Is my desire dead?

Hello folks
As per this photo, I think my Desire is dead. I have tried to reboot it in numerous ways, but without succes.
Is there any way to fix it?

Bortak's troubleshooting guide, stickied to the top of q&a, deals with this exact problem

Many thanks. I will se what I can do about it

I think there is a use case for the four triangles in Bortaks thread. Check it.
If I am not wrong this is a RUU problem. Case No 4. Did this happen after you used the RUU?

no, you can reflash the GB RUU again and it will be fine again.

It was after trying to install an RUU. Bortaks method (no 4) did not work. Android flasher tells me that there is no connection to the phone. How do I flash anything when I can´t get in contact with the phone?

Are the htcsync drivers installed onboard the computer? Theres a guide in my signature which will set it up for you in case its not installed. I guess Android flasher must be OK but I personally use the commandline. I always use the command
Code:
fastboot devices
to verify connectivity.

Yes, the drivers are installed, but as with the android flasher, I am tiold that there is no device connected. I have also installed the SDK kit as you have described, but the adb shell command tells me no device connected.

it cant be setup properly i guess. try the adb & fastboot guide in my sig, and make sure uv done it correctly.

Softbrick, Successful downgrade. S-on

UPDATE: NO progress overall, but I've been trying fastboot, but it gives me a verify failed error
What do I do?
Hey guys,
I'm really sorry if this has been answered already, but to the best of my surfing, it hasn't
Any way, so I ran the Advanced Ace Hack Kit on a VirtualBox Ubuntu environment.
so it offered to do all necessary for a downgrade, and it downloaded everything and SUCCESSFULLY downgraded my device(DHD) back to Froyo
now, I tried rooting..
I don't know what exactly went wrong.. but this is the status of the phone:
As usual, stuck in white screen
I CAN access H-BOOT, and CWM is apparently installed too... so I'm guessing it's rooted
However, The status is still clear:
S-on
Please put me on the light here?

AAHK is retired. The files it needs have been pulled and the server take down. If you have CWM and S-On, I have a hunch your bootloader is unlocked. Is it? If so you can flash ROMs. For S-On, each time you flash a ROM you need to fastboot flash boot.img.

Hey thanks for your reply, but how do I do that?
I'm trying to flash jelly time, and how can I upload fast boot.img.. I'm sorry, switching from motorola has made understanding difficult also how do I know if it is unlocked?
and is it better to s-off?
can we talk by email? it's my user name at gmail.com

I tend to like doing this in a forum, because if I screw up giving you directions someone else will come by and say so. To check whether you are unlocked, reboot holding down volume-down and power. What does it say? S-Off is currently not an option and it is unknown when it will be one, but yes, S-Off is better.

I tried using aahk a few weeks ago before I realized that it wouldn't work. The phone was soft bricked after trying to use the downgrade file. 5 hours of tinkering and I got it to - s off and root but all I recall is using a combo of adb pushes, super one clicked some aahk..
Basically I 'mashed the keypad until I accidentally dialed the right number'.

Hmm..
But what can I do now? And thank you for your prompt responses, but I haven't been getting anywhere..
For starters, all I want to do now is to get it working...
How can I do that? I'll give custom ROMS a shot once I'm done that..
Thanks

Flash a ROM from CWM. Then fastboot flash boot.img.

Hmm I found instructions regarding fastboot, but now it's a different problem..
<waiting for device>
i installed drivers, but perhaps not the right ones.. do I need any sdk or something? or any specific adb drivers?

Make sure the driver is installed when the usb cable is unplugged. That is crucial for some cases

If you are running it in windows environment, aahk should provide adb and fastboot command. Just run the hack.ace.cmd as administrator and after that just close it. It should be installed then. To check whether it is installed, just type adb or fastboot in command prompt. It should gives an info regarding adb and fastboot option..
But from your problem, it shows that the adb and fastboot is already installed, but there is a problem with usb connection.
The driver is provided in aahk inside windrivers folder.. Just install it with cable unplugged from phone.

@ Bananagranola, yes your right. I read attn1's post on his website 3 weeks ago about discontinuing and thought he already did.
I now recall my problem was the downgrade file not installing and issues installing cwm.
Inside the aahk I noticed flash_adb was set to flash_hboot which wasn't helping my efforts. I turned flash_adb on and I think that got things rolling. I still had to use super one click to finish the job but I read recently that flashing boot.img would have solved that.
I'd rather do things manually than automated but super one click worked well for me.

hmm.. but I'm soft bricked..
also now I made some progress: I'm able to use adb, but I get the signature verify error, meaning my bootloader apparently is not unlocked..
is that what it means?
and I'm using the boot.img from the froyo official rom..
please help! anyone?

Anyone?

Are you trying to flash a ROM? The boot.img you need is the one in that ROM zip, not one in a Froyo RUU.

Unroot

Is there any way to unroot verizon htc one and return back to stock?

How did you "root" it?

Possibly similar problem
I may have a similar problem, and for the sake of putting this all in one spot I'm going to respond here. If this would be better suited as a new thread let me know and I'll do that instead.
I have a Verizon HTC One that I had run RumRunner on to "root" it, but rumrunner got interrupted. When attempting to run the program again I get the error: 'you have stupid issues. you suck.. run rumrunner again'. I was told this error points to "non factory kernel/system". I am interested in reversing whatever happened during what I imagine to be the original failed rumrunner attempt.
Let me know what specific information you would need to help. And again, if I should just make my own thread let me know.

Was your phone 10000% stock before you ran it? Did you download the correct rumrunner for your phone aka, .2, .8, .10? Mabye try to run it again after a factory reset.

From what I gather the problem was the the partially run rumrunner managed to flash the kernel, if that makes sense. I have flashed it back and will be attempting to rerun it tonight. If that doesn't work I'll go the way of doing a factory reset to see if that helps.

There is an ruu method yes. But you have to be s-off and you have to relock your bootloader before flashing. I've done it a few times myself with the decrypted RUU Zarboz posted.

[Q] Need Rumrunner Help Please!!!!!!!!

Hello All,
I would have posted this in the rumrunner for vzw one forum but I am a new member so I cannot post on dev forums yet. I need to achieve s-off because I want to install CWM and install the stable build of CM10.2 that came out yesterday. I am by no means a noob as I been rooting and flashing custom roms on every android phone I have ever owned all the way back to the OG Droid. Although I am by no means a professional either, I guess I am just good at following write ups online put together by the people that actually build for Android.............or so I thought.
I followed a couple of articles I found online about using Rumrunner for the vzw one to achieve s-off for the device. I have installed the correct htc drivers and have disabled all firewalls and antivirus programs running. The device has USB debugging enabled as is all security settings on the device are are turned of just like the articles say. The trouble is when I execute rumrunner the program goes through the usual test ( boots into fastboot and then adb) and then reboots into fastboot, and then adb again. Then it says device detected and then says waiting for device. Here is where the trouble begins. The program will just sit there and say waiting for device and keep rebooting the device and looks like this below ( I cannot screenshot it because I have already closed it out but it looks just like below)
Waiting for Device
...........................................
Waiting for Device
............................................

It will just keep doing this and whille rumrunner is doing that on the computer, the device is rebooting, staying on the homescreen like a normal startup, and then rebooting again. I have tried this on two computers and it gets stuck at the same spot. Any help would be great appreciated I have no idea what im doing wrong
Thanks

Sounds like you're using the wrong version for your firmware. Double check in settings about phone software info. You'll need to make sure firmware numbers match the version of rumrunner you're using. Either .2 .8 .10 or .15 at the end of the number

This is exactly right. I had the same problem as you. I just needed to use the .15 instead of .10 or whatever I was using. I now have s-off, I just don't know how to actually root it from here

To root you need to flash either twrp or cwm recoveries and flash superuser or supersu via those. Check the original development sections for flyhalfs post of either recovery. Download them and boot into fastboot USB. Then open fastboot from the same folder the adb.exe file is in and use the command ' fastboot flash recovery (whatever you name the file).IMG this will give you recovery. And I'm out of time on break to give directions for superuser hopefully someone can post the rest
Make sure you put the recovery image into the same folder as adb

That was exactly it. I was using the .10 rumrunner version and when I needed .15. Thanks for all your help guys

[Q] Rooting Verizon HTC One Help.

I have an HTC One from the Verizon network (updated today to 4.2.2) and have been scouring Google and the rest of the internet for a way to root it. I mostly just come up with guides for other HTC One models or old tutorials that no longer work. here is what i have tried:
* I tried the HTCDEV website to try and unlock it, but constantly got error 160: MID Not Allowed.
* So, I tried making the CID 1111111, but that spat out error "INFO[JAVACARD_ERR] SD/USBDISK Init error"
* I have tried using rumrunner, but it spat out that i needed root (needing root to get root, makes sense)
* I also tried using firewater (the temproot method) but that just gave me error:
"error in setsockopt().
Failed to get prepare_kernel_cred address.
Failed to get commit_creds address.
Failed to get ptmx_fops address.
Failed to setup variables."
Is there any proven way to do it? I'm at the end of my rope.

Do you mean you upgraded to 4.4.2? If so, you're SOL for now. You don't need root with rumrunner, but it's for 4.2. Firewater is for 4.3.

No, unfortunately the only way to do that is if you're s-off. Beaups has done a great job and giving us the ability to achieve s-off so I'm sure he's probably working on a method already.

Correction:
I just received a replacement for a damaged HTC One. It was running 4.2.2. I can confirm that firewater does work on 4.2.2 (and is quite a bit faster and smoother than rumrunner was).

Can you update me when the new S-off tool comes out?

Unless you know a person with a java card then you might have awhile to wait. It took. Awhile for us to get rumrunner and before that you had to send your phone off to a guy with a java card to achieve s off. If you desperate enough might see if that guy still has his java card. He charged 20 bucks to unlock the phone.

I think it's up to you to check this Forum (or other sites on the world-wide web) to learn about new developments.

Possible solution
vzw1files DOT dyndns DOT org go here and download the stock ruu for Android 4.2 and flash it through fastboot oem rebootRUU. This will effectively downgrade you to hboot 1.44 so you can use rumrummer to achieve s-off and unlock the bootloader. Then you run the OTA to get all the new firmware and hboot 1.56, THEN flash custom recovery if you decide to use other roms. Good luck

You'd be the savior for a lot of people right now, but I'm pretty positive you can't downgrade unless you're s-off.
