1. Use a DRY freezer.

2. DON'T put the phone in a plastic bag.

3. Take the battery out.

4. DON'T microwave it afterwards to make it warm again.

Hello,

I bought HTC from a freind of mine, even knowing i had to fix it.

Although, im having some problems trying to get the phone to work properly.

Just need someone who could point me in the right direction.

***Unlocked***

ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.00.0029

mICROP-0438

RADIO-26.14.04.28_M

eMMC-boot

Dec 22 2011,14:28:19

Now, what can i do with this, and what to follow? As i said, SDCard have nothing, theres no backup, no root, no image, nothing.

I dont know what has been done before. Revolucionary doesnt work. Tried to load PM89Iblablabla.zip, doesnt do nothing. Tried another boot, nothing, is still stuck for like 40 mins on HTC logo. It doesnt vibrate 7 times.

Something just went terribly wrong and im clueless what to try next, besides, theres so much information, and so scaterred that i cant find a line to follow to sucess...

Please someone with some enlightment about what to do, please, assist me...

Only thing that seams to be still working is Cloockwork backup program.

Thanks in advance and sorry about my not so good english

Dear all,

I rooted my HTC Desire a year ago and used cyanogenmod a long time. Last week I installed 4EXT recovery and the VJ CM10.1 ROM. It worked like a charm, but suddenly my phone restarted a few times and now it isn't working anymore. It starts and shows the first logo but then it stops. I can go into Fastboot or select "recovery", but then it also shows the logo. I downloaded Android Flasher and installed "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo". I get the following message:

After that, my phone starts and shows the same logo and do nothing. I also tried the "recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1"-Recovery, but it shows the same behavior. What can I do? Here are the Specs from Fastboot:

First download the recovery.img of 4ext and get android flasher prepared so that you can flash the recovery when you're ready. Take the battery out of the phone, and put the phone in a freezer for about 10 minutes. Then remove the phone, boot it into fastboot, and flash 4ext recovery via android flasher.

Hi Chromium,

Why do you indicate to put the Desire in the Freeze every time you answer to a Desire's problem ?

Is it a good (best) way to solve this smart phone or is it a tipical failure of it?

In this case, when it is hot, as I experienced my self, it boot, works, but when too hot, freeze...

Sorry for my bad english...

Now, I have a Galaxy S3, but I prefer my old Desire !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Well, actually I was the one insisting upon it. Seems like the Desire works much better after it has been in the freezer, especially when trying to fix a Radio brick.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phil17_FR:
OK, I understand, but if a Desire is "thermal sensitive", I mean it freeze when a little bit too hot, this trick can mask all other problems.

I've tried as you gave this trick to me, my smartphone as recovered a new life but when it is hot, when I use GPS and/or if the sun shine directly on the phone, it freeze...

:(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Random_her0:
Have done a LOT of searching and found no solutions to this problem so decided it was time to post.

The issue I'm having is with the windows hboot driver install step of rooting my phone (can't post links yet, but it's the part where you need to install revoked drivers through device manager whilst the phone is in HBOOT). The issue is that when in HBOOT "Android 1.0" does not show up in Device Manager. The phone does go into "HBOOT USB PLUG" mode, but nothing registers in device manager. It is showing up in device manager when in FASTBOOT.

I really have no clue what to do, the only other person who had the same issue fixed it by using another usb port, I've used all of them on my PC and on my laptop to no avail. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Changing the usb port would have been the first option.

Doesn't anything show up in device manager? Anything at all?

There are more ways to fix this:

-use a different PC

-find the phone in device manager under whatever name is appears, and uninstall it from there, then try again

-reinstall Windows
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Random_her0:
Thanks for the response.

As I mentioned, I tried another pc and same issue. So that would also cover the benefits of reinstalling Windows, I presume.

When in Fastboot the phone shows up in Device Manager as "My HTC" under "Android USB Devices". If I uninstall it, it re-installs under the same name and location the next time i enter fastboot. When I put the phone in HBOOT, however, it checks the SD and says "HBOOT USB PLUG" but there is nothing in Device Manager about the phone, anywhere. It doesn't show up in any of the categories.

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
A different PC didn't work?

Well, that makes it seem like a phone related issue. But there shouldn't be anything wrong with Hboot usb plug.

What hboot version do you have?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Random_her0:
1534 6556682

Hboot is 0.93
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Random_her0:
ok, looks like I've managed to fix it. Turns out windows 7 was automatically installing a device driver for me, and registering the phone as some sort of port :/ Had to manually disable automatic device installation. Sorry for the disturbance but hopefully someone can learn something from this!

thanks again

Hello,

i hope you can help me a little bit.

I have a old HTC Desire and i cannot solve the problem.

my Phone is S-ON and i use HBoot 93.001

I can start into the bootmenu.

I could not flash a new firmware because it will stop with the HTC Screen.

I have tried to flash with the PB99IMG.zip File but i get an error at the radio point. The rest works fine but without an reboot.

I tried to create a goldcard but i am not possible to run the the downloaded RUU beacuse i dont have a USB connection.

I have flashed a second time with the PB99IMG.zip file and now the Phone doesnt star if i press the Powerbutton or Voldown +Power.

I anyone have an idea please help.

Thx and greetz

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
It's a radio brick. Very small chance of fixing such an issue.

You can do this:

Take the battery out, then put the phone in the freezer.

Prepare the 2.3 RUU on your PC. By this, I mean, download the 2.3 RUU, http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152, and install HTC Sync.

Take the phone, put the battery back in, boot in hboot, and try installing the RUU. If it works, then it's ok. If it doesn't, then get a new phone.

Hate to say but u baught broke phone. Usually 7 vibrates = hardware problem, u need new motherboard. Hopefully u still have the sellers details and try get ur money back. Reason i say is because if he said that the phone just does'nt boot then u should be ok, he should of mentioned that it vibrates "x" amount of times.

Anyway, to get the phone booted u can always try flash the 2.3 gb ruu (above in abaaaabbbb's post) and see what happens, if it finishes installing the ruu then id say it will probably keep rebooting. Good luck.

[2] To install the zip, you have to boot in bootloader, so that is can be loaded. To do this, simply power off the phone, then press and hold the Power Button and the Volume Down button at the same time. You should then be booted in a white screen. You should be prompted about installing something. Simply reply 'Yes", and wait for it to install. Congratulations, you just installed a zip by using the PB99IMG method. Why I cannot find the OP?

BTW, I've reflash with android flasher or flashboot using alpharev bravo stock. But still it is white (orange RUU) after connect to usb but 4-triangle-exclamation-mark after power&minus
