Need Urgent Help Please

Alright, I unlocked my htc vogue with the coke unlocker, everything went dandy, but then instead of upgrading the rom to sprints updated one I went straight to upgrading to 6.5 without updating my radio to 3 something something. Now whenever I boot my phone it just goes to the htc smart mobility screen, puts the little red letters on the bottom, and then returns to the htc smart mobility screen. Sorry if I'm noobish but i've been trying ot get into the tri colored screen for a while and thats not working, is there anything else I could do?

Same exact thing happened to me last night...here's what I did:
1. Download the 3.42.30 Radio ROM from post #17 in this thread; http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35254&highlight=vogue+radio&page=2
2. Copy the VOGUIMG.nbh file on to a formated non HD MicroSD memory card
3. Put the card in the phone and press power+camera+reset, release the reset and continue to hold camera+power until it goes to a gray screen that says "checking"
4. Follow on screen instructions
Done

Copy all of your files from your mempry card to your PC temporarily, then format your card...just to be safe. Once you fix your phone, make sure you remove the VOGUIMG.nbh file from the card and copy your files back on to it.

Nice! It's a ***** when you thing you bricked your phone, but there's always a way out of it. Enjoy.

Help! Phone not starting!

Ok, heres the situation. My Desire is S-OFF, I just flashed a partition table (for Oxygen RC4) from fastboot and it was successful, then did a 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'. The phone then turned off, and didn't come back on :S
I left it for a good 30 minutes, nothing. So I pulled the battery, put it back in, and went to start it... nothing! But when I plug in the charger, the LED lights up green. As soon as I touch the power button, it disappears, and the phone is dead.
Someone help out a poor fellow?

Did you check the MD5 of the download? Maybe the file was corrupt...
Btw, Q&A would have been a better place to post.

Sorry about the post being in dev, if the mod can move it, would be appreciated.

Anything I can do?

Nothing that I know of... You will have to send it to HTC and cross your fingers they repair it.

Cant it boot into fastbood mode? If you can, try run an RUU, that should restore all, also the original partition table

you have been unlucky

Yes, run RUU with hboot asi PB99img.zip and allow update i had the same problem

Vibrates 7 times

I just rooted my HTC Desire and installed CM7 on it (loved it on my HTC Legend). But suddenly today, after I turned Wifi on, it started rebooting all the time, couldn't do anything to stop it. I thought "Hey, there was the radio flash thing in the tutorial that I didn't do yet, I'll try that out" so I flashed the radio. Then I chose reboot system, but it just booted to a logo with an android coming out of a trash can, and looked kinda stuck there. So I took out the battery and plugged back in. Now if I try to turn it on, it'll just vibrate 7 times - no picture or anything. Also there's no LED when I plug it to the charger.

I had those 7 vibrates too.
Happened after i flashed the cm7 hboot over my stock hboot while trying to enter recovery. After i re-flashed my recovery using fastboot, everything worked again. What happens if you try to power up while holding down vol- ? Did you use fastboot or your phones recovery mode to install the radio?

I am not able to start in recovery or anything. I tried vol. down + power and back + power and no matter what I try, it just vibrates 7 times. I used the recovery mode to install the radio.

You could try to connect your phone via usb and check if fastboot discovers your device. If yes, flash hboot and recovery using fastboot. If not, well... i dont have a clue. Sorry :/

Computer discovers nothing when I plug in the phone.

Bad news when u pulled battery u interrupt the process n u now have a bricked device I would b very surprised if u managed to do anything

For the record to help some of you out who ended up here Googling: I had a similar issue. My HTC Desire SV did not boot, and when charging, only had an orange flashing light, and the phone vibrated 7 times. I did 2 things that got it back up:
1) left the phone off for say 10 minutes (I read about overheating issues in general, although the phone did not feel hot).
2) removed the battery for a couple of minutes.
VERY IMPORTANT: for step 2: make sure to have the battery removed long enough to drain internal charge. I removed and installed the battery in a second or so at first, and still the phone did not boot. After leaving out the battery long enough, it booted again. It appears to me that the issue in my case was a rather big internal charge capacity which kept internal state (memory and/or CPU?) from booting. Hope this helps...

[Q] HTC Desire Bricked/Dead

Hey all,
I have a HTC Desire (PB99200) which won't switch on, recognise a charger/ connection to a PC or enter recovery etc. This was failed update, think I used the wrong RRU as I didn't know about the different versions SLCD/AMOLED.
So as far as I know the device is dead in the water, what I want to know is can it be salvaged?
I'm basically a noob but any help would be greatful

bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, point [5]
If that RUU doesn't work, I recommend find and flash the 2.3.3 GB RUU from shipped ROMs

Thanks for your reply but point 5 doesn't open as page cannot be displayed.
I'm also not sure if u have read my post but it did say it was not being detected by my PC or anything else which would make reflashing stock rom impossible

The only options i can think of is a phone repair shop that has jtag, maybe they can save it but ud probably get a new motherboard off ebay for bout 15 quid which would be cheaper.

I might be tempted to do just that, its a shame cos I know the hardware is fine.
Not sure what the price would be to take it to a repair shop here in the UK. Thanks anyway

Sorry I read your post too quickly
So nothing comes up on screen at all when you try to get to bootloader?
I'm trying to remember whether bootloader is actually 'there', but just not visible if you flashed an SLCD RUU on an AMOLED desire or vice versa.
If it's actually there, then it may be possible to flash the RUU via PB99IMG.zip method, not tried it this way blind but worth a shot before you take it for repair.
- Try the 2.3.3 RUU from here (thanks to @jmcclue)
- Put the zip as it is on the root of the sdcard (not inside any folder), then attempt to boot to bootloader (vol down + power)
- Wait at least 30 seconds - 1 minute for it to scan and load the file, then press volume up to accept the RUU.
- Wait for it to flash, pray that it works!
Also have a look here, you're following this procedure without the screen basically.

It still comes down to flashing wrong RUU.
Was the device working beforehand ie charging?
Flashing the ruu should not break the usb port so i believe it's still charging even though doesn't look like it.
The software should still turn on, just not the screen.
Therefore the above method has a chance of working as long as you have a card reader to copy the PB99IMG.zip to the root of the sdcard. The video explains what it should look like. Plug it in to ac charger after booting to bootloader to ensure it doesn't die while flashing
Anyway no harm in giving it a go. Nothing to lose by trying it!

The phone was working/charging fine before I screwed up the RUU. I am following the instructions you have me and the YouTube video as well but there is no way of knowing if this will work or what its even doing if anything. all I can do it wait through a process I am unsure is working
Since the problem started, it doesn't charge, switch on, respond to PC connection nothing.

So if it was working fine before, I doubt the RUU has broken the charging capability.
The only way I guess is to try the PB99IMG.zip watching the video at the same time plus waiting a few seconds longer just in case. Think you have to press volume up or power at the end to reboot can't remember, or battery pull and hope it turns on afterwards.
No guarantee it will work, though I've seen many people in these forums recover 'black screen after ruu' issue. Still worth exhausting this method before repair

Hard brick problem

I've a big problem... my phone won't turn on, won't charge (and no led) but is not totally dead.
The problem has happening after install TWRP with Autorec on V30B firmware, i reboot my phone and nothing... My phone won't reboot, just turn off.
Since, there is no vibration when i press start button, no DL mode when i connect to the PC (and hold volume up) but, sometimes i can see boot logo during 3 second and nothing anymore, just a black screen. When i remove the battery and i plug it, the phone shows me a logo which indicates the battery is removed.
I plug my phone during 10 minutes, but always nothing...
If someone can help me, i would be so gratefull

Used twrp for marshmallow or lollipop and your phone version is what?

Give this a try: http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/
If that does not help I guess there is nothing you can do.

did you check that you have TWRP? Try to enter recovery since you can see the logo and you certainly flashed recovery. Main thing is that you flashed wrong boot and can not boot system.
Check this post from autoprime.
