And why don't you boot into fastboot with back + power button?

And remember one thing: If your phone still reacts, it's not bricked.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
bricked is so over used.... you can access fastboot?? So what have you tried to fix the problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizdel:
It all satrted when i backed up my rom with nandriod and then tried to flash a wifi n kernel, i then got boot loop, i then removed the battery and got to into recovery to flash backup only to realise that i could access my sd card. i then tried to flash back to my stock ruu without changing my hboot partitons (big mistake) thats when i could access any options on my bootloader, all it says is alpharev cm7 r2, radio and kernel, under all that where it should have fastboot recovery so on all it says is ruu. then when i plug usb cable in i get black screen with white htc and triangles in all 4 corners with exclamation marks in them.

i tried this usb brick by the professor guessing thats the problem, i have no idea what the correct terminology for what has happened is so i'm guessing after numerous google searches that its a usb brick. I generated my mtd0.img with the cid generator and move the mtd0.img and flash image to sdcard, but got stuck after that.

I hope this all makes sense to someone and you can help me through this.

Thanks very much guys

Was ROM manager involved in any way?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizdel:
No rom manager involved.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iain2510:
The screen with the exclamation marks is fastboot-if you connect with your USB cable you should be able to enter fastboot commands with your PC.

You need to flash a ROM suitable for your hboot using fastboot commands.

You may also have overwritten your recovery partition which can be reflashed with fastboot.

I've only done the above a couple of times so may be wrong!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ok.

Well going back to what BigMrB asked, can you boot into fast boot still? (Back + power from off)?

If you can, then check if when you plug in the USB cable, it changes to "Fastboot USB" please
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapooravi:
Hey if you had taken backup of your rom then go to recovery by pressing volume down and power button then select recovery there go to back and restore and restore to the backup you had taken. Even i get my device not working while flashing new things there is nothing to worry you can always do the same.

Hope this helps you
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sorry I didnt see your post. Fastboot should be white screen, but if he uses back and Power and gets the exclamations, it can still be used as fastboot.

What I am concerned about is the screen says "RUU" on it which sounds like a RUU was used and failed at some point (edit, yes OP said that)

A RUU would fail if he has CM7 Hboot.

I would personally recommend flashing the downgrader hboot via fastboot and then completing whatever RUU process was started.

I would also recommend people askign questions before jumping in and trying anythign they can to fix their issues, or guessing what issue they have ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
Does he have to run the downgrader? Thought he could just flash a different hboot but i might be wrong...

Can you not just flash recovery again and just restore the nandroid? If not i would THEN use the RUU and start from fresh
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
He doesn't have to, he can flash a stock hboot, then flash recovery and a rom, but Id rather he RUU, which would require the downgrader
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizdel:
I get the black screen with the exclamations which can be used as fastboot.

How do i go about downgrading my hboot? will it revert my phone back to stock with the stock partitions?

thanks guys
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Either download the adnroid flasher from the desire dev forum here, or follow my fastboot faq in my signature to do it manually. Download the downgrader from alpharev.nl (Redeirects sometimes to revolutionary.io so may have to click the alpharev link once redirected to the revolutionary page) and flash it.

It willput your phone in a state where a RUU will work woth the stock partitions but shouldnt be used as a hboot in iots own right so if you decide not to RUU, you would be better just flashing the stock hboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
I'd recommend learning some basic fastboot commands regardless of which option you take.... They come in handy for situations just like this one ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
+1, its always good to understand a bit of what you are doing. Some of my other faq's may be helpful too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizdel:
i flashed downgrader to my hboot and now it says rebooting and nothing is happening. how long do i wait or do i have to flash stock ruu now?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
How did you flash it? It should just say:

writing....

done

If you used fastboot flash hboot blahblahblah.img
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizdel:
i used android flasher and attached downgrader to flasher at hit begin
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well if its still in the same state, there's not a lot you can do but pull power
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizdel:
where do i put the downgrade.img to access it from cmd fastboot?

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

problem solved, sh#t i'm a dumbass, i renamed the file bravo_downgrade.img on the folder instead of on the fastboot command. Thank you guys.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
wherever you want, you just need to put the path in. Say its on your desktop, on windows 7 and your username is admin:

fastboot flash hboot c:\users\admin\desktop\downgrade.img
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyx_:
Hi.

I'm facing a "hard to solve" issue with my Atrix 4G...

It is a non-ATT (international). Using RSD Lite, I flashed the Retail SBF and it worked OK, battery life was "normal" and the phone was cold most of time.

I then unlocked the bootloader flashing the IHOP SBF then using moto_fastboot method. Installed Clockworkmod Recovery and flashed the HomeBase rom with the updates.

What happen is: The phone starts to get very warm and the battery is drained very quickly (couple of hours).

Using the SetCPU, I could verify that the CPU does not scale down automatically. It's always at 1300Mhz, it doesn't matter if the phone is idle or not.

I can reduce the CPU speed using the SetCPU but the processor is with the two cores active all the time and it never reduces the speed below the limit set in SetCPU.

I thought it may be a problem with my phone, so I flashed the retail SBF again and I could verify that, bakc with the retail rom, CPU is scaling down correctly. It goes up to 1000Mhz when requested but stays ~300Mhz when phone is idle.

I did the BL unlock/motofastboot/clockwordmod/ procedure again and tried with different roms (Aura, Alien, RedPill, etc) always cleaning up the Cache/UserData/Dalvik and using the faux 1.3Ghz unified kernel but got no result, on every 2.3.4 rom I flash, the CPU is always at the maximum speed set by the kernel or limited by the SetCPU.

I've found a similar problem on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1190634. and did the same investigation but I was not able to identify any aplication that is making the CPU usage to be constantly high (even tried killing all Apps, not result).

Any ideas what I can do/try to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot.

For me turning off the phone and back on worked, if not for you then try wiping the usual stuff before reflashing a rom or back up
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frelnik:
Feom what I've seen, this is often caused by the webtop. Most ROMs don't touch the webtop, and it seems for some people, this causes problems. I fixed my issue by installing a ROM that (I believe) wiped the webtop. That ROM was deprecated a long time ago so I don't know if it's still available. I'd take a look at the Developer forum. There are some webtop files you can download that reportedly fix the issue. You might also try using fastboot to erase the webtop.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyx_:
@vibrantuser

Thanks. Yes, I tried flashing and re-flashing couple of times, no luck whatsoever...

@Ilkinansr92

Thanks for the tip. Will try that and see how it goes.

@ronii1123

Will try that this weekend I'll report about progress.

@frelnik

Thanks for the tip. It makes sense as the retail SBF re-flashed the Webtop area and all roms I tried doesn't touch it. I'll try to get a webtop image and flash it using the fastboot or the CWM method. If you can point a link to any that may work, I'll really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
quoted from Faux himself, there's a bug in his kernel that prevents us from underclocking it. should be fixed in the next release.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frelnik:
That's a separate problem, I think. My understanding is that the OP's issue is the CPU is always running at the maximum speed. It never clocks down to the slower speeds when idle. The issue with Faux's kernel and SetCPU is that no matter how you set it, when stressed, the CPU runs at the maximum speed the kernel is capable of, not the speed you set in the app. The CPU does clock down when idle, but will ramp up to 1.3 GHz even if you set it to only 1 GHz in SetCPU. I've experienced both issues.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrane1981:
You have to set it at 800 mhz for it to stick. For some reason setcpu only recognizes under clocking under 1 GHz, otherwise it presumes that it's running at the 1 GHz stock speed without registering the overclock, therefore thinking the stock is 1.3 GHz! I'm not sure but I would have a guess and say that it's something to do with the unchangeable governors? Hope this makes sense lol

[SOLVED] CPU not Stepping Down - Warm Phone

Hey freinik.

I cleaned up the webtop and reflashed the Home Base rom I was using.

Perfect! :D

CPU is now scaling correctly. Your suggestions was exactly what was needed.

After cleaning the webtop (using the fastboot erase webtop) the issue was solved.

Thanks a lot. ;)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyx_:
@ultim

Hi, Thanks for asking.

I erased my webtop using the moto fastboot command line, you can get it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138092&highlight=fastboot

After installing, reboot you phone and enter the "fastboot" mode (holding volume down until the "fastboot" text appears, then press volume up.

Once on fastboot mode, connect your phone to the USB port and run:

moto_fastboot erase webtop

It should erase your webtop partition.

It normaly helps to clean the cache/data, you can do that by running:

moto_fastboot -w

You can then, reboot the phone.

moto_fastboot reboot

If you're using Linux, moto_fastboot should be run as superuser, you can do that by using sudo, ie. sudo moto_fastboot reboot.

Hope this helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultim:
@Nyx_ Thank you for the instructions. My battery life is so much better now. Before application 'X' (i assume its webtop) would use about a third of my battery all the time.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paravorheim:
Thanks for this. I recently discovered the same thing was happening to my phone and deduced that the webtop was causing this. I was using faux's newest kernel. I then related the stock kennel and everything was file after that, no cleaning of the webtop was needed.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] syde1020:
I was a Inc 1 user and asked a few times for this but it was like no one understood what i was asking for. i was wondering if its possible or if a developer would take the challenge of altering the stock sms/mms apk so that a preview of the message doesnt show up in the notification bar. I know Go SMS and Handcent have the option of showing "new message recieved" instead of showing the text contents in a privacy setting but i would like to keep the stock messaging app. puhlease someone. it would be greatly appreciated....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
not so sure what u mean, or if it's possible, why not try handcent or go sms? I know u want stock, but may be the only way,
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Avelnan:
If you go under Settings>Privacy, it gives you 1 or 2 options. I'm not so sure since I'm using newtoroot's Sense 3.5 ROM and that may or may not be different from what you're using. (yes, I'm advertising a Rom, and yes, you should totally go for this rom.)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
Handcent SMS does this. You can disable the preview per contact or just in general. You would disable the notifications in your normal SMS app and then set it so that Handcent is the only app that does notifications for SMS and if you disable the preview feature, it will just say "XXX-XXX-XXXX text you" or something like that
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] syde1020:
I've used handcent and am currently go sms. Was just curious if there was a way to do it for the stock. Guess it cant be done. :(
