Bricked my phone badly

ok so i wanted to get a custom rom my desire hd 2.3.5
at start i have tryed the old way thats in the sticky but that was for 2.3.4 so that didnt work.
what did work was unlocking the bootloader via htc dev site. after that i was clueless.
I've found AAK to root my phone and downgrade so i had used that, but i forgot that the phone was unlocked and it said it had to be locked.
and now the phone is bricked i've tried all possible ways with wiping data and cache but it doesnt work.
i wanted to relock the bootloader with fastboot.
i had entered this command:
fastboot oem lock
but that gave this error
FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
so my phone hangs on the boot screen and i cant do anything?
can you guys please help me?

The fact you can get to the bootloader is a great sign, so don't worry! The only time you need to properly panic is when you can't get anything on the screen or even a charge light.
---Double check with someone else that this is correct, but I think this is what you need to do ---
Do you have a custom recovery (i.e clockworkmod)? Can you boot into recovery? Use the volume keys to select recovery, then press the power button. If you get options like "reboot now" and "install zip from sd card" then flash a rom like Android Revolution HD.
If you get a red triangle, find a zip you want to flash and name it "PD98IMG.zip" then put it on the root of the SD card. Reboot to bootloader and it should flash.
If you truly want to relock the bootloader, flash an RUU and it will restore you to stock.

Simply renaming a ROM PD98IMG.zip wont work it needs to be formatted in a certain way, but if the phone is S-OFF, which wasn't mentioned there are certainly PD98IMG's about for a variety of ROMs. But I suspect Tamens suggestion of flashing the appropriate RUU and starting from scratch is going to be quickest way to get sorted

I had this same problem with mine it got stuck trying to boot up but I had no boot loader or I couldn't get into recovery.so download a took called ANDROID FLASHER and reflash the radio ect.my desire hd is now fine.

well i have tried to flash the ruu but without succes.
ive loaded the PD98IMG.zip on the sd and let the bootloader use it. nothing happened.
also my phone is s-on and could not find a way to go to s-off in recovery mode or boatloader.

Down load the tool above Android flasher.from the tool u can enable fast boot ect from your PC and loads of other stuff.it is a very simple to use and it has loads of folders for recovery, boot loader ect let it do every thing for u.that was the only thing that worked for me

I've tried it but it doesn't work because my phone is s-on...
the description of that utility said that s-off is essential
i am really running out of options..
in short my phone has a unlocked bootloader and after that i've used AAK.
the result is bricked phone with s-on and unlocked bootloader

PJ46IMG

Hi all,
I've just got my one x yesterday and about to flash android hd from mike. However i encounter some problem when proceeding on firmware upgrade.
My phone is still on 1.26 and i am trying to flash the pj46img.zip. bootloader has already been unlocked
1. I placed the pj46img on the root of SD, however when i boot into bootloader it is not going to search for the update, which looks abnormal (i previously owned a desire z and to my understanding it will search for the img.zip files before it let me netvigates the menu to fastboot/recovery. That's not my case on one x)
2. i checked my cid is showing "none" which i understand this is normal since i have unlocked via htcdev.com. I tried to relock my bootloader in order to get official ota flashed. However when i type "fastboot oem relock" it will show (bootloader) lock successfully following with "fail (read content is too long)"
And on hboot screen it is showing "relocked **security warning**" and i was not able to get to cwm thus can't flash in recovery as well.
It would be highly appreciated if someone can provide some checking or solution. Let me know if you need my clarification (sorry for poor english). At the moment i am sticking with leedroid
Thanks all in advance

Go back and unlock it again then flash CWM and superuser.
Flash a stock rom or a backup if you did any?
After flashing the stock 1.26xx you will automatically have the update pop up, download and install.
This is what I did anyways. The bootloader can be unlocked and update official anyways.
And also I think you were suppose to type 'fastboot oem lock' not relock.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

I'm trying this too....
Last night I tried to flash my stock ROM (O2 UK branded) - but downloaded the wrong RUU. So I couldn't flash a completely stock ROM.
I ended up putting Mike's stock ROM on, and tried to flash update.zip via CWM - but got errors.
I am presuming this is because it's not a completely stock ROM, flashed via RUU??
I have now got the correct RUU for my handset, so I am going to try both using PJ46IMG method - and update.zip via CWM
One thing - I am currently running Insert Coin 3.2.0 (which is 1.28 base), do I have to step down to a 1.26 ROM before flashing back the stock recovery, and re-locking bootloader, then running 1.26 RUU?
Or can I just go straight to flashing back stock recovery & re-locking bootloader, then flashing stock RUU?

How did you get on with the flashing img.zip? I seem to be stuck with it not flashing either

[Q] please any ideas

hi,
i need some help
i have Wildfire S with Hboot 0.90.0000
i need to root and unlock this mobile
everytime i'm trying to send a recovery it returns to fast boot menu and nothing happen
i've 2.3.5 android version

You have to unlock your bootloader 1st. Please check the index thread at the top of the general section for the tutorials.

this a virus phone,cid is 11111111,if you put PG76IMG to sdcard,and no update information，I have a way to do it.

You have to use htcdev tool for unlock bootloader. Then, install de cw recovery ( put the zip in the sd card and start recovery, it will install auntomatly. And finish, in the recovery, flash the root.

thanx all
can i know any way to change cid from 111111
please inform me

you don‘t need to change cid1111111，because this is change by manufacture,I don'tknow how to change it, may be have a way.

is this a kind of mobile virus?
how can i change my recovery
i'm trying to send a file and nothing happen

any new news????????

first you s-off your phone，and then can do recovery.before I though your phone is s-0ff,and can not recovery，if your phone is s-on ,is not virus phone.

Help with unroot/root s-off

I'm having difficulties getting s-off on my device. I had my dinc 2 rooted with s-off awhile back, but then decided to go back to stock (not sure why). Anyways, I did the OTA update to the latest version that breaks the old vivow root/s-off method. So in the meantime, I used HTC dev unlock bootloader and installed MIUI 12.9. The problem is, I still have S-on from htc dev unlock and I can't just go into CWM and flash a different kernel to fix the low call volume. So I tried going through the tacoroot method, but I can't get my phone to show up in the bootloader or fastboot usb screen when I do adb devices. Commands such as fastboot reboot work, but trying to do "adb push blah blah" just gives a device not found error. Since I had to relock my device with htc dev and I have MIUI installed, I can't boot the phone up because it just says *security warning* after locking it. How do I flash the stock rom back to the device so I can boot the phone after doing the HTC dev relock or get the phone to show up in adb devices while in the bootloader/fastboot usb screen?
Thanks!

you'll have to use fastbootusb in bootloader or remove card from phone, use your computer to put the PG13IMG, On your card then put back in phone and boot into bootloader

I've tried this, but after the phone recognizes the PG32IMG.zip when it goes into the bootloader, it loads it and then nothing really happens and it just gives me the options like fastboot, recovery, etc (all the normal options). I know before usually it loads and then asks if I want to proceed with the update. Using an older version (Froyo RUU) it said main version is older, but after downloading a gingerbread one, it just loads and then never asks to update and gives no error. Am I doing something wrong here or using the wrong PG32IMG file?

When you get the options try scrolling to fast boot and selecting that.

Tried this with multiple PG32IMG.zip files and a message briefly flashes something about incorrect or missing zip file. Anyway I found an old CWM backup of a stock Froyo setup and since I was still unlocked from HTC Dev's tool, I restored to that, relocked from htcdev unlock, then ran the vivow downgrade script followed by revolutionary's s-off. Working rooted/s-off with MIUI 12.9 and aeroevan .7 bfs kernel!

[Q] Unlock Bootloader Wildfire S

I successfully rooted my Wildfire S 510e but still with S-On and then installed Cyanogen Mod7; I subsequently needed to get the network unlocked so I got the appropriate SIM unlock code and that works. However, every time the phone is rebooted I have to re-enter the SIM unlock code which is annoying. So I looked around and other users suggested I reinstall the stock Gingerbread ROM. I followed the instructions which included relocking the bootloader and then running an RUU.
The bootlocker worked but the RUU failed although the phone still works OK but when I select the Recovery option there's no menu just a red triangle; if I then hold the volume up key and the start button a restricted menu is displayed e.g. install a zip file option is not available.
I've tried the HTCdev Unlock Bootloader but that fails because the Cyanogen ROM doesn't match the expected stock ROM in the RUU.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to unlock the bootloader with Cyanogen Mod7 installed?
2. Can I get the full Recovery menu reinstalled?
Any other tips appreciated.
Thanks

If you have installed cyanogenmod 7, then you have probably unlocked the bootloader and installed the recovery.............if the recovery doesn't show up, try flashing it again via fastboot
And NO, I won't tell you how to because there are countless threads on this all over the forum
