Half-bricked DHD?!? Is it repairable?

Hi XDA-Guys,
first of all, I am a moron because I think that I've bricked my phone.
How did I bricked it? Let me tell you:
I tried several ROMs (MIUI, Cyanogenmod, Android Revolution, ICS Beta ROMs). Everything was fine flashing with Clockwork. I've permrooted it once with Visionary+.
Then I wanted to sell my phone to a friend and forgot to turn off all the rooted options and started the latest RUU (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_R_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_233505_signed.exe). Before that I also flashed the latest Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.
It didn't work. I got this error:
ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR.
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I bought the DHD from O2 in Germany when it came out in October/November 2010.
I thought: "Okay, no problem. Download the RUU from O2."
I tried the RUU_Ace_O2_DE_1.32.207.1_Radio_12.28a.60.140e_26.03.02.08_M_release_153755_signed.exe and it didn't work. Then I tried another RUU: RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe. I tried alot of RUUs but none of it worked.
Everytime I got the same error. When I got into Fastboot it begins to flash and I can see the silver HTC font with the black background and then the error occurs: ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR.
It doesn't work because I'm on S-ON, right?
I think when I started my first RUU (the latest one) it got S-ON.
I can go into Recovery mode and restore another old backup but when the phone boots it got stuck with the white screen and green HTC font.
I tried several ROMs.
When I boot into HBOOT by pressing VOL DOWN and POWER this occurs:

I also tried creating a Goldcard with booting into Fastboot and starting the latest RUU --> didn't work. :-(
I tried starting the RUU till the first screen and copied the "rom.zip" out of the folder C:\Users\HorstHeinz\AppData\Local\Temp\{CFD2B623-C8F0-49BD-B58A-B660BD3E6320}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}, renamed it to PD98IMG.zip and copied it to the root of the SD-Card. And when I booted the phone into HBOOT it recognizes the file. It loads, it checks...and then it failed again: "CID incorrect! Update fail! Press <POWER> to reboot.
Where is the mistake? Can I throw away my smartphone?
Kind regards,
Horschti

First off, you aren't bricked. It turns on. So don't panic. Do you have Google Talk or anything? If you do, PM me that and I'll help you. Thanks!
PS. Do NOT throw your phone away!

This might help:
[Guide] Stuck in Hboot Read This

You might also want to look at you CID, if you are "Super CID" you may not be able to flash RUU from a provider. You will need to find your providers CID (there are many threads etc) and then write that (using the easy S-off tool) then flash your RUU.
If you Flash an older RUU and then update you will overwrite your Rooted options.

@azrael97c:
I tried a lot of guides, but I haven't tried this one.
I will tell you if it worked. Thx for your help.

@wbbigdave:
Yeah, that was my first idea to make it work. Maybe I find another CID-Change-Tutorial. But SUPER CID_1111111 is the one where I can flash every RUU, right?

yeah your good to go

@azrael97c:
The tutorial you've sent me didn't work either. :-(
I always get the same error when I've copied PD98IMG.zip into the root folder of the SDCard. And I also tried a couple of PD98IMG.zip --> "CID incorrect! Update fail! Press <POWER> to reboot.
@xXkingsromXx:
Yeah, I know! The idea was good, but in reality it of course didn't work. :-(
I'm not able to create the goldcard because I just can get into HBoot and from there to recovery mode. In recovery mode I'm able to read out the CID.
From the tutorial in XDA I've wanted to create it with help of Google a Goldcard. I've found a Goldcardtool.exe-Tool. But it also didn't work. :-(

[Q] No ROM or anything installed on phone [SOLVED]

Dear reader,
Thanks in advance for your time. I have to, yet again, rely on your knowledge. Even though there is an endless amount of knowledge available on these forums, it seems that I keep searching for the wrong keywords since I am not getting the results I need.
I have been running CyanogenMod for a year now, and I decided I was up for a change. I rebooted into recovery and installed MIUI.us. I do have to admit I don't know much when it comes to flashing, installing differents OS's, etc.
Let me describe the situation: I wanted to start all over again, clean the SD-card and internal memory and re-install MIUI but somewhere in the process I got stuck. Now my screen is stuck on the HTC screen, and the only thing I can do is load into -I don't really now what it is called- (I lack the terminology). The screen is as follows:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF

When I press recovery I get the cellphone with the red triangle and exclamation mark on top of it. If I then press vol-up + power I get the Android system recovery <3e> screen. When I select to apply the update.zip I get an error. This is probably because I don't have it no my SD card due to me having formatted it.
So now I don't know which steps to follow. Can any of you tell me how to fix my issue, or refer me to a good tutorial that handles my problem.
My apologies again for having to rely on your time again. Thanks in advance!
Yours sincerely,
Nicolas

If i understood well the reason update is failing is because you dont have a update.zip file on your sd card right?
If this is the case download one of the stock roms listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610483
or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19101263#post19101263
If your not sure which one to download download this RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879375
If you download a update.zip put it in your sdcard on the main directory and boot to bootloader -the screen for which you lacked the terminology-
update should occur automatically.
If you decide to download a RUU instead of a update.zip...
To get update.zip from RUU download and run the RUU on your pc without connecting your device to the pc and follow on screen instructions, once you get to the part when it tells you to connect your phone go to the temp folder on windows and extract rom.zip to desktop, rename to update.zip and do the steps above.
You only need one method for update.zip i posted 2 to give you the option to chose which one you prefer.
Please press the thanks button if I was helpful.
Pm me if that doesn't work

Thank you
Thanks for your clear elaborate explanation. My cellphone is again happily running MIUI without any problems.
For future references: I have followed your second option since I didn't know which stock rom to download. As filefactory constantly didn't have a free download spot, I downloaded the RUU using the link found on post number 334. The link brought everything back in order, and allowed me to use the ace hack kit afterwards.
Thanks again inspiredbyhtc for your time and help. Credit is of course given where credit is due. Much appreciated!

Stuck on splash screen

Hi guys I have a mytouch 3G slide and I was able to get the bootloader unlocked. However even before I unlocked the bootloader I was unable to get the phone to work it would stay at the mytouch slide splash screen. Im on the new hboot and a am able to get into fastboot and hboot. However when I click recovery in hboot it takes me to the tmobile slash screen and never gets into recovery. I have flashed the original recovery but still no luck. I can't reboot the phone all they way. Anyone know what's wrong?

Hey Moe92,
I'm pretty much in the same situation as you!
I was given a phone to fix that has water damage, the owner disclosed that up front and I can see this based on the moisture sensor on the device.
The phone boots up and is stuck on the splash screen with out any activity after this. This is the same screen that I see when trying to enter recovery.
The only thing the phone can do is go into fastboot and hboot. Let me make a list of all the activities I have tried to perform and what ended up happening. As of now I still cannot fix the phone.
Device Details in Hboot
Code:
ESPRESSO PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.02.0002
MICROP-0620
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0102
RADIO-7.15.35.16
Dec 13 2001,11:34:01
The items I've performed so far are:
* Downloaded two different versions of ESPRIMG.zip and placed them on the SDCARD for the device. Neither loads up by the device and they both fail.
The MD5 hash for each version is: 892b885010563208edc3037dfec40425 and 9e80d53b4afa73ecf0d58f703831ac82
* Created a goldcard and tried to run the above two files with the same result.
* Tried to enter recovery from the device; ends up on the boot splash screen and hangs
* Tried to use fastboot to flash several recovery images: Clockwork 2.5.0.7, recovery-RA-Saphire-v1.7.0, recovery.img from the ESPRIMG.zip files
* Each time fastboot flashes the recovery sucessfully, but trying to get to it ends up with a boot splash screen hang.
I'm starting to believe the phone is bricked, or something occurred internally when it became wet. I have no idea what the software was on it prior to it being wet.
From your experience does this phone have any luck of being restored? I've spent two days looking over the threads and trying to avoid asking a question that may be answered; but have had no success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually sometimes and this rarely happens... I can load into the welcome screen but everythine that happens, the phone is in safe mode. When I power down the phone it goes back to the splash screen and hangs there. I have to keep flashing the Tom many many time and pray that it gets into the welcome screen again.
BTW I can unlock the bootloader. Does anyone know what I can do after I unlock the boot loader?. I tried to flash zips via fadtboot but got the error where it cannot determine the signature. When unlocking the hboot, are there specific things I can do via fastboot? Please let me know. Thanks

I have also unlocked the bootloader by using the token provided by htcdev.
What zip did you try to flash to yours? I haven't tried that from fastboot yet. I only tried to flash each component of the ESPRIMG using fastboot with out any luck.

Moe,
Do you have any information on how to boot the device into safe mode?
I tried to use fastboot to flash an update.zip but that method did not work either :crying:

Does anyone have access to the ESPDIAG.zip for this device?
Ran out of ideas at this point .

well when i unlocked the bootloader. i then decided to relock it. once i relocked it. i went to the HTC website and got the 2.2.1 RUU. once the RUU downloaded, i reloaded the phone with the firmware and once it was done, it booted o the entire OS but it was in safe mode. i didnt press any buttons for it to get into safe mode. it went in by itself...
also when i shut the phone off and truend it back on, i was back in square one where i was stuck in the boot loader screen.
Also you can extract the original ESPRIMG.zip file from the offical 2.2.1 ruu. In order to extract the .zip file, you first have to run the RUU. Once you click on the Downloaded RUU program, let it run. once the first page of the RUU comes up, follwo the below directions to extract the .zip file. DO NOT flash the phone with RUU if you want to extract the .zip file.
Here are the step by step instructions
1. open my computer
2. click on the main drive. (for me it was the C: drive)
3. click on users
4. click on you computer name (the one that has the lock on it)
5. click Appdata. (appdata is a hidden folder. to un-hide it, click---> Organize/Folder and search options/view/ scroll down to hidden files and folders/ click on show all files and folders)
6. click on Local (NOT Locallow or Roaming)
7. click on Temp
8. when you get into the folder, sort the files to the DATE MODIFIED
9. when you have it sorted, you will see some folders such as ({95153F7E-B880-4656-B55D-54DD7869F984}), the name of the folders can and will be different. open each folder and when you come across a folder that has the ADB application, scroll down the folder until you reach the LETTER "R". you will then see a .zip file named "rom". copy that file onto the desktop or any other folder. rename it to ESPRIMG.ZIP.
10. format your SD CARD to FAT32. once the format is complete, copy/move the extracted rom/ESPRIMG.zip file into the sd card.
11. put SD card in the phone.
12. Hboot should then detect the esprimg file.

Thanks! I'll check this out. Unfortunately I returned the phone to its owner, I'll have to get it back to see if I can resolve his issue.

[Q] Victim of 5.07.651.6 update - BOOT LOOP + No Access To The Recovery Mode ! HELP

Hey Guys
My Story started from 6 days ago when i wanted to change my battery , the device now is keep restarting on White screen ( HTC EVO 4G ) and hangs whenever i press the recovery mode in bootloder menu .
I Almost tried everything and only successfully unlocked the boot loader finally using --->([HowTo] Unlock Bootloader And Root 2.3.5 HBOOT 2.18 ) "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755 but no chance to S-OFF the device and replace the whole ROM "
i can't root and downgrade the phone because all "bootloader: 2.18.0001 " methods need either active debugging mode or recovery menu which is not accessible !
i have access only through the fastboot - Hboot USB or SdCard .
I have tried almost all version of RUUs and it failed , says " bootloder version error " or " the main version is older "
PC36IMG Downgrade to the 4.67.651.3 which is last available version from the sd card also failed says " the main version is older "
here is the Fastboot info

INFOversion-baseband: 2.15.00.01.15

by the way i figure it out that i may be able to trick the htc and change the txt file called android-info.txt inside the PC36IMG for the " Main version is older " ERROR but Unfortunately i have no permission to edit or modify my stock ruu Rom "PC36IMG " that i extracted from last available RUU version for evo4g "RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3_Radio _2.1 5.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed" .
Any Idea Please ?

You need to install a custom recovery, which can be done from the bootloader. Search for Smelkusmod recovery here and follow the instructions on how to install it. Afterwards you can install a custom ROM
Edit: Here is the link for Smelkusmod recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543
Once installed, place whatever ROM you want on the root of your SD card. Then you can enter recovery from the bootloader screen and flash the ROM.
I also suggest reading Hipkat's guide which can be found in the link below.

Two things, either you have a bad partition or your recovery is gone. Easiest thing to do would be to load a custom recovery onto the root of your SD card and make sure the file is named PC36IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension or it won't work). Make sure the phone is powered off, then hold down the power down & volume buttons until the bootloader opens up. Hopefully the recovery will load and you'll be prompted to update. Just follow the on-screen instructions. Also, make sure you don't have any other PC36IMG's on your SD card.

many tanks for reply xx . . .the only thing i remember aside the changing the battery was that 1 day before this happen, i removed my sd card to recover some accidentally deleted picture using RecoverMyFiles software from my computer . . . i also tried loading a custom recovery and yes i certainly ensured that the file name is PC36IMG and formatted my SD card before transferring the file . . . i also tried different SD cards ex: 2gb - 4gb - 8g etc ! All those steps you just mentioned is carefully done ! and the result is that the device skip the update from the sd card says : no or wrong image !!
aside that i have upgraded my recovery to" recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.2-supersonic " and "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3 " and many other available recoveries through the fastboot since my bootloader is unlocked !
but the thing is nothing is loading after all those updates !!
the only thing got my attention was that when i update those custom recoveries the device would hangs after choosing recovery from the bootloader but if i use the 5.07.651.6 version original recovery the device would keep restarting !!

I just tried the Smelkusmod recovery one more time again from the Sdcard and it load the PC36IMG but hangs on " Parsing...[PC36IMG.zip] "
i was able to loaded it successfully through the fastboot method and the device hangs after i press the recovery from the boot loader menu as i expected

You need to download the .img file, not the PC36IMG.zip
Once you get the .img file, do the following (connected to PC in fastboot mode)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name.img>
The recovery has to be in the same directory as fastboot though

I purchased an HTC Evo 4G from Ebay and the hardware is perfect. My problem is exact same. Found out this thing has the 5.07 update and there is no RUU to restore it and can't go backwards with S-ON!!! Can't get S-OFF without booting as this thing won't go into recovery or boot at all. I did however **Unlocked** the bootloader and that is as far as I get. I even re-locked it to try all the RUUs! I develop roms for this device so I know what I am doing! Keep getting replies to flash custom recovery which I already tried all of them and unfortunately it will just bootloop instead of recovery. Even tried 'fastboot boot (recovery name) and fastboot flash recovery (revovery name)....Need someone to get into a RUU and modify it to by-pass the firmware version check if possible! If I can get this to boot into any rom, then I can fix this!!! Come on devs, if we can port-in beats, bravia, and all other device ports, we can solve this!

You need to relock and apply the signed firmware zip from the latest OTA. If that's the software version you were running, it *should* get you booting again.

Here's that file, if you can't find it elsewhere: http://d-h.st/3yF

Cool! Thank you for your input. But I put this thing aside in my computer store for awhile... I will try this zip today.. I did re-lock the bootloader before I posted earlier though and already tried re-installing the latest last known RUU but same issue... In fact, I tried all RUU available!! Also, if I can only get into recovery I can fix this thing. Hope this zip helps... Question, how do I apply this zip file if I cannot get into recovery in the first place? I'm quite sure the seller of this Evo did the latest OTA update before it crashed in middle of it and got this reboot loop in the first place. Is there a way to slipstream the extracted images of this zip into the latest RUU in the appdata hidden file while it is running on windows? lol - sorry for all this but this issue is crazy!!! NOTE: Don't get the last security OTA update for this thing!!! It's a SECURITY UPDATE alright.. LOL!

You flash the zip through HBOOT, not recovery. Rename to PC36IMG.zip (exactly), place on sd card in no folder, and choose yes to apply update once the bootloader reads it. Again, make sure you relock first, and then hopefully the device will boot. If it doesn't, it may be normalized to the point that you can unlock and flash a custom recovery and it actually stick.

Issue continues

I tried just this, relocked and renamed, after a few seconds in Hboot, it gave several lines of 'no image', then a final 'no image or wrong image', went back to normal Hboot.

I'm kinda have similar issue... I pulled my old Evo from box it has a-off ... When I booted up it went to home screen then just shut off by it self.. then kept bootloops .. I then tried to get to recovery it boots to HTC logo and bootloops too... I tried ruu it will still bootloops .. the reason y my phone died was because battery inside phone was bulky that's y it started.. got new battery still same problem... I'm thinking maybe ramdisk got messed up.. I can go to bootloader but that is it... What can it be? I mean if there is no solution I have another Evo I never rooted and still works...and also have Evo 4g lte. My back up phones just in case if something breaks

If it boot loops after you tried a RUU, then you have bigger problems and probably need to swap to one of your backup phones.

[Q] Desire HD needs SD Card reboot - Which ROM?

Up until yesterday I had a great little HTC Desire HD, A9191 with rooted gingerbread 2.3.5, an unlocked bootloader (from htcdev), S-ON - and everything in my garden was rosy... Then I tried to get too clever and pushed a new hosts file to /system/etc while I had su privileges.
This was a big file (540K) which I had been using quite happily on Windows to keep adware at bay. However, I now think it caused the phone to fail because the first time I tried to boot up after the push, it started looping round the boot sequence indefinitely. I am wondering if the IP for localhost, being 127.0.0.1, is incompatible with linux...? Anyway, that's a job for tomorrow because before I can think about draining the swamp there are some "alligators" to deal with...
While this continuous re-booting was going on I found I could still do "adb shell" and run "su" but all my attempts to restore hosts to the original file were futile because at this point the file system was "read-only" even for root. Then I made my biggest error which was to attempt "RECOVERY" from the boot menu...... ( I think my previous attempt to create a recovery file failed and I must have just forgotten to attend to it.)
The boot loader still responds and I am now looking at the boot screen which says:

HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
==============================================
Here's what happens with these various options:
1. Normal boot ends with "Sorry! Process system is not responding" and two buttons "Force close" and "Wait" - but in reality the phone is simply hung...
2. FASTBOOT ends with a phone gif and a red triangle / exclamation mark.
3. RECOVERY also ends with a phone gif and a red triangle / exclamation mark.
4. FACTORY RESET runs a black/white barber pole and sd card symbol for 2 minutes, then reboots as far as "quietly brilliant" but this then ends up the same as 1. above.
5. SIMLOCK produces this output:
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Process done, reboot device?
<VOL UP> Yes
6. IMAGE CRC produces this output:
osbl: 0x3AA5FD29
amss: 0xD791CCA8
hboot: 0xFB10D632
boot: 0x8446CCFD
recovery: 0x0x88F60913
system: 0x898C2200
When I put an sd card in the slot and press and hold the power button with HBOOT highlighted it produces this:

So am I right in thinking that it's not quite dead yet and still recoverable? I have made a few attempts to position ROM files in the root of the sd card, but so far without success.
Could someone please tell me (assuming it's not bricked yet) what file(s) I need to put on the sd card to stand any chance of recovering. Previously I had downloaded the nearest "stock rom" to the phone's original but this came as a .exe which just compounded my confusion as to what needs to be done.
Here's hoping...
Happy New Year to all.
