[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandervanzijl:
downgrading is what got me into trouble in the first place.

i did try your suggestion with another rom, renamed to pb99img.zip

nothing seems to have happened.

if this would work, it would be the right solution.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandervanzijl:
does this method also work, when i have installed colockwork recovery via unrevoked.

because then the procedure might be different.

how about using a pb99 img. what would be the procedure then, and can it be done with any rom named pb99?

trying the above does not give my a vibration.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuzz101:
can someone please summarize the step-by-step instruction? i have laggy connection. i cant read through all posts. please
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuzz101:
please,please.

----------------------------------------if this is the step---------------------------------

You don't need to root or do anything unusual in order to apply the FroYo update, you only need that for custom recovery. It's not impossible to do with a broken screen, just do this:

1. Make sure the update.zip file is on your goldcard and correctly named.

2. Take the battery out first to ensure the phone is powered off. Then hold vol down and press the power button, and hold vol down for about 5 seconds. That will get you into the bootloader even though you can't see it.

3. Press vol down once. This will select recovery.

4. Press the power button once. This will start the recovery. The phone will vibrate briefly.

5. Wait 20 seconds or so. Then press vol up and the power button and wait a few seconds. You'll now be in system recovery.

6. Press vol down once to select 'apply sdcard:update.zip'.

7. Press the power button once to start the recovery.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

where can i get the update.zip?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jam Sandwich:
Ah, good to hear it's worked for a few people. No luck here so far but I'm fairly certain that's my fault rather than the instructions. I'll keep at it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuzz101:
jam. what is the instruction? i cant find the update.zip
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nowhere1975:
thanks,thanks,thanks!

i'm trying to bring my black desire back..the method must be work! i'm praying for it!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tori007:
get the file here

dont forget to name it to update.zip and put it in the root of sd card
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
update.zip is the official OTA FroYo update renamed - you can download it from here:

http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip

Once again, this will only work if you have debranded your phone. If you've installed a branded RUU that has broken the screen, you'll need to debrand using the HBOOT 0.92 to 0.80 method first. See the other current thread for how to do that.

Also make sure you don't still have the PB99IMG.zip file on your SDcard when you try to recover using update.zip.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jam Sandwich:
No joy here yet.

I can get as far as step 4 - the phone vibrates when expected.

Step 5 (Wait 20 seconds or so. Then press vol up and the power button and wait a few seconds. You'll now be in system recovery.)

Is this hold vol up and press power, or just vol up then power? I've been doing the latter.

I gave it about 45 mins to do the update last time, then rebooted the phone. Same problem - blank screen, chiming sound repeating after boot.

I've double checked the gold card just in case, that's fine too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
Did you apply any RUUs after downgrading with the PB99IMG method? If you did, you will need to repeat the downgrade. Otherwise did you remove that zip file from the sdcard before trying to recover with update.zip? If you don't, the steps will not work.

edit: I didn't read that fully - you must press vol up AND power, briefly.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jam Sandwich:
I have tried several RUUs but none worked. I can see via Fastboot that I'm still on 0.80 so I assumed they hadn't done anything. If the next attempt doesn't work I'll try another downgrade, which should be interesting without a working screen.

Vol-up AND power I shall try now, thanks for the help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarua:
Just to clarify:

- Originally, I kept on attempting different RUUs hoping that one would bring the screen back, ending with the 3 UK 1.22 one. That was a bad idea, because it meant I had to roll back using the PB99IMG.zip downgrade method. That installed a generic 1.20.*, which then allowed me to apply the generic Froyo update. If possible, RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U _4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe should work.... but I couldn't get it to installed without the dreaded error 140.

- The PB99IMG.zip downgrade was fairly simple to do, look for a video on Youtube for the appropriate button presses. Just make sure that you leave a long time between each action so it has time to do its thing.

- When I finally installed update.zip, I followed teppic74's instructions and then left the phone for 30 minutes. Thinking the update might be complete and on a "press power to continue" prompt, I pressed power again - that was actually when the update started. When your update starts, it'll take about 30 seconds for the screen to come back to life. (It looks like the hboot update is one of the first things that happens.)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jam Sandwich:
Hmm, ok, every time I try it by holding vol-up and pressing power (or pressing them both at the same time), at the end of it all the phone reboots and I get the chiming again.

Back to the drawing board I think, will see if I can downgrade again...

Edit: Ah, thanks for that Jarua. I'll downgrade and start from scratch.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
Downgrading again is simple enough, just follow the first bits of step 1 in the HBOOT 0.92 to 0.80 thread. If you applied any of the other RUUs (even ones with a higher software version than 1.21) you will still be on hboot 0.80 so it won't fix the screen but you won't be able to apply the FroYo udpate.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jam Sandwich:
Yep, that makes sense.

Right, downgraded again. Will update later.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
Just to make sure: when you enter recovery (after the phone vibrates) you press both vol up and power at the same time (press vol up first). If you could see the screen at this point it would bring up a menu.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jam Sandwich:
Did everything as per the guide. Pressed power after 35 minutes. Sipped my tea. Nothing on screen. Came over to the laptop to post this. Checked the screen.

Nice big updating icon. Now it's booting up and I have a working screen.

Top stuff. Thanks for all the help - every bit of info was useful (combination of keys, pressing power after the update, downgrading video).

Been following this thread with interest as I have one of the new SLCD HBOOT 0.83 Desires and was close to trying to flash a new ROM! Glad I dodn't now.

I was going to run unrevoked 3 - am I right in thinking this would leave me with a normally functioning rooted ROM but a black screen for recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jam Sandwich:
Vodafone had already agreed to swap me a new one, no questions asked - so I wasn't too stressed thankfully!

Cheesy, if you check the other threads there's a new recovery image which supports SLCD for 0.83 hboot versions.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bariki:
I've run into the same problem - flashed a non-SLCD RUU to my day-old Desire, now stuck with a blank screen, but at least the device boots.

Can't make a goldcard as can't see what i'm doing on the phone, and am somewhat stuck. :/

Tried running the 1.21.405.2 RUU from Windows with the phone connected, and it starts the process but gets stuck at the "waiting for bootloader" stage, then times out.

Any and all help appreciated here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melhookv12:
power off the phone, by removing the battery. put battery back in. press the back key and power button at the same time, for about 3-4 seconds. now leave it. then run the windows RUU. hope that works.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bariki:
No such luck. It's a T-Mobile UK branded device - the only RUU I have for it is that one that nuked the screen in the first place.

Tried using the 1.21.405.2_T2 image from shippedroms, as suggested previously, but the RUU wizard denies me, saying that it's not compatible with my device - which is understandable as its CID locked. x.x

Halp.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ernisab:
It works!

8. wait 7~10 min and press power button. If nothing - press and hold power button.

9. I got "Nice big updating icon" like Jam Sandwich. And after updating a message: "System software update" Congratulation! Your phone has been updated successfully to version 2.09.405.8

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmitchell14:
I've read this entire thread but nothing I've tried has worked.

I have an A8183 from Telstra Australia. I rooted it using the revoked method, following the Telus Desire HBoot 0.83 Root and Flash guide on these forums. (new member unable to link).

I had the Cyanogen mod installed on the phone but didn't really like it. I wanted the HTC sense ui back so I tried to run a few generic RUU to get it back to normal.

Of course I got the Error 130 (Model error) or whatever it was. So I tried the Telstra RUU. I then got Error 140 (Bootloader error) and read around and found out I needed to downgrade to bootloader 0.80. Obviously did not realise this would affect the SLCD screen :(

I now have a phone with no screen, it boots and I hear the noises, but no display - not even in the bootloader or recovery mode. I tried putting the FroYo OTA on my gold card, renaming it "update.zip" but it didn't work, probably because I think I have a custom recovery mod I got from following the thread I linked above. Can someone please give me a noob guide to fixing this?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I am having some trouble creating a Goldcard. My GF's desire is having this issue described in this thread and when I try to reflash I am getting the CID problem, so I thought I would do the Goldcard then try again. I have the tools needed, and the guide, but cant get the adb command to recognise my device. I have black screen and can access bootloader or recovery with power+back or power+vol down, but not sure where to go now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a complete noob, I am a HD2 owner and have been for nearly 18 months and never had this much trouble flashing software, lol.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seg2012:
BUMP..............
[HD2 General] me:
Anyone tried Doublelauncher or other Button remapper (Vito Button Mapper, etc.) with the HD2?

I have Doublelauncher (paid version), and found it to come in handy on other WM devices. You can remap different functions for different buttons--for single press, double press, press and hold, and even triple press (or double press and hold).

The HD2 doesn't have many buttons. I certainly wouldn't want to mess with the Send and End keys, as those already have different functions for press and press and hold, wouldn't want to mess with trying more.

I also certainly wouldn't want to change the single press function of the home, Windows, or back key, as those are important functions to have available at a keypress wherever you are. However, it might not be bad, if possible, to be able to map different functions for those three keys, if possible, to press and hold, double press, triple press, etc. (Or--are there already press and hold functions for any of those three keys?)

Anyone tried any button remapping programs on the HD2? Did it work?

One key I sure wish the HD2 had--an OK key! (I guess if something like Doublelauncher worked, it could be programmed as a double press on one of the other keys.)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
It's been a while and I'd like to see the updated numbers on preferred Launcher...

I myself am a LauncherPro man as I find it's options easier to use (though it's less customizable than ADW) and the swipe for more (though not unlimited) is more intuitive than the drag down for more of ADW IMO...both are great though and have used both, but Pro seems more polished IMO...

SO that's my take...but anyways...hope to read some indepth non flame baity replies...both are great great launchers and a sign of a great future for Android...

I love it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
I am going to have to go with Launcher Pro Plus at the moment. It is faster and has EVERYTHING I need at the moment. ADW is still an amazing home replacement though. Both are two of the greatest apps available for Android!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] akaine2001:
lp used to be faster for me... but when you load it up with 7 screens n widgets it started fcing like crazy for me... but i dont get fcs with adw and its buttery smooth... so i guess whatever works is the best. done.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
launcher pro is way faster than aDW now.. way faster.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] akaine2001:
people say that but if u adjust the screen fling speed not really... the way i have my adw set up, vs adw stock (system version also), vs launcher pro stock. the stocks felt same smoothness with same 5 screen setup with only that stock screen of icons. the way i have it is just as smooth as both but faster because i upped my screen fling speed or scrolling speed to like 150 from the regular 600 on adw... so really its just a matter of preferences (and settings) for that matter. this is like whats better intel or amd... all depends on the setup people and knowledge of user. c u guys in kwaak3 server... l8z

and its not instaflinging. its bout the same scrolling speed as the iphone when i had that... it's silky man ... silky like hawaiian silky

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiL3nTKiLL:
Pro Plus is really good!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cxdist:
launcherpro developer is a beast. Every update he pushes, brings a useful feature
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I have. Back in Launcher Pro 0.4 days, it wasn't as fast as it is now. ADW was about neck and neck. I adjusted fling speed and stuff. I was running around 180 or so speed. I think.

I just went back to ADW. It's not bad at all. But here's the thing. I have a Milestone. If I forget to overclock and leave it at 550mhz, LP is still incredibly smooth. I have it completely covered in widgets. You will see ADW struggle at 550mhz. At 1ghz overclock, ADW looks ok. I'd say LP is still faster then.

I think Launcher Pro really started kicking but with 0.6.5 or so. Fede added a hack for Milestone/Droid users so that it was a lot faster. Maybe not much changed for N1 users, but jeez LP really flew after that.

And now with "sense" widgets, I'm surprised how fast LP is still. Fede really went into beast mode after Launcher Pro Plus. I don't know how he's doing it but dang... I'm beyond impressed now.

I stuck with ADW for a long time. The minute it came out on marketplace at 0.7 til 1.0. At that point I was just tired of it being "not fast enough" despite all the customizations. not only that, ADW lacks proper persistent mode. The developer himself admitted it, and its something that needs to be looked into. Either you deal with constant redraws (a problem that used to be there for LP) or you put it in memory and risk having memory overflow so your widget stop updating. LauncherPro on the other hand hasn't skipped a beat.

I mean both are incredible launchers. I accidentally used ADW for 10 min today. They're both darn close and fast, but I picked up on slight choppiness and that was what made me realize that I was using the wrong launcher today :D

wheres HTC Sense
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] archboy69:
I like both but I'm liking Launcher Pro. I just think ADW is going in the wrong direction with the whole 'theming" thing. You can never truly get all icons themed and it just looks like a hodge podge of icons and I like to keep the system clean and fast.

Launcher Pro on the other hand is making improvements to the system, widgets and functionality that makes android more usable.

I've never had any problems on either one running on N1 2.2.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] blisterplease:
Launcherpro Plus hands down. Although the People widget doesn't work properly for me the other 2 sense widgets sure make up for it. The speed of it also compared to ADW is amazing, although I haven't used ADW for nearly as long I have Launcher pro. I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to the stock launcher
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
As everyone know I am a big supporter of ADW.Launcher previosly, but this time I vote for LauncherPro Plus as it is getting better and better.

ADW seems pending at the moment, it has been nearly a month no updates, and I dislike it theming idea, it is difficult to famous due to it troublesome way to make your own, and all available theme is nothing special, all seems like changing icons only, the dock all looks similar and boring.

The only stunning and special for ADW theme is ADW.Theme.One. That is.

But LauncherPro is keep adding much much more cooler function / features on every single release and the way it theming is much more easier, especially the dock bar (I believe this is the most important part)

So now I fully support on

LauncherPro

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] polo79:
Just as adw people say that LP people aren't giving it a fair shake I think adw people aren't giving LP a chance. Have you checked out the customized docks? Come on, it doesn't get any better than this. I have sense without all the crap. I am officially in phone heaven right now.

I currently use ADW launcher for swipe gestures. I find it easier to swipe down for screen previews than pressing home or pinch the screen(which needs a 2 hand operation)

I think both launchers are excellent, and i cannot differentiate between them on performance or speed on Nexus One with Froyo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djsaad1:
I am with you, the only reason I stayed with ADW is because of the swipe gestures. I can't live without them right now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
Latest version of LauncherPro also support swipe gestures, you can set swap gestures at the dock bar icon for different function with up to total of maximum 15 swipes.

Due to the swipe is setup at the dockbar icons, this can prevent accidently swipe issue.

I myself find more loving the way LauncherPro implement this swipe gestures idea.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zandog:
Right now, Launcher Pro Plus. The reason is simple. Running stock is still and will always be more prevalent and LP caters to performance. The developer updates his launcher 4x as much as ADW and each update not only makes it faster, it ads significant features, almost weekly. That feature list is far more extensive atm on Launcher Pro. Like all Cyan users, ADW come automatic so that's what we're used. After taking the dive and using LP I understood why many users have converted over. Free vs. Paid does mean something but at such a CHEAP price, it's well worth it. CMON ANDERWEB, PUT UP A FIGHT!!!!!
