Flashing Recovery Image with Unrevoked?
I am trying to
(1) unroot using Painless root by UnrEVOked
(2) flash a cooked ROM
Did you downloaded the hboot driver?
http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/l...unrevoked.com/recovery/android-usb-driver.zip
U should connect your Desire to pc and mount USB Storage and only after this run unrevoked.exe in admin mode Hboot mode should enter automatic.
Sry for my english ;-)
Edit: I think u want to root not unroot ? =)
The steps is as follow
1) Download the unrEVOked modified USB driver and expand it somewhere you will remember.
2) Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down.
3) Connect the phone to your Windows machine with a USB cable and wait for the phone to say HBOOT USB PLUG on screen
I am stuck at #2
You are completely powering the phone off first, aren't you? Then hold volume down and tap power keeping volume down held until hboot comes up.
Try put your device Power Down and start it with back + power then select Hboot mode with power button.....This should help ;-)
please help.

HTC Desire Loop problem
Hi All,
Been reading the threads, having had this problem with my HTC desire:
Went to a Boot Loop this morning and I haven't yet performed the CLEAR STORAGE function. Called HTC to complain that I have to loose my data and asked them if they can help deleting some of the data on the phone's own memory, so I can restart it. I think the problem occured when the low memory message appeared. From HTC told me that they cannot do that for legal reason.
Does anyone know how I can access the phone memory, delete some data and then restart it, rather than CLEAR STORATE it, since I will loos all my sms and phone book, setings, etc...
Please if you know, let me know.
Thanks you
Plamen
To boot your Desire S into hboot by holding ‘back’ button down, your SIM card should be inside the phone.

First of all: be sure you know what you're doing. The below listed solutions might help but might also end up bricking your phone dead.
If you can enter fastboot (back while powering on the phone) and if you have a nandroid backup, you can try to flash it back using the fastboot flash command.
OR
It's possible to run the RUU update while in fastboot or hboot usb mode (back button while powering on the phone) I had the modified usb drivers installed http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install, not sure if that is needed - but the original drivers didn't work very well with my setup in general: Win7 x64 , also I uninstalled HTC Sync.
OR
If that fails, you can try to extract the rom.zip from the RUU and flash it manually (help on extracting http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html ) JUST DON'T USE THE ROM FROM THAT TUTORIAL, THE LINK IS JUST FOR REFERENCE ON HOW TO EXTRACT THE rom.zip
The offcial RUU are in this thread, just BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT ONE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
@quanchi, thanks for your help i'll try and let you know tomorrow thanks again

Is your phone SLCD? I reckon you may have flashed an incorrect RUU, in which case you'll need to get a more up-to-date one and flash it again. In case that's the most recent one for T-Mobile, you'll need to make a gold card and then flash a generic RUU. Hope that helps.
hi thanks for your reply i don't know what is slcd? and let me tell you the stat of the phone now
when i press power phone vibrates i can see button lights on the phone but nothing on the lcd screed. Phone is not going in boot mode when i press back and power nothing happens, volume up and power nothing happens. Phone is being recognized in device manager as a usb mass storage and i can see battery light on the top of the screen as well. I dont know what is the real state of my phone and what do you call it but its a t mobile UK phone that's what i know and what should i do now thanks
Regards
SLCD is a type of display present in some Desires, earliest Desires had an AMOLED display. You most probably flashed your SLCD Desire with RUU prepared for an AMOLED Desire, hence the display problems. Search the forum for "SLCD BRICK". Your phone should be able to enter fastboot/hboot, but doesn't display anything because the display handling is screwed up. Before trying to resolve your situation BE SURE TO READ ALL THE INFO ON SLCD UNBRICKING.
I have no experience with SLCD models so can't help you much on the subject, but there are numerous threads on xda detailing dealing with this particular issue.
I don't want to sound rude or holier than thou (as I had my share of bricks and semi bricks) but I did write that you should make sure you get the correct RRU...
best of luck
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
hi thanks for your reply i'll try n post the result here
Regards
So here I will describe what I did to solve the exact same issue.
Remove the battery from the phone
Copy the proper RUU file to the root of my SD card naming it PB99IMG.zip
Insert battery
Power on phone holding the power and the back buttons until the fastboot menu opens
Choose recovery
Then it will go through a bunch of stuff and ask you if you want to flash the file you put on the SD card, I said yes then a few minutes later Bobs your uncle I was back to factory.

Faisal, it seems apparent that your device is an SLCD Desire. When you put Alpharev on it, it did S-OFF and your boot got corrupted for some reason and looped. When you ran the RUU (which was incompatible for your SLCD, and actually meant for an AMOLED Desire), you effectively unrooted it, though not restoring it.
Check my thread for a similiar problem.
If you had made a Goldcard earlier, you're in luck. You can restore your device with a generic SLCD RUU available for your device, by either running the RUU or by flashing the rom.zip from the RUU.exe file (Tip. This file gets extracted to %TEMP% folder when you run an RUU)
Things you need to know before you try solving your problem:
Know how to use adb from the command prompt,
Search for the links to shipped-roms site containing the list of Bravo (Desire) ROMS
How to create and use a goldcard
How to navigate to the temporary folder of your Windows PC
How to turn your device on into Recovery mode and Fastboot without seeing the screen
Simple search on XDA can unravel these simple mysteries.
Now, the steps to go about solving your problem:
Find out if you have a generic unbranded HTC Desire, or a branded one. A branded Desire has a special Code which prevents you from flashing a ROM meant for any other brand and also blocks a Generic RUU. If you're from India, it is branded with HTC Asia_India. If you're unbranded, things are looking much easier for you, as generic RUUs for SLCD are easily available.
Check if you have a goldcard (A goldcard is a special microsd card you made while your device was in working condition. It will allow you to restore your device using a generic RUU or an OTA)
If you dont have a goldcard, you might try to see if Recovery can be booted up. Poweroff phone, then power it on by pressing Vol- and Poweron key, then wait 30sec and press Vol Down and Poweron button again. At this time, phone gets detected in Windows (as shown by the icon in the bottom right of taskbar and a notification sound.
Type:
Code:
adb devices
If this displays a code SH**** after "List of devices", you're in luck. You can issue an adb command and get a CID of your device, following which you can create a goldcard.
After creating a goldcard, it will allow you to run a generic SLCD RUU. Check my thread for a latest RUU.
If you dont have a goldcard, and adb doesnt show the device in Recovery mode, it means Recovery is corrupted too. In this case, Power off device. Then Poweron by pressing Back key and Power on key. Again try adb devices command. If it shows the device, follow the steps of previous step.
You can also create a goldcard by putting your microsd card into a friend's phone and following the steps needed to create a gold card
If adb doesnt show your device in either Fastboot (previous step) or in Recovery, then you're in trouble. The only way to unbrick your softbricked device is to get a Generic RUU for your device (Check shipped roms site, or search XDA), and flash it. There is also a method if you have the original OTA zip for your device. Check teppic74's posts on XDA for this method.
If you have an Indian Desire, you're done for as I found out. If you dont have a goldcard for an Indian Desire, or the OTA zip, you have no option than to return it to HTC. Dont worry about Warranty being lost if it is a new phone. HTC has to repair it according to their Warranty policy.
Goodluck. I've summarized all methods available to unbrick an SLCD. For more details on any one method, try searching with the appropriate keywords from my post. It's all on XDA.
@droidzone, hi thanks for your time and reply here. the thing is i am very very basic user. Can you please tell me do i have to install htc sync first and i dont have any gold card before rooting. after following this procedure
"switch off phone. press and hold volume down. press power. release volume down after 5 seconds. wait for 30 seconds. press volume down. press power. the phone should vibrate. wait 40 seconds. the phone should be in recovery."
pc detects the phone but when i run ruu it doesn't find the phone and i have OTA downloaded as well and i have copied to micro sd but i dont know how to use this OTA. i'm sorry for being very basic

@Faisal,
No prob. Everyone is a newbie at the beginning!
But, you need to search and find out some things on XDA, and there are a lot of newbie centric guides over here which explain procedures step by step..
You need to do these by yourself though:
1. Install Android SDK. It just involves downloading the setup file, running it, and finding out where in Windows it has been installed. In the main installation folder, there is a Folder called Tools. You need to open a command prompt in that folder and run adb.exe for most of the procedures. Follow this guide to install the SDK.
2. After you have the sdk installed, boot your phone into recovery using the procedure you quoted. As you said, the phone will be detected in Windows. At this point, run the following command from a command prompt in your tools folder.
Code:
adb devices
This will output "List of devices" followed by a code starting with SH. If it does, you're in luck. You can now create a goldcard, and proceed. Follow this guide for this.
3. If the "adb devices" does not show any devices (in recovery/Boot mode), and you dont have a goldcard, you've run out of luck, pal. Honestly, no one on any forum has solved the issue with this combo.
There would still be a solution, if you have the RUU. I dont see why your RUU does not run. Try to run it in one of the following modes.
a. Switch off phone
Switch it on by pressing Back key followed by Back+Power key, then slowly releasing Powerkey while keeping Back key. This is the bootloader mode.
b. Recovery mode. Power off, power on by Vol down + Power key, then slowly release Power key. After 30 sec, press Vol down once, then power key once. Wait 1 min and see if pc detects device. Else press power key once again.
In either of these modes, the RUU you downloaded should down. If it is the incorrect RUU for your location, it will give a customer id error. If it has an incorrect bootloader version, it will show a Bootloader version error. In either of these cases, try the newest generic SLCD RUU from shipped roms. If this still gives one of the above errors, your phone is a branded phone. In this case, you WILL NEED a gold card to work.
Note that if adb devices shows your phone, then you can create a goldcard at this point.
If adb does not show your devices, and the latest generic RUU does not run, and you cant find a correct RUU for your device, then tough luck. I am yet to find a solution to this problem. Return it to HTC.

Yes, you need to have HTC sync installed for the drivers. But the HTC sync main program should not remain in the system tray (bottom right). If it is, close it by rightclicking and Exiting.
The problem with what devin mm said is that an SLCD desire doesnt show anything on screen if bricked. Yet, recovery may be selectable for some, without seeing anything. But if you ran the RUU, then most probably the recovery itself is corrupted and selecting a zip file on memory card wont be possible at this point.
Sorry that I wont be able to follow this thread for the next few days. I'm travelling, and since my Desire is with HTC repair centre, no Net. Hopefully, someone else on XDA can help out with any more qns..

1. Did you hold it down?
2. Do you have fastboot disabled?
3. Try using adb reboot bootloader instead.
Are you hitting vol down when the device is powering up?
You gotta turn fast boot off.

When you run AlphaRevX, it gives you a code. Take that code and fill out the form on the AlphaRevX website (the page that shows up after you download AlphaRevX). That'll spit out another serial to enter into AlphaRevX.

my hboot is 0.97.0000? thats not on the pulldown list on the alpha rev site
Hi all
having AlphaRev Oxygen r2,S-Off when I was working with my cell, It was rebooted and after starting up it showed it was in "Safe Mode" . Then , It re-started again , and booted in bootloader, stucked there and none of the function keys(Vol up,Vol down,Return and etc.) are working now.
It's still stucked and no operation is possible(even selecting fastboot,recovery and other functionalities)
I wonder if anyone could help me solve the problem ..
..
any idea?
Can you use fastboot? Try with 'fastboot devices'. If fastboot sees your phone, flash bravo downgrader and return to stock.

no i cant go to the fastboot because the power key and volume down wont work.i tried fastboot commander but it didnt find my cellphone.(sorry for my bad english)
...
no one can help me?
Try:
1. Boot phone in recovery.
2. Plug USB cabel; wait 5 - 15 seconds.
3. Run: 'adb devices'
Is there any device?
I have a similar problem to samijn90, except my phone is running Gingerbread and hasn't been rooted yet.
In my case, I tried to restart my phone (which was working quite normally) and found it started in boot mode. The volume key can't select any function, and I have to remove the battery to switch the phone off.
Will be following this thread as well as look around for potential solutions.

In order to go into fastboot you have to press the "Back button" (the one next to search) and power button. I haven't seen a Desire without volume keys issues. I have to try multiple times to press volume down button and the phone to respond.
After you get into fastboot you can try to flash stock or debug your phone.

So if you press and hold the back and power button you can see a white screen with FASTBOOT in red highlighted letters? Or is it HBOOT in blue highlighted letters?

I tried RUU without USB method:
Code:
[P3/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER). After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes
but when I press vol- and power, it still gives me the black background HTC but no option for "yes" and PB99IMG updating.
goldcard wrong?
You have to press and hold first volume down and then power button for a seconds until a white screen with three androids at the bottom appears. If you get to splash screen, you got "too far".
try
Code:
fastboot devices
to see if the phone is recognised.. I see no reason why it shouldn't work
is there any specific timing?
i did vol- first then power until sth shows up on the screen, it's still the RUU's black background HTC....
