[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halfdan1311:
Hey guys!

Now this happened for some time ago because i switched phone to my blackberry in anger over the brick of the Desire, and i can't remember exactly this happened!

I think i rooted it and then the screen suddently went blank when i started it.

Now i searched the web for looooong time, and also some threads in here, to find my golden answer - but nothing hat helped yet. But i got a wierd feeling in my stomach that i'm doing something wrong.

So since i can't do it myself i decided to wright to you, and hope that helps!

My HTC Desire is not branded.- at least im pretty sure it isn't!! There is no place it's physically branded. And it's bought in Denmark, and i don't think we've got branded phones here as in UK and USA :rolleyes:

I've tried this guide because i saw some people had succes with it:

QUOTE''

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.'' QUOTE END.

But nothing happens.

And i also tried Unrevoked3, but neither did that helped, it got stock at ''Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work)''

I would really appreciate if you would take your time to help me today! Because i really want my HTC Desire back, because it is a really sweet phone after all ;)

I know you guys are much more wiser to this than me, so i hope you got at magical form to solve this out.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevAmiga:
So... when you boot holding the vol down key what happens?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halfdan1311:
Well the tricky part about it is that i can't see anything! But if i go into boot (atleast i think i do) i can push VOL- and then Power button, and then it vibrates briefly, so i think it's going in to recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Right, try this...

Download this RUU (2.29.405.5):

http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH

Turn the phone off (remove the battery to be sure) and turn it on holding the BACK button. Hold back for about 5-10 seconds to be sure you're in FASTBOOT. Connect to the PC and assuming the drivers are installed wait a further 20 seconds

Then run the RUU. If you're unbranded it will install and should get you back up and running. If it completes and you still can't see anything the screen is dead and will need replacing
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
So what happens when you turn it on normally, vibrates and then you can't see anything? Maybe try this thread.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halfdan1311:
@EddyOS

Thank you!

I'm going to try the FASTBOOT right now! - i have slow internet, so i assume it's gonna take while to download the RUU - but i'll response the results here as quick as i can.

@TheGhost1233

Nothing happens, but i can see that there is light in the screen, because it turns slightly light-darker.

Also when i powered up the phone i can lock it up with my fingers and still use my touch, so it's not the ''touch'' function that there is broken.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevAmiga:
touch is seperate to the screen anyway, lets hope its not a hardware fault and can be fixed! post your results :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halfdan1311:
I'm trying with another RUU i have - while im downloading the on you've linked to - 8RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed is the one i'm trying with right now.

When i start the desire with holder down Volume (DOWN) and Power button for 5 seconds, and then plug the phone into USB there comes an jingle on my computer(which always appears when connecting any phone) but then it wont find more.

I can't see the device in ''My computer'' ?

And i get the ERROR [170] Connecting Error?

:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
That's an old RUU so use the one I linked to
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halfdan1311:
This is what i'm doing now:

Volume- and power in 5 seconds.

Plug the USB cable to the phone. (Now i can hear ''dy-dy'' from my computer, which means that my computer has detected a hardware. BUT i can't find the phone's SD Card in ''My computer'' - should i could do this?

But in my Applications i can find it under ''Special applications'' - i think i will translate i too - as ''Android 1.0''.

Now i run the RUU which you've linked to, but then i geat Connectin Error 170.

hmm?

:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You should be holding BACK, not volume down, when you turn it on as you need to be in FASTBOOT not HBOOT to run an RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halfdan1311:
Lol okay, i feel like a morron now, sorry for not have seen this.

But i still get the error 170, usb connection error! :(

Do i need to install HTC Sync? I've uninstalled it for the sake of unrevoked3.

And is there another way to do this? Over the phone exclusively maybe - if my USB connection fails all the time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
No you don't need HTC Sync. Sounds like you've USB-bricked the phone. You could try extracting out the PB99IMG.zip from the RUU and flash it that way but as you can't see what you're doing it's hard
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halfdan1311:
And how can i see which HBOOT i got? Just want to check regarding to this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748498
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Haven't a clue, doens't matter as the RUU I posted is the newest one so will work regardless
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halfdan1311:
Oh, okay.

Well i'm trying to flash PB99IMG now. I'm just hoping im doing it right allthough i can't see anything.

I'm doing as following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucBs9RVGL0w
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You don't flash it like a custom ROM. You get the PB99IMG.zip from the ROM, copy it to the root of the SD card and then turn on into HBOOT. The phone will then find it and ask if you want to flash it - say yes and that's it!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halfdan1311:
Oh okay. Just from the ROM you've linked to me?

And can you remember how to say yes, just power button?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Normally it says press up for to continue but I can't remember off the top of my head

EDIT: Yep, volume up to start
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halfdan1311:
Thanks mate, i'll keep on trying various of thing.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Sgt-Hartley:
Well in short its horrid in my opinion is there any way I can get the white one from cm6 it's much more clear with the battery and signal etc. Or what is the best theme for cm7 thanks in advance.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] btrst:
kevin's inexus theme is pretty clear to me.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
Why don't you just take the notification bars and icons from the framework-res.apk in a wildfire cm6 rom, and flop them into your framework-res.apk and systemui.apk in the cm7 rom.

you can use the UOT kitchen: http://circle.glx.nl/ to theme your phone.

Or you can use the theme chooser.

Or you can flash my theme... if you want.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Sgt-Hartley:
Hi thanks for the quick replys. Is there a tutorial you could point me to? I'm still learning the android system only been using for a week or so. I know the basics, flashing roms and rooting also pre packed themes etc etc. I already have the android Dev kit setup and functioning I pressume it will be required to extract cm notification bar.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
you won't need a tutorial for the UOT kitchen, it's as simple as choosing the stuff you want, then it asks you to upload your framework-res.apk, then it creates a .zip, then you flash it.

as for putting and changing icons in your framework-res, you just need the sdk to push the framework to your phone (if you dont know how to make a flashable zip) - there's a guide somewhere in the wildfire general section (just search for it). all you have to do is open the framework-res.apk with winrar, and place the icons you want to change into that rar file, and replace, - ok, done bla bla.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Sgt-Hartley:
Nice. Thanks for your help. I'm going to try your theme as soon as I get chance aswell ill let you know how it goes. Thanks again

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javolin13:
Okay so here's my story...

I got a little ancy, and without reading ( i know first issue) proceeded to root my phone ( successful ) and put clockworkmod ( succcessful )

However, i decided after to put voodoo lag fix for 2.1 on by just putting on sdcard ( not the actual SD CARD but the internal ) then flashing it.

It hung at the galaxy S i9000 screen for over 20+ min and would not move

I pulled the battery and had a hell of a time figuring out if i bricked it or not...

well i found the odin trick and got it to boot up to the S logo screen.

After that it stays there then the screen goes black and wont boot to android.... now i have no clue HOW to reset my phone.

I've gone into recovery mode and tried to install from zip with update, and it says "no update.zip found" or whatever, and i WOULD put one on , but i can't get into android to do so....

I"m stuck please how do i get back to android!?

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlcj5:
Odin again it may take a few tries..ill be watching this thread if you need more assistance

[Desire General] cr0wnest:
I want to install Amon_RA 2.0.1 over clockwork 2.5.0.6 on my Desire but no matter what method i try it does not work.

Flashing via adb didnt work, i just got an error message and it said "FAILED". EDIT: Its the signature verification that failed.

Tried using ROM Manager, before i can flash an alternate recovery (The option is greyed out), i understand i first need to install clockwork recovery (again) via the ROM manager. However it keeps telling me theres a network error and it is unable to download the ROM i need for the phone. I tried using 2 different wifi networks as well as mobile data and they have all given me the same error.

I used unrevoked method. It also said it failed.

Using terminal emulator to install it gives me a very long error message, relating to I/O

What now?
[Desire General] cr0wnest:
BUUUUUUMMMP

No one really? Im sure you guys have dealt with this sort of thing before.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
If you are S-Off then via fastboot, if S-ON, then only option is via unrevoked3.
[Desire General] Ideedeequeuedee:
I had the same issue last night. Nothing would work and unrevoked gave me a NAND error. I got my phone S-OFF'd just a couple of minutes ago so im gonna try it later on tonight. Maybe thats an option for you.
[Desire General] cr0wnest:
Ok i'll try that. Thanks
[Desire General] cr0wnest:
Ok i got it. Didnt have to disable security. It looks like it was a problem with the OS itself. All i did was do a full wipe via the recovery and ran the unrevoked again. It worked flawlessly.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d19375:
I'm trying to connect my DHD to my T.V. to do the media sharing and stuff it brags about, and I was wondering if I had to order that adapter unit from htc.com or if I could just bluetooth it and be set up. Anyone have any luck with this? (I'm in the middle of a move and that's why I can't just try out bluetoothing). Thanks.

Unless you buy the htc media sharing thingy, you can only share with devices connected to your WLAN :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nado_x:
I won't condone the flashing of this rom yet. After digging around I've read that the bootloader may potentially lock your phone, IE you won't be able to flash any custom roms.

So anyone who includes the rom or link it in their post, please add a warning within the same post. We don't want any of our fellow members to be left with a bricked/locked phone.

Can anyone confirm this? In any case, will flashing JPU-full remove the boot loader from JS5?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elle233:
I flashed JS5 and it's running smoothly without any problems. I was able to root my phone as well. It's like crying wolf when there's none.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windraker:
He/She is not referring to not being able to root. What's being referred to is the inability to flash another rom because they've locked down the phone, like some other asshat manufacturer did.

I can't confirm it personally until I download it. If this is the case then samsung can stick their phone up it's candy ass.

I bought this phone to develop apps for. Locking down this phone basically says go buy the nexus and toss his one in the garbage.

omgomgomgogmogmomgomg how many times am I going to see this question god dammit! Nobody here will be able to help you with that outside of a PM. The instructions were here at one point but they have been removed due to the illegality of the process.

I dont understand how it is illegal? Aren't we allowed to alter our phones in anyways we want since it is our property? Its not messing with anyone else, its just allowing us to use what we are paying for.

And the answer was in the FIRST result.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottprotege:
Some people here were mentioning that to change your IMEI is actually illegal in some countries. I am not sure which countries this applies to.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
In the US, according to a recent ruling, for the next two years you can modify your phone any way you like. The legality issue is regarding the iphone only, because you need to use pirated software to do the jailbreak. Not so for android. Just back upyour efs folder, then delete the original files, and you no longer go to the redirect site.

I agree, the amount of repeated questions is growing. People are losing patience with the lazy who don't try very much. It's taking a toll - I don't see a few prominent developers here anymore. Do your homework! Chances are, since you're getting to the game late, those new guy questions have already been answered.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adapt0r:
Perhaps someone needs to read a contract on cell phone service. I am sure that it contains language prohibiting user to alter its identification on the network. IMEI is very similar to MAC assigned to every Ethernet network device. It allows to avoid clones on the network.

The cell phone number and IMEI are both identification codes but used in different layers of communication.

My guess that if number of clones would exceed tolerance level of some carrier it will introduce extra filtering and enforcement. Not sure that somebody would win in that case.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -RioT-:
I have no contract to read so you guys can post all the help you want. The most amazing thing happened to me. I bought tmobile tab on amazon with no contract.

Thank you rangercaptain for saying something useful.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
I haven't had a contract for years either.

The court ruled on something called fair use saying people can unlock a phone for any network, remove any restriction to add any apps from any source, on any network they please.

I have an unlimited data plan and t-mobile is creating a software limitation that keeps me from using what I paid for. BY LAW I am permitted to modify my phone so I get what I paid for.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
I don't have a clone, and I pay for unlimited data. If I get cut-off, they are not keeping the agreement.

Besides, I'm not guessing, I read the law.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kable:
Not for a Tab you don't. They don't sell an unlimited plan for it.

This is the TOS everyone abides to by using T-Mobiles service with or without a contract. It clearly states that a plan is to be used on the device it was added to and not any other equipment. Claiming the iphone ruling doesn't apply here since it had nothing to do with using a service. It was just hardware hacking related.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Yes I do. You don't know what agreement I have.

I had an unlimited blackberry plan, with international roaming, then I called customer service and told them I was switching to an android. They didn't sell me a device, only a plan, with no contract.

Anyway, that's not the point. If people want to enable 3g without the redirect they have to break something until T-Mobile changes.

I returned the t-mo tab and switched to at&t.

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] WillKennerley:
Surely this wont work as Flash 10.1 does not run on the Wildifre? This app is just a repack of the web version I think (still uses flash)?

If you want iPlayer I recommend the app 'myplayer', it must be the old version/apk as the latest had to remove iplayer for legal reasons. Alternatively you may be able to find an apk for 'beebplayer'. Neither of these run using flash I believe.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] xynok:
i just use beebplayer...

Yes that is correct, it still needs flash, and tbh the website still runs much smoother when playing a program. I hope they update it.
