I had a unlocked rooted S-ON A5_dwg hTC desire 816
It had installed busy box app installed on its own when it got rooted,
When i opened the busy box app, there I had an option to install the app in some particular location there.
But due to some error that wasn't getting installed in that path, it suggested me to try in a different path or system directory,
I selected another location from the drop down menu in that busy box app. then tried installing, but it still didn't, but some error occurred and the installation got aborted.
From that time onwards, I wasn't able to install any app from Google play store, it showed some error in installing the app.
Then i tried switching on radio, but the radio app wasn't switching on. and then i tried to power off the phone to restart, but now
1.) The home screen, apps arre gone,
2) Not recognising sim cards,
3.) The phone is bricked,
4.) It is not getting detected on computer although the usb is detects.
I took it to service centre guy at Jayanagar, Bangalore, that guy says, nothing can't be done since the phone is rooted and the only means of fixing is to change the motherboard which costs 7k INR, which i cant afford. :crying::crying:
Please help me, am crying without any phone in hand. Please someone help me. :crying::crying::crying:
Thanks a ton in advance...!

hi guys,
so i have a serious problem, probably my own fault, but hopefully someone here can help me out!...
so earlier today my phone restarted itself, then when it came back on i lost all funtionality in my SDcard, then lost usb recognition to windows! so after reading all and many failed attempts i decided to use a ruu (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe) to restore it to hopefully working condition...
so it worked fine, it booted up, sim card was recognized.. but then within a few seconds my network operator is no long working, (works in old phone and my old sim works in this one) .. when i go to network operators, search networks, i click on orange and it just says 'your sim card does not allow connection to this network'
i have a unbranded desire, did i use the wrong ruu?!
any ideas guys?! im going insane here!
* oh and i formatted sd card to fat32, and now that just says unrecognised!
How long you have this phone?
I suspect it may be network barred which it block to use UK network because it has been report lost or stolen the phone IEMI# will be enter in their blacklist.
i have had it 5 months i think, but the sim card i have works in my old phone still?
how would it become barred becuase i returned to what i think is a default ruu?
Not sure, I'm not best person to solve.
Maybe RUU error, because I cannot find Orange RUU in XDA for some reasons.
I can see there is T Mobile, Vodafone etc but no Orange on list.
ok, thanks... i have just noticed something else now...
when connecting my usb to pc, it isnt recognized anymore so i check device manager and it now displays 'qualcomm cdma technologies msm' in other devices!
did the ruu somehow change my phone from gsm to cdma?!
i have tried selecting gsm only in network options but my desire wont let me!
Sound like a USB brick. Try this.
thanks mate,
having trouble though...
i have got to the point of installing terminal emulator but cant issue even the first command.. just says permission denied or directory nonexsistent!
You probably need root, are you rooted again after the ruu? If yes first type "su". If not and unrevoked doesn't work maybe try visionary to temp root.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
no, i cant root because i cant connect to the pc to use unrevoked... are there always ways to root?
apart from the apk you just suggested which i will try now...
my network signal is now back on, my sdcard is now recognized again thanks to a code i found to use in fast boot...
just need to restore the usb functionality now!
I have an old AT&T Samsung Eternity, off contract, and they sent me the unlock code as well. However, I managed to brick it before I realized it was asking for the unlock code not my PIN. So it was stuck at "Phone Freeze, Sim Unavailable, Please contact service provider".
1) I searched the web, got a ROM called A867UCHJ3 and Multiloader 5.67.
2) Put the phone in "download mode" and it showed ROM version MSM6290 on it. Initially had issues with download button on Multiloader not being available.
3) Installed "Samsung_USB_driver_for_mobile_phones.exe" which led to the PC recognizing the phone, modem etc. but does not show USB mass storage.
4) Multiloader recognized the phone and I selected the option MSM6275/MSM6280/MSM6290 on it. Then I checked Boot, Amss, Rsrc1, Rsrc2, FactoryFS and gave their locations to it as per the instructions. Screenshot is attached.
5) Had issues with "Serial port open" while downloading but was able to get around it.
6) The phone rebooted, asked me to re-calibrate the screen and all the past data was gone (background etc). It looked like fresh ROM.
7) However, when I put a new SIM and reboot, it gives the same "Phone freeze... message".
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
still no go
Its been a month, I am still looking for a solution. Of all the smart people here, someone must have some pointers?
Hello,
I bought a HTC One M9 and after 1 year, the device hat a bootloop. When I launched the device, it starts until there was a message "Optimizing Apps" (German: "Apps werden optimiert").
I think, the phone made an update and got an error. (I can't say it, because it's not my one.)
Because of this problems i tried to recover the phone and only got an red triangle. I thought, the phone was broken and sent it to HTC in poland. While the phone was sent in, i found out, that i had to push some Buttons to recover the phone.
Now, HTC said, the phone has a water damage and sent it back to me.
Now I have a phone, which only boots into the bootloader menu. I can't start the recover mode (there comes an error message) and also can't start into the download mode.
The phone also starts only into the bootloader mode (bootloop).
I can communicate to the phone by fastboot (not by adb), but some answers are empty.
For Example:
I enter: fastboot oem get_identifier_token and the answer is empty.
Also the answer for the battery Status is empty. (i can't say it exactly, because i made the tests one week ago, but something like: "accu-capazity: "
I think, because of this answer, the RUU tool stops flashing with the error message, that the accu-capazity is not high enough.
What can I do?
Thanks for any help.
Try sync manager or the original ruu if not rooted.
If rooted try flashing a rom from the sdcard.
The "optimising apps" message is an app you've installed that either doesn't have an odex or you've uninstalled an app and it didn't erase the odex. Rogue apps is the answer to the original problem and you didnt need to mess with the phone.

Hello,
thanks for your Reply. I've forgot this post.
I have an original phone, i didn't root it and also changed something on the System.
I've tried the sync Manager but there's no Option to repair my phone.
I also downloaded a RUU File. It's not verificated for Windows but the Setup seems very trustly.
Do you have other ideas to fix the phone?
According to your last answer, you also think, that this error isn't triggerd by an water damage?
There is no way that message can be caused by water damage.
Beamed in by telepathy.
But is there a way to fix the phone?
I can't get to the download mode, the sd-card method didn't work and the RUU tool says, the accu is to low.
Hello,
I have a HTC Desire 820 White/Blue mobile phone and about a week ago, suddenly it stopped working. When I try to open it, fastboot screen pops up and I couldn't find a way to surpass it:
I asked around some FB groups and they told me that it lacked stock rom and I needed to load a stock rom into it. When I searched about this in the net, I found this rom:
androidfilehost. com /?fid=24438995911974313
I downloaded this one, loaded it to my SD card, inserted it into my phone, and when I tried to turn my phone on again, the same menu appeared. I had tried to load a rom(which didn't work because it was incompatible with my phone's version) before, and that time, when I selected "HBOOT", it found the rom in the SD card and tried to load it(but couldn't, because as I said, it was incompatible; then I found this compatible rom). But this time my phone didn't see the rom in the SD card, accordingly didn't try to load it.
What did I do wrong? What should I do?
Thank you by now.
Sorry for my bad English btw.
provide info

I have a problem. I have a tendency to destroy phones, which is why the last 2 phones I owned has been HTC M8. They are rugged enough for me not to destroy them.
However, 10 months ago the first one had problems with the battery, so I replaced the phone because it was cheaper than replacing the battery. The second one have worked fine, but lately the USB plug is worn out, so charging is becoming a problem.
This leads me to my problem. I (ofcause) bought a 3d one. This one was hardly used, and was 1 owner phone.
As it turns out, the previous owner had made 1 mistake. He had done the factory reset, but half way through it, it ran out of power. This means that booting it up, causes loads of errors: Gapps errors, Sense Home errors, Hangout errors and finally Google play service errors.
Now, I have worked with computers from 1991-2016 (including IT support for all the major companies) so I do know how to fix something like this - if this was windows . But since this is Android, I am a complete noob . I am just too stubborn to give up on this phone just because it has corrupt software . But this is a LOT more difficult than working with Windows I think Prior to this I have only rooted 1 phone, and that was in 2013 . I have been working on this the last 2 days .
So here is what I have managed to do so far:
I have unlocked bootloader through the HTC website and I can access the recovery program. Through that I have wiped cache, Ramdump, and done something like 15+ factory reset.
Through this I am able to get into the phone - sort of. I get a box asking if I want to send an Error rapport - and when I do that, I can get into the settings on the phone.
Through the settings, I have enabled developers options + enabled Debug, and disabled Fastboot.
I also tried to cleared cache on Gapps, google play services and Hangout - but that didnt help - so I disabled those things.
Now I can sort of use the phone. I cant update it, and it doesnt find the sim card. It does however connect find through wifi.
After all of that, I have been able to connect the phone to the computer though USB. I get both computer and phone to accept the connection (type in the code) and I can transfer files to the phone. It also works in HTC Sync software.
In Bootloader I can also get it to find FASTBOOT USB, so it does find something.
However, next step was that I had to root the phone using ADB and TWRP but I cant seem to get that connection working. Both programs finds no devices. So I am not able to actually root the phone.
I also tried RUU but had the same problem. Cant seem to get that connection working, so I can flash/root the phone.
Because of this, I tried to install upgraded versions of Android using an SD card. I can get the phone to read those zip files, but it always ends up with an: "Footer error" or "Verification failed".
I even tried the official HTC Android Marshmallow that you can download, but that came with the same verification error.
The only version that got close was an older version of the software on it. That one came up and said it was an older one, and aborted the installation because of that.
I have tried:
crDroidAndroid-6.0.1-20160826-m8
crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20180117-m8-v3.8.5
crDroidAndroid-9.0-20190315-m8-v5.2
himauhl-3.10.84-perf-g09631a4
m8qlul-3.10.49-perf-g6f6e344
OTA507
So what am I asking help with? The simple answer is that I wanna install new android software - similar to reinstalling windows. The old phone had Android 5, and the first one Android 6. If I can upgrade to something newer, that would be a bonus, but I am good with "just" getting the phone to work .
So how do I get the phone to accept that zipfile for the android software? How do I get passed that Footer Error/verification error?
Oh and please explain the steps I need to take, for complete a complete noob . Simple steps will be greatly appreciated

OTA_HIMA_UHL_L51_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.1-1.40.401.8_release_444119
This one came up with a Sideload package error - Status 255. From what I can tell by google, that is an error caused by CM or TWRP. Its suppose to be corrected by deleting some files in TWRP but I dont have TWRP.
So how do I solve this new problem?
