Help needed

Well friends, I have a problem on my Desire.

When I connect it to my PC, it takes time to acknowledge that he was connected.

The device does not offer me the option to charge, sync, USB Storage, ...

On the PC side, windows tells me that this is a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM and not my Desire.

USB\VID_05C6&PID_9002&REV_0000&MI_00

USB\VID_05C6&PID_9002&REV_0000&MI_01

USB\VID_05C6&PID_9002&REV_0000&MI_02

He is recognized only when in bootloader mode or fastboot.

I can not get the USB debugging work.

fastboot oem command dosn´t restore USB function.

Bluetooth also does not work as well as FM radio.

I can not make the root of it because windows does not recognize it as HTC Desire.

Any suggestions?

Can I root it going into fastboot mode?

If youre using virtual machine try reconnecting the phone in the the vm
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
No I am not using a virtual Machine
[Desire Android Development] :
I'm back

Well, I finally managed to retrieve my phone.

The key was to rewrite the partition misc.

From then on bluetooth, USB and FM back in service.

Then I got to the root again.

hi all,

i've got a rooted desire running LeeDrOid 2.4.1 with an ext3 partition. Quick System Info shows its works well (ext = 471Mb, free = 273Mb).

However when I'm in recovery (CWM 2.5.0.7) I can't mount the sd-ext, and thus the backup fails at that point.

How do I fix this?

I'm using GV right now and I want to unroot for warranty .. I downloaded HTC sync and installed it, plus I downloaded a RUU and the installation throu USB failed an said I should get the correct ROM update Utility !! What does that mean ? how can I get the right one ? thanx
[Desire Android Development] bortak:
I've got a question about unrooting with an RUU..

Im currently on Vodafone, and wanted to unroot my phone, however I don't know which RUU to use because I don't know whether the phone is branded or not - it doesn't have any vodafone "traits" such as software or a different boot screen, or any brand markings on it.

So would I use an unbranded RUU, or the vodafone UK one. I'm just thinking that if I used the unbranded one I wouldn't get OTA updates from vodafone. Any thoughts?

EDIT: never mind, found out that my phone's unbranded through cross checking baseband :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Careful, the radio you said you had in the other thread "5.11.05.27" comes with Vodafone and Unbranded RUU's, not to mention many others. This is not an indication of anything other than what radio you originally had.
[Desire Android Development] bortak:
HELP!!

OK, I've got my phone into a bit of trouble here. I tried to unroot my phone with this RUU (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release) and it failed, and I received Error 152

I tried the recovery process, which basically tries to install the RUU again with no avail.

My phone is stuck in Hboot which looks liek this:

AlphaRev CM7 r2

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

MICROP-015d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

Please Help! I'm like a fish out of water right now :(

Beer for the one who gets me out of this!

EDIT: Gonna try the HTC Europe RUU. The RUU utility told me something like to get the correct RUU - so I don't think I've messed it up too bad, just need to find the right one lol

EDIT: Think the new RUU is working - since it got further than the last one

EDIT: or maybe not... its staying on the HTC Logo.....

EDIT: Okay, well I managed to use fastboot to get recovery back, and im restoring my previous ROM - Fingers crossed

EDIT: yep, I fixed it.

sorry for the spam lol
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
fastboot flash the bravo stock hboot from alpharev,

Then format data, system and cache in cwm, connect in fastboot mode (from off hold back and power) and run the ruu again.

Let me know how you get on.
[Desire Android Development] bortak:
Yeah that's what I thought of when it failed to flash system - that I had the wrong Hboot (CM7 r2), so I'll try again. And the correct RUU must've been the HTC Europe one because that actualyl finished installation, was just stuck on HTC logo, but it was still S-OFF so managed to restore it.

Lol I got a bit scared when that happened cos that was the first time I tried restoring - obviously, and was in a new situation.
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Just to make sure I got it right. I have to send in my desires for some repairs (broken glass) and want to flash the stock ROM just to be sure. It's an unbranded Desire (just the first batch, got it as soon as it had been released in Europe).

At the moment im on CM HBOOT (0.93.1000). I also changed the radio probably. The original HBOOT was 0.80 or something.

First of all: I don't know which original RUU I have to flash. I can see 2 (3 if FroYo included) unbranded HTC RUUs here.

So is this correct:

- Flash downgrade from Alpharev

- Flash "Stock" HBOOT from AlphaRev

- Wipe everything

- Flash the correct RUU (which one? :-/ ) or connect phone to PC and run ruu exe?

Or is this also working, without changing HBOOT: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/ ??

Sorry, I really never did this before.
[Desire Android Development] JCreazy:
When you use the RUU to unroot, does it override the hboot and make it s-on again? I used alpharevx on hboot 1.06
[Desire Android Development] Popopinsel:
Same question here: I managed to unroot my Desire (which was S-OFF using Alpharev) to the neweset stock O2 (Germany) firmware which is a downloadable RUU from their website. Before starting the RUU I reverted Alpharevs HBOOT ("Bravo CM7 r2") back to "Bravo Stock", otherwise I would get an error from the RUU (error 110).

Unfortunately, even though now I got a stock O2 ROM, the HBOOT still says "--- AlphaRev ---" and "S-OFF" which is a nogo since I want to send in the device for RMA...

Any ideas on how to get back to stock HBOOT?

Edit: OK, I figured it out myself: I had to flash the extracted rom.zip (from to RUU file) as PB99IMG.zip and that did the trick! Now HBOOT is also back to stock.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I have a question regarding this process:

I've already made my GoldCard and successfully rooted with Unrevoked3 (both went way easier and faster than I had expected), but now I want to flash a custom ROM and I'm a bit stuck...

When I follow this process, I get to the second to last step ("Navigate to Flash zip from sdcard....") and it tells me "No zip found on sdcard". I don't see any steps covering how I'd select the ROM I want to install though? I'm trying to install the latest Oxygen ROM, currently it's on my PC with the name "update-oxygen-2.1.6-signed.zip".

As for my questions:

Do I copy this zip to the root of my SD card and then go through this process?

Do I have to rename the zip or can I leave it as is?

Do I need to change my HBoot version first? Currently on 0.93.

By the way, in case it isn't blatantly obvious, this is my first Android device. :D I've been reading up on this process for the last two months, searching for different ROMs trying to decide which one I wanted to use, but certain things (such as these questions) I haven't been able to find a clear answer to yet.

Edit: Nevermind, I actually missed something... Lol. I just found the steps I was looking for. :)
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
You copy the ROM to the root of your SD card, then in recovery you choose "Flash zip from SD Card" and it should be listed. You can leave it named as it is. You need to flash the Oxygen r2 HBOOT or Oxygen won't boot.

You need to S-Off your phone first though to flash HBOOTs. All info about that can be found here. http://alpharev.nl/
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Here's a funny story... Got Oxygen running without any issues a short while after posting that (see the 'edit' note), then last night I used the Alpharev 1.8 CD method to S-OFF my device. :) So, I guess I did it a bit backwards then, but it works.
[Desire Android Development] kancaras:
Please tell me if i need to plug in my phone to computer if i want to flash radio? i mean if my phone is rooted, is it enaugh to just flash the zip? im using CM 7 now and my radio ver is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 (baseband version). Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
That radio should be fine. If you are not S-OFF, you can only flash the zip via recovery.

If you are S-OFF< you should use fastboot flash which will involve USB connection.

reason for Radio flash via fastboot is 2-fold.

1) If you change your cache partition, you need to be aware that the radio.zip unpacks into cache so it must be att least 25MB free space.

2) Fastboot removes the requirement for an additional layer of software to go wrong (i.e recovery)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Regarding the R2 hboots, RUU's do not replace these due to them having "downgrade protection". There is a downgrader hboot to use to allow RUU's to overwrite them.
[Desire Android Development] kancaras:
Thanks. Worked great. I think it is safe to try because if cache isnt enaugh it wouldnt even extract it. But i checked cache size with some app i found on market.

Can't Root after fixing USB Brick

A few days ago, I had usb brick on my htc desire bravo S-Off, but it is already fixed using tutorial from :

http://xdaforums.com/show...8#post15120208.

But I have a new problem when I tried to re-rooting my Desire. It always failed on second boot while processing "uninstalling unrevoked3 system" after doing something in Hboot, there was a notification :

while booting process :

Verification error : Backup CID is missing

and after that my desire rebooting and was'nt rooted, but it still could enter to the homescreen after rebooting.

My current ROM is:

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed flashing from PB99IMG.zip before.

Hboot : 0.93.0001

Please help me to fiix my desire, thank you very much
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
The easiest fix for this is to use teppic74's downgrade, downgrade to an older RUU (2.1) and re-root.

Sure there are other options but often you end up doing this anyway
[Desire Android Development] Khalidmhamedi:
Desire reboot

Please help :confused:

I have a DESIRE witch reboots by itself 2 or 3 times a day

it's rooted, S-OFF and A2SD

I flashed it with many custom roms, works fine but the problem persists :mad:

Please can anyone tell me what is the problem?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
When does it reboot. When being used or when idle?

Idle: Probably the lowest voltage of the kernel is too low.

in use: 1) CPU frequency is too high for your device

2) Overheating, hardware issue.

Need to find out which one it is before going any further. If you are not overclocked and it happens when in use, it is probably hardware. May be best at that point to return it to stock with RUU and see if it keeps happening.
[Desire Android Development] Khalidmhamedi:
Thank you for replay ... no I Don't overclock it ... but do you think I can hope resolving this issue by changing the kernel?
[Desire Android Development] Khalidmhamedi:
and yes, it happens both in rebooting (sometimes it reboots twice) and in use
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You can try changing the kernel but its possibly a hardware issue if you're not overclocking.

I would take it back to stock with an RUU and see if the issue persists. if it does, return it.
[Desire Android Development] Khalidmhamedi:
ok, I'll try it ... THANK YOU FOR ALL :)
[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
Khaledmahmedi: did you remember to wipe data, cache and Dalvik-cache before flashing your ROM? Often, that's the root cause of bootloops in those who newly flashed ROMs. Also, what ROM & kernel are you using? Maybe SetCPU setting during screen-off is too low (below 245Mhz), and the kernel couldn't handle that, so it reboots by itself.
[Desire Android Development] Khalidmhamedi:
OK THANK'S ... trying
[Desire Android Development] s3rvus:
hi,

after installing the official "HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade" from developer.htc.com - how do i root my device again?

is it possible atm?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Nope

10char
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Perhaps wait and see if Unrevoked gets upgraded to cover this... I was still on 2.1 when I used it so I can't say anything for trying with 2.2 or 2.3.

However, IF it does get upgraded, it's not likely to happen too soon, so you might be better off starting with an earlier official ROM and upgrading unofficially from there.
[Desire Android Development] s3rvus:
so you think i can downgrade to an official 2.2 or 2.1 and then root again?
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Yeah, I'd say downgrade to 2.1 first (official ROMs can be found here if you don't already have it), then:

root (unrevoked3 works beautifully)

s-off if you like (AlphaRev is the safest here)

flash whatever custom ROM you want

Keep in mind that any official ROM you flash will overwrite the HBoot section of your phone, so if you were S-off or rooted, flashing an official HTC ROM will reset those to S-on and remove root access.
[Desire Android Development] s3rvus:
but the rom update utility doesn't allow downgrading official roms, dose it?

i get an error to "get the right ruu and try again"
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I'm not sure about that, I haven't tried to go back to an official ROM after a custom one... If you're sure you downloaded the correct official ROM for your phone, then I think someone else might need to help you here.

I've only had my Desire for about 3 weeks; while I have done a lot of reading in those 3 weeks, I definitely don't claim to know everything there is to know about Androids..
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
RUU ROM Upgrade Utility can only equal or newer the rom installed. its not a ROM Downgrade Utility.

Teppic74's Downgrae utility would downgrade 2.2 to 2.1, but it couldnt do this with the ARA build Hboot on 2.2, so probably wouldn't work on hboot 1.02 either.

Try it but doubt it works.
[Desire Android Development] s3rvus:
tried it.. got a "CID incorrect" error at reboot

maybe i have to wait for a new unrevoked3 release...
[Desire Android Development] BigMrB:
Yes you have to wait..
[Desire Android Development] s3rvus:
or would it help if make a goldcard?
[Desire Android Development] BigMrB:
From what I read no... But feel free to try!! :)
[Desire Android Development] Disreaction:
I tried that yesterday, didn't help. Guess we have to wait.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Teppic74 confirmed yesterday that his downgrader will not work.

First time rooting desire

Dear All

After HTC cheated with GB release I decided to flash custom ROM on my 4 months old UNBRANDED desire.

I understand that to flash a custom ROM we have to

a] Root the device

b] Install custom recovery console

c] And flash any custom ROM

But why and where S-Off procedure comes into picture ? Cause in some threads I read that only above 3 steps are required and in Many other threads they have mentioned S-Off at step c] and step d] will be flashing a ROM.

So does it depend on Froyo based ROM and GB based ROM ?

Please suggest me A stable GB ROM with New Htc Sense... and also please do let me know if i have to do S-Off for this..

Thannks in advance
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
you don't NEED s-off. Only if you want to change partition layouts or things like that. Its not necessary.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Well.... There's that, and for flashing custom boot animation. :D But yeah, other than that I agree, it's not really necessary.
[Desire Android Development] happy20b:
Great.. So even if I wan to flash HTC stock GB based ROMS i dont have to do it..

Please point me to some stable GB+new sense ROMS.. The main reason y i want to flash custom ROM is coz of New Sense and secondarily GB ;)

I went through ur signature link and i found that my hboot reads PVT4 and the NAND erase size is 20,000 and dont remember exactly about hboot version.. i guess 0.93 .. So any suggetion before rooting the device? I am going to use UnrEVOked method on windows machine.

Thanks..
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
S-on only stops changes to Android /system whilst android is running. With S-on, you can still flash to /system using recovery or adb push. You just can't add the bootanimation to system using a file explorer. Also most roms support data/local boot animations.

If you're erase size 20,000, you don't need to do anything special. If you're not on the ARA build mentioned in my root guide, its best to use unrevoked 3.21

Cant help with sense stuff as I dont use, sorry. Although if its stock, teppic74 did a rooted 2.3. I always recommended his 2.2 to people so no issue recommending his again.

I found that for flashing cm7 r2 hboot, cm7 hboot is required but in alpharev site i din find cm7 hboot, though i found it here http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=3879, do I really need to flash cm7 hboot first and then cm7 rc2 ?

I am planing to flash my first Custom ROM http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1016940. So final question

The above ROM requires

A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system - 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition

A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system - 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition

what do you mean by A2SD or A2SD+ here ? Are they same Hboot which r listed in alpharev.nl ?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Sorry, just trying to help.. No need to be ungrateful.

Its better you understand then you know what to do next. Look towards the end, there are steps needed for flashing roms, app recommendations and wiping and backup details.

If this still doesn't help then sorry, you're on your own.

Theres one method of S-off for GSM which is using Alpharev (choose NOT to install their recovery). Then use fastboot to flash the Hboot. If you had to flash the first CM7 hboot first, they would still have it available. I have a copy in the toolbox downloads thread in my sig though.

Once you S'off just fastboot flash the cm7 hboot if this is the one you need. I have an adb and fastboot faq in my sign also.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Just out of curiosity, why do you say that...? I left everything as default when I used it on my Desire and it's behaved itself pretty well so far.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Its a modifed CWM to work with erase size 40,000 but I have seen lots of problems with people backing up and restoring nandroids with it. If you're erase size 20,000, stick with CWM 2.5.0.7 and 40,000, AmonRA 2.0.1 (IMHO)
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Ah... I see, thanks. I just checked using Terminal Emulator and it shows an erase size of 20000, so I guess I'll have to look at updating that at some point.. Hasn't given me any problems yet, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
