Soft Brick - Really Expert Advice Needed - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA Programmers and Developers,
I have a big issue with my HTC Desire. Long story short I think I have bricked it
To begin with, I acquired the phone locked to Vodafone UK. After trying to unlock it using HTC Unlock Sim Tool, the software crashed and the phone was restarting at random times. You can watch the video here.
So, following some advice from XDA, I tried to re-install RUU 2.3 Gingerbread Update through the SD Card. For some reason I got a worse problem which was Radio Fail
In order to fix the issue, I tried many different RUUs available in order to get the radio fixed. One of the RUU I used resulted to what is known SLCD brick. As you can understand now, I have now visual feedback now.
In order to fix this, I followed this thread along with this tutorial.
I have created a goldcard and tried all day long to get a WWE RUU run and fix the issue. However I got no results.
Then, I decided to try fastboot and see if the phone is working.
When I run Command I get the follwing results:
1) The device is connected properly:
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
HT091PL00003 fastboot
2) I cannot flash RUU from fastboot:
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot update C:\rom.zip
Whoops: didn't find expected signature

4) I can however restart it into bootloader (apparently since I don't have any feedback from the phone or the computer)
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot reboot-bootloader
rebooting into bootloader... OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s

Lastly, I can't update using any RUU since I get ERROR 170 and ERROR 171.
Any help is appreciated.

Did you try the 2.3 GB RUU?

Yes, I did try it. However, when I try and run the .exe file through my computer I get error 171.
The exe file guides me up to the point where the installation begins, and it stops working at this point:
"Restarting Bootloader"

[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
sending 'zip' (291447 KB)... FAILED (remote: 02 data length is too large)
HBOOT screen shows me the following:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.82.0008
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.08.04.30_M3
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
We used this one PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_2.15.531.3_Radio_12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3.zip

Not with an HTC Vision, you can't... You need an PC to do this.
That's too bad. The G2 used to easy. Thanks for the reply!
Edit: So that goes for the G2 aswell correct?
99 Unknown fail
I have tried to flash the provided earlier in the post (PC10IMG.zip).
But the device returns the following. Is the because i need to gold pass the SD card?

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] Trying to Unlock Bootloader (And Root) Don't know original carrier

Hey Guys
First time rooting an android and having an issue trying to unlock the bootloader.
Following various guides when I try the command 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' I get the following error back
Code:
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.008s
Upon researching this I've found that the common cause of this problem is the HBOOT being too old to recognise the I]'fastboot oem get_identifier_token'[/I] command. So I've got back to step 1 on HTCDev and looking for a new RUU. The only problem is I've never known what carrier the phone came with as I purchased the phone on ebay. I've tried every RUU for the model number PG7610000 from the HTCDev site but none work. So my only question is, What do I do now?
Solved. For those with same / similar problem. I found that you can upgrade just the HBOOT via a SD Card, So I put the file on the card, and went into the bootloader and select Fastboot. It will find the Zip file and ask to install it.
Then you can follow the standard unlock & Root procedure.

Factory reset is impossible

In short, I'm trying to factory reset the phone to it's default settings, but every attempt is met with a failed attempt. Here's the specs
HTC Incredible
Android 2.2
Locked
S-ON
Hboot 1.02.000
Software: 3.26.605.1
Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28
Upgrading using the RUU file, PB3120000_Incredible_C_hboot_1.02.0000_4.08.605.2.exe, does nothing because even when it says it succeeds, the software version is the same. Tried the PB31IMG.zip method doesn't work because I get the error, "Main version is older". Going into recovery mode and resetting from there does nothing either because that fails.
The closest method I've seen which resembles mine is from this thread, but because the phone is deactivated I can't access the market to download and install rom manager to fix what could be a corrupted recovery? On top of that, I spent over an hour working with SDK, and came to the conclusion that I'm out of my depth. If anyone could point me in the right directions.
Edit: Figured out I had the wrong zip file so when I finally got it to update to 4.08.605.2 image, the boot screen is stuck at "HTC Incredible" splash screen, so I'm to assume I bricked it?

If you can get to hboot, its not bricked. Have you tried a factory reset from hboot since doing the update?

Try this ruu thru hboot http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip. If that dosent work i would unlock your bootloader with http://htcdev.com/bootloader. Then flash a custom recovery. Then from recovery try to do a full wipe and a flash of a rom.
How do I get access to the sim card from my computer and install the zip if the phone won't boat? Or is there a way I can still do this through hboot?

Well to put the PB file on the sdcard you would need to remove it from the phone, and then use a pc to put the file on there. You would most likley need an adapter, as most card readers dont do micro sd. However you can use fastboot to flash a pb file. Place the PB file on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Then type the folowing one at a time.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip PB31IMG.zip
Also unlocking the bootloader, and flashing a recovery only requires the use of fastboot.
EDIT: I guess i should have asked first if you have fastboot adb and their drivers setup on your pc? And if you know how to use them?
Sorry bout not mentioning I'm still a noob at this but for the most part I'm pretty tech savvy (just with iphones shhhh), I was in the middle of updating my progress, and I just finished installing SDK and recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img, so now after installing the PB zip udate I got this message, "Failed (remote: 99 unknown fail)". What version of PB is this anyways?

The latest 4.08.605.15. Wait that is not a correct recovery for this phone. So you are unlocked now? If so that is why the fastboot ruu failed, the bootloader must be locked.
Yea I googled it not too long ago and figured that out. So what's the right version then?

OK, I think I just made things worse. First off, I didn't know I shouldn't of unlocked it because now I instead of getting that error 99 when trying to mount the PB, I get the message saying, "bootloader err command error !!!" after I enter "fastboot oem rebootruu". And trying to mount it while it's unlocked I get the message, "FAILED (remote: not allowed)". Sad face all around. Also, those 2 links you gave me are broken or just aren't working for me, so I'll try to find other links in the mean time. But as far as re-locking the phone, I still get the same messages as above.

You can relock by typing in fastboot

Or your saying you already tried that and it have an error?
The links should be working again.

Wait, does your hboot still have the same info you posted earlier as far as software version and baseband? In othet words are you still on android 2.2? And do you have a working recovery now?

Well you could try thay ruu in the post above, or go to recovery, do a wipe, and flash a rom.
EDIT: To flash a rom thru recovery you would need to unlock again with the bin file.
---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------
Lol we kind of have two different things going here, and they kind of conflict. So either stay locked and try that othet ruu, or unlock again and wipe and flash a rom with cwm.
Ok, it succesfully mounted that last image you linked to me. Only thing now after it finished on the command prompt, looking at the phone now and it's sitting there with the HTC logo, a black background, and a finished green bar. Should I just reboot it or keep waiting?

HTC M8 Unable to flash ROM, RUU Error 155, 32 header error, etc

This is gonna be long, so BIG thanx in advance for reading this post.
I will give as much info as possible to let u guys better determine whats going on, be prepared for a long read.
I have been fiddling with android 4-5 years ago, but that's it, so I consider my self a noob.
here it goes...
1) I have purchased an "international ver. HTC M8 brand new" from amazon third party seller for 200.00 USD
2) came with many evidence showing it's not brand new, but well disguised to look like new. See details:
1. I can tell it's a resealed package from experience; cable is a generic one that tries to mimic the original HTC cable, and it only charges (no data transfer). The charge brick has no film and has micro scratches.
2. Phone has no carrier logo, boot screen has no carrier logo, system has no carrier bloatware. The firmware seems to be unlocked/developer, but the CID(T-MOB010) and MID(0P6B13000) of the phone is T-Mobile!
3. As a brand new phone, it came rooted and S-Off.
4. OTA update fails indicating device has been modified.
3) Coming from a marshmallow phone, I decided to manual upgrade to Android 6. I downloaded the unlocked/developer & T-Mobile RUU from HTC, but both update fails at the black screen with silver HTC logo. (I forgot to mark down the error code, since I'm still a bit rusty from couple of years not digging this deep.)
4) I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader through HTC dev, then performed the same RUU. Same result.
5) I setup adb, then performed CID and MID change to make it the Dev ver. (BS_US002 + 0P6B12000). Ran the same RUU, same result.
6) Then I extracted the zip from the RUU and placed it in the ext sd to flash in hboot. Result was an error of file being too big.
7) I installed TWRP recovery, used it to flash the zip, received error of extraction fail. performed RUU, same result as above, noticed the error 155.
8) Next at fastboot usb, performed command <fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip> ends up with FAIL and Remote: not allowed message.
9) Finally, I tried RUU mode. Ended with the 32 header error:
Code:
C:\fastboot-win>adb reboot bootloader
C:\fastboot-win>fastboot oem rebootRUU

I felt pretty helpless and frustrated now, makes me wonder what is going on with this phone.
This is gonna be my last resort, pls if someone knows what's going on and how to fix this, teach me, Please!
feel free to ask about more info, I will try to explain in further details.
I give you the basic idea as I'm away from my PC.
1. To install the official marshmallow RUU exe, you need to fastboot flash its firmware first.
You should be able to find the official firmware in my thread linked in my signature on post #5
2. To fastboot flash a rom.zip, you need to use htc_fastboot not the generic fastboot which gave you the error.
