[Q] Unblock a bricked Ace ? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ! I had to change my phone a couple of month ago, because my previous one HTC DESIRE HD ( ACE ) just switch itself off, and never boot the rom again.
I had the root access and S-OFF for a while, i changed the rom several times and it was working perfectly well, until it just blackscreened.
Then i tried to access to my recovery. That's what i got. I did'nt have the time to figure out what was wrong back then, but now I got some time, and i'd like to fix this problem.
The first time I rooted it and S-OFF, I created the goldcard by myself. In order to try to fix it, I tried again, I can't use any apps to gain root access, i can only access to the bootloader menu.
I tried to install a rom from the bootloader, nothing can do. I also tried to install with the official RUU.exe from HTC to put back the official rom, then root my way again. But I either get a 170 Error ( usb connection not available ) or a " You battery level is lower than 30 % , quit plz " I got another battery and both are fully charged.
I can access to the fastboot command. Tried with several SD cards, nothing changed.
Anybody can help me ?

Can you access bootloader? Maybe connect via adb?

Desire won't boot into recovery or OS, Bootload & Fastboot works

I don't know what I did wrong. After downloading a moddet statusbar vor Oxygen 0.2 I wanted to reboot into recovery and it took me very long. It freezed. After pulling the battery and setting it back in and pushing the power button my desire vibrated in 3 short intervals.
Since that I can't boot into the os or into recovery. Only thing that is working is the bootloader and the fastboot.
First thing I tryed is to flash (with fastboot) a new recovery but nothing changed. still it freezes at the splash screen.
I also downloaded official o2 rom from their homepage. But I think they want me to run the .exe while in android. A error comes up and tells me that it can't find a phone.
official htc roms don't work too. one told me that I'm not allowed to install this particular rom and an other official rom keeps exiting with error code: 170 telling me that the usb connection couldn't be established or something like this.
is there something else I can try?
I googled and searched the board. Tryed to boot into recovery without microSD card too but still no success.
help
Unpack the Rom and get the image out of the file...
Rename it to pb99img.zip dump only that on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot .
T i d y .
Or just look on shiped roms for an 02 pb99img.zip and download then rename
T i d y .
Thank you so much. I already tryed this with 3 different pb99img images and had always the same error (CID). One of them was a o2 uk rom. So I gave up on trying it this way. But I didn't know that it could be extracted from every rom.
Now I think every thing is working again. Thank you.
Oh well ... I destroyed it again. Like I said I was able to install official o2 rom and everything was working again. After that I wanted to root it with unrevoked 3.21 but it freezed at "waiting for reboot". So I had to pull the battery once again.
But now I can't even enter bootloader. Only a screen pops up with htc in the middle and with four ! in every corner of the display.
Tryed to install official o2 rom again. It can find it and starts installing but at the end of the installation it stops with an error:
error [110]: error while opening data. Tryed it 3 times but always the same.
This might work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
You have to have a working Goldcard and be able to access HBOOT to do the above
Nevermind.
I send it to o2. Since I was able to install the official RUU once I think they will take care of it.
What happend is:
For some reason I wasn't able to boot my phone. Recovery wasn't working too. Only thing that was working was Bootloader and Fastboot.
Just to sum up what I tryed:
Installing new recovery didn't help. I was able to install official o2 RUU and everything was working. But I lost my root. I think it had HBoot 0.930001
So I wanted to root it again with unrevoked 3.21
It started well and rebootet one or two times. But at the thirt reboot attempt it juft freezed and nothing was happening. I don't know what I did wrong?
is unrevoked 3.21 really able to root a phone with hboot 0.930001?
As I said ... if faild and after that I couldn't even enter Bootloader or Fastboot.
So I send it to o2 and hope they fix it.
But now I am really scared to root it again. If it fails again ... what will they think if I send it after 3 days again to them.

Hi,
I have the same problem and getting pretty desperate now.
Only FASTBOOT and BOOTLOADER works.
I have clockwork recovery installed but it wont boot into recovery. It just gets stuck on the white boot screen.
I can't copy PB99IMG.zip or any other zip file because I can't access the phone through usb. I tried:
adb push PBIMG99.zip /
error: device not found
Is my phone useless now? As good as a brick?
try pack it in some tolietpaper put it in to the freezer fore 5 min an try again

janielsen's idea seems crazy but give it a try..
put it in the freezer for few minutes then take it out
and then try to get into recovery mode..
you'll be able to do that
if you see a triangle with ! mark at the center that means it's a serious hardware issue and we can't do anything about that you have to send it to htc service center
Ha, funnily enough I did try the freezer thing but that didn't work either. What did work was booting into fast boot, connecting the usb and flashing with an official RUU in windows.
The phone is still stuffed!!!
It now has an official htc rom, no root, no mods, nothing... just stock!
But whenever it has to do a bit more processing like viewing a complex web page with flash, playing a game, downloading from the market it resets itself. Why?
I am starting to think it's a hardware problem but I need confirmation. I tried different roms but I get the same result. Has anyone has the same experience???
well i have sent my phone in fore repare the trick whit the freezer is only so u can unroot it so they cant see that it has bien rooted
the problem is that the cpu is getting to hot
Hey janielsen,
I had a feeling it was a hardware problem, because it only resets when it's doing a lot of processing.
But what can they do? Replace the CPU? Did they say how much it costs?
I bought my phone second hand so I don't have warranty.
yes u have warrenty because htc can see by the imei when the garanty is running out
they will replace the mainboard

HTC Desire Usb brick, no bluetooth, sd not mounting etc

Hi, Firstly i am a huge fan of xda! everything i learnt about android in from this site so thank you already
anyway sorry if i missed something but i been searching forums after forums and couldn't find any solution for my problem. if i missed something please point me to the right direction.
My problem is i have a htc desire. i have s-off and have been using leedroid for few months now. i have backed up my nandrom few weeks ago. today my phone was playing up, it wouldnt let me send any sms. after sometime i decided to restore my phone to the old back up through clockwork recovery.
everything went fine and untill phone rebooted and was stuck on htc splash screen for long time. so i pulled the battery out and went back to recovery mode and tried flashing leedroid from fresh but it kept saying unable to mount the sd card!
i tried all i can think of even back up and formate my sd card.
eventually i decided to use android flasher and flash stock hboot and then run RUU.exe of android gingerbread from htc website. worked fine.
now when am in the phone i have the following problem. sd card does not mount but if i start the phone in hboot (vol down + power) and i have hboot image saved on the root of the sd my phone reads it and prompts me if i want to update to this. so i know my hardware is fine. secondly my sim reads fine but i keep loosing signal. i have to put aeroplan mode on and off to get signal but loose it after few seconds. when i plug into my laptop usb does not work/charge but windows finds my phone in hboot and fastboot mode and my phone charges in hboot and when its off. other thing ive noticed is my Bluetooth does not turn on now!
if anyone can help me please!
if you lost S-OFF try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15120208
foolish of you to run a RUU when usb-bricked
the above thread was written for froyo stock htc rom, no clue wheter this will work on GB htc stock rom.
one way or another you need S-OFF or root access to fix the USB-Brick
Thanks! that sorted it out just fine, am still new to android and rooting. I guess we learn from our mistakes.

[Q] Phone possibly bricked but it might be saveable!

Hi,
My first phone was rooted and I rooted my second too so I am confident rooting them however my second phone which had been rooted for a while had a space issue on SD card so I cleared out a few things which unfourtunatley included all the backup files ....
It worked fine afterwards but didnt let me change rom (using rom manager) so I just left it in working order for a few months until I wanted to reflash a new rom (as I am sure most people do every few months)
When it didnt let me, I tried to unroot and root options using superoneclick and unrevoked3 however, unrevoked 3 just stayed on "running root" and superoneclick got so far and crashed. When I go into the bootloader, it says something about some filed missing (think might be some nbh files).
At the moment, when normally turning the phone on, it stays on the screen with the pink circle, the first boot screen.
I have tried updating it using the RUU but it takes a long time and then says "use the correct rom for your device" which I am, this method just boots my phone and goes to a htc logo.
I can also get into the bootloader but when I apply update.zip, it says it has failed and something about files not existing/step 7 failure.
The thing is, I can get to fast boot and I am sure there is a way via ADB to force a new image (such as a cyanogen recovery image) on to the device.
Can anyone tell me how to push an image to the phone without using the RUU (as this didnt work for me)??
Maybe my phone is just bricked
Thank you very much!!
It. Is. Not. Bricked.
You can only push files onto the phone through fastboot if you are S-OFF (are you?)
Have you tried to enter recovery? boot into Bootloader (vol down + power) and then select recovery. Does it work?
no?
Then you need a goldcard. Make one with your working Desire, stick it in your misbehaving one, and then run the latest WWE RUU (link on my guide, check #resources)
Thanks but I do not have another Desire...
Any card reader
yeah, I got a card reader laying around somewhere, if not ill go get one in Tesco, what where you thinking?

Hi Bortak, I am having similair problems with my phone sticking on the pink circle screen. I cant seem to load a recovery file from Bootloader. Will I need to make a Gold Card, my phone is s-off.
thanks mate
if phone is S-OFF go to my guide, look at advanced boot problems S-OFF.
SOLVED WOOHOO!
Thank you to all who helped but I managed to fix it my own way.
For anyone still having trouble...
I still had the cyanogen mod bootloader soo all I did was download the latest cyanogen mod rom and apply it (you can mount sd card from cm bootloader) and after a hairy minute, it finally booted up!

[Help] How to Flash a Stock-ROM with CWM ?

Hi folks!
I got the Wildfire S from my Mum and flashed it to 3 different Custom-ROMs.
the problem is, her phone has an error. Everytime when waking up from standby, it takes like 5 seconds before the display does take input!
Means : When someone calls and the display went on, u have to try many times (like 5 secs or more) to receive the call. same when trying to unlock.
With stock rom it was even worse! there it took like 10 seconds or more.
now we want to flash back original rom without root and take it back to our dealer and let it change with a working phone. problem now is, the USB-Ports seems to be broken or so??
when connecting with her laptop or even with my PC the pc's recognises the phone as "unknown device" and when trying to install usb-drivers for asb or fastboot, it says "the device is already up to date".
so i CANT use fastboot, adb or even the RUU-flasher-exe files
no i am searching for a way to flash the phone with a stock rom out of the recovery menu.
is there a way or a way to fix the usb-driver problem ???
someone plz help!
i installed htc sync and tried to flash the ruu manually by fastboot.
it only flashes system.img and the boot.img. when trying to flash the other stuff like hboot and recovery or radio it says "wrong verficiation id. Remote not allowed"
now the phone wont boot further than bootloader or recovery
bootloader is unlocked!
plz someone help!!
Is there a way to flash a stock rom out of the recovery?
can SOME PLEASE make me a backup of his system and upload it anywhere so i can fix mum's phone?
plz ppl help!
ok got it back working. with custom rom only, but its ok for now.

[Q] Help Please with possible bricked phone after upgrade to 4.0.4

Hello
This is my last ditch attempt to fix my HTC ONE X, before I resign and send it to HTC for a repair. The phone was rooted and locked to T-mobile UK when the update for 4.0.4 came through 2 days ago. I downloaded it OTA and installed the update. After the update had installed the phone was in a bootloop. It kept loading the home screen and rebooting.
I have tried the following with no success!
Initially couldn't get access to recovery, but when I reflashed recovery I have no access to the sd card. The drive shows up on my computer when connected via usb but it says there is no drive connected and all my files appeared to have been deleted, although the reset folders are visible! So can't transfer a custom ROM and flash.
I have reflashed a boot.img and now the ONE X doesn't even get to the home screen it just hangs at the htc splash screen.
I have also relocked the bootloader to flash a RUU. This hasn't worked either. It appears to be working and the phone screen turns black with an install icon, but the RUU stops after approx 1 min, says it's completed, but nothing has changed on the phone.
This has been a nightmare and am just about to package it up and send to HTC and accept any charges for rooting!
Please help!!!
Can you get the phone in hboot/fastboot ?
What do you see when you enter
Fastboot devices or adb devices ?
If it works unlock your bootloader again with the unlock token.google the exact fastboot command, don't know it for sure now i'm on my phone.
Reflash custom cwm recovery (5.8.0.4 if i'm guessing it right) you can mount sd card within recovery
From there flash a custom rom again.
Flash kernel from the rom and install it with a full wipe.
Think it's your best option as far as I can see now
If your bootloader is locked and you have a stock recovery you can not flash anything
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X
Thank you for your reply.
I managed to finally get access to the SD card and transfer a custom ROM. Which I flashed and the phone is working again!!
Thank you for your help!! So relieved!
