stubborn loop - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Still trying to root this thing. More progress today then I had yesterday
Ok I reinstalled htc sync and also deleted all drivers. Now finally coming up offline in recovery but only for the first four seconds when loading. Then I can't keep it..
Suggestions????

You have to keep trying over and over again. Its the only way. For some reason HTC made it hard to catch, and you have to pull out the batt and start over and over.. Keep trying.

I got root simply by swapping out sd cards.. Who would have that it would have been that easy....

[Q] how long to root.. unrEVOked root

hey looking for a quick respnse.. it's stuck on "pushing recovery... (### bytes).. how long does this process take?? it's been about 15 mins.. phone screen is normal and phone is running
cmon guys.. i exited out and ran it again.. this time is went to push unsuccessful and then said terminating.. wtfudgeeee
The same thing happened to mine, remove unrevoked, reboot your computer and phone, download unrevoked again and run it, second time round it took about 10 minutes to push the files, then another couple to complete it
i did hboot and usb debugging.. pretty much took all the steps.. am i missing something here?? what could i have done wrong?? every other time it will stick at pushing.. then the next time i try it will go to push failed and terminating. hmm?
okay.. it wont delete unrevoked..
Make sure htc sync is uninstalled.
Maybe also a good idea would be to post in the right section/post on one of the rooting threads?

not much of a thread starter.. sorry.. okay so i restarted comp and was able to delete root folder.. it was saying earlier it was being ran in another window or somthing.. then after restart i downloaded root and restarted and now i'm reviewing root again and will attempt root.. i'm more confident now.. i guess restarting the computer is a step that wasn't really mentioned?
i have a question.. in boot mode.. why can't i volume down scroll to hboot usb?? it's not there
Moved to Q&A as not development
i deleted everything htc sync because i could not find uninstall.. is that sufficient? it is also on charge only... still waiting for it to push files.. been almost 10 mins
okay it was on pushing for an hour.. going to try it on another laptop ;/
uhhh guys there was a problem.. was i supposed to put something on sd card post root??? it said update failed at end of root and something about sd card.. wtf.. isn't rooted because i could not remove city id with super app manager
ran root again and same thing.. had like 10 options after it was done.. at bottom it had lots of nagative signs..
yeah idk i give up..
the last step when it says recovery it fails and stays in recovery.. not working
i have the superuser app and it says rooted phones have that.. when i open superusers it is a blank screen.. is the only way to delete apps like city id and what not is to s-off??
Does anyone know what I'm missing here lol.. I tried all day yesterday

[Q] Bricked phone? Need help please!!! :-/

I tried to flash the new Skyrader ROM on my DInc, but it got hung up at the eye boot screen. I went back, wiped and tried to restore to my back up... When I boot up, and the phone comes back up, I get the following errors and FCs:
"The Application DM Command Service (process com.android.phone) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
And "The process com.htc.bg has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
It is also not allowing the SD Card to be prepared for storage... ( I was trying to see if I could transfer one of my old back up into the SD card, but that is not working either...)
Then stuck at the HTC Brilliant screen. The screen will go into power save, and come up with the screen lock, but then the HTC Brilliant screen comes up...
Anybody have any ideas how I could fix this, or even if I can fix it???
Thanks in advance for the help!
I've been running the stock 2.2 with unrevoked forever...
can you not boot into the bootloader?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yeah, I could, but I couldn't load anything new into my SD card.
I just found my SD card adapter and was able to transfer the Android 2.2 RUU into the card, rename it as PB31IMG.zip.
I ran that as the update and it loaded!!!!!!!!!!!
Have to start from scratch on the phone, and its way too late to even try to run clockwork mod tonight... but at least I hope my phone is working again...
But, I have a problem with my phone, any time that I even try to run anything, a ROM or theme, it gets messed up. I'm following the directions to the T, so I don't understand why that is happening... Could I have a dud?
Thanks for answering my post!
Are you making sure to wipe data and cache prior to inmstalling the ROM?
Also, how long was it at the droid eye before you tried to go back? The first boot on a ROM can take quite some time and the phone may appear to be unresponsive, but is still lodaing, building caches, etc.

[Q] phone bricked? can only boot to fastboot. recovery reboots with 7 vibrations

i ask as i updated my radio last night for the 1st time in aaages and the phone turns on etc as you'd expect. since then though (this morning) i've had random reboots. i've got recovery images of different roms and both do the same.
i tried a clean install of a new rom and it reboots while installing, i try to install again and this time it gets to the "press on the droid" option when it reboots again.

Weird..did u try flashing a different radio?
not yet. in work for a while longer. the only other thing i can see it being, is the kernels in the rom i'm using now, using too little voltage.
might try flashing a different kernel
I have had this problem before & as has been suggested a different radio did solve the problem. Hope it turns out something as simple for you.
As a last resort try wiping and flashing an RUU, that will replace the kernel, radio and rom
yea, had a thought on doing that too. grabbed 2 of em (not sure which i need) but today it's not rebooting
ok, somethings gone real wrong now. cant do anything more than go into fastboot. recovery causes a reboot with 7 vibrations on the boot screen and it wont go past it. i can go into fastboot/fastboot usb and that's it.
how do you flash a ruu now? i found a guide but it refers to downloading .zip images and putting em on an sdcard? i could only see .exe ruus
Just run the ruu exe while your phone is connected in fastboot. Do you have the ruu that was originally on the phone?

trying it now. got the ruu downloaded. tried it before but got some funky errors
phones doing some funky stuff at the mo. if this works (i hope) then i can use unrevoked and then alpharev to get root/s-off later again yea?
ta mate
Yeah, you can do that.

coolio.
worked. now booted up. wonder what the hell happened though!
Dunno but I guess you're relieved

i am, but tried 2 pcs and my netbook, installed usb drivers off their site but just cant get unrevoked working for my desire.
off to try the old goldcard method
odd, even the goldcard tool didnt work. did a year or so ago when i 1st rooted. had to go old school on this thing.
edit
and after several tries, alpharev doesnt work
cant make the phone reboot when it needs to. worked last time with opendesire with no probs at all. no joy with oxygen though, or the default sense rom
ok, thanks to the forum, i've got opendesire installed now and i think somethings up. after an install (clean) it locked. hard. 3 finger salute didn't reboot the phone and had to pull the batt out (other roms caused reboots instead). i decided to take the sim out - and nothing. no more locks/reboots at all.
i'm gonna try the sim in another phone tonight and see what happens.
something very off with this phone.

I had this problem after I flashed a radio. I ended up sending it back to O2 due to a corrupt radio/cpu stack on the actual device.

[Q] HOX+ FOTA update gone horribly wrong, restore failed, desperate for help

Hi All,
The story, I'm on vacation in Austria with my new HOX+ and suddenly I get an update for it. So I downloaded it and installed it. Suddenly I have no cell connection and cannot use wi-fi anymore. The phone is stuck in Airplane Mode and can not get out.
So I go looking on the web and spent hours reading on flashing, downgrading, rooting etc. So I decide to downgrade it to stock. Something went horribly wrong, as it didn't work. I unlocked it, every step correctly. Then I tried it again, and again, and again. Multiple different guides, video's everything. So then I thought I found a solution, install JB 4.1.2. So, following every step correctly I try this, no succes. But now suddenly I cannot see the sdcard, htc sync doesn't find my phone etc. Also, my phone doesn't go past the HTC bootlogo. I can now only run the bootloader by power vol-
So I try to flash the JB again, connection error, cannot find folder etc. So I start looking again, tried recovery, factory reset, nothing works. Flashed CWM 5.8.4.0 into the recovery, does not boot, only up to the HTC logo then powers down and reboots bootloader.
So here I go to the last resort: Stock RUU. I download the correct RUU for my HOX+ -in this case RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.6_Radio_3.1204.168.32_release_297177_signed .... I start the programme and it works good and then it starts rebooting the bootloader and then I get the black background with silver HTC letters and then the RUU says Error 171 USB Connection Error.
I've tried about 10 times now in different USB slots, same thing every time.
Also, when I start the bootloader from scratch, it says Checking SD update... Failed to open usb master mode
Is there anybody who can help me? I have tried for 30 hours now, every single option (I think?)... I don't care what kind of ROM goes on there, stock, jb, evolution as long as it works!

Yes, I did, first without and then multiple times with as I read that advice somewhere as well.
Also, I did relock the phone first as I read that somewhere, forgot to state above.
Ok the twentieth time seems to be a charm, after 5 hours trying the RUU is succesfully installed and everything works perfectly fine now!
Many thanks! Not sure if I would have tried again and again after it kept failing!
Also, probably wrong forum? HoX+ should have it's own forum does it not?

[Q] Stuck Installing Update

Okay, so I may have screwed some things up... And by "may" I mean I did.
So I had rooted my Zenfone 2 and deleted some bloatware, but I guess I deleted something I shouldn't have, because my phone had a few issues with audio notifications and not ringing when I am being called.
Anyway, I was trying to find a way to flash the stock rom back onto it and start over, and this is where my problem started. I couldn't get into fastboot to go into recovery mode by using power+volume up... (I realized later that you have to keep holding the volume up button until you get to the screen... Not sure why I screwed that up...) I tried using ADB, but ADB would just NOT show my phone, no matter what I did. So what did I do? Something dumb. I downloaded the latest firmware from Asus, which was a 1.1gb file, threw it on the root directory of the phone and attempted to update.
Everything was fine and dandy until... It got stuck. It sat at the same spot on the loading bar and never moved. So now I am stuck looking at the green android bot wiggling his antennas with the words "Installing system update..." beneath him... with an stalled progress bar. I can get to Fastboot mode and select Recovery and all that, but no matter what, it reboots and goes straight to the same screen, still trying to install the system update.
So, my question is... How can I fix this?
*EDIT* After posting this, it finally installed... after 47 minutes. So if anyone has this issue, just try waiting it out for an hour... I'm not sure why it took so long.

Might have been your sd card read speed was slow. The system image is quite large, so copying all the files can be tedious.
