[Q] Desperate need for help with rooting/custom rom - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I'm in desparate need for help . I don't know what is wrong .
I'm using htc desire z. I 've followed the guide of cyanogenmod to downgrade from gingerbread to froyo which worked out fine .
I then tried to root it with visionaryplus which didn't work, therefore i removed it and even made a factory reset.
I decided to follow the guide again from cyanogenmod for rooting the phone (can't post the link because i'm newbie)
I've done every step with success, and in reboot i can see S-OFF. But the only options i have are hboot, fastboot, and reboot options. BUT i can't choose anyone of them. The buttons volume down/up won't work and it just start checking the zip file and asks me to update again and again.
Therefore i can't unlock bootloader. I have tried everything , even a tool easyunlock but nothing works because i can't get into fastboot. Also there isn't a recovery option. I'm desperate because i can't even update back to gingerbread. The version supplied by cyanogenmod is asia region(probably because there language Thailand,Pakistan etc) whereas the last rom i have the stock one was european and i'm stack with it. I have tried upgrading it from the official htc site numerous time i always get an error about the model.
I also get connection problems with android market, i get the message "no connection".
Please if someone can help me i would be most grateful. I just need a functional phone at this time so if a custom rom isn't possible if someone could help me get back to the stock gingerbread i would appreciate it because at this point i'm out of ideas. I'm angry with myself because i can't figure out what i did wrong. The command prompt gave me only success messages. Something is wrong with the bootloader i suppose.
Thanks a lot everyone and sorry for the long speech

Take the PC10IMG.zip off your SD card, use fastboot to flash a new recovery if needed. Lots more info about your phone and how to root properly etc here

Thanks for the response.
The problem is that I can't select any of the options . It just boots into hboot without letting me choose the options. Pressing volume down or up doesn't do anything

Try booting to bootloader without SD card in phone

Drop the fake flash update.zip on your SD card, boot up holding vol down, select recovery, once in the red triangle hold vol up + press power, choose to apply update zip.
That will get you into recovery, you can flash from there.

Here is a link to the solution to this problem;

This is the bit about restoring sdcard access;
Also, SD card functionality has to work. For this, do 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' in fastboot mode.
How did the OP go, have you managed to progress with your problem mate?

[Q] Desire Z Rooted or not?

i have purchased a 2nd hand desire z from someone, i noticed it has clockwork and rom manager installed, i think it also has super user rights. I also noticed that the rom is Virtuous 1.0.1. Thinking this meant that the phone was already rooted, i used rom manager to download and install CM7, however it caused the phone to be semi bricked, then i also realised that the phone was also S-ON.
Fortunately i managed to reboot the phone into CWM and restored the previous image, so now the question is, what is wrong?
PS. new to this whole android thingy..
hmmm... sounds like MAYBE you had a temp root?? Is you had superuser you definitely had some form of root, however, i am not sure you can flash a new rom if you dont have S-off (but i could be TOTALLY wrong here)
I have an Evo (and dont have this temp root issue), but i am helping a friend with a similar problem with his G2.
Can you get into recovery? (while phone is off, hold the volume down and power on the phone) If you can, do you have Clockwork recovery or stock android (says 3e at the top i think)?? If you have CW, just enable USB, download a CM7 through your computer, put it on your SD and flash it. SHould be good to go.
If you have stock recovery and S-on.. WELCOME TO MY BOAT... I am trying to find a solution to this for my friends phone. If i figure it out, i can let you know (please do the same??)
I am having the same problem, with the same rom. I can use all root apps, but it says S is ON? I can't put any other rom on my phone with out it going into boot loop or just staying on, HTC screen. Some one please help us, I know there are many phone guru's on this site. Any help would be over the top. O-yeah and I can not get the wifi to connect either says error or turns it self off after scanning? Please please please help. Thank you in advance.

[Solved] Bricked HTC One X (International)

Hi guys, well I'm a new HTC One X owner and I just jumped ship from the iPhone. I had jailbroken my iPhone several times with only minor problems in the past so I thought I'd give it a try on the One X. Unfortunately, I think I've really screwed something up and now when i boot it up, it vibrates and then hangs at the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. So here's what I did:
I downloaded Hasoon2000's HTC One X All-In-One v.1.1 kit. I followed the instructions and as far as I could tell, everything worked fine. The bootloader was unlocked and I was able to root the phone. However, after installing a couple of apps which all crashed when I tried to run them (it made the phone restart), I decided to do a factory reset and do it again. So i held onto the power button + volume down and went into the Bootloader and tried to reset it which then took me to the CWM 5.8.4.0 screen. I then did the factory reset there which led me to where I am now.
Could someone please tell me where to proceed from here to bring it back up and running normally again? As you can probably tell, I know next to nothing about Android so I would really appreciate some patience and step by steps. I've already scoured Google looking for a solution but I could never understand what people were talking about. If you need any more information to give you a better diagnosis, please let me know and maybe tell me how to find the information
Thanks a lot people, any help would be much appreciated!

Sorry, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not sure exactly what you mean. By that, do you mean did I install a non-stock OS? If so, then the answer would be no. I did flash the recovery with CWM 5.8.4.0 but I have a feeling that, that's not what you meant.

Thanks a lot man! Could you...please tell me how to do that? I saw a few threads discussing soft-bricks and they suggested downloading some stuff and then plugging the phone into the PC and typing some commands into cmd. But when I connect my phone into my PC i get no response, even when I'm in the Bootloader screen.
And also, does it matter which version of the official firmware i get? I saw people mentioned RUU files but it had to match my phone's version. Does this have anything to do with that?
I believe you should just plug the phone and run your factory ruu and that would do it and bring the phone back to stock.
Heres where u can get the ruu, am not sure whats the codename for the international hox but i think this is it. Please make sure you are using the correct ruu for your phone.

You should probably read up before trying this again. If you can hold the power button and volume down. It should bring you into a menu. You should press the volume down button until fast boot is highlighted and then press the power button to select it. Download htc sync and install the drivers. Go to the one x development section and download the ruu for your device. Then run the ruu.

Thanks a lot for the responses guys. That link you gave me says that they are ROMs for Endeavor, is that the same as a ruu? And also, how do i figure out which ruu is right for me? I'm in Switzerland and my carrier is Orange but I see several ruus there under orange but none of them are for Switzerland and there are even different version numbers. In my current state, is there a way for me to find out which version I need?
By the way, when I try to connect my phone to my PC in fastboot mode and open cmd prompt and type in "fastboot getvar cid", i get "'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." If i click Fastboot on my phone and then HBOOT whilst plugged into the PC, i get a few lines on my phone saying that it "Failed to open USB master mode" and then "please plug off USB".

okay, I didn't realise I had to install fastboot on my PC. So i just configured it following the directions here: http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/2153...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
and now when my phone is hooked up to my PC and i type "fastboot getvar cid" into cmd prompt, i get this:
cid: None
finished. total time: 0.004s
So what does this mean?
Download an app from the marketplace and see what that comes up with. Also go into settings about phone software information then software number. What is the software number?

My phone can't get past the opening splash screen, you know where it says HTC Quietly Brilliant? It just stays there, so I can't go into marketplace or check my settings,
You are going to need to find out wich ruu version u need. I dont know how carriers identify themselves on europe. After you identify it get into the bootloader menu get on fastboot and the open the ruu you downloaded the software should do everything by itself. Btw if you do this your going back to stock that means no root no cwm or wtever you had your going to have to do everything again but at least you got the phone working. Once you identify the ruu you need i would not download the latest version just in case the carrier fixed the root method or something. Again i dont know much about how europe works and how bossy carriers are about rooting/unlocking bootloader. You can try asking on that same thread for the one you need. Someone elsr might have an answer. Good luck.
Ps. Am not sure if you are going to need to relock the bootloader in order for the ruu to run. Can someone shed some light on this?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Btw before you do that have you tried getting on the recovery??? Can you get on cwm?? If u can do that i believe there no need to flash the ruu instead just flash a different rom maybe??? Did you get to make a backup before this happened??
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Thanks a lot joker96. I can get into CWM, so how would i flash a different rom? Unfortunately, the only backups I made are of my personal files and apps, I didn't think to backup anything else.
What were you trying to do that made all this happen?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Oh derp sorry I completely forgot. You would download a different rom and follow the guides on the thread to install it. Wipe davlik cache, cache and data. Try ARHD.
Sorry, i didnt read the first post completly. So you did a factory restore wipe on cwm, am i correct? You didnt clear cache and dalvik?

Well the thing is, I'm not 100% sure what I did. First I did a factory reset on CWM and everything worked fine, but when my phone rebooted, I realised CWM was still there. What i wanted was to go back to square one, as in no recovery and no root. So i went back into recovery and wiped some other stuff, and that's when this happened. I know, I'm a total idiot, I don't know what i was thinking
Yea a different rom to what you had maybe that one had problems. ARHD is Android Revolution HD any other rom would work though. Just pick one from the development section.

Well i just took a look at the ARHD thread and I'm stuck on the second line of instructions: "Download "Super Wipe" script & place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)"
I have no access to my SD card, when i plug it into my PC, nothing happens because all i can do is go into recovery and bootloader.
Just a question, if I try to use the wrong ruu, what would happen?

[Q] Desire HD Not Booting (Flashing Orange LED)

Hi Guys, hoping someone can help me:
I have a Desire HD that has been rooted with S-OFF, after flashing a new ROM, the device wouldn't boot, when trying to start the device up, it will vibrate 3 times and flash the LED. If I try boot into recovery, it vibrates 5 times with a flashing green LED.
At the moment all I have is ADB access (no fastboot) and can't boot into the bootloader screen.
Through ADB I was able to reflash the recovery using the flash_image tool and I can boot into recovery by connecting the USB cable, I have flashed a few different ROMS through recovery, but the device will still not boot after this, I'm thinking the issue might be the radio image, which I have not been able to flash through flash_image (get -1 error code when trying this).
Any suggestions on how to proceed or what to try would be much appreciated, I'm also not fully clued up on what all can be done through ADB, so any suggestions on that front would also be appreciated.

Thanks for your response.
I have tried running RUU from the PC, which I got from here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
The utility gives an error saying it cannot connect to the device, does the update utility not require me to boot into the bootloader to work?
I also tried downloading a few of the RUU zips there, but so far I haven't been able to flash them, just get an error "Can't to open <Filename>.zip (bad)", however I have checked that the zips are not corrupt, and I am able to flash other custom roms, not sure why it fails on these.
I also tried a bit with AAHK, but couldn't get it to flash anything, I put the custom rom in the folder as per the instructions, but it failed... perhaps I'm doing it wrong? maybe a bit of a walk through on how I would just flash the ROM through AAHK would help.
When you rooted phone did it say if its s-off in hboot. Try entering hboot. Power phone off then power up phone holding power button and volume down button at same time. If you can enter hboot and it says s-off get the rooted stock pd98img zip which also includes radio. Place on root of sd (no folder) power back up into hboot and let it do its thing. Volume up for yes when asked to install power button when asked to reboot.

Yip, my phone was rooted with S-OFF a good while ago, only got the issue recently after flashing a new rom. I can't get into HBOOT, when I try, it vibrates 5 times and flashes the green LED with a blank screen.
Sounds like your bootloader is messed up and not the radio. Search how to push the bootloader img.
Edit: sorry I'm on way to work or I would help you search. But I know there is a thread how to fix bootloader since you cant enter hboot which sounds like its your problem. You need to fix the bootloader. Do a google see what comes up from xda.

Ok, thanks, have looked around, not found anything yet, but I'll carry on looking and see what I come up with, appreciate the help.
Any luck with this. I'm in the same pickle. Running JellyTime and it just stopped working. Will not boot, and recovery mode just flashed amber light. It is an android desire hd.
I would say that its a fried emmc chip, if that isn't the case (I doubt) you can use a JTAG and a riff box to recover the phone over OPST, the equipment needed can be quite costly, so taking it to a mobile repair shop that does jtagging, should work

Didn't manage to get the device working unfortunately... seemed like the issue may have been hardware related though, hope it's not the same for you and you get it sorted.

Bootloader relocked on its own now wont accept token

So i unlocked bootloader and did not compete rooting process and when i went to finish, the phone had relocked itself. Now it will not let me unlock it again. I flashed the ruu provided in a post on this site and reset everything and tried again. Nothing.
When i flash unlock_code.bin it says: sending unlocktoken (0 kbs) and that's it, nothing more. When i finally disconnect usb it says fail. Error too many links
I am having such a difficult time with this phone! Any suggestions out there??

I must've tried it 20 times with the same results.
So I copied my files to a flash drive and packed em on over to a friend's computer running windows7and bam first try. Must not like my ol xp system.
Do I'm unlocked and flash the twrp recovery and follow the steps power this forum and when I go to install the htc dumlock files it installs and then I reboot but when I enter the app tray to install and run dumlock it says program quit working and closes down so I can't update binary.
So at this point there I'd no WiFi or 3G and I'm forced to run RUU to rest phone cuz my dumb A$$ forgot to backup after installing twrp:/
What should I try to install or what steps should I take next?
Thanks in advance for the advice!!! Much appreciated
I dont think you have to RUU your phone at this point. Just do this.
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686 and download the version for HTC one V,
download downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
and downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
move both of these on your SD card
Restart your phone without connecting it yet to the PC in bootloader, you just shut it down, and then you press volume down and power. in the bootloader menu select the 1st option FASTBOOT. you should see in red text FASTBOOT.
Plug the USB cable in the phone and FASTBOOT should change to FASTBOOT USB. open All In One tool and select upper right option Flash Recovery. TWRP GSM (if you use PrimoU) or TWRP CDMA. (For PrimoC).
If the recovery is succesful you can select now in the fastboot menu to go to recovery. in recovery select install and flash those two files to install the Switch User (superuser in this case) and...that should be it. please let me know how it works, im not very good at this either but that's how i did it every time and it was 100% fail safe for me.
Thank u
Thank u very much, it worked perfectly!
Now I found the rom Im gonna try out, can u explain to me what is meant by flashing the rom and kernel and gaaps? This is my first root evall these terms and such confuse me and sepecially which mode to be in,if debugging needs to be on or off... learning rapidly tho, thank u
Ive decided to try Black Jelly btw, any reviews or xperience or suggestions r apreciated

i'm too lazy to help you out... and you are too lazy to search it out... there are TONS of "how to flash your one v" in our threads... search for them - either here on Help and Troubleshooting or in General.
You copy the kernel on your desktop,put the phone in fastboot USB mode and in the all in one tool select flash kernel, browse to the kernel needed for the ROM you chose (make sure to read the threads for the Roma very well so you can learn about bugs they might have)
You need to copy the ROM and the halls (google apps) on your Sd card. Reboot in recovery, select wipe, and use only the following options: wipe cashe, wipe system, wipe dalvik, reset factory. I hope I remembered the names well. Now go to install and flash the ROM, like you did with superuser, and reboot the phone, the first boot can take up to 5 minutes so don't worry. After it boots conpletly you can go again in,recovery and flash gapps. I recommend that when you flash things, to do a reboot betweeen each program. Also, there's no need to use any of the wipe option. Wipe is only for when u change the ROM good luck
