I have a HTC desire 828 dual sim. I bought it in In India. I rooted my phone but I could not unroot it properly. In fastboot mode it says my software is modified. And I can no longer install software updates. My bootloader is locked. How do I turn it back to stock?Currently it's kind of unrooted.

can't wipe system... 2

Hello,

I come after a few years because I have exactly the same problem. But the solutions don't work. I can't erase boot or system using fastboot CMD. Always the same answer in fastboot :

"FAILED <command write failed <no error>>

Finished. Total time 0.016s"

I can enter 4EXT recovery, but nothing works in it, even "power off" (always this xxx spinning circle:confused:).

Does someone here know a solution??

Please, I love my Desire...:crying::crying::crying:

Thanks for your help.

I haven't use the Desire for years, but try to reflash the recovery using fastboot commands.

If that doesn't work reflash stock image and restart the process. The phone isn't ****ed untill you mess with the hboot partition tables and that goes south.

Hello Qimbexa and ze7zez,

I'm gonna try this!

Thank you very much.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monpseud0:
Guys, you're KINGS!!!!

I tried fastboot commands which show me a few bad blocks

I flashed a new recovery with fastboot

and then (always with fastboot) I erased system. This time it worked...

Then I reinstalled the ROM.

And all is working now.

Thank you very much guys, you made my Desire come back to life!

Hi, can any1 give me a working link to the Visionary software? Thx

Never mind, I managed to S-OFF my phone without the help of the Visionary. I found out that Revolutionary is in this place, not revolutionary.io. i managed to get my beta key and everything worked fine. Was less than a minute.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzmeoo:
Hi to all,

I rooted the phone using Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 with S-ON.

I partitioned the 8GB microSD card with G-Parted using step by step guide (1GB for Ext4).

After that I tried to frash a GingerBread AOSP (I tried: Oxygen, Redux, Redux2, CyanogenMOD CM7) the first boot into ROM is ok.

The ROMs are working great, I can make calls, sync, install apps etc.

But when I reboot/shut down the phone it stucks on HTC screen/Splash screen.

If I flash a Sense ROM (Tried: RunnyMede AIO, SuperNova, SGBS, CoolSense) I don't have this problem.

I changed the SD card with a new one but nothing.

Then I thought that the problem is with S flag and I used Alpharev.

Now the phone shows:

--- AlphaRev ---

Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.93.0001

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYMW0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27

Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18

The AlphaRev procedure also changed the Recovery to: CMW-AlphaRev Recovery v2.5.1.8

But S-OFFing did not solve the problem, I still can't use GingerBread AOSP ROMs (sense ROM works great).

In this troubleshooting guide is said that PVT4 Devices with Erasesize 40000 needs custom recovery (Amon Ra).

My device shows bootloader Bravo PVT4 but if I use terminal emulator cat /proc/mtd shows 20000 erassesize, I am a little confused.

Did anyone experience this problem ?

So should I try AmonRa recovery ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
you're fine with clockworkmod then, I've a phone like that also.

Before you flash, do a full wipe from \mounts & storage:

>format boot

>format system

>format data

>format cache

>format sd-ext

then reflash any AOSP ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaphodbeeb:
Hi,

This is an excellent guide, however it isnt fixing my problem, as follows:

I have an s-on desire which I think is completely bricked. I was trying to revert back to stock after developing a hardware problem with regards the flashlight, and also camera not working.

I tried an ruu which failed, and the end result of which is that I have an s-on phone which boots to a htc splash with an ! in each corner.

If the usb is unplugged I get

BRAVO PV4 SHIP-ON

HBOOT 0.93-.0001

MICROP 051d

Touch-PANEL SYNT0101

RADIO-5.09.05.30_2

Aug 10 2010 17:52:10

RUU

This also has the ! in each corner.

If I plug it back in I go back to the HTC splash screen.

I have a gold card.

I think I have tried every o2 and htc ruu out there but all seem to fail because of varions reasons.

Can anyone help? Is this one for the smartphone graveyard?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
there's a solution right there, but since you need your warranty, you need to try something else anyway, use the 2.3.3 RUU from HTC dev (linky on thread in #resources), should fix the problem, then send off to htc
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaphodbeeb:
Out of RUU mode but still cant flash o2 ruu

Hi,

thanks for the tip with this. The RUU you recommended has got the phone up and running again, but

I am trying to restore back to O2 for return using this RUU

After flashing the rom you suggested I did the following:

I did the revolutionary s-0ff thing - ok

used alpharev downgrade hboot - ok

Tried to run the RUU but it gives me low power warnings, so I extracted the rom from the RUU.

Renamed this as PB99IMG and placed on the sd root.

Went into hboot but errors were encountered during the install "img missing or incorrect".

When the install completes I reboot and nothing has changed. Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
no.. mate.. just leave it.. you have returned it to stock, and you can return it that way, HTC (therefore any insurance provider) honours the warranty after 2.3.3 update...

and anyway you can't downgrade back to 2.2 from 2.3 using a RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaphodbeeb:
Hi,

thanks for the info. Would the desire not need to be restored back as supplied/latest o2 rom, or are they happy with th HTC install?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Nah, it's either the RUU for your network provider (and has to be the latest since you can't go backwards in versions) or the 2.3 Update... and from what I could understand you had some trouble using that so the 2.3 update was the next logical step forward :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzmeoo:
Thanks for the tip bortak, but I did it before after reading this thread and it didn't worked for me. I am stuck on the same problem - Sense ROMs works but AOSP after first reboot don't, and I really like the simplicity and speed of AOSP :confused:.

Right now I am using CMW-AlphaRev Recovery v2.5.1.8, what do you recommned?:

- downgrade back to Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (as I tried this only with S-ON)

- use ammon-ra

- update to Clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0

- or maybe some other ideas :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
err.. Well this is strange :/

S-OFF using revolutionary, do a full format through fastboot (this does require you to have fastboot setup, but there's some fastboot troubleshooting on my guide too)

so:

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata (either userdata or data can never remember which)
fastboot erase cache

Then flash Amon-Ra recovery

Wipe dalvic-cache

flash an AOSP ROM
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AANNDDRROOIIDD:
Hi all, I've got some issues with my Desire.

I've got a Telus Desire, PVT3, S-ON, H-Boot 0.93.0001

I got this phone cheap knowing it wasn't booting up hoping I could figure out how to get it going.

When I press the power button, the phone will buzz a few times and stay stuck on the white HTC screen.

If I power on with vol down+power and get into the bootloader I can't get into recovery, it just buzzes a few times and gets stuck on the htc screen again.

I tried using the latest Telus RUU, but I get a USB connection error.

I tried troubleshooting issue #7 first and extracted the rom.zip from the Telus RUU and renamed it, put it on the sd and put it back in the phone. It seemed like it started to load and went through, but it just went back to the bootloader after "checking" and I still couldn't boot into anything.

Then I tried troubleshooting issue #2 for S-ON phones, but since I couldn't connect via usb I put the rom.zip from the WWE RUU on the goldcard I made and renamed it, and it did the same thing, looked like it loaded, but just went back to the bootloader.

I'm not sure what else I can try, so any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
vibrates a couple times? Might be water damage, if you take out the battery you should be able to see (on the circuit board) through the gaps some white stickers.. if they've gone pink its got water damage..

you COULD try another thing because maybe your goldcard just doesn't work.. download the 2.3.3 RUU (link in #resources), extract the rom.zip and rename it to PB99IMG and try it with that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AANNDDRROOIIDD:
Ok, thanks I'm just at work I'll take a look when I'm home.

I did replace the LCD, but I don't remember seeing any of the strips turned red, and it didn't look like there was any corrosion on the board.

Would the PB99IMG.zip show that it's loading at all if the goldcard wasn't working or is there some kind of error displayed?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
If there's a file named PB99IMG.zip on your sd-card it will always check for it and ask if you want to update (from what I know anyway)..

can't really think of much else that you could do... actually when you ran the RUU and got the connection error, did you boot into HBOOT USB or FASTBOOT USB? you have to be in FASTBOOT mode.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AANNDDRROOIIDD:
Yeah when I ran the RUU I was in Fastboot USB. When I put the PB99IMG file it see's it and reads it, but doesn't do anything with it. It vibrates when it's checking it.

I appreciate the help though, and great job on the guide, it should help out lots of people!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Which RUU did you try? You do realise you need to use the 2.3.3 RUU and nothing else
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ololo11:
I try 2.3.3 several times but always hangs. In the Fastboot only "checking" and nothing else (from sdcard 2.3.3 PB99IMG.zip).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
How did you try it? Via PC or PB99IMG?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ololo11:
Via PC and sdcard and directly from adb shell in recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Err you sure you're doing it right?

Poweroff, hold BACK and POWER. Plug in via USB, then run the RUU from PC
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ololo11:
I think yes , because RUU is working rebooting bootloader next sending (Updating Signature .....) but on 2.3.3 always show ERROR 155 . In RUU log :

writing'zip' and next

FAILED (remote : signature verify fail)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
This doesn't make sense :s

Alright try this, make a goldcard, S-OFF with revolutionary, then look at my guide and follow [8] method 2, then use the 2.2 WWE RUU. Should work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ololo11:
I can't do S-OFF because I have only recovery working. I don't have working image and can't flash any image. Also have bad blocks in system and data partition. Desire hangs when I want flash any image .(I have bad blocks in system and data). Can I make S-OFF only with working recovery ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Try to fakeflash recovery 2.5.0.7 (zipped version), then wipe everything from \mounts & storage, then try to flash a rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Have you tried the PB99IMG method?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ololo11:
First I try RUU 2.3, because it create logs.

Logs from RUU :

writing zip ... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

but from fastboot (unpacked 2.3) :

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

sending 'userdata' (2 KB)... OKAY [ 0.015s]

writing 'userdata'... OKAY [ 1.123s]

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash system system.img

sending 'system' (244868 KB)... FAILED (remote: data length is too large)

finished. total time: 0.005s

system.img is too large ? (maybe because I have bad blocks on system ?)

Method PB99IMG from sdcard not working. Reading the file and next back to menu.

Last idea is flash HBOOT to 1.02 and send to service.

Hi,

please help. Yesterday my phone just started to reboot itself and keept doing it on and on. I cleared storage and I tried to reinstall the rom but I received only error messages about my sd card, so I thought I have an usb brick? I'm not sure. I have tried to load the stock rom again with every possible way, the sdcard way but after checking the image it just returns to the menu. When I try to load it from the pc I receive a strange message- see the attached pic.

My device is rooted, clockwork 2507, Bravo pvt4 ship s-on, hboot 0.93.0001, microp-051d an off course not branded. 2 weeks ago I got my phone back from service with a new motherboard and a new warranty. Now I cannot send it back because I cannot unroot the phone.

I'm downloading the one from your link but I think that is the same one that I already have.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong when connecting my phone to the pc before I run the ruu.exe? I boot into bootloader with vol down and power, then fastboot and then I got stuck

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Look I told you to try number [13] first for a reason, so you don't have to risk using a RUU since things can get messed up.

Try it from PC a couple times and if it doesn't work try the 2.3.3 Gingerbread RUU, maybe it'll fix it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Okay if that didn't work I actually do not know anymore how I can help.. that's pretty much all you can try lol (as far as my knowledge spans anyway), if you manage to get a fix for it make sure you post though...

By the way if your bootloader was updated to 1.02 and S-ON, even if it doesn't boot you're covered by warranty so you can send it to HTC and they should fix it for you.. just make up a story saying you tried to update and it broke.

Have the Desire S

Android version: 2.3.3

HTC Sense version: 2.1

Software number: 1.28.401.1

S-OFF

And installed this:

Found in this forum

For now, I also do not have access to the "recovery" because it turns in a black screen with that warning triangle.

And the phone freezes on the white screen with HTC logo. Does somebody can help?!

PS: I already tryed the androidflasher to recovery, but it turned irresponsive on my pc.

Since you're S-OFF it's just a matter of flashing recovery, use a different method of flashing recovery, there is a whole section on that. Then flash a ROM.
