Another Desire stucks on boot thread :(

Hey,
I've already read through similar threads.
But as my situation differs from the other threads, I've decided to open my own thread.
Situation
- My brothers Desire isn't rooted
- He alwaysupgraded OTA (Android 2.2 hbot 0.93)
- Today my brother asked me rooting his phone too
What we've done:
We followed that guide until step 13. In other words: Basically we've done nothing except installing a driver
However:
Since then my brothers Desire stucks on boot. It's even impossible to enter the recovery mode, he can only access his bootloader menue
He already tried to put it into the freezer - without success
Suggestions?
thx

Can you get into fastboot ? Back button (not volume down) + power button.

Hi Paul,
thx for your quick answer! Yes, I can get into fastboot

Cool. First of all we need to know if you phone was branded (it had a ROM made for a provider. Was you phone network locked or it had any logos ? Do you have any idea ?
You have to download one of these RUUs. After downloading start in fastboot and run the exe file.
Here is a tried solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14137822&postcount=9

Cool! So far the solution sounds pretty easy
As he bought the Desire with a contract, it's likely branded.

Which RUU do you think is yours ? Where are you from and which provider is it ? My phone was on contract too but it wasn't branded.
Find you RUU here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667

He bought the phone from A1(Austria)
My phone was on contract too but it wasn't branded.

So it's possible that his phone isn't branded too. I'm not able to match one of these ROMs with A1

Debranding guidance needed from the very expert Guru

Hi Gurus,
Since the last two weeks , I have tried almost all the options to debrand the Htc Desire Orange UK version, but not success, Below was my cell stock information when I purchased it.
Htc Desire Black Edition (PVT1) not brown one
Froyo 2.2
Hboot = 0.93.0001
Radio = 5.10
CID=ORANG001
I wanted to debrand it to generic from the Orange then I rooted it with UnRevoked and S-Off through AlphaRev and executed the file "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe" from shipped Roms.
After that I got the Radio V2 Fail, When I restarted the cell, there was no display, even the charging light was off.
I contacted a person that has RiffBox, he flashed it and changed the CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001.
My cell new configuration is as below :
Hboot=0.930001
Radio=4.06
CID=HTC__001
Right now I have only fastboot and hboot access with no ROM in cell phone .
After that I tried almost all the Roms from the shipped-roms's bravo secton, they gives 2 types of error upon executing :
1. partition update failed (error on Radio v2 pu fail)
2. signature verification failed.
I want to debrand my cell to generic one , so that I can get rid of Orange stuff.
I am stuck at that point, needed the expert guidance to pass through this situation.
Thanks

No Guru answered till yet !!!

Given that you are s-off and rooted why would you not just install one of the stock rooted ROMs from the second post in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
I personally would not have changed the CID, can you install your stock RUU anymore?

Thanks 'welshbloke70' for reply.
Well, After having flashed with RiffBox my cell is no longer rooted or s-off.
Currently I have just fastboot and only hboot menu access. RECOVERY is not operational now.
When I turned on the cell, it directly comes to fastboot menu due to no
ROM in cell after flashing. So in this case I can only install from RUU or PB99IMG.zip, the xda link you gave have all the the ROMS but for rooted cell phones.
As now I have changed CID (HTC__001) which is the generic one, so I dont get any CID error upon installing generic RUU.
Any other suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Paul,
I think the Gurus/expert are there are too much busy thats why they can not respond.
Well I saw your given link. It requires clockworkmod or Armon recovery, currently I am not rooted, so can not use the roms there.
Thanks,

Do you have a Gold Card??? Cause your problem sounds pretty bad. Since you aren't rooted and you don't have a recovery, it is pretty obvious that you can't install a custom ROM.
I guess you tried also the latest version of RUU which is 2.29.405.5 if you are from EUROPE.
From what I've read you can flash an branded RUU or another RUU on a branded phone only if you have a Gold Card. Now I don't know if this applies to you since you are no longer branded, but you can give it a shot if you haven't tried yet.
I think there is a tutorial on how to make a Gold Card even if you can't access the phone or see the screen. I'll look for it and post it here.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks 'UsManyDead' for taking interest in my case. The answers are as below :
1. Yes, I have gold card, for now its useless. Because as I know we need the gold card only if we are going to install a rom that is different from the current cell CID.
In my case I have already changed my CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001 and any generic RUU supports HTC__001 so there is no need of gold card in my case.
2. Any custom rom can not be installed due to fact that cell is no more rooted.
Only PB***.zip or Ruu can solve the problem. I have tried almost all the roms and ruu from shipped-roms. but they give 2 types of errors as I mentioned in my first post. I have also tried 2.29.405.5 many times but no success.
I know the options are becoming very few , but I hope that I will pass through this failure from you and xda community users.
Any other advice will be welcomed.
Thanks

Hello once again. I just read a little more about your problem, which is very rare but found some good threads you should read and try.
REMEMBER TO READ THEM IN FULL ( FROM FIRST PAGE TILL THE LAST ONE ) and maybe post your problem there, might be easier to get help.
First thread: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 ( even if it is for bricked SLCD, something in there might actually help, for example how to get the PB99IMG.zip from a RUU file)
Second thread (a continuation of the first): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734
Third thread (where I actually found your exact problem): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000385 . Someone explains some kind of "voodoo" to be done to repair the error you get, and there are positive results, and I think you can use the first 2 thread to get the PB99IMG.zip.
Give it a try and remember to read them in full to understand. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi mate don't know if this can help you....i got usb bricked with my rooted and s-off desire. I flashed a an RUU thinking it would solve my issue but of course it just left me with a USB Brick unrooted! You can't write to that and no access with Adb. I got great help from Unrevoked page which fixed me by getting me back to root.
I summarised the process here:

Hope you might have success with your issue. If this does not help directly you might follow the link to the help page on UnRevoked.....
Sent with Desire.

Thank all of you for taking interest in my problem.
At the end I have got success BUT with failure. Here is my story.
1. Erased and Flashed with RiffBox with CID=11111111 (super id)
2. Kept cell phone in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
3. Installed the new ROM from PB99IMG.zip (PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip ) without any error.
4. Kept cell phone again in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
5. Started the cell phone for the first time and executed setup and went till the Home screen fine.
6. Tried some games and flash intensive web sites, and ohhh the phone rebooted.
It rebooted again and again. Untill I pulled out the battery and put it again after 30 minutes, but was unable to reach home screen.
Again kept the cell phone in refrigerator and phone works for a short time before it starts reboot loop.
So the main problem is rebooting now.
I spent nearly 16 hours on net , reading forums/posts for solution but at the end found that there is no solution except the motherboard replacement.
I am in PK and here is no HTC service center. I bought it second hand so dont have any warranty card/info with me.
So its just like a piece of scrape for me.
Anyways again thank you all for the great help. May be this refrigerator solution could work for anyone.
Thanks,
Ali

Have you tried changing cid back to orange and flashing correct ruu?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

No, I didn't try to change the CID to orange. And there is no orange related PB** or RUU on shipped roms.
I dont think Orange have done some customization in kernel or any other part.
I have seen threads running the generic version on orange brand phone. So it shouldn't be a issue, however bootloop problem is not related to either generic or orange brand rom , its related to motherboard.
Have you seen any post in which generic rom is initiating bootloop while the orange rom solved it ?
Thanks,
Ali

No Ali, I haven't. Seeing that you are in the dead end, I think that its worth trying everything from scratch. Don't know much about cid change, but could it be that cid is in a few places and now that you've changed it it sort of fights itself ? Will have a look into all this a bit later, I'm far from guru, but with a bit of luck should be able to find some info.

Hi tinky1,
Well, I have complete nandroid backup (boot, data, recovery and system images). I did it when I was rooted by unrevoked (clockworkmod).
Currently I have installed stock rom '2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_ release_159811', so how can I restore my earlier backup (i will again change the CID to orange, no issue) ?
Please remember i can not root now due to boot loop problem.
Any suggestion ?
Ali

So what do you actually have working? Bootloader, fastboot, recovery? Does phone bootloop when (if you can) you go into one of these?

Currently I have working fastboot and hboot. Recovery is not working , it stuck on HTC green logo.
Normal phone startup is also not functional, it reboots itself before it reaches 'Quietly Brilliant' logo.

I have managed to install Cyanogenmod 7 but the bootloop problem still exist. Analyzing the problem.

Then I was able to run those RUU...
RUU finalised but with errors, red triangle, again reverted to 2.1
another RUU... apparently 2.3.5 went ok. boot. and...
I CANNOT USE TOUCHSCREEN ANYMORE
sorry, im close to tears.
I can boot to HBOOT 2.00.0027
System boot to this Sense3.0 Andro 2.3.5
but I cannot swing unlock ring.
please help.
What to load up now to make my touch screen work again?
It was old phone no guaranty.

If you're still S-OFF, I believe you just need to flash a custom recovery and then flash a stock ROM. You didn't need to unroot to go back to the stock ROM. Instructions on how to flash a custom recovery are in the "need help" link in my signature. Look in the PDF linked from post #7 there.

Now I see I ve found this PDF before but, there is not much about unrooting.
i understand you are trying to tell me to use this guide to flash stock rom with adb (or custom recovery)?
Will I be able to get OTA back. and get the original 2.3.5?
Im worring that touchsreen stopped working because some drivers (digitizer) had been wrong. How to make sure which rom is stock? WWE? but...
Oh.. got chest pain again.
I feel small and alone here, in this phone rooting bushiness I let myself in.

No, flash a custom recovery. Instructions for that start at the bottom of page 9 of the guide. Then download the stock 2.3.5 rooted and flash it normally from recovery.
RUUs are all stock. Digitizer is hardware. Don't worry about the drivers.

No i'm not that guy.
but im scared as sh**.
"before i mess up my phone" ...thats what Im afraid of.
...just noted Teichopsia had deleted his reply. Do not know why?
I hate to ask this, but do you now good original unbranded rom for DHD A9191?
driphter and shipped roms are down.
so first step is to get custom recovery
then upload stock img-zip
then install it with custom recovery?
what if this will not help on the touch screen problem?
I was trying to get help at similar forum, on a similar problem, but this ROM that fixed them did not helped me. Still no touch. Either from phone or that forum..

Fastboot is not the same as ADB. Instructions for flashing something with Fastboot are very clearly documented in the PDF that glevitan and I both told you to read. Unfortunately, I believe you lost S-OFF when you ran that RUU (since your HBOOT version changed), which means you lost Fastboot ability. You're now beyond my understanding; you're going to need to wait for glevitan to show up with his wisdom and hope that he can help you.

Actually attn1 (creator of the advanced ace hack lit) told me that changing HBOOT won't affect your radio partition as it's located somewhere else. So he should still be S-OFF if he had it.

Help in solving bootloader issue

Please I have a peculiar problem, I pray you can assist me. I tried to root my telus dhd using advanced hack kit, after running the hack kit the phone failed to reboot. It stock at a blank bLack screen. To solve that, I mistakenly flash a froyo pd98img on a GB ROM. Since then, the phone takes about 20 to 30 minutes to boot. It will start with a splash screen and vibrate for about 10 minutes then takes another 10 minutes to boot. The problem is I can't enter boot loader and I can't use the hack kit again to return to stock since the phone won't reboot in the process.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks for your time.

And why exactly can't you enter the bootloader? Remove and re-insert your battery, Press Vol Down and Power button to boot into the bootloader.
Can you post the text that appears on the bootloader? Is your phone S-OFF yet?

Yes, it's messed up bootloader. Yesterday on #ahksupport, @attn1 gave an adb command, which after typing it, The phone booted to a black screen with HTC on it. Then he gave me a link to a file which he ask me to paste in cmd window. But unfortunately he changed his mind due my inability to respond swiftly to his question.
I have found the PDF, will give it a try. Thanks
Update: This is the file uploaded to by @attn1 yesterday. I believe it's an extracted and unlocked bootloader. The only problem is that I don't know how to flash it. If anyone can assist me.

Please I have a peculiar problem, I pray you can assist me. I tried to root my telus dhd using advanced hack kit, after running the hack kit the phone failed to reboot. It stock at a blank bLack screen. To solve that, I mistakenly flash a froyo pd98img on a GB ROM. Since then, the phone takes about 20 to 30 minutes to boot. It will start with a splash screen and vibrate for about 10 minutes then takes another 10 minutes to boot. The problem is I can't enter boot loader and I can't use the hack kit again to return to stock since the phone won't reboot in the process.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks for your time.

Sounds like a messed bootloader. Go to the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature. Find the PDF in post #7. In that, read about the messed bootloader fix.

Is yours Telus too? I downloaded an RUU intending to flash it using windows, the computer detects the phone but I was afraid. I read in some forums that flashing the RUU in this situation can lead to brick! Pls advise me. Thanks for the reply

Just make sure you read properly how to do it before proceeding. Read the guide bananagranola gave you and follow the instructions. We can help with almost anything but conquering your fear. Unless you want glevitan to connect to your computer via teamviewer and have him press 'next'.

Yes, it's messed up bootloader. Yesterday on #ahksupport, @attn1 gave an adb command, which after typing it, The phone booted to a black screen with HTC on it. Then he gave me a link to a file which he ask me to paste in cmd window. But unfortunately he changed his mind due my inability to respond swiftly to his question.
I have found the PDF, will give it a try. Thanks

Ok, this is what you have to do. I sent you the pastebin link in the IRC channel yesterday but afterwards attn1 told me that that solution would not work in your case. You need to flash that HBOOT in this way:
Code:
adb reboot oem-78
wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13152450/ace/PD9812000_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hboot_0.85.0024.zip --no-check-certificate
fastboot flash zip PD9812000_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hboot_0.85.0024.zip
The code will also download the hboot....BE PATIENT IT WILL TAKE TIME TO FLASH...RELAX AND ENJOY

that is normal as you don´t have a RUU in your phone. Does it still take long time to boot in hboot? from there you should be able to flash a RUU as that hboot supports multiple CIDs

I don't think it worked as he is still showing the .007 boot which is froyo.
Question why wouldn't your guide work in this case? Is it because of it being the nam version(pd12000 vs pd10000)? Hboot versions not interchangeable?or something else that as mentioned in the irc

to be strictly plain I am not quite sure..but Attn1 told me that the fix in the guide will only work with just one RUU build 1.32.xxx can't remember now. So he has to flash a new hboot that will allow multiple CIDs...

Can I go ahead and flash an RUU now? If yes, can I flash any gb ruu or it has to be telus?
How do I flash it? Am I going to extract the image and place it on sd card or run the. exe file from computer.
Am highly grateful for the help. Thank you

Just one question...when you flashed the hboot did you get the OKAY.finished in the command prompt? Your is still at slow motion for booting??
If the answers to the question are: Yes. No...then you can flash an unbranded RUU and it should work. :good:

No, I didn't get OKAY in the command, It didn't show finished. The phone screen just showed black with HTC written on it for almost two hours. Then eventually it rebooted to white screen withe info I posted above. Yes it's still at the motion boot.

Then I don´t think you have flashed the hboot....the process will take 2 or 3 hours I guess. You need to get OKAY. Finished near the end to know that you have achived the goal.
If you want I can lend you a hand via teamviewer (http://www.teamviewer.com/) but you have to put the phone in fastboot usb first. When you are there just send me the ID and PASS over a Private Message (PM)...

[Q] buzz Wildfire Brick - No ROM, no CWM

Okay, so I've been searching for about a week; Google, XDA, forums, everything.
Backstory:
My friend found this wildfire at a bus stop, it had no Sim in it but an SD card (which he gave to a friend and has since been wiped).
I've unlocked and rooted a ZTE Skate (Orange Monte Carlo) for use with a GiffGaff Sim and Cyanogen. I'm quite computer Savvy and thought that I'd easily be able to do the same thing with this phone, with Google anything is possible!
Current Condition:
It's in the same state as when I got it, it doesn't have an OS. When you turn it on it just loops the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' boot loop, holding power and Volume down boots it into a white screen with text (I think this is called HBOOT).
This is the information on this screen:
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.01.0001
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_20aa
RADIO-3.35.20.10
Nov 17 2010,12:08:53

Plus options which I'm sure most of you are aware of.
When I select 'Recovery' it takes me to a picture of a phone with a large Exclamation mark (which is inside a triangle warning sign) over it. After a few moments I'm taken to the 'Android System Recovery' which I'm guessing is the stock recovery.
I've taken pictures of all these screens if anyone needs clarification and also of the back of the phone with the battery off (for the IMEI, etc).
What I've Tried:
I'll try make a list of everything I've tried here but I've tried a fair amount (nothing has actually effected the phone so it's still in it's original state).
Extracting the rom.zip from the RUU for the radio number of this phone and renamed it to update.zip. I then tried reading from update.zip from within 'Android System Recovery'. That didn't work, something about a signature not being valid.
Renaming the same rom.zip from 1. and renaming it to PC49IMG.zip/img so that the HBOOT screen could detect it but that was to no avail.
Running unrevoked(latest version) didn't work as the phone doesn't have an OS and every guide says to turn USB debugging on (which I can't do).
Running the RUU for this phone (which I judged from the RADIO version) didn't work either (it couldn't detect the phone).
Using ADB to push/flash recovery/boot/system and none of that has worked.
If I haven't provided some key piece of information then please let me know, I'd like to get this issue sorted as soon as possible!
Thanks in advance!

OK go to the development section and look for clockworkmod version 5.0.2.8 in pc49img format. Boot to bootloader with it on the root of the sdcard and Allow it to flash. Then flash rempuzzle or any other sense rom and your sorted pal

Thank you so much for the quick response!
I feel like this is getting somewhere now!
So I followed your advice and downloaded PC49IMG.zip from this post.
I copied it to the root of a clean 1GB SD card, booted the phone into Hboot which checks the connected SD card for a zip with that name, It comes up saying Loading PC49IMG.zip but then says 'No Image!'.
I know the SD card slot works and that the SD card works, am I doing anything wrong?
EDIT:
Just to keep the information on here up-to-date I've just posted in the thread I linked to earlier on in this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566677&page=4
When I try and flash recover it says:
sending 'recovery' (3324 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.962s]
writing 'recovery'///
FAILED (remote: note allowed)
finished. total time: 0.973s

I haven't tried removing the current recovery and putting cwm on with your alternative method because I'm scared that it won't let me write again and I'll just have no recovery and no hope for the phone!

This is what happened when I extracted recovery.img from PC49IMG.zip and tried to flash it over fastboot.

Fast boot will not work as that hboot does not have fastboot commands enabled pal. Give me 10 minutes to jump on the PC and I will help you out
edit: ok you definately need to use the pc49img method as your hboot does not have fastboot commands, the reason most people here can fastboot is the have revolutionary s-off, which added fastboot commands. i think either that phone came s-off or met with an xtc clip, hich has s-offed it and gave it sim unlock ect. so use the pc49img way of doing it, and keep the letters all caps, bar zip. like this PC49IMG.zip sometimes the bootloaders have a huff if its not worded right ;P

ok well if that fails, it could be a cid issue, but since your s-off should be easily sorted

Okay so what can you suggest for me to try next?

copy this to the root of the sdcard.
when it finds it it should say "jumping to diag", should give you 2 options, select diag. it should then come up with another 2 options of clean s58 data and device info. go down to device info first and look through it to check if the cid is 11111111.
if it is not copy it down.
then keep flicking through and it should bring you back to the clean s58data menu. clean the s58data. it should say readcid success and write cid success, or something along those lines. when it has finished reboot the device and leave it to see if it fully boots again.
this file is a leaked htc diagnostics utility, used with the xtc clip to s-off and give supercid and sim unlock. since you are s-0ff it will run and do its job, with the added bonus that it will hardcore factory reset the device wiping everything from it, hopefully fixing the bootloop in the process. if it does not then you will definately have supercid and be able to use any ruu you need to good luck and report back

I've cracked it!!!!
I was in the process of following the steps in your latest post. I was getting more frustrated because the diag file STILL wasn't being picked up by Hboot and I was at a loss.
I remembered I had an 8GB SD card not being used so I decided it was worth a try to repeat some of these steps with that in it. IT WORKED!
Hboot instantly picked up the diag utitility which makes me think that what was stopping me was that hboot doesn't like SD cards below 2GB (something I'd read about when unlocking my ZTE Skate).
So I restarted the phone with just the PC49IMG.zip on the sd card and low and behold it flashed CWM onto the recovery. Well. As anyone will tell you once you've got CWM on there then everything is nice and dandy! I flashed the latest CyanogenMod 7.2 nightly onto the phone, flashed the gapps and voila the phone is booting into CM7!!!
Thank you so much for your help in this heavy_metal_man, without you taking the time out to answer my questions I would have been lost!
Again, thank you so much. MY ISSUE IS RESOLVED!!!!
