[Q] [q] help desire z bricked

hey i was reading through the guide and wanted to root my phone and i did put all the root_psn psneuter gfree etc files in the platform-tools folder and used the commands on the phone. after all i did reboot on command prompt and on guide it was written that phone will root and u need to reboot. after that my phone is stuck on htc white screen with htc logo and doing nothing. tried rebooting but no luck. PLEASE HELP ME. and on my microsd card there is no rom right now
thanks in advance...

ok try this:
connect your phone to pc and start adb... type adb devices while stucked on screen and look if your phone shows up, if it does type adb reboot bootloader
or pull battery and press power & volume down to enter bootloader
then tell us whats written in your bootloader... means is it s-off and what hboot number?

thanks a lot for your reply.
it says ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC1011000)
MICROP-0425
EMMC-BOOT
AVG 20 2010 16:51:01
HBOOT

ok, doesn´t look to bad.
try to enter recovery, if it works mount usb storage put a rom you like on your sd unmount and flash it through recovery
if you can´t enter recovery you have to flash recovery using fastboot: download the image and put it in your platform tools folder; go to platform tools and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then enter recovery and do what i posted above...

i mounted my card and put in the runnydroid rom on it. then i used install zip from sdcard and it installed rom successfully but it is still not booting

don´t use a sense rom, take cm7... you need a different hboot for sense roms to boot (the desire z one)
EDIT: first try to boot into a aosp rom, if it works and you still want a sense 3.5 rom use this guide to change hboot: http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html

hey i dont understand. which rom should i use? i have stock froyo rom which i used to downgrade my phone. which rom are u talking about? is it sense 3.0? will it work>?

it´s not sense, don´t use the one you have from downgrade. take cm7.1 from the link above

thanks a lot sir i am downloading and will tell if it works. i would like to know if i will be able to get back htc sense rom? i want runnydroid can u tell me how to get it after installing this rom? and if there is no way to get custom rom then at least is there way to get the froyo stock rom which i used to downgrade?

if you are able to boot in cm7 (which is a custom rom) you can install any custom rom you want... a good sense 2.0 rom for example is this one: http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/sense.html
for sense 3+ roms you have to change hboot (i already posted a link for a really easy guide)
...follow this guide and then put a sense rom of your choice on sdcard and flash it through recovery
but first hope that you can boot into cm7....

sir you are very nice my phone is now running well on this firmware. sir the link that you provided to me doesnt have anything about how to install sense roms or channge the hboot. please can you give any link to help me install a custom sense rom?thanks alot

http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
and then flash a sense 3.5 rom (pls don´t call me sir)

thanks a lot so after
After the second reboot, the device will be sitting on the “HTC” screen doing nothing. This is normal, do not panic. It is because you have no ROM installed anymore.
after getting into recovery after all above steps, i can select custom sense zip file from sdcard and install>

[Q] !!!Please help with bootloader unlock!!!!

I tried a lot of method to unlock my bootloader on HTC Wildfire S, proble is that i have software 2.26.401.3 and baseband 47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M.....if tried directly on the pc with ruu.exe i gave the error 140....when i put the ruu on SDCard it say the the version is older....i make a goldcard, and he said again the the version is older.....if i tried to flash he said ''FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>''
I want to specify that the phone is unlocked, i tried 4 carriers and all work's good!
On HBOOT it say ***LOCKED*** and is S-ON
Please help! give me some advice!
PS: Sorry for my bad english!

Dont flash the RUU,directly go to the unlocking procedure
New updates have unlockable HBOOTS

Thanx
But, was a moment ideea to flash, i know that it is not good to flash it first, problem is that i tried and i read a lot of post's from XDA with unlocking procesdure for Wildfire S but why is the reason that not work for me!
If someone can help i apreciate!

Csoul is correct. Your bootloader is already updated to an unlockable one and you need to start at htcdev.com with the step that retrieves your identifier token and sends it up to their website. You cannot update your bootloader further.

Another problem!
I want to thank you for your advice, i make it UNBLOCKED with htcdev...but now, after i installed recovery.5.0.2.8 it stuck on black screen, HBOOT it's ok, boot ok, but it won't enter in recovery to instal root.zip!!!
What can i do now?
please help me!

it means cwm has not been flashed properly .so only you get black screen when you enter recovery .
Step 1: Flashing the Custom Recovery UI by XDA.cn
Again, make sure your device is S-OFF.
Again, make sure your memory card is formatted FAT32.
Place the PG76IMG.zip file into your phone SD card.
Disable Fast Boot from your phone settings (Settings > Power > Disable Fastboot)
Turn your phone off.
Hold down the "power" button and the "volume down" button for a few seconds till you see the HBOOT screen.
Don't press anything. The system will scan for some files and it will prompt you for an update. Move the cursor to OK (volume up) to start the flashing process.
After it finishes, press the "power" button to restart the system.
Let Android boot and delete the PG76IMG.zip file from your SD card via USB.
Congrats! Custom recovery has been installed. Process to step 2.
Step 2: Flashing the rooting script by XDA.cn
Copy the root.zip file into your phone SD card.
Turn your phone off.
Boot into recovery: Hold down the "power" button and the "volume down" button for a few seconds till you see the HBOOT screen. Let it do its thing and then select "RECOVERY".
At the recovery menu, use the volume buttons to select "install zip from sd card".
Then select "choose zip from sd card".
Then find the "root.zip" file on the list.
Select "YES".
Let the script do its thing till you see "Install from sd card completed".
Select "Go Back" on the menu till you find the "power off" option and select it.
Turn your phone back on and let Android boot
you can use the custom recovery PG76IMG.img or else clockworkmod recovery from
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
cwm recovery have more options ,so i prefer you to use that .
you can find those FILES in the source which i have specified.
source : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1195275

Thanx, problem is that i can't make it S-OFF
ok, i understand and i saw this thread in many site's, but problem is that my phone it isn't S-OFF, is UNBLOCKED with help from HTCDEV but i don't know exacly how to make S-OFF!
Android 2.3.5
Sofware 2.26.401.3
PS: i tried to do this but at the stept when i put PG76IMG.img it said in HBOOT the version is older!
please help if you know some tips!!!

you need an xtc clip to get s-off you can probably go to a phone shop and ask them to do that for you. but htc unlocked is good enough if you're only going to flash roms or root

If you have ADB installed, do this.
Download the Recovery image from here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Put it in a folder where you have installed adb. Example: c:\android
Then reboot phone into bootloader and enter fastboot mode after it scans.
Connect the phone by USB cable. The FASTBOOT should change into FASTBOOT USB. If it doesn't, download and install HTC Sync.
Go to cmd and type the following:
cd c:\android
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
It should flash successfully.
Then enter recovery and flash root.zip
Done! Enjoy.

so you unlocked your bootloader through htcdev.then use htcsupertool to root your phone then install cwm recovery from market and then install it.now when you select recovery from hboot menu it ll take you to cwm recoverymode then install custom roms which you want.

okay thanx.follow the steps:
your unlocked bootloader through htc dev so use htcsupertool to root it.wants brief information here is the thread see it.
http://www.htcwildfiresblog.com/2012/03/guide-to-rooting-htc-wildfire-s-235-s.html
now you re rooted.then open android market find clockwork mod recovery.install it.after when you open it it ll ask for root access ,allow it.
and in clockwork mod app you will see first clockwork recovery mod click on that screen displays your model "wildfire s" then install it.now you have successfully installed cwm recovery.
its dont..find custom roms which you want and place in your sd card.(just in sdcard dont put it in any folder)
now when you want to install custom roms go to recovery mode (via hboot>recovery or cwm app second option recovery mode)
then install files from sd card and select your rom.zip
its easy.hope its works.but dont forget to backup your stock rom ok..
good luck
---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------
and about increasing internal memory:
two options:link2sd,app2sd
first of all you have to download minipartition tool
http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html
and format your sd card to fat32,ext4 and linux swap.
then if you want to increasing your internal memory in your stock rom just install link2sd from android market.thats it
and
want app2sd install custom rom which supports app2sd and you have to a zip file which you can get at your rom(if it supports app2sd) named app2sdinstaller.zip kind of.and install it via cwm recovery after installing rom.
overclocking kernel:
i dont have knowledge about that but its mainly depends on your custom rom.if rom has oc kernel you can overclock it by setcpu,no frills etc apps.(dont overclock more than 768Mhz,it ll dangerous can melt your phone)

Not work

okay.you done same as mentioned here:
Now that you have unlocked your bootloader,launch SuperTool.exe.
Make sure your phone is loaded as normal and that USB Debugging is enabled.
Press 1 to prep using Zergrush method.
Once it has done that, press 3 to root.
Once it has rooted, type reboot and then press enter.
It will reset your phone and you should now have root.
(If it did not work, try pressing 2 instead of 1 on the above instruction.)
Now on your phone,superuser app ll installed on your phone directly but if thats dont work.go to market and download superuser app.and tried hope it ll work.
if it isnt work tried again.once i have same problem as you re facing but when i again use supertool it ll work.

it won't work
i tried step by step all you say, but unfortunately doesn't work!!!
what can i do ?

[Q] Desire HD stuck at boot screen after installing any custom ROM

Hi, for some reason, my device won't boot after flashing some custom ROM.
I've tried these 3 ROMs:
1: codefireX - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003273
2: CyanogenMod 10.1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073992
3: Nik Project X v4.1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843300
I've cleared all caches, wiped my device, and installed all ROMs as described, but after I reboot all I get is a white screen which says "htc" in green.... I've waited for over 30 minutes each time, but the boot screen remains.
What am I doing wrong?

Are you S-OFF or have an unlocked bootloader?

I rooted my device, but it is still S-ON. However, the bootloader does say "*** UNLOCKED ***"

Then you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot everytime you flash a rom. Otherwise your device won't boot. To find out how to do that, use the guide in my signature...:good:

Appreciate your help, but that didn't do the trick. I downloaded the att-ace-30-isboot.zip, extracted boot.img and flashed it "fastboot flash boot x:\boot.img". The Desire HD still does not boot.
Also, for my Wildfire S (also S-ON) I can install any ROM I like, and the device boots fine. No need to reflash some boot.img
Any more thoughts?

I don't get it. Why on earth are you flashing that boot.img?? You need to flash the rom you are trying to flash boot.img.....That image is just for the Inspire 4G and has nothing to do with any of the roms you flashed.
S-ON and Unlock bootloader are two different things. S-OFF does not require to have an unlocked bootloader....Being S-ON is fine if you unlock the bootloader.

HAHA, I had a feeling I did not understand what boot.img you were talking about.
So I further investigated the zips that a custom ROM provides, and I notice the boot.img in the root of each ZIP. So I flashed that... guess what... it works quite simple
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello
I need help. Please
I recently brought a friend's phone (Desire HD) to flash custom ROM on. I flashed boot.img via fastboot but when I select recovery, A white screen with HTC shows and after a few seconds, black screen occurs. I know screen is on however. I dont know what to do. The bootloader says unlocked but it says
S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
The steps that I did was.
1. I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. It gave me error so I updated via RUU manually through fastboot.
2. After that, I was able to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.
3. I followed this (http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/04/...android-422-jellytime-jelly-bean-rom-guide/2/) to flash method to Jelly-time on DHD. But when I flashed boot.img via fastboot cmd, it does not go to Recovery, it only shows phone with exclamation mark. If I reboot the phone, it shows white HTC screen and then black black screen. Please help me what to do. After unlocking via HTCDev, I didn't intall CWM, I though flashing boot.img is actually installing CWN :'|

That is the issue, that you didn't flash the rom. You need a custom recovery to flash the rom first and then the boot.img. You just flash a boot.img file from a different rom without flashing the rom itself.
Boot into fastboot usb and then flash recovery. You can use the guide or the tools in my signature to do that or just flash it manually. Then, flash the rom in recovery and just then fastboot flash the boot.img.

I did use your guides to work it up. I flashed recovery via fastboot and flashed the ROM (along with gapps). It is working. However, I fastboot flashed boot.img of the same ROM BEFORE flashing recovery and hence before flash ROM. However it is working so all good
Thanks a lot

DHD Wont Boot after Custom ROM
HI,
OK...
I have an S-ON DHD with unlocked bootloader and decided to upgrade the android version.
Decided I'd start with 5.1.1 (cm-12.1-20150509-UNOFFICIAL-ace).
I have TWRP (openrecovery-TWRP-ace-2.8.1.2-unofficial) installed as recovery manager.
So installed the ROM but phone would not boot - stayed on HTC screen.
Looking for the cause I find that I need to flash flash boot.img of the ROM I want to use as it is S-ON.
BUT - to do so I need to use fastboot and at this stage I can only get into recovery and fastboot devices shows no devices hence I can't issue :
fastboot flash boot my.img​
I think I should have kept a recovery of the original ROM but .... what could possibly go wrong ....
So bottom line I have a phone that won't boot but can get into recovery.
Any and all suggestions gratefully accepted
Cheers,
Paul

Ok - thanks 4 your help everyone ....
Ok the issue related to the fact that the laptop(s) I were using both (Win10) somehow got stuffed up by the HTC Diagnostic drivers which caused one of the laptops to blue screen (Driver Power State Failure error) on a restart and the other to hang.
Once I restarted successfully the adb and fastboot devices re-appeared and I simply flash booted the boot.img from my android 5 rom and all now good

4.[ FLASHING YOUR KERNEL SHOULD BE THE LAST STEP][UNLESS U HAVE A S-OFF DEVICE]
that goes against what it says Further down the thread.

Anyways, my bootloader screen says the following:
*****Unlocked*****
primoc pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-1.53.0000
radio-1.00.00.0521_2
fastboot usb
vol up
vol down
power
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down
How do I install the ROM i.e. next step please.

Have you installed custom recovery after rooting your device? If not, you should do that first. There are steps in the same guide to install recovery.
If you have done that, get into recovery (not bootloader) and explore it, you wil have an option to install from sdcard. Be sure to do a backup of your current ROM before you install new ROM.
Hope it helps

Thanks! I completely overlooked the significance of the recovery.img within the guide for mounting the custom ROMs
Things noted from reading the forum
1. Since I'm with Virgin Mobile my device is PrimoC (CDMA)
----break---
1. On the custom ROM page it list (2) seperate kernels, so am I stuck with using just Jmz-PrimoC-kernel-ICS-20120820.zip or can I search the forum for another for instance SickleKernelv42_primoc.img?

It actually doesn't matter if you flash it before and after, but if your phone doesn't boot if you flashed a kernel before flashing the ROM you'll have to reflash the kernel.

[Q] HTC One X rooting has phone dying in the pits of hell

Hello users of this fine forum! :highfive:
I'm having a bit of a problem whilst rooting my HTC One X.
I first read up about unlocking the phone, ADB and recovery mods (using the teamwin one since it seems to be recommended for my device, but can use clockwork too)
I then proceeded to:
unlock my phone using htcdev
do a fast wipe using the teamwin recovery mod
flash a new boot.img in the fastboot section
install the rom called Android Revolution HD 31.3
used a youtube guide called "HTC One X: Android Revolution HD (Sense 4.1 ICS 4.0.4) - How to Install - Cursed4Eva" which seemed to work pretty flawless
and... got stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen for the rest of eternity
I've got the HTC One X international (CID is HTC_E11) and thought this would be a breeze. Looks like something went wrong though, and after about 15 hours of trying to repair the problem on my own using multiple threads (had the same problem using viperrom 2.7.0 and the newest version (3.1.4 i think?) ) I thought I'd turn to the experts for help.
So... heroes of the internet, please help a brother on the quest for technological enlightenment out?
Thanks in advance and best regards.
P.S. if you need anything from me (such as logs or such, I'd be happy to provide)
EDIT: it now actually gives me the HTC One animation after the quietly brilliant startup thingy, but gets stuck on that step of the booting process. This happened after I re-fastbooted the boot.img for the 69th time.
EDIT 2: used CWM to install the rom aswell, this also doesn't work.

ဲJust try with Philz_Touch recovery >>>> http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16046#files
Install again the rom with full wipe via Philz recovery.

okay, thanks!
does it matter which version i use?
by the way, phone is S-ON. as far as i read, this couldn't be the problem?

Use the latest version (6) and indeed s-on is not a problem.
Also check your hnoot number and flash a sense 5 rom.
Or PM me with future trouble, we can continue in Dutch if you like

Thanks for your help Mr Hofs will send you a PM aswell. Much appreciated.
The rom I'm flashing is sense 5.0, installed the rom with Phil'z Touch, CWM and TWRM, so I think it's safe to say that the recovery mod isn't causing my problem. What I do is install the rom from my internal sd card using a recovery mod, then reboot into fastboot and load the boot.img either via a batch file or via ADB commands in DOS prompt (or CMD. Do people still call it DOS? ). Yet my phone still hangs on the loading screen. I did a wipe before installing my rom using Phil'z touch aswell.
my hboot number.. the text I get when i enter bootloader:
***UNLOCKED***
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.12.0000
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-2.1204.135.20
eMMC-bootmode: disabled
CPU-bootmode: disabled
HW Secure boot: enabled
MODEM PATH: OFF
Jun 28 2012, 11:31:28
and then the standard options (fastboot, recovery and so on)

Ah yeah hnoot is too low. You can run the 2.17.401 ruu to get back to stock and then update the phone all the way up to sense 5.
Edit :
The ruu via android file ruu's is broken (only 80mb) that's too small for a ruu. You can also restore the stock rom (nandroid backup)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mmky63x341z36zg/stock recovery 2.17.img
Unpack the nandroid to the sdcard, flash the recovery.img and boot.img from the nand backup folder. Make a full wipe and restore the nandroid. Then flash back the stock 2.17 recovery i linked and update the phone via official ota. You do not have to relock the bootloader !
