.76 Hboot Issues

Hey guys,
I downgraded the 2.10 hboot on my Evo to .76, and I have done this countless times in the past on other Evo's. This one has turned out to be different. It only enters hboot and RUU mode. I ran several RUU's and it fails, which led me to find out that it has bad blocks due to the previous partitions being different stock. I am unaware of a way to repair bad blocks...Just thought I would double check.
BTW, only a few partitions will flash. The others have bad blocks and will fail, including hboot. I wanted to send this thing to HTC but with the hboot being ENG I don't think it'll help too much...
Any suggestions?

Ok. Tell me exactly what partitions flash
Sent by breaking the sound barrier

Ok I just tried flashing all the partitions I could find an image for. The only ones to successfully flash without an 'image update error' was microp and nv.
I ran 'fastboot oem partition_test' and it spit out so many bad blocks it would be ridiculous to post here.

Do fastboot boot recovery.img

RA recovery reboots to black screen, stock recovery does nothing.

You might have to bring it in man. Im running low on ideas.

No. The phones are done. Next time please read my post from a year ago before you try downgrading your Hboot before another phone gets burned.

[Q] Phone Stuck Operator Logo (no USB debugging)

Hi,
My HTC Desire HD is currently stuck at the operator logo screen. I've tried removing rebooting battery going into boot-loader, resetting factory settings but still no luck.
Also as there is no way for me to boot into the phone to turn on USB debugging to re flash what can I do.
I've tried fastboot via boot loader it doesn't recongise the device on the pc (as I believe USB debugging not enabled)
please help

How did you end up like this? adb works only with a fully booted rom and not in hboot. Factory reset deletes the usb debugging drivers, so you wont be able to use it now. You can use fastboot command to flash in fastboot usb.
Are you able to boot in hboot? and are you S-OFF? then try flashing a ruu from fastboot. Use the guide in my signature to help yourself...if you need further help, just let me know.

Have you flashed the boot.img in fastboot? That is the way to flash a custom rom with an unlock bootloader....check the guide in my signature to help yourself. If you need further help, just let me know.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop | no recovery,no factory reset.

hello everyone,
i've looked over similar threads,but i got lost in all the comments and download links.
so here's the story :
few days ago phone decides to shut down on its own (no tampering on my side at all)
i take the battery out,put it back in,stuck in bootloop,try it again and phone boots up normally.
next day it happens again,this time my method doesn't help bring me back to the OS and just keeps me in the white screen htc logo boot.
so i boot into Hboot,try to reset factory settings,it just goes back to the boot logo loop.
same issue with trying to boot into recovery.
here's my device details :

i tried flashing different pd89img versions,with or without clockwork but none of them worked.
the most advanced staged i got to was a certain pd89img being verified by my device and after it was done reflashing the different components.
it kept going to a bootloop.
also,my usb debugging is off.
any help would be greatly appriciated.

Hey
First off, you're gonna wanna remove the IMEI from the info, that's personal info you don't want to give away, just a heads up.
Second, what ROM/Kernel you running buddy?,
I believe you're gonna have to flash a custom recovery from fastboot, but I may be wrong..
If you need some extra help urgently, feel free to post in the Ace Think Tank (in my signature) to get some info, resident expert Glevitan should be able to help you out

*update*
i managed to use htc's hboot update via fastboot+usb
then i flashed an updated rom using their RUU.
managed to use the htcdev unlock method.
flashed CWM,restarted phone but alas it is still stuck in a bootloop and wont boot into neither recovery or factory reset.
any suggestions?

Hmm...

Did I help you? Hit THANKS!
Galaxy S3 (New love interest, stock)
Desire HD (Retired, REVOlution)
Galaxy Note 10.1 (Big Bad Wolf, stock)

First thing you might want to try is to use this command
fastboot erase cache. If the phone then hangs we need to try the next method by rebooting to fastboot USB.
Run the RUU and look into %temp% for a rom.zip and place that file in the root of c:
Put your phone into Fastboot USB then type the following
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip c:\rom.zip
Let that finish and redo fastboot flash zip c:\zip then issue fast reboot.
If that boots then your ok but if the phone freezes upon doing any fastboot command other then fastboot getvar all the chances are you have a fried EMMC chip which will required replacement and a Jtag session.

S-OFF Problem

Hi all.
i apologise if something similar has been posted, I can see nothing that matches my situation thus far.
I used to have a DHD which was S-OFF, sim unlocked, rooted and so on which I passed on to a relative when I upgraded, and went with samsung suff for a while.
Now I'm back on a Desire HD I bought from eBay, which works fine, its unlocked, and so on.
But I want to go to an older revision of android, or a custom one for performance reasons, because as it stands, the stock rom on it is useless.
I have CWM Touch recovery installed, and I have an unlocked bootloader, but no matter what I try I cannot S-OFF the phone.
I have tried installing custom roms which go nowhere, because from what I can gather, S-ON wont let it boot.
The phone was originally locked to Orange, and is branded with thier logo etc.
Android 2.3.5
Sense 3.0
Software Number 2.13.61.5
HBOOT-2.00.0029
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
Is it possibe to S-OFF this phone or am I stuck with it this way?
I've tried ACE Hack Tools, but it didnt really get very far. I tells me to download PD98IMG-GB2 which I did (once I managed to find it) and tried to flash it, which also went nowhere. Nothing works, that I know of at the minute anyway.
Anyone know anything else to try or what I'm missing?
Thanks.

U need to connect device to PC and issue a cmd prompt "adb reboot bootloader". Then in bootloader ,type fastboot getvar all..and post its results
WE need these details so we can properly assist you.

If you want to S-OFF your device you should read this guide very carefully.
In the first step it's telling you to take a backup your kernel (boot.img) using dd command from root shell if you want to make the current rom working again after the s-off process.You could also make a nandroid backup from your recovery instead.
Then you have to make a goldcard in order to flash an RUU without a signature verification.If you want to downgrade your firmware you should downgrade your misc version to a lower value from the version of the RUU you are going to use to downgrade.You have also to flash an unsecured kernel (for example the boot.img that's included in ace-tools folder) and the revolutionary recovery (included in ace tools) in order to make the process correctly.
After that you can flash the firmware.zip cooperative with the radio exploit to be able to s-off your device with g-free.(In order to be able to flash the zip you have to relock your bootloader)
After this process has been made correctly you should be able to see S-OFF in your bootloader and you can restore kernel and recovery or a nandroid backup to make your device working again.You can also use an RUU.But definitly you have to upgrade your firmware after the process.
* You don't have to upgrade hboot as long as you have HBOOT-2.00.0029 *

At first you have not to make a boot.img.
Secondly with dd command you can copy a hole disk or partitions either sectors in raw mode.The only think that the S-OFF guide describes you do with it is to backup your original kernel by backing up your hole boot partition in order to make you rom working again (after the S-OFF proccess).
The guide for S-OFF I gave you describes exactly how to make a goldcard using a root shell.You have not to do something special but to follow this guide.
A little more specificly:
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
This command gives you the goldcard number of your phone.
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c {sd card cid above} -o /data/local /tmp/goldcard.img
This command creates a goldcard token with your goldcard number.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/goldcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1
And this command writes the goldcard.img (token) we created on your sdcard in raw mode.(By making your sdcard gold you could flash anything.It could also break your device if you don't know what are you flashing)

means I should stay away, as I AM novice user. If any thing goes wrong i will be in deep trouble.

I just explaned you what you are going to do with those proccesses like you asked me.If you don't understand or you don't feel free to make the proccess you shouldn't try it at all.As long as you follow the right instractions and you apply them correctly you have nothing to be afraid.(You have to remember that any time something could go wrong even if it is not your fault like some power failure).
But personally I think the only risky part is to make the proccess of radio downgrade right.After that it should be a piece of cake to make the S-OFF trick.

Aahk 2. Here on xda

Yes, the AAHK2 does not work for me, hence starting this thread. However, I solved my issue. The trick to it is not S-OFF at all, it merely requires an unlocked bootloader. Is probably slightly more hassle than S-OFF, but I don't care, it works. All you need to do is extract the "boot.img" from the ROM you want. Place it in your ADB folder.
Install the ROM via recovery and then reboot to the bootloader (you can do this via adb but for my sakes I removed the battery and used vol- & power to boot into it.
Then you flash the boot.img using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then "fastboot reboot" and it should work fine, I managed to load up cyanogen mod not a problem this way. Whereas before, installing a rom would not work whatsoever.

You don't need to S-OFF if all you want to do is flash a custom ROM. You do need an unlocked bootloader, and a recovery installed.
Assuming both of those are the case, do the following: On your computer, download the custom rom you want and and open it (it should be a .zip file) in any file archive utility and find its "boot.img" and extract it. If you can't find it manually, search for it, winrar allows you to do this. Place it in the same folder as your adb and fastboot tools for instance mine is C:\adb
Copy the custom ROM.zip file to your phones SD card, and install it normally via the recovery. Once this is done, reboot the device into the bootloader. I do this by just taking the battery out quickly and putting it back in, and then holding Vol Down & Power. when the boot loader shows, highlight the "fastboot" option and press the power button, then connect it to your computer via usb. Then on your computer, (i assume windows), press the windows flag key and the R at the same time, this brings up the Run prompt. Type CMD in it to open the command promt. then navigate to yoru adb folder using the "CD" command, for example:
CD C:\adb
once you have done that, type the following:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(remember I said to place the boot.img in the same folder as your fastboot/adb tools)
It should push the boot.img that you extracted earlier to the phone, its usually very quick. Once you've done this, type:
fastboot reboot
and then unplug your usb cable. The phone will take a while to start up, but it will work, regardless of S-ON or S-OFF. My phone is S-ON and I can flash ROM's using this method.

Thanks for This Great Help
I decided to give it a try, did all as you said but when I went to recovery mode there is nothing but Red Triangle and Disk Image.
Now what to do?

it sounds like you need to flash a recovery first of all. I have attached a recovery image you can use, its is TWRP; you need to flash this via the bootloader. copy the recovery.img to the same place as your adb folder, take the battery out of your phone and put it back in and hold Vol Down & Power, and then highlight the fastboot option and connect it to your computer. Then using CMD (Windows flag & R) go to your adb folder (cd:\adb) and type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
when this completes sucessfully, type "fastboot reboot recovery", which should take you straight there, then continue with the previous post instructions.

HTC M8 Stuck in Recovery Mode!!! Please help a noob

Hi there, A friend at work has given me his M8 which appears to be stuck in recovery mde t see if i can get it back to working or can do anything with it.
I have samsung phones myself and while i know how to flash a stck rom etc to these, reading on some of the threads here it seems alot more complicated process on the HTC....
I have not had any experiencewith HTC devices since the HD2 days (what a great phone) so really need someone to walk me through what software/firmware i need and where to find it and what to do with it?
At the moment, it turns on, then goes into the recovery menu, then I choose wipe data/cache, and restore factory etc, but it then just comes up with done, choose the reboot option to come back to the recovery mode again........
I think it is a stock uk/eu release of the M8, don't know what network it was on or whether it was rooted/unlocked before hand.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

In the recovery menu I believe there is reboot to bootloader option. Select that, then tell us what's written on the bootloader
Search on how to do fastboot getvar all then post the result without serial & imei no.
Then we'll see anything we can offer to help
