[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
Hi all,

I think I killed my desire. It was on three network and I managed to root it and installed Oxygen. I used the phone for about one week before I started having withdrawal symptoms in hot having the sense UI. Okay call me whatever you like but I like that UI.

Now for the problem…. I wanted to put a stock rom on it again and read a lot before doing that.

Downloaded an unbranded RUU that didn’t want to load because of the Customer ID being wrong. Read a bit more and found that I had to go back to the three ROM instead. Okay downloaded that and all seemed fine the phone was being flashed. After a minute or so the process stopped with an error message that something wasn’t right with the bootloader.

Not being able to find anything related to this kind of problem I ended up taking the battery of the phone and now all is black. I cannot get anything to work on it. Nothing happens when I hold down the volume – key plus power.

My PC still sees the phone as My Android in the device manager.

When removing the battery and putting it back in and pressing the power button the phone vibrates but nothing else. Not even the LED is lit when connected to the PC via USB cable.

Is this a lost case?

Please help

Regards

PS I have tried all mentioned on this post but I cannot the adb command to find my device:confused:

Did u flash a different hboot and is it s-off
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copernicus666:
A similar thing happened with an x10mini had. All I did was fromwhere you are now,black screen etc, was flash the ruu and now my GF uses that phone good luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
Hi yes it was S-off as I had to put it in that state otherwise I couldn't flash Oxygen it would let me.

About different Hboot I have no idea, The problem is that I cannot get anything out of the phone. maybe I'm doing something wrong? The phone now as I left the battery out the whole night it started charging again. well... the orange light comes on when connecting it to the PC, but screen still all dark, but as soon as I press the power-on button it's gone and stays off.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
Hi that's good news but how did you flash the phone in that state? everytime I try the RUU exe doesn't find the phone. And yes I still have a goldcard for this phone if that's of any help?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
If you've got a goldcard, try flashing the WWE RUU in fastboot mode.

The RUU you want is 2.29.405.2 or 2.29.405.5.

To get into fastboot - power and back key.

EDIT - which RUU have you tried? Sounds like it was a very old one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
Hi thanks for your reply

RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.20.771.3_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_124822.exe

RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe

one of these two. But my fear is that it hasn't finished to flash it till the end or if it did I had that error message.

Ho do I know that it is in that mode? is there anything or the PC I can through at it to acknowledge that mode?

Or is it only when I trying to flash the RUU?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
When you are in fastboot mode, you have a white screen with three androids at the bottom. Beside some other informations you should see the word "FASTBOOT" in red highlighted letters.

Why did you posted these two old ruus? Is h3g your provider? The latest ruu by htc can be downloaded here:

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe

Download this ruu, boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect your phone to your computer. Instead of "FASTBOOT" you should see "FASTBOOT USB". Then run the downloaded ruu on your computer and follow the instrucions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
yep just tried it again.

I start the RUU exe the later of the two you recommended and it doesn't find the phone error 170.

Still no joy. nevertheless the PC does do the usual sound when a USB device is connected as soon as I press the power and back button.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
sorry mate I don't think you understood my situation! I don't see anything on my screen. it is all black!!!

the two RUUs I posted are the ones I found for the 3 network that's what I thought these were? I have the latest RUU but it doesn't find the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Installed all drivers correctly:

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Is htc sync installed?

If yes, uninstall ONLY htc sync software (NOT the drivers).

Now reboot your computer.

If not, install it. Then follow the steps for "if yes,...".

After rebooting is finished, try to flash the ruu again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
thanks again trying it now....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
hummm still nothing this is what I do

- remove the battery

- unplug the SUB cable

- I already had those drivers installed. My device manager shows under the Android Phone: Android bootloader interface (is this what I should have?)

- put the battery back in and plug the cable

- press the back button and whilst that press the power-on until windows goes ding-dong....

- run the RUU and tick the boxes and hit next twice and the RUU launches adb.exe (I can see this in the windows task manager...

- the RUU exe eventually gives up

any mistakes?

EDIT I uninstalled HTC sync as recommended but not HTC BMP USB Driver and not HTC Driver Installer
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
if I do fastboot devices from the command line it odesn't find my desire. on the other hand if I put my wife's in fastboot the fastboot command does find it. I guess there is everything fine with the drivers and software on my PC. it must be the phone that has been left in a state that is unrecoverable. Any further tips or tricks or should I just for get about and and sell it as for spares?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
if I follow the fastboot screen on my wife's Desire and press the volume rocker to go to recovery and press the power button the phone vibrates and the PC shows it as My HTC instead of the Android Bootloader interface. it looks like in the back ground is all there but why isn't the phone recognised?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
Not sure if this means anything or can help but as I put the phone into recovery mode ADB can now see it. doing adb devices I can see an alphanumerical value followed by recovery

what can I do from here?running the RUU rom does still not do anything in this mode.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chiller89:
Sounds to me like you may have SLCD brick, is your desire slcd?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
As above. It seems like you've flashed an old ruu for an amoled phone.

Try flashing the WWE RUU using the PB99IMG.zip method perhaps. A quick search should find some posts about what to do :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervidel:
Hi Chaps

I'm still confused. okay I extracted the rom and renamed it. I did this from the RUU that wasn't my original one. I guess this is still wrong right? But having the PB99IMG.zip file on the goldcard root should do the trick or does this only work with the original RUU ROM? I have downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_H3G_UK_2.25.771.1_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_149217_signed

should I use this ROM instead?

and how to I flash the phone now? Please remember that I cannot see anything on screen.

Do I hold down vol down and press power? do I need to do anything else?

what is the exact sequence of buttons as I cannot see what I'm doing.

Does the battery also need to be above a certain charge for this to work? again I wouldn't see any error messages!

thanks

Hi,

I set custom ringtones for my contacts and contact groups, but always only the default ringtone rings. If I check the contact preferences, the cusom ring tone is associated. But it is ignored. What might be wrong? Does it work for you?

My ROM is CM 7.1 RC1.
[Defy Android Development] scottie1973:
i had the same problem and asked in the cm7 thread..install the nightly build updates it fixes that problem
[Defy Android Development] Khrushy:
The other thing I found worked was to place all your custom ringtones onto the phone memory, rather than keeping them on the SDcard (using rootexplorer or whatever). Then it didn't seem to skip over them.

By miskate, I put on oden the file pit of galaxy 1 instead of 2.

Now my galaxy 2 is dead!!!!

I tried all posibilities even resistances 300K and all failed!

Please advise.:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] alesscam:
you can go to download mode?
[Galaxy S II General] JupiterdroidXDA:
If you cant get into download mode you will need a Jig;)
[Galaxy S II General] dskeik:
It would never go to download mode!
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
USB recovery Jig .

Or to the i never read the instructions phone graveyard .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] black_impact:
i've read it in another forum too.

there the user sent his device simply back to the seller and gave the blame to kies and an mistaken fw-upgrading.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Possible but its equally possible that they charge for repairs .No way Kies will install SGS1 firmware .

If OP cannot fix by the normal methods then its worth a shot at service centre .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] black_impact:
as I've read in another forum, this leads to a hardware problem, so even the battery is broken.

Samsung knows how bad kies is, so they do not control it in detail.

they try to flash a new rom and when this fails,they send you an new phone.

in worst case, they send you the phone back, not even more.
[Galaxy S II General] alesscam:
OP has wrote:

"I tried all posibilities even resistances 300K and all failed!"

.....should be Jig
[Galaxy S II General] aalna:
If not jig, goodluck bro :(
[Galaxy S II General] Slick_42:
Here is your problem. It needs to be an 301K resistor.

I ve read that the 301k resistance would not work with galaxy S II!

I am sure there is still a hope:confused: or solution for the latest samsung technology other than the JIG!!
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
And this is why you never use a pit or tick repartition.

Get a jig, get into download mode, put a sgs2 pit(repetition) and firmware in.

If the jig won't work, sent it back and hope they don't charge you.
[Galaxy S II General] dskeik:
USB Jig

What is the technical aspect of the jig?

Hiw it is working?
[Galaxy S II General] micila:
It's just a usb plug with a 301k resistor between pin 4 and pin 5
[Galaxy S II General] dskeik:
USB JIG

Thanks so much.

I have did this manually and locally but didn't work on my Galaxy S 2!!

I am afraid when I buy this would also nit work!
[Galaxy S II General] connexion2005:
The phone will be hard bricked with an incorrect PIT file. The good news is I am capable of fixing this if needed. I'm also much faster and simpler to work with than a Samsung Centre... :). MOD's I'm simply trying to let the OP know an option if needed... ;)

EDIT. Pm me if you need help...
[Galaxy S II General] hbkmog:
Man, why don't you make a tutorial of how to do this instead of making bucks over other people's loss?
[Galaxy S II General] Krooked22:
Um......because its a service he offers, why not profit????? But yes, a tutorial would be helpful
[Galaxy S II General] connexion2005:
You clearly don't know the skill involved nor have you seen what my channel is all about. Why do we even go to a doctor? Someone should show me how to do my own surgery... :) Also you clearly are not aware that the service is offered about 1/4 of the price that the hardware involved costs. PLUS that only worth it if you can solder to something .1mm in size to begin with.
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
Possible he has a JTAG box which is quite expensive http://www.jtagbox.com , and want to offset its cost charging a few reasonable quid for the repair. Nothing wrong with that, if the OP cannot just follow a tutorial himself to solve the problem without the equipment. If the OP doesn't want to spend 5 euros on a jig, he certainly is not looking forward to spend hundreds of them on a JTAG box.

[Galaxy S II General] unrealtb:
Please post his method of recovery for all to read on here... No time for ppl trying to make money of the sick and weak among us.
[Galaxy S II General] David Roosendaal:
I think he mentioned the method already.

It is soldering a JTAG connector in the phone, which allows to read/write all the memory in the device directly.

The equipment is expensive, and the work is for a specialist.

So don't bash the guy for offering.

Or do you also go to your car dealer complaining they should explain to you what to do and to lend them you their equipment and tools?

Didn't think so.
[Galaxy S II General] connexion2005:
Thank you for understanding. This is not an easy feat guys and that's why it's offered as a service. With your logic, a cell phone repair shop wouldn't exist at all or neither would any other repair business. :)
[Galaxy S II General] unrealtb:
You are right i do not believe in phone repair shops either.

Why didn't u reply my query?
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
I havent used his services, but i know a few that have from the galaxy tab section, and they all recommended his services.
[Galaxy S II General] Major_Sarcasm:
If the OP is dumb enough to have bricked his S2 in the way he states, he deserves to have to pay for a service.

connexion2005 has paid for equipment and learned specific skills for de-bricking these devices. Why should he not charge for such a service. I wonder what you do for a living; do you charge others for your services? If not, how do you feed your family? Or perhaps you're a schoolboy, sat in his room with no knowledge of the real world or how it works.
[Galaxy S II General] unrealtb:
I hate the economy...
[Galaxy S II General] dskeik:
I agree.

At least they give more care.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] registerfun:
Dear all,

my N1 is now in 2.3.4.

I wanna root it without dealing with the bootloader.

I searched some related posts here and found that I've to firstly downgrade my N1 to 2.3.3 by getting into the recovery mode by pressing Vol Down + Power buttons to power on the phone (is it called "recovery mode"?)

Yet my power button has been broken.

I then tried to get into the recovery mode with ADB in my PC with the following command: "adb reboot recovery"

My N1 then started to reboot and it finally freezed at a screen with an android robot with a caution sign nearby.

Q1)

So have I done anything wrong to get into the mode which is supposed to be gotten into by pressing Vol Down + Power buttons?

Q2)

What should I do to downgrade my N1 and finally root it?

Thanks a lot!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You should read the Wiki and follow Unroot/Restore guide, PASSIMG method.

But without a functional power button, you can't do it.

Moreover, without a functional power button you can't unlock the bootloader either.

So, actually, you can't do a thing until you fix your power button.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
You can do the passimg without a working power button, because you use volume up to confirm...

Fixing the power button is smart though!

When u mean ur desire connects perfectly do u mean in hboot mode or just mount SD card in android. Also on the broken phone boot in to fastboot and plug it in then check if you have the fastboot drivers installed. To do this just look in the device manager for something like android 1.0

Any mac help would be greatly appreciated on how to install Overcome on Mac.
