[Q] Desire HD crash

Hey everyone.
I got a HTC Desire HD back home and when i start the phone it get to HBOOT screen. It all started when i used this ACI hack thing where i installed Gingerbread and now it feels like my Desire is quite dead.
i tried almost everything : reboot, reboot in recovery, flash a new ROM, and so on i wondered if theres someone who could give a noob tip on how to fix this ?

You could try factory restoring it... if that doesn't work you could plug it into your PC and format the drive (if possible) other than that I can't help sorry dude

If you can't find anything anywhere on xda then go to the htc official site and you could try contacting them. They're probably the people who would know the most! Good luck dude

you set the date ahead like the instructions say right?

If you haven't already, check out my guide for the Telus HOX (it's in my signature and in the sticky rollup). You are required to have ADB set up and have an account with HTCDev.com.
Basically, the attached Spoof-CID.bat makes HTCDev.com think that your phone is the Rogers version and allows you to unlock your bootloader. Once that's done, you can push TWRP and then flash a prerooted ROM.
Hope it works for you and good luck.

Idk how to use adb .. did a little of research with 0 luck. I know that it's needed...idk where to find it. Or how to download it. :/ why is it such a pain in the ass???? Seriously.

platform-tools_r16.0.2-windows.zip is the latest
inside the zip all you need is
adb.exe
fastboot.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
downloading platform-tools_r16.0.2-windows.zip makes it alot easier then downloading the whole sdk
if you want to check for updates yourself look at this file repository-7.xml and search "platform-tools" then just change the filename of this url http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_<new version>-windows.zip to download
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Fastboot
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/ADB
some of those commands will or will not work on the evita. it's not a complete list or how they work but for the most part they are helpful links.
make sure you do these things first
usb debugging is enabled in developer options
fastboot is disabled in power options
some rooting and unlocking tasks require getting into bootloader manually, make the above settings and power off your phone completely.
to get into bootloader manually:
Volume Down + Power
Lights Blink A Few Times
Release Power
Tap Power Every Few Seconds Until HBOOT Screen Appears

You have 500 posts on xda and you don't know how to use adb? You could check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
Sometimes root takes a couple times to work. If you follow the instructions it will work.
But everything you need is in the stickies.

Thanks guys now I just gotta get a Damon hang of stuff again last time I was doing this kind of stuff was over a year go. It's like I'm a newb again :/ ....I blame marijane ladies n gents lol

QHSUSB_DLOAD mode brick

So, i bricked my phone trying to update recovery. No power, nothing. Except, when i connect the device Windows recognizes as qhsusb_dload device. I found the drivers and can get Odin to recognize it, but i get stuck at setup connection when i try to flash. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do next? It's there a different tool i need?
I am in Linux running xp in a vm if that make a difference... oh, Linux doesn't seem to recognize the device...

Thomas you've bricked it man. Have you tried talking to Adam Outler or Bhundvyn about trying to figure out the unbrickable MOD on this phone? Worth a shot as it would be a really nice mod to have. lol Pretty sure Adam would be able to jtag it for you as well. What recovery where you trying to flash?

Trying to flash just the stock ICS recovery? I didn't even know you could do that without flashing the stock ICS ROM as well. Assuming you actually can and that's not what bricked you, I'd love to keep that piece of information in my back pocket for future applications.

[Q] Be very careful with Goo Manager...Hard Bricked my Skyrocket

I've been rooting phones, flashing roms, and even flashing others phones to different carriers for, 5-6 years now I'd say. So, I know what I'm doing. I recently started using Goo Manager to download things occasionally, and to say the least I'm screwed. Downloaded the latest twrp recovery and it automatically booted into recovery and flashed the image. Endpoint...hard bricked.
Just be careful with goo is all I'm saying. I never confirmed it to flash the download and it didn't even ask. As soon as it was done dl'ing it just did it. I knew instantly it was going to be problematic. Because it wasn't actually the twrp img for my skyrocket. I was downloading it to use on another phone and transfer to my computer. So, now I'm without a phone. Sucks..
Anyone know of a way to get into download mode without having to use Jtag? lol prolllly not

Sounds like a noob mistake and also it tells you in too manager when you select install custom recovery its not goo.managersfault its lack of reading
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I am not sure why someone that has been doing this for years would put anything on the phones memory that doesn't go with the phone for any reason. It seems like half, if not more, of the bricks that happen are because of the wrong thing trying to be installed on the phone. Knowing that, it seems like a good idea to NEVER put anything on the phone that doesn't go with the phone, if you plan on using it or not. I guess this is just another precautionary tale for others now because if you really are hard bricked then Jtag is your option. Assuming you have already tried download mode, Odin, etc...Anyone doing this as long as you would have already known to try that stuff first...right? Good luck.

I got into a similar problem with goo manager. Ended with hard brick. Will never use goo or rom manager. Odin and twrp or cmw are the way to go. And never, ever flash anything unless you know it's for your device. That was the problem with goo, it said it was but wasn't.

You know you can force a reboot of the phone during the download by holding the power key or pulling the battery, right? If you knew what the file was, why didn't you do that?
I've downloaded ROM files hundreds of times through GooManager and gapps files at least a few dozen on three different phones across two platforms (Rocket and Note II). I've also flashed recoveries through it more times than I can remember. It's never once caused a problem, downloaded the wrong file, or even soft-bricked me.

I thought you couldn't brick a phone by a botched recovery flash. Because it's only writing to the recovery partition and not the system. Just what I once read anyway.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

I didn't know it was the wrong file until after it installed. It was supposed to be a gapps package that went with the Rom. I't didn't look right and I should have known better but I went with goo.
Just reinforces you should always know that what ever you flash make sure it's for your specific device.

Ubuntu Touch Test
1.Download base zip http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Infuse4G/Ubuntu/infuse4g_ubuntu.zip
2. Download preinstall http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to.../current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
yes it is 300+mb make sure you have space on your sdcard for it
3. Reboot to recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap file first the infuse_ubuntu zip then reboot recovery may do it itself
4. in ubuntu's purple recovery flash the saucy zip takes a while to flash make sure your battery is charged
5. Note this a preview not a daily driver it is pretty cool but it lacks full features.
if it doesnt boot up go into ubuntu's recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap then saucy
To update partially go to terminal on your phone and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
the password is phablet
I am working on porting the flipped version which has more features

What do you mean what did it do ?
Please explain did it reboot etc ?

I did the wipes and partition formats like you instructed from CWM (version 6.1 I think, can't check ATM). I flashed the first zip and it aborted and said please flash again to confirm. I did, a status bar appeared then it rebooted to the white Samsung logo boot screen and sat there for a good thirty minutes before I got fed up and pulled the battery. Now when I boot I get the black screen with the Samsung logo and I can't boot into recovery anymore so I'll have to plug it up to Odin and repartition. I left it at home though so its gonna be a while.

I would be interested in helping test this as well. I'm not super experienced, but I have been flashing roms on my infuse for a while(not my daily driver, I use a nexus 4) I have no problem abusing it. I would need some details on getting started with this, and what details you need, from me to help.
I have already downloaded the files from earlier in the thread. my current recover is cwm 6.0.3.2 but I think one of the zips replaces that, right? I'm posting the info to make sure there hasn't been a problem with changing over from there.
