Bootloader working but can't load recovery mode to restore ROM

Hi all,
Hope someone can help, I have a desire HD that has some issues.
Long story short the phone was acting up and was flashed with a non official ROM. It was working originally but after about a week it started acting up, with apps force closing, phone crashing altogether etc.
I am trying to get the phone back to a state that Vodafone in Australia will be able to warranty the phone in.
The current situation is that when the phone turns on, it'll load straight to the bootloader/hboot. Recovery mode does not work - it dumps you in to fastboot menu and fails to load.
System restore from boot menu does not work either, and there is no rom at all so USB debugging is a no go, and there appears to be no way to flash the ROM.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Use adb / fastboot to push a new recovery to the phone (I hope you left USB debugging enabled).

Sadly no USB debugging doesn't seem to work. Makes the sound that it connects to the computer and that bootloader states its connected by usb however it doesn't seem to phone is connected. Any other ideas?

ooh i tested it in my DHD and don´t works...how can be possible that don´t works adb parameters, but fastboot commander works perfectly??
maybe we have anything that works badly in our PC´s.. i´m in it...
ei crystal!! has you tested with FASTBOOT COMMANDER? if you download it you can flash a new recovery from this tool... its intuitive...
you only must to download the tool
download the recovery (lastest CWM in the DHD android development forum)
put the file in the paragraph that says "RECOVERY:not file set" and then push FLASH IT"".maybe you enjoy...
remember to put your device into boot loader

How did you check to see if adb shell can see the device?

Run an pb98.img from the bootlaoder

adb get-state
result:
unknown

Code:
adb devices
But this does depend on you having previously ticked USB Debugging option before you had all these problems (no way to check now without being able to boot the phone).
If this fails you may have to try the previous suggestion of putting a PD98IMG on your sdcard then going into fastboot on the phone.

Currently there is no Rom on the Phone. Just put PD98IMG.zip on the SD card which seems to be updating. Does it normally take a while to Update all the Sections?

Can take anything from 5 to 20+ minutes.

Seems to be taking ages to even get past [1]. Is that normal? Hasn't done anything. It says "Updating" yet I'm still yet to see it get past "[1] BOOTLOADER"

Just to confirm...
1. Turn phone off
2. Put PD98IMG file onto ROOT of sd card
3. Use vol- and power button to get to Fastboot
4. Scroll and select Bootloader (HBOOT)
(might automatically do last step when you boot phone)
Phone will show a message to say it is looking for the file then unpack it and install.

Confirmed dude. Doesn't seem to be doing much though. It has been stuck on "updating BOOTLOADER". It has trying to update it for more then 30mins now
It has a big list of 12 things it wants to update however it hasn't moved past the first file "BOOTLOADER" in over 30mins.

Did you confirm the MD5HASH of the file before putting it on the card?
Could you put a link to where you got the file from please?

Thank you.
Are you still connected to the PC? If so disconnect and try again.
Did you confirm the MD5HASH?
Have you got another SD card you can try? If not, reformat the current one and put the PD98IMG file on it again and try again.

The Device fails to even turn on now dude. Thanks anyway man

!!!???!!!
Damn. Do you just get the orange flashing light when you try to turn the phone on?
Take out SD Card and try.
If nothing works the bright side is you can send it to HTC and say "I woke up, turned it on and it's dead". Chances are they'll never be able to tell how it happened.
Many people did this when the Clockwork recovery bug bricked loads of phones.
Sorry but stay positive. Always a sliver lining.

Thank you
thanks for your great guidance to get back to recovery. I followed your tips and made it.
thanks a lot once again.

[Q] Did I brick my desire?

Hi.
I was recently experiencing some problems with my desire and I believe that I might have rushed into bricking it.
I woke up the day of the bricking. I had just installed the newest version of GingerVillain (version 2.4). My phone had run out of power the day before so I started recharging it. After it had charged for a couple of hours I went to the market to update some apps. During the update my phone suddently rebooted. I thought that it was nothing and went back to the market and continued updating. A few minutes later it rebooted agian. It kept on rebooting with less and less time in between after each attempt until it chose to reboot at the splash screen continuesly.
This is when I thought of starting the phone in recovery and do a NAND restore. As I tried to enter the recovery mode the phone froze at a black screen. I pulled out the battery and retried a couple of times without success.
I read a little on the internet about ADB and tried doing some stuff but I kept on getting errors when running commands in the tools directory. At this point I was getting desperate because I needed the phone to work as I was expecting an important call. I tried flashing a new RUU (through the installer on my PC) while the phone was in fastboot (but without using any ADB and CMD stuff). After this installation almost had finished I got an error saying that the version of the rom wasn't the right one for my phone and the phone shut off.
Since then I haven't been able to boot it into bootloader or even boot it at all. Whenever I hold down power + volume down nothing happends and if I try only pressing the power button the phone vibrates and other than that nothing else happends. Not even the screen turns on.
I since then set up ADB and got it working. I then tried to see if the phone was still able to fastboot through the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
and
Code:
fastboot devices
but found that this was not the case.
Whenever the battery is in the phone though, the bottom of the phone starts to get warm, a little like it's actually using the battery to perform some actions or something. I was also able to recharge it through my computer.
I really need a phone and as it seems I have got my hands on a spare one, but only for a limited time. I'm really thinking of handing it in to the HTC Concept Store so they can send it to the repair department and hopefully get it back as fast as possible.

Its seems.. S-LCD Brick

Ohh dude! I BELIEVE YOU MIGHT JUST HAVE SAVED MY LIFE! TY! TY! TY! TY!
My stationary just killed itself because of the hot weather and a little bit too much work. If I was going to hand in my phone and they couldn't repair it since I had "destroyed" it, I would be forced to buy a new one, and with that I wouldn't be able to afford new components for my stationary.
I will get right on with trying this method as soon as I get home and then I will give feedback asap. It will probably be the most fun "digging in the dark" I will ever do if it turns out to work.
I was almost sure I had killed my beautiful phone, and with it only being a couple of months old that would have been a pain in the ass.
Once again TY so much!!

I have been at this for almost 4 hours now and still no result. I believe the guides could have been more noob friendly. I've been to hell and back reading all the kinds of guides out there to get it all to work and now I'm tired and believe I won't be able to fix this, or atleast doesn't have the capacity to keep on trying.
I pretty much believe that I had this SLCD-brick, but trying out different RUU's is killing me inside and stealing my time. I'd rather just hand in the phone and recieve it as it was from the beginning again to start all over.
Trying to repair a smartphone with a blackscreen is is not something I have the capacity to do. Besides I have my recently deseased stationary computer to take care of as well.
I do have a goldcard, pushed the PB99IMG.zip file to my /sdcard/ through adb and tried starting up fastboot and do as described here.
But somehow I did not find any changes to the problem and the guide itself was wierdly written although the only guide I could find on this problem.
But now I'm giving up. I seriously just hope they will repair my device at no cost.

Me

Man.. what happen when you connect your mobile to PC.. is it showing android device and under that bootloader interface.. dont lose hope... lets try some steps...
connect your mobile to PC and see in your device manager.. can you see android.. if yes than your driver are installed...
than remove the phone from pc.. take out the battery.. and put back battery.. and start by volume down and power.. and than after 10 sec just press power button again.. and connect to pc again... and cehck device manager.. and you should see the same if not.. than install your adb driver.
Point is.. install ADB driver.. when you are on hboot screen.. as well fastboot screen..
Than your RUU will detect your phone.

Well I tried all the steps for this. I can see the phone when booting it with the following combos:
Code:
1: Volume down + Power
2: Power
1: Volume down + Power
2: Volume down
3: Power
When using the first method I should as far as I can understand myself enter fastboot and the other one is recovery. Even when running the fastboot devices / adb devices commands in ADB it tells me what state my devices in, that is either fastboot or recovery. So that's for certain.
I tried running the following RUU when I had connected my device with fastboot:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
The RUU found my device and I ended up with a 140 Error. I read in some guide that this error could be to blame of different windows drivers so I tried grabbing the rom.zip from the RUU (from Temp folder) and renamed it to PB99IMG.zip and put it on the phone. As I couldn't get access to my SD card since I can't see what's on my screen in fastboot and recovery mode I used:
Code:
adb push PB99IMG.zip /sdcard/
with the PB99IMG.zip placed in my tools folder for the transfer. It completed and now the PB99IMG.zip should be placed on the root of my sdcard.
As a notice I live in Denmark and the above RUU should as far as I can understand be the one I need and should as well be SLCD compatible.
When I try to trace the steps in the "not able to see your screen guide" placed here I get none of the desired outcomes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268
I find the guide a little but confusing though. When to use the right commands to trace through a black screen fastboot/recovery and stuff isn't really "noob"-friendly.
When I tried using the following command I didn't get the desired result either:
Code:
fastboot oem gencheckpt
Which should return a HTC_<number> that could tell me whether my phone is branded or not, but instead resulted in an error. As far as I can remember I did make my sdcard a goldcard when I rooted my phone, without knowing whether I would need it, so this number should be irrelevant. So I kept on going at this point.
I have basicly tried everything that I can find guides for and have traced all the steps in detail as far as I understand the guides anyhow. I feel like at a dead end. I am having doubtsg whether the PB99IMG.zip is run when I boot my phone.
Having a clean slate (but still the PB99IMG.zip on the sdcard I have now tried the following:
Code:
Volume down + Power
Windows reported a connected Android 1.0 device and the Android Bootloader Interface.
Power once more (should now be in fastboot)
fastboot devices
confirmed the above, but using ADB devices only return a result if the phone is in recovery mode
So far so good..
I'll give this one more day which will be when I return home at 17:00 today. Then I'll head to tech support at my HTC Store.

Good.. i think you should try this RUU
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
As error 140 is for wrong bootloader.. so try this RUU.. n try to run RUU from PC rather than putting PB99IMG into sd..

Okay. I'll try this and should I run it while in recovery like I did with the other one?
Does it matter if my SD card is out of the phone?
EDIT 1:
I tried with the sdcard out of the phone and with the RUU installed through windows. I now see a HTC Logo on the screen.. and an installing bar below the logo.. Seems like you were my divine interception mate.. ty a lot. I will write once the installation is done.. whether or not it succeeds.
EDIT 2:
My phone is now working. Booted with HTC Sense and a pin code request. Currently setting it up.
I guess I should now be able to re-root it again and get back to the state I was in before I SLCD-bricked it.. or what?
And in what way do I easiest remove that PM99IMG.zip file from the sdcard..? I booted my phone without the sdcard in it to avoid it running the PM99IMG.zip file..
One little question more.. I don't have any phone signal.. could this be to blame for the radio? I can connect to wifi though.. or can I simply run that other RUU I used earlier with the bootloader error to get back my signal?
So happy right now..
EDIT 3:
Nvm. I tried shutting down the phone, put in the sdcard, boot it up again. I found that the ADB push command on that PM99IMG.zip file didn't work. The file wasn't there.. and I suddently got back my signal. Only question is, can I now re-root it again and get back to my previous state without any problems?

Yes Ofcourse you can re root it.. with Unrevoked rooting wont be a big problem... and as soon as you root... just take a nandroid backup from it and be safe..
Enjoy the victory you earned... .. ;-)

ADB and Fastboot Can't Detect My Hox - But Windows Device Manager Can...

Am trying to recover my phone from a bricked state (it's un-rooted, and entirely unmodified. It just overheated and won't boot).
(This is on Windows 7)
Running "adb devices", or "fastboot devices" gives me nothing at all, and yet my device is detected by Device Manager, as an APX device when I connect by USB.
Is there anything I can do to make one or the other of these programs recognise the device? Or another program?
It shoud be noted that the phone is entirely dead, aside from popping up in Device Manager. No charging, no LEDs, nothing, no matter what buttons are pressed.
Oh, and, if I connect my wife's phone (an old Desire), fastboot and adb both find this with the "devices" command.

Urgent - Boot and recovery problem!

Hi to all
I have a big problem. My HTC Desire HD is now "dead". So, everything is working normally, just fine, on JellyTime, but this afternoon everything get broken. Suddenly, after the boot animation is finished, nothing happens, the screen is "black". The phone works, because when I connect USB to the computer sound. I can not get into Recovery (Home + Volume Down), can not do anything. I tried to remove the battery, but it does not help. I tried with adb, but there is "error: device not found". So I installed the drivers, asking me activate USB Debugging on the phone, and I can not access the phone.
Do you have any idea how to access recovery mode and install the new ROM?
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

just turn on your device with press volume down + power to get into the bootloader..then from there you can select recovery

i assume that you already had SDK/ADT or adb.exe and fastboot.exe on your PC.. if not just downloading from here..
and already had installing the latest HTC driver on your PC..
firstly your let the phone is boot like normal..then after you see the black screen..try connecting it to your pc..
then open your SDK folder (place of adb and fastboot.exe) then run cmd and source to your adb folder.. example : if your adb folder is in "C:/android tools/" then you must change source to that folder with typing "cd C:\android tools", now you ready to used it..don't closed it..just let it open
while your phone already booting n had black screen..then already connecting it to usb on your pc..then firstly try typing "adb devices" to check that's the phone is already connected with adb..
if your phone is detected..then you had prompt after that is your phone serial number that on list of attached devices
if success connected..then you can typing "adb reboot-bootloader" or "adb reboot recovery" (all command w/o quote)

you sure that your pc already had latest HTC driver right and support with your OS..?
if so..maybe that's the usb debugging is not already active on your phone indeed..
because what i know is that just had two option to access your phone again:
1. with your volume down+power to access bootloader of your phone..and you can do it everything from there..
2. with adb command on android home of your phone..
while both option that is doesn't work..i'm sorry..i don't know more how the way to access your bootloader again beside the two way above..
anyway maybe you can try it again like the first way you success go into bootloader with pull out the battery over few hours like before..
and when you've already success flashing new rom again..don't forget firstly to enable it usb debugging from system settings..and connect as charge mode only..
and don't forget to disable fast boot mode too from system settings if you using sense rom

and when you've already success flashing new rom again..don't forget firstly to enable it usb debugging from system settings..and connect as charge mode only..
and don't forget to disable fast boot mode too from system settings if you using sense rom

Yes, I have valid drivers, because before this disaster it was possible to connect phone with PC without any problems.
Have you any idea why the phone go "dead" after few hours working just perfect? Hardware or ROM related issue, what do you think?
I pulled battery out just now, for tommorow morning I giving up, maybe I'll be lucky and again I can with volume down + power booting into Recovery Mode.
Thank you, my friend!
P.S. Do you have any suggestion for some stable and good ROM?

i'm not sure about that..until now..what i see is still software related..but i don't know what software exactly had the problem is..
can be from the recovery that you had installed the rom..or else..
to make sure what exactly is.. you must return the phone to the stock..stock bootloader, stock rom and stock recovery too..all back to the stock..with flashing stock RUU while your phone back in normal condition..
you know the forum rule is doesn't give any permission to all member for compare the rom..

[Q] gnex boot loop!

hey everyone! new to the forum. needed help bad.
i have been running CM 10.2.0 for awhile now, pretty much since it was released without any issues. yesterday for whatever reason while surfing the net my phone restarted. now it keeps restarting every 15-20 secs. my main concern at this point is saving my photos before i reset my phone and start from scratch. any ideas as to how to back up photos?
some notes on my rebooting condition.:
phone keeps rebooting even when booted up in safe mode.
-in safe mode i do have more time before it reboots itself
phone does not reboot itself when in bootloader mode or recovery mode
i tried to back up to sdcard while in recovery mode but it fails when it tries to back up data. i also tried using nexus root toolkit but to no avail.
any help would be much appreciated. feels weird to not have a phone.lol. thanks in advance

Hate when a rom just goes bad for some reason.. Could you supply the error messages you get when your backup fails? I'm guessing it might have to do with file names having weird symbols. Also you might want to backup different folders of your sdcard at a time to avoid failure; i.e., "adb pull /sdcard/Download <some_directory_on_computer>".

thanks for the reply. system backup finishes then it goes to back up data. after while it says that there's an error making backup image of /data
is it possible to just to use command prompt to just pull my pictures? would it just be adb pull /sdcard/dcim <some directory>?
also for some reason i am unable to communicate with my phone using adb prompts. yesterday i typed in adb devices and my phones serial number would come up as connected. today under "list of devices" its just blank....not sure what to do.

UPDATE: i was able to get my pictures off of my phone. i launched CMD through the nexus toolkit and it seemed to detect my phone.
i flashed my phone back to stock using the toolkit. for some reason after everything was said and done my phone wasnt actually set back to stock. my phone still has all my apps etc. it still restarts every few seconds.
i tried a couple force flashes using the toolkit again but still same phone. nothing has changed or been fixed. not really sure what my next plan of attack should be. any guidance is very much appreciated.

Glad to hear you got your pictures off. As far as wiping your phone. If you got everything off your sdcard that you want, you can do a fastboot wipe.
-press volume up + volume down + power to get to fastboot mode
-connect the phone to your computer and enter in the command window "fastboot devices" to see if it's connected
-enter "fastboot -w" to do a full erasure of the phone's /data partition
Then use nexus toolkit, recovery, or fastboot to flash a new rom from there. This has saved me in the past in a similar situation. Definitely make sure you have everything off your sdcard you want to keep before trying this though.

thanks so much for the help so far. unfortunately everything you have told me so far has not worked.lol. i followed the steps like u said but the phone just stays on the "google" screen after i install a stock rom. left for 2.5 hours in hopes of it doing its thing.lol. had to pull battery and start it up. nothing changed, phone still restarts i also tried using toolkit to flash stock + unroot (both in bricked mode and normal mode), flashed zip stock images and installing in recovery mode. i also used CMD to push stock images to my phone and installing but still nothing.
i also followed the instructions extactly on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1
all of the steps successfully completed but after a reboot my phone was left unchanged.
i may have screwed up my description of the problem earlier. the phone restarts after my phone stop responding/freezes. i also find that there almost always is a program that stops working. i find handcent sms is having the most errors. tried to uninstall but phone freezes. tried in fastboot/adb but nothing happens.
thanks again for the help so far.
