Hi, my son has just infromed me that his HTC DESIRE HD is stuck on the HTC white startup screen, if you take the battery out & put it back in & hold the volume key when pressing the on button you do get in to the Bootloader (i think its called that) screen but we cant go any further. The phone has been hacked & has a custom rom installed on it but he cant remember with one.
If someone could explain what i need to do to get it working again i would be very gratefull & not worried what rom goes onit.
Thanks All

Read post#7, it should have everything you need to know. If you have any questions just post them there since this is the development section.

Insert a ROM into the SD Card! Go to the recovery through the bootloader. Full wipe and flash the new ROM! Tada
Sent from my Desire HD from Outer Space!!!
If you can get into the bootloader and the phone was on the stock ROM, you can pretty much reset it through the bootloader itself.
1. Reboot into Bootloader(Yes, the white screen with colorful text and options) by holding the Vol Down key while pressing the power button.
2. Navigate to the "Bootloader" option in that screen(Navigation can be done by pressing the Vol up/down keys) and select it(by pressing the power button).
3. You should see a screen with options like "Fastboot", "Recovery", etc.. Navigate to the "Factory Reset" option and select it by pressing the power button. Your phone should reset to factory setting and work fine(if it was on a stock ROM).
If it still doesn't work and you can get past the splashscreen into the bootanimation, I'm pretty sure you can flash an RUU. Its an executable file that installs the stock ROM on the phone. Get the appropriate one according to your region and carrier from here : http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
Start your phone, connect it to pc via cable. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your pc and then run the executable RUU on the PC. The rest I think you'll be able to manage via on-screen instructions.
Hope you solve your problem.
Oh and yeah this is not the correct section though.. Please request the moderator to move it to the Q&A or the General Section. Helps keep the forum organized.

To be honest, if your son is old enough to have a smartphone and smart enough with a computer to unlock a locked boot loader, he should be able to use Google
If I was him, I would Google "unbrick desire HD" if i was stuck, but I think he could fix it by loading a ROM, maybe jelly time, that's a nice stableish ROM, onto the sdcard and try rebooting recovery by doing the power volume button combo. If he is in able to reboot recovery, only boot loader, he could try using the fast boot commands from the android SDK. If he doesn't know what they are, he shouldn't have rooted his phone, I don't recommend rooting unless you know what each piece of software you install on PC or android does.
I've had this issue as well when I installed a rom with a wrong md5 hash. It also wiped the recovery which was strange. Finally I got it working by placing the PD98IMG file on my sd card which it automatically installs when you go the bootloader. So that might fix it.

^^this^^… really though, if you're stuck, try getting into recovery from the bootloader... if he rooted his phone then more than likely he has a custom recovery installed, such as clockworkmod, twrp, 4ext, etc... from there he can flash a new ROM, wipe his device of the one causing problems, etc... just follow on screen instructions. If he doesn't have a nandroid backup made (or any kind of backup you can restore from whatsoever) then just wipe everything and install JellyTime... download the latest release (a .zip file) from the thread (search DHD, JellyTime)... transfer onto his SD card, use the custom recovery to install from the SD card, and there ya go...

ok, Just follow what Teichopsia said. Ignore the rest of the comments as they only troll and won´t solve your issue. The main thing to know is how the phone was hacked. In bootloader, in the top left corner you see something like ACE PVT.....just find if you are S-OFF or S-ON.
If you are S-ON, then tell me if it says *UNLOCKED* in the top. That will determine how you can sort your issue out. Follow the post Teichopsia suggested and you will be fine. If you have any doubts or get stuck just post your questions in that thread.

Ok, just to be sure... Did you check the md5 sum on the JellyTime-R10 zip to make sure it downloaded correctly?
And when flashing the ROM, did you follow the instructions exactly in post #7 on the procedure thread you followed to root (flashing the boot.img separately)?
If you did both of those, try downloading a different ROM and flashing it, just to see if you can get it to work. If not, try going through the root process again step by step and make sure you didn't miss anything... At this point, you make also want to consider going through one of the guides to manually s-off after unlocking with htcdev, since flashing ROMs is easier if you're s-off.

G2 is semi-bricked because my brother was going to permanently root the G2 and right when the process finished, is when the phone was semi-bricked because he "forgot" a step (great -_- human error)
Just a few things:
Yeah i can go into recovery (VOL down + Power Button) but, im a noob at recovery things, so i dont know how or what to use or do like i said, i've researched a lot and done the steps that i read online and still nothing, so i rather get answers/help from great people in here (i heard this forum is really smart/good at Android stuff)

explain your semi bricked status... how do you know its semi bricked? which step did he miss?
also you be better off asking in guide how to recover semi bricked phone rather than asking in Q & A....experienced mods usually follow that thread and reply to ppl who have queries
it wont go into the Android OS, it just stays stuck at HTC. No further. And he didnt tell me, but he watched a video on youtube.

here is the link to the desire z /G2 wiki...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
go straight to the rooting section and try to find out which method was he using to root your phone... when you narrow that down try to find which step he missed.....when all thats done than either post here exactly which method was he using and which step he missed.....or post in the semi bricked page.....
right now the most current recommended method is using Gfree...
also try to see if you have access to your recovery and if clockworkmod recovery is installed or not....
for that take out your battery and put it back in.... hold volume down and power button....
it will boot into boot loader
give it few seconds to display that "waiting for SD card Pb10.img not found"
than use volume down button to navigate to recovery and use power button as click selection..... if it boots up into clockworkmod recovery than you have custom recovery installed
Yeah i dont have CWM installed, just checked. And what my brother told me is that he was "temporary rooted" then he tried to "perm root", but actually, he didnt go to youtube, he tried to perm root using the VISIONary method.

check wiki for htc vision ... for how to fix errors during rooting.....
also if you wanna root gfree is recommended software lately..... check wiki to confirm.....
also try factory reset.... by turning phone off... than holding power button and volume up and down button .... i think.....confirm via wiki
Well i also cant do any adb steps because adb doesnt detect my G2 (although it detects it when im in recovery (the menu with a phone and red exclamation point) but it says its offline) i can only use fastboot
and btw my G2 is S-ON
and i have done factory resets and nothing
I'm not as experianced as a lot of the but have you tryed the pc10img via fast boot? That might work scince everything is stock on your phone
/edit have you gone the the adb guides it took me a few times but I finally got it...adb looks the best way to go

it might be because you tried the 1.12 verison pc10img.zip and your phone came with updated 1.19 version
PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b _26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip
try this one by putting in your sd card. your phone should flash it and it shouldnt say version is older...
download from here
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
when you put it in sd card rename it to just PC10img.zip and reboot into bootloader and when it asks you to flash. let it flash
I'll try that right now, but I think I did use the 1.19 one but can't recall.
I'll edit this post to tell you if it works
EDIT:It still says Main Version is Older...you think i need to use the 1.12 one?

Well, apparently you don't know what you're talking about. There is no such thing as rooting on Windows Mobile. You're talking about HardSPL.
Did you install the HTC drivers or HTC Sync?
To find out whether your phone is rooted go into the bootloader (turn phone off, then hold volume down when you power it back on). When the bootloader starts up if it says "S-OFF" at the top of the screen you are rooted. If it says "S-ON" then you are not.

Try a different computer/USB cable?
Can ADB see your device when it's plugged in?
Are you S-OFF? If so, try flashing a different ROM and see if the problem goes away.
Like others said, too difficult to definitively say what's going wrong without you providing some more information.

how do you flash a custom rom, im stupid and cant find it :'( and btw this has to be through an sd card cause i think cant do nothing with my usb :/
do you have root permitions ? if so - download rom manager (at market), at first click on flash clockwork recovery and when its done take "download rom" - choose which one you want to and follow the steps that will rom manager tell you.
otherwise you could (after flashing recovery) put some rom to your sdcard, go to the recovery (power button + volume up; take care to not have pc10img file on your sdcard in that moment) - go to the recovery, wipe data /cache, advanced - wipe battery status / dalvik; back , instal zip - choose zip file with rom - and you are ready to go.

i do have recovery mode what can i do with that?

Is there a guide for this?
Hey guys.
I'll keep it short and simple. I just had my phone back from insurance. They sent me a replacement. It was originally unbranded. But now it's a T-Mobile handset. I was using Ace Hack kit to root the phone. Half way through the radio.img update the USB just spazzed out. So the phone disconnected.
Now when it boots. The T-Mobile logo appears.. then fades out.
I can boot into the bootloader and use fastboot. I attempted using a RUU to fix it but it just gets stuck on 'sending' until it says Unknown Error.
So I can access it through fastboot USB. Is there any thing I can do with ADB to get it running again? I just got it back today aswell. Damn.
Appreciate all your helps! Thanks!

that is fully covered in the manual...just plug the phone (if you did not factory reseted it) and run the hack kit from the black screen. That should update and finish the process...
I can't see if you are S-OFF in hboot, but if u are, then just flash CWM recovery and then a custom rom....it's up to you.

that is fully covered in the manual...just plug the phone (if you did not factory reseted it) and run the hack kit from the black screen. That should update and finish the process...

If you can enter hboot have you tried a pd98 zip rom.

DO NOT FLASH A FROYO RUU or HBOOT on a device shipped with gb. Your phone will get messed up and its a PITA to fix. The op needs to fix his connection issues before attempting the kit again. The easiest is using a live cd.
A pd98 will also get you back up and running to a useable phone.

SORRY my bad forgot to mention it thnx for mentioning..
Ok, for You to have a working phone You will need to find a ruu for your phone. Flash it in PD98IMG.zip way or vía fastboot....when u have a working phone again then fix Your PC and re run the Hack Kit
And keep the usb plugged in this time, i had same problem with a friend's phone and with the help of aahk irc i managed to flash boot image through adb ( big pain it took almost 30 mins) and afterwards a working ruu and when everything was stock and i ran aahk again my friend's little sister unpluged usb by mistake so i flashed a dhd all night long, the point is kill everything/everyone that might interfear with flasing a phone.

As far as I know we don't have an AOKP ROM. Where did you get it? Try to boot into recovery by pulling the battery, putting it back, and holding power and volume-down.

Get a ROM from the Dev section of the Desire HD thread here on xda
I bought the xda app. Problem?
Hi I was trying to root the Desire HD using AAHK
so the downgrade went not so smooth i would say as I had to do it maybe 3 times. Anyway, it booted up and played with the rom for a while
now I want to root it, I tried running the AAHK tool and it flashed busbox and then the radio but after rebooting, it became stuck with the HTC logo (with white background)
I dont even have access to the bootloader, tried removing battery, reinsert, press down and power
still on HTC logo, is there a way to fix this?
I believe the answer is in the guide. If not report back.

I believe you can still run adb from that screen.
You can check with the command:
adb devices
To see if it recognizes it. From there you can do
adb reboot recovery
To see if it works. But you will need to double check the command for the last one. Don't quite remember it. The link I gave you should have it somewhere there or just google the command.

Teichopsia thank you I tried "adb reboot recovery" and it brought up the "phone with triangle exclamation mark" logo
i now have the options
reboot system now
apply sdcard :update.zip
wipe data factory reset
wipe cache partition
what should I do next?
edit:
tried the two wipe options hoping it would restore the phone, still hamgs on the HTC logo, what the update.zip supposed to be? a rom? or the PD98IMG.zip?

oops sorry about my typo, it's S-On
I'm afraid to try AAHK now because it caused my phone to softbrick twice. And now I don't have attn1's help to recover it again since he banned me from the IRC.
Don't worry we help you.
1:Make sure you disable any antivirus before downloading AAHK.
2: disable and uninstall any unnecessary services. (Covered in the effen manual)
3: uninstall HTC sync and install the one in the hack kit map.
4: connect your phone to your computer in charge mode only with USB debugging on.
5: start the hack kit and do the downgrade.
Everything is in the manual read and understand its highly important.

The kit requires a gold card for every device. Reformatting doesn't wipe the goldcard. It sounds like your laptop may be having USB issues. Or you need to use a different sd card. Not all sd cards will play nice with the goldcard hack. I'm just curious why wouldn't you let attn1 connect to your pc? He would have surely got it worked out for you. He makes a tool and offers free support for it on his own time. He was just probably offended that you went to him for help and then won't let him help you. He just uses teamviewer and when done he can't get back in unless you generate a new code for him. He is completely trustworthy. I used to be in the irc chat and the only reason it exists is for support. Sometimes its absolutely necassary for him to remote in and just fix it for you since walking you through is going to take up more of his time and you may not be able to keep up. He knows his stuff.

Hi Gizmoe,
I see, maybe I'll use a different sd card or usb cable next time I try it. Regarding the remote access, maybe I was reluctant to allow an experienced hacker such as attn1 to directly access my laptop, you know just to be safe. Better to be safe than sorry right? I did not intend to offend him whatsoever. And he was grumpy to begin with. And though he answers like that way he did, I still thanked him for helping me fix my device. Maybe he's an old guy.
When you tried rooting yours. did it went smoothly?

hi can you complete this step?
when my htc desire got into soft brick while I was trying to root, attn1 gave me this very same instruction so I got my phone running again on stock
I want to learn this in case my phone got stuck again at the HTC logo (after flashing the radio)
1. go to HBOOT
2. go to fast boot
3. plug device into computer and make sure it read FASTBOOT USB
then he told me something to run cmd prompt as admin and
adb something something, then asked the directory was where I put my PD98IMG (which was on my desktop)
sorry I can no longer remember so I am asking for your help.
can you complete the steps above so I can try rooting again. I know that If I get stuck I can push the stock rom again
I really want to root my device.

When I rooted we still had to hack our own gold card but it went smoothly.
The fastboot USB method will actually work with a stock ruu so there really is no need to do it manually.
If things go wrong do this
1. Download ruu from HTC
2. Download and install HTC sync and make sure its running
3. Put phone into fastboot USB
4. Run ruu from computer and follow prompts til finished
If you run kit after doing above step make sure HTC sync is uninstalled and that the drivers from the aahk are installed.

HTC drivers from the hackit were installed
I am using a different usb cable this time (an original USB cable from my blackberry phone) will it matter that much?
getting a little desperate here, i might try an older version of AAHK, looks like old desire users doesnt have that much problem with it
found this http://unlockroot.com/, it says it supports Desire HD, anyone tried this before?

An unlocked bootloader with S-On still permits flashing of custom ROMs. Is your recovery updated? If not, do that.

The guide in post #7 of the guide in my signature is pretty clear. Read that. What is important to know is whether your phone is S-On bootloader unlocked or S-Off. Since you didn't hang on the boot splash when you flashed ARHD, I'm guessing S-Off. But just to be safe: to find this information, reboot while holding power and volume-down. That is your bootloader, known as hboot. What does it say? Finally, my hunch is that you need to update your recovery. The guide has instructions for that, but basically, download the image to your computer and flash it from fastboot.
Oh, and you may need to install your drivers on your computer. Install HTC Sync from the HTC website.

When you're tired, it's best to get some sleep. Most mistakes happen when sleepy and tired (been there!) so I'd suggest a little shut-eye and continue then
Sounds to me like the problem will get solved pretty soon, just read the guides and don't rush things. If unsure, read the guide (for what-ever you are doing) a second or a third time and don't try doing many things at the same time (ie.don't try updating your radio, rom, & recovery all at the same time ).
Pretty much anything can be fixed as long as you got recovery working so don't stress too much. Best of luck and hope you get your phone working soon :good:
Still havn´t found a solution for my problem, but i think i´m on to something....
I think the problem with my phone is the boot.img.... i can´t flash it correctly...
Dont know what program to use or what file to download.... i tried openning a command list but i and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" as i´ve seen on other posts but i always get "this is not known as an internal or external command, etc...."
What can i doooooooooooooo?!!!! going crazy with this
Hey buddy, stay calm haha. I had the exact same problem. The problem is that although you tried to flash it, you nee to have the boot.img and some files including fastboot.exe. All of the files you need and how to flash the rom are in a guide by glevitan. You can just google it.
