Hello,
yesterday, I tried to update my HBOOT version from 0.900 by using RUU for windows. Everything worked like it should, but after I returned to my PC, i saw, that my Wildfire S's screen flashed black, than went black and then flashed again. I removed the battery but that didn't work, so I tried to boot into Recovery mode: didn't work, neither. My computer can't detect it to flash another RUU version or replace the ROM or anything else.
So my question is: Do you know anything I can do (except from bring it to where I bought it)? I can't do ANYTHING with my phone (as far as I tried, so things like Recovery mode,..). Thanks! It isn't the first time I root or unlock a smartphone, I unlocked the HTC Explorer/Pico, but there I didn't need a RUU-Update.
Thanks for helping! :laugh:

Hi,
I was trying to root my phone with the guide that is on this forum, but then when i restarted my phone, it was stuck on the white "HTC" boot screen. Then i tried to do a "Factory Reset" in hboot and rebooted, and still stuck on the boot screen. I tried to put a PD98IMG.zip as it was prompted in hboot as "no image or wrong file", so i loaded PD98IMG.zip onto my SD card, and still not working. any suggestions ?
my phone is S-ON.
I guess your phone is branded ? If that's the case, you need to follow the tutorial for a goldcard.
Also, if your rom is 1.7x or 1.8x, you can't root it. You have to follow the downgrade tutorial 1st
Mine took 30 mins to boot once. You could try the ruu look in dev section, you just flash it from Windows, then start again. Was your she branded?

I was in the same situation, downgraded ROM and clockwork mod and did a restore and it works fine now
@Howling Wolf - I cannot get the CID for the SD card, because
in the 'adb shell' command, my command prompt says "error: device not found". But i want to know, can i still get the CID through another HTC desire phone ? and can i still update a stock rom with S-ON ? and how do i know if my phone is branded ?
I got my phone from Taiwan, a friend brought it over for me, and when i last checked it was on software version 1.37.921.1 .
@turbo_d - ill try that thnx
did you try installing the htc sync software then do adb devices
ye i did, i installed HTC sync to get the HTC drivers, but from what i noticed is that your phone needs to be "running" instead of being stuck on the white HTC boot screen or even the hboot doesnt pick up the device aswell >.<

Try going into bootloader, and then run adb from pc..
@SAPPH1RE - i tried that but thanks for the help !
ok i acquired my CID through linux, but now its telling me
main version is older !
update fail.
any suggiestions ? my current software version of the phone is 1.37, which stock RUU should i be using ?
If you are on 1.37 you should be fine to continue with getting s-off and such. You don't need to upgrade or downgrade your ROM until you achieve s-off. And then you should upgrade to a custom ROM such as LeeDroid.

did you get it working ?
I fixed mine a few weeks back by doing a full wipe and then loading a fresh ROM
Thing is, i cant get my phone to start up, so i need to flash a stock rom, so that i can get my phone started and then do S-OFF. But it keeps telling me "Main Version is older!"
ive tried 2 roms already, 1.32 and 1.72 RUU. What could be the problem ?
thnx problem solved, the gold card wasnt done properly, so i re did everything.
thnx for the help guys !

@paulcoop007 i have same problem with you, same version with your phone and S-ON. and my phone at black screen with htc. how can i fix it. can you explain how did you fix your phone?
Hi,
I have a serious problem and I could not fix it with anything I tried. Today I had the notification of the official 2.3 update for desire hd. I dowloaded it then the phone is stuck at the htc logo. I tried from bootloder to make factory reset recovery and also tried to flash some roms in fastboot mode.
None of them worked.
My first choice is to get back to 2.2 froyo, but I would like to hear recommendations about custom roms, especially if you have any rom advice wihch can increase battery life etc. I am not an expert in flashing roms however I can also consider for a custom rom in the light of your suggestions. Please help it would be much appreciated.
Regards...
is there anyone who as some comments??
Hello, that sounds rubbish Had you been running a custom ROM before? What network are you on?
got the same problem here too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14568001&postcount=12
thanks a lot but in this thread it says that it can not be downgraded if it is 2.37 or higher when i have tried to flash a rom i see that the it is currently 2.37.720.3.
Do you there might be also another way??
somebody please help, i am really stuck and can not find any solution, i started to think the phone will be brick. isnt there any suggestion...
and no one has tried the 2.36 RUU!? (stop trying the PD98IMG's off the SD)
i also tried to flash 2.36 up to 2.37 it also did not work....

Use the RUU and your pc to downgrade it to 2.36, it should work regardless of what you have on your phone.
first of all thanks for your comments.
let me tell you what i have done step by step.
ifound the rom below name specified.
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed
i enter the bootlodaer because i can not get anywhere else. i plug in the usn then select "fastboot" and it show fastboot usb.
then i run the ruu from pc it starts to flash ( it shows current version 2.37.720.3 and will 2.36. etc. )
then black screen with white htc logo comes but nothing moves further and at the end i get the " Custome ID Error "
i do not know may be i am using the wrong rom if you can please provide another link to another rom or may be a different solution with a custom rom...
i am really stuck at this.
thanks in advance...
Customer ID error normally means you need a goldcard

thanks for yor suggestion i will definetly try it and give results.
but please excuse my lack of knowledge, according to the instructions i have to use " gold card helper " via phone. my phone is now unusable. i have one android hd2 do you i can create the goldcard on hd2 according to the desire hd setting s and use it on desire hd????
thanks again...
i tried the godlcard solution but now it gave the error 140 bootloader version.
the only thing different than the steps it says chosee mmc2 value but on the goldcard helper i only saw mmc1 and i have sent the e-mail according to that...
what should i do?
does anyone has any suggestion??
since now the bootloader is pooched, you've pretty much bricked the device unless you can get your hands on the original ruu that your carrier uses.
Has anyone ever seen this? Got this phone cheap and would like to fix it.
Can't get into bootloader, just goes to this screen and keeps rebooting ever so often.
Cheers for any help
Ok an update, it seems the volume- button is broken but back key + power worked and I got into the boot menu. Here's a pic.
Where should I go from here?
Is there a way of knowing if the phone is branded and what brand or unlocked so I can try flashing a WWE RUU?
Ok so the phone is branded T Mobile since a Tmob RUU worked just fine but with WWE ROMs I get a CID mismatch.
Made a goldcard with 2 sd cards but it doesn't work since I get a CID error mismatch again.
I should mention that after a T Mobile RUU flash that phone was still getting stuck on that same screen in post 1.
I've tried several things but still no luck with getting anywhere.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Made a successful goldcard using a different method and was able to flash the latest WWE RUU but the phone is still stuck on boot, the difference is that now it's the white screen with HTC in the middle.
So the phone doesn't even get into boot.
Can somebody help me with this??
Ruu really should Fix it. If it doesn't, first port of call should be warranty. Does ruu give no error?

As I've mentioned, I got this phone for cheap so no warranty.
Nope, no errors with goldcard. Also I should mention I can't get into recovery, it just goes back into boot loop.
I suspect some partition somewhere must be corrupted.
If the phone had S-OFF it would make things so much easier.
Ok so an update, for anyone who runs into this problem.
After trying basically everything (even trying to unlock bootloader with a HTC Unlocker device with no success, probably due to action key not working) I was going to go and try to unlock the official way.
To unlock the official way I had to update the ROM so I just used the latest update which is 2.3.3 and after flashing I was finally able to boot!! So it seems like the problem was not hardware related at all.
Next I used Revolutionary to S-OFF, flashed CWM Touch and used root.zip for root access. Now I'm happy I got it all going and it's time for a sandwich, the ice cream variant
Peace!
Hello.
Recently Tried CyanogenMod on my HTC desire.
Found put i had too many issues so i reinstalled a stock RUU Nravo HTC WWE but now my phone is stuck in white screen + logo.
Recovery automaticly bring me to this option too.
Any help :/
Did you change hboot to cm7r2? If yes then you need to flash downgrader it before you run RUU. Check link on my sig. There's a thing for that problem on the troubleshooting guide

I have no idea. I know now that I shouldnt have fiddled with this. I have jailbroken many apple products and I have played with linux operating systems but hell, I have no idea how the android cellphone works.
Ok so here is the issues I have trying to following your guide (thanks for the reply by the way).
My computer cannot detect my phone through USB.
I have no access to my SD, nor do I have an adapter.
I have no ROMs on my SD because I cleared it during reinstallation of SENSE.
The problem accured after I hooked my phone to my PC and reinstalled RUU BRAVO HTC WWE 1.15.405.4
My phone is stuck in White bootscreen no matter what.
Going into recovery simply puts me on white bootscreen too.
Thanks in advance.
Decided to buy a new phone insted.
And this is definitly the last time I fiddle with roms on an android based phone.
Thanks for the help.
Did ya pull the battery out then put back and hold volume down + power? See if can get bootloader

Hello everyone,
I have recently tried to root my phone (HTC Desire HD, no branding, bought in Germany) and it appears that I have messed it all up. I tried to root it using hack-ace.cmd. What first happened is, sinc my phone was running the latest stock ROM (2.3.5) the Hack-ace.cmd said this Android Version can't be rooted and therefore must be downgraded... And so it did downgrade... The phone started up as normal with the new (old) Android-Version. Then I ran the root thing one more time, it said root was complete but my phone still said S-On. Having said that, it seems that the rooting wasn't successful... This not being such a tragedy for me, I gave up the whole deal with rooting or installing custom rooms and all that... But here it comes... My phone won't boot at all anymore. I can manage to get in the Recovery Mode ( vol. down + power button) and I get the options Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset etc.. However, none of it works. When I select Recovery or Factory Reset the HTC Logo shows up, fades out and the only thing I can see is the backlight on a black background. Forever. Can this be fixed somehow, I've tried a RSS.exe with the latest android for my phone but I suppose it needs to be booted in at least some other Android to get the job done. It tells me phone not detected.
For your help I'll be very thankfull!
Like the AAHK website clearly states, it is retired. The files it needs to use to downgrade are no longer hosted on the AAHK server. Is your bootloader very slow? If not, you could try running a compatible 2.3.5 RUU to put your phone back to the way it was. You could also try to root with the Easy Ace Root Tool if you still want root. If your bootloader is very slow, look for the IAMADUMBASS fix on the AAHK website.

Thank you for your answer... I tried going over the IAMADUMBASS (very catchy name), which didn't solve my problem, since I couldnt get the command prompt to find my phone, but then it made me realise the difference between fastboot and the other option was... so i ran the RUU in fastboot mode and the ROM got restored, so it is now all perfect!
Urgent help needed
