Hi.
I have a problem with my DHD, and have been browsing these forums for a solution. Im new to this so i need some confirmation, a url, and some explanation.
This happend:
I tried to root my desire HD with visionary+ r14. I did temproot, got back into the app just fine, checked for "set system r/w after root", and clicked attemt permroot. The phone booted, and got stuck in a bootloop. My Hboot menu sais S-ON on top. Tried reseting factory settings nothing helps. Since i didnt get the phone rooted, no clockword recovery installed...
Phone details:
The phone had the factory 1.32 build on it.
other info that might be valid:
Hboot: 0.85.0007
microp-0438
radio-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
oct 11. 2010
1. From searching and reading, it seems i need a RUU stock image build 1.32, can anyone provide me with an URL for the correct image?
2. Can i use the bootloader on the phone to do this? ..and how?
Hope u have some time to spare, and help this niblet :=)
Thnx for reading
PS:
Before i did this, the phone was rooted, with the same visionary pluss file. I tried to install clockword recovery mod, but it wouldnt "take". I then factory reset the phone in the android recovery menu, and the rest is listed above.
Download your RUU from here: http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
How do i know i have the right drivers on the pc? Do i get those drivers from installing the HTC sync program?

If you install HTC sync (download it from their website or it is also in your sdcard unless you have not removed it ), you get all the necessary drivers...
Hm, i have installed HTC sync, but as my phone is stuck on the blackscreen and red triangle, HTC sync does not detect my phone.
When i try to run the exe file "RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed", it gives me an error [170], USB connection error.
Is there a way to run this file from the bootloader?
Try to push a PD98IMG.zip (this is stock HTC 1.32 rom from this thread unrooted, hboot s-on) to the sd card, boot into bootloader and flash "new" rom
with adb:
Code:
adb push directory/to/your/PD98IMG.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot bootloader
or if adb doesn't work, put the stock rom into the top of your sdcard, reboot the phone while holding the vol-down button.
follow the instructions on the device(normally it search for the PD98IMG.zip and ask you to install it)
How importanat is the last part of the filename of the RUU file "_2 6.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed". As the phone is not bootable i cant check find that info on the phone anymore.
"Radio_12.28b.60.140e_2 6.03.02.26_M" it's the radio version.
At the bottom of this site is the USB Driver try it.
Thnx to both of u. Everything now working like a charm.
Good that you got it sorted. Can you edit the tag and put [solved]?

with an unbranded device it should be easy, download the driver and the image in the posts above, install the driver and run the exe.
On linux/unix you can download the sdk (intructions to install on the site) and then you are able to use the adb commands with the PD98IMG.img also in the posts above.
with a branded device it can be more complicated take a look at this but i don't know how far your system is online and if you are able to use adb.
As the guy above me mentioned, it's quite easy to recover your phone if it's unbranded.
Download a WWE RUU from the link someone postet before. Then boot into the bootloader and connect your DHD to your pc. If you have htc sync installed, it should recognise your phone. Then run the RUU on you pc and everything should be fine now.
Hi guys,
Well basically, I've been a massive idiot and somehow my HTC Desire is now non-responsive. I am running the Oxygen rom from a nandroid backup that I had done previously but now i am unable to access recovery at all. The phone does power on. I do the usual power + back button hold to get into the bootloader then recovery and do the usual ./recovery-mac.sh command in terminal but all I get in response is this now:
mac:~ Dan$ ./recovery-mac.sh
Desire Recovery Mode
Pushing required files to device...
Password:
error: device not found
error: device not found
mac:~ Dan$ error: device not found
I can access the MicroSD card through a computer but the phone won't recognize there is one. WiFi works (but can't download anything from market), radio doesn't as no signal and of course 3G is out of the question.
Is there a solution to my problem?!
From a person in dying need.
EDIT:
Since trying to work this out I have reformatted the microSD card and replaced its contents afterwards, still to no avail.
Try to flash stock ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Be careful to select the appropriate RUU.
Turn your phone in fastboot (back + power) and run the exe file. You very probably might need a goldcard. Search the forum for that. Good luck !
you're going to have to talk me through this (step by step) like i'm an idiot please paul! i've downloaded the appropriate RUU but i'm not sure how to apply it. help?

Start your phone in fastboot --> Hold Back button + press power
You should get a menu which has as title FASTBOOT.
Connect your phone to your PC and then run the exe file. You must have HTC Sync installed.
If this fails try making a goldcard. You can find a tutorial here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
the computer won't recognise the phone paul. am going to have to try and make a goldcard i guess. :/
okay i am completely stuck. i have previously made a goldcard but this is just ridiculous now. my sdcard contains the clockwork mod folder so why can't i boot into recovery, what is going wrong with it? if i boot up i'm stuck on the oxygen rom, cant install anything as wifi wont download stuff as sd card isnt recognized (tell me why?), have sporadic signal, no 3g whatsoever.
can someone please explain step by step how to get recovery working again.
bumpbumpbump
So whats your current status?
Your Desire boots into ROM, but doesnt work well.
You cannot but into recovery.
You made a gold card.
Flashing a RUU didnt work.
Your SD is not recognized by the phone or by PC? Is it the goldcard you made?
Correct?
i haven't been able to make a goldcard, i have one previously that i cannot find.
the desire boots into the oxygen rom, ver. 2.0.3 but will not recognise the sd card inserted and wont connect to a mac or computer and show up as a device. i cannot boot into recovery at all as i just get device not found.
confused?

yes ^^
Do you only use Mac or have you access to a pc, too?
If you can get your phone into USB Debugging mode, you can try to flash a brand new recovery via fastboot command.
Maybe your rom got corrupted somehow.
If neither of this works, you should try another sd card I guess.
how do you use the fastboot command?
i have used the ./recovery-mac.sh command in terminal but whats this fastboot command and where can i get it?
EDIT:
I now have fastboot but whenever i try the command ./fastboot-mac flash recovery.img it ends up saying permission denied. is this because i am S-ON?

i have access to a pc as well too. i'd rather not have to go through the lengthy process of making a goldcard if i have to. trying to exhaust all other options first....
Hello,
First of all I am very null in English, so I use the google friends ... Sorry
Well this is not the first time I flash a phone, but in WinMobile I find myself in the ....
I have a htc desire PVT3 S-OFF that do not boot the system (sense) or on the recovery, .. because I install a rom (supernova) and since I have a white screen htc.
I try to put my recovery and re-flash my boot my system, the adb command fastboot and me but also his brand:
fastboot:
Failed remote: not allowed
ADB:
No devices conected
Install the driver and that of UnRevoked (HBOOT Driver)
I saw you can get it through linux, but I did not and I would really avoid because I do not have my pc at the moment and it was my job that I did everything ... I am admin on the pc ...
....
If it please you help me ... its been 2 days now ...
Any fair to have space and android 2.3 ... heck
Thank you in advance
so ummm
switch your phone off
turn it on holding 'power' + 'back' buttons
this will take you to the bootloader, now using volume up and volume down buttons navigate on 'recovery' and hit power button
this should launch recovery
report back
report:
White screen htc ... Even after 1 hour ..
Already tried last night for a restaurant
AND
I forgot to tell you that the supernova rom I downloaded was corrupted ...
Result: more than clockwork and system ..
ok so here is what i would do:
make sure my ADB is set up correctly @ my PC, then try putting my phone in fastboot mode (back+pwr) and flash a recovery image.
if that wont work, make sure it is not an USB-Brick (if your wall charge starts as soon as you plug phone then its OK)
finally put phone into fastboot mode and run a RUU.exe @ PC ?
this should bring it back to stock, unroot and S-ON again
if your phone is branded, you might need to create a goldcard, also make sure you use a correct RUU.
other than that i got no ideas on how to help you.
I do not think it is a USB-BRICK, because the first driver install is that of htc and then when I go into the same phone with fastboot the only difference is that ... Finally I think I am no longer in ROOT ...
When I try the command "fastboot update file.zip or .img or fastboot recovery .zip or .img or when fastboot boot .zip or .img gives me every time:
Failed remote: not allowed
then the RUU already try but actually I do not know if it's good, (that of XDA)
Finally a Goldcard I do not know what it is nevertheless my phone was already rooted UnRevoked thanks ..
I do not know if it's important
you think that I can one day recover my phone? ....... :'(
In fact there are fastboot that happens to connect to my phone adb do not recognize either the UCP and UnRevoked either ...
and no firewall or antivirus
WOOOOOOOOW I managed to start the RUU thank you very much ... In reality it was a driver problem ....
Today I'm under Win XP and Win in the last 7 64bit and I think it's because of its ...
I would give you the news
Thank you again because I would not continue with the RUU
Good but now that I install the RUU I'm not as root?
runnign a RUU will revert your phone back to stock
no root, S-ON
from there you can root it again, and S-OFF
and you should be fine
ok but I'm still S-OFF ... So it mean anything?
S-ON or S-OFF and what diference?
I know it's safety but his hand?

Try this:
1. power down
2. remove battery
3. press and hold power button for 10 sec.
4. reinstall battery
5. press and hold the volume down button
6. press the power button to turn the phone on but DO NOT release the volume button until you can see the boot screen.
when you are in the boot screen one of the options in the list should say recovery. use the volume button to navigate down to that option and press the power button to select it. your phone should then boot into recovery and you will get the recovery screen and choices.
thanks
i did it but when i get into recovery i see the phone with the sing and then i reboot get stock in htc evo 4g logo if u have any idea how to get into the phone to flash any rom would b perfect tnx
Sounds like it could be a USB brick. This has happened to me before. I remember when that happened to me and couldn't get into recovery. For some reason when I plugged in the micro usb to the phone it would let me boot into recovery. Give that a shot and try searching usb brick. Also my sd card could not be recognized once I booted into recovery.
How did you try to downgrade?

ok well i flash 2 programs 1 flash_image 2 mtd-eng then run the pc36img but nothing happen it says cant roll back hboot n i reboot the phone n i went to the bootloader n it was locked n i try to enter to the recovery n show me the phone w/ the sing...
any idea where can i get an usb brick??
I'm not familiar with a USB brick, but I believe that your computer can still read your phone through USB. I see that you were trying to S-OFF the phone. Looks like something went wrong when you flashed the misc partition, which locked your bootloader once again.
You should try running an RUU file from your computer with your phone connected which can be found here.
http://goo.im/stock/supersonic/ruu/...15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed.exe
But first, you will need to install the Fastboot drivers to your computer which can be found here
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
You need to run the RUU from your phone's bootloader from FASTBOOT USB (click on Fastboot then run the RUU from your computer).
If that works, that should at least get your phone back going again (unrooted of course).
i did but w/ the ruu doesnt work too appears error 155 unknow problem n stops i dont know what else to do
Just checking, did you run the RUU in FASTBOOT USB which should have been highlighted in red from your bootloader after clicking FASTBOOT? Also, with your phone connected to your computer while in FASTBOOT USB, check your computer's device manager from the control panel and see do you see anything under Android USB devices.
And too, which PC36IMG file did you try to run?
Sounds like you tryed to downgrade your hboot to the Eng hboot. If that is what you did, then congradulations! You have successfully bricked your device! Hboots are generally NOT downgradable...especially 2.18 to eng

Yea, I was afraid that the wrong PC36IMG file was indeed used. Generally on the newer phones, any downgrade of the Hboot below 2.02 is a guaranteed brick. That's why Captain Throwback only recommends PC36IMG files down to Hboot 2.10 (the 2.02 ones don't work with S-ON phones). On the older hardware however, the Hboot can be downgraded to anything, including 0.76 from 2.18. I've done it on mines. You just have to know which hardware version and partition erasesize your phone has.
the one that i get from evohacks pc36img i think i need one way to flash a rom
the one i get from a post in htcevohacks
is the pc36img
if i brick my phone is there any way to unbrick

The best advice that I can give you is to reboot the phone into FASTBOOT USB (connect it to your computer, then go to your bootloader and click on FASTBOOT), then go back to the HTCdev site, start over and try to re-unlock your bootloader. If you can do that, then I may have a workaround for you If not, there might not be much else that you can do.
ok i did everything that u tell me n now i rename the zip (ss_stock_4.67.651) in PC36IMG n then reflash recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3 now i can get into the recovery menu n i flash the rename (ss_stock_4.67.651) PC36IMG n i have a rom from sprint but now i still cant use adb command so what else shuld i do to recovery to normal n there r many issues that cant load like mail that is forced to sptop unexpected n thank u for all ur help!!

Oh no. I don't know which tutorial you got those instructions from.
I'm also lost with your description of what happened. I hope you unlocked your bootloader, and can now boot into the operating system. If so, you were not suppose to rename the ss_stock_4.67 file to PC36IMG. You were suppose to flash that through RECOVERY as is. If I were you, I would go back to RECOVERY, and wipe All Factory/Reset (or whatever it says) and Dalvik-cache, then reflash the ss_stock file or another ROM.
Second, the adb commands only work from the operating system, not FASTBOOT. You need to be inside the operating system with your phone connected to your computer and USB Debugging enabled under Settings/Applications.
ok here i am
i change the name cos the bootloader let me flash the recovery amon ra 2.3 then i can see the recovery menu n i flash the rom named pc36img n give me the sprint w/ errors now i download another rom that i flash n now my computer can read the sdcard but im still locked n i dont know if im still rooted so the what i think is i have a usb brick so i need to unbrick my usb to use the adb command so i apreciate ur help w/ this thanks all of u for ur help
Dear all,
I have been looking around the forums and downloaded a few things and looked at various solutions, but I am stuck at the first hurdle.
I have been given an htc Desire Bravo that just will not boot. I do not know how it failed originally but I can only get it into the boot screens, either the fastboot/hboot logon ot the 5 buzzes and the htc logo lock. Also it takes about 30 minutes with the battery out after every failed boot attempt to restart the boot screen.
I have run adb but it cannot tell me a cid number, I have a micro sd card in it but it does not have the pb99diag.zip on it. When I put such a file on the sd card it does not find it. Communication via adb and the phone has varied success. I suspect it is drivers and what I read is an old adb bug where server is out of date.
I have never done this before this weekend so please be gentle with me!
If I can get it to work, even to use it like a wifi tablet without phone I would be happy. I am in the UK and if we have real success I would get it on tesco PAYG
I get the "cannot find pb99diag.zip etc" dialogue when going into hboot.

First make S-Off. I forgot how but if i think right, you must it do via revolutionary, If it success, then download 4ext recovery.IMG and flash it via fastboot and reboot in bootloader in your recovery

If u phone does not boot then u can NOT s-off, ur phone needs to be booted.. also if ur s-on and not rooted then all u can do is flash a ruu.
Did u try factory reset from bootloader menu? Try that first, u never know but chances r ul prob need to ruu a ruu.

Hi jmcclue,
Thanks for the comments. I can boot to the HBoot and Fastboot screens, thats how I could find the S-ON and version data. If I get it to reboot, I get either a white screen with just "htc" on it, or 5 buzzes and a screen with no life at all. I am hopeful to get it to S-OFF as I have had some communication through the usb to pc connection. I am not sure if I can do an RUU update as I don't seem to have a CID. I do not have a factory reset option on the HBOOT screen. I have tried clear storage but that has no effect. Perhaps I need the S-OFF first.
Cheers again,
A
Use the 2.3gb update ruu its wwe (world wide english) so dont worry bout cid. U can find it in bortaks troubleshooting guide in resources section and its naned 2.3.3 ruu. U will find it easy enough in google aswell. Search for "htc desire 2.3gb update" its a exe file so just boot ur phone into fastboot, plug in ur phone and run the ruu, hopefully it willvwork. Im a bit worried tho about the 5 vibrations u get, maybe a sign of hardware failure. But try that ruu anyway. And again u can not get s-off unless ur phone is fully working/booted.

Well that was a bit wierd
If anyone can see where I went wrong, feel free to say.
I could not seem to get the link between the phone and the pc so I removed the htc sync and restarted the pc. I could then connect to the phone in some way as abd gave a command error when I sent a fastboot oem readcid which it normally does. So leaving it in fastboot with usb I ran the wwe~.exe file and it all seemed to be doing installing. There were tens of installations going to the phone I guess each reaching 100%. Suddenly I had a web page popup in my browser s.rev2pub.com/ul_cb/player.html?a=19471543&context=c23573548&size=800x600&rt=popunder&ci=10&cb=[CACHEBUSTER] recommending I download latest drivers. The wwe ruu vanished and I have no continuing processes in Task manager that I can see.
So, should I have installed in hboot? Thankfully I can still get the phone to power on. What should happen after the exe file installs?
I am able to get some response from the phone as adb devices returns the phone device number. So I hope I can try again.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks

Hey Adrian, I had the same problem as you did, hopefully I can be of help.
First, like everyone else is saying you will need S-OFF.
To do this head to this site on your PC revolutionary.io hit download for windows or Linux or whatever your pc is running, then you will need to fill out information about your device (see attached screenshot). Device, HBoot number, and serial number, (the serial number can be found behind the battery of your device). Once you have done that, click "Generate Key". it will give you a key, remember it or write it down.
Then, open the file that was downloaded, and extract the contents to your documents and Run the revolutionary( should look like the screenshot attached). Plug your device in (assuming you have the drivers) and it should ask you to enter the beta key we had before. Enter that and hit enter. it will then S-off your Desire and soon ask if you would like to install a custom recovery. hit Y and then enter, once that is finished, unplug your device and in HBoot go to "Recovery". Now you can flash a ROM of your choice.
Hopefully I made sense!
Best of luck

Can I confirm that I can do this from the HBOOT screen or the fastboot screen? Also where jmmclue said if I can't boot then I can't S-Off, does that mean boot to the HBOOT screen or into Android? Then if I want to load say WWE, do I put that on a microSD to get it to recover?

I am able to communicate to some degree with adb between phone and pc. Before I was unable to get anything back but now with the right syntax I have got back the CID as HTC_001 and the device number. But when I run revolutionary from the fastboot USB screen the revolutionary continues to wait for the device to show. Is it likely that USB degugging was off prior to the failure, is there a way to get it on. I suggest this as when I connect it to my pc it recognizes the device and shows in the device manager as an htc unspecified device (this is progress). As I cannot boot android it does not show as an additional drive in file manger. when I try some of the fastboot oem commands I get bad command errors, whilst fastboot getvars is ok. Could this be why I cannot get revolutionary to S-OFF!
Thanks
additional info, when usb is in an in fastboot usb, the device manager sees it as android 1.0

If you can still get to bootloader / fastboot screen, then you are rarely ever bricked.
1. Ignore anything and everything to do with revolutionary and fastboot for now. I'm afraid the first few posts while trying to be helpful have been misleading. Get your phone booting up into Android OS first, i.e. into a stock ROM using an RUU
2. Use the 2.3.3. GB RUU, nothing else, it doesn't need a goldcard or care about CID etc.
3. Download it from the bottom here, then use Bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, Point [7] to run it as a PB99IMG.zip from the root of your sdcard. That way you don't need to run it through USB or care about what drivers are installed.
Thank you Eddie, I will try that. I did try flash a PB99IMG.zip before with no success but I will try again.
I found it here Official Stock Sense Gingerbread_v1.2 GB-2.3.3_A2SD – http://androidba.se/J7 for desire (neophyte)
I hope it can work out ok. I guess I format the sd card to fat32 not ext4
Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
A

That's a custom rom.
Here's the link for the 2.3.3 ruu.

That did not work because the file is not an RUU...it is a stock rooted custom ROM with A2SD (the clue is in the name). It is designed to flashed in recovery like any other ROM. Renaming it to PB99IMG.zip won't do anything.
Use the actual shipped roms RUU link provided.
Reformat your sdcard to a single FAT32 partition if necessary, then follow Method [7] of the guide, place only the PB99IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard (not in any folder)
