Help Required

I have a HTC Desire (PB99200) which is unlocked that I got from Vodaphone UK that has finally crashed.

I have followed the instructions on page 1 but still get the blank screen with 4 ! in each corner.

I think I mucked it up at first flashing the wrong image at first but i'm unable to change.

I have attached the error.

I believe I'm doing something stupid or the phone is knackered.

My friend has a desire but its running CyanogenMod. Will the Goldcard be compatatble to the RUU as stated on first page?

Can someone offer me some advise please.

I am not an expert with android, but as I see you still has S-on which means it is secured and also most probably you are not root... try to root your phone so you'll be able to install customized roms more easily... see this in general topics about HTC Drsire...

Hi, Unfortunately RADIO BRICK, you can try 2.3 RUU if not then try freezer trick...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonah1972:
Thanks for the help. I'm unable to root it as the software is unable to see the device even though windows does.

I'm having an issue, I tried to fix an issue where the desire would just hand on the bootscreen, I flash an RUU in recovery which then failed, now the phone wont switch on, go into recovery, respond to the charger, nothing, i'm not sure what I can do to fix it.

OK, I need to catch my breath as I wasn't expecting the whole block of text. My lunges barely managed to hold up till the end.

As for your Ink 2, we don't sell inks here. Not even two. I'm sorry we didn't fulfill your expectations, but we had certain... issues with our former supplier, so we had to cut the sales. Please, don't hesitate to request something else from our catalog of goods. I'm confident you'll find something you'll like.

Faulty battery

I had a No. [2] problem:

ADVANCED BOOT PROBLEMS

- stuck on splash screen with no recovery with S-OFF

I followed the instructions and everything went through successfully, but it did not fix or in fact change anything. The phone continued to freeze at the HTC logo. I did however notice that the phone was getting quite hot and at one point when trying to go into recovery the HTC logo would appear and the phone would vibrate 7 times. After some research I found that this would indicate a hardware fault. One of the solutions that I found was quite amusing.

At this point I was convinced that the phone was beyond repair. I replaced the battery from the aftermarket one I was using to an old (genuine) HTC one I had lying around and I could now boot into recovery and flash a ROM successfully. The phone has been working reliably ever since.

It seams that the battery was somehow causing the phone to overheat.

Hope this helps someone while troubleshooting.

hey guys,

i think i completely borked my phone

won't boot, not even into recovery.... it hangs on first HTC logo screen and wont continue .... if this was PC, i'd say MBR got messed up somehow, or filesystem on /system or perhaps even hardware failure, i don't know. adb shell says no device, so i can't really do anything.

any such tools exist so i could get access to internal storage and check if anything got borked or whatever? any ideas?

thx

Hello. And yes, i bricked my phone.

I'll try to explain as simple as i can:

1. I had my rooted and s-off'ed with CM7 r2

2. I needed original rom, so i installed 'some' original ruu. Everything worked.

3. Today i decided to root my desire. Unrevooked said, that my version is too new (2.2.2)

4. I downloaded from xda original RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe. Tried to install it - and my phone bricked with screen like this: http://i54.tinypic.com/2u8h645.jpg

5. with android flasher i managed to boot in recovery.

6. Tried to install other roms, bravo stock hboot - nothing helped.

7. When i try to install other original ruu - i got error 110 - file opener error.

What should i do?

In summary i'm unrooted and s-off'ed, and i can't install any rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
What hboot you have? Did you flash alpharev downgrade prior your ruu? Which partition was not flashed? What hboot screen saying?

More info will be handy

When you s-off why did you want to root with unrevoked, all custom rom are rooted afaik...

Now i managed to install RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release.

It looks like i have completely clean phone with 2.2.2 froy ?

I tried to fix it for 4hours...

So, i would be very glad, if you help me to get root and s-off, so i could install 4.1... :)

What should i do? Downgrade to 0.80? As i see i have no recovery too.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
What do you mean RUU locked? A locked bootloader doesn't influence the s-off process.

What hboot version do you have?

If it's 0.93 or 1.02, then use revolutionary.

Flash the stock hboot with Android Flasher and run the ruu again.

You can change hboot by fastboot commands or PB99IMG method. First flash the downgrader, then the stock hboot.

Flashing radio

Hi All,

This is not in the right place but almost, I was not allowed to post in the developer part of the site.

Anyway I spent the last 20 minutes reading through most of the replies on this section.http://xdaforums.com\showthread.php?t=687464&highlight=radio+desire&page=228.

I have a Desire, I have successfully modified it from the stock Froyo 2.2.2 to a Supernova 2.2.3 (Gingerbread), during this 'work' I had to change the hboot, go to S-OFF, and finally installed the latest Radio on the way trying out 3 other roms and going back and forth between them.

I am new to all this and have had find everything out with trial an error, put reading many of the help posts on the site have helped.

Now one thing I have learned is that it can be very and time consuming, and being a noobie (Windows) I made a few mistakes, but if you are having problems flashing your Radio use "Android Flasher Pro 2.2.0.6" or newer, very simple to use, except when I flashed the radio nothing appeared on the Computer screen giving indication as to how it was going, but my phone did display a red bar on the top right edge and when this was full the flash was complete.

The one thing I have found is you do not always see what you expect and whenever you do anything best go and have a cup of tea or something, it all take times, if you rush it you can mess things up big time. As I said I have done all the above and have what I think a decent system now. Also after installing each rom of radio I had to run "Faster GPS" (from the market) to get the GPS working quicker.

One last note......all the information is out there just spend time looking for it.

Sorry about the length of the post but.....................

I'm running Windows 8 64-bit, and I'm trying to follow the steps to root as described here: androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/300866-guide-rooting-htc-android-2-2-1-lower-unrevoked-windows-updated-20th-december-2012-a.html

I've installed HTC Sync and uninstalled HTC manager, and uninstalled Dropbox. I can connect to the Desire via USB both in HBOOT (with a successful USB connection message) and in regular Android OS.

I experimented with a couple other drivers - "Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72.zip" and "Acer_A1.win8.usb_drivers.x86_x64.rar" I found mentioned elsewhere.

Are there other drivers available? Any other advice for me to root this for the first time?
