I am facing issue that my mobile shows HTC white screen when loaded then shows olleh logo and then restart again & do the same process. Sometimes after 10 - 15 tries it starts and again give force close error or restarted when sense interface loaded.
Any help will be appreciated.

Do you know how to get cid number? I guess that there is.no ruu for you phone, so your best bet is to create a goldcard.

The CID was actually to try to see if there was a RUU for your phone. Unfortunately it is not. So, now you have to create a goldcard. For it you will need another android working phone and an sdcard that works as a goldcard.

I have a question
I have created goldcard to the best of my knowledge via process mentioned beneath.
But still I have S-on on HBOOT of desire hd
Process:
Have 2 GB Sd card & 8 GB Sd card. Tried both.
1. Format SD card by placing it in card reader. (tried with both FAT & FAT32)
2. calculate CID i.e. 1b534d303030303010073d25b400a9b2 for 2GB card
3. reversed it i.e. b2a900b4253d071030303030304d531b
4. replaced first 2 digits i.e. b2 with 00. gives CID reversed 00a900b4253d071030303030304d531b
5. Copied it to http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard and generated goldcard.img file
6. Putting card into card reader and connecting it with computer via USB slot.
7. Open Hxd editor. Open Removable drive under Physical Disk with unchecked Open as Read only.
8. Open goldcard.img file from Open Disk image.
9. Copied all offsets of goldcard.img window and paste write it on Removable Drive Image by selecting offset 00000000 to 00000170,
10. Saved edited Removable drive image.
11. Removing and checking whether card is still readable.
12. Putting it back into mobile slot of SD Card.
13. Entering in HBoot and still getting ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
If I am missing something kindly help.

Goldcard won't make the phone S-OFF. Just will let you flash any RUU and avoid the CID signature failed. But you haven't flashed a RUU, so nothing changed.

So how do I know that Goldcard process is successful or not. Should I have to flash RUU to confirm whether it is successful or there is another way.

When you finished patching the sdcard, you should enter that drive with no errors at all...but that is not insurance of anything..just a good sign.

Successful in loading my mobile with holding vol down key when HTC logo appears.
gives forced close error several times but loaded.
then enabled USB debugging and successfully installed aahk for Desire HD.

In my sig you will find the 2.3 RUU for the Desire. Download it, then put the PB99IMG.zip on the root of your sd-card (Like, not in a folder). Then boot in hboot, and select yes. Your phone should be stock.
Make sure you have stock hboot.

First, from recovery, do a backup, just in case. You know how to do that right? (Enter recovery, select backup, wait)
Just to make sure, download the PB99IMG downgrade from here:
http://alpharev.nl/ (It's the last one in the table)
If you have an sd-card reader:
Put it on your sd-card, then boot in hboot, then select "Yes".
After that, delete the PB99IMG.zip from your sd-card , put the RUU PB99IMG.zip (I know, it's confusing, but stay with me), boot in hboot, then select yes again.
In case you don't have a card reader, then you will have to flash the downgrade through fastboot. Check my sig how to set it up. In this case, extract the .img from the downgrade pb99img zip, open cmd, connect your phone in fastboot, open CMD, and type "fastboot flash hboot <img path>". And then put the RUU PB99IMG.zip on your sd-card, boot in hboot, and select yes.

Recovery opens in clockwork mode, does that make any difference?
And don't i need to wipe data and cache? Just make backup, instal that downgrade and then instal that RUU and that's all?

Clockworkmode works. Just backup.
I explained everything like for a newbie, like you said in the title
Yeah,, that's all you need to do.

As you said, that's really confusing. Ok, thanks, i'm trying to make it now..

Boot in hboot and select yes, but there are no yes to select when i enter hboot it just says:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
Maybe i just i need to install that downgrade zip file from SD card in clockwrokmod recovery?
Sorry

Are you sure you have the PB99IMG.zip (renane it if it's not called that way) on the root of the sd-card?

Well, yes..

Weird. Then flash it through fastboot.

And after all that if it will works my phone will be unrooted? And android will stay in the same version or not?

You will be unrooted, but then you can very easily root using revolutionary.
You will have android 2.3.3

When i enter hboot and when it reads zip file on sd card it writes that there are no img file or smth
hope you still have patience for me

Thats the message telling you that it didn't find any pb99img.zip on the root of the sd-card.
Again, are you sure that you put the exactly named "pb99img.zip" outside any folder on your sd, and that you have the correct one?

that is weird.. Well yes, name is exatly like yours and i just pick that zip file on my sd card not in any folder on sd
on boot it says:
SD checking...
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!

i took my other sd card, formated it and now it works, so i'm going to instal it, hope it will be fine...

download this file attached (downgrade.img) and put it on ur sdcard (not in a folder) boot into bootloader, volume down + power then bootloader will find PB99IMG and ask u to update, volume up for yes. then just follow abaaaabbbb63 instructions or what ever it is ur trying to do.

I have a white pvt4, too. Try to use AmonRa recovery 2.0.1

So you can't install a recovery? How do you install them? Try getting the 4ext recovery PB99IMG.zip image in my sig, and install it. Instructions in the respective thread.

Put the PB99IMG.zip on your sd-card (outside any folder), then boot in hboot, and select yes.

Alternatively, power off your smartphone.
Install the fastboot and device drivers and attach the USB from your computer to your smartphone.
Hold the volume-down button and power on to get into HBOOT.
Then simply use AndroidFlasher or another utility to flash a recovery image. You can take this opportunity to flash your ROM as well.
Also, I'd suggest using either AmonRa or 4EXT Recovery for your device as some users with the MICROP firmware version 0.51d have reported problems with using CWM.

Put the PB99IMG.zip on your sd-card (outside any folder), then boot in hboot, and select yes.

This is known error for some sdcards just backup the sdcard format it pop the file back into the root of the sdcard and try again you will find that it finds it right away. Sometimes when we partition our sdcard the phone can get confused about where to look for these files and it can miss them easily if you do as i said i can 100% guarantee it will work for you hun xx

[Q] Victim of 5.07.651.6 update - BOOT LOOP + No Access To The Recovery Mode ! HELP

Hey Guys
My Story started from 6 days ago when i wanted to change my battery , the device now is keep restarting on White screen ( HTC EVO 4G ) and hangs whenever i press the recovery mode in bootloder menu .
I Almost tried everything and only successfully unlocked the boot loader finally using --->([HowTo] Unlock Bootloader And Root 2.3.5 HBOOT 2.18 ) "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755 but no chance to S-OFF the device and replace the whole ROM "
i can't root and downgrade the phone because all "bootloader: 2.18.0001 " methods need either active debugging mode or recovery menu which is not accessible !
i have access only through the fastboot - Hboot USB or SdCard .
I have tried almost all version of RUUs and it failed , says " bootloder version error " or " the main version is older "
PC36IMG Downgrade to the 4.67.651.3 which is last available version from the sd card also failed says " the main version is older "
here is the Fastboot info

by the way i figure it out that i may be able to trick the htc and change the txt file called android-info.txt inside the PC36IMG for the " Main version is older " ERROR but Unfortunately i have no permission to edit or modify my stock ruu Rom "PC36IMG " that i extracted from last available RUU version for evo4g "RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3_Radio _2.1 5.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed" .
Any Idea Please ?

You need to install a custom recovery, which can be done from the bootloader. Search for Smelkusmod recovery here and follow the instructions on how to install it. Afterwards you can install a custom ROM
Edit: Here is the link for Smelkusmod recovery

Once installed, place whatever ROM you want on the root of your SD card. Then you can enter recovery from the bootloader screen and flash the ROM.
I also suggest reading Hipkat's guide which can be found in the link below.

Two things, either you have a bad partition or your recovery is gone. Easiest thing to do would be to load a custom recovery onto the root of your SD card and make sure the file is named PC36IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension or it won't work). Make sure the phone is powered off, then hold down the power down & volume buttons until the bootloader opens up. Hopefully the recovery will load and you'll be prompted to update. Just follow the on-screen instructions. Also, make sure you don't have any other PC36IMG's on your SD card.

many tanks for reply xx . . .the only thing i remember aside the changing the battery was that 1 day before this happen, i removed my sd card to recover some accidentally deleted picture using RecoverMyFiles software from my computer . . . i also tried loading a custom recovery and yes i certainly ensured that the file name is PC36IMG and formatted my SD card before transferring the file . . . i also tried different SD cards ex: 2gb - 4gb - 8g etc ! All those steps you just mentioned is carefully done ! and the result is that the device skip the update from the sd card says : no or wrong image !!
aside that i have upgraded my recovery to" recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.2-supersonic " and "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3 " and many other available recoveries through the fastboot since my bootloader is unlocked !
but the thing is nothing is loading after all those updates !!
the only thing got my attention was that when i update those custom recoveries the device would hangs after choosing recovery from the bootloader but if i use the 5.07.651.6 version original recovery the device would keep restarting !!

i was able to loaded it successfully through the fastboot method and the device hangs after i press the recovery from the boot loader menu as i expected

You need to download the .img file, not the PC36IMG.zip
Once you get the .img file, do the following (connected to PC in fastboot mode)

fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name.img>
The recovery has to be in the same directory as fastboot though

Yep , i've tried " recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.2-supersonic " "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3 ""_ra-supersonic-4.2-smelkus-mason " and many more custom recoveries too from the fastboot command ---> ( fastboot flash recovery example.img ) . . . but whatever except the stock recovery image would result to hang the device on recovery mode . . . also it will boot loop on its own stock recovery !

Same Problem!

I purchased an HTC Evo 4G from Ebay and the hardware is perfect. My problem is exact same. Found out this thing has the 5.07 update and there is no RUU to restore it and can't go backwards with S-ON!!! Can't get S-OFF without booting as this thing won't go into recovery or boot at all. I did however **Unlocked** the bootloader and that is as far as I get. I even re-locked it to try all the RUUs! I develop roms for this device so I know what I am doing! Keep getting replies to flash custom recovery which I already tried all of them and unfortunately it will just bootloop instead of recovery. Even tried 'fastboot boot (recovery name) and fastboot flash recovery (revovery name)....Need someone to get into a RUU and modify it to by-pass the firmware version check if possible! If I can get this to boot into any rom, then I can fix this!!! Come on devs, if we can port-in beats, bravia, and all other device ports, we can solve this!

You need to relock and apply the signed firmware zip from the latest OTA. If that's the software version you were running, it *should* get you booting again.

Here's that file, if you can't find it elsewhere: http://d-h.st/3yF

Nothing working...

Cool! Thank you for your input. But I put this thing aside in my computer store for awhile... I will try this zip today.. I did re-lock the bootloader before I posted earlier though and already tried re-installing the latest last known RUU but same issue... In fact, I tried all RUU available!! Also, if I can only get into recovery I can fix this thing. Hope this zip helps... Question, how do I apply this zip file if I cannot get into recovery in the first place? I'm quite sure the seller of this Evo did the latest OTA update before it crashed in middle of it and got this reboot loop in the first place. Is there a way to slipstream the extracted images of this zip into the latest RUU in the appdata hidden file while it is running on windows? lol - sorry for all this but this issue is crazy!!! NOTE: Don't get the last security OTA update for this thing!!! It's a SECURITY UPDATE alright.. LOL!

You flash the zip through HBOOT, not recovery. Rename to PC36IMG.zip (exactly), place on sd card in no folder, and choose yes to apply update once the bootloader reads it. Again, make sure you relock first, and then hopefully the device will boot. If it doesn't, it may be normalized to the point that you can unlock and flash a custom recovery and it actually stick.

Issue continues

I tried just this, relocked and renamed, after a few seconds in Hboot, it gave several lines of 'no image', then a final 'no image or wrong image', went back to normal Hboot.
More info on my problem here.

I'm kinda have similar issue... I pulled my old Evo from box it has a-off ... When I booted up it went to home screen then just shut off by it self.. then kept bootloops .. I then tried to get to recovery it boots to HTC logo and bootloops too... I tried ruu it will still bootloops .. the reason y my phone died was because battery inside phone was bulky that's y it started.. got new battery still same problem... I'm thinking maybe ramdisk got messed up.. I can go to bootloader but that is it... What can it be? I mean if there is no solution I have another Evo I never rooted and still works...and also have Evo 4g lte. My back up phones just in case if something breaks

If it boot loops after you tried a RUU, then you have bigger problems and probably need to swap to one of your backup phones.

[Q] USB broken, cannot flash rom using TWRP

Hi guys,
I have a HTC Desire. My USB port is broken (no money to fix) so cannot connect it to my PC. I have TWRP as recovery, but it wont install zip files.
e:unable to create updater file in /tmp/updater. There is currently no OS loaded. Is there any way i can install CWM at startup like a .bat file or something when i switch on the phone.
Please, please help me. Phones are expensive in South Africa
Thank you so much

Hi, thanx for your quick response. it is really much appreciated.
Yes I am s-off. ok, I copied the zip file to the sd card, restarted phone "back button+power button", (vol button+power button does not work), vol button down to recovery, and the phone restarted. But now it does not get pass the htc logo.

It then extracts something
Then it says something like : no image or wrong image
Should I leave it here? or should I get a different image?

Yh sometimes u need to format ur sdcard aswell before it reads it.
Theres a guide here in desire general and "how to partition sdcard correctly" read that, im sure abbbbaaaab explains mount2sd aswell. Worth a read.
