[Q] HTC Desire HD bricked white screen on rooting

Hello to everyone
I have one problem regarding HTC Desire HD. The problem turns up after trying to downgrade ROM from :
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0027
MICROP-0438
RADIO26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-BOOT
SEP 7 2011,19:06:24
Gingerbread 2.3.5
I used aahk-13012012 to flash ROM but after starting the flash, mobile freezes in HBOOT and stay frozen so I shut it down manually removing the battery. In this process was written that the card was finished converting to golden card. Now when I start mobile it stacks in white screen with HTC logo and nothing happens. If I push volume down key and hit power, I have boot screen but I can’t control anything with up/down key or power button. If I remove SD card then it is possible to choose recovery, factory reset etc. but whatever I try result is not good. Sometimes goes like in recovery and ends with red mark on the screen. I tried to format SD card and put PD98IMG.zip in root of SD card but still nothing. I think while downgrading it finished only two points which were on display, I really can’t remember which first two were. Now HBOOT my screen looks like this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO26.09.04.11_M2
eMMC-BOOT
Apr 12 2011,00:55:45
So please if someone can guide me what to do and what is possible to do. What can be worst scenario, I lost my phone or there is a way to fix this ?
Thanks in advance

Your sdcard is not good....is corrupted, that is why it gets stuck in the hboot screen. Try using a different one and the hack kit will work as charm. Besides, the Hack Kit version u are using is not the lastest...
If you still are stuck then hit the IRC Channel....

Thanks for replay, I just want to ask you what I must do if I get new card? It must be golden card? Also what I need to do, is it enough only to put PD98IMG.zip in SD card root and boot again ?

just get a sdcard for the rooting process. You don't have to do anything but change the sdcard and re run the hack kit from scratch. your sdcard works ok for daily use but is not good for boot images....so you can lend one and after you are done give it back and use yours.

but how can I start rooting process if can't start the phone ?

you say that u used a PD98IMG.zip...where did u get that from?

I started rooting normally through command promt from my pc, after that screen goes to HBOOT and starting downgrade and stops. so I can't boot mobile phone anymore...everything I can do is press volume down power and see the white screen with information that i posted in beginning of this thread
after i connected SD card to my pc and looked what is on it, it was transferd PD98IMG.zip, later I tried to download some other version but still nothing

I have just sent you a PM

I have the same problem, but I didn't try to root or anything with my HTC DHD, everything just happened suddenly. I've got a notification about an update from HTC's Watch tool, I did update it. Later in the day I had to take out the SIM card. I didn't turn off the phone, I just removed the SIM card. When I re-inserted the SIM a few minutes later, the phone asked me to turn off the phone or reboot. I chose reboot. The system started up normally, but in SAFE MODE. I saw this for the first time. So I shut down the phone again and turned it on. But this time the white screen of death (that's what I call it) appeared. There is all the same info as to be seen like in the first post to this thread. I've tried to select one of the four options but my volume keys don't react. Sometimes it reacts, but sometimes not. I managed to go into recovery mode somehow but it didn't help. I just got a red exclamation mark. Pressing volume up and power button showed me up some more option, like wiping data cache etc, but it was not possible to select any of them because the volume keys don't respond. The only responding key is the power key, and as the reboot option is highlighted, I can only reboot and the same procedure is starting over again. The phone is in this situation for two days and I don't know how to fix it. Any help in this case?

How can I reinstall Android?

Hi,
My phone stopped working after installing an app that might have contained some malicious code. I cannot get the phone into recover mode as when I boot up pressing the down or up volume button I cannot select anything.
When I connect to my computer using USB, I can use the fastbook command from the Android development kit, and reboot the phone normally. When I do this, all I can see on the screen is HTC is big writing. I can never access the SD card directly either.
During a normal boot, the phone says it cannot find a few files and hangs in the boot menu.
Anybody got any advise?
Thanks in advise.

can you post here what is your device information: hboot ver., radio, marvel/c/ct and other information which will help?
P.S. you don't need to write thanks, there is a button under my avatar

I had the same thing happen a few days ago... it was a PAIN to get my phone back to life!!
I was installing some fonts when it froze... then no matter what i did, it got stuck on the boot screen.
So... what worked for me was... turn phone off (which for me the only way was to take the battery out), take SD card out, put battery back, restart phone to bootloader (vol down+power). I had previously installed clockworkmod on it, so with that i could revive the phone.... BUT could not put the stock rom back on it, have tried different versions... so i'm using a custom rom (WildChild Sense) now... which BTW is much better!!
Oh and if your phone flashes this screen for a sec or two (see attachment) you don't need to worry about it, it has nothing to do with anything.... mine is working fine now and still get that message.
Good luck!

I have downloaded RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M
it detects the phone, says that my image version is 3.13.0.0. and that it will be updated to
3.13.405.1, starts updating and stops some time after with error 155
I have also downloaded correct p98img.zip for my radio, it flashes ok from recovery when i put it on sdcard.
Does anyone know why did the device lock itself ? why I can not unlock it again ?
Some say that these error messages in clockwork mod are because of faulty emmc chip.
Is there some hope for this phone ? Can I restore it to stock rom, just as it was....
Please help

same problem here

Relock the bootloader and use AAHK to root, S-OFF & SuperCID (SIM Unlock)
Sent from another dimension...
thanks don't hurt ya know?

But my bootloader is already relocked ? it says s ON

S-on means else. You can detect whether your bootloader is unlocked or relocked on the top of your boot menu. But I guess AAHK won't solve your problem, because if you have the same problem as me, your phone doesn't boot up, so you can't use AAHK.

You are getting better bub
Problem with htc dev method, you need to flash the boot img instead of the way we explain the flashing process in the threads.
What guy said is right. Relock the bootloader. Im not sure if you have to flash a ruu and then use the hack kit to get s-off or just use the hack kit.
Search the forum. This issue has been covered plenty of times.

Ah, now I get it, my bootloader is unlocked because thats what it says on top of the recovery screen :
*** Unlocked ***

So i have to find out how to relock the bootloader.
Where to find boot img ? I have downloaded the p98img.zip but it only has the radio.img
If anyone has some directions please help... Meanwhile ill search the forums

Open the ROM zip file, in there is boot.img; use that

I did use the wwe ruu , I mentioned that on my first post.
I used one for my radio :

It says that my image version is 3.13.0.0. and that it will be updated to

Take a break, don't start trying things without being sure what you are doing.
Ok, so you relocked the bootloader.
Im not sure what the next step is, if you have to flash a ruu or not. Do a search, check what the next step is. Come back and report.
I can't remember if you have to flash a ruu or not or if there was anything else involved before running the hack kit. Im going to try and find something after I've had some coffee. In the meantime search and report back.
Sent from a dream.

I will allso search the forums.
I have not relocked the bootloader, I am currently on my job and I can not do anything till I come home...

Up to this moment, I have figured out that I have to pull out the rom.zip from ruu , and rename it to p98... and put it in the phone.
but how to lock the bootloader ....im still reading about it...

'To relock, just boot to hboot and choose fastboot.
Plug the phone and You should see fastboot USB in red.
Open a CMD as admin or terminal as root in the PC
Type: fastboot oem lock'
great here is info how to do it via adb command, after that I will get the rom.zip from temp folder of the ruu which i used and try with that....

Yup, sounds like you are heading in the right direction.
Sent from a dream.

I will try that tomorrow.
Only thing I can not figure out is, when I tried to update it via ruu from windows, it gave me error 155, why would this method via recovery work ?
I hope it will ) but i'm a bit worried about it ...

flash recovery from hboot: impossible!

Hi,
I tried to Flash the recovery CWM from hboot with the PD98IMG.zip file.
I renamed the file of recovery, I formatted the sd card and put there.
I rebooted into hboot but the message that I release is this:
"model id incorrect!
update fail!
press <Power> to reboot
the phone is in off, but I bought it already so, so I don't know what they used to do it.
I tried to use different tools and using fastboot but I failed to Flash recovery nor custom nor other ROMs.
These are the data:

does anyone know if I can reset the phone in extremis in S-ON through this flash ruu or know why can't Flash the recovery via hboot with this file?
on the page of recovery for now leaves out android system recovery.
Thank you

You could try an Engineering hboot, that seems to solve some issues like this, after all, eng soff is for fastboot flashing to enable, just make sure you know what you're doing when you flash the bootloader.

Bricked HTC Desire?

Hello!
I have recieved a "bricked" phone today and I want to try and make it work.
The problem I'm encountering is pretty strange to me so I'd be glad if someone could help me. I've seen a few topics here but they are either outdated or they don't solve my problem.
First, the phone boots into a 4-exclamation mark in corners screen. I've tried to run fastboot oem boot, or fastboot reboot-bootloader but it did not work.
When running fastboot oem boot, the HTC logo on white background appears and the phone vibrates a few times. I've attached the fastboot getvar allbelow.
Code:
C:\Users\FX>fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.02.0001
(bootloader) version-baseband: 5.11.05.27

Can you run the 2.3.3 ruu?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Free mobile app

I tried to run it but it gave me an error and it reports Radio_V2: Fail-PU which seems to me a radio brick. I'm trying the freezer trick right now.
The freezer trick seemed to work, I succesfully flashed 2.3 update. Now the phone is in a boot loop. Any ideas?

Haven't seen a radio brick in a while.
You either try to flash the 2.3 RUU a billion times hoping that it will eventually flash the radio, or change the motherboard.
I would personally recommend looking for a new phone.

It now says that the 2.3.3 RUU has flashed successfully which seems pretty strange, it's still in bootloop.
This is more like a personal challenge for me, as I am in love with HTC Desire Bravo (I have 2 more) and I really want to make it work.
I can get into bootloader now.

Now the phone only boots into the 2.3 ROM if I leave it in the freezer for a while. It does boot normally but after 2-3 minutes it restarts. I guess this is a motherboard fault, isn't it?

Hehe, the good ol freezer trick. This thread reminds me of the old days. @jmcclue
Yup, overheating of the motherboard . So yeah, as I said, replace the motherboard. I don't think you can find desire motherboards though.

Well, I got the whole phone completely disassembled. I opened out the metal box over the GPU and CPU and cleaned everything with alcohol (99.7%). Still not working. Guess I can't do anything more, though I enjoyed doing this attempt to repair it.
