Desire frozen on htc screen

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my HTC desire.
I was running Leedroid for more than 6 months and everything was fine.
Yesterday morning, my phone went battery-dead and then when I started it plugin-in to the power socket it turned on and got stuck at the HTC screen.
I can enter bootloader (I guess ?) by pressing power + back but then I don't know what to do (I have a white screen with several menus I can browse with vol up/down) ?
I also tried going with a RUU (RUU MoDaCo Version: 1.15.405.4) and it does detect my phone but won't finish.
Is there anything I can do ?

Why won't it finish?

No idea, it doesn't say.
I believe my phone is soft bricked, I can access hboot and fastbood so i'm pretty sure I can do something about it.
I read something about a unbrick thing you could launch from fastboot ? But can't find it.

Try to flash this ruu:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
Boot phone in fastboot mode and follow instructions on the screen. Does it give you any errors?

Everything goes well, it does the sending part then gets stuck at signature update:
ERROR [132]: SIGNATURE ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android Phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
Click 'Exit' to quit.

FYI I tried to create a gold card but adb devices doesn't return anything so I don't know if I can create a goldcard.
fastbood devices does return something though.

Adb will run only if adb debugging is allowed, so Booted state or recovery state. In fastboot mode, only Fastboot will run. Have you overwritten recovery yet? If not, you flash another rom. If yes, are you S-Off? If so, you can flash an Hboot/recovery in Fastboot mode

You cant flash custom roms from fastboot
You can flash recovery, and each of the .img files included in the Clockworkmod backup folder, but only if you're S-off. Apparently you're S-On (Security on. For S-off, Alpharev should have been used)..
Were you foresighted enough to make a gold card? If you hadnt, you have to find the RUU you successfully flashed last, or the RUU corresponding to the region of your device and brand.

Making a goldcard is the solution. And you can get the CID from any Android phone.

You definitely need to create a gold card. To create a goldcard see this: http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/ho...th-ubuntu.html
It is in unbutu, but maybe you can sort it out. Have a look.

OK I now have a goldcard: took a friends phone (same phone, same carrier) and put my sdcard in there and used modaco's tool.
Now the next step is to install a valid RUU for my region, right ?
If I do so it seems to go past the last error but gets stuck at
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
Thanks

Hello ! I tried using a different RUU (the one suggested bu MatDroid: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed) and it has -almost- worked !
The update went until the end but now my phone boots and reboots after a couple of seconds (not fixed: sometimes I can go to unlock my simcard, sometimes a bit longer ...)
I'm getting desperate everytime I think I'm making advance there something new.

Now what ? I'm gone back to the original state: frozen on HTC screen
I tried re-running the RUU (this time the latest I could find: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe)
Everything goes well, it says it is successful but then it reboots and gets stuck with HTC screen

Hey guys, went to the bootloader and erased all data. This time for some reason it rebooted fine and now the phone seems to be working.
Now I would like to have some advice:
- What can I do so in the future I have all I need for recovering ?
- I already have a goldcard
- what about the recovery ? Should I install something ?
- I liked leedroid, so thinking of going back to 2.5 what do you think?
Thanks for your help you re the best !
EDIT: well I thought it was working but here I am again. Reboot after reboot. This time the first one happened after 15 solid minutes and now it reboots every 30 seconds I barely have the time to enter my pincode ...

Anyone has an idea ?
I've found a way to stabilize my phone, which is by not putting my SIMcard in, but not sure how long it's gonna take before the next reboot.
I don't know what to do. Was thinking in downgrading using teppic74 tool but everytime I download it I get an error: corrupted file.
Can't see the end of it.

Guys, in the end I re-did the whole process: use RUU then delite data in the recovery and it seems to work.
I guess those RUU don't always work fine the first time.
Thanks to you all for your help

[Q] Stuck on S-Off Screen

Hi, i've been using LeeDroid for a few months now and all has been well, however yesterday my Desire turned itself off and now won't come back on. Each time i try and power it up it freezes at the Alpharev S-Off screen. I went into the menu's with volume down + power, but i can't get into my recovery - it takes me to the same frozen screen as does trying to reboot etc. And i don't think it's being recognized by usb either. So i really don't know what to do now.. is my phone bricked? I was a complete noob before rooting and flashing a custom rom before, so now that i've hit a problem i'm clueless all over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated

can you use fastboot? If so just flash a new recovery and all should be fine... chill out it can be fixed

What would i need for that? That's going into new territory

Can you access recovery? If no can you access bootloader (vol down + power on)

I can get onto the menu with the options 'fastboot, recovery, clear storage and simlock' if that's what you mean? The recovery option takes me back to my frozen alpharev screen, but i can get onto fastboot and after reading around i can get my pc to recognize it from fastboot usb from my pc using cmd.. Am i going the right direction at all? Eek. What i don't get now is the recovery image i'm supposed to use

Use amon_RA ... Download and flash onto ur phone and ur phone should be fixed
Plenty of guides around man, good way of learning fastboot

to use fastboot you need to download several things. Instead of using fastboot with cmd, I'd just recommend using fastboot commander, which does the job for you. In order to use that however, you will need the adb drivers, and Java SDK.
Once you've got all that, simply boot into fastboot, run "fastboot commander.exe", go into the "misc" tab, wipe Recovery, system, cache, boot, and userdata. Once you've done that download recovery, navigate to the "Hboot, radio & Rec" tab on fastboot commander, select recovery, find the recovery.img you just downloaded, and flash it. Once you've done that just boot into recovery and install any ROM you want.

Thanks for the replies guys. I did what you said to do (using fastboot commander), and when trying to boot into recovery to install my ROM it froze again at the alpharev screen. I'm stuck again now. When the files show up as you turn on into fastboot, i'm getting this..

www.alpharev.nl download a HBOOT and flash it through fastboot. Just make sure to check MD5 (you need a MD5 utility AFAIK)

I'm not sure which one is the right one for my ROM, i'm using LeeDroid.. Sorry for all the questions!

For any sense UI ROMs you would use the Sense HBOOT, remember to nandroid backup before you do so! because you might find that you get a bootloop after flashing the HBOOT.
And don't worry about asking questions! it's what we're all here for.
By the way if you don't know what different HBOOTs do: they change the partition sizes for /system /cache and /data. So by using a different HBOOT instead of the stock one you may get more storage for apps etc. if you choose one with a larger /data partition.... if that makes sense

Ok the sense one it is =)
Ah i see! Thanks for explaining cos underneath the nerd in me would have been wondering what it did lol.
Not sure how to get a nandroid done when i can't get into recovery though

I still havn't got anywhere with my problem, if anyone could advise me further i'd really appreciate it, as this is really stressing me out now.
The only screen i can still ever see is a frozen alpharev screen, and i still can't enter recovery. I've cleared everything using fastboot commander and flashed a new recovery which did nothing. Then i took the next advice and flashed a new hboot. The hboot has changed on my hboot menu (vol down + power) but still goes to the frozen alpharev screen when i try to go to recovery or turn the phone on. I then flashed a LeeDroid rom, which came up with an error at the end of it..
"sending 'zip' (173060 KB)... OKAY [ 23.469s]
writing 'zip'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
And that's as far as i've got.
Reading further i've been trying to work out how to flash a stock ruu to see if that works. However my phone was a branded Orange UK phone before so there is no ruu for that. So my question is, bearing in mind i can't get into the phone at all, how can i go about downgrading the hboot and installing a htc stock ruu. Can anyone point me to the right files i would need. I really don't know what i'm doing and i think the amount of searching i've been doing is just confusing me further

Hi.
As I can see the only way to restore is using a RUU to go back to stock then root and S-Off the phone again.
First: Preparation.
1. If you have a custom HBOOT (e.g.: 6.93.0001) you need first to flash the HBOOT Downgrader (found on alpharev site), then flash the RUU.
2. You will gonna need a Gold Card if your phone was branded.
Second: Starting
1. Make your Gold Card using someone's else phone (it has to be running Android) - the Gold Card is unique per SD Card, not per phone.
2. Use this tool to make the Gold Card: HERE
3. Guide how to make a Gold Card in Linux: HERE
4. get the latest RUU WWE 2.29.405.5. Extract the PB99IMG.zip file from the RUU: here it is how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 -2nd post.
5. Reboot in bootloader (Volume-Down + Power)
7. Select fastboot
8. Flash the HBOOT Downgrader (don't forget to check the MD5 of the file you have downloaded from alpharev)
9. Extract the PB99IMG.zip and put it on root of SD Card.
10. Reboot in bootloader (scroll to REBOOT and select)
11. It will automatically load the img and ask you if you want to install
12. Check Yes and follow onscreen progress.
13. Wait untill it finnishes
14. I think it will reboot itself, if not scroll down to the Reboot obtion and press Power button to select.
IMPORTANT WARNING!!!
droidzone said:
Whatever you do, DO NOT turn off the device manually unless the software tells you to. If something goes wrong, dont switch off phone. Keep the phone on while trying a solution. Newer RUUs dont usually wreck a phone, and with a goldcard, you can always recover. But, the flash SHOULD NOT be interrupted by switching off or disconnecting the cable.
Always start with a battery with >50% power (full recommended).

Or if you want to go to stock and it is an unbranded phone you can just run ur ruu when the phone is in fastboot

Think i may be the happiest girl in the world today lol i finally got it all fixed. I had a bit of trouble making the goldcard as at first my sd card kept saying it needed to be reformatted after, but after formatting it with SD Formatter program rather than Vista's own, it worked. All the rest went without a hitch. Now just gotta root, s-off and grab my new ROM and this past week can all get forgotten about =)
Thankyou so much to everyone that helped!

Can you turn phone off? If not take out the battery and reboot into recovery and restore nandroid backup if you made one. No need to revert to stock you can just go back to your previous good ROM.

Well... When I go to the recovery mode i got a red triangle... and cannot install any zip file, just update.zip.

try unrooting with RUU

Where I can find these RUU to unroot my phone?
And how I choose the right RUU to use?

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo All* RUU's available are here, you should match the RUU as best you can to your network or region. If your phone is unbranded try the latest WWE RUU.
*I think
EDIT: didn't see any Orange RUU's there (Just OTA updates). I'm not really the biggest expert/ fan of unrooting/ using RUU's. Lol someone else get in on this.

Yep! You are right there's no Orange RUU.
And I tried those RUU:
- RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed
- RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
- RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684
- RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704
- RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_FR_1.21.163.2_Radio_32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2_release_126985_signed
Until now none of them has worked. I got always the same Error 131, costumer ID error.
I also tried the OTA_Bravrange_CH-FR_2.22.71.2-1.19.72.3_P_release8xcr7nx2a68060l7, rename the file to update.zip and install in recovery mode, but it didn't work.
I will keep trying those RUU... But it doesn't seems to work...
What else can i do??

emm.. you could try extracting the rom.zip and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip and placing it in the root of your sdcard.. but I'd get some more advice first, unrooting & using RUUs isn't exactly my specialty.
Get the latest WWE RUU (you'll need to find out which one this is I don't know)
To get the rom.zip (would post the guide but I can't find it)
1. run the RUU and don't click next, just leave it on the first screen (put it to the side somewhere since it's always on top and will get annoying).
2. Go to start and click "run", or press the windows key and "R". In the dialog box type in "%temp%" (without quote).
3. sort using date (if you hit the little down arror, and select "Today" it makes your job a lot easier), and one of the temp folders will contain all the android stuff, and the file you are looking for is called rom.zip
4. grab the file and put it somewhere where you can remember, rename to PB99IMG.zip (make sure you don't name it PB99IMG.zip.zip since windows does that sometimes for some reason)
5. Put in the root of your sdcard, and boot into bootloader. You will be prompted to install.
But again before you do this get someone elses opinion on this. I don't want to be responsible if something goes wrong.

Thanks for helping bortak!
In the end, i just found my Goldcard, put it in my mobile and used the last WWE RUU.
And everything is fine now!
Thanks again man!

[Q] HTC Desire Bravo PVT1 badly bricked. Unrooted and S-ON

Hi everybody, first of all many thanks for a great forum. I have found it very useful in the past and never needed to seek help, but this time I am stumped and although I read pretty well all the threads on the subject I have not been able to solve my problem and I fear I have a paper weight on my hands.
My Desire does not boot up and stays on the HTC logo on a white screen for ever. This happened after a stupid and unresearched attempt to downgrade my Hboot from 1.03 to earlier ones with RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.20.771.3_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124822.exe.
The process worked fine but my Desire never managed to reboot and got stuck on the opening logo.
I can go into HBOOT USB PLUG and I can charge the battery (the led comes on and eventually goes green). The HBoot screen reads:
LOCKED (00W)
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 1.03.0003
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO - 4.05.00.11
Date 21 2011 - 20:44:09
I can do FASTBOOT DEVICES and get
HT06XPL00452 fastboot
but any other operation with fastboot always gives me:
FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes)
Does anybody know what this means?
I also tried:
** to rerun the official RUU but I get a clearly wrong message saying that the battery is below 30% charge and the program stops.
** several other RUUs with same result except RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_29_405_5_Radio_32_49_00_32U_5_11_05_27_release_159811_signed.exe which leads to ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR. I know the USB Hboot drivers are ok and are those I downloaded from XDA. Device manager shows "Android composire interface"
** select RECOVERY but it goes immediately into the white screen aith HTC logo and gets stuck
** select CLEAN STORAGE . When I answer "Yes to Delete all user data?" it confirms "clear..." and then gets stuck on the log screen
** select SIMLOCK and get
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Has anybody got any other ideas? Should I just give up and use it as paperweight?

Tried the 2.3.3 WWW RUU? Download it from shippedroms
research and use the PB88IMG.zip method, bortak's troubleshooting guide.

Many thanks eddiehk. The RUUs I had tried before came from shippedroms.com too but I cannot find any for the Desire (nor for the Bravo) with 2.3.3 nor WWW in their name. Do you have a specific link? I have just tried yet another one for luck but got the same result as before "battery less then 30%" which is not!:crying:
The PB88IMG.zip method cannot work for me as I cannot get to write to the system nor the sdcard as the phone does not boot up. I have read a bortak's guide, but it seem to be only for S-OFF setups and it also seems to be only for rooted phones. Mine is not rooted and it has S-ON.
Any other ides anybody?

"HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip" at the bottom
I meant "PB99IMG.zip" method sorry. It should and will work. It does not require the phone to be booted up. It only requires you to copy it to the root of the sdcard (use a card reader). Then boot into bootloader (volume down + power), wait a few seconds, then accept. All in the guide
Or search how to downgrade hboot 1.03 in these forums, I've seen it successfully done on a few occasions.

Many thanks again. Unfortunately I got no further. I downloaded the PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTCCN_CHS_CU_2.35.1402.5_Radio_32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17_release_163341_signed.zip file from the url you indicated. There were several PB99IMG... and picked one at random. None had the same radio as what was indicated on my Hboot screen by the way. Anyway given the lack of success I suspect it wouldn't have made any difference which one I picked. I then copied it to the root of the sd card using my PC and kept my fingers firmly crossed when I went into bootloader. After a brief moment I saw a subliminal message about checking something but could not read the rest. It then went back to the now very boring Hboot screen with the normal commands "fastboot;recovery;clear storage and simlock".:crying:
Then I tried to use the Universal Android AIO flasher and could see some messages. Trying to flash something in fastboot mode always gave this message:
"(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"
It does look like something is very screwed up on the internal card and might need a total reformatting. Is it possible or am I barking at the wrong tree?
LATEST UPDATE
OK, I am officially an idiot.
The reason why the .zip file did not work was that I had not changed its name to PB99IMG.ZIP. I did that and hey presto got it to reload the firmware,
As I ended up with a Chinese carrier version I would now like to change it again to a European version preferably a no carrier version. How can I find out which version to pick and which one is the latest version on the ShippedRom site?
In the meantime many many many thanks for all the help. It is so great to have this forum to help all the newbies like me.

@marco_bruzzone
You got a Chinese ROM version because you ignored my advice......
You get the "European version preferably no carrier version" by actually reading my previous post..................
I even quoted the name and location of the correct RUU to use..............

I am sorry for being dim, I reread your earlier posting and finally understood it. I will now try the correct .zip file. Thanks again

boot loop for no reason, unmodified phone

Hello,
I am no expert but i usually fix problems, however this one keeps puzzling me for a long time now.
I own a wildfire, not modded, not modified in any way. One day I open a qr code app, it decides to freeze, so i reboot. (i think i had to remove the battery) It takes about 15min to boot, doesn't respond to any input and then reboots and the cycle continues.
I have looked into several solutions for the problem, but all require me to turn S-off. But to do that I need to turn on usb-debug, but to do that I need a bootable image!!!!
At first i wanted to mod, tried revolutionary to turn off S, but doesn't work because i can't turn on usb-debug.
Then i wanted to turn off S the HTC way, where they send me the code needed to unlock it, but it said i had to first update the RUU and guess what:
"To install the RUU, simply follow these instructions: On your phone, enable USB debugging. (..)"
I do not understand what i should choose from the RUU download page, but if it helps i am from Italy. I tried the program and this is the output:
C:\Users\*user*>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.007s
I did all possible options the bootloader gives me: deleted all user data (losing most of my stuff i guess), I tried recovery too but it doesn't like the image. (which i have not touched or modified in any way)
specs:
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 1 . 01 . 0001
MICROP - 0622
TOUCH PANEL - ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO - 3 . 35 . 20 . 10

Hmmm. First off, have you tried to factory reset from recovery? If you boot into the recovery and then hold both volume buttons and power a usable menu should appear. Factory reset from there and reboot. See if that helps.
If not we turn our attention to your hboot. The error is because it is not updated enough to have that command. So we have two choices here. You can either upgrade the hboot, unlock your bootloader via htcdev and flash a custom rom. Or you could create a Goldcard, flash a ruu that has the same hboot as the one you have. This should fix your rom and enable the phone to boot again.
In any event you will need to extract the rom.zip from whichever ruu you choose. To do that have a quick google search for a guide but its easy enough. After that rename the rom.zip to PC49img.zip and place it onto your sdcard, boot into hboot and allow it to flash it. The golcard process should be covered in one of my downgrade threads or one of the others from this forum.
Post back here if your having and trouble or need a hand

Yes, i forgot to mention: i have tried all options in the recovery (red triangle thing) too (clear cache, factory reset) nothing worked, it says: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

To do this, i would need usb-debug enabled, so I think i cannot, but if there is a way please tell me!

To do this i will need a micro-sd adapter to put my card into my computer, i will find one and try it out.
I also read that i need the correct RUU for my carrier. I am not understanding very well what i'm doing, also no idea what a RUU is or where to get the appropriate one for my Hboot and carrier, any advice ?

All usb debugging is for is so that adb can reboot the device to hboot. If you google for how to extract the rom.zip from the ruu and then put it on the sdcard (after renaming it to PC49IMG.zip) and boot to hboot it is the same thing. Just without usb debugging needed.
You will need a micro sdcard adapter pal.

alright, after using the HTC dev method, i unlocked the phone, it still says S-ON but *** UNLOCKED *** on top, the HBOOT is now 1.02.000
after that i obtained the ClockWorkMod recovery img (i used version 5.0.2.0) and did in the terminal:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.img

good stuff pal.
when you are in clockworkmod recovery the controls are different. use the trackball to scroll and select. power button is now the back button.
I would recommend this custom rom as it is stable and has a stock vibe to it. just follow its install instructions and you should be good to go

Thanks, after many trial and error i ended up asking my hacker friend and managed to install cyanide mod.
However the same problem which i originally had persists ( it is very slow to boot (when it boots) and it doesn't react to any input, at this point it must be a hardware problem. This makes me very sad, i thought i saved it..

That suck man.
Hmmm. Slow boot times are normal on this phone to a certain degree. Usually 20secs to 3 minutes at first boot aftet rom flash.
Once the phone has booted up does the trackball still work? Could just be a damaged digitizer. They are fairly cheap these days. Look here http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/281644653982 and here http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/281644653982 fairly straight forward to install, but you could buy a used version of the phone for £30 minimum so its up to you
Edit: although, on reflection 15 boot time and constant reboots are not a good sign. I was hoping it was a software issue. If the trackball is functional you could go into settings, enable usb debugging and then get a logcat. That would at least give us somewhere to work from :-/

the trackball is functional because i can use it in clockwork recovery! but the phone doesn't react to it after boot, it's like it's stuck, i don't think the issue is the touchscreen, it used to work fine, it must be something else.
boot time is about 5-6minutes now, but after that it's like frozen, and after a couple more minutes it reboots. A big improvement, now the bootloop period is at least 70% shorter! xD

Lol! Well at least thats a plus :-/ theres not much else we can do here. We could try to enable usb debugging fron within clockworkmod by editing the build.prop and see if we can get a logcat but if the phones just locking up we might not even get one :-/
