thanks bortak, yea i figured it's not 100% yet or maybe just crappy sd card or something. anyways, i'm trying out Nikez rom at the moment and so far i got it all working. a2sd ( according to his FAQ; dalvik-cache YES, app-data NO to sd - i did them both YES on sandovald - maybe thats the difference maker? so far it's working great, i got 4GB sd-ext partition, 140mb free of internal storage, so far so good.

One more question:

if there's a new version of ROM available and I download it, put it on my SD, go to recovery, choose install zip from SD, will it reset everything, or will the apps i have installed stay on?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
It will not reset anything, however you should do a full wipe with a majour release of any ROM. E.g. if it is beta 1.0, and it is updated to 1.1, then a wipe is usually not necessary. An update from 1.1 to 2.0 usually does require one.

When updating your rom without a wipe, make sure to wipe dalvik cache from advanced settings (depending on what recovery you're using)

Procedure to un-root using USB connection

Hello!

Thanks for compiling all this procedures to handle problems rooting the HTC Desire. I succesfully used the method #2 in [2]: ADVANCED BOOT PROBLEMS to recover my phone stuck in the white screen with the HTC logo. Previously I had been able to root and S-OFF with revolutionary. Now I have to return my HTC for warranty (it keeps rebooting when plug-in and browsing or using the GPS, overheating problem I guess), so I have to un-root it and this is where the problems that made my phone stuck started, I believe that I ran the wrong RUU and probably did it in a wrong way.

This is why I come to you guys, as I couldn't find a procedure in this post (excuse me if I missed it!) to un-root the phone. I tried to follow the instructions in section [4] S-OFF, but I am facing problems with it:

1. When I try to run Android Flash from my laptop under Windows 7 I get the message: AndroidFlasher has stopped working Windows can check online for a solution and close the program (This is the reason I used method #2 in [2]). Windows never checks and program never run. I believe that I can use the android-sdk tools to flash the "Bravo Stock" and then run the 2.3.3 RUU, but I do not want to guess I want to have step by step instructions to do it.

Thanks in advance for your help, I deeply appreciate what you do guys!

Hello Bortak!

Thanks for your quick answer, I succesfully completed the first step (or at least that's what I think!).

I flashed the bravo_alphaspl.img (bravostock) and now my phone shows ---AlphaRev--- in the booting screen instead of Revolutionary. Still S-OFF and runs under Cyanogen 7.

I moved to the second step, which if I understand correctly, is just repeat previous steps (number 14, method 2) but now flashing the downgrader from AlphaRev (same place where I downloaded the bravostock). When doing that I got the following message in CMD:

sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))

I checked the file before flashing it with md5check, and the code displayed was the same as the one displayed in the AlphaRev website. I tried it several times with the same result. Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas?

Again, thanks for your help!:o
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Hm, don't see why you're getting that. Tried downloading the file again? If you can't flash it it's not that necessary anyway. You can just run the 2.3 RUU, it has a newer HBOOT so it should overwrite the alpharev one anyway.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegaso1:
Update 2

Hello again Bortak!

I downloaded again the downgrader but the problem persists:

sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))

So I proceeded to the next step, flash the RUU. I did it and everything went fine, but I am still S-OFF and the word ---AlphaRev-- appears in the boot screen (Vol down + power). So I went to [8]: S-OFF AFTER RUU and followed the procedure there, problem is that after step [P2/STEP1] the phone doesn't prompt to update the bootloader. It briefly shows: appears parsing... [PB99IMG.zip] and then comes back to the HBOOT screen. I checked the files in the zip folder and repeated the procedure seral times with the same result.

Again, many thanks for your help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Download PB99IMG-1 and remove the "-1". Put it on your sd-card, boot hboot. upgrade.

Download PB99IMG and replace the other file (previously named pb99img-1). Boot hboot, upgrade.

Bortak!

Your solution worked as a charm!, my phone is S-ON and (almost!) ready send it back to HTC.

There is still a problem: HTC UK will not repair my phone because it had been sold (locked!) by Vodafone Spain. I can send it to Spain (indeed I am going next week for holidays!) but the problem is that I believe I should lock the phone to Vodafone Spain (España) before sending it, otherwise warranty will be voided.

Would it be possible to get that RUU and lock the phone, as originally it was?

Should I start a new tread, or can we keep with this one?

Again, my warmest regards!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Nah HTC honor the warranty with the 2.3 update so so should vodafone Spain.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegaso1:
Udpdate 4

Thats's good news! and when you think about it, it makes sense!

What about the fact that I bought the phone locked for Vodafone and that now is unlocked, probably the same thing, right? HTC probably will not care about it.

Cheers!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Nope. The warranty stands with the 2.3 Update. Vodaphonne just probably send it to them anyway.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azlan194:
Hi.

I am kinda noob regarding the process for fixing my bricked Desire. ok first of all, my desire is S-ON and it is not able to boot into recovery nor boot normally, it just stuck in the HTC logo and vibrate about 7 times (I have no idea why it did that).

I tried using the Advance Boot Problems with S-ON method, and the problem is, when I ran the WWE RUU and when it says it is trying to verify the information on my phone, it failed and said that I have Error

[170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot connect t your Android phone.

My phone is able to boot into Fastboot and it did say FASTBOOT USB. So, I don't know what is the problem here. Sorry, I am not very good with this stuff. I hope you can help me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Multiple vibrations indicate a hardware fault, so the phone may be broken. Regarding the USB error, try using Number 7 instead.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azlan194:
wow, Thank You for replying very quick..:good:

oh sorry, apparently I did not install the HTC Sync. After I installed it, it can now connect and was able to do the update, my phone reboot into the HTC logo but with a black background. However, after a minute, this error comes up.

ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR

It is because of the gold card?. Pardon my ignorance, I am not very experience in this. Thanks again for the help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Yeah you need to get the right RUU, or make a goldcard. If you can't be bothered to find or make either then you can risk using the 2.3 RUU. Download in resources.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azlan194:
oh, the gold card is not compulsary? what do you mean the right RUU, how do I know which one is the right one? and what kind of risk can actually happen if I use the 2.3 RUU (its the "Android 2.3.3 RUU" in the Resources right?). I am so sorry for the for the endless questions, I am trying my best to fix my Desire, I hope it can be fixed with your help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
go on shipped-roms.com.

By right RUU, I mean you need to download the specific RUU for your Country/Region and Network provider. E.g. I live in the UK and am on Vodafone, therefore the RUU for me is the Vodafone UK one. If you're on orange then there are no RUU's, so you need to use the goldcard or the 2.3 RUU.

The goldcard is only necessary when you don't have the "right" RUU for your phone, in which case you just use the 2.2 WWE (World Wide English) RUU, which is unbranded.

The 2.3 RUU doesn't need a goldcard.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azlan194:
oh ok, I think my phone is unbranded because there was no network carrier associated with my phone. since I used the WWE RUU and failed, now I'm using the 2.3 RUU and it work, at least almost all the way, however it failed at the end of it, and when I disconnetec the USB cable from my phone, it shows this display.

Stuck in bootloop - s-on/not rooted/stock rom

Hi guys,

My brothers wife gave me her htc desire that won't boot up anymore after she updated a lot of apps and ran out of memory.

So, the desire which is NOT rooted is stuck in a bootloop. I can boot into bootloader and the desire gets detected by PC if pluged in usb.

I also managed to install a RUU, but sill no effort.

Does somebody have an idea if this is fixable and how to start?

By the way, the vol-down button is not working, but every other button is working (so i can but into booloader with power+back and navigate with vol-up).

Go into the bootloader, select "clear data", if that doesn't work, then try the 2.3 RUU

Oh dear, you can't fix a radio brick, soooo your phone might b e screwed. Some users report sticking the phone in the freezer for 20 minutes in a plastic bag, before running the RUU had fixed the problem for them, but that could just be coincidence.

Random reboots - Please help

I simply have done all i can - and it seems that i cant do it right. Please consider to help me, because im noob.

Before i state my problem i should say that i have googled an crossed xda forum for 4 days and without any improvement.

Problem I have is that, my phone randomly reboots at no particular time or place - but here come the details:

First, for purpose of unlocking phone from SIM lock from carrier, it was S-OFFed and rooted by someone else (previous owner).

Rom was installed - Oxygen 2.3.2. and it worked for few months without bugs.

Then, one day it restarted and stuck in bootloops, but it came up for few seconds, or some time (but not for long), and then again restarted and so on. Eventually it held enough to do a factory reset which generally helped, but with one strange thing - clock couldnt sync and loosed about an hour for 5-6 hours (really strange).

Then i decided to try some other ROM hoping to resolve clock issue.

When I go into HBOOt it says:

--- AlphaRev ---

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27

Aug 10 2010 17:52:10

Then i went here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1315961URL and done REALLY step by step whole procedure.

ROM was installed, along with -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1408936

It worked flawllessly for about half an hour an then started rebooting on no particular action - sometimes went up for some time few secs to 10-20 mins an then reboot and sometimes it got stuck in endless loop (only pulling the battery helped).

Since it went wrong, i tried to RESTORE previosly made BACKUP of mentioned OXYGEN ROM, but sadly, same thing happened all the time.

I was devasteted, didnt know what to do so I decided to get back to STOCK ROM via RUU. (thought it would solve the problem)

I used RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.14_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_224699_signed

Phone stayed S-OFF (obviosly for AlphaRev HBOOT) but have been preety stable comparing what was happening before, in terms: restarted few times for a day and allways rebooted back. Then i inserted other SIM card ant it began again with restarts as soon it went up and been up for 10-20 secs. After few reboots, it stabilised, but had different problem: couldnt add new account, and couldnt remove one I set up at the beginning (message said that i should do FACTORY reset if i want account removed). So I did factory reset - and NOTHING HAPPENED - evrything stayed exactly as it was - with account and everything.

Then i came across Your Guide and followed step one, although it doesnt exactly match my probs - in terms that my phone boots up most of the time, but restarts randomly...

So I did what I was supposed to do and installed CyanogenMod after following step 10 Amon Ra's Recovery (I have PVT4 device) but same thing continues to happen - reboots, apparently on trying to add account on phone...

SORRY FOR SUCH LONG POST, but Im out of ideas, and new to this so PLEASE< PLEASE HELP me if u somehow can...

Thanks in advice

Hardware fault
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goxyendzy:
OK, that was in the beginning, but now if I leave it, it wont reboot. Only when i try doing something (like setting up an account) it reboots. First time i installed Runnymede it would reboot on check/uncheck mobile network or something like that. But afterwards it had reboots on its own.

Could I have messed up something? Im asking this because on Oxygen after that Factory reset it all worked good excluding clock?

Can U offer me no alternative solution?

And why after installing Stock ROM i had better behavior? It allmost worked well, few crashes on setting up account and so on?

Please, maybe I just didnt realise connection - what is the last resort i can go to? Try installing Stock ROM through RUU but first change AlphaRev HBOOT?

I dont mind if my phone is not rooted/S-ON

Thanks for fast reply :good:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Pretty much anything that requires the CPU will cause it to reboot, it's a desire overheating issue. If you stick it in the freezer in a plastic bag for 20 minutes it will work perfectly fine for a few minutes, because it will be cool. If you under clocked then maybe it would be more stable, but doesn't stop the fact of there being a hardware fault with the phone. If you still have warranty then call HTC.

You will notice differences in stability with different roms probably because different roms require differing amounts of resources, and the more "resource hungry" ones will be less stable due to the hardware fault. This is speculation though, so don't take just my word for it...

OK, thanks anyway, I guess solution is to take it to repair center, but U wont mind if I search for another oppinion?

Issue with Nikez ICS

Guys, I recently flashed the Nikez ICS 4.04. While the UI and all is great, I am facing couple of issues.

1. phone goes into the boot animation if kept idle for long time or while charging at times...only way to bring it back is to remove the battery and restart.

2. During an incoming call, the phone hangs. None of the controls work and there is a long vibration thats all. Again, battery has to be removed and restarted to fix this. (happens say 4/10 times)

I flashed by doing a clean wipe and as suggested in the instructions. Any pointers to help fix this?

You've just got an SLCD brick, which is perfectly fixable. All you have to do is follow the instructions for running a RUU..

Download android flasher, then go to the alpharev website and download the downgrader.

Do a battery pull. Hold BACK and POWER to boot into fastboot mode.

plug in via USB, run android flasher, and use it to flash the downgrader.

Wait about 20 seconds (just to be absolutely safe). Then battery pull again (if you've got adb setup just use fastboot reboot-bootloader, if not then just follow this), and again hold BACK and POWER.

Now run the RUU that rootSU gave you, and you'll be done.
