[Q] I think I bricked my DHD? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a previously rooted DHD that won't boot beyond the white HTC load screen.
The problem is that a number of things were tried on the phone to get it working again, and I think it may have made things worse, like unrooting it.
I can access the stock bootloader, this is what I get:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0027
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I select Recovery, ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.1.0 starts but also has some error messages:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think these errors are because unfortunately the SD card was wiped when trying to fix it
I've tried connecting it to a Windows PC to run the RUU but got an error about the Customer ID.
I don't care if the phone gets unrooted, or if it has an old stock rom, I just want to get the phone working again.
Does anyone have any hints for how I can fix this phone?
EDIT: I found out that this is my CID: VODAP102. Maybe I just need to correct RUU? Does anyone know which one that may be?

You have a Vodaphone German CID so if you don't find a Vodaphone German RUU for desire HD that is the same or higher from your misc version you won't be able to fix your phone.You could try to extract a rom.zip from an {RUU}.exe and you add or change your CID number with yours by editing the android-info.txt file inside the rom.zip in order you be able to flash it from your sdcard or by using the command fastboot flash zip rom.zip.(If you would like to follow this path I would suggest you to make a goldcard before you flash the zip).
If you have not a working rom or at least a working adb shell in order you make a goldcard you should try to install a custom rom to create the goldcard (I don't know if you can create a goldcard from recovery).
If any of these can help you I think the only solution you could try (and the best in my opinion) is to S-OFF your device and you change the vodaphone crap cid with SuperCID or one of your choice.After that you can install any RUU you like.
I have answered a lot of times how to S-OFF this device.You can find the answer here.
The situation you are not rooted is not a good thing because you won't have a root shell either.You could try rerooting your current rom from recovery by flashing a Superuser or SuperSU zip.You can find the latest flashable zip of SuperSU here.
** However if you want to make this proccess you must have enabled USB debugging (at least to create a goldcard as the manual describes) **
We could also help you a little bit more if you gave us the results that prints the command fastboot getvar all.
You can find Desire HD RUU's here.

[Q] Cannot flash ROMs | write_raw_image

Hello. I'm new to all this. I've searched several forums for an answer to my issue, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get to a final resolution.
What's wrong?
When I boot into ClockworkMod (2.5.0.7) Recovery, I get the below:
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount cache:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount cache:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:

When I try to backup the current ROM, I get this:
Backing up boot...
Error while dumping boot image!
E:Can't mount cache:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I try to flash LeeDr0iD 2.3d, I get:
-Writing boot.img
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/LeeDr0iD.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I thought this might be because the .zip file is corrupted or something, so I went on and downloaded and flashed the latest CyanogenMod (checked the MD5 to make sure), but it gave me the same error.
What I did to my device?
I rooted using the unrevoked method. It was pretty straight forward, just installed the Android USB drivers and ran the reflash_package.exe... At the end I checked the root access by adb shell, then su, and I got the ever-so-famous #. I noticed there was an "update.zip" in the root of the SDcard after rooting the phone, but I didn't run it.
What I gathered from my search
When I was searching I read about SPrecovery, I'm guessing it's another recovery...thingi, other than CMrecovery, but I never found a .zip file for it [maybe someone can point me to it].
I also read something about a file PC36IMG.zip, and that people have fixed this error I'm getting using that file. From what I gathered, I think that file was used in the HBOOT downgrading process (from 0.8 to 0.7-something). I downloaded this file but I didn't copy it to my SDcard because I read something I'm not supposed to "apply" it when I enter HBOOT on my phone.
I have yet to use AlphaRex 1.8 to S-OFF the NAND security, but I currently don't have a blank CD to burn the alpharev image. [Question: can I just run the "fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img" command on Windows 7, without having to boot into the Linux livecd? I already downloaded and installed the Android SDK tools =/].
My device information
HTC Desire GSM. Froyo (Android 2.2) out of the box, now running software: 2.29.405.5
And this is what appears in HBOOT:
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-ON

PS: I wouldn't blame you if you hit the back button on your browser after being shocked by this long post...wait, you wouldn't be reading this if you already navigated away from the thread...ah well =/.
As you have a PVT4 Desire you need to use AmonRa instead of CWM, read the PVT4 thread in General
Use amon-ra recovery. I had the same error as you on my pv4 desire.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Ok, so I'm trying to flash the Amon-Ra recovery but I get the below error:
sending 'recovery' (3936 KB)... OKAY [ 0.938s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.404s

I'm guessing this is because I do not have S-OFF yet (and I can't get S-OFF right now since I do not have a blank CD to burn the Linux livecd). So, I can just unroot the device, then root it again but point unrevoked to the Amon-Ra recovery instead of the CMrecovery, right?
Question about unrooting: Download the official RUU. Connect the phone to HTC Sync. Run the official RUU. That's it?
EDIT: Do I have to unroot then root again? Or is it possible to just run unrevoked on the already-rooted device but point it to the Amon-Ra recovery instead?
You need to be rooted to S-OFF, just run unrEVOked again and choose a custom recovery
EddyOS, thank you, and you as well drSTRIFE. I finally flashed my first custom ROM.
To whom it may concern, 'what did I do':
I tried running unrevoked but I kept getting the "Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?", so I factory reset the device and gave it another try. Successfully flashed Amon-Ra. I tried flashing CyanogenMod and it was flashed successfully, but the splash screen kept looping. I only wiped the cache before, so now I wiped ALL userdata, and reflashed CyanogenMod. Now it works. Unfortunately though, I did not backup my original ROM, but I have the official RUU, so I guess that's enough if something goes wrong.

[Q] G2 Bootloop Please Help

Hi,
I have a G2 that keeps reboot after displaying the G2 screen.
Thing i tried:
1. download and put the PC10IMG.zip on the root SD card and boot to recovery but it wouldn't asked me to update.
2. Put the update.zip on root sd card and go to recovery tried to update with update.zip but get error .... not found ...
3. boot into recovery plug the usb in and run adb devices but it wouldn't list the devices name ( i guess debug mode isn't turn on.)

In recovery what's the whole error
Mine did that too,
My error was something can't open. Somthing /mmcblk0 error
No update
Post the whole error
And for pcimg.zip you gotta boot into hboot not recovery, I assume you did that but mistakenly put "recovery"
Yes I meant Hboot, in order for it to work the phone need to be S-OFF first ?
and here is the error when i tried to flash update.zip in recovery menu:
E:Can'tmount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
(No such file or directory)
E:Reading package...retry (up to 10x)

[Q] Desire Brick ? i have no idea !!!

Hello guys
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.92.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
i have Recovery RA-desire-v2.0.0
1. Cant use revolutionary because my Hboot is unsupported
2. alpharev dont work either because of hboot version i suppose ?
3. Mounting SD in recovery ends: Can't mount /dev/block ...... (no such file or directory) E:Can't mount /sdcard
4. Partitioning dont work because recovery dont see SD (tried 2 differend sd cards, (i made even only fat32 under windows with EASEUS partition.
5. Everything i do in recovery on SD ends up with: Error: Run 'fs ext3' via adb !
6. fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 - wont work !
7. "fastboot erase system" - erasing 'system'...... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
8. i cant use Android Flasher cause i have S-ON
And still i cant make S-OFF because of hboot version ! WTF
Not so sure if this suggestion is workable or not.
Any chance that running a GB 2.3.3 RUU will correct the sdcard mounting problem and change the hboot that comes with the RUU then s-off with revolutionary ?
thats the point, i cant see in any way my sd card
and i dont have functional system
i have ONLY hboot and recovery which dont see SD
So, have you tried to run the RUU and it is not working ? You don't need an sdcard to run it.
And this thread should be in Q&A section.

If you go into recovery, the phone just vibrates a few times and turns off. If you go Factory Reset, the phone just freezes.
I've tried:
RUU with no luck (get's stuck on Rebooting into Bootloader)
tried putting the .ZIP onto the SD but got "ModelID Incorrect" (can't create a GoldCard as phone won't boot, therefor no ADB)
flashing a recovery through fastboot but got "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"
booting into recovery using fastboot boot (FAILED (remote: signature verify fail))
I assume all my issues have been due to S-ON.
I'm stumped - any ideas?
There have been a few folks on here with the same issue in the last few weeks. Not that the phone is terribly old, but I wonder if it can be that some hardware component (eMMC or other) is failing over time?

IIRC there is a way to create a GoldCard manually without the phone ... but i'm highly unsure :-s
The last two sounds like an error due to s-on

I was able to create a working GoldCard using my phone, it no longer gives Model-ID Incorrect. HOWEVER, new problem. It's now moaning about Main Version being older, update failed.
I see android-info.txt in the ZIP is:
modelid: PC1010000
cidnum: T-MOB010
mainver: 2.15.531.3
hbootpreupdate:12
However, this phones info is:

I assume it's the Radio Version number that is not matching up - however, the one RUU's in Shipped-Roms with that Radio Number are EXE's and not ZIPs.
Does anyone know how I can get a ZIP RUU that would work with this phones current versions?
edit: p.s. ZIP I'm currently using is PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_2.15.531.3_Radio_12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3.zip (renamed when on SDcard to PC10IMG.zip)
double edit: Have found a way to extract zip from EXE. Loaded it to Gold Card and update is currently flashing via HBOOT. Still on Bootloader. Assume this takes a while (10 - 15 minutes), so I'll be patient.
combo edit: should state the the RUU ZIP I extracted was RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed.exe
Phone honors the PC10IMG.zip, but gets stuck on BOOTLOADER - Updating.
Any suggestions? Is it safe to delete items out of the RUU .zip? Want to try flash recovery.img only.
edit: looks the the rom.zip I extract is always corrupt (when trying to edit it using WinRAR or something)
You can't edit the zips, they are signed, so anything you do to them will cause them to not flash.
Winrar might be complaining because of the signing.
-Nipqer
Given up on trying to flash the RUU via HBOOT - it just freezes on "Bootloader - Updating" - pulling battery causes no issues so I assume it doesn't even attempt to flash anything.
Next step, using HTCDev to unlock the bootloader? Safe? I worry that the Bootloader not flashing via RUU means that HTCDev Bootloader Unlock won't work, or could possibly break it.
same problem
hi mate, im having the exact same problem as you...did you manage to fix it?
i have found the same ruu for my radio version but it gets stuck on the bootloader as the bar moves but the fone stays on the same screen.
do u think i need to make that goldchip card? how do i make one please?
i had that same problem just 2 days ago so in order to get the ruu to flash right it has to be a radio thats higher than the one you already have ... but if that dosnt work you will have to change it manualy using adb in recovery mode so wat you do is power offf the phone comptley and plug it in your computer via usb then open up adb and type adb devices the phone has to be off and it should show your device id then the word recvery next to it then your gunna wanna pull the misc.img from the phone and edit it with a hex editor i did this method to downgrade my g2 kus my sdcard dosnt read but after you change the misc the ruu shuld flash fine 1.power off phone Connect phone to computer,
2.Open adb cmd and type : adb shell
3.Type su
4. if you get # symbol continue
5.Type : dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/misc.img (YOU CAN COPY THE IMG TO EITHER sdcard, which is internal memory, or sdcard2, which is removal card)
6. Switch to USB mode
7.copy misc.img from the root of the sdcard to your computer
8.Open misc.img with HeX Editor XVI32
9.Find the version and change it. it will be the first area in the the upper right in the screen of the app
10.change the number in whatever you want. (has to be in the form of.. 1.00.000.0
11.Save it and upload it to the root of the sdcard with miscnew.img name
12. Switch to charge mode
13.Type adb shell, su dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24
14.Reboot to fastboot then fastboot reboot to RUU then fastboot flash PC10IMG.zip and it shuld flash fine
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------
or yu can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526316 and should work its alot easier than the adb method
Never managed to fix this (tried the exact same thing ari3z suggested, but ages ago) - just kept freezing when trying to write anything to flash.
Phone was eventually swapped out in warranty.

[Q] HTC Wildfire Buzz: stuck and doesnt accept custom roms or RUUs

Hi,
I have HTC Wildfire Buzz which had a problem getting stucking at HTC logo and kept rebooting. I decided to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom, I downloaded CWM recovery and tried flashing a custom rom but got an error and then I tried flashing different variations of CM roms such as update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip and cm_buzz_full-256.zip but I got different types of errors including Err 7.
The other custom rom I tried to install was Android_Freedom_Wildfire_By_MONI69_a2sd but I kept getting the following error:
E:Can't symlink /system/bin/cat
E:Failure at line 10: symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/cat
installation aborted
I tried running different relevant RUUs based on my phone region but always ended up with error due to the fact that the firmware version currently installed is 2.46.0.0 and all the RUUs have versions lower than it.
I would appreciate providing me with your guidance and advice, my phone info is provided below.

hey man, silly question but are you sure you are doing a full factory wipe, data wipe cache wipe and dalvick cache wipe?
you should do the wipes every time you try to flash a new rom.

Another alternative is formating all partitions before flashing..
and btw did u extract the whole zip for boot.img?
what is ur cwm version?
did u try disabling signature check and script asserts??

Its my wife's phone. Out of the blue started getting stuck in HTC logo and kept rebooting. Yes, its unlocked using HTCDEV and it shows that in hboot "UNLOCKED".
Appreciate your further feedback..
I'd first try a different sd card, it looks to me like it's not reading properly with some of those errors, mount /system from Cwm mounts and storage option before wiping and flashing the new rom too, if that fails try fastboot flashing Cwm 5.0.2.0, then try again. I've never seen this problem before so my apologies if I'm way off the mark.

i have the same problem here.
hboot 1.02.0000 - won't downgrade for anything in the world
s-on
in cwm i cannot install any rom. says "status 0 installation aborted" or "bad"
the ruu's are not working either.
i don't have a backup or a rom installed. if there's anyone who can provide me a buzz backup so i can restore into my phone, i would much appreciate it. i think is the single thing i didn't try.

i don't have a backup or a rom installed. if there's anyone who can provide me a buzz backup so i can restore into my phone, i would much appreciate it. i think is the single thing i didn't try.

It already has been mentioned a few times here in the forum: htcdev won't give you s-off and it's not absolutely clear (= not confirmed) that can get s-off after the htcdev unlock (because you can't downgrade the HBOOT).
I have no idea if there's a possibility but it doesn't look good - there are 2 other threads regarding this issue here in Q&A or General section - you might want to have a look.
For the install problem I'm pretty sure that's something different as you usually should be able to install a ROM...
i have looked into othet threads. nothing works

You need to relock your boot loader for an ruu to work. relock the bootloader and remove the rom.zip from the htcdev bootloader unlock ruu. Remember an ruu with a lower hboot will not run. Rename it to pc49img.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard. Boot to hboot and allow the bootloader to flash the rom. but if I was you I would just try to get access to an xtc clip and fully s-off the phone. Then it will run any ruu and custom rom.

thanx for the answer. i have relocked my bootloader. renamed the rom and put it on the root of the sdcard. the hboot shows a loading bar, but after loading, nothing happens. the part with the removing the rom.zip from the htcdev bootloader unlock ruu i didn't understand. can you be more specific? thanx
quick edit: when running a ruu, it gives me usb connection error
Here's the quick guide
Install hTc drivers successfully on pc.
Remove hTc sync and other related apps.
Now download clockworkmod recovery(whichever you want) and fastboot+adb kit on pc.
Open fastboot.
Connect ur phone. Load the bootloader and then fastboot. Fastboot mode(something like that) should be on your phone. Paste recovery and boot image in fastboot folder.
Type fastboot devices
Type fastboot flash boot boot.img(i faintly remember what this was, sorry )
Type fastboot flash 'recoveryname'.zip
After that disconnect ur phone.
Select recovery.
(If u dont see anything, it was unsuccessful, hold vol up+power to see default recovery.)
Now install roms like this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851096):p(my rom) via recovery.
Hit Thanks.
You are done
Note:s off is not required for flashing a custom rom, however an unlocked bootloader is.
Edit: Hey sorry didnt read my earlier posts, after all wf is slow on internet.
However this is the problem where u you are flashing incorrect boot.img
Make sure its from your rom, or try using the one in cm7, try both as Im not exactly certain. If u have cwm it asserts that u have root and you can flash roms.

i made every step you told me to. this is what i get.
the only way i can make the phone visible in adb, is in recovery. being unable to boot a rom, i cannot set the usb debugging mode. so, everything that i will make, is via fastboot or ruu. but ruu gives me usb connection error or error [155] in fastboot, and baterry < 30% in adb mode.
What if you unlock your bootloader again and flash a recovery.img from fastboot? Maybe there is problem with your cwm recovery. I guess you have already tried formatting you sd card, tried a different sd card and tried different custom roms.
I would definitely try to get some more charge in your phone first because if you loose power while flashing it could end up really bad. An RUU won't install on low battery (i thought you needed >70%) what if you charge up and run ruu from adb again?
Rename your CID to HTC_001 (fastboot writecid HTC__001). Relock your bootloader using fastboot oem lock. Run a WWE RUU. Use the rooting link in my sig.
Done, and don't ever root with HTCDev again.
