Did I brick the phone? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to downgrade an old t mobile g2 phone with stock 2.3.4 rom installed and I got stuck at the attached screen. Is there any way out of this? The phone is now hanging at the htc logo...

need to make a goldcard. follow guide here (dont skip anything)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

Thanks, but what should I do now - I can't use adb - it says "device not found". Can I reboot the phone and enter the adb shell?

So you can't use adb and you can't boot into os?
Without this or a custom recovery you will need to use fastboot to flash an ruu that is newer than currently installed ROM/firmware
Go to HTCs website and find the latest ruu
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then flash rom.zip here
But its strange you would loose os from the looking at the pic you uploaded, at what point did os stop booting?

Ok, I just rebooted the phone into the OS. I had obtained a temp root before I restarted. Should I start from the beginning of the guide you linked to (obtaining temp root again) or continue with changing version number and making a goldcard. Thanks a lot indeed.

Temp root is probably gone after the reboot so you should just start over to be safe
Let me know if you get stuck!

[Q] Bootloop, bricked

Hey, i unlocked the bootloader, flashed a CWM (That does not allow me to mount my phone storage to the PC), tried to flash 2 .zips (the Remove menu thingy, and the SuperSU V.0.87) and when i tried to do that it went in a bootloop(or bootstuck? gets to the "HTC One X - Beats Audio screen, and never gets any further) WHAT DO I DO? Help me please!
Hi, i did exactly the same thing and...i got the same result ....Please, anyone knows how to solve it???????
I am guessing you didnt take a backup in CWM prior to flashing the mods? If not, unfortunately, your only solution would be to bring it back to complete stock and flash the RUU that originally came loaded on your phone.
1) Flash stock recovery:
Grab it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579797
Then Boot in bootloader >> Fastboot and issue the following command (assuming that the offical recovery is named recovery.img): fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2) Relock Bootloader:
Boot in bootloader >> Fastboot and issue the following command: fastboot oem lock
3) Find and run/flash the RUU for your device, find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
Thanks!!!!! thank to you I managed to unlock my mobile
Can't really tell you what worked, i flashed my RUU but it failed, i tried flashing stock and all that (which i put on there beforehand as CWM can't mount the drive), but in the end it was just persistence that got it, so just keep trying!

I think the Menu removal caused bootloop. I don't have my PC with me if someone can upload the stock Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk you could replace that to boot it back again. If nothing works then download one of the Custom ROM (ARHD or LeeDroid) then wipe everything and flash that it should work for you.
End to unlock again?

You should have received a code from HTC when you unlocked, check your email for it. Then you place it in file with fastboot on computer, open cmd prompt, type in fastboot oem unlock and it should unlock.

RE-Lock your bootloader.
Easiest.
Just enter fastboot on your phone then use command prompt and write:
cd..
cd..
cd \fastboot
Then connect phone to cable then type:
'fastboot oem lock'
Edit: Phone must be in fastboot mode before connecting.
And then you will be able to update easily.

now not able to do ota which has just arrived in india
Help anyone. have relocked thephone now what. tried to do a factory reset from bootloader menu nothing happens .how do I get the phone back in condition newly bght. even clockwork recovery seems to have gone..this is so disappointing
You didn't need to lock the boot loader. Unlock it using the method you used when you unlocked your phone.
All you need to install the ota depends on what state your device is in before you start.
Are you on the stock from or a custom from?
If stock with unlocked boot loader and clockwork mod recovery then all you needed to do was flash the stock recovery reboot and do the ota.
If you were in a custom rom you will have needed to get back to stock from the nandroid backup you took, flashed stock recovery, and stock boot.img. Then reboot to stock and do OTA.

How to sim-unlock my rooted DHD?

Hi dudes
Recently I unlocked my DHD with HTCDev method and flashed JellyTime ROM.
Now, I want to perform a sim-unlock but I don't know if i have to reinstall my stock rom...
Is there an easy way to achieve it?
This is my system configuration:
HBOT-2.00.0029
RADIO -26.14.04.28_M
carrier: Vodafone ES
Thx in advance
U will need to make a goldcard to sim unlock ur phone or debrand it. Use the advance ace hack kit (AAHK) from ATTN to sim unlock ur phone make sure u read the effron manual provided with it. Search for ACE think tank in the development section I m sure it will help.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
Finally I called to my carrier to obtain the sim unlock key. It's not necessary to go back stock rom.. I tested with another carrier sim and ask me to enter the unlock key.
Thx for your answer.

If you get the unlock code there is no need to use any tool. Bootloader does not need to be relocked as it has nothing to do. You will only need a sim from a different company in order to get the network prompt.

i placed custom rooted file which was mention to put into root of sd card,i did that then ran HBOOT it showed me parcing [PD98IMG.zip] and goes it automatically don't know what to do next!?
Then i placed PD98IMG-1 file into subfolder of PD98IMG and run that aahk2.cmd but it still says no such file found. did format sd card twice. things that one sd card is from kingston and another one unnamed,in both it showed me PROBLEM PROBLEM PROBLEM!
1) either memory card not mounted
2) you sure charge cable is in chargemode? or data sync mode? check it?
such type of error i found. i gave up literally......can you find a solution for me?
Thanks a lot in advance.

the AAHK2 script will make your phone to process downgrade first then re run a second script for full s-off..and before you do it all that..you must have a branded sd card that already mentioned in the thread..
step :
1. if you had sense rom then you must set disable of Fast boot first from settings> power
2. you must enable USB Debugging on your phone under settings>development>usb debugging (check it)
3. you must installing latest HTC driver..you find it here..
4. you must install SDK or ADT to support adb & fastboot command..you can download from here..
5. if SDK or ADT already setup..you can connect your phone (just charge mode)..then open cmd from your pc..then change source directory to Platforms tools directory..sample if you place the SDK or ADT folder under "C:\" drive..then the command might be "cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools"
6. test adb connected.. type "adb devices", if adb success detected your phone then there will be prompt with serial number of your phone at list of attached device
7. if adb success detected your phone..then you can continued to type "adb reboot bootloader" that will bring your phone rebooted into bootloader..
8. in your phone bootloader you must choice FASTBOOT..then type in "fastboot get-var all" this will show your info about the CIDnum of your phone..(check it In the line "INFOcidnum ......." , copy that to notepad before closing a cmd..
9. find the right RUU required by AAHK that matching with your CIDnum for downgrade process..you can find it here..and place it in PD98IMG sub folder from AAHK2 folder
10. disable your antivirus..then running AAHK2 script as administrator..then follow instruction for downgrade process first..then continued running the second time AAHK2 script for full s-off process..
11. flashing RUU that already rooted and modified by Phiber2000 to fix gps..
12. DONE
note : if you had prompt "PROBLEM PROBLEM PROBLEM" while running AAHK2 script..then might be problem under USB debugging on your phone..try disconnect usb then disabled it first and enabled it again..then try connecting again with your pc
hope this can help..sorry for my bad grammar

Of course. Just flash recovery using command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and u are ready to flash rom. The example of recovery.img is cwm recovery which u can download it from their website. As you are s-on, u need to flash boot.img contained in the zip files of the rom that u flashed everytime u flash a new rom. The command is fastboot flash boot boot.img. When u are writing the command, make sure ur device is connected in fastboot mode.

Hello there, I have latest cwm touch recovery installed in phone,previously i guess 5 or 6 differant roms i have tried before making device factory sim unlock.
Just wanted to make sure i won't lose sim unlock if i change the rom.
Thanks once again...for clearing my doubt.

Help stuck on bootloop!!

Man, Ive really screwed up now... I didn't back up the stock ROM, tried to root her phone using the HTC Sync method described here.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted, but still have S-ON. I have HBOOT ver 0.98, by the way.
Then after installing a Cyanogenmod 7.2 ROM through ClockworkMod Recovery (no errors there), the phone freezes on boot at the white screen with green HTC letters.
I tried flashing another ROM (several actually), but they all do the same thing. Freeze on the white boot screen, doesn't matter how long I wait.
So in an effort to get it back to stock, I tried flashing a stock RUU through the bootloader, and I get an error "Main version is older!". Checked my version through "fastboot getvar all" and the main version on phone is 6.01.605.05, so apparently I can't flash anything less than that. The latest version RUU that I've been able to find for download is 5.10.605.9.
Im fairly new to this, but I don't think I can use ADB commands without booting into the OS, is that right?
So in short:
-unable to boot to OS
-can't find a custom ROM that will boot
-can't use ADB commands to downgrade HBOOT or get S-OFF (or can I somehow?)
-can't flash an RUU because my phones version registering higher than anything I can find on the net
So does anyone have any ideas?
Calm down, did you flash the boot.img through fast boot?
To me it looks like you didn't, flash your rom open the rom on computer take out the boot.img and but phone in fast boot then enter the following command
Fastboot boot boot.img

Yes, I tried but it keeps failing. Do you know if my phone has to be unlocked before I flash the boot.img? Also, I am still s-on and don't know how to get s-off from a 6.01.605.05. I am stuck in bootloop and can't get into recovery only hboot/fastboot. Will the Roms you mentioned work with s-on? Should I try flashing the boot.img, system.img, and recovery.img from one of those roms?

Any rom will work as long as you flash the boot.img from that specific rom

Had the same problem
I had the same problem and flashing the boot.img does work. Make sure your fastboot and boot.img are in the same folder and and you hold shift and open command prompt from there. Also make sure your drivers are working properly. After you flash your boot image to you phone the clear all data/cache/davsik and then instal cyanogenmod!

Hey pal first off, this is the wrong forum. This is the old wildfire forums not the wildfire s. But I shall help you out none the less
Since your phone is hboot unlocked but not s-off you need to flash your custom roms boot.img via fastboot just after you flash the rom via recovery. When you download the rom it comes in a zip file, unzip a copy of it and place the boot.img in your fastboot folder, then copy the zip to your sd card and then flash via recovery. Once it's flashed boot into hboot by using advanced reboot options I think its called. Then flash the boot.img using the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Where boot.img is the name of the .img you took from the zip file (just in case you have renamed it and don't know why the command is not working)
Then do fastboot reboot and the phone should boot up okay. You need to flash the boot.img for every rom change that you do. Also should you decide you want to run a RUU you must relock you hboot or it won't run.

Okay so, let's recap.
You are on a custom android rom.
You have a custom recovery installed.
Your cannot flash the RUU as your run version is higher than the RUU.
Lastly you cannot boot into your custom Rom, or your recovery?
Do you want to return to stick it get a custom Rom flashed?

at this point i just want to get pass that white htc screen i am sick of it
Q: if i flash a system via fastboot successfully will it automaticly erase the old one because i tried to erase it but it said remot controle not allowed (S-on)
ok, ive requested this thread be moved to its correct forum.
before proceeding can you tell me when your htc wildfire marvel was made? after 2012?
can you flash clockworkmod recovery and then try flashing a custom htc sense rom
Then reboot back into cwm recovery (by selecting advanced/ reboot-recovery in the menus) and plug the phone into your computer via usb cable. open up your command prompt and move to your adb folder. type the following commands ( a # denotes instructions and should not be typed into the command window)
Code:
adb devices
#this should show your device up, maybe saying its in recovery mode
adb shell
# the command prompt should change to a # symbol
Now make sure you have a sdcard in the phone and then run the following command
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
This should leave you with a file called misc.img on your sdcard. Lastly
Code:
exit
exit
exit
your command window should have closed. now upload this file to a online storage system like dropbox and send me a pm with a link to it. I will edit it and you can flash it back, this will relock your hboot and downgrade your software version so that RUU's will work. then we will run a RUU, returning your phone to stock and functional state

can you flash clockworkmod recovery and then try flashing a custom htc sense rom
Then reboot back into cwm recovery (by selecting advanced/ reboot-recovery in the menus) and plug the phone into your computer via usb cable. open up your command prompt and move to your adb folder. type the following commands ( a # denotes instructions and should not be typed into the command window)
Code:
adb devices
#this should show your device up, maybe saying its in recovery mode
adb shell
# the command prompt should change to a # symbol
Now make sure you have a sdcard in the phone and then run the following command
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
This should leave you with a file called misc.img on your sdcard. Lastly
Code:
exit
exit
exit
your command window should have closed. now upload this file to a online storage system like dropbox and send me a pm with a link to it. I will edit it and you can flash it back, this will relock your hboot and downgrade your software version so that RUU's will work. then we will run a RUU, returning your phone to stock and functional state

Hmm.... Okay reflash twrp and see if it boots up. Without a recovery your options are limited. You need to be careful as your device uses a different kernel from older versions of the wildfire s. If you flash a older RUU version it will kill your phone.
Do you have any phone unlock shops near you?

Make sure when you go to the unlock shop you make sure they use an XTC clip http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/Unlocking/xtc_clip.htm
If they don't have it then do not pay for an unlock. You need s-off not SIM unlocked. Make sure to ask for it. Once your S-off you can run any RUU and fix the phone but check in here first so I can ensure that its compatible with your 2012 edition of the phone ( as I said flashing one that is too old will kill the phone!)
