[SOLVED]HTC Desire root atempt

i tried to root my htc and the screen went black during the update like normal but never came back i let it wait for about 30 min so i pulled the battery but no my screen doesnt work it turns on but no screen i think the driver for the screen got damaged any fixes or just return to HTC

Thx in advance

You've likely got an SLCD Desire and the rooting method is different...which guide did you follow?

i followed the hboot 0.92 to 0.80 cuz it was reported to work on a 0.93 aswell by siliconaddict

i had a same proble when i tried to root the device with HBOOT: 0.80 with r6-desire-root-alt but in the middle it got error and on the phone screen green progressbar also stuck after wating for an hour i had removed the battery but now the phone is stuck on HTC logo with four triangle on each side of the screen and also unable to boo the device to recovery menu my device non branded also i tried to restore RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
but at the end it gaves me
"ERROR [110]: FILE OPEN ERROR"
Please help unable to find any solution

i dont know if i wanna root it with supervision or guidance if u would hit me up via an IM that would be great but i owe u man

Basically you're now on a generic 1.21 WWE ROM. The next step is rooting and using a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM. Use unrEVOked (which is currently down due to a few bugs in the latest version) to root the phone and it also flashes a custom recovery so you can flash custom ROMs
Other way is to just get the 2.2 OTA update to be on official FroYo (you'd need a gold card if you have a branded Desire, mind) if you're not bothered about custom ROMs, etc...

Whatever happened to the unrEVOked btw? What went wrong with the latest ver?

Apparently some HTC EVO users reported it bricking their phones so it's been taken down until the bugs are fixed...good thing if you ask me

[Q] [email protected] after flashing icsVirtous-quattr0ob/w sense4 kernelbased ROMs

hi,
i need some help,i wouldn't ask for,if trying myself, searching the web/forum/thread,and even reading any ****in manual concerning simular problems would have brought me more close to a solution.
my systemconf.is: hboot 6.98...,radio 20.4801,s-off revolutianary.
my problem is,that i am not able to boot flashed ics roms containing a virtous/quattro related desireS-kernel.
all the cm9/icecoldsandwich variants don't make any problem.
i know, this is a stupidnoobish-question, but are u doing something not obvious(or even obvious-but obviously not for me[surley not talkin bout wiping,clearing and all that standard-procedure]), or somehow special in order to get this stuff working. i wouldn't ask,but i didn't found no answer anywhere or even simular reports by other user (apart from one small[so small I even couldn't find it again to link to] entry concerning this issue in the thread for the aosp ics custom rom by team virtous,but without a solution)
i'd thankful for every advice,solution or idea to join the sense4.0party.
greetz, alex

yes,that was one of them,behaving as described.i even wasn't able to boot the freshly flashed
blackout rom with sense3.6 and shipping mdeejay/virtous-based kernel as well as the virtous quattro ics roms that is also not booting in no case.

am i the only one suffering from that?
oh,oh...i begin loosin all hope to find anyone, who knows my problem, and by far not who is able to help me out.
i think, it is related to the fact,that the several charges of manufactured desire s' have different security-whatevers that prevent a to wilderly oc'ed & uv'ed cpu. so if the bootloader detects not 'allowed' scaling range, it simply not boots. i constructed this suspicion from very few snippets of information i could find about this issue.
am i the only one suffering from that?
just post that u are there even without a solution!
let us try together.
may be, we are able(i think we should, äh?) to modify the existing kernel files or skripts that are responsable for that.
may the force lead as into sense-on-ics_goodness
greets, alex

I'm there
I can't get past any splashscreen for customROMs. Tried Virtuous and also different versions of CoinDroid. None work. When I go back to stock, not a problem.
Did you find a solution in the meantime perhaps?

I assume you are htcdev unlocked, and forgot to flash the boot.img separately from fastboot..? If so, Google it. The solution is really easy. You just need to extract boot.img from the ROM zip and flash it using fastboot command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sent from an HTC device soon to be replaced by a Samsung. Suck on that HTC.

enigmaamit is probably wrong because you mentioned you are s-off via revolutionary tool.
my sugestion is to instal the ENG HBOOT from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236890 you need to follow the instructions from chapter 1 in the first post of the thread (the one for 6.xx.xxxx hboot version)
to my understanding the post 2.3.5 sense 3.0 roms require the hboot i have mantioned above
good luck and hope this fixes your issue

Help on how to restore rooted AT&T One X to stock

Hey guys. I recently purchased a used One X on the MP here. The seller let me know the phone is rooted and running a custom ROM. In my searching for how to restore it to completely stock, I've hit a wall and I need some help.
The only return-to-stock methods I can find are designed for rooted phones running the stock ROM. It seems there's a different method for a phone on a custom ROM? Maybe I'm just plain wrong, but if there is a different method, could someone point me in the right direction please?
While this isn't my first rodeo with rooting/unrooting, it is on anything other than a Samsung device. I'd like to start from scratch on this new phone so returning it to stock is the first step.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wrong section, this should really be in the Q and A section.
I'm assuming this is your first HTC device. We have something called RUUs, or ROM Update Utilities.
This is what you will need to do when you get your phone:
1. Download the RUU for 1.85 (found in the development forums)
2. Install the fastboot tool (google on how to do that)
3. Connect your device in fastboot mode (boot into the bootloader)
4. Run this command:
fastboot oem lock
5. Then from there start up the RUU's .exe file
6. Follow the RUU instructions.
At the end of the RUU you will have a stock phone with one exception, the bootloader will say "relocked" instead of "locked" as it does on stock phones. There is no way to currently get back to it saying "locked" untill we get S-OFF (security off, a "feature" on HTC phones that we are currently working on achieving)
However, your experience with the phone will then be 100% stock.

Sorry about sticking this in the wrong section. I'm usually better than that!
Thank you so much for the info. That's extremely helpful. This is my first HTC device and I'm feeling a little lost so far. Some things seem to translate across devices, but others don't (such as S-off…I could not figure out what that meant, so again, thanks for that!)
I'll have the phone in my hands sometime next week, so I'm trying to do as much research before it arrives as I can.

5. Then from there start up the RUU's .exe file?

Hello, I am also trying to install the factory rom on my HTC One X and I have completed step 4 in the instructions that you put up above. I am stuck on step 5. There are no .exe files from the download i got. These are the only files I got:
evita_readme.txt
evita-ics-crc-3.0.8-271616b.tar
So I am confused when you say to start up the RUU's.exe file
Your help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for your response.

Htc one m4 Boot loop

Hi i'm new on this site,
I was trying to get Cyanogen for mt HTC One mini but it seems to be i blowed it up.
After reading an endless number of threads and forums here no one has a clear step by step on how someone can go from Stock HTC, unlock dev, Root, Recovery, S-OFF, and who knows what else do I need to get for custom ROM in my HTC.
So i tried a simple command from fastboot to flash my boot.img cause i don't remember where i read I needed to do that jaja,
And boala, now is in a boot loop and I can't get more that htc logo screen any more.
And there is no backup because apparently it got deleted in the many commands or procedures I followed.
So any one who can help providing me the BOOT.img for stock htc one m4 4.2 Android from AT&T so I can get this phone at least to boot again would be very kind of your part If you could help me.
Cheers!!
