Hey guys,
I bought my Desire S yesterday. Everything was fine and I was also able to connect to our home wifi with my mobile.
However after installing latest software update I can't connect anymore. When I try to turn wifi on it just says: "error" and nothing happens.
I tried to do factory reset with formated SD card, even wipe cache and wipe phone from menu which appears after pressing volume down + power during startup, but nothing helped.
Please, do you have any suggestins or I will have to wait for another official update for a fix?
Any help appreciated!

i think that u will need to reflash stock rom..helped me with same issue
Thanks for reply. I'll try that ASAP.
However I'm a bit confused with the instructions.
Is just downloading stock rom, putting it to SD and flashing it from recovery option from vol - + power menu all I have to do? Or do I have to somehow flash it with 4EXTRecovery?

Stock Rom comes as .exe...put phone on usb and run exe from computer and follow instructions.
Or check my signature if u want rooted stock. That one u can flash via recovery.

Hi everyone,
Let's go straight to the point here's what took my phone down :
I had HTC Desire that I rooted with unrevoked. A several days ago I was notified that a new OTA update (the 2.29.405.2 version, the 28.89MB zip file) was available, so I downloaded it and tried to install it. The update wouldn't install as my phone was rooted. I found on some forum some guy that said he had the same problem and managed to install the update by renaming the zip file update.zip and moving it to the root of the SD card so this is what I did.
Now my phone is stuck at the HTC white boot screen, keeps rebooting. When I boot it in recovery mode it displays an error message (see attached file) like :
SD cheking....

No image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]

I'm really new to all this and any help is more than welcome!
Well as far as I can see that's not an error message, since I get the same messages when booting into my Recovery mode on Nexus One (and mine is working).
Did you try wiping the phone and / or flashing your previous ROM again?
Thx for your reply.
Yeah I tried factory resetting it. To flash a ROM do I need to have a working phone, or just a working bootloader ? And how do I know my bootloader is still working ?
From what I understood the bootloader is the menu you get in when pressing [Volume down] while turning your phone on. If so, I do have a working bootloader, and the last (but not least) thing I need to be working is a recovery.
So I tried to re-install unrevoked while running Linux, but Linux doesn't recognize the device. I'll give it another try while running windows since it recognizes the phone if it's in recovery mode.
In case it doesn't work, is there anything else I can try besides sending the phone back to HTC ?

The same thing happened to me several weeks ago while working on some settings and updates. I freaked out a lot, but this is what worked for me. It may work for you:
1. Remove the battery from the handset
2. Press & hold the power button on the handset for 10 seconds
3. Re-insert the battery
4. Press your volume down/up button (depending on what device you have) and while holding it, press the Power button.
I would suggest making a Nand Backup once you're in the HBOOT screen, but before you do it, chose the USB-PC Toggle option so that you can go into your phone via Windows Explorer and remove any flashable zip file your SD may have other than the ROM you want to flash.
what happend when you enter the recovery menu by selecting it with volum button and then power button to enter ? does it reboot into a green menu called clockworkmod ?
did you ever download a custom rom, such as for example defrost.zip and copy the file without unzipping it to your sd card, then select wipe all stuff you have and install that rom (zip) file. did you do that ?
i am also new to it and i have the same phone as you, but all works great for me, just needed to read many posts and tutorials here, then i did it and i am happy with it.

It enters a menu with 4 items :
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIM LOCK
Then when I select RECOVERY it enters the HTC boot screen endless loop...
I tried using unrevoked but it didn't work, then I tried using a RUU but it didn't work either.
I'm kinda loosing hope here any other idea what I can try?
SOLVED
It's alright I managed to run a RUU while the phone was in the fastboot submenu of the HBOOT
well I got the same problem.
Is there a real solution to it?
entering in nandroid just wont work.
As I said running a RUU worked, even though it wiped all the data off the phone.
Phone: Rogers i896
I have been through Multiple stock Roms of 2.1, 2.2, 2.3
Lets take a simple example of 2.1 where I flash into CWM, install CM7 but I am stuck in install loop, all it does is tries to install, shows me flashing screen which is way too quick for me to read and but I have managed to read some lines and they probably say
E: Cannot find or Cannot update
No Such file or Directory
Like I said, since last 3 days - whatever I do I am stuck in that. I have tried formatting internal SD Card, tried to install from External SD Card but no go
Boot into cwm, factory reset, install from sd card. If you boot loop, repeat procedure again.

Sometimes you have to hold the recovery buttons down for a long while, at least 4 or 5 flashes of the i896 page. This worked for me a few times (Rogers i896). But the only thing I found that worked when I got stuck in boot loops was flashing stock Froyo with Heimdall. Can you boot into download mode?

Pull the battery, reinsert battery,then with phone off, press volume up + volume down + power. Hold those buttons until you see the first boot screen. Hold it about 5 seconds, then release.
OK, so I went to recovery mode - deleted factory/clean - and tried with MIUI - that worked?? can I install CM 7 on top of MIUI?

That's good to hear. MIUI is a very good ROM and is based on CM7 so there should be no problem flashing CM7.1 from MIUI (I do it all the time). Go into ROM manager and flash CWM to 3.x before flashing CM though.
Sweet, that worked too. I now have CM7 - would it better to CWM and factory reset now? so everything is clean or not recommended and/or doesnt matter?
I have used MIUI - few drawbacks, some apps dont work + screenshot is not as simple as CM7

Did you do the wipes in CWM before you installed the zip? If so I wouldn't worry about it if not a reset doesn't hurt.
Copy Rom to sdcard.
Go to download mode (Vol- + Vol+ + USB plug PC)
Use odin and flash to stock JF6
Feed talon 1.2 --> CWM --> factory reset --> install zip file -> choose zip file --> new rom
Yesterday I tried to install a custom rom on my HTC Sensation. The sensation had the Dutch Vodafone ROM, updated to the newest version.
I started by following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 to the letter and did not encounter any problems.
Then I read a post about the InsertCoin ROM, and started with the recommended download and install of PG58IMG.zip. I did not install the ROM yet. Upon rebooting after installation of PG58IMG.zip the phone now seems to be in a boot loop, it boots untill the "Quitely Brilliant" appears and then reboots again. I removed PG58IMG.zip and reinstalled su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (as per suggestion in another thread about a boot looped phone). However the phone refuses to install it.
Is there anything I can do the get my phone out of this bootloop?

Ugh.. really? Any idea what went wrong? I imagine I might have done somthing stupid, but I have no idea what.
You can probably fix it. First thing I would try doing is booting to recovery and restoring from the backup(s) you made.
hello i myself am not really familar with that device its one i never played with or researched but i do know that bootloop does not mean your device is bricked if your device is bricked it would simply be a black screen that did nothing something in your bootloader or spl (secondary program loader).
please boot into clockwork mod pull battery hold vol down when it boots do a complete wipe
wipe data / userdata
wipe cache
wipe davlik
then try to reboot see if you can boot then and if not pull out sd card download a rom from your pc to your sd card for your device try a diffrent rom install sd card into your phone boot back into clockwork mod select zip from sd and install most likely it will repair your boot loop.
(YOUR PHONE IS NOT BRICKED)
any ? go to sensation questions and answers and or development they can further benifit you because they deal with that device full time

I had the same problem. Solved it by installing the a compatible (to the new firmware) rom, like InsertCoin 4.3.2. So, tne procedure is:
1. Install firmware by putting PG58IMG.zip on root of sd card
2. remove PG58IMG.zip from root of sd card
3. install InsertCoin 4.3.2 from sd card
Hi buddy. No, you're not bricked. You just flashed a non-compatible ROM, you're all safe. It happened to me once.
A bricked device means a device that is unable to even power up. If it can boot to recovery, or fastboot, you're not bricked. And if you have a bootloop, you're not bricked either.
Do the following:
Battery pull
Put the battery back again
Press and hold the volume down button
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, while keeping the volume down button
When you get into fastboot, let go volume button
Select recovery using the volume keys and confirming with the power button
There you are! You can flash back your backup... Because you have a backup, right?
@ all; Thanks all for the help! Wiping and restoring backups didn't do the trick, but the suggestions were very welcome since they convinced me I didn't brick my phone
Special thanks to Norad73 and Pyrobisqit; I did have a backup, but not of the firmware it seems, since restoring the backup didn't work <red face>.
Bu the suggestion of the ROM not being compatible with the new firmware was right on the mark. I installed the InsertCoin ROM, and yes it worked! I now have a very nice ICS Sensation
Thanks, thanks, thanks!
I have been searching for hours..and still couldn't find an asnwer..
at first when my phone was still alright I did a factory reset and after that
it stuck on a boot screen with android in the middle...for a long time
then I use vol down + power method to reset it and clean everything (like system,cache and boot) all of them...
now I stuck on the green htc boot screen
I tried to install rom and kernel but still won't work I wonder whats the problem now
any idea???
thanks

You haven't searched that bad, if not you would have come across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229
Anyway, are you rooted? if you are rooted and did a factory reset then you don't have a Rom in your phone and that is why you are stuck on the splash screen. You even wiped everything, so probably erased usb debugging drivers from the device.
Well, you have these choices: 1) If you still can access your custom recovery (CWM or 4EXT) then you need to put a rom in your sdcard and flash it. You will have your phone back. You can even restore a nand backup and have your system as it was at that time.
2) If you are S-OFF, but can not access a custom recovery, then flash it again and follow option 1)
3) Use a PD98IMG.zip file to flash a RUU in hboot and you will get back. In the link I provided above, you have several links to those files.
In all cases, you will need an sdcard reader or someway to get the files to your sdcard.
Hope it helps....
thanks!!!!

Dear all users of TF300T.
If you are using Stock ROM (Rooted/Non Rooted) and are bricked or stuck on ASUS boot screen. Then this guide is for you.
As i was using stock ROM (ROOTED) with Locked boot loader without custom recovery and my tf300t was Sofbricked due to wrong configurations at Display Pixel scaling and also reformat did not work for me.!
So i thought to create this guide which may help people out here It worked for me Try your LUCK.
Sorry if i am re posting i did not got any guides out here...
If this helped you please give me a Thumbs up.!
Steps:-
1. Download the latest ROM from ASUS website Which matches your SKU.(Important).
It would look somehing like this (TF300T-TW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher . zip)
2. Extract it and rename that file to ( EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip )
3. Now copy this new renamed file to SDCARD (Root of sd card). Put the SDcard into tablet.
4. Now Press and hold Volume Down + Power for a few seconds. Then you will see the ASUS recovery options.
5. 3 icons will appear: RCK, Android, and Wipe Data. The RCK should be flashing green. Press the UP Volume Key Once.
Now wait for a few minutes. It will flash the ROM.
And wola! Your TF300T will again work fine!!
