[Q] Desire bricked? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello,
first of all, I have to say that Im a newbie.
I tried to install Cyanogenmod7 and think that I broke my phone,
but maybe u can help.
1. I installed the USB driver for Win7
2. I rooted my standard Desire GSM with unrevoked, using Clockworkmod recovery (I think it functioned)
3. Then I tried to install CM7, the installation was successful, but when I started my phone it hang in the bootscren with the blue androidguy and nothing went on.
4. A friend said that I have maybe to S-Off the Phone.. so I tried BUT: In step 3 of the Alpharev-software my Desire was frozen again.. I could not do anything and I knew that its maybe bricked. After 2 hours I decided to cut it off the computer.
Now it starts automatically in the Hboot 0.93 screen and i can use the Clockwork recover software. But when I try to install a ROM with the recoversoftware it doesnt function. I also tried to install that:
shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
But it errors, too.
What shall I do? Is it broken?
Thanks for any help.

Okay, so I see that you used Unrevoked, however, did you also use unrevoked forever? If not, s-off hasnt been enabled. You must use Unrevoked Forever to allow custom ROM's.
After doing that, you can revert to stock by searching for "latest desire stock". Load that, then you can attempt ROM.
Unrevoked Forever installs like a .zip on the root of your card. Just go to the unrevoked site to grab the forever program. Place it in the root of the card, and then go into recovery and install.
Next, since you may not be able to access the phone, reboot and place the Cyanogenmod rom in the root of the sd card and go into recovery and install.
Let me know what happens.

Hi,
I cant install unrevoked forever.
I downloaded patch 1.3 here:
downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever.zip
Clockworkmod says:

Hmm ... Has my Clockworkmod recovery software a bug?

If I try to flash it again with unrevoked I get the error:
Device "/sbin/sh: getprop: not found" is not supported at this time
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Okay,
I found the Bug from Alpharev:
*** Stuck on step 3 (phone is displaying progress) ***
There are several possibilities:
1. No output other than 'Normal/New NAND detected.' -> Nothing was flashed, restore your ROM and try again.
Please use AlphaRev using a stock ROM. No data2ext/whatever or other scripts that mount a SDext partition as /data.
Later versions than 1.8 will try to account for this. For now, use a stock ROM instead.

Thats exactly what happened, but it deleted my ROM which was actually on my phone

okay so what's the news now. (Sorry bout the delay). Is everything working? Let me know because I have a custom setup that can get you back to stock and then start over.

[Q] CWM recovery no option atrix 4g

Hi everyone,
Sorry to ask this question but I'm really in need of help here, I have been reading and trying for the whole week how to install a custom ROM but unfortunately I'm having a hard time, I have an Atrix 4g motorola mobile from AT&T I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader, I have installed the adb also, then I'm trying to install CWM for Atrix 4g but I'm not successful, it looks succesful when I flashboot the device it even showed me "Flashing storemgr 505" then I typed flashboot reboot, hoping I will be able to use Rom manager then when I try to install Greyblur ROM from http://briefmobile.com/greyblur-rom-for-motorola-atrix-4g using the ROM manager(install from SD card), it will reboot and go the the android(exclamation point) logo, without the option of CWM recovery, it has only 4 options which is the default one
wipe data/cache
wipe cache partition
reboot
apply update from sdcard
I don't know what to do now, If I choose the update from sdcard it is saying error "cant open /cache/recovery command".
By the way I have downloaded the file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541 so i don't think the file is the problem.
Thanks in advance.
I would recommend returning to stock firmware(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072) and watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHWRdnekvl8
I originally had a lot of trouble too when I got my atrix but that video goes step by step.
What your doing wrong is trying to flash through Rom Manager. You need to reboot into recover via Tenfars CWM app, then flash from sdcard. Do not use Rom Manager it is not ready for the Atrix yet. Use Tenfars and you should have no prob.
Thanks guys appreciate that, I'll try that out and let you know.
Hi guys, I went to flash back again to 1.26 now I was able to install application from non-market apps, and phone is rooted but the issue now is my wifi, since it is restricted here in our country I have followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077329
Before when I was using the 1.86 I dont have any issue following the link above, but now it is not working.
Thanks in advance.

how did you root? If you use Gladroot you can run the "afterupdate" to retain root after updating to 1.86.

Hi,
I forgot the name of the tool if I'm not mistaken it is gingerbreak, I run it on my android phone then, it gave me the superuser.
The phone came with the 1.86 I did not update it, but since It is not working from my country I have to root to install the link above, which is to replace my wifi drivers. Then after replacing I was able to connect from the wireless here.
Now I used the method to flash to 1.26 and rooting using the Gladroot, then using the method on the link above to fix the wifi drivers, I'm not able to connect to my wifi. I don't know what I did wrong here, any help would be appreciated thanks.

[Solved] Help clockwork mod (n00b)

Just followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I did the first step without a problem. But I made a mistake. In step one number 8 reads to say NO to install clockwork recovery. But I pressed YES by accident.
Now I'm trying to do Step 2 and it's not working. I copied the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card. Then disconnected the phone from the computer. I turned off the phone and booted into HBOOT. But "Do you want to start the update" never pops up.
Help please?

Where?
I use ROM Manager Premium, I even flashed its recovery over the old AlphaRevX one without any problems.
I also used rom manager to flash the latest recovery. It woked perfectly fine. Just dont let your battery run all the way down or you will have a hard time getting it to charge again lol.

[Q] Help, boot loop here?

I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..

random stuck and reboot
Alright, here is how it goes... I bought this used sensation xe from a guy, the time I check the phone, it is already ota update. While that time the phone keep stuck and reboot.for few times. Maybe 30 minutes once. The whole phone suddenly freeze and then restart. So I decide to root it and install custom Rom, I thought that maybe custom Rom will works better, but not. I read some guides out there mention that in order to flash custom Rom, we need to unlock the phone first. So I unlock by using the HTC dev method. After that I flash dark forest ics Rom, but the stuck and reboot problem still remains there. So here is my bootloader. UNLOCKED , PYRAMID PVT SHIP S - ON RL. HBOOT 1.27.0000. any idea how to fix this? Please provide me step by step guide if yes. I have been confusing searching the forum.

ohh you got ics ota previusly...good things are easy now for you
now
1.you got rom on your sdcard or on pc ?..then extract the boot.img file from rom's zip file (usually present in kernels folder... if it has more than one boot.img choosethe one of your choice)
2.keep the boot.img in adb folder (assuming you got adb/factboot setup)
3.keep the device in fastboot mode and connect it to pc (bootloader then fastboot)
3.flash the boot.img via fastboot
command : "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
(you need to do this every time you install custom rom via custom recovery---to prevent this you can install latest 4EXT custom recovery 1.0.0.5 RC3 )
4.reboot ---then voila it should work
The Rom you mean is custom Rom? But I discover that after I flash the dark forest Rom, I can't flash any other custom Rom or kernel. It says (bad). Installation aborted . Later will try the method that you stated. The adb folder is on pc? You mean c: Android on my computer?

Lol.. I thought you are stuck at bootloop..
The above method I mentioned helps too as these random boots might happen due to kernel/module mismatch... So first do that and see the random reboots are gone.
If that didn't solve the issue
Then this random boots might be due to improper flash of rom... First if you got custom recovery installed.. Do a full wipe (use ARHD super wipe too if you want to) from recovery and then flash the rom again... See that solves the issue.. If still not then once again extract the boot.img and repeat the above process again

trying now, will leave the feedback later or soon. so what is the next step to get it S-OFF? is there easier methods?
i have done what you said on top, the boot.img method. so lets hope the phone goes well and doesnt stuck anytime. whats next?

When I was on a stock rom on my sensation the phone was all kinds of bad, it would restart randomly like you mention and it would always force close and reload sense...once I flashed a custom rom everything is perfect.

lot of ppl got their sdcard fried while trying JB SOFF....the only option left for you is to try card reader...
also you can flash 4EXT via fastboot as i mentioned in my earlier posts...that method doesnt require sdcard
but worry not...now that you are SOFF...you can completely control your device
if i get a new sd card will this solve the problem? i'm afraid that after getting new sd card and the blank sd appear again.

Need help in restoring to stock htc one mini

I had a rooted htc one mini then i tried changing the firmware to ViperOne but I forgot to boot the boot.img before installing ViperOne through Clorckworkmod recovery. I continued the install then now im always stuck on the booting screen, I tried restoring my backup in Clockworkmod recovery but it always says "E: can't mount sdcard", it kept on saying "can't mount sdcard" on everything in clockworkmod. I also cant access the internal storage thourgh my pc. I have no idea what to do now, tried fixing with RUU but i cant find the one the matches my phone, please help give me the easiest way cause im still a beginner, i dont mind if its rooted or not when its fixed i just want it to work again
Thank you in advance

How did you get Viper for the Mini???
These are likely the instructions for you, too.

I think you have usb issues. You should either try working from a fresh install of Windows or Ubuntu from disc.
Here are instructions for booting to Ubuntu from disc:

followed the other comments to install the sense6 firmware, my phone needs to be S-OF and superCID, finished superCID but i cant run rumrunner cause my phone dont have OS, is there a way to run rumrunner thourgh fastboot or recovery?
Dude. You have to use files intended for the mini. Install a recovery for the mini from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m4ul and then flash the Rom again

sorry the problems just keep coming and coming
First, you can try wiping system and data partitions prior to installing (don't wipe sd card), but I think you need to update your firmware to install sense 6 Roms.
To do that you'll need to s-off first. Revone might work for you and rumrunner should work.
Or you can try installing this sense 5.5 rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50715903
