Desire 500 stuck on update logo

Hi everyone,

Unfortuntately my phone died today after trying to install OTA update. Phone restarted, entered in update mode, it shows the update logo and the yellow bar full, but it`s stuck. After 2 hours it is the same. Can't get it out, nothing helps. I searched all forums but can't find something related to my issue. Would someone be so kind to help me. I also noticed that my PC doesn't recognise if i connect it... does someone know any application to access phone via pc?
[HTC Desire 500] Fliwatt:
Is your bootloader still locked?

I mean locked, not relocked.

Fliwatt
[HTC Desire 500] szilard2009:
Hi

Device was never rooted, bootloader and everything is stock, it only was unlocked with network unlock code.
[HTC Desire 500] stirifin:
Hy. I have just updated my htc too. It stucked after update. What i did , was that i pulled the baterry out and restarted. Then it worked. Hope this will help you.
[HTC Desire 500] szilard2009:
Hi,

Thank you for the reply but no luck with that either, already tried hard reset, everything, left it charging, computer doesn't recognise it, nothing.... The only thing it does it to turn on and show the update logo, yellow bar runs to full, stops and that`s all :(
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
Install twrp or cwm, then follow fliwatt's tutorial about getting back to stock, then follow the tutorial earlier in this thread about installing the update
[HTC Desire 500] szilard2009:
Once started it only can be turned off only by removing the battery, then again, pressing the power button + volume down will only get back into update mode. That's the problem, i can`t do anything with it, no recovery mode no nothing, just update mode/logo, freeze, that's all.
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
Ay, this smells like hardbrick... Srry dude, can't help you. Did you try 'adb shell'?
[HTC Desire 500] szilard2009:
no because pc doesn`t recognise it, not even as unknown device, more than charging it doesn`t do anything. not even windows sound of some connection or anything..but still thanks for the tip. i`ll will try to force some connection.
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
Hmm, my computer never recognizes my phone, but I can still use adb. Just type 'adb shell', it might work
[HTC Desire 500] Fliwatt:
I would suggest you to send the phone to the HTC Support, they cant do anything more than return it.

The problem is that you already unlocked your bootloader but unlocking the bootloader does not result in a loss of warranty.

The HTC Support will only refuse the repairing if the brick is caused by unlocking the bootloader and the resulting oppurtunities to break your phone, which is obviously not the case here.

You can, of course, have bad luck but you can at least try.

I already read in another thread of many HTC One X being repaired with a relocked bootloader.

Also this thread on a german board is about a HTC Support chat where the guy describes it very good:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...sst-garantie-vermutlich-nicht-unberuehrt.html

I just translated one sentence for you:

"Die Garantie erlischt dann, wenn Sie "Veränderungen am Telefon" vornehmen. In diesem Falle, wenn Sie eine angepasste Version des Betriebssystem oder ein anderes Betriebssystem aufspielen. Das entsichern des Bootloaders hat jedoch kein Einfluss auf die Garantie bei einem defekten Lautsprecher." - The warranty voids when you apply "changes to the phone". So if you install a modified or different OS. But unlocking the bootloader does not result in a loss of warranty when the speaker is broken.

I hope that I could help you

Good Luck

[HTC Desire 500] szilard2009:
HI Fliwatt,

Thank you for your help, if unlocking network lock with network code unlocks the bootloader, then probably the bootloader is unlocked. Unfortunately in live in Romania and to be honest I don't think there is an official HTC service center. Other thing I remembered is the fact that with RUU you may recover even "Dead" phone, as long as it starts.. does anyone know of existence of RUU for HTC desire 500?
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
Not as far as I know
[HTC Desire 500] Fliwatt:
He szilard,

I would just recommend you to return your phone to where you bought it,

with the receipt of course. I think that there is a service center in Bucarest, your store will probably send it to them.

Fliwatt

PS:

Romania is great, I travelled there 2 years ago and just love this country :)

Thank you Fliwatt, I did bring my phone to HTC service (one authorised, not dedicated, we don't seem to have one) and they will repair it in warranty apparently. Then again, if someone installs the update, please provide a feedback so I may try again, probably this time I`ll have more luck :)

[HTC Desire 500] GreatEmerald:
What are you people talking about, anyway? So there apparently was an update, but I am yet to see anyone commenting on what it brings (probably not KitKat?). And now some people are upset about HTC for some reason?..

The phone I maintain is still running 1.20 (it typically doesn't connect to the internet and it's all stock) and so far I don't see a need to update to anything. Until there are changes to be able to disable the audio volume lowering on headphones, that is.

(hes now lasts those hours, before repair he lasted only 4 hours a day) and i dont get it, he has to last only one day with normal use? or he has to last for two ? cause it annoys me (charging him every day)
[HTC Desire 500] davemusic12:
I (sometimes) found that I couldn't use adb under windows because I needed windows to recognise the usb connection.

I researched further....... under some circumstances (dunno why) device changes it's usb VID/UID so - it's no longer an "HTC product".

However, booting a linux machine and using adb from linux (as root) permitted me to "see" the device. I think this is coz windows installs usb drivers when u plug a device in and it's unrecognized - windows then searches for a specific device driver based on the VID/UID thing. But Linux doesn't - it's already got a vanilla usb driver that's happy to talk to anything.

Hello again,

I found the thread below and I think that is what you mean in your post. Right ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600294

Because I didn't understand very well, is this "kernel" compatible with latest HTC software 1.32.401.1 or I have to wait ?

Yes that's it. Only there's a little problem with the SD card. But everything works.
[HTC Desire 500] MobilePerson:
Do you know what exactly is the problem with SD card ? I have read that is read only. Does it mean that I cannot use it ? I ask because I have installed programs and photos on it.
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
The kernel in the thread is based on 1.20. If you install the ota upgrade, you install kernel version 1.32 (I think). So if you go back to 1.20 (with kangbang) you break the autosave apps to sd, because it relies on version 1.32
[HTC Desire 500] ufonek:
Kernel version is 3.4.0. I think it has nothing to do with the ROM version.
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
3.4.0 is only the version on which the kernel is based
[HTC Desire 500] GreatEmerald:
3.4.0 is the Linux kernel version. Custom kernel versions are what is called a local version (different local versions means different options selected in the kernel, but not different kernel versions altogether). The full version string (which is what you see in "uname -r") thus should be "3.4.0-1.20" or such.
[HTC Desire 500] ufonek:
After entering the command uname-r, the result 3.4.0-g7344ab7.dirty. How do I know which version of the system is designed.
[HTC Desire 500] GreatEmerald:
Which kernel is this, stock or custom?

The "gXXXXXXX" part (without the "g" letter itself) is the git commit number. If you have access to the kernel's git source tree (custom kernels usually do have that) then by using it you can find whether it's the latest version or some older one (and also what changes were made in between if it's old).

Also, if it's a custom kernel, then you should ask the kernel compiler person to set the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION variable to properly reflect their versioning scheme in order to prevent confusion in the future.
[HTC Desire 500] Fliwatt:
The source for the KangBang Kernel is not available, take a look at the last page of the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600294&page=6

[HTC Desire 500] GreatEmerald:

[HTC Desire 500] Fliwatt:
Well, thats not 100 percently correct, the official Kernel Source is available here:

Stock recovery problem

Dear all

Hello to everybody, I write because i am registering a strange problem with our device...

I have a new untouched device locked and all stock (as purchased).

I want to flash OTA updates via original stock recovery but when I try to access (volume down + power > recovery > power) i see htc logo for few seconds and after device reboots normally.

It seems that I have no recovery installed, is this possible on a locked s-on phone :confused: ???

Thanks to all.

Thanks for quick reply..

I will try to reset the phone.

I tried to install OTA with fastboot commands as described in previous thread but i received an error and nothing happens, maybe the problem was caused by this attempt.

Now I will try to flash through recovery (if recovery come back)...

Thanks again:good:

Is it possible to flash stock recovery without s-off?
[HTC Desire 500] Fliwatt:
S-OFF has nothing to do with flashing a custom recovery,

your bootlaoder needs to be unlocked in order to flash a custom recovery.

But before breaking your warranty, I would recommend you to try disabling fastboot, you can disable this option in the settings in the power menu.
