Edit: this appears to have been an issue with my USB cable. Thanks anyway to kotag82 for all his help.

I am trying to unroot my desire because the power button is broken and I need to send it in for warranty. I currently have CM7 installed, with the Bravo CM7 r2 HBOOT from AlphaRev.

I am trying to flash the stock desire HBOOT but I get this error:

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
finished. total time: 0.001s

I have checked the MD5 of the .img

I don't know what to do next.

Thanks

Edit: also the RUU can't see my phone. I assumed that was because I'm not using Sense so HTC Sync doesn't connect, but it may be relevant.

Did you try to flash downgrade first, cm7/r2 has protection
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaphal:
I did not, please could you point me in the right direction? I have never heard of that before.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
It has protection(RUU can't overwrite it) download downgrader from alpharev: first flash it reboot and flash stock one

Edit... sorry you can do it without downgrader my bad...

did you try fastboot devices?

Hi try this stock hboot, stock.img inside
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaphal:
Is this more likely to work than the stock hboot on http://alpharev.nl/ ?

I'm slightly hesitant about flashing something I don't know where its from..

Edit, its MD5 is identical. I tried it anyway but I had the same message. "sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
this was downloaded from alpharev ages ago, i flashed it 1 hour ago... everything ok, i just renamed it because of im lazy to type it all...and im using rmd recovery too to flash it... see my signature, there is an option flash image in recovery menu... try to flash your original from alpharev to see if it is working... if not try mine... btw it looks like your file is corrupted
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaphal:
I did have a go with it, but had the same trouble. I don't think my download is corrupted because the MD5 matches what it shows on the alpharev website.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
have you tried pb99img.zip method?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaphal:
Ok, I tried with another USB cable and this time was successful. I don't know if that is coincidence or not but I'm happy with it. Hopefully the RUU will work once I restore Sense from nandroid.

trying to switch partition tables on HTC desire GSM

Hi all - I've got a similar problem to that which was discussed here.

In my case I've been using my HTC desire with cyanogenmod7 BRAVO N1table partition for nearly a year now. Lately I'm noticing I am running out of space with my huge app appetite so I thought I would change the partition table to the BRAVO cm7r2 (which was not around when I first reset the partition table).

I managed to get fastboot working on my ubuntu 11.10 machine after some strife but I am stuck when it comes to flashing the hboot .img file with fastboot.

I followed the instructions on alpharev.nl and various other sites to no avail...

when I run the command:

fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img

the response i get from the terminal is:

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

I am sadly quite a n00b when it comes to this stuff and really don't know how to interpret this message... I tried the bravo_downgrade.img file with fastboot flash hboot in a similar fashion and got the exact same error message

I hope the question makes sense and I've not been too verbose...

for further info, on my phone i see the following when I'm in HBOOT USB PLUG mode, from the top:

AlphaRev N1Table

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.93.1000

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

something is wrong but try pb99200.zip method, place it in root of your sdcard and start the phone vol- and power buttons together
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlancelot:
Sorry forgot to mention - I did try the PB99IMG.zip method... I put it in the root of the SDcard as per the alpharev and your instructions.. I get the error:

CID incorrect!

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

<VOL UP> Yes

<VOL DOWN> No

I read up on this a bit too and I'm having trouble understanding exactly what the error means but it seems I may need to use a GoldCard? Just researching those now... perhaps I will try to make one.

Is there any possibility that my ubuntu fastboot is not working as normal? I have windows 7 dual booted so I thought next I might try running fastboot from there as it seems there is more support for windows in general... could I use a program like androidflasher to flash partition table changes?

Thanks for your super speedy reply!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
i think golcard is needed i can't confirm as all my sdcard are goldcards

yes you can try android flasher or you can try that via RMD recovery flash image section there just put your image file on sdcard
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bingley:
I just had this problem after flashing cm7r2, but only because I was silly and did these steps in the wrong order:

4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

5) 'fastboot erase cache'

Follow the above after fastboot flash hboot image.img and you should be fine :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugar-Danny:
Hi,

I got a galaxy tab 10.1, wifi only version there a few Weeks back. First thing I did was update to 3.2.

It had been going fine until this morning, I was browsing the internet on dolphin hd and the screen went black, the tab looks to have frozen. I've tried holding power button, and power + volume down button with no luck.

The weird thing is every time I hold the power button down the camera led starts flashing every second or 2 as if it was taking pictures. Other than that there's no response at all from it. The camera led also blinks when it it plugged in so I've plugged it into my ps3 to keep the led blinking until the tab runs out of battery in the hope that it'll start up fine again afterwards. Anyone else have any idea what to do?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugar-Danny:
Anybody seen this before? Or have an idea of how long this will take to run out of battery even?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugar-Danny:
It randomly came on there now. I had it plugged in for a while then the screen came up that it was charging, then I turned it on with the power button and the samsung logo etc all came up, then went black. it's off again now. no response at all from the tab now, no camera flashes or anything
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkydudey101:
Im having this same issue, have you found a solution to this yet? Worked fine last night left it charging all night now i just get the camera led flashing every 2 second when i press the power button
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lars2009:
I have been getting questions from people on whether they should use some kind of Antivirus software on there Android device. I thought I should just post it out here and let all the experts chime in with an opinion. Personally I haven't used anything since the first day I got my Glacier.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
I think it would depend on the person. I flash a new ROM fairly often, wiping my phone before I do it, and don't have many apps. So personally I don't use one. Some people keep the same ROM for months or years, have tons of apps and download a lot of files - music, games, videos, etc. These people probably should use an antivirus. Those are the extremes.

If you don't do any banking, bill paying, or other things involving sensetive information I don't see a need either. My 2 cents.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
*unix based systems, such as Linux Computers/Apple & iOS/Androids are very hard to write a true virus for. Since the information is stored in such a way a virus really cannot do anything harmful.

With that being said MalWare does run amuck on these devices. It might be worth looking into solely for that fact. Like LookOut or Avast. But if you never see a warning for viruses don't be surprised.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnoldmoreno:
Same ROM no online banking

I've had the same ROM for a while and don't do any online banking on my Android devices.

I guess it would depend on how much you use the Unknown Sources feature ;) and where you browse.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I don't think there is any browser attack in existence on Android. These programs are mostly used for preventing malware installation, and if you know what you're installing - you shouldn't ever need antivirus. There are no "viruses" per se known so far, AFAIK, only malware.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lars2009:
Thanks

Thanks for everyone's input. I finally installed Avast on mine just to get a feel for it, being that I am flashing new Rom's on it so often, it won't last long.....

Hey Guys,

i m searching for a kernel who support BLN for i9001. I m from germany and cant find something in the internet =( please help me =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintel_mac:
There is none yet. manveru0 tried to port this mod to our device but he did not get it to work yet, the device only froze.
[HTC EVO 3D] lrrowley:
This seems to be more of a software issue than a hardware issue. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the kernel as well but I'm not sure...

Anyway the touchscreen on my rooted Evo 3D with hboot 1.50 is acting up. Sometimes it completely freezes up, and other times when I try and press different parts of the screen, like the the app drawer it just doesn't register. When it freezes up it also affects the soft buttons at the bottom of the phone.

I've tried wiping it several times, and I've also tried this across several different roms, even nandroids, and it is still causing problems.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Try calibrating your screen threw settings to see if that helps.

Locked & Loaded

""shooter on Deck""
[HTC EVO 3D] lrrowley:
I had that thought too but it still didn't work. I should also mention that the only way to "fix" the screen temporarily is to hit the power button and then hit it again to wake it back up. It usually does the trick... for a little bit. Also sometimes it just goes berserk and start pressing things without me even touching the screen
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
Are you running any kind of lockscreen program such as widgetlocker? I had similar problems when doing so, all issues stopped when I uninstalled.

Think it's the Digitizer...

I have the same problem with an Evo3D hboot 1.5 also. It is rooted (ship s-on) I've had the phone for about 4 months, taken good care of it, and thus thought this bug was a software issue as well...

This is what I've tried:

-Factory Data Reset

-Restore Backup partition to original ROM

-Tried different ROMs (sense3.0, olympian xe, sicksense vX)

-Deleted and reformatted SD card

-Leaving SD card unmounted

It seems to be a popular issue, and after searching the CDMA Development forums I have found at least two other threads on the same topic here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1398048

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1383707

I don't have insurance, and rooting hboot1.5 is not reversible, for it is permanently recorded on the bootloader, so I'm assuming that my local Sprint representative will be of little help in the matter. From what I can find it would seem that our options are limited to:

A.) Replacing the Digitizer/LCD assembly. Looks like this runs between $70-$120. Here is a solid video on YouTube demonstrating how to remove and replace the Digitizer/LCD:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suS34kNNuLo

B.) Replace the Digitizer only. From what I've gathered this is a risky maneuver which is best left to professionals with the *right* equipment, however is a much cheaper option, Digitizers are around $20.

I left a message with a local cell repair shop asking if they could replace the digitizer without a new LCD, and expect a response tomorrow probably.

Unless anybody has found an alternate cause/solution to this problem, which I would be eternally grateful for, looks like hardware replacement is the only solution.:mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
2 questions one are you guys using screen protectors some of them will cause issues crazy ones from random clicking to unresponsive screen . Also are you using your phone out in the cold weather or really humid out ? A cold screen and hot hands will also wig it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] root3dnoob:
I have a Zagg screen protector, which Radioshack carries for numerous phones; however it was installed when I bought the phone, four months ago, therefore I cannot imagine it would suddenly be the problem.

Also, the screen glitches at room temperature, at the most unfortunate times.

I just flashed Timat Kernels, with no results....
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I have a zagg on mine I put on no issues for me. How do you carry your phone ? Do you tote it around in your back pocket? Just curious. Some folks have squished there phone sitting on them and messed up the screens. Not sayin you did that . Also folks carry in pocket on hot summer days and sweat gets inside the unit and messes with it.

Also is your phone brand new or a refurbished unit?
[HTC EVO 3D] root3dnoob:
The phone is a new unit and I try to be conscious of high-moisture situations, so hopefully that is not to blame. If anything, excessive pressure may have been the cause, from a vacuum-sealed Drycase; but I'm hoping HTC's build quality would withstand such force, which should be minimal compared to being sat on.

Others are experiencing issues with the E3D digitizer, and I'm 90% sure my phone is not misbehaving from physical/moisture damage.

Is there a moisture damage indicator that can confirm/dismiss that theory?

Thanks for the suggestions
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Check the battery it has a sticker that will turn a solid color if it seen some water or high humidity. Also I think there is one inside the phone.

I have in the pass seen evo's that were refurbs or new units that were sat on the refurbs glass wasn't glued well and moisture got under the glass and screwed the screen up with random issues. New phones can have the same issues I guess if you really put pressure to it tho there sealed pretty well.

If the Digitizer was going bad from pressure your screen would have faint black lines going down it kinda like graph paper.

I have my phone in a trident kraken case it's been doing good so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] root3dnoob:
After hours of research, countless nandroid wipes, and even a few ROMs, I have determined this to be a hardware issue! (at least in my case)

Much thanks to Landon4444 for providing a way to test for a lame digitizer

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20791773&postcount=40​

Here's how to check if this issue is result of a faulty/worn digitizer:

In the phone dial exactly *#*#3424#*#* to access the HTC diagnostic menu.

Choose line test from available options, screen will turn black.

Draw small test squiggle.

Hold phone by corners with fingers/thumbs (landscape).

Gently, twist phone torsional-ly. *GENTLY!*

In my case, certain slight torque creates a false contact in the upper-middle of my screen. Fortunately twisting slightly in the opposite direction HAS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. (that was easy) However, I would not expect this tactic to work for long, and am looking into getting the digitizer replaced at the cell shop.

Evo 3d help guys!!

Okay so I just got a raise and an Evo 3D part of my boss's incentive package. (I know I have a great boss!!) but anyway its been less than a month and I haven't purchased any of the screen protector stuff or case. It is now 17 degrees in New York and I'll just drop the phone in my pocket while walking but yesterday at the beginning of a date the parking meter wouldn't take my money and upon trying to use my phone it started dialing it's own numbers and wouldn't let me enter any of the numbers for my code (to unlock). *Mind you my date kept telling me all night "Its a sign that you need the iphone" and I totally like the HTC 3D.I tried calibrating **BY THE WAY IT'S NOT ROOTED YETTT* but the only options your given is the GSensor Calibration. I've noticed that after I enter a warm area the phone starts working fine again. I've never had a smartphone and I think,upon finally getting one, that's it's totally ridiculous that the phone stops working because of the weather. At this point I think I have a faulty phone and am gonna return it to only get another 3D,but has anyone heard of this issue and if so how can I fix it. I mean like what if I had a car accident or an emergency and my "smartphone" starts acting up because of the weather???

Hey guys...I put this post up a few days ago and still haven't received a response. my timing to retunr the phone is running short so I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP PLEASE!!...Is this a normal circumstance that my phone is going through? if not I'll return it and get another one.

I am very much interested in ICS ROM, but one basic question:

If the Radio is not good for my region,esp. the voice clarity thing, and I wish to revert back to the GB ROM with the current RADIO which is on my sensation....would the Nandroid thing work on it???? Or anyway to download the radio which is currently there in my sensation...if yes, How do i find out the Radio for my sensation??

Someone please guide me...
[HTC Sensation] Deleted member 4219121:
I was flashing ICS ROM yestarday, but things didn't go right. Restored NAND and everything is working, and i still have back my old radio.
[HTC Sensation] hockeystar711:
I have seen a few reports of going back to a GB ROM over in the InsertCoin thread, so it would seem like reverting back would be an option. It would also depend on whether or not you did the full process of upgrading to an ICS ROM including updating the firmware, because I believe 4.0.1 can be run on the original firmware but 4.0.3 you must update it. According to what I have seen regarding InsertCoin anyways.

Also, I want to say that you can find your radio information if you boot into hboot. (Take battery out, hold VOL down and power). Not 100% sure though, I usually just use it to hop into recovery.

Hope I helped :)
[HTC Sensation] jdelforge5684:
I flip flopped a couple times now, just make sure u reflash gb firmware if u upgraded for ics, and always use the radio reccomended with the rom. I've had no issues.

[HTC Sensation] madigan311:
Flashing a rom or backup doesnt change your radio. You have to go through your bootloader for that. I havent heard any bad news about going back to GB as long as older 10.xx radios are flashed as well. And people have actually gone back succesfully while keeping newer firmware and hboot. And by people i mean me lol. I have a insertcoin GB 3.4.5 backup on tap i use regularly cuz we all know ICS is still learning how to walk on our sensations
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Did you flash the radio separately? I am having the problem now as I did a NAND restore to GB, but the radio is still 11.xx...I think the battery is draining more with it. So I want to revert the radio back...but how did you do that? Just flash the radio? I flashed the recent firmware from December in HBOOT and even though it says the custom radio was flashed, the radio still says 11.xx

please let me know
[HTC Sensation] madigan311:
You can flash a radio through hboot screen just like you did with ICS firmware. Im not sure but i dont think the firmware zip from the dec tmo ota had radio included as all radios are rolled up in a thread in the dev section. Theres a radio flashing guide somwhere too
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Thanks..I just flashed the radio and it worked. BTW, which GB ROM is good and stable? I am considering trying it out while wait for ICS to finalized. You mentioned the insert coin?

you could try this one :D

by far it's the rom which i consider stable and have a good design.:p

Just wondering if you had problems with the Lock Screen display with the 3.4.5 insertcoin? I tried it, and somehow the lock screen won't display the icons..even when it's turned on from the settings
