I have a HTC Desire 816 with a broken screen but everything else seems to be working fine as I can call it (rings) and change the volume. Now I would like to wipe my personal data so I can sell the phone. Is it possible to do that without a working screen? It is rooted and I think I'm able to enter recovery. What can I do? Thanks in advance!
PS: I'm quite a newbie, so it would be nice if you could explain me what to do in detail or post a link with a detailed description.

Hi all,
I am new to all of this so forgive any ignorance or me being seemingly stupid!
I bought an unlocked T-Mobile G2 (HTC Desire Z) off ebay. I would like to put a stock ROM on it from HTC, however i cannot use HTC Sync, it refuses to recognise my phone. Only as a Mass Storage Device. I've tried the generic drivers suggested somewhere else, it just does not work.
What would be my steps to get it to an UNBRANDED Htc Desire Z, as in the lastest ROM from Htc? I'm not familiar with rooting etc, so it would need to be a beginners guide, apologies. Links would be good etc, basically anything to help me out at all! Plus it is all English (united states), so phone numbers are in US format, where i want UK. Not a big deal but when you are used to 07000123456, and you suddenly see 070-001-23456 it just isn't right, for me obviously.
Anyway i hope i've explained what i'd like to do. Any help with this is very much appreciated.
Regards.

you need to do 2 things... first find out whether your phone is T Mobile G2 or htc desire Z......
T Mobile G2 has T mobile branding on the front glass panel and it says G2 on back battery cover....
Desire Z has no Branding on Front Glass panel and its battery Cover says HTC not G2....
both sets have different stock roms and putting one rom on other can potentially brick your phone.....
and after you conclude whether its a desire Z or G2 find out whether its rooted or not and if its S-off or does it have Eng-Hboot.....
if you want totally factory software you need to undo all those... that is getting Stock hboot if you have Eng-hboot.....
go Back to S-on if your S-off
and unroot if your rooted....
only than you can apply the factory stock rom and use the wireless updates ......
for all this i suggest you read the wiki carefully..... here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
there is no substitute for carefully reading and understanding the Wiki.... it gives all essential steps to root and how to unroot..... to s-Off and how to get back to S-on.... and finally to install Eng-hboot and to get back Stock hboot.....
read it.... prefreably more than once ... than decide your course of action... than if your confident do it... otherwise discuss your case in detail over here in Q & A section.... some senior member would help you out in either saying yup all steps look good go ahead... or say no your doing it woring do it this way...
hope it helps
Hi and thanks for the reply.
Yes it is a T-Mobile G2, it has the logo on the glass and on the battery plate. I shall do some reading. it does look as though it has original hboot, as i found when holding power & vol down button.

Hey guys,
my htc has stopped working completely and ive looked over google and most of them tell how to hard reset but i cant do this as when i get onto the screen the volume buttons which control the menu don't work and i cant do anything. Is there any way round this at all and can anyone help me
thanks in advance
You need to define broken.
Without knowing how your wildfire got into this state we cannot help fully.
If you cannot elaborate I recommend flashing an ruu. Please search the forum for a guide.

Reinstall stock rom
Hi everybody!
I'm not sure if I had selected right place to publish my question, but... I hope so
I have some problems with my HTC Wildfire (A3333) and I want to reinstall stock ROM : android froyo 2.2.1.
I have little (better to say no) experience with installing /reinstalling android software, so I don't know what to do. I tried to use some manuals online, but that didn't bring any success to me :-/
I hope somebody will mention my post, so please would you be so kind and tell me what to do?
Thanks a lot!

Ti restore Htc
Hello.. the first thing you have to do that check your security is On or Of If your security is of so you able to flash stock back if your security is on so you have to unlock the bootloader after that you have to find the right model ruu file for htc to restore it.... and that's all :good:
I have an HTC Desire Eye (eyetuhl) Taiwan phone.
I have successfully bought sunshine S-Off and installed HTC Desire Eye Beatmod 1.1.
Wanted to go back to stock and thought that I could flash any Desire Eye firmware as I am S-Off.
Unfortunately no success!!! I have wiped phone and cant install any Rom or TRWP Backup anymore. The phone reboot straight to Bootloader and all flash attempts come up as failed.
Never Mind!!! Faulty SD Card was the issue!!!

Hi. I have a problem with HTC M9 with stock rom. Phone without any modifications and software upgrade was made few weeks ago. Phone after start display HTC logo, few sec after I have black screen and restart. HTC support recommended me to do factory reset but I'm not sure if my lady have any data backup. So there is a question: it is possible to read any data like photos form this phone? I would be grateful for any help.
Phone details:
S-ON
Locked
Software status official
you've solved it?... without going to htc for support

Nope. Adb is the only way if you can't access the rom. Not sure if htc allow adb in their own software but if you don't have adb debugging enabled your goosed for a backup.
You're just gonna have to bite the bullet!.

Hi , I am facing the same issue.. HTC one m9 is stuck in the boot screen, when tried to do a factory reset had an error of failed to mount cache. HTC asked me to do a RUU, but my phone is from UAE and htc.com has ruu only for US phones. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
