[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadicnn:
Hi,

My HTC DESIRE is stuck on black screen with HTC logo and /!\ in the 4 corners after i tried to upgrade to Android 2.3 with the RUU downloaded from HTC web site (htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads). The upgrade looks like it run correctly but at the end I have the following error :

ERROR [152] : IMAGE UPDATE ERROR

The ROM update utility cannot update your Android Phone

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

After recovery when i remove the USB cable i have the following screen on my DESIRE:

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

actually the problem is they s-on my phone and in your troubleshoot i need a goldcard and how am i going to create a gold card if i cant access my phone anymore.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
ur stuck in ruu mode. u can still run the 2.3. or create a goldcard and use the latest wwe ruu. like stankyou says its the same as fastboot

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genetial:
but how am i going to create a goldcard? i cant even run my phone? the procedure of creating the goldcard is you should be running the android OS.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

and yes! your right about the RUU mode im stuck in that mode. i've tried to run the 2.3 but no luck. my only hope is the goldcard but the procedure is you need to be inside the android. my question is? will this work using other android phone? i have a galaxy s3 so im just wondering if i can use it to create goldcard? if it is i need to by a 2gb kingston card. what is exactly is goldcard? how will this goldcard can help me?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
yes u can create a goldcard by putting ur sdcard in another phone. get the goldcard tool from resourses in bortaks guide and all the goldcard does is bypass the cid check in the ruu if ur phone is branded. o2 etc

lol ok. let us know if u get it working

edit: before u tried the 2.3 gb upgrade did u flash the alpharev downgrader.img?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genetial:
i did! but it failed, because i cant go to the fastboot mode in my cellphone no back or volume +/- + power mode. stuck with htc screen only.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
but the black screen technicaly is the same as fastboot. u can still send fastboot commands. google Alpharev and download the bravo_downgrade.img (if u dont still have it), put the bravo_downgrade.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer then plug in ur phone while its on black screen /!\ and open up fastboot command window and type this command -

fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_downgrade.img

it should work, then run the 2.3 gb upgrade again. u dont need a goldcard with that coz its for all htc desire bravo, brand, region etc etc.

according to this link that you give me: http://androidforums.com/desire-all...boot-windows-updated-1st-june-2011-a.html#”3”

you can only use the fastboot if your in s-off. but my phone is s-on, may be thats why its not working.

ooh ur s-on. yh if 2.3 didnt work then ul need to make goldcard and try the wwe ruu, all u need is in bortaks guide

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genetial:
the reason that my phone is like this is i rooted my phone and its s-off i follow the unrevoked root. then i have install 4ext from the market which ruined my recovery. then my friend told me to install my old ruu again but it becomes worst. after that i have this blackscreen with HTC logo and im sure its still in s-off but after i bring it to the service center it became s-on again if this is an s-off the problem is solve already stupid htc service center.

i have used 2gb kingstone. and follow everything that is in your SIG but no luck. tommorow i will have this phone J-tag
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hans moleman:
Is your phone locked to a particular carrier like say vodafone UK? If so try to find your carrier's ruu and flash that. That should get round the CID error. You don't need a goldcard to do this (sounds like your goldcard is not working anyway).

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo

It's not that you phones CID is invalid it just does not match the CID of the RUU you are trying to flash.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genetial:
no my phone is unlock it doesn't have a carrier. and my RUU version is 2.13.707.2 and i cant find that RUU in any site. even in shipped rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hans moleman:
You don't need the same version RUU, you can use a higher version number. You just need to find an RUU with a CID that matches your phone. If you don't know the CID of your phone you will need a goldcard and then you can flash any RUU. I would try to make the goldcard again using a different sd card because some sd cards don't make good goldcards (for some reason).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genetial:
my sd's CID is 00c20047b32f290947323041534d5402 its already reverse how am i going to know if my CID is compatible with the RUU im using?

---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 AM ----------

and if i make a gold card should i use my htc desire or i can do it with other android phone?

---------- Post added at 07:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

and i get an error radio_vz - fail-pu my radio is 05.17.05.23
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
When deciding whether the RUU is compatible you need to match the (a) CID given in the android-info.txt inside the RUU (b) The Phone CID not the sdcard CID

The gold card can be made in any phone. In fact you can make a gold card with just your laptop computer provided it has got inbulit card reader ports and not the external usb ports and some form of linux running.

Is it possible to get the default ringtones bundled with an htc Desire S and copy them to my computer? I'm about to install Cyanogenmod, but I'd like to be able to use ringtones from the default htc install like 'Funk' or 'Glass'. I tried to use 'adb shell' to get to the device's internal memory (where I suspect they are stored) and I got a list of the root directory but virtually everything is owned by the root user and cannot be read, so I can't seem to access them. :mad: Any way for me to do so? They're probably in the 'vendor' directory.

Ok i gotta add my two cents. Are you a freaking idiot? I came from tmobile to sprint 9 months ago. and sprint is byfar sooooooooooooooooo Superior to Tmobile in every aspect. I hope you enjoy there "4G Network" which is really just 3G on drugs. And also enjoy there data throttling after 2GB of use. And Also enjoy the Slow...sation. With its 768mb of RAM and its Qualcomm S3 Processor and lackluster GPU. You my friend are one smart cookie. Enjoy your downgraded device as well. Lmfao.

he is on their prepaid plan which is 5GB data (2g afterwards), unlimited text, and 100 voice minutes.

you cant assume tmobile sucks everywhere, its actually good in some places. such as in chicago. my cousin averages 5-10mbps.

though sprint sucks in chicago (at least most places i go to. average 50-750kbps). wimax is decent but connection isnt reliable and kills the battery.

im actually doing the same thing. im contemplating in switching to their prepaid plan (but still with a sgs2, possibly a note if it comes out). just makes sense for me. much cheaper but i still get faster data speeds. id never go over 5gb as im usually on wifi but when im out and about, i need some sort of good connection.

dont use voice too much and voip might me a solution (gonna try it out for a month before i cancel sprint)

no need to hate on the guy, it is somewhat relevant as he switched from e4gt to another phone.

By the number of posts without signatures I see on XDA by people with more than 8 posts I think this is needed. :D

A signature should inform others about your phone when you post a question.

A good signature will include information helpful to others beyond the direct target of the question/reply.

A great signature will inform the community with important information and potentially answer questions which have not been asked yet, avoiding repetitive posts.
