Logoloop

I got problem with looping and restarting of Desire at HTC logo. 1st it was only little red circle and I could only enter in Fastboot mod. So, I came here looking for solution of my problem. My HTC is S-ON so i followed 2nd step for S-ON; I made goldcard, boot phone into fastboot and run RUU which, afterwards, I have installed. After that, phone started and stuck at htc logo, then restart itself. After that, he went to htc logo with text below and all the way to unlock screen and puf, just when i thought its all ok, it restarted itself again and then just stuck at htc logo without restarting. I took off battery and enter fastboot, done factory reset and tried again. Same thing, just no more unlock screen. I tried to go into recovery console to wipe data, format etc. But, straight from there, it takes me to htc logo and Im stuck there again. I also tried to remake goldcard and rerun RUU, but it was all same thing. And now Im stuck without any idea for what to do. I really need your help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Try the 2.3 RUU and report back.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DadoZmaj:
Problem is that I dont know is it even branded. Well, I dont see any carriers logo, but still, I dont know whcih to download

EDIT:I have found some WWE 2.3 RUU and tried it, but same thing. Didnt even went to lock screen, just restart on htc logo. Recovery still not working
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
There is only one 2.3 RUU and it is universal. Link in resources, download is directly from HTC.

Last follow up - Total success!

Dear bortak

Just a few words to close the issue. My phone came back from service a few weeks ago, I haven't had the chance to fully tested, but I believe it is working perfectly, anyhow, that could had not been possible with your help. Is there anyway I can make a donation to this website via Paypal?

Finally something else, can you direct me to the right instructions to root & S-off again my HTC desire using Cyanogen, this is what every android must have!!? Last time I took me a lot of trial an error, to root and S-off.

Final word for those having this problems with HTC desire: turning off and/or rebooting automatically, rebooting when charging or using NAV, backcase heating up: HTC is aware of this problem and will repair it free of charge if it is in warranty: 2 years of the date of purchase, or two years since the manufacture date (in case that you do not have the purchase receipt, at least in Spain). Obviously if there is any physical damage to your phone (water damage also), they will return it and charge for the revision.

I hope this could be useful for others!

Rgds!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DadoZmaj:
Yes, thats the one. I downloaded it two times, just in case to be sure.

I left it to charge over night and now it works. For now. Ill report back if something suddenly goes wrong.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
You will get my generic answer: Look at my guide. I've added a section or two since you last read it. Anything to do with the Desire is there.

Well that sucks, what's your HBOOT info? Have you still got warranty?

S-OFFing official HTC Gingerbread ROM

I had official HTC Gingerbread ROM and tried Revolutionary to S-OFF and root it.

After rebooting the phone, the process ended with "Your HBOOT is too old" (in fact, it was too much new, because of GB ROM)... but in fact, Revolutionary succeeded to S-OFF my phone and replace stock HBOOT with itself.

So, if you get to this situation, do not panic... just turn off the phone, then POWER+VOLUME DOWN, and read the screen.

You should see REVOLUTIONARY on the first line!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Revolutionary supports the 1.02 HBOOT, this is not news.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeoMW:
Yes, that's not the news.

But I was a little confused when reading that failure message. Thinking about need to downgrade to Froyo official ROM (and most often answer to that on the forum was "send your phone to HTC", which really frightened me).

More to that, I think the HBOOT version was 1.06 (information given by Revolutionary installer)... but it's more than a few weeks, so my memories can be fake.

And sorry, if I offended you somehow.

I thought this info could be useful for desperate official GB users. And I used "SEARCH" button to check if there is already similar answer...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeoMW:
Suggestion to modify S-OFFing troubleshooting

Just a suggestion (non-magic):

In the paragraph [3]: S-OFF'ing PROBLEMS

[OPTION1]- Use Alpharev instead

... the link leads to the page stating "AlphaRev 1.8 is now deprecated software. If at all possible, use Revolutionary instead."

You could change the line (and the link):

[OPTION1]- Use Revolutionary instead

-----

Just trying to be useful, do not throw stones at me, please...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
It's linked to alpharev because revolutionary doesn't support older HBOOTs. if someone hasn't updated their phone and has a hboot older than 0.93 then they will have to either update or just use alpharev.

i have a cdma desire for uscc i unlocked thru htcdev. i now have hboot 1.09 im trying to flash this phone to be able to use thru cricket.

ive been reading thru a whole bunch of different pages and have used google.

i just have a few questions.

apparently from what i've read htcdev unlock doesnt give me s-off becasue my deal says * BRAVOC DVTZ SHIPS-ON*

i was going to use the alpharevx tool but it doesnt support hboot 1.09 - so? my next obvious question is going to be if i use some of the directions from the sticky should i be able to achieve s-off by any of those means with my current hboot?

also from what i've been reading, i'm not able to reverse my hboot to 1.06 - in the sticky i was reading something about a custom hboot - is it possible to use a custom hboot to achieve s-off?

im not able to install cyanogen to be able to install anything from zip tells me i dont have superuser capabilities? but i do have it installed from the app store ? should i download the zip file and put it on the root of the sd card and install it from there ?

i was going to try to use this walk thru (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1077028) for a full flash for cricket? is that even possible for me at this point?

i saw some parts of the sticky about s-off that seemed promising but i think that at this point i need a push in the right direction.

maybe im totally off base but any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You in advance...

Stuck at black [U]/!\[/U] error with no USB connection/usb debug disabled/no goldcard

Last year I upgraded my Desire to HTC's 2.3.3 developer ROM. Due to lack of space (hate those ever-growing apps...) I decided to root my phone now that it's more than 2 years old so no guarantee remaining.

After reading a lot, decided to use Revolution and managed to get S-OFF. ROM update, however, took only 2 seconds instead of posted "several minutes" giving me the idea something went wrong. After rebooting, the phone got stuck at the white HTC boot screen. And worse: the phone was still identified by Windows 7 as an Android ADB device but won't be detected by Revolution. So, I followed the instructions as posted in section [7] of this thread.

Flashing the HBOOT using AlphaRev Downgrader went quickly and flawless (resulting in S-ON); however, none of the HTC RUU's contain a rom.zip file that is accepted by HBOOT (error too old).

Somebody suggested to boot into recovery mode (resulting in black /!\ screen) and flashing a file "update.zip", which results in the following error:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

So summarized:

- phone boots in HBOOT-0.75.0000 (RADIO-4.05.00.11)

- phone S-ON

- recovery mode loads black screen with

/!\

error

- USB not operational, so no USB debugging option

- SDcard still available

- No goldcard (as it was not mentioned in the Revolution description)

Eventual goal is to flash Cyanogenmod but first revert to factory image. Altogether I just don't know what to do to unbrick the device. Anyone any suggestions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
If you've got any other Android devices then make a goldcard using that, then use the 2.2 WWE RUU. If that doesn't work try the 2.3 RUU again, because the bootloader didn't update for some reason. Anyway once you get it working from a RUU, just follow the easiest root method with revolutionary, flashing recovery, backup and flash. It's one of the last posts I made.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
you used CM5? I didn't even know something that old existed for our phone. Try CM7.

Also, it's likely that you need to fiddle with your VPN settings. Try googling the problem, because I don't know much further than that, sorry.

Thx :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mervel:
In the end I found the 2.3 RUU, extracted rom.zip and managed to use that for restoring the phone to operational state. Big thanks for your support.

Now doubting to retry it all again and see if Revolution will work as expected this time...

Hi, I'm using Sandvolds ICS rom since January and everything is just fine exept the storage space. I tries different a2sd scripts with it, but the two with the most internal storage - Amarullz and INT2SD doesn't want to work for some reason. Amarullz is incredibly slow and I get FCs in every second. int2sd was great, but after a few hours i couldn't install any app from the play store. I've read the whole thread but there wasn't anything about it, and since I can't post there, I'm asking here, maybe someone could point me to the right direction how to fix this. Thanks for your reply.

ps: I'm on revolutionary hboot. i think i read something about that it may have something to do with it

trouble with EXT4 recovery

Hi,

New here, hope I follow the ettiquette ok.

my phone is an htc desire gsm

I've just successfully run revolutionary. Hboot screen now shows the revolutionary banner and S-OFF

I've now bought the EXT4recovery app and have it on the phone. I'm now trying to flash the recovery but I'm getting various messages. Often the app tells me to download busybox but busybox can't install on a non-rooted phone. when the ext4 app does allow me to select a recovery it tries to flash and fails with a message that s-off may not be set. I've rebooted the phone 3 times, still getting the same problem.

can someone suggest something else I can try please? thanks

Hi bortak,

Tried flashing a JB rom after running ICS for a month or so and sfter the update I wasn't able to connect to WPA2 WIFI, tried re-flashing the ROM several times, flashed Supernova ROM, even flashed a completely stock RUU, now I am unable to connect to WIFI, however WIFI worked perfectly on ICS and ROMs before that. I also can't establish a 'Reliable Connection' with google to activate my gmail account and restore contacts.

Any ideas?

cyanomod 7

i installed cyanomod 7 in htc desire in order to run s2e, it is not compatible with my phone again... i cannot install also the google market... i dont know any positive thing to tell about cyanomod 7... i thing that im gonna uninstall that rom and roll back to the default htc desire rom... can someone tell me the easiest way...?

thanks... :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
You have no market because you didn't flash google apps after CM7. You also wouldn't need s2e if you flash the cm7 hboot from alpharev, as it would give you about 187mb free space. You should really read around.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cokemonkey11:
Thank you for the excellent guide. Following it has brought me a lot further along than I was before.

I've installed the guide-recommended RUU (without a usb connection, following issue #2, S-ON), and my phone continues to experience a boot-loop.

Do you have any suggested course of action? At this point I just want to get my phone back to a usable state.

Edit: It appears I'm not quite patient enough. After the RUU, I've tried turning the phone on 4 times.

The first time it boot looped (white htc screen), the second time it went to the "quietly brilliant" screen before boot looping again, the third time it only boot looped, and now on the 4th try I've gotten the phone to start up with the proper froyo RUU rom.

Again, I'm looking for some guidance on a recommended following course of action. Do you have any ideas of what I can do to prevent this from occuring more in the future?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Honestly, no idea mate. Sometimes it's good to do a wipe from recovery before you flash a RUU, sometimes helps to avoid problems. Can't say anything else really, if it works it works.

Hi,

I don't know where to ask, but this thread seems like a good start :)

Then it was my turn to mess up my phone, and I probably killed my phone totally :crying:

My desire is root and s-off, I had an old rom, rcmixhd or something (its from march 2011), and yesterday I wanted to try new roms. After some back and forward, my phone did not boot anymore, and after some more trying, I could not enter revovery mode anymore, and after that I could not enter the "volume-down and powerbutton"-menu at all. Its completely dead. I guess the battery is drained. But since the phone is bricked, it wont take any charge at all..

So, is the phone completely done? game over?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimmy1405:
Well, after discovering this CM7, I started to like quiet a lot CM7, I found how it works, S2E, google play, i partitioned in 1gb ext for internal memory, evereything that i wanted from a smart phone, the only thing that im angry is that Torch burned my flash light in high brightness turned on :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
What did you actually do? "after some back and forward" doesn't tell me anything.

On another hand though, if it's not turning on or charging (and no notification LED on/flashing) then it is in fact, most probably dead. Why? I don't know. Maybessomething you did, maybe your phone ran out of the will to live, as some hardware does. The Desire series never was a reliable phone. I sent mine for repair 4 times.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
What do you want me to do about it? There's a warning message when you turn on high brightnessssayingit might bbork your Flash. It's your fault...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Mario:
Thank you for answering :)

It all started when I was playing a game called Fun-run. It did hang a couple of times, so I took out the battery to restart the cellphone. I did not know the soft-reset procedure then (down,power and the middle button). But suddenly the phone did not boot anymore, it was bootlooping (showing the alpharev screen with the joker). So I went into recovery mode. At this point I made a decision to try new rooms. But first I installed a new recovery (clockwork revovery 5.0.8.0 or something like that. I had the 2.x or 3.x version before. I tested the new recovery-menu, and it worked ok) Then I installed "

RUNNYCRUX RSK TEAM ★ with AMAZE CAM"-rom. It was just fine, but I did not format the memory card correct, so the OS showed "no memorycard inserted" when the OS was up and running. So since I had to format the card anyway I decided to try Runnyrom too. I went into clockwork recovery and did a clean of the card and data, cache, dalvik, and reset the battery stats. (I did this a couple of times) When booting up runnyroom the first time, it seemed to hang, so I pulled out the battery. Then I tried to boot again, let the phone an hour or something, but pulled out the battery again. Now it did not boot anymore. And it did not take any charge anymore, the led did not flash either. The only thing that worked was the fastboot/recovery-meny, but when I got in the fastboot-menu, the phone did charge, but I did not have time to charge the phone as I did think the battery was almost full. Then I went into the fastboot-menu, and tried to press recovery, but it did not boot recovery, instead it showed the alpharev flashscreen with the joker.. After doing this some times it did not boot the fastboot/alpharev/recovery-menu at all anymore. The whole phone seems to be dead. It does not take any charge, the leds do not flash eiher.

I have a hope that its just the battery that is empty, and if I manage to charge the battery with an another phone, I hope I can get into the recovery-menu again, and follow your guide. Is this a realistic hope?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panpjp:
Uh, oh. My belief is:

1.) Some partitions are corrupted.

Taking out battery is known to cause partition corruption, so next time please don't do it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Orange didn't release any factory images (RUU's), so you will not get your phone back to what it was. You cN go to shippes-roms.com and find the best for you (as in your region/ continent etc). Just make sure not to flash any old ones, and only use Froyo RUU's.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Well that doesn't sound good. Have you tried charging it with a different USB cable? Otherwise I can't really help you. If it's not booting, even to hboot or fastboot, that pretty much indicates your phone gave up on its life.
