[Q] HTC Desire - Firmware issues - HTC Desire S

Hi all,
I have a strange issue and i am not sure if this hs been discussed before (Looked everywhee and i cannot seem to find an answer).
The Problem: I have a Desire S and i am in Australia (Carrier: Telstra), It was working fine without any issues and i had installed Generic European Firmware in the phone, Since this morning, when the battery died the phone has been on a white screen that says hTc and nothing happenns.
I went to HBOOT and tried recovery and everything that i could, downloaded customs rom tries installing through PC and through memory card but nothing happens.
This is what my phone shows when i go into HBOOT
SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT -6.98.2000 (PG8811000)
RADIO- 3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC - boot
Feb 24 2001, 21:19:05
Options that i can play around are:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY- goes back to hTc Logo and later on come up with green recycle sign and immediately after that phone icon with exlamation mark.
FACTORY RESET- goes back to hTc Logo and shows a green installation sign on the phone icon just below that progess bar with memory card at the end and goes back to hTc logo in white and stays like that.I have a Telstra's ROM (telstra.zip) in the SD Card
SYSTEM INFO
IMAGE CRC
any ideas on how can i install something on it, or do i need to send it back to HTC.
Please help!

You can install custom ROM only via Recovery. You need custom recovery for that.
The red exclamation mark confirms that you have stock recovery (press Vol UP + Power and you will enter), but it is short of options (reboot, install update.zip and wipe cache) You can try to install telstra.zip with the second option but then you will have troubles with your hboot version - 6.98. There will be a conflict with the one in the telstra.zip so you will have the white screen and logo again.
So you have 2 options:
1) flash custom Recovery via fastboot command /or Android flasher - it is easier/ and then custom ROM
2) flash eng 0.98.2000 hboot via fastboot command /or Android flasher/, then use a RUU to restore to complete stock

Is my phone bricked?

Hi everyone,
Sorry for sounding like a total noob, but today I was trying to flash my phone to "SUPER-HERO" rom. but first I needed to update the radio and hboot.
I went into recovery mode with "fastboot boot recovery.img".
Updated to radio image
6.35.08.29
And rebooted.... my phone showed up an HTC boot screen (probably was doing some updating) and then the problem started..
My phone is now booting through the vodafone logo then the HTC Magic logo (usb sound on my laptop for a second) and reboot.
No key combination is working except for the action button which shows up a blue LED.
Anyone can help?
My phone is an HTC Magic 32A (Vodafone Branded).
Thanks.

You must to revert to old radio, when you update to new radio you need to install a rom/kernel port that works with new radio.

I can't reach fastboot I don't know why.. fastboot usually gets launched as soon as I press back + power.. I just get the vodafone logo then the HTC logo right after that.. and then it restarts.
If you flashed an incorrect radio or recovery (flashing the wrong radio is a surefire way to get bricked), and as a result are not able to get to fastboot or recovery, then you're bricked and as a result need a new phone.
I managed to get the phone to fastboot but when I load the recovery ROM the phone just resets.
What can I do in fastboot?

You can flash a new (Correct) radio and/or recovery rom, or even a new SPL. Course reason instructions carefully for whatever you grab.

[Q] [PB] Blocked at start screen

Good afternoon,
I tried to apply the RUU update : RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed
the installation went correctly (as it was told on the computer), but when the phone reboot for the first time, it get stuck on the HTC screen (white screen with HTC in green)
Before doing that operation I tried several ROMs so I installed the Revolutionnary recovery.
These are the information I get when I start the phone with (VOL Down + Power).
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
- I tried to apply an other RUU update, but the program cannot detect my phone (I get a USB error).
- I tried to enter in the recovery mode, but I am blocked on a screen with a phone and a little red triangle...
- I tried to force the update with loading my phone with a previous custom ROM renaming it "PG88IMG.zip" or "update.zip"
Do you have other ideas ??
I am still searching for a recovery ROM that I can force to be installed and from that I would be able to install another ROM but I cannot find this ...
please I need some help ...
Thank you in advance,
Romain
maybe it will work
I download the PG88IMG-RECOVERYIMG-v3.1.0.2-arco-mod.zip
I renamed it PG88IMG.zip
I reboot with the VOL Down + Power, and I think I update the recovery. I have to change the name, reboot and try to enter in the recovery mode ...
I cross my fingers ...
It worked !!!!!

You rewrote the recovery partition too, when flashing the RUU.
If you are already on 1.17, then download a CWM and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and hopefully after the next reboot you will be able to get in to recovery from bootloader
EDIT: oh, I see you already managed to get a CWM on , glad it worked out

[Q] htc evo 3D only on bootloader

Hey guys i need help with my evo 3D i have been struggling to make it turn on. So half year ago I unlock the bootloader and rooted it. But the problem was that i could not make S-Off and i accidently wiped it and i installed a custom rom and it worked for 4 days but afterwards it started to reboot itself but it never passed the rom boot so then i installed the stock recovery and once it turned on it only let me select the language and then it turn off this was the last time i could make it turn on. Now it only goes into bootloader but it does not go into recovery, everytime i try to go into recovery th htc logo appears and it turns off, i tried to flash the recovery through fastboot, it does send it and write it on the phone but it never go into recovery. I also tried to install PG86IMG.zip ( with relocked and unlcked bootloader ) but it never ask me to update or not it only recognizes it. By the way i used Twrp modified recovery to install the custom roms, i have tried flash cwm recovery, recovery signed, twrp modified but it has not work. :crying::crying::crying: Thank you for reading this i would really appriciate your help guys .

[HELP RRU] HTC One M8

Hi all I've scoured the internet to the best of my abilities and can't seem to get this working.
I'm trying to go back to stock from Cyanogenmod. I've put the stock recovery 2.16.651.4 on my phone from here:
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...1-54-651-8-OTA&p=299475&viewfull=1#post299475
And then have tried to do both the SD card Hboot as well as the Fastboot methods of installing the Sprint_HTC_One_M8_2.16.651.4_RUU.zip from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
When I attempt the Hboot method it quickly finds the zip and says something about flashing and a vertical progress bar goes quickly. If I select recovery the phone reboots and gives me a red triangle with an exclaimation mark. If I select factory reset the phone reboots and I get a circle with two arrows before the phone reboots back into fastboot.
If I attempt RUU from fastboot I end up with a FAILED (remote: 32 header error).
At this point I'm kind of stuck any help would be appreciated.
