Recovery menu? - Hope for USB bricked phones?

Hold Vol Down + Power and goto recovery.
When you get the red triangle push Vol Up and Power and you get a blue recovery menu that looks like this
(I didn't have an update.zip on my sdcard...)

Tried it a couple of times, but it seems to be just as restricted by the desire locked system as when we use fastboot...

Try flashing a stock rom from the recovery and see what happens. Maybe it will solve the issue. Wipe everything first.

Still it may be useful somewhere down the line...

right ... actually if the found a way to signed something correctly it will be more "user friendly"

If we could sign something correctly (meaning, with HTC's release keys) there wouldn't be a USB problem in the first place because we would be able to change the SPL.

I suggest you read the notice from jcase... I'm guessing you were runiing gb?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

you ruu was too old - this version doesn't have the required drivers for SLCD.
That means, you phone probably does work, but the screen is black.
I don't know how to solve this (probably by flashing the newer RUU, Version 2.29....) exactly, but hopefully this gives you a clue where to look for a fix.
There were many people experiencing this after Froyo was available. They did the ota-update, then noticed, that it wasn't possible to root with the new bootloader (Version 0.93ish) at that time, which was installed along with the froyo-ota, so they tried to downgrade back to 2.1 and ended up where you are. (bootoader .80 instead of .83ish).

Probably the easiest and safest way ist to boot into fastboot although you don't see it and flash the newsest ruu,
so:
1) make sure, phone is off (i.e. pull battery and put back in)
2) push and hold "back" and hit power.
3) wait 30 seconds or so, to be on the safe side
4) connect phone to pc via usb
5) run RUU on PC, version 2.29.405... (RUU, not OTA!)
And make sure to have some juice in your battery

Here you can get the RUU:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Its on >>Shipped Roms<< , 7th from top.
btw. am I assuming correctly that your phone is unbranded?
btw2: Do it all on your own risk. I'm trying to help, but I dont want to be held resposible, if something goes wrong, so maybe wait for someone else to confirm

how do i know that?
can u please stick with me... i will try to do that now
i apriciate your help... i think that nothink worse can be done to my phone, so i will try

did you see any provider logo during startup? Or any preinstalled apps or bookmarks which point into a provider's direction? Where did you buy it? And did you need a goldcard for rooting?
if you answer is no on every question, you're probably not branded.
Did you write down the version number before you did anything to your phone (when you have a .405. in your version number, your phone is definitely not branded).
Edit: but I really recommend to read the linked thread. My device is unbranded amoled so I never did any of this myself (apart from running a RUU), so always think twice before following my steps

no. You have booted into recovery before, didn't you? Now you do the same but use "back" instead of vol- , because you want to boot into fastboot.
All I wanted to say with this 30 seconds is to give it some time to boot into fastboot, thats all. Press and hold "back", press "power", release power, wait 3 seconds, release "back", wait 10 seconds and plug in usb, start ruu.
Thats all I wanted to say with my previous post. Sry, if it was confusing

what will happen if the phone is branded?
can i unbrand it?posebly not? cause its bricked ight? :/

no.
10charrrrr
If it is branded, you get a cid-error, so ruu wont finish. But your phone probably isn't branded, otherwise you would have come across problems during flashing custom roms or/or radios (-->goldcard). And because this doesn't seem to be the case, your device is not branded.
When the RUU is done, you phone is completely back to stock and you can do whatever you like to it...

[Q] things that can brick your phone

can flashing a cwm recovery brick my phone?
how about TITANIUM kernel?
ps: every thing is stock on my one v

Hi
Actually those things cannot "brick" your phone.
In the worst case you can always apply the RUU to get it back to stock.
Only really "stupid" things can do this
e.g. Power Failure during RUU or pulling the USB plug during flashing

max

RUU = Rom Update Utility
which is HTC's way of distributing updates via the pc, also you will find a list of most of the RUU's available for this rom in the development forum (it's a sticky) which will help you revert to stock.
read this thread, might answer some future Questions

Install a set cpu frequency app - you will find links to some in the titanium kernel thread
Set what you like - apply on boot - ready
regards
max

Ok so for someone like you who is new to kernels let me put it this way, Titanium kernel enables your phone's processor to perform faster or slower than in your stock, to customize the speed you have to use an external app.
i use this...

P.S: Overclocking too much is harmful for your phone so do not set it too high.

Repeatedly press power button when you fail to enter fastboot mode. If you do this, you are most likely to get a blank screen and QHSUSB_DLOAD error when you plug it into pc. if you get this error,your phone is hard brick and the only solution is phone replacement. To avoid this, you can install fast reboot or similar app as soon as your phone get rooted if you want to enter fastboot mode/recovery.
Better late than never, but never late is better.

[Q] Pls can someone help me? Flashing new radio

HI, i've been on here all night trying to flash a new radio but after 3 hours I am pulling my hair out.
I have htc desire hd with cyanogenmod 7.2.0.
My radio is old so I downloaded PD98IMG as I don't have gps and it needs updating anyway. I've been searching around and I cant even get into bootloader?!
Maybe I don't have s-off?! If so I can't even get it?!
Please can someone PM me, I'll even pay you to help me!! I need a fresh pair of eyes and someone who knows what they're doing.

ok..you never install a PD98IMG file in recovery unless you want to mess your device. Boot the phone normally, go to menu>settings>power options and untick fastboot.
Then power off the device and turn it on by pressing power + volume down

I don't have the "power options" option.
Nothing special happens when pressing power + volume down. It simply reacts to my pressing of the power button and offers me the usual shut down, reboot, silent, aeroplane mode etc.

Haha, thanks; I needed that. I've been in a grumpy mood recently. Sorry...

Apologies Glevitan, I can get into hboot now. I did miss the power off bit first.
However I can't press up volume as its broke and has been for sometime.
Tried to follow the guide http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...astboot-flash-radio-modem-using-fastboot.html
but it just says waiting for device and has done even before I worked out how to hboot.
I tried just loading hboot on its own to see what happened and when i load up the hboot it just says do I want to update radio v2 and I can't select yes (if that's what I should do?)

So if your vol up button is broken,i think u can't flash the radio unless your device is ENG S-OFF which can flash the radio via fastboot...

You can use the adb to reboot to bootloader. Just go to terminal, cmd whatever, type "adb reboot bootloader".. And you can flash radio using fastboot command.. But you need to be s-off.. I am not sure whether it is possible to flash radio using shipped hboot. I think it is possible. But better to wait for glevitan to clear things up. :good:

My advice is that you fix the volume rocker first. If you get stuck flashing a radio and your rocker is messed...then you might get stuck in the splash screen...

It broke a while ago. I bought a new rocker and glued it on. The glue set and stuck, disabling the up volume button only. I won't be able to fix this now I've ruined it!

[Q] Rooted One X overheat and hard reset itself

I am not sure if anyone experience this but then again my phone is rooted. I was just browsing around the internet and it started heating up, next thing i know the phone just shutdown and all kind of error popout then it just hard reset by itself where I had to set all the stuff again. But after a while all those error kept popping out again and now I can't even do anything anymore.
Pretty much it just get stuck with HTC logo & beats now, I still can access the recovery menu. Trying to find the right RUU file and which I am not sure myself now where to download or what to download.
The phone CID is HTC_044, I remember using the latest update available and so on. Any idea what am I suppose to do now? I was looking at the nandroid copy from this thread and downloaded my but I have no idea how to use it

seems like it is stuck at the htc logo now... and back to square one. Should I claim for warranty?

This is the second time it factory reset by itself now, so like I don't think this is an software issue

After noticing the overheat problem seems to be commen, I bought myself a S3 and might actually be happy with it. I mean like leedroid is no more around, htc service is not available in my state plus I got to wait like almost a month to get a board replacement or the whole phone. I am gonna sell it off lol.
Then again thanks a lot for the help :good: it made me choose wisely now.

Oke ...
CASE CLOSD !

Just wanted to inform the rest about my warranty status, finally got my phone back but.. it is being recond :laugh: I gave htc service center a call last Thursday and was inform that my phone was on the way back to my city. Best part was, the operator didn't know what did they do with it lol
Attached the repair report and seems like they even added a dent to my top left? I was using otterbox defender since I gotten this, not too sure how that dent was created but then should not have been around while i was on still using the phone before it just died on me. Then again a free hardware upgrade to 32gb for this phone sure did make me happy.
Not too sure what to do with this phone now, some how I don't feel like selling it so might just switch around with my sIII once in a while lol
