Bricked Desire, out of ideas

Good afternoon:
Recently my sister in law gave me his Desire so I could take a look at it.
She says the phone started to freeze a lot and random reboots. Then the phone won't switch on at all, when it did it showed a white screen (I suspect she talks about the bootloader one). Next the phone never booted again, showing the htc screen with four exclamation triangles in the corners.
She is not an experienced user at all, the phone is a Vodafone one, unlocked.
It had the latest Vodafone stock rom installed. The phone doesn't have root, S-OFF or a gold card.
I tried to flash it with the latest Vodafone UK ruu and the gingerbread one from Shipped Roms and it fails with an error 152.
If I flash those roms with fastboot I get a FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail).
Both methods give me a RADIO_V2 - Fail-PU.
We can't send the phone to HTC because the company doesn't even exist in Argentina. Also the phone its from Spain, so we have no warranty at all.
Is there any hope?. I've tried searching the web but I had no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Whipon.

It's a radio brick. Contact HTC for warranty repair is the usual response....
No s-off, no fix

Thanks man. If it supports latest boot loader, perhaps we have another chance.
@stumpyz9: Don't worry, phone is not under warranty, and we don't have any HTC service in Argentina ^^.

Well you can't s-off because it doesn't boot. The only fix would be HTC.
You could try flashing a RUU from fastboot....

Flashing from fastboot gives me a remote error: FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail).
As I said we have no HTC repair service in Argentina.
All I can do is triying to fix it through the computer or throw it away u_u.
Can't I erase the radio and reflash it?. Do I need S-OFF to do that?.

can u flash a recovery

yah s-off would be required, but thats kind of impossible, and if your gunna throw it away you could always send it to me lol, i love to take **** apart
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I know you have no HTC. But that is only option.
Throw it in the bin or sell for spares maybe then. You can't fix broken device without s-off, you can't s-off without working device.
Even if s-off, fix is very unlikely. HTC swap out the mother board when this happens, so nothing you can do
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

lol
You will laugh a lot when you know how I fixed it.
I had another Desire with its digitizer cracked. It was from a friend who dropped it.
I just swapped the motherboards.
The dissasembly and assembly videos in Youtube were very usefull .
It was a lot of fun.
Thank you very much for all your help .

A good question
Wait a minute, how she can prevent this from happening again?.
She just was using his phone as a normal user. The phone was plain stock.

Excellent.
Well you can't prevent it if she didn't.do anything to cause it. It was probably destined to go faulty from the start

Should I S-OFF the "new" phone?. New motherboard is from an almost new phone.
Just in case this issue appears again in the future.

Serious help needed, unknown baseband, no signal. HTC won't repair..

Hello fellow hox xda people... I am very stuck in this situation, gutted because I love my hox.
It started when I lost my phone signal for a few hours.. stupidly in a panic I tried to flash stock recovery to try and fix it.. then I noticed my imei and baseband showing as "unknown".. I have relocked and run the ruu but the problem still remains.. I fear u have somehow corrupted the radio partition...
It isn't the sim because that works in another phone, I have tried another sim but still no signal.
I sent it to HTC to repair under warranty but because it had been relocked the won't touch it without me paying £150 to replace main board..
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?
I am waiting for the next official update to come and see if writing the new radio will fix it...

Seems like you've screwed your IMEI. This happened to me on the SGS2 where my EFS got corrupted luckily I had saved my EFS and managed to flash it back.
Not sure if this method also applies to HTC products, or it could be your phone has a hardware fault. If they are trying to charge you then nothing you can do I'm afraid then just cough up especially if it is a corrupted EFS.
Edit : EFS only applies to the Samsung phones, seems like your radio is screwed, if you still have your phone there is a radio thread on the development section, flash a radio again and it might just restore it back.

Thank-you for your reply... I did notice similar problems with gs2 when doing research on Google. I have looked at the radio which leads me to think I may be up the proverbial creak... I did try flashing the new leaked radio but with no luck... I do have quite a bit of blind faith in the up coming official update... is there a way of formatting the radio partition and the ruu re-writing it?

We can't really do anything in regards to that as we have no S-OFF. Where we can flash radios and rils. Still clueless how it would have damaged it as we don't have S-OFF.

Just relock your bootloader, flash with an RUU (branded or unbranded) and everything should be fine. This kind of thing happens once in a while. It happened with my S II and Sensation back in the day

Hi, and thank-you for your response. I have tried that numerous time but still have the same problem, I have flashed the leaked radio too on various roms to no avail..

That's very odd. That's what I've always done when my IMEI or baseband goes missing. Flashing the official OEM ROM usually writes the ROM, kernel and the baseband if I'm not mistaken. Kinda like when you flash a OEM firmware to the iPhone. It writes over everything hence why you have to use a custom ROM that doesn't update the baseband if you want to preserve your SIM unlock.
I installed Android Revolution HD 7.2.1 the other day (nice ROM by the way). Decided I wanted the benfits of Francos r12 kernel. Flashed it and then had no GSM signal. Baseband and IMEI were both unknown. Thought to myself "f*^k here we go again".
Downloaded this. Went back into the bootloader. Relocked it via adb. Then whilst still in the bootloader, I clicked on the RUU that I downloaded from here.
Once everything booted back up, had GSM, IMEI and baseband back. Proceeded to unlock the bootloader and flash ARDH 7.2.1 again but left out Francos kernel for the time being lol.

More for the legal heads etc. here, but HTC-Dev's website states:
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.
If you should require support, please feel free to contact us via the support section of our website, http://www.htc.com

It specifically says security is left on to protect the radio etc. - surely this should then be covered by HTC as, according to them, there's no way we could break it. The way I see it, either their 'security' didn't work, or the problem isn't caused by a bootloader unlock?

Hahaha! I couldn't help it. I just had to flash Francos r12 kernel again and what do you know? No IMEI and baseband. All good though. Restored from a nand backup I did earlier this evening and all is well again. Downloaded the kernel again just to make sure the md5 wasn't bung, flashed and same thing happened again. So when you get your HOX working again, don't flash Francos r12 kernel lol.

That applies to every device apart from, maybe, Tegra3. The radio might be accessible.

have the same insuee... yesterday i pick my phone and it has no signal...i think no problem reboot the phone...and no changes.. after i see that imei is unknown and baseband too... the phone with or without sim when i open sim slot says that has a problem to see the sim.. root relock flash stock and other roms is not helped -.-
sorry for my english guys.. but seriosly i tryed a lot of things nothing to do -.-
now i'm downloading an old RUU for flash it to change the radio...

If I'm not mistaken you can't roll back the radio using an old ruu.. I think I tried but it failed. I have also flashed the latest ota update but that didn't work either.. beginning to think its hardware as the weekend before it first happen it was dropped onto its screen from chair height with no immediate problems or damage... really struggling with this..

Not trying to start a flame war or anything, but this is why I stopped buying HTC phones and went with the S3. Because ever since they started with this HTCDev garbage, modding your phone became ridiculously difficult.

no way need s-off to downgrade hboot... s-off is not possible for now.. w/o javacard......i don't have idea what to do.. then f-.ck all.. drop my hand down and monday send my phone to htc and cross the fingers for free repair...
p.s. i think..to go to an phone store and say that i wanna see an one x white/grey and change it accendentely.. (stupid and illegal but can work )
edit: it's hardware fault i think..

[Q] HTC WFS- Mobile Internet Problems across all ROMS (Stock and Custom)

I don't understand why. It all started when I flashed a stock MetroPCS ROM. It worked perfectly, WIFI, everything. I could talk on the phone, message... No MMS. However, whenever I had WIFI off, Mobile Internet would say: Turning on.... Forever! I couldn't use anything that required network access, except phone and messaging. Can anyone help me?

Have you tried a factory reset?

It's your radio problem. Update/downgrade to RUU 2.13.401.3 which has radio version 7.54.39.28M. It is a very good radio for European marvel GSM. Which I use.

Thanks! I'm going to try now. Just forgot how to update via RUU. Will try Fastboot USB style. I read the ReadMe, and did it how it was supposed to be done. But the RUU is not reading my phone. It says "USB Error something." So I went to my SDK and saw that the Google USB Driver was installed. I'm off to find an HTC USB driver. Feel free to help me find one ;P
Edit: Still haven't been able to flash RUU. I would be greatful in one of the 50+ people looking at this would help! ;P

dude, i guess yours is a CDMA phone. the radio is different from that of GSM.. NEVER TRY TO FLASH GSM RADIO ON A CDMA PHONE..

Hah, I know Thing is... I forgot how to flash one. LOL

Ok.. Wow. I would go to HBOOT and it would SAY updating. It finishes, nothing changes.

If no software solution works, I'd recommend you send it in for servicing, it's probably a hardware fault.

I doubt it. It's been working since I flashed the ROM.

If it's working, mark your thread as solved, or at least post an update stating so.

Trust me... I would! I wish it was working. When flashing the image in HBOOT, it goes up to Parsing Image.... and then nothing.

If anyone is wondering, I still need help...

I've tried. If I use the MetroPCS one, it says, "Already updated.." or something like that.

You can get the HTC USB Driver buy downloading HTC Sync, just make sure that HTC Sync is killed when doing it though or you'll run into some problems..

[Q] Stuck DesireHD, can still get HBOOT, OrangeUK, help! (Noobishness within)

Hi all,
After scouring the intertubes for 2 days, I've had to give in and beg for wisdom on this one.
Recently inherited a Desire HD from my wife, factory-reset but loaded with Orange crapware, so I thought I'd crack on and root straight away.
Went for it with the AAHK kit, however it hung at the white screen after restarting, and have had no life out of it ever since. I can still access the HBOOT screen and Bootloader, from which I managed to query the device infor, CID etc, see attached file. HBOOT info is:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.09.04.11_M2
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011,00:55:45
I've tried to get the firmware up and running again with various RUU's, with and without the goldcard I've made, and am now at a loss! The RUU will initially look to be working, get some way into the progress bar before returning the error message - 'The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.'
As the device can switch on, it's clearly not a brick, just incredibly stuck!
Can anyone help me get this going again, ideally unbranded and rooted?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, the phone is still s-on.
Did you try to run aahk again on the phone?
What system did you use to run aahk on? Maybe try the method with the ubuntu boot cd to rule out any problems with the host computer.
Since the phone is still S-ON you can only install signed images. But the RUU ones should work.
Did you also try to copy the RUU to the SD-Card (adb push "RUU-File" /sdcard/PD98IMG.zip) and boot into hboot?

[Q] Updated Radio - No Sim Card - No Service

Hi everyone,
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction on an issue I am experiencing with my G2.
I am not new to flashing roms, etc, but I ran into an issue upgrading my radio to the latest T-mobile version (.30). I followed the instructions correctly and it updated through HBOOT and I restarted the phone. All was fine, I was connected to WiFi, T-mobile's network, and GPS locked on nice and quick. This morning, the Jelly Bean rom I had just installed last night (and tested the new radio with) froze on a black screen. I pulled the battery out and restarted and was unable to connect to the Tmobile network. It says: No Sim Card - No Service.
I've searched and tried everything I could find in the forums with no success. I tried an EFS wipe, reinstall of the rom after a clean wipe, reverting to the old radio version I had, restoring my previous Jelly Bean rom that worked fine with the old radio, and nothing seems to work.
I finally registered here and hope someone can assist me with getting my phone working again.
Thanks!

It sounds like either hardware or firmware, its possible your simcard slot randomly went bad. But before you go and replace it I would do a full partition. Boot to hboot and write down everything on that screen

Reading more of the post I am thinking I do not have true s-off because of my current CID info. Guess I will try that first!
Thanks again!

What method did you use to root and gain soff? If you used gfree then I would use your eng bootloader to change cid
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And then I would flash one of those pc10img.zips I linked you to (post 30)
If you didn't use gfree then unroot and son, then follow the xda wiki to root properly
These steps should fix your problem if its software/firmware
And if it won't fix almost for sure hardware

I am pretty sure I followed this method back in 2010. My phone has been s-off and rooted ever since. Am I not truly s-off? I am a bit confused!

Sorry, had to wait 5 minutes to edit the post!

Well I'm questioning if you are being you don't have supercid, this is usually something you would get along with the rooting process. That same post I linked you will tell you how to check, be sure you confirm as you may run into issues otherwise

If I were truly rooted, would I be able to change my CID or not?
Thanks again!

Well rooted is the wrong term, you have an engineering bootloader and so with this you can change cid, but this isn't my concern. There is true radio soff and fake soff, fake soff can cause issues when flashing pc10img.zips,
this is why I would highly recomend checking, like I said the instructions are there. Let me know if you have issues

Sooo...I did not unroot, root, and all that jazz again. I felt risky, installed the pc10img from the link you gave and it worked without a hitch...except it did not fix my sim card issue. I finally had another tmobile phone to test with and it was a dead/fried sim card. I had an extra, had it activated and tada! It worked. I am enjoying the new recovery though compared to CWM.
Thanks again for your time and help!

Well I'm glad it all worked! Yeah it seemed like hardware and I'm glad it was the chip vs the phone!
