Hi all,

Im having a little trouble with my dhd. It won't boot up ! :(

I can get into HBOOT, but thats it. (ie. no recovery CWM)

When trying to boot normally it hangs at spash screen.

so far i have tried:

- fastboot flashing (system.img dosn't flash (for known reasons))

- this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841890) (tried with 2 different RUUs)

everything seemed to go according to plan, but still exactly the same problem.

- I've even tried flashing back the stock spash screen via fastboot in preperation to send it back to tmobile/htc to fix BUT, despite fastboot telling me flashing was succsessful, i still have my custom splash!

- pulling my hair out!

ive got eng hboot s-off radio s-off supercid and stuff?? :confused::p

my hboot info screen looks like this:

Which cw recovery is installed?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
First question, what did you do immediately before you turned you DHD off, hence the reboot?

From the bootloader can you enter fastboot? You should be able to flash recovery from there. You mention "for known reasons" what are these?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason9:
Hi pwraggcan,

I'm not too sure? and I'm not sure how I can check either, as I can only enter hboot/fastboot.

AndyHarney,

As far as I can remember I was using my phone as normal. (no risky installs/flashes to speak of). Then overnight it ran out of battery, and now won't boot up .. ?

fastboot flash system system.img returns:

sending 'system' (410134 KB)... FAILED (remote: data length is too large)

finished. total time: 0.006s

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img returns:

sending 'recovery' (8701 KB)... OKAY [ 1.494s]

writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.837s]

finished. total time: 2.331s

but when I choose 'RECOVERY' form hboot menu it still hangs on splash.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrYuiM:
So you have recovery, and you're rooted, well I'd say install a ROM as ROMS flash system, boot and cache img files. Sending a 410mb file ofver adb seems a bit risky. Also, if you have no ROMs on the SD Card go into recovery, mounts and storage and at the bottom is usb or something. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason9:
MrYuiM,

I don't mean to act the fool, but I don't fully understand you're post.

"well I'd say install a ROM as ROMS flash system, boot and cache img files"

not sure how I can go about doing this? using fastboot?

"Also, if you have no ROMs on the SD Card go into recovery"

which ROMs do you mean? I have on my sdcard "LeeDrOiD_HD_V1.5.1.zip" and others. I also have some nandroid backups.

Currently, I have not found a way to enter recovery..

P.S I apologize for spewing my ignorance all over this thread.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Get PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade guide, put it into your SD card and go to the bootloader. Then tell us what what happens.

By the way, you still have fully warranty despite the fact that your device has S-OFF. There is nothing about software mods in warranty terms. For example mike1986 sent his phone to HTC's service center, it was S-OFF and it even had a custom ROM in it, and they did not complain.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrYuiM:
o.O When I asked HTC they were pretty stern on the fact that rooting voids their warranty despite it not being in the guidelines :/
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrYuiM:
To enter recovery turn your phone off completely and plug it into the charger, recovery will auto open. Also, everyone starts off somewhere.

But go with jkoljo first as he is more experienced :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason9:
Hi jkoljo,

Downloading now,

It's also a big relief to hear that software modding dosn't effect warrenty :) *phew*
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrYuiM:
Good luck mate, report back on how it goes :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Might be futile but you could try a different recovery. If you're s off it should work. Try a 2.x.x.x then a 3.x.x.x. flashing from fastboot, it could be that. If the pd98img doesn't work then it might be a faulty motherboard and htc will have to fix it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason9:
I tried jkoljo advice, but still no dice! ... (hey that rhymes!)

One thing I noticed as it was checking SD card: -

SD Checking...

Loading...[PD98DIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PD98DIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Loading...[PD98IMG.zip]

are those errors normal?!

just to clarify, after jkoljo's PD98IMG.zip update, I reboot and it hangs at my custom spash screen, just as before.

It's as if I hadn't tried to update/recover at all!

Anyways, Thankyou all for your help, assistance and advice.

I have to go out now, but ill be back tomorrow to try again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
It seems that you have to format your SD card. Do a full format to FAT32 (no quick format), and try it again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason9:
Ok, formatted and tried again.

But same results as my last post.

I even tried with 2 SD's (4gb + 8gb).

Does this mean my phone is not recoverable..?

....I hope not..:(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
oopes, delete this post please
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason9:
Could you recommend one?

The only one I've ever known is CWM.

Also I don't have much faith in fastboot right now.

When I flashed my stock splash, it said 'OK' but never changed!

Thanks pwraggcan
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Try flashing a different recovery while in fastboot.. Try the stock one first and if you can boot into recovery wipe data/factory reset.

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

recovery zip attached. good luck.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason9:
Thanks for the suggestion pwraggcan,

I tried that recovery.. and it flashed 'OK' but still no change from my previous attempts.

Soo... Shall I call this a write-off and let HTC deal with it..

Or are there any last ditch solutions I could be trying.

Jason9
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
As a last resort try the attached recovery. If this recovery doesn't work it's gotta be a hardware issue. I'm thinking if you backed up with a 2 series cw recovery then updated the recovery with rom manager to a 3 series cw recovery it won't let restore the backup. So, try the attached and fingers crossed, you're up and running. Probably won't sort it but definitely worth a try.
[Nook Color General] TLJester:
I want to do a full wipe of all data when going from ROM to ROM installing to EMMC.

So far each time I install, some files are left over in one or other area.

I have yet to find a complete answer/quide on how to go about completely cleaning everything before installing a new ROM?

(Ideally the equivalent of formating and partitioning before installing Windows...)

At the moment I am cautious to try the WIPES and FACTORY RESET options in CWM as I have not found a solid answer as to what they do here.

(Is CWM the way to go here?)

Thanks for any help

Let me see if I understand this correctly, you're saying you manually format each partition under CWR and are sketched about using the factory reset function? Ive both wiped and flashed between various emmc based roms as well as EXT4 based roms to the (EXT2?) based roms without a problem. Each time I use the correct CWR and manually format /system, /data, and /cache. If i'm understanding your question correctly then I hope this helps. It may not be the fix you're looking for but it works.
[Nook Color General] TLJester:
yeah - thanks, i think that is pretty much what i am after.

What is the difference between factory reset/wipe and formating the system/data partitions?

Is there anything on the boot partition that might get left over?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masroorkhan:
Hi,

I have a T-Mobile G2, original ROM. An hour ago, a very weird thing happened. Out of blue I picked up my phone to find a contact and I was stunned to see no display. The bottom panel/button lights were on, but there was no display. I only pressed power button to bring it out of standby. No liquid was spilled, no shock observed. I was just lying on tabletop.

I took out the battery and tried booting again (like WM sets), but no success. I can receive calls, apparently I can dial my last dialed number, I probably will be able to dial from the keyboard.

Anyone else how experienced something similar. I know the ultimate act would be to replace the LCD, but am just wondering if anyone else had observed this behavior and countered it without replacing the LCD?

Oh yeah, there is no warranty.

Please help.

Thanks,

MAK

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masroorkhan:
I searched other forums and seems like I am not the only one with this problem. All they suggested was to take out the battery, mem card, sim and leave it for a while and when it put everything back in, the display was working fine again. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me, not even restoring factory default, not to mention going through that painful "shooting in dark" process.

I am already aware that if all things fail, LCD has to be replaced. Other than that if anyone has any other suggestion(s), it'd be much appreciated. Otherwise thanks anyways ;)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sactownsav:
Ok, so I got my AWS dell streak (with the bands for T-Mobile 3G) and I absolutely LOVE it. Im coming from a mytouch 4g, so while I enjoy huge screen, there are some things that just dont work the same.... Im not new at all to android, but I am a staight up noob when it comes to the streak (dell products in general) I was hoping you experts could point me in the right direction.

To start the phone came with 2.2.2 out of the box. I installed clockworkmod recovery, and flashed streakdroid 1.8.1 Very stable and fast. However I cant figure out some little stuff, and im sure its easy I just dont know where to look.

1. Lockscreen is stuck in landscape. I installed adw ex to flip back and forth from my homescreen, but my lockscreen is always in landscape....is there a simple way to force it back to portrait? I dont need all the fancy unlock widget crap, just protrait lol.

2. Some games (gangstar 2) will only play on a tiny potion of my screen...If I wanted a small screen I wouldve kept my Mytouch 4G!... I tried the compadibility mode in spare parts but that didnt help.

3. Obviously some gameloft games wont work yet as said in the streakdroid thread. Is there alist of which ones work and which ones dont? Also if we install sd files ourselves instead of downloading them is there a way to "patch" them to work?" Ive seen different "packages" for different devices ex. sammy tab, nexus s, and desire will all have different sd card data.... is there one that would work with our device?

4. Notification LED app worh it? Just need some opinions, I miss the leds blinking lol.

5. Im also interested to see what settings you all use in your "install.txt" for streakdroid. Also wondering if Perfmod made your phone not as stable. Would perfmod help out performance on some games? Or not worth the trouble?

6. What kind of cases do you all use for your streak? I just ordered the otterbox commuter, it does seem kinda bulky on a phone thats not small already lol.... I assume I wont be using this as my mp3 player while I work out

7. What video chat program do you guys use. I dont like that oovoo requires you to be "signed in" at all times to get a video call...I liked Tango and Qik on the Mytouch, but they are not working yet. They have found a workaround for the mytouch, Im curious if this would fix our FFC issues as well..

Would this work?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=975502

8. On my Mytouch 4G (CM7) there was an option under settings>applications that would let me hold the back button to kill the current running application. I enjoy using that over a task manager, is there a way to do that with our Streak?

There are probaby a few other dumb questions that I cant recall right now. Anyway, thanks for the input....this is my new baby haha
