My phone now can only go into the HB booter only...

when i was flashing rom(noob),i think i format all the rom(include the factory one)in my desire and now why I turn on my desire, it only goes into the HB booter and nothing else.
i tried to recovery it and reset it to the factory rom,but it seems no use.
What can i do for my phone now?
thanks...

It seems that you are going to have to load a new rom. Check out the link from cyanogenmod's website. wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_%28GSM%29:_Full_Update_Guide (I was gonna make a link but this forum doesn't allow new members to post links)
Its a great guide to flash new roms to your phone. CyanogenMod is a good one but flashing is the same procedure for any rom. Hopefully this helps you out.

Really? honestly man, READING IS FUNDAMENTAL!!!!! If you just "managed" to get into recovery, I don't think you should be flashing a new ROM, not to mention a new radio. Please please please please do your research before you brick your phone.
ARHD thread gives you everything you need to know on how to flash their rom. There are numerous threads out there that document how to flash a radio and a ROM.
1. Download ROM
2. download ARHD superwipe
3. place ROM and superwipe on sd card
4. make a back-up using rom manager
5. reboot into recovery
6. data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (found in the wipe section)
7. flash super wipe (you do this by choosing the option install from SD card,will take a minute or two and reboot you into recovery)
8. flash ARHD (same as super wipe directions)
9. reboot
10. Enjoy.
If you even ask me to be more specific, I'll blow up your computer. All of this information could have been found by searching and reading. Get it together before you destroy your phone. I wouldn't even recommend radio flashing until you do the proper research...THERE IS A THREAD IN THE DEV SECTION FOR RADIOS, that you clearly skipped over when you found ARHD thread.

You really don't need to mod edit with the radio at all. Just install AR and forget about the radio; if you ran the ace hack kit, the radio you have is the best one there is period.

will try that my radio is 12.56.60.25u_26.10.04.03_m the arhd says in there download post thart use a 12.62blabla radio what should i do about thatits my first time flashing i dont want to brick

Since your a noob here and because I was rather a jerk the first time around, I'll play nice..in short all RILS have a matching radio and it is recommended that you flash the proper RIL for the radio you're using. Since your a noob, it is important to note that when you flash a new ROM, the radio does not change just the RIL. Which brings us to the reason ARHD is recommending the 4.19 radio is because the RIL for that radio is included in their ROM. I have read that you don't have to flash matching RILs to your radio but I always do just for good measure. It has been stated that flashing the matching RIL for the radio you're using can lead to better performance,signal and battery life, etc. The RIL for 4.03 radio I believe is in the radio thread. Simply download the RIL file and flash in recovery, remember if you do flash a new RIL..ALWAYS MOUNT SYSTEM before you flash the RIL, which is found in the mount option in recovery

As already stated. Please know what you are doing before you so it. Would you load a custom OS to your PC without reading up on it first? Most likely not. Flashing a device is not for people that are tooo busy, tired, distracted or just lazy to read up on what they are doing. This can and has left people very upset with a non returnable brick due to not reading.
Also this is a development forum not a support forum. You are expected to at least try and fix your own issues by researching before opening a new thread.

[Q] HELP sensation flashed ROM wont start

Hello, first I would like to apologize as I am clearly a noob and have very little idea of what I am talking about.
I'm sure my problem has been asked before and that if I had any idea what the problem was, I could find the exact solution I need here on the forums. Unfortunately I don't even know what to search for. If any one would like to complain go ahead but please..just help me.
So I decided to root my HTC Sensation, which I believe I did without any problem, I followed the guide on this site. Nothing went wrong and as far as I was aware everything was working fine.
I then decided to flash a new ROM onto the phone. I chose the Android Revolution HD as this looked to be the popular choice. I got it from here and I believed I had followed the instructions on how to install it properly.
However, after installing the ROM I came upon a problem, the phone would not start, it would just go to the HTC boot screen and stay there forever. At first I couldn't even get back to the hboot screen, but after inserting a new and better charged battery I was able to get there, but every time I do it attempts to update and says " CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot." and I cant do anything but get stuck in this continuous loop.
If I take the SD card out I can access the HBOOT properly, however trying to do a recovery at this point doesn't seem to work.
I have no idea what to do and would appreciate any help anyone can give me. I would be happy to just have my phone back to the way it was originally.
Thanks

Might wanna try a RUU? not sure but hopefully it should do..

First off your MAJOR issue is that you flashed a rom for the Desire HD section(As soon as I clicked on your link, it said Android Revolution 7.0.2... I was like wtf? There is no 7.0.2 on the sensation forum) ... I think that's the prob... for now! Flash the correct rom and stay in the right section!
Second, I don't see why you can't get into recovery. Remove your sd card, power on the phone by holding vol-down +power to get to bootloader, select recovery and flash the right rom. I would also recommend that you delete the P58IMG.zip off your sd card as well. I'm assuming you have it on there for the ICS firmware but flashed the incorrect rom. You are far from bricking it, but keep this up and it might turn into one!

Thanks, your post is certainly reasuring though I am still not sure how to continue. Also it is possible I gave the wrong link to the rom I used, though it definitely was the same name.
Anyway what Im thinking I have to do now is 1st delete p58img.zip file from my SDcard and put the right rom on there, could you link to one?
So by removing that file I should be able to access the SDcard again and flash the new rom?

Here's the right link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
This is an ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Rom
So you need:
1) SuperCID (so that you can flash any firmware)
Instructions
2) Flash the ICS firmware (otherwise you can't use the ICS roms)
http://goo.gl/RcbMy (and make SURE that there aren't any errors - errors such as not doing the SuperCID process correctly, therefore it can't flash - I say this because it seems like many users think the firmware is flashed and then find out their rom won't start, so don't be stupid and check whether or not an error has occurred just incase!)
3) Pick a rom
Revolution
Elegancia
Insert Coin
4) Flash the 4EXT recovery, I'm sure you already have clockwork mod on there but I think that's a bit buggier... so if I were you, I'd go for the 4EXT touch recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
5) If you wish, you can also flash for example: tweaks and addons by awsm devs which make our phone much better if you wish!
6) you're good to go! It's that easy.
Yeah, all you have to do is remove that P58IMG.zip from your sd card and your bootloader won't force you to update or w/e. You'll be fine.

And don't forget to md5 check for roms you download !
Sent from my HTC-Z710a using xda premium

Thank you very much. It seems I hadn't performed the SuperCID part. Once I had done that I installed Elegancia and it is working perfectly.
Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me.

How do you install the new radio??newbie??

How does one go about installing the new radio i keep seeing mentioned around the forums in the trickdroid thread especially?
What does it do?
Does it improve battery life or signal?
Cheers and step by step please

Sure mate here you go:
1. Go to Q&A section
2. Read thread OTA Update to Android 4.0.4 for S4 is Out
Good luck

So I need to download that exe. Backup my current trickdroid set up. Then just run the exe let it upgrade everything back to stock but the radio will be upgraded. I then just boot into Cwm and reinstall trickdroid?

If you need to change your CID
Make a nandroid backup from cwm
Relock bootloader
Connect your phone to pc and start the ruu exe (follow the wizard)
Unlock bootloader (if you changed CID you have to get another unlock_code from htcdev)
Flash cwm
Restore nandroid backup
Reboot
Done!
If you get a bootloop after restoring the nandroid flash boot.img through fastboot.
Btw next time search aorund the forums, you could figure it out yourself

cheers all
i still dont really understand what to do but ill give it a go.
atm i have a rooted phone with cwm installed and trickdroid 7.
although people saying search. I saw this thread.......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781033
But its not actually that clear to beginners on what to do.
If its only wifi fixes im not sure if its worth the risk, i thought it may improve reception or battery life etc?

Haven't seen any official patch notes actually so unsure what it does. If you're going to do stuff before being sure what you're doing or at least understanding exactly how, make sure you backup important stuff like photos on your computer first. 99% of flashing screw-ups can be fixed with the assistance of the awesome nerds here but you'll be at the mercy of unknown unpaid strangers good will. Failure is always an option

drop box always saves me

well ive flashed it but im having trouble getting cwm back on it so i can then root it or once ive got cwm on it will my rom backup auto unroot it again?##
Answers to my own questions............
In the end i used htc one s all in one tool kit and kept trying to flash cwm without success. I tryed to install it via fastboot and that failed as well. In the end the only that worked was the interim cwm included in the tool kit once that was installed i then installed my backup rom which seems to have re rooted the phone and then used rom manager to flash cwm properly
Cheers.
Just be good if i knew exactly what this new update did lol

it was suppose to help wifi issues, i believe, would have to re-read on it. sure there are other improvements
thing is, it gives different results for each person, I am not sure it helped me at all, as my issues were, i believe, rom/kernel related
also, with the current setup you have and if you are on an hboot older than .13, like 06 or 09 you could have just flashed radio thru fastboot
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot
Just fyi for next time as radio is rom independent, but done wrong is quickest way to brick phone

hence why i wanted to be doubly sure and started my own thread and not brick my phone.
Thanks though.

[Q] Need some serious advice about roms! Been away for loooong

So, i was here back when the phone came out, unlocked the bootloader and got a few Roms in the start, and ended up with Paranoid Android V2.54 i believe, and never really cared about looking for anything new since i thought it was pretty good, and i enjoy as close to stock as possible. But now my phone is getting really slow, and i need a change. And getting back onto the forums here im just really intimidated by the amount of Roms, the term S-OFF and Kernel. I generally know the basics i suppose, but when i was installing Roms back in the early days of the HTC one S it was as easy as getting the rom on the SD card an flashing it. Im probably coming off as a bit stupid here, but i dont wanna brick this phone just because i did one thing wrong.
So where im getting at is, what Rom should i go for? I just need something easy to install, and nothing super flashy. As said earlier, i enjoy the stock android, and i wouldnt mind getting the newer version of android aswell. So give me some pointers, and feel free to give me the details on how to flash it as i havent done this in a while

First thing you should tell us some more info about your phone, just to know better what guides and adices we should give you:
1. Phone model: S4 or S3 (is it with dual core krait 1.5 Ghz or with older dual core 1.7 Ghz processor?)
2. What hboot/firmware do you have, what radio, are your bootloader locked or not (at HTC Dev site)...in fact we need all the info that you have on your bootloader screen (power off phone then keep pressed VOLUME DOWN while pressing POWER)
3. What recovery do you use (CWM or TWRP) and what version?
4. Finally but not least....WHAT DO YOU WANT? A Sense ROM, an AOSP ROM, do you want latest Android version (4.4.2 KitKat) or it doesn't matter to you...things like this. You said something about this but maybe give more details
Then we might have some guides for you and some advices and you could choose among them based on your pers preference :good:

1. According to Quadrant i have a CPU Frequency of 1512MHz, so by definition that should make it a S4
2. For recovery, im almost 100 percent sure its SuperSU, and heres the details from my bootloader:
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.06.0000
RADIO-0.15.315018.19
OpenDSP-v21.1.0.32.0314
eMMC boot
Mar 15 2012.23:37;23
And yes i used HTC Dev website to unlock it. got some sort of key and everything.
3. The recovery i use atm is CWM 5.8.3.1 the none touch version. Tried the touch version a few times, but it doesnt seem to work for me.
4. For ROM as i mentioned i really like AOSP, and can't really see myself going for a Sense ROM unless there's something really awesome out there. Ive used CM 9 and 10, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid and one of those Pac-man ROMs before, and they have all been decent. But now i want something newer. Preferably something over 4.1.2 as ive had that for probably a year now, and i need SOMETHING new. I dont particularly want anything that isn't as complete as possible. The ROM im rocking now reboots my phone ATLEAST 1-2 times a day, and have some minor Wi-Fi issues. (not really that bad anymore after buying an expensive new ASUS Router)
So those are like my only things when it comes to ROMs. Doesnt need to be as flashy as coming with a completly themed interface and that sorts

I like CM11. It seems to running ok, but better check the latest in the thread.

OK, I got more info now, maybe some others will step in and give you their opinions and advices. What I can tell
1. SuperSU is not a recovery (you already said you're using CWM)...it's the root program.
2. You have hboot 1.06 the same I had on my device some time ago (not too long ago). It has some advantages and some disadvantages. I'll try to be brief and prsent you all and you can decide what you wanna do.
First some background: S-Of basically means you are able to write to certain partitions on your device, partitions that are normally locked. Most important are the firmware/hboot partition, radio partition and kernel partition. If you are S-On, you cannot write/flash radio or firmware and you MUST flash any kernel via a separate command in fastboot.
Now what makes 1.06 hboot so special...it is behaving like a partial S-Off device even if you are not S-Off. What does this mean? You will be able to flash radios and kernels as any other S-Off user. Only thing you won't be able to flash is the firmware/hboot. On the other hand, all new ROMs require hboot 2.13/2.15 or the leaked 2.16. That means that IF your current hboot allows you to run such a ROM, you won't be able to flash it unless you're editting EVERY TIME the updater-script in the ROM ZIP you're flashing to bypass the hboot check. So things will become little bit complicated.
To avoid all these you should first S-Off then you should upgrade to hboot 2.15. This is the last official firmware and it is supported by all new KitKat ROMs. DO NOT flash 2.16 firmware unless you would like to flash and use Sense based ROMs like MaximusHD.
I made S-Off by using Rummrunner because I found it the simplest way to do it...it's like a one-press-S-Off. If that doesn't work for you, you can try other methods like Facepalm or Moonshine. You can find separate threads for each in Dev section and I'll also link them below
Rummrunner
Facepalm
Moonshine
After you made S-Off, next step will be to upgrade your hboot/firmware to 2.15. You can use the flashable ZIP from THIS thread and you'll find info on how to do it in the thread. I would suggest you to choose the Unbranded 2.15 hboot and that has also the red warning gone (the one you see when start up the device with "This device is for development purposes only...bla bla bla")
For all the above you might also want to check/try a tool that incorporates most of them. You can find it in THIS thread.
Now that you have S-Off and upgraded your hboot, you might want to flash a newer radio. Hint:If you're satisfied with your current signal strength, mobile data and so on, don't flash another radio. Even if in a ROM thread it is recommended or mandatory a certain radio, my advice is to first try the ROM with your current one and only if performance is not satisfactory, flash another radio.You can find radios in tecardo's thread HERE or if you want the newer radios you can find radio 1.20 HERE or 1.35a HERE. One more note regarding tecardo's thread with the radio collection...that thread is old and some info is not updated. Just remember that you must flash ONLY the V6 Sense Radio installer for any ROM you'll be using, being it sense based or AOSP. Also ignore that warning that the procedure is only for hboots below 1.3...at that time there was no S-Off (remember what I've said about the particularities of 1.06 hboot earlier). Now things are different, you're S-Off so you will just need to flash it
Before flashing, you might consider upgrading to a newer recovery. I would recommend you the latest official TWRP 2.7.0.0 that will support flashing anything made for hboot 2.15. If and only if you decide to try sense ROMs based on hboot 2.16, you'll need a different recovery specific for 2.16 and that you'll get from that specific ROM thread. Official TWRP downloads for Ville S4 are HERE
Now youre almost done. You just need to pick your ROM and flash it...pretty difficult task considering how many they are. I tested most of AOSP ones and also some Sense based ones (not the ones for hboot 2.16 tho). I don't want to advice too much here since it could be considered I favour one or another...the truth is I do and that's normal, but I'd like to be objective
First, all KitKat ROMs are pretty stable. On CM11 there are regular nightlies and there are also less stable or bugged builds but this is expected. So you might try several ROMs to see which suits you most and you can decide by reading each ROM's thread. I'll list some ROMs (not all), the ones that are updated most often and I've tested, in no particular order...in fact I'll list them alphabetically to avoid interpretations
AOSP based
Beanstalk
CandyKat
CM11
Infamous (IOAP)
PAC-Man
TwistedKat
Vanir
Sense based
Viper ROM 3.1.3
Liberty ROM
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to get most in a single place and if you'll have more questions we'll detail them later. Just try something... READ READ READ...each thread contains valuable info about each procedure and step and also the experience of the users. I know it is easier to ask but don't forget it's YOUR PHONE and YOUR INTEREST to see things working on it. So you should make some effort to read and search also
Good luck

I've read the entirety of your post now, and it's definetly helpful!
As it's pretty late here atm, i will come back to the tread tomorrow and S-Off and all that jazz. Im not a complete moron on this area, allthough thats what it probably seemed like Im glad i asked before i did anything, cause this was alot more complicated then when i was flashing ROMs when the phone came out.
I will definetly try to hold on to my current Radio as i have had no complaints ever on connection and service. So thanks for telling me about that, otherwise i would probably have flashed a new one each time.
Ill be sure to keep you posted on my progress tomorrow, just incase i totally **** up or something, or just cant get myself to understand something. If it is as easy to flash ROMs as it used to be once im ready to flash again, ill figure out my Next ROM, so im grateful that you listed a few of them that i can try out.
Again i wanna thank you for taking the time to explain a total Noob how to go about doing this, i really appreciate it!

rapier's post just about expresses all the basic info you need, couldnt have been put better!!
as far as going on to the newer sense based roms i'd suggest not to take that road yet as they require hboot 2.16 and it can get fairly tricky to go back to the previous hboot.
also for hboot 2.15 also you have more choice for roms available... just a point of view!!
happy flashing!!

So, now im totally lost. did the S-off, and now im trying to do the firmware, but im clueless here as i cant find the folder adb/fastboot in my platfomr-tools sdk folder or whatever you wanna call it. It wants me to place the firmware inside the adb folder, and i cant find any folder with that name.
I followed a guide on how to get adb working on my computer as i did not have that anymore on my PC, so had to redo it.
was following the guide, and did not see this "2. Now place the Firmware_named_something.zip into your adb/fastboot folder" at first, and tried to flash and was welcomed with cannot open "named file here" for obvious reasons when i saw step 2.
but this step 2 is what is confusing me, as ive mentioned, there is no adb/fastboot folder. is this a folder i make somewhere in my sdk? or what am i missing here. to give you the full info, i used this guide:

ADB/fastboot are not folders, are commands. What that instruction meant was to place the firmware zip in the same folder where your ADB/fastboot executable is. Usually this is in "android-sdk/platform-tools". You'll notice there the ADB and fastboot executables

OMG! That makes more sense, still that sentence he used in the guide was pretty misleading though. literally tried making a fastboot folder with the .exe in alot of different folders xD
Will try that one out and see if it works! Thanks, AGAIN!
EDIT:
Just tried to put the firmware inside C:/android/sdk/platform-tools/ folder, but still i got
"Error: Can not open 'Fuu_Downgrade2.15_Unbranded.zip'
EDIT:
Turns out there was a program instead of a .exe :s just tried though, and it failed.
"FAILED (rempote: 99 unknown fail)
EDIT:
Apparently the S-OFF didnt work. Tried Rumrunner, as i didnt understand jack **** about the alternatives
EDIT:
Tried Facepalm aswell, not 100 percent sure if i did it right though, as there was no confirmation anywhere, but still no S-OFF
