Hey Geeks,
I need some help and I bet that you could help me!
I ve used the search engine to not post anything someone did before. But there was nothing that could help me.
First I ll describe you what I ve done to brick my Desire HD:
My phone is rooted, S-OFF, ENG S-OFF with CM 7. After installing the new ROM I wasn`t able to install anything from the amrket. So I ve looked up for the reason and tried different things to sovle it. I ve read somewhere that it could help to add a partition to my SD-card. So I ve used the ROM Manager to format my sd card and create a partition.
ROM Manager asked me if I am sure bla bla... you know what I mean. After giving ROM Manager su-permission my phone shuts down. From there on nothing happened. (and still no patition on my sd card).
It`s not reacting to the power button, to the volume-down + power button nor is blinking my LED when I connect it to the USB-Port. Seems like it`s out of energy (but my akku was charged before I ve stzarted with the partition of my sd card).
I ve tried to put out the akku for several minutes. No reaction.
Removing SD-Card before pushing the power button: No reaction
Plug in to charge battery without hitting any button... some hours later: still no reaction
Formating SD-Card: No reaction
Then I ve tried to install the RUU 1.32., saved it on my sd-card, plugged phone in to start... my pc is not detecting my phone.
And now I am helpless
So it doesn't boot at all? Because if it doesn't, you are pretty much screwed...no boot -> no access -> no fix, but I don't believe that you can screw your phone up that badly by partitioning your sd-card.
Unless someone has a fix for this (and the problem doesn't solve itself somehow), your best bet is to send your phone to HTC for a repair, they probably won't charge you anything if it is still covered under warranty, since they can't really check for any modifications if it doesn't boot. It is probably a hardware problem any way.

The fact that it doesn't boot at all is a good thing for send it back for warranty purpose. But if you formated your sd-card, you lost root anyway. You have to make a backup of your SD-Card before you format/partition it, and then copy everything back.
And your initial issue was maybe due to an outdated version of Gapps...
why should he loose root if he formats his sd-card? you have root even without an sd-card.
if nothing helps to get your DHD back to life, you probably have to send it to HTC. but I think it's covered by warranty since it's (probably) a hardware fault.
btw, i think i've seen a thread like this somewhere here yesterday... i'll have a look and post a link if i find something
Edit: found it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013582&page=2
look at page 2. there are some people with the same problem, but there is no solution yet.
But you do have CWM-Recovery on it don't you?
And if, can you get into Recovery?
Had similar Problems, once...
But my phone only showed the white HTC Logo and that was it....
What i did was the following... flashed Revory via Fasbootload from Computer...
Next, i formatted my sd card via computer and copied a new Rom.zip onto it.
In my Case, leedroid.
Next, i just flashed it and it happened to work again, luckily.
he can't even boot into the bootloader.

Hardware fault or not, rooting voids warranty. Let's hope that they can't inspect the internal memory.
Anyway, is the phone reacting to connecting to a proper charger (try to leave it plugged in for a couple of hours even if the LED doesn't light up)? The other thing you could try is to find a friend with a DHD and swap the batteries just to try if somehow you managed to kill your battery.
hi Sleipnir1985,
go back to your shop,
when did you buy it? they must take it for service, or they give you new one.
it is only best solution in this case
if you take battery out for 5! min, then plug it in and hold volume down then push power button - nothing happened, this is it, the end...
cheers/

yes, but HTC replaces your phone if it's a hardware and not a software fault. a friend of mine got his DHD replaced with eng hboot, radio S-OFF, custom rom and so on. and lots of people here on XDA also.
Here`s another mate with the same problem.
I am going to give my HTC to the shop this evening. Push your thumbs that I ll get a new one

Hey guys,
I'm running a DHD on Leedroid 2.3.4 b2 and was about to format my SD card (the ext3 topic) using ROM Manager 4.1.0.0 (CWM 3.0.2.5). It sent me to CWM after confirmation of SD format, after a few moments I saw the classic CWM screen saying the SD card had been mounted or found (can't remeber 100%), and it seemed to start. A few seconds later it all went black, the phone was out.
I tried to power it on again - nothing happens, the screen stays blank. I tried taking out the SD card and tried again: nothing. I got the battery out and in again: nothing. I plugged in the charging cable: nothing, not even a red/green LED on the top.
I'm really desperate now, because I can't even get into CWM like that, it's just DEAD. Do you have any idea?
You should read stickies before "hacking" the phone:
The first post says in the dev section:
jkoljo said:
As the title says, do not partition SD card using ClockworkMod or ROM Manager.
There has been multiple bricked devices already, all after partitioning SD in CWM. The device suddenly turns off while the partitioning is in progress, and never turns on again. We do not know what causes this issue yet, but I am sure that ClockworkMod team will look into it.
Update:
Update 2:
Update 3:
New ClockworkMod 3.0.2.6 and ROM Manager 4.1.0.0 are out!

Darn, sometimes life is annoying. I was looking in the Q&A-forums not in Dev. "Luckily" I have an old iPhone here for the time while I can hopefully give it back (only a few weeks old, let's see what a store says).
Thx, I'm gonna scream and this thread can be closed.
Maybe someone can duplicate the CWM thread here too for other users, because I was looking here as I thought there might be questions like that.
Thx, at least knowing the enemy is a bit ok.
I am victim too btw hmm luckily i bricked my phone on a saturday(which is yesterday)so i didnt have to suffer 2 days.im gonna go to HTC service center in my country tomorrow after school...
Hi i was wondering if anyone can help me?
I was trying to flash my desire (which is rooted) back to stock rom when my pc crashed, now my desire wont turn back on.
I have tried to put it into recovery with power button and volume down but all it does is vibrate once and thats it.
If i plug in the charger and take the battery out the led flashes orange and green, but when i put the battery back in it goes to a solid green which i persume means its fully charged, then when i try to go into recovery again the led goes out and i am back to where i started e.g a dead Desire
Can i make a Goldcard to fix this problem on my pc without using my phone or is that out of the question?
The phone is out of warranty
Please help if possible
Regards mimic

Based on what you have said, your recovery and backup is TU. Without a recovery menu, I suspect, not a lot of folks can help you.
I suppose that if you connect USB to the PC, it gives you Device not found?
If so..... I would say installing the Android Development Kit/Package,
See if it recognizes and you can use it to do things.
If not..... you're Fubarred...
how do i use the android package?
Yes i tried plugging it into the pc and it doesnt find the phone
Do you think there will be anywhere were i will be able to get it fixed and at what cost?
If the cost is too much i will just bin the phone and save up for another

ok i plugged it back into the pc and looked in device manager and android usb devices has come up which is showing my HTC
any ideas?
I really appreciate all the help thankyou
Holy sheepskin, you have a USB connection.
Sorry for the batman cliche.....
If you have a usb connection, I would say to flash an RUU back to stock.
Usually this means, you have to have HTC sync instaled...
Bump to smbdy who can direct this person to a stock RUU file...Too many beers.... running on auto-pilot now
I tried running this stock rom which is the 3 network...RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.20.771.3_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124822
But it says phone not found???
Below is a screenshot of device manager
Not a problem, no thanks necessary, unless we fix the issue.
Ok, so, we have determined, that your PC, can see the phone, at least through device manager.
Next, can you view the contents of the SD card through Windows Explorer?
If so, make sure HTC is installed correctly., just a precaution, look for any warnings in device manager.
I assume, you have not rooted or installed a custom ROM?
If not, with HTC running, you should be able to double click the ROM...XXXXXXXX.exe, and it should connect with the phone, and install... Unless you have the incorrect ROM.
CRAP, you have a Desire, so you should make a "Gold Card" from your SD.
i cannot see the memory card in windows explorer,
my neighbour says he did root the phone and it had a custom rom on it called djdroid or something like that.
I started HTC Sync and it says no device connected
every time i try and install the rom it starts going through the process lioke erasing data and updating signature then it stops and says ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR??
I have tried the WWE rom and the H3G rom but they both come back with an error
Have i got the right rom?? If not could you please tell me which one to get
ps.. how can i make a gold card if i cant boot my phone and will this be able to get my phone up and running?

(witholding comment)
Dude, somehow, I think he dumped his problems on you.
Well, on XDA, we have the brightest and most experienced. And there are some pretty obstinant people, who refuse to throw the towell in.
And believe me, we will all put our 2 cents in on this one to get you up and running.
So, a challenge to all that would care to enter......
And believe me, I haven't seen the "big guns" yet. You just have to shake them outta their shell....
I really hope someone can help me figure this out as i really dont want to throw the phone away
By the way i think i have come to the right place to get the best help
Do you have a GOLD Card????
I mean your SD.
Looks like a typical gold card error when flashing.

But i have no idea what a goldcard is?? lol
Today whilst round a friends house i was charging my phone on his charger, and it just reset itself. It does this occasionally so i didnt think much of it. After a minute i looked at it hadnt rebooted so i took the battery out and reset it, it got to the HTC screen the first screen you see when you turn it on and it wont go any further. I cant even boot into recovery as it gets stuck on that screen again. I thought maybe the phone had gotten too hot so i took the battery out and let it cool down, still no luck. I have taken the sim card and SD card out aswell and still the same problem. I have no idea what the problem is as i wasn't even on it at the time.

If you can get into fastboot (back + power button) you could bring your phone to stock. Guides are available on the development thread.

It's rooted without the stock rom and its been de-branded. Basically I've voided the warranty.
anyone..........
Since you are not s-off there is pretty much only one thing you can do. Run a ruu from fastboot using a PB99IMG.zip file. you download the file and put it in the root of your sd-card. Then you boot into bootloader, and it will return everything to stock so that you can use it again and root if you want to.
Firstly, thankyou very much for your help. Second, I'm not able to mount the SD card through the phone, is there another way?

wow.. just wow.
First of all that command will mount the sd-card to his phone or recovery, while he is trying to mount it to his computer through usb in order to place the ruu zip-file.
Second of all even if it was the right command he won't be able to execute adb-commands while he is unable to enter the system or recovery...
SxcKieranGrr:
Well yes there are 2 ways:
1. you can run the ruu using the .exe-file from your computer. This should work even if your phone is only able to enter the bootloader, and it should take care of everything for you. However, there might be complications to this method.
2. if the above won't work, you will have to use a sd-card reader in order to place the PB99IMG.zip on your sd-card.
edit: for the first way use this ruu: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4a4027/n/RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
edit2: and if that won't work write here, and i'll get you the corresponding PB99IMG.zip from the ruu file.
Hello
May be you can try to use unrevoked to flash a new recovery...
Dont know if it can help... good luck!

I got my phone today which is on t-mobile and went ahead and rooted it and s-offed it, i unlocked the network with HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5 and all seemed ok until i tried to install a custom rom from my memory card through CWM, but it would not let me it just went to a black screen.
So i downloaded a RUU file called RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.15.110.11_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122755
I ran the file and it started to install so i thought, it then came up with an error saying something like wrong version.so i turned of my phone and switched it back on and nothing, i cant even get into hboot or recovery
Please can someone help me out as i am a noob at this

Its possible you haven't done much research.
1) Maybe in recovery, if you pressed the power button to flash a rom, you would find it switched off the screen. Pressing power again (if this was the case) would turn the back on. You could then use trackball to select
2) RUU's starting 1.x are Eclair Roms. They more often than not do not support SLCD screens so this could have given you an SLCD Brick.
If you get wrong version, it hasn't flashed anything at that time so the RUU shouldn't have broken anything, although now you are getting USB errors, sounds like you needed to do the USB brick fix
You say when you try to get into hboot, you get nothing? define nothing clearly please? Have you removed the battery at all since any of this?
People, please understand what it is you are doing before doing it. If you dont understand something, ask before doing it. If I am right about the above, nearly bricking a phone because the wrong button was pressed in recovery has to be about the most extreme case of this sort of thing I have seen.
Yes i have removed the battery and tried to get hboot but nothing
So does this mean i am goosed then?
What do you mean nothing? does it vibrate? Please go into detail
Please can you guide me to the correct stock rom for my phone? it is on t-mobile UK?
The phone now says Android bootloader interface in device manager
Could you also tell me how to do the usb brick fix?
Yes it vibrates once and thats it.
It also vibrates once when i plug in the usb
Im not telling you anything unless you answer my questions. Sorry to be brutal, but you're not helping yourself here
Edit, Thank you.
It still looks like an SLCD brick to me. I can't for the life of me figure out how if it got wrong bootloader version though...

Ok, lets take our time with this, I dont think tonight is our night as shipped roms appears to be down so we can't necessarily get the latest TMO RUU from there. Also it may not be the latest.

OK well you have the most important one that we need. Wit a card reader we can make a goldcard.
Follow the below link to make a goldcard using your reader. You need to format the card, so ensure you back it up first.
http://androidforums.com/desire-all...aq-rooting-updated-10th-august-2011-a.html#16
Wait a second for it to jump to the right point of the thread.
Incase I am not around for the entirety of this, here is what we are doing.
1) making a gold card
2) Downloading an unbranded RUU 2.28.405.5
3) Booting to fastboot and trying to run the RUU
If that fails, we are going to have to try the PB99IMG.zip method for the same rom, blind.
Get on with the goldcard and come back when you're done. Use this link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/PC/GoldCard Tool.rar to download the actual goldcard tool
