Flashed hboot-eng.img on HTC desire HD and phone wont boot - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have flashed the hboot-eng.mg in an attempt to get s-off onto my htc desire hd, and now it wont boot at all, no signs of life. The battery has died though, and now if i plug it in to my windows computer I can use ADB, but I cannot get into fastboot or hboot. I need help getting back to stock hboot. Before getting bricked, it was s-on, unlocked bootloader, running cyangenmod 12 with twrp 2.8.7.0. Any help would be much appreciated
PS I am new to XDA forums, this is my frist post

If you still have access to adb shell you could try adb command to get you to fastboot or RUU mode.
So practically you could flash a normal updated hboot and get full s-off through your rom by unlocking your bootloader with htc_devs way.
I have answered before how to flash a 2.00.0029 hboot and unlock your device here.
You can also chexk here and here how to S-OFF your device after hboot unlock.

Possibly bricked my Desire with RUU without switching back to original hboot

I had Oxygen hboot installed but wanted to switch back to original ROM. I Ran RUU but forgot to replace hboot with original one.
Now i have gray HTC in middle and /!\ in corners.
I can run RUU again and it recognizes the phone, but gives ERROR[152]:IMAGE UPDATE ERROR and recovery option doesn't help either, ends up with same error while retrying.
I can't boot into bootloader with power+vol. down
Any suggestions what to do next ? Is there any solutions ?
Nevermind, Fastboot worked. Flashed correct hboot, ran RUU again and it's working now.
please help
Can you be more specific for a noob?! I have the exact same problem and i'm desperate. What exactly did you do?
You need to fastboot flash (using commands or android flasher) the Alpharev downgrader image like it says on the alpharev site. Basically the same way you flashed your current hboot.
done
thanks guys, mine is working too now
Hi guyz!
I just bought a second hand Desire from a guy i dont know, and it seems it has some issues. I know it is not bricked as i can enter the bootloader and the fastboot mode. But that's all. I cannot access any recovery i flash, or boot any rom.
I flashed several RUU's via bootloader, one of them is booting but it reboots as soon as it settles down. Others dont even boot.
I am familiar with flashing, with fastboot and all that, i just have no experience in HTC Desire.

So this is what i get. Is there a method to get some working ROM on this one, other than flashing RUU's that doesnt seem to work? Or flashing with recovery?
I have flashed clockwork recovery via fastboot, it still doesnt work. It vibrates 7 times than the screen stays at the htc logo.
Maybe there is a fastboot method to inject all the stock stuff into the phone? And maybe somebody have those img's?
Many thanks, guys!

Hboot 0.83 & S-ON & No Recovery and No Booting OS

Hi,
I looked at similar threads but couldn't solve my problem, which is;
I was using custom rom with data2ext tools without any problems. I just realized that although my RomManager's Clockworkmod recovery version was 5.0.2.0, i see 2.5.0.7 on the recovery screen. Then i found that my desire went to S-ON back.
While i was trying to make S-OFF, i used AlphaRev, first step was ok, then it restarted the phone, saying "waiting for bootloader". Even after the Hboot screen comes up, it didn't get further. I tried another tools, such as Revolutionary, but it says "Hboot 0.83 is not supported". I can not use fastboot tool also since i am S-ON. When i try to flash anything (recovery.img, boot.img etc.) it gives the famous "...malformed.." error.
So now i can only enter HBoot and Fastboot screen. When i enter recovery, it freezes on HTC Logo on the white screen. When i restart the phone normally, it again freezes on the same screen.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have a Desire GSM? If yes, flash 2.3.3 RUU and then use Revolutionary.
Swiftkeyed from ICS with Transparent XDA App
Yes, i have Desire GSM. Now i am downloading the RUU exe. I hope the correct one
Ok. After a bricked sd card, i made a new gold card Flashed a WWE RUU via PB99. Then root, s-off. Now i am able to install anything
Thanx again

[Q] Phone won't boot past the HTC logo screen!

Heya! I tried to go back to Stock completely. And probably messed up big time... I simply downloaded a Europe RUU from Shipped Roms and installed it on my Desire.
This is the RUU I downloaded: http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...io_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684.exe
My HTC Desire is from Denmark, in Europe, if that matters
So, it seems like everything was installed correctly and it ended saying that it'd reboot my phone, but now it doesn't get past the logo.
I try to boot into bootloader (I think it's called? ), the power + vol down, and I can get into that. But I can't fastboot or boot into recovery... So not sure what to do from there...
I've used unRevoked to s-off and root my phone. I've been running CM7 till now.
Please help

Try with 2.3 RUU, or try bortak's guide.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Bortak's guide? Do you have a link? EDIT: I was looking at this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632 - but I can't see what stage my phone would be at.. :/
- As I said, it won't get past the HTC logo, so the computer won't recognize it. I can't install a new RUU, I tried... :/
I don't know where I can find v. 2.3 either, I couldn't see it on shipped roms
As I said, I am stuck at the HTC screen, but I can load it up into bootloader, and when I try to go to Recovery, it just starts up at the HTC screen again, stuck.
First post hboot/fastboot screen info
2) was phone s-off prior RUU?
3) Is your phone recognised in fastboot mode via USB cable? -boot phone power+back button to fastboot, connect USB cable and run in cmd or terminal "fastboot devices" without quotes-bear in mind htc sync must be uninstalled and unrevoked drivers installed.

Yeah, my phone was S-OFF and rooted when I tried to install the RUU
This is what my bootloader screen says:

HBOOT USB PLUG
then the menu.
I get the Android Bootloader Interface pop-up on my computer when I plug it in in Bootloader.
I have uninstalled HTC Sync, but not sure if my UNrevoked drivers are still installed. Trying the power down + back button, this is in power + vol down.
When I have it in fastboot (Went from the power + vol down to the fastboot option.) it pops up as "My HTC" in my device management (I'm on Windows 7 64-bit)
It says that fastboot is an unrecognized program when I try to run it from CMD.
My desire says "FASTBOOT USB", surrounded by red color.
Have you downloaded fastboot? Go to bortak's guide and download it from resources, fastboot.zip
Sent from my Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
Then download hboot downgrade from alpharev.nl, folow instructions there then you can run RUU, use 2.29.405 WWE, if not branded
Sent from my Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
Okay, I installed the fastboot from Bortak's guide, installed Android SDK as well (to be safe) and went and did the alpharev.nl stuff. Flashed HBOOT Downgrader and I installed the WWE 2.29.405 RUU.
Everything's coooool and working it seems!
Thanks man

I was struck in this same situation about a month ago. First of all My desire was S-OFF with stock hboot at that time. This is what i did at that time:laugh:
You need to go to alpharev site and download the Bravo Downgrader. Download Fastboot commander from the forum. And boot your desire in fastboot mode and connect it to pc. And flash the bravo downgrader file via fastboot commander. And then you can install any RUU assuming your desire is unbranded if not you need to make a goldcard.
Hope this helps.

Desire HD S-OFF help

Hello,
a friend of mine has HTC Desire HD but it stucks on the HTC boot logo. I tried to go into recovery but it does not have any custome recovery only Hboot. It says it is S-On. Now, the problem is, I have s-unlocked and rooted many phones. But, for unlocking boot loader, almost all the procedures i found requires enabling usb debugging mode from settings...but since the phone does not even start the OS...how can I do that? So, any idea how to unlock the boot loader when there is no custom recovery or os working on the phone?
Thanks.
As far as I know, you unlock the bootloader from fastboot, not ADB.

Well the Ruu files are here but you have to know which one to use for your phone depending on carrier and where you live I believe
I used this guide for my Telus Desire HD: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
I couldn't get the token from HTC until I upgraded to 2.00.0029 from .27.

HTC Desire 626s Unlocked Bootloader,now to get S-OFF?

I'm a complete noob at this but all I am trying to get at this point is my HTC Desire 626s.
I have unlocked the Bootloader for now but S-ON is still on. My phone is fine and at this point I'm trying to complete a TWRP recovery .img I got from this thread (that didn't tell anything about twrp recovery,only cyanogen recovery method update and download)
So could someone help me out with what I need to do?
Note:
-Bootloader is unlocked
-I'm a noob,so some terms won't work on me.
-adb reboot bootloader gives me a "ADB Server out of date. Killing" message.
-The reason I need S-OFF is because thats the error message I got "FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state)"
after trying to flash in bootloader mode.
And if anyone has time,why does everyone mention this "fastboot mode" when I only see three different modes,as you can "reboot" to them.
Download,Bootloader,and Recovery Mode.
Thank you for anyone who replies,I'm a complete noob that just needs help,I'm a bit worried I unlocked my bootloader for nothing.
This is a forum for the HTC Desire Bravo A8181.
See with your own eyes.
