[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fido747:
htc guru plz help me, i think i have bricked my desire

ok i might have destroyed the phone but giving it one last shot maybe you would be able to help me out .

heres what happened

1) the phone was displaying telstra logo and was not moving on from the blue telstra boot screen so i decided to hard reset it which didnt work

2) Then i tried installing a telstra RUU from h t t p : / / shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851.exe didnt realizing that my phone is S-on and therefore the radio_v2 wont update since it needs the s-off ***eyes-rolling***

3) so what the updated ruu did was, it updated the hboot and the rest but since it couldnt access the radio, it failed and left me with the black htc screen of death.

4) i downloaded the stock telstra ruu(last updated 2010) from htc's website but i think the hboot version is pretty old in that thats why whenever i run it it doesnt detects the phone and says usb disconnected

5) when i run the ruu to upgrade to 2.3gingerbred, the installer detects the phone and provides an image version 2.26.841.2 and states the new version 3.14.405.1 which it will be upgraded to but at 80% the setup fails since obviously it cant update the radio_v2

Im hoping that if i get my hands on a gingerbread version of telstra rom for desire. i might be able to operate the phone otherwise its either bricked or ill have to try JTAG, not sure if that be a complete a waste of time or not.

iv read all your troubleshooting guides and tried revolutionary and android flashing tools as well but they all seem to need an operable android device.

Please help me out

thanks

Hello all I am in desperate need of your help after several years of using my desire I was finally able to mess it up.

Currently I am with S-OFF and stuck on the Stock hboot from alpharev.

Yesterday the phone was working but it got the kiss of death and froze I restarted and went into a bootloop.

I was running the

[BETA 0.18.2.1][17.09] ICS for Desire[ALL HBOOTS][4.0.4] Rom. I had installed CM7r2 for Hboot but decided to go back to stock one as most users noticed better performance of the ROM on the phone. I used android flasher to change the hboot and I though everything was done since after reboot I got the message of alpharev that I am running the stock hboot.

However upon accessing the recovery (4EXT)i got the following message :

"ATT: recovery is in sage mode this is because the following partition is not accessible : " system"

Please enter the wipe menu and format system !

If you changed the hboot you should choose to format all partitions (except sdcard)

Afterwards please reboot ."

Easy enough but after navigating to the format all partitions and select the option the phone just goes into a "hang" mode and does not move from there.

I tried to change the hboot again using android flasher but to no avail as I get an error message.

Using the bootloder menu I made a system clearing as well but that does not change the status of the phone.

I am also unable to install anything from the sd card.

Whatever help you can give will be at most appreciated.

You can delete the post.

After a lot of reading I diagnosed the issue to be a missing system file.

I ran the stock RUU for desire and now the phone is back to life ! ! !

Thank you for this thread and valuable information,

It's not bricked. If you have clockwork recovery, just flash a ROM (you don't need to be S-OFF, yes, you can flash CM7 also), then use REVOLUTIONARY, and not alpharev. Alpharev is old and you don't need to use it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Why aren't the + and - buttons working? Are they broken?

Anyways, could you describe your problem with a bit more details? Does the phone boot? Is it a boot loop? The Rom doesn't work? Tell us man.

Or you just don't know how to exit that "screen"? lol...

Do ANY buttons work? If they don't, then your phone could be water damaged and locked in the bootloader.

Hey,

I had an alpharev s-off (hboot 0.90.0000) with a boot loop problem (7 vibrations on start)

I tried to restore to 2.3 RUU to fix the issue..

While trying to update I've got this problem

error: FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail)

Now, Im on the HTC screen with exclamations on all corners.. and back to S-ON

Tried three other RUU's including the original 1.19 which my phone was shipped with - but the same problem with all of them.

What can I do to fix this?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
why did you flash a Vodafone RUU on an Orange device? of course it won't work, CID isn't the same.

Try the WWE 2.2 RUU again (you need a gold card for that), and if it doesn't work try the 2.3 RUU. just read my guide. If it doesn't work on one computer it will work on another, just install hboot drivers, like my guide tells you to do.

Desire Bootloop

Guys,

I am looking for some help. I have a Desire which is now back on Orange UK (unlocked). I am S-On and running Leedroid 3.0.8.2 and everything was fine until the phone was changed from Vodafone back to Orange. The phone now goes into bootloop for no apparent reason. I have followed the OP's post to no avail. I have also change the SD Card and reformatted on Gparted, changed the radio, changed the ROM as suggested by the OP to Cynagenmod and re-flashed stock HBOOT.

When the phone goes into bootloop I pull the battery and I can get into recovery version as per OP's suggestion. The phone sometimes boots after plugging in and charging for a while and can work perfectly for a day or two, and then for no apparent reason goes into bootloop. It appears to me to be radio related, as the majority of bootloops are just as it enters the first lockscreen after booting. Another strange thing is that it shows the date of 06/01/1980!!!

I am completely stumped so would welcome any suggestions

Many thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
If you believe it's radio, which I doubt, because it'd be stuck in hboot if radio was corrupted, have you tried booting without the simcard? Also, make a gold card (any Android device will do) and try using the 2.2 WWE RUU. Just understand that RUUs can be dangerous and brick your phone, so do this at your own risk. If that doesn't fix it, or you're too lazy to make a gold card, just try the 2.3 RUU.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taff2408:
Hi Bortak,

Yes I tried booting without the Sim Card sorry forgot to add that in my OP. OK I have flashed RUU 2.3 and it all went OK as my radio has changed and so has my HBoot version which is now 1.02.0001, it was 0.80.000 so it looks like it has all gone OK. However I still have bootloop!!! Any ideas?

Many thanks for your help so far

Cheers now
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Ahh that's not good. Try booting into the bootloader and clearing storage, see if that helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taff2408:
Hi Bortak,

Thanks for your reply. I just tried that and still no joy. Further to what I did in my last post I put my Gold Card in as well, and thing are improving slightly. Every time I boot I now get through the normal boot sequence and all looks good. The opening splash screen opens with the lock screen and then it goes into the bootloop again after about 3 seconds. As I mentioned in my previous post, the lockscreen is showing the date as 06 Jan 1980, whether this has anything to do with it, but it seems strange to display that date. I have tried another known working Sim Card from my phone and still the same, and I have done the reverse with the other one and it works perfectly in another phone. So to re-cap I have tried 2 x Sim Cards and 3 x SD Cards and RUU 2.3. As I said before I am completely stumped!! Any further info gratefully recieved.

Cheers now

Try using RUU. exe
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
It sounds like it could be a hardware fault. Put it in a plastic bag, and then put it in the freezer for 20 minutes (no I'm not joking), if it boots fine then it's a hardware fault where something is overheating, hence its rebooting. When it heats up again eventually, it will start rebooting again .
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taff2408:
Hi Bortak,

I did read the about putting it in the Freezer in an earlier post, and after picking myself up off the floor laughing read that it solved the guys problem. I nearly tried it last night as I have nothing left to try so a bit of desperation!!

Things have moved on a bit, and now the phone boots every time to the Lockscreen, and it has gone into bootloop a few times but it has now been up and running for about 8 hours and is working without fault. I agree with you it is probably a hardware issue, but will try and keep it going for as long as possible.

Many thanks for all your help it is very much appreciated

Hi.

Yesterday I tried to use aplarev method (my hboot is v0.83.0001) to "s-off" my phone.

I rooted my phone 2 years ago (root+recovery+gingervillain-rom in place ). Before moving to one of ICS rom, I would like to s-off.

So:

- download iso file

- md5sum on iso : ok

- boot on cd : ok

- Steps 1 and 2 : ok

Then step 3 started, my phone rebooted once more and display a sentence like "Nand correctly detected. No pvt4"... and nothing more during 1h30.

I finally took off the batterie and used the recovery to restore a backup. My phone is still working but still "s-on".

I tried it twice...With sames results.

My phone is a branded one (Orange Fr), so I think I can't use the official 2.2 RUU to update hboot and then use the Revolutionary method.

I opened .iso file and have a look to manually run the shells scripts and see where I'm stocked during step 3. But I prefere to ask here before.

May the issue come from my ROM ? (I saw some topics about that but i not really convinced).

Thank to you.

..."Doing something wrong"...maybe. But you don't really have to do such hard stuff while using alpharev.

I'll investigate a little farther before flashing 2.2/2.3 ruu. (hope ruu will work on branded phone. I'm not with Orange any more and I don't where to get 2.x Orange Rom (...nothing here about orange))

Problem

Hey guys. I fully rooted my HTC Desire and installed Sandvold's ICS ROM for Desire, but I faced bootloop error when I restarted my phone. I have read about that bootloop and all about fixing it. I tried to fix that bootloop following this guide. I have installed ADB and phone drivers successfully.So after root I installed patched A2SDX by ADB. Next, I rebooted my phone, then entered to recovery menu and mounted data, system and sdcard (in 'Mounts and storage'). But when I try to cd /data/data in ADB while connected my HTC Desire, the error shows up and I can't access to that folder (/data/data/). One time I randomly entered to /data/data/ by cd command in cmd. So what's the problem? Please help, because I don't get it and I have no ideas how to fix it :/ The main fact is, that I can list directories by ls command, and I see /data/ folder in /data/ folder, but i can't access it.
