local repair shop it wanting £40 to look at it but they might not be able to fix the issue

mine is still under warranty, but...is there any way they could detect the phone is s-off (maybe not, i don´t know) after ruu fails and phone is absolutely not responding to anything?

Check the 2.3 RUU in my sig. Put it on your sd-card, boot into bootloader, flash it, then use revolutionary to s-off.

Try vol_down+power combination or backkey+power...In case of a faulty button...
If not try to put the phone in fridge for 20 mins as this helps with the chipsets and then power it on.

i'm sure it will not work because after 30 mins attached to the power supply the mobile is cold... no signs of charging
Are you sure the phone is closed?Unplug the battery and plug it in and dont press any key...just plug your phone to the charger.if not again im afraid your phone is bricked...
and there is a difference between fridge and just leave it..Put it in the fridger.Low temperatures sometimes makes some chips to work and with this way we may open it.

Were you on stock hboot when you flashed the ruu? Did you pull out the battery too fast? It couldn't have just bricked itself...
He mentioned that he was in stock hboot..Maybe this is a mb problem in memory,problem in battery or dont know.....

Put your phone in the freezer for 10 minutes with the battery taken out, then see if you can boot.

Seriously ..... well i'll do it cause some of other tech device worked
If your mobile is completely not working even not going in hboot mode than ur phone is dead..............means ur bootloader broke. There is no home fix...... You should go to market and said for jtag jig. If not work u should change ur motherboard.
If ur hboot mode working than keep battery out about 6,7 hours than try to go in hboot and leave it........
Download 2.2 or 2.3 android offical for desire and than install it on ur phone.....
You should follow the steps which they said........
One thing is that u don't use ur phone in installation means don't press a single button.

Please read and inform yourself a bit before posting.
His phone goes in hboot, but does not boot in recovery. This indicates that the phone could have an overheating problem. That's why I suggested putting the phone in the freezer. If it boot after the freezer trick, then it's a motherboard problem.
No need for ruu's, or jtag jigs, or letting the phone sit for 6 hours.

Hey i also take ur advice to put my phone into freezer it just turn on for about an hour and it completely turn off even not going in hboot or fastboot.
When i read another xda forum than i noticed that due to putting battery in freezer there is now a little bit of water in it and damaged my phone.

It's not the water. If you only let it for 10 minutes in the freezer, there should be no water. Your motherboard is the problem. It overheated. It's a known hardware issue of the Desire.
You'll have to change your motherboard.
