Hi,
I'm tryin to unbrick this device, it is stuck with the HTC logo, recovery doesn't boot, and I only have fastboot with S-ON.
I've tried the troubleshooting guide, but I can't make the goldcard, it gives me the next error:
Code:
./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
(yes, fastboot devices shows the device)
I've read somewhere that this happens because this method is not compatible with HBOOT 0.93.0001 (The one it has).
Both AlphaRev and revolutionary methods don't do anything, since (if I have understood correctly) they need a full working ROM (yes, i've tried anyways)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As far as I know there are no guides stickied on top of the Q&A forum which answer your issue directly, and I'm sure you did all the relevant research before posting. Well done.

Did you bother to read my post before answering?
If you had, you would have noticed that im basically saying: "I tried the method in the guide, plus 2 more methods, and it is still not working"
To clarify: the method in the guide (section 2, "Advanced Boot Problems", under S-ON) does NOT work (explained on my first post)
Guide also says if you cant use the phone to get the CID (which you cant), you should use the CID tool, and then continue the tutorial from the unlockr after they get it.
Well, based on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347450
Whats wrong here is your hboot is not supported.
The HTC unlock method support the new HBOOT 2.xx. Either the official S-ON one or the leaked S-OFF.

I was asuming this answer was correct, I guess its not, i'll try what you are suggesting, thanks.
Yeah and if that doesnt aork you can *try* the 2.3 RUU, but that is a riskier option that can brick your phone (as i witnessed a few hours ago)
OP, you're saying you cant make a goldcard..Dont you have access to any other Android device that can?
I actually had a similar thing on my phone about a week ago no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to install a Recovery image and my phone was s-off I tried all the tutorials and they all failed. In the end I end up running a RUU from my carrier and that got it back to booting the original sense and then I used Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool 0.4pre4 h.t.t.p://revolutionary.io/ to get a working recovery image back on and it worked (was the only thing that did). then I restored my CM7 backup I had made previously and it was just like I left it
I probably didn't need to use the ruu in the end

Guys,
I've been reading up on this forum for a while now, but now I have a problem that I can't seem to fix. As many, my phone seems to be stuck in a bootloop since I'm quite sick of the i'm so serious joker face I am not able to access recovery since it will show the same alpharev screen.
I've rooted my phone using the noob proof guide here on xda (unrevoked etc). And had the stable CM7.1 version installed as custom rom. I've used it for some weeks before the problem appeared.
Details of the bootloader
Bravo PVT1 ship s-off, HBOOT - 0.93.0001
I've tried the solution 2 of Bortak's (awesome) guide to solve the problem. But when flashing the recovery, again the joker face!
I've tried clearing the storage, no succes.
Thnx for helping out!
Due to the overwhelming amount of information, I'm confused what my next (and safest ) step should be!
thnx in advance!

Try:
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt

This may work
thnx bortak!
However... unfortunately nothing changes... Still stuck on the bootscreen!

Make a goldcard (look at my guide), then flash the latest WWE RUU
Hey Bortak,
Thnx for your help! I managed to push the RUU without creating the goldcard eventually. I was confused how to do this since I only found examples with working phones and only realized quite late your step 7 was the solution for this. I skipped the step before because I thought the USB connection was not my problem.
Just curious, I thought the goldcard was only necessary for branded phones? And in the steps following your tutorial I thought I needed to have a working phone, which mine obviously isn't. What should I have done differently to get a goldcard? (these were the reasons why I didn't try)
That thread of yours is a life saver!
You are absolutely right, goldcard is only for branded phones. This is because branded phones does a CID (Carrier ID)-check if one applies a RUU. If this RUU has a different ID than the one from the carrier, you will get this CID-error. By using goldcard you avoid this error. So unbranded phones does not a goldcard, because they do not this check.
That's how I understand the matter (no guarantee it's 100% right).
Hi,
I used HTCDev to root my DHD, installed ClockworkMod Recovery, and used it to install a custom ROM.
I used fastboot to flash the boot.img file, and now the phone will boot once, and work well, but as soon as i reboot it it freezes at the HTC logo screen (white background, HTC logo, before it shows the "quietly brilliant" tagline.)
I have to reflash the boot.img to get it working again.
If I relock the firmware as per HTCdev instructions, i also hangs at the logo screen, even at first boot.
Hboot screen:
*** UNLOCKED ***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0428
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
Dec 22 2011,14:28:19
if i load a PD98IMG.zip file to the root of the SD, it will read it, but not give me the option to flash, i can only flash with fastboot/clockworkmod
I have tried flashing and older hboot, but it returns a signature error
any advice would be helpful
It's not s-off. You need to get s-off.

Use AAHK, advanced ace hack kit to root. You can findbit in the dev section.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Have searched this forum since 2 days now, but was not able to find answer, instead i found different statements making me even more unsecure, what happened, and what are my next steps. So here is my story:
Have used Unlock-Bootloader procedure on HTCDEV, which worked fine. My goal was to use apps like T-Backup or Antitheft-security-software which need root-access to enable all functionality. But have learned now that i am still not rooted, still on S-ON.
Have also lost my German language on the phone ! With going through a "restore factory setting" i get german menu at the beginning, but at that point where i can select a language i only get the selection of English or Greece.
So now i am looking, which next steps i do have to do in order to get root access. I do not want to mod... i only want to have root-access to some apps. But unfortunately all or some tools state that they should only be used with the phone in original status, not modified. Some tools clearly state "Do not use if you already used HTCDEV unlock".
I would be really glad, if somebody out there would spend a few minutes in order to throw some light into my weekend
Use HTC Bootloader to lock the phone again. It should inform you once complete. Don't ever use it again.
Download Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK) from the development section and CAREFULLY follow instructions. The AAHK will then root your phone and give you the ability to flash any ROM you want. It will also preserve your original ROM so iI suggest a backup.
You can use AAHK to go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU. Keep in mind that flashing a Froyo RUU to a Gingerbread shipped phone WILL result in you having major issues. Hope this helps a bit.
Enjoy
EDIT: I have just realized I have written this same exact thing at least 10 times so if you or anyone else comes back with the same issue, I will no longer be replying. Everything there is to know about root, radio s off and flashing custom ROM can be found right here by simply using search and gliding through forums.
I am NOT a babysitter. Do your own homework.

Turns out my trouble was caused by running this:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
instead of
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
everything is working fine now
thank you
After breaking my previous desire i got a new one from insurance past friday. I s-off and rooted it with revolutionary and ran the alpharev cm7 r2 partition table. All went fine and i installed the CM 7.2 RC rom and started downloading all my apps and stuff.
All seemed fine untill i shutdown my phone last night and when booting it up this morning it doesn't boot up into anything. I can only get into Hboot and fastboot. I've tried booting into recovery but it gets stuck on the boot screen again.
Now i've read the Q&A troubleshooter posted above here and i have already tried reflashing recovery, which sadly still didn't boot after the reflash.
Now i'm completely stuck on what to do and have been searching for over an hour now.
I've read i could do a RUU for my phone, but seeing as alpharev has protection against that i'm not certain that would even help. What would be the best solution here to get my phone working again. (and if possible with the current data on it , i hadn't made a backup of the full install yet)
Edit: some extra info
Hboot 6.93.1002
Bravo PVT3 S-off
radio 5.11.05.27
CM 7.2 RC
clockwork, not sure newest version for desire afaik
Did you try to remove battery?
yes, seeing as that is the only option right now to turn my phone off .
I also ran fastboot oem gencheckpt to force boot into recovery. The phone got stuck at htc splashscreen. I posted the cmd image information in this post.
when i pulled the battery to shut down the phone, the cmd gave and "error, to many links"
edit:
i ran the alpharev downgrade image to overwrite my hboot and see if i could get into recovery after reflashing that aswell. Sadly this didn't work and after flashing both it still gets stuck at the htc splash screen
i ran the downgrade hboot again and will not try to fix it with a RUU
hmm, the phone is still recognized by the pc, but i have a black screen and can't get it to display anything. did i use a bad ruu or? I"m really confused now :|
after looking in the troubleshoot again i tried to flash the bravo stock from alpha rev, but i'm getting a FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>
well seeing as i most likelly need a goldcard now and don't have another android device laying around i will have to continue this tomorrow or tonight.
if ANYBODY has any advice everything is really appriciated!
what RUU did you flash?
if it was under 2.xx that means you did slcd brick have look here
flash bravo stock from alpharev, then run (if you have a goldcard) the 2.2 WWE RUU, or your carriers RUU (make sure it's the latest one)
Check shipped-roms.com
i think i ran this RUU
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
which i got from this post, which i now see is terribly out-dated xD.
I got my phone from vodafone in Holland, and i just saw an RUU for bravo that was shipped by vodafone UK which also supports the same radio as mine. Is it a safe bet to use that one for the recovery process?
I wasn't able to run any images right now from fastboot for some reason so i will indeed need to make a goldcard. Will do so tomorrow and report back if i've had any succes.
Thanks for the advise!
OK, so i'm a bit confused by that guide i'm afraid...
I've noticed that in step 4 that i'm unable to enter recovery (no surprise seeing as i was unable before the RUU).
I can boot in to fastboot and hboot i think seeing as i get the "device connected sound" in windows. When i then enter ADB devices or fastboot oem gencheckpt it gives me some information, which can be seen in the screenshot.
What i'm now confused about is, do i still need to make a goldcard, and if so how? I tried running that goldcard creater software but it couldn't pull a CID. Should i create a goldcard by just using a phone of my friend (desire s :|)? Or is it possible to just run the right RUU straight away seeing as i can connect to hboot and fastboot, let that run and when that is finished use revolutionary to root my phone agian.
Attached is the cmd for fastboot oem gencheckpt and adb devices, although normally the fastboot oem gencheckpt finished with a "FAILED <status read failed<too many links>>
Gimme bootloader information, also what state is the phone in now, and what have you tried so far. (quick summary)
My bad just read you last posts.
Try the Vodafone RUU, it should work, don't see why it shouldn't. If that fails, make a goldcard with your friends Desire S, and flash the 2.2 WWE RUU.
If that fails then use the 2.3 RUU.
Ah great!!! I ran the vodafone ruu and atleast now i'm getting fastboot and hboot displayed again.
I'll see how far i can get on my own now. Thanks alot for all your help
Darn, aren't there yet...
I can now get into fastboot and hboot WITH it being displayed so that is already a big plus. However i'm still on a off partition format so i need to flash that back to the original partition format.
I'm S-ON right now so i can't do it through fastboot.
So i made the goldcard through my friends phone and place a PB99IMG.zip containing the alpharev bravostock on the goldcard.
When i then boot into HBOOT it gives me the reading PB99IMG.zip but doesn't give me an option to run the update afterwards. I then checked with the RUU i ran from my pc and created an PB99IMG.zip of that and let it run from HBOOT thus checking if the goldcard was functional. This worked perfectly apart from the partition table being screwed.
How can i now either install recovery from my goldcard while being S-ON or how can i succesfully run the bravo_stock image from my goldcard?
edit: I know i could use the old s-off trick from alpharev but i would prefer to use revolutionary instead seeing as it's more up to date...
k i think i know what to do.
i'll just create a bootable USB with the 1.8 hboot from alpharev on it. S-off my device and restore the partitions to stock.
Then run the RUU again so that my phone returns to stock sense and S-on.
After that i should be the basic root process all over again by running revolutionary etc right?
If you're S-ON. You DO NOT need to touch the hboot, and you can't anyway.
If you've got a goldcard just try the WWE RUU. And if that doesn't fix it then the 2.3 RUU.
That's all you need to do. NOTHING else.
The 2.3 RUU (the vodafone one i downloaded) doesn't work.
I don't think any RUU will work for my seeing as i'm still on the CM 7 r2 partition layout instead of the original sense layout (a little mistake i made when running the first faulty RUU). I'll try to run the WWE RUU first, but i don't think it'll achieve anything.
If i would now run the alpharev 1.8 hboot from a bootable USB it shouldn't put my device at risk right? :|
Edit:
i'm actually getting CID incorrect from the WWE RUU from the troubleshoot thread and from another WWE RUU i downloaded from shipped-roms.com
edit2:
alright, i tried 2 WWE RUUs, which when ran from my PC give me ERROR[131]: customer-ID error and a CID incorrect when done from my goldcard... i also tried alpharev hboot 1.8 but that didn't work either for the obvious reason that you need to boot into android and enable usb debugging and the WWE RUUs for i do not know what reason .
Damn i thought i had figured it out before going to college but aparently i was wrong >.<
i don't know if it's relevant but when i try to boot normally i get the HTC splash screen and it vibrates 7 times in a row...
So i think my goldcard might not be as golden as it should be. Should i try it with my other microSD, the one that i actually use in my phone, an 16 gb kingston?
If so can i use the same goldcard.img or should i create a new one?

Dear god how many times do I just need to repeat myself.
Just download http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152 , boot into fastboot mode, then run RUU.exe
There is no vodafone 2.3 RUU, there is only one, and it is unbranded.

If you still get CID error - you do not have a goldcard. Simple as that.

The 2.3 RUU always does something, if not for better than for worse.
ah right i'm sorry, i was a bit confused about that ruu because of some of the information displayed on shipped-rom.com. Prolly read it wrong or something.
Anyway the 2.3 RUU did indeed fix it! quite surprised after all this really didn't expect it! Thanks out a load and i'm sorry for touching a nerve there, it's just the first time doing anything like this so it was all a tad bit confusing!

Lol don't worry about it, everyone starts of a newb I remember posting some scare stories of mine a while back of when I first started messing with my phone
i have done research and i basically nail down the problem. i did search around and found options to resolve this.
one of it is using RUU options, i tried several times, but due to slow booting, the operation fail.
i try to use OTA, to update to 2.50.707.4, however, when it reboot, it stuck in the HTC black screen instead of white.
My problem problem is same as the one is found:
" powering up takes about 30 minutes - 20 minutes just black screen(so I thought phone completely broken), then HTC logo with approx 10 mins vibro, approx 5 mins silent, boot to android and then - working fast as usual. USB connection not recognizes, reboot to bootloader takes eternity and locks up in menu(maybe its just makes a move onse an hour, I dont tested so long)
Any advises?"
my problem came when i did the "one click eng s-off" as i wanna flash a new radio. after i have done the "one click eng s-ff", my device reboot and i am having the above super slow boot. i assume the hboot screw up or conflict with what i have done.
please please advice...
edit: however, i am able to go into bootloader and recovery using adb command (which take ages). my recovery is 4ext or something like that. i have a backup of my previous downgrade version before i flash the smartdroid. what should i do?
my backup after downgrade version is 2.37.707.3. what else i need to do?
edit: SOLVED
i revert back my hboot and everything done, very risky to have eng s-off.
from what i read, you probably have a device shipped with 3.x, and downgrading hboot causes that super slow booting. its a known problem...
actually, the problem is not caused by downgrading. this is what is did : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 "one click ENG S-OFF"
i just revert back hboot settings using the terminal and code provided from the thread, and problem gone. yet, i don't know what's go wrong. i think this problem is very rare as it is NOT due to downgrading process, as before i do the ENG S-OFF thing, i already downgrade the device and even flash smartdroid ROM in it with no issues.
actually i am helping my friend to root his phone. well, i own a samsung galaxy s2. i don't have to go through all the pain to root.
The issue happened when you flash the older Eng bootloader on a device that came with gingerbread.
Since the Eng bootloader is older(from froyo) it is as above hosted. Downgrading your bootloader. Its not as rare as might think. A lot of people have been in this spot

there might be a lot, but trying to search for this solution is as rare as i can describe. or should i say, i couldn't even search for it? i have to click one by one to search for it.
can you enlighten me with a link or steps to get eng s-off? coz all the search topic i found is actually quite technical, as i am sgs2 users, it is actually very hard to understand the term used in htc.
i might as well quit helping my friends with more rooting/hacking on htc as it is too risky and almost different from sgs2, and i don't wanna pay for any damages.

Their is no need to have Eng soff. It only causes issues for newer devices. Regualr soff is more than enough to flash a custom recovery,custom roms,radios,bootsplashes.
For example with engineering bootloader many people will use.the fastboot command to flash a radio(you guys might use modem). With soff to flash a radio it needs to be packed in a flashable BOOTLOADER zip file. We call them PD98IMG.zip. that's essentially the difference. Eng one can use a PC and fastboot to flash radios, while regular soff we pack it in a zip and flash in bootloader

so confusing >.<" anyway, my fren came back to me, he sent his phone for warranty. seems like the bootloader is giving him trouble again (back to very long boot up thing). i don't think i wanna touch HTC device ever.
i have a htc wildfire.. had unlocked my bootloader and i have super user installed on my phone. i rooted my phone to install the cyanogenmod. i used super user tool for rooting after unlocking my bootloader from htc dev website. i almost read all the stuff over xda to install cyanogenmod.
for installing the cyanogenmod i have to install the CWM.. now i tried to install it by each and every method.. each and every method is posing problems. I have my wildfire with "hBOT 1.02.000" "S ON". and it says "locked oow"...as far i am aware of this locked oow it means that i am out of warranty... is locked means that now my wildfire bootloader is again locked and i won't be able to flash the CWM.... what shoud i do .please guide me for installing CWM . i am frustrated with all the threats and i am frustrated with reading the threats all over the xda and other places..now please guide me thoroughly how to install CWM.. please don't copy and show any installation threat please...please write full method here. and please make sure that you mention each and every step clearly because i almost read each and every threat how to flash the CWM. but unable. i am ready to answer any question. treat me as new from installation point view... please do reply as soon as possible..i will wait for reply and will try anything for installing the cyanogenmd..

as far as I know the unlock method of htc dev doesn't give you s-off (which seems to be confirmed by yourself saying you're still s-on). S-on means "security on" what in other words means you won't be able to flash a custom recovery (if I'm not mistaken here).
You said that you have read every thread here about this - so you should know as it's mentioned all over this forum (that htc dev isn't the best method...). For how - and if - you still could get there I''m not too sure but you probably need to do an RUU, downgrade etc to do the suggested method (of the two corresponding threads here) instead of the htc dev thing.
But as I said: I_m not sure if you still can - probably someone has experience here?

No, no. He will be able to flash a custom recovery if he unlocked it using HTCDev, he won't, however, be able to modify the internal storage while the phone is booted.

ah, yes, thx for clearifying - so you can't get control over the partitions or what does it mean?
The htc dev method gives a different output to revo or alpha, if it says s-on with unlocked somewhere then fastboot is the only method that will work for flashing a custom recovery and although some things like the revovery partition are unlocked for flashing, some important things like radio aren't hence the s still being on........
I presume if it says s-on and locked then yes you have probably gone wrong somewhere and locked it again.
Theres not many people on here that have used the htc dev unlock tool i don't think so support might be a bit thin as we don't know much about it, try running through the htc dev unlock method again to hopefully get it unlocked again and then flash cwm by the fastboot method.
If it says locked then i can't think of any other way, downgrading to hboot 1.01.0001in order to use revolutionary may work but i'm not sure if you can or not as i have personally never done it.

If it says locked then i can't think of any other way, downgrading to hboot 1.01.0001in order to use revolutionary may work but i'm not sure if you can or not as i have personally never done it.

Looks like the problem is very similar to yours (and the thread starter solved it?).

i already tried buzz downgrade a long ago.i used the method as it is told on the website..:good:
but don't know why it doesn't work properly i have no idea why this don't work either. i read number of threats regarding it and i tried to google
with the errors that came with buzz downgrade. something just goes wrong with it in the first step but it just doesn't get completed. the phone does not respond when i ran the buzz downgade utility even after installing the htc driver from the buzz downgrade itself (don't remember exactly that it is explained over the internet). i did clearly everything whatever is written in the threats about how to use the buzz downgrade but in vain i stopped it trying.
i still have the setup of buzz downgrade in my laptop.:silly:
but why it doesn't work i don't know..and you know what i read that threat too in the past.
may be it is the problem of the bootloader that it is locked..

During your procedure,did you ever achieve the S-OFF ?
You need to downgrade from 1.02.0000 to 1.01.0001 to use Revolutionary.
Try this guide.
If you want revolutionary will automatically download the recovery and install it on your phone.
After gaining S-OFF if you can't get Unrevoked working in order to gain root.
Use this or try SuperOneClick.
Good luck:good:
Try the link in my Sig, it should help. First, I recommend running an RUU and relocking your bootloader using fastboot oem lock.
Then try the debranding and rooting guide in the Sig.

this is the thing i already tried a long ago. when the wildfire was updated to 2.2 version of android ,it changed into "wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002"..now as the threats i read there in the past, i can't run the revolutionary or any other method. because the htc has applied some sort of lock on the new bootloader. revolutionary gave some error which i don't remember as per the threats. in the mean time nobody able to find the solution of this new 1.01.0002 bootloader unlocking. then i that time i heard of htc dev website and in that time i used that website to unlock my bootloader and alas it got unlocked and my bootloader has been changed to 1.02.000.. but now i again find that my bootloader is locked may be.. how i don;t know about that.. i tried to run that method of buzz downgrade number of times thoroughly again and again as if u read in the thread above it give some sort of error and does't do anything for me. so i asked what else i do then this , again do i need go to htc dev website to unlock bootloader ??

Did you make any Gold-Card thing ?
so i asked what else i do then this , again do i need go to htc dev website to unlock bootloader ??

I never tried htcdev method so i have no idea about that.You should probably try their method once again,if that doesn't work,use the Gold card tool to downgrade the HBOOT using this guide.
Code:
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2
Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2
or follow usaff22's guide.

You didn’t answer me,What is the information on your HBOOT screen?
Power off the phone and ensure the phone is completely off. Then hold POWER + VOL-DOWN buttons together until the white HBOOT screen appears. Tell us your HBOOT info.
You are getting Customer ID error,It’s a bad Goldcard.You will have to create a new Goldcard.
>Connect it to your computer using an SD Adapter and format the card to FAT32 file system once again.
>Redownload and reextract the package.
>Follow this guide to create the Goldcard.It’s a bit more detailed.
Before doing anything download CCleaner and TFC and run them.TFC will ask you to reboot.Reboot the PC.
Now make the Goldcard.Good luck.

not really clear to me also - if I got him right he initially has been on 1.01.0002 (because of the Android update). Because there hasn't been a possibility by revolutionary yet at that time and for that bootloader he unlocked it at the htcdev site what made it 1.02.000.
But I'm a bit confused, too, so a detailed information of the fastboot screen would really help (or a pic).

As it says,your Bootloader is still LOCKED.
After using HTC dev unlock tool your HBOOT 1.01.0002 got changed to 1.02.000 while Bootloader is still locked.
i.e you probably missed some steps.
