Anyone that can help me with this one, can be my new bestfriend
After getting really really depressed over being on the Official HTC Sense ROM with my Desire, I decided to change to the Starburst ROM. As the new Unrevoked doesn't work with the latest official build of Froyo from HTC I always, always use this when I want to downgrade and root, to install new roms.
Normally, I will use the utility as indicated, everything will go smoothly, Eclair 2.1 will install, however normally my phone will be locked, and I will have to remove my SIM, update to 2.2, my phone will become Unlocked after updating, and I will root. However this time, when the utility copied a misc_partition or something like that to my SD Card, it came up with a load of write errors, saying there wasn't enough room on my SD Card, which I know is wrong as there is well above 6GB on there, and it's a Goldcard. One advantage of the utility is, if anything goes wrong you can press CRTL-C and the utility will stop with no changes made to your phone, however in my case this wasn't so. I stopped the utility, thinking if I continued due to the write error I would encounter some more errors, and I decided to do a complete wipe of my phone using the on-board Factory Reset in the Setting's menu. After doing this, I started to encounter some problems.
First of all, when the phone enters the setup wizard, it says I have 4 bars of signal, and a 3G connection. After around 15 seconds of being in the Wizard, I will suddenly loose all mobile connection. After completing the setup wizard, I will be prompted by a notice telling me I need to Insert an SD Card. Well my card is in there, and I know its working because after these problems I put it into my brothers phone, and formatted it, and it showed up as working just fine. If an LG POP can mount my phone, surely a frigging HTC Desire can?
I have noticed that if I remove my SD Card, then the problems with the Network will go away and I will be able to connect, however sometimes when I boot it my phone will connect to the Network for about 5 minutes with the SD inserted, then return back to Limited Service. *I have attached a picture of what I am seeing.* This is really annoying me, I am going to download the Froyo 2.2 ROM from Shipped-Roms as the SD Card seems to mount fine in HBoot. Please though, can anyone help me. Thanks.
*This is starting to become very annoying now, I have been working on this for several hours now, and I still have no fix or nothing. I can't exactly be patient and I don't mean to sound like a tech addict, but my world revolves around my phone, I use it for business ect. When I connect my phone to my computer, I get a message saying 'Install Drivers For Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' I have heard of CDMA before, but I don't think my phone is CDMA? My phone was originally branded Orange in the UK? Anyone that can help, just please please help me!
Hi, sorry I can't help with your problem as it seems too complicated to me (noob here) but reading what you wrote sort of alarmed me as I've been reading/watching videos on rooting and I thought that unrevoked (latest version) worked on any desire. It says so on the unrevoked site but you wrote you can't do it on yours because of new build of froyo.
Don't understand that, I'm on vodafone and asked advice to a few people about rooting and nobody told that I couldn't use unrevoked. Are you sure you can't use it. How about you do a factory reset and reflash rom and see how it goes. I do hope you're wrong about unrevoked though as I'm about to use it any day now (building up the courage...) Hope you get your problem solved.
well try to reinstall whole software via pc ...............
but check download latest version of official rom
back up your data as ur whole system sofware will be replaced
and do format ur sd in pc ( not a quick format )
hopefully it might resolve ur issues ( otherwise it seems a hardware issue >>>>>)
and i am not responsible for any sim locking or data loss sort of problems

Basically on the latest Froyo build from HTC (2.29.405.5) if you use Unrevoked, everything will go fine until it boots out of the bootloader to the actual software. On reboot Unrevoked will say 'Waiting for system to Settle'. This will never dissappear and it will wait for the system to settle forever and ever. However becuase you are branded on Vodafone, the chances are you're not running Froyo build 2.29.405.5, but a slightly older one. This is because when HTC release an update the phone companies have to put their software onto it, the the 2.29.405.5 update was only 5Mb, barely enough for the companies to be even bothered messing around with, so chances are you WOULD be able to root anyway, thanks for commenting.

Oh I know about data loss, Sim Locking and all that, been there, done that, got the T-Shirt, I've got a Utility on my computer that will unlock my phone and as for Data Loss, Google servers have it all
I've got a bit of an update though, I know your saying it's a hardware error but I think there are two key components here that aren't working.
- The SD Card
- The SIM Card
I have come to believe this, because I managed to use the PB99IMG file to update to the latest Froyo, and now my phone is saying there is an SD in there, but stats about the SD are unavailable in my phone, and also when trying to connect to the network, my phone will not connect to Orange. If I click on Manually Select, and I click on Orange, I get a message saying SIM won't allow connection to this network, if I do it with Automatic however, it just says unable to connect to the network at this time. I'm gutted I haven't been able to fix this yet, it's really annoying me because normally I would be able to sort this, been up all night trying to do it, any help is greatly appreciated.

Possibly a problem with my Device or HBoot? Could anyone point me to the correct RRU for me to reset my phone with? I am running the latest software version with a goldcard, the card won't mount when the phone is turned on, thanks.
This is for the 2.29.405.5 RUU

*Update, I flashed this RRU, it's not working though :/
When you say not working what do you mean? More info needed!
Also, edit the 'Qualcom CDAM' thingy, that means its trying to install modem drivers - sounds you USB-bricked the phone

Yeah it won't connect in any way USB wise, and when IS ay not working, the OS works fine, connects to the network for the first 5 minutes, SD card won't mount, then after 5 minutes I get locked out of the network, and if I try and connect I get a message saying my sim won't allow connection to Orange :/ Think you can help?
I have suddenly developed a problem with my DHD. As soon as it connects the network via WCDMA/(3G) it crashes. I can use GSM without any problems. If Mobile data is enable, then that works with 'G' over icon. I have already done a restore to last April and a system reset, but neither made any difference. I have also tried different SIM and SD cards. It started by occasionally crashing with Maps running, and it got quite hot. It would be OK after 4-6 restarts, but now as soon as it tries to connect it crashes.
I am in the UK in SW and mobile coverage is very patchy. There is no 3G at home and only GSM in some rooms.
The phone is unlocked, but with S-on. I have ClockworkMod recovery running, and the system is:
Standard 2.3.5
Kernel 2.6.35.10-g931a37e (Nov 2011)
Sense 3.0
Software 3.12.405.1 with CL199157 release key
Radio 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
Any help would be appreciated. I am beggining to think it's a hardware/motherboard problem
Thanks
I think it's a rom problem

But it is the original ROM, and I get the same after a restore to 12 months ago, and a Factory Restore.
Thanks for the comment.
Factory reset sometimes is not enough.
Try flash it again.

I found this thread: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/50801-random-reboots-2/
It's supposed to be a problem with some version of GB (UK) rom.
If flashing rom, get you the same error you can try use aahk to get S-off on your device, and after that you can flash WWE ROM (it's a standard world wide rom witch allways work the best).
Here's the link of shiped roms: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ace
And if u get s-off you can use this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
In first thread that I send you some one said that it can be problem with battery. Try if u have the same problem when you charging it.
P.S.: I have remember now that my friend has the sam problem when he try to use the camera with flash on (even if battery was charged more than half), and when he raplace the battery, everything work fine.
I am a bit confused as I didn't think I needed S-Off to update ROM, provided I manually flashed the boot.img file. I have moved away from AAHK as it is no long supported if you get into trouble.
This problem is curious as it only started a week ago after a trip to Morroco, and curiously there is an identical problem report on the Vodafone forum after a trip to Morroco (see forum-dot-vodafone.co.uk/t5/HTC/WDCMA-Fatal-error-boot-loop/td-p/1605342). No solution though.
I shall have a go at a new ROM, and report the outcome.
Thanks for the help.

If you have stock ROM you can flash it only with stock rom provided with your carrier
With unlocked hboot, with S-off or with goldcard you can flash with other carrier.
In my opinion the best way is always S-off and stock rooted wwe rom.
With this solution when ever you get some problem or birck you can fix it because you have all premissions.
Unlocking hboot with HTC dev is the worst way. People report to many bugs.
About aahk, you can get when ever you want suport for it, here on this forum.
Or you can use AAHK2 by Phiber2000: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367322
Did you try with full battery and mobile phone connected to ac adapter to see if you have the same problem?
This is quick hard work - I have Window 8.1 and I can't get the PC to see the DHD in CMD/Fastboot, so I am a bit stuck. It can't enumerate the device..
HTC Sync works and I have the latest drivers etc. AAHK2 says it can see the DHD whilst it is switched on, but in the bootload, it fails.
I shall have to find a Win7 pc, as it did work when I rooted and unlocked the DHD.

I didn't think this would get so complicated!! I have fired up an old Vista PC, and updated the drivers from the AAHK2 post. They would not install - error reading transform location - so I downloaded the lastest HTC version 4.1.0.1. and used them instead.
I can run 'fastboot getvar all' on a CMD window, no problem, but...... if I try with AAHK2.cmd, it starts, and clears some old stuff, then says, NO phone connected. The phone is in bootloader/fastboot usb mode (in red). I guess its still a driver problem.
This is a dumb question, but I assume the phone should be in Bootloader mode, as I did try the script aahk2.cmd with the phone just running normally, and it did see it and proceeded to the next menu - it suggested option 'h' for HTCDev unlocked phone.

If I start it AAHK2 with phone normally on, it starts Ok, It want to download an RUU - I have already done this but maybe have put it in the right place. Should it be on the SD card somewhere (PD98IMG-Xgb.zip)?

I never use AAHK2.
I only use the AAHK but i think it isn't much difrent.
You can:
when you go in fastboot type: fastboot oem lock
boot in rom
In aahk when you first time download PD98img-GB2.zip it allways stay somwhere in first folder of unziped aahk
after you boot in rom, run aahk2 and if you relocked hboot just press "1" instead of "h".
When I get home I will download AAHK2 and open the script to see what's the difrent's between.
Same Problem!
Hi
I think i have the same problem... I got back from a trip to Morocco last week... my DHD worked fine while over there, but started rebooting as soon as i turned Airplane mode off when landing back in the UK.
It can turn on for periods, and seems very stable when i disable the radio (turning on airplane mode, or removing the SIM). I think it's crashing whenever it searches for a network (regular reboots while driving, but not when sitting at my desk). I can force a reboot by searching for a new network in the settings. Are these symptoms the same as yours?
It's a 3 year old Orange DHD, using the stock build (not rooted yet).
I'd love to know if you get any more clues to your problem.

Hi, and yes pretty much. I have found that if you set the phone to GSM only, it fixes the reboots (as does airplane mode too), and data is still received over 3G if available.
It is very curious about Morocco though. We were in Marrakech for about 5 days, and used the Maps on the phone (offline mode) a lot. I also saw another vodafone report too dated July 2013, so something is happening.
I have now managed to run AAHK2 and rooted and S-Offed the phone, so I shall be trying some other ROMs. I have tried KitKat, but in kept freezing.
Good luck.

Thanks for you patience, I have finally run the AAHK2 script, and after another couple of driver problems, and a failed flash, got it running.
The drivers are different for 2.3.5 vs 2.3.3, so that confused Vista.

Yesterday I stayed long at work so I didn't try anything. Congratulations for success with AAHK2.
If you install kitkat or any other custom rom, before installing you have to do a factory reset from recovery mode, flash new rom, flash boot.img via fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img, after that go to recovery mode: factory reset, wipe all cach, wipe dalvik, and everything you can wipe, and reboot.
After that it should work fine. But take in consideration that in all that custom rom always something don't work.
For first testing I suggest that you install stock rooted rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
And in the first post you have as well radio partition. Flash it necessarily.
P.S.: With stock rooted rom, you will not lose S-off, CWM, etc...
Hello, first timer here. I have never tried rooting or anything, but today I finally decided to... and messed it up.
Verizon Samsung Note 2 SCH-i605 (yes, still.)
Got it on July 2nd, 2013, so I believe it was build 4.1.1 kernel 3.1? Not too sure on the legalities
Completely unrooted and unmodded
I was using kingo root and everything was fine until it hit about 52% on the rooting process when my computer lost connection with my phone. Since, it gave me the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" problem. So then I google-fu'd and followed directions of:

etc.
and used Odin 3.10.7 (and 3.10.0 just in case, both on and off admin mode cause why not) on every single md5 available in all those links and the one from sammobile.com for sch-i605.
And each time, I would either received failure on "sboot.bin" or receive the "System Software Not Authorized" error if succeeded (it was stuck in bootload? too, kept flashing the logo then the error message). The VERY first time, however, it actually brought me to that page where I'm allowed to press things like erase cache, factory reset, or reboot my phone. There, I chose all those options in the order I've listed them. And ever since I haven't seen that screen again.
My issue seems to be every problem I can find put together, and can't seem to resolve it with my skills alone. I honestly don't care about recovering my data (which I believe is impossible now anyway) or rooting my phone. I just want it to turn on again.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. getting a new phone isn't an option currently
-edit-
Checked my verizon wireless software upgrade assistant for some info, and it says "Up to date" and "Version ND3" if that means anything to you pros out there.

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist. To get you the best possible assistance, I'm going to move this thread to your device's Q&A forum. Good luck!

KIES is unable to read my phone (tried the bottom 3 versions of it), and I've tried running Odin 3.07 and unchecked repartition for every stock and restore md5s I had for my phone... the ones that didn't fail sboot.bin are still giving me unauthorized error.
I'll keep trying all the combinations, but it seems moot at this point.
First things first. I surrender. I'm a noob with android. I had windows phone previously and only now came to android.
Here's the scenario:
1. My z2 force was properly rooted with magisk and twrp. I followed the guide in xda only.
2. My device was brought from India so carriers like sprint, t-mobile are not applicable I think.
What I Did:
0. Wanted to unroot my device. So, I decided to first uninstall the modules in magisk that I had installed.
1. Tried to uninstall magisk modules and rebooted from the magisk application.
2. Got into Boot loop, so went to recovery mod and wiped everything. Hard reset was done.
3. Installed magisk app again and clicked uninstall to remove root. I wanted to install the latest security update. Update kept failing so I decided to unroot. I choose uninstall completely option.
4. Rebooted the phone manually after clicking uninstall in magisk manager. Using the 'root checker' app I checked if unrooting was successful but it said, 'root was not properly installed' or something like that. So, I installed magisk manager again and again uninstalled root completely.
5. Still same issue. Root checker said the same thing again. So, installed magisk manager again and this time I wanted to remove root using ES file manager as I saw in an online guide. But I couldn't give it root permission because it was not properly installed as said by root checker. So, I decided to root my phone properly but stupid me, clicked 'install' in magisk manager and chose the recommended option (don't remember exactly what it was). It downloaded magisk zip and did some changes and asked to reboot. After rebooting, my phone went straight to the black screen with an android icon and 'no command' written below it. It kept going there again and again.
6. I assume that is the recovery mode. I press volume up and power button and choose the wipe everything again(Like I did before) to hard reset phone. Wiping was successful but it still kept booting to that black screen.
Additional Info:
1. Phone wasn't carrier version. It was bought in India. It is running Oreo 8.0.
2. In bootloader menu : (Not stating all)
BL: MBM-3.0-nash_retail-641a15b-180306
Product/Variant: nask xt1789-06 64GB PVT
Console[NULL] :null
Tools Mode Config: DISABLED
Power OK
flashing_unlocked
Software Status : Modified
Transfer Mode : USB Connected.
3. Yes, Bootloader menu is accessible.
4. Choosing recovery mode in bootloader menu reboots phone and takes me to that blank screen I mentioned before.
5. Connecting to USB to my PC when in bootloader menu, it connects as 'Fastboot nash S'. ADB terminal says no devices found.
What I want:
1. Boot into OS.
2. Remove root completely so I can install system update.
Please help or offer suggestions as I do not have a secondary device with me. If I have to absolutely go to a service center, I will.
You should flash it back to stock.
You posted that your phone is nash xt1789-06 64GB PVT, you can grab the latest firmware here.
The flashing instructions are here in post #5, and any question you might have is most likely answered in that thread.
Just download the firmware, boot into bootloader mode, and follow the instructions.
FYI in fastboot mode adb commands don't work, it's fastboot. To verify that you're connected and ready type
Code:
fastboot devices
and you should see your serial# like you do in adb.
That should put you back to stock and good to go.

Thank you for the reply. I figured it out and went ahead with it. But now, I'm not seeing the May security update. The device shows it has March update and that no other update is available. Any idea why? Also, root checker still says 'root not properly installed'. How to unroot completely? Thanks a lot!

Did you look to see if the May Security Update has been released for your specific device? When you downloaded the stock firmware did you look to see what month security patch it contained? Have you tried to perform a system update to see if you can OTA to the latest security patch?
Now, if you completely flashed back to stock then root is removed. Root checker says that because root access is not installed at all. Flashing back to stock removes any trace of root, IIRC.

Don't forget, if you followed the flashing instructions from the other post they were omitting the gpt.bin and bootloader. So if you didn't flash those then that's why you're probably not seeing any updates, you need to be on full stock all matched up. Just reflash the firmware you downloaded in its entirety. @fast69mopar is right, once you flash a new boot.img root is gone, and since you flashed back to stock it's definitely gone.

If you flash with factory image you should be unroot completely and root checker will keep telling you "root not properly installed" if you are not rooted just ignore root checker if you not planning to be rooted.
Hi there I have a xt1789-06 I was not getting updates and flashed the first Oreo update from here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/official/RETAIL/
My phone now does the updates and everything works fine.
However I did try to flash a custom ROM and root I made a mistake and ended up both a hard brick, because I was on Oreo I thought that flashing the Oreo blank flash would rectify the problem, but it was not working so I tried flashing the N blank flash and it worked.
I've come from using Samsung phones so I'm use to Odin and have not used fastboot commands. After reading many threads I know what I had done was not decrypting my device which ended up with a hard brick I will in the future flash a custom ROM now I know a little bit more.
Blank flash files are here
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/blankflash/
Then once back to fastboot flash the flash all from the link at the top of my post.

Hi, sorry I was busy with work. I managed to use my phone that way. I didn't use the instructions in that post. Instead, I download flashallutilities (In how to return to stock post in xda for z2 force), then ran the batch file which did all the work. I noticed other problems too,
1. My Jio sim(4g LTE) does not show 'enhanced LTE mode' in options. Also when I call someone, it fails immediately saying 'call failed. try another method.' However, internet connection works from the sim. My other sim works fine for calls and data.
2. I'm seeing other keyboards in manage keyboards section. I don't recall seeing google pinyin input, zhuyin input, etc before. What's worse is my office's app shows option to switch to chinese version of the website for logging in. My language and time zone are set correctly though - English India and GMT +5:30.
3. The web browser I used before couldn't be found in the play store anymore. My launcher still shows the icon with a green arrow in left bottom of the icon to direct me to playstore to download it but playstore says item not found. The app name is simply 'browser'. I searched for it on desktop website too (without logging in), still couldn't find it. Guess it's a coincidence,
Also: Herehttps://www.getdroidtips.com/moto-z2-z2-play-z2-force-stock-rom/#Moto_Z2_Force_Android_80_Oreo_Firmware, the carrier global version says 'OCX' instead of 'OPX'. Any idead about that?

Your Z2 is a xt1789-06 correct? It's an international version, the flashall in the utilities zip from the return to stock thread is for US based phones, TMO and Sprint specifically. What was or wasn't flashed using that flashall I couldn't tell you, I don't have an international phone. That's why I linked to the post that deals with that version of the Z2 and has all the answers and links you need to sort your phone. Others in that thread might be better suited to help you along. This is the thread that deals with the xt1789-06.
As for calling and sim, might be related to how you flashed or simply an apn issue. You can go to network settings, mobile, access point names, and reset those to default. That should pull the apns from your sim so you'll have the correct apns.
As for keyboards and browsers, I don't know what is included in the international stock versions, but they are subject to change based on initial setup/default language and rom version. As for the OCX vs OPX, I'm not sure what the difference is. I know 'O' is for Oreo but for the rest I don't know. Maybe one is gsm one is cdma? I don't know. I do know that the thread I linked to will have more info and be able to help you better since it's for your version of the Z2. Sorry I can't help you more, but post any questions you have over there and they should be able to sort you out.
Hello everyone, I decided to root my phone today. First I enabled OEM unlock and then installed TWRP, no problems with that. Then I tried to install CF autoroot through recovery and everything seemed fine. When I tried to boot up my phone it said something like integrity check failed and I had to do a factory reset to be able to even start the phone. I did not do that but tried to install official samsung oreo firmware through odin but it won't install, just fails. Then i got other error message saying "an error occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". The only thing I can do now is enter download mode and nothing else but odin does not let me flash anything. I'm desperate here so any suggestion would be great. Model is SM A-320FL btw. Sorry for my english and lengthy post

What kind of error do you get in Odin?
Is it the one that says something like "SW Rev. check fail"?
If so than for me it worked to flash the bootloader and modem of Oreo and the after that i reinstalled the OS without any problems.
First it was just a red fail for BL, CSC and those other things and later it just won't even start. When I try to install TWRP it goes to half and stays there. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Was your device from a carrier, if so, try to flash the firmware that your device came with. If you can't solve this, PM me, so that we can try to resolve this on Telegram, Discord etc. :highfive:

Thank you for the reply, I don't think it was from carrier, when I tried to flash firmware I downloaded latest firmware from my current carrier so I think that shouldn't be a problem. I'll contact you tomorrow because i'm just too tired now. And update, I can flash TWRP now if that is of any help.
It is solved now, thanks everyone for your help

Hi. Glad to see you got this sorted, but it may be useful for other users to see what you did to resolve this.
Yes, how did you solved that.
Looking at two A320F I found one difference:
One has AP SWREV B:2 K:0 S:0
the other one (that makes trouble): AP SWREV B:3 K:1 S:1
What exactly does it mean.
Flashing with Odin gave me erros (on device, Odin just say "failed") depending on flashing BL (SW Rev Check failed )Bootlader Device: 3, binary: 2 , while flashing AP gives Kernel Rev check fail.
So, how to go on? I was able to flash TWRP, but not Stock (neither an old 6.0 nor 8.0).
Ok, solved it. Flashing stock will probably only work to same or newer versions, not for downgrade (at least not without any special tricks that I don't know).
After downloading the latest stock FW , odin passed.
Now I still have the problem, that I can't transfer data partion from one A3 to another one.

My first error was that I downloaded wrong firmware for my phone and because of that odin gave me errors. Second error was that I tried to wipe data through advanced wipe, but I needed to format it by pressing format data button. After doing that I was able to flash official stock ROM, install TWRP and root my phone. User MartinYTCZ helped me greatly with this, big thanks to him again. :victory:

Can't you backup your internal storage on PC or SD card, contacts, messages, phone calls, settings on samsung account and apps and data with titanium backup? When I flashed stock ROM I lost all data from my phone so be careful with that.
