Things that will help others help you:
1. where are you located?
2. who is your provider
3. what ROM WERE you on?
4. ok - you had a phone that was working - and you did:
a. what did you do first?
b. second?
c. etc.
Your message KINDA indicates that you flashed a ROM and had issues - so you THEN flash HARDSPL? was that successful?

OK - I do not think that you got the HARDSPL installed on your phone correctly - BECAUSE - I believe that it would say OLIPOF or JOCKY on it and it does not.
I have not seen the new HARDSPL 328 and 329 but it LOOKS like to me that you did not successfully get the HARDSPL on your phone.
Personally - I would scan the message boards for GSLEON3 (user name) and send him a private message - there are many others that can help you and he or others MAY come trolling by and take pity on you - but at the moment he is the one that helps people in your situation the most from what I have seen.
I would NOT continue to work on it myself as you can definitely mess your phone up permanently. Does your phone still go into boot loader mode? If so - can you flash the required HARDSPL onto your phone?
Find a message that GSLEON3 has left and then lik on his name and send him a private message - he is very nice - BUT - he is VERY busy - continue to be nice and he will most likely get you back and running.

first of all thank u for the help
but, wich one i need? 28 or 29?
and how do i do this spl if i cant copy them to my device.

Danny -
Deep cleansing breaths here ok?
1. personally - I would PUT BACK what ever you had on your phone and get it running again - trying at this point to get ot to go to a different ROM is not a good idea right at this minute.
2. 28 and 29 from what I read makes no difference - users try each one to see which one works better on THEIR flashed ROM.
3. What I would do is look for the HARDSPL that goes with what you had loaded to begin with - or the actual SPL that came with your original ROM and put that one back.
I would be stuck here because I have to use JUMPSPL on my phone because I get the white screen - but I THINK that (don't quote me because I do not do it this way) if you don't get the white screen you can just flash the HARDSPL to your phone without JUMPSPL (having to be able to copy something to your phone.
HOWEVER - if you cannot or do not know how to continue from reading the WIKI - you MUST request help from a professional - I have already recommended one. (GSLEON3)

Based on your current track record, I wouldn't suggest you use MTTY as you have a VERY HIGH probability of bricking your phone (ie: it won't ever be usable again).

so im fu--.

Can you get the phone into the bootloader mode? Turn the phone off (pull the battery if you have to) then press and hold the camera button while you turn the phone on. You should get to a tri-color screen (this is the boot loader). Now plug in the USB cord and see if it switches from saying Serial to USB. If so, you can try flashing AN OFFICIAL ROM THAT WAS MEANT FOR YOUR PHONE (ie: Don't try to put an offical AT&T rom on an Orange). When you run the RUU program it will tell you that you need to have ActiveSync working, but don't worry about that. If your phone in bootloader shows USB, you can continue on.
BUT AGAIN... You need the Official rom that was meant for your device. Since you are not HardSPL'd you have to do it this way.
If you don't understand any of that, or have questions, don't just try it hoping you get it right...
As stated previously, it would be well worth you time to get someone like GSLEON to assist if you can.

Cool. Glad that worked for you.... NOW, your next task is to read and understand ALL the steps before you try flashing a custom rom. HardSPL that sucker (but understand and follow EVERY step before you try that) and then you should be good to go...

my only problem is that their are so many strings of information and so many threads even wiki is confusing.
i will try to do this after i will make some order it all of this.
tnx again 4 the help

Not to be mean but if you have red Wiki and looked at threads here and they "don't make sense to you". You really have no business flashing a rom. If you don't understand what you are doing sooner or later you will brick your phone from your lack of knowledge and it will be no ones fault but your own.
I am really surprised people were willing to repeat what has been typed out hundreds and hundreds of times on these forums.

Not booting anymore

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my phone, during a ROM upgrade i received "Failed" on my screen and after reboot I see a white screen with some info about my phone, RRU text and at bottom an image with a chip.
What can I do ?
Thanks!

U need tell us more do u have a 32A or 32B wat rom did u try flashing?

Hello,
I used RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver.
My model is 32A.
Thanks.

hi,
been there done that, here's my step :
Download this file :
http://rapidshare.com/files/310783087/HTC_Magic__SMARTONE-VODAFONE__ROM_3.03.990.6_with_HTC_Sense.exe
it's solve my half brick magic.

Hi,
I tried the update but it's not working. I receive this on the screen :
Checking Custom ID ...
Update Fail!
In the attachment you can see how my screen looks like.
Thanks.

Any ideas on this ?

make sure you phone is fully charged.
it happened to me once it stopped on the half way during installation bcoz of the low battery.
take out the battery, wait for a while, put it back, don't turn on, just charge.
I saw you got a perfect SPL, I think you can try all 3.5 RUU except the one comes with 1.76,0010
if you have a gold card, you can get any rom1.zip from above RUU to try it.
(i think rom1.zip)
don't forget to rename it to sappimg
hope this help.
cheers

Hi thihaz,
Thank you for your message.
How much should I keep the phone on charge ? The battery has a lot of power, it's almost full.
So the SPL from my attached image is good ? Can you recommend me a good ROM ?
I tried a few more ROMs but during the installation that screen persists and I receive the message :
Checking Custom ID ...
Update Fail!
I tried to make a gold card, but the VolumeDown+Power combination doesn't work. Also, I cannot boot into fast boot.
From that screen I suppose that the phones expects some kind of signal from RRU install but I don't know what to say ... I'm not an expert.
Thank you very much.

Also your phone is a 32A or 32B?
I might need to try this too but would like to hear some more of how you did yours.
Thanks

On my 32A didn't worked that update.

Isnt 1.76.0009 perfected?
Well something tells me you need to get the RUU which fit your phone. One with the same or higher SPL cause you got S-ON. Good luck with it!

Hi everyone,
With a great help from HTC Support I fixed my phone.
My model is HTC Magic from Vodafone Romania.
To fix it I downloaded a ROM from here : http://www.htc.com/cz/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=246&cat=2&dl_id=776
Please note that this ROM is designed for models from Vodafone Romania.
Cheers.

my hd2 is a timer...

hey guys..i noticed that my hd2 is a timer XDXD every 4 minutes one percent of battery power it's used...even if i don't use it or it's in standby....i istalled the update radio version...but there is the same problem....my battery works for 2 hours.....someone can help me....i dont' know anymore what i can do....

No one will able to help you without you providing more information. There are literally hundreds of possible reasons for your battery drain:
- running processes
- ROM version
- radio version
To save a lot of time in the long run, hard reset and reinstall apps one by one. If you notice the problem recurring, you have found the solution.
I know you are going to say "I don't want to hard reset" but you have little choice. No one wants to hard reset.
Good luck.

i hard resetted more than 10 times my hd2 so i'll try another one...but the problem is there...i thought ...it can be a problem of the battery...maybe i have to change it with another new battery..

You could try that, it is an expensive way to test your battery by buying another one.
If you install a stock ROM and try that for a day or so, you will see whether it is a hardware or software related issue.

and where can i donwload this stock rom??? my rom is artemis italian rom 2.13 with radio 2.07.51.22_2 version and 2.5.20 manila version...

Relax...take a deep breath. Turn off your phone . Start it back up while also pressing the volume down key . Keep it pressed until you are presented with "the bootloader screen".
If it says HSPL 1.66 or 2.08 you are all set. You can Download a STOCK ROM from VBN Files or HERE: http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html
After you have downloaded the rom(it will appear like a new application) you can jump to step 2 which is getting Task29 application. I will Atach it here . Now . While in Bootloader, Connect your hd2 to your pc . Run task 29 app (extracted from the archive i attached here) go ahead and press next next next. It will erase everything on your phone . After it is at 100% it will restart the phone . Remember to quickly press volume down again to bring the phone into bootloader once more. Now Run the OFFICIALL ROM APP and voila.
!ATTENTION! => THIS IS ONLY GOOD IF YOU HAVE "HSPL".
IF your phone says SPL version 1.x or 2.x no "H" then you have to use an entirely new method of flashing . For more info just read :

I see your problem is not resolved yet!

first, you dont have enough info.. otherwise we'll be guessing until you try everything. i think it has to do with your radio, rom or WiFi cuz i've had that problem then I said i had enough and flashed t mobile's latest Rom, replacing the custom radio, rom and hard spl. it corrected the problem, lol. its like taking taking out three birds with one stone.

nooo my buddyyy... my hd2 burnssssss

damn...i have a big problem... i used task29 to erase the hd2 and istall the leon italian rom but with that download i didn't have to use task ad now i don't have the file of the rom to rename and put into the storage card and istall...but i thought ..i can istall artemis rom and then istall leon rom with the istaller...or the original htc rom...

If you have HSPL just download http://www.4shared.com/file/X9gQD6tK/RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1664052_Radio_.html and try it!
P.S.
I don't understand what you are saying. After task29 you just install an officiall rom like the one i posted in the link here ! I keep telling you to put an officiall original ROM onto your device and NOT A CUSTOM ! Artemis,Leon, are all CUSTOM ROMS . You have to put a officiall htc one after task29 ! That should make your device more stable. After you see everything is allright you can proceed with further flashes. Just try !

yeah but i'm downloading it..but after done with task29 my ppc is empty and how have i to istall the rom???

Start the phone by holding down the volume down button and the power button . Keep the volume down key pressed until u see the bootloader menu . Connect to pc . FLASH !

OMG....i love you guys....you are genies....god bless your mind....

you can also try this: remove your sd-card and check how the battery drain is. in my case, i didn't format the sd-card with the phone's tool...battery performance was very poor.
then i copied all the files of the card to pc, formatted the card inside the phone with the tool provided by htc (an app on your phone), and then copied back the files onto the card.
now, with artemis v18, radio 2.11.50.20 and hspl 1.66, i have the best battery life i've ever had. normal usage (some sms, 30 min. phone call, 1h wifi, 1h 3g surfing, some games...) , and my battery lasts sometimes nearly 2.5 days!

[Q] Couple of problems with the Desire S

Hi everybody. I'm starting a new thread because there are quite a few issues on this phone and I wanted your help in understanding them.
I'm using an Orange HTC desire S which I bought from a local market in India. This was about six months back and it picked up my Vodafone sim easily so i presumed it had some kind of Sim unlocker.
PROBLEM 1
Fast forward to a few days back when I thought getting root access would be fun and would enable many more options. I booted into recovery mode and here is where the first problem kicks in.
When I boot using the volume + power button option, my phone tells me it's S-OFF and then proceeds(on its own) to a different menu. It shows two options only.
1. Device info
2. Clean S58 data
There's no way at all to return to the previous screen here on. It gets stuck here because option 1 gives me general data about the phone and option 2 runs what seems like the sim unlock problem, tells me there's no update and returns to the same menu. I'm always(2 attempts) left with only the battery pull option which invariably clears all the data on my phone and works like a hard reset.
I also tried this without the memory card and got stuck at the black screen with the red exclamation mark.
Can someone tell me what's wrong here and what I need to do to get root access.
PROBLEM 2
This is more of a confusion I face. Most of my friends using the Desire S have got the sense 3.0 update but my phone is still running on 2.1 and tells me it is up to date. On the forum, most people seem to have received the 2.3.5 and the 3.0 update. Why am I not getting it?
Is it because i'm not on the orange network or is it something else(like s off)?
What do i need to do to get the updates in India?
Thanks for reading.
Can someone tell me what's wrong and how I should proceed?

Sukrit, most of your answers are within your questions. I've highlighted them in Red...
First of all, just because you purchased it in India (Somewhere like Gaffar Market, etc) doesn't mean it's from HTC India. HTC software update doesn't look at what sim card you're using to allot upgrades to your phone... It localises you depending on the software shipped with the phone.
Secondly, your phone is an Orange branded device and unlocking stuff is usually more troublesome and dangerous on branded devices... As for the solution to PROBLEM 1 as posted by you, look inside your sd card for a file named PG88IMG.zip. If you find it, back it up on your pc and delete it from the sd card. See if that helps, as having an update zip on your memory card will force your bootloader to flash it whether you want it to do so or not... Let's call it the phone's "instinct" to flash the PG88IMG.zip if it finds it while in bootloader.
I also suggest you read the Guides in the general section carefully, especially the warning about branded devices... But since you say you're s-off, half the battle is already won and i think you'll be okay to root.
As for the battery pull, it does not reset your phone data my friend... your data will all be safe and all it does is a soft reset, NOT a hard reset. You are more likely to fry your eMMC chip doing that... and that would be a MUCH bigger problem, as i'm kinda sure your phone doesn't even have a distant cousin called "warranty"
Let me know if you found an update zip on your sd card like i mentioned above, and we'll pick it up from there.
Cheers. Hope i can be of help.

Thanks a lot for answering and helping me with my problem.

I understand. There are two files that i think are relevant.
1. HTC-ANDROID-GOLD_CARD. I haven't put this in as far as I remember. Size-0 bytes.
2. PG88DIAG.nbh. I'm presuming this is the file you were talking about? There is a slight difference in name,though.

This is what is weird,Amit. If I pull the battery when the phone is at the device info and clear s58 data screen, it always hard resets. All software/contacts,basically anything on the phone memory disappears. Why does this happen?
If you think this behavior is normal then i'll remove the file in the memory card and try again.
Thanks a ton!

Why don't we start by removing the PG88DIAG file from the sd card (back it up on PC), and also the GOLD CARD file, which obviously was used by the nefarious Gaffar guys to s-off your phone...,
This will hopefully give you access to bootloader and fastboot so you can root and flash a custom recovery. Once you've done that, you can flash whatever ROM you like.
I'd recommend Endymion if you want the best possible sense 3.5 experience...
Let me know if removing those two files allows you to remain in bootloader and access recovery...

Hey Amit. Removing the two files has worked fine. Thanku
What steps should i take now to get root access?
Or, can I just load the orange ROM available on the other thread without rooting?

Congrats buddy!
Firstly, you cannot flash a custom ROM without a custom recovery...
To obtain root access, you can use Gingerbreak.apk
I suggest you just flash a custom recovery (I personally recommend 4EXT Recovery) via fastboot or you can simply use 4EXT Recovery updater app (free) or 4EXT Recovery Control app (paid, check my signature for link), then take a nandroid backup of your current ROM, and then Flash a Custom ROM.
You don't have to stick to Orange ROMs... you can flash whatever ROM you want... I highly recommend Endymion, but the choice is ultimately yours to make...
Glad you got this far... happy times ahead for you!!

This didn't work. I left it on two times for more than 15 minutes.

I can do this without root too,right?

Yup, everything seems to be fine. Go ahead and root your phone... flash 4EXT Recoery via 4EXT Recovery Updater app, and then after taking a backup, and doing a full wipe, flash whatever ROM you want to...
Read the instructions and guides carefully in the general and Development section prior to this, and remember...DO NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY WHILE THE PHONE IS STILL ON! It's better to try other methods to reboot it, or even let it discharge over time and switch off by itself, rather that attempt to pull battery. Othert than this, i think you're ok to flash a new ROM, and enter the amazing world of custom ROMs...

Hey. I decided to be a little experimental and just couldn't wait either; installed revolutionary and i've got root access. Ha!
Thanks so much for your help.
Now tell me, what ROM should I use?
i've also installed clockwork.
Thanks a ton again!
Edit: I think you missed a part of my reply. Gingerbreak hadn't worked hence i opted for this.

Congrats!
If you want a Sense 3 ROM, go for Hyperion
For Sense 3.5 (My personal favourite) go for Endymion
For crazy theming options, you can try MIUI from MIUI.us
If you like plain stock look.... Cyanogenmod.
I would however still recommend Endymion (Though i like v2.2 better than v3)
P.S. Just a friendly question... Gaffar me kitne ka pada ye phone? I bought my phone new...but my wife wants one now and i don't want to put in the money for a new phone from a mobile store...

i'll get endymion then, should follow your advise since you've helped so much. Do i need to make any changes to the hboot/radio?
and should i get both 3.1 and the add on package?
yaar, it'll be a lot cheaper now. when i bought it tab market price was around 22.5. I got it for 16.5 with box and accessories. At that time, there were only two shops that had the desire S and this was the only one that functioned properly.
i'm pretty sure you can get it for less than 13k now.
I'll try n get you the shop's name and number. i've bought both the desire and the desire s from him and they've worked well.

You can get the v3.1 without the addon initially. See how it works for you... Then you can flash the addon package if you feel like Modding the ROM. I'm still on v2.2 because I didn't feel the need to upgrade.
Please do get me the number of your guy in gaffar as I'm planning to get a galaxy note as well as a desire s...

Hey. Looked everywhere for the number but I just can't find it. Awfully sorry,man.
I don't know if you've ever been to Gaffar before but just incase you haven't,do ensure that you buy from a proper shop and not people with cabinets full of phones. These guys will offer you cheaper prices but will also disappear in a couple of days.
There are only 5-6 big shops which sell import phones,most of them are decent and will offer you a week or two worth of hardware guarantee. Enough for you to atleast test the phone out.

[Q] HTC Butterfly x920D CID_038 india - Need stock RUU

Hi All,
I couldnt find any indian RUU posted for Butterfly x920d indian cid ( CID_038). I was able to Unlock and Install custom roms. But i flashed a firmware.zip from TW which messed it all up.
Now indian Radio entries are wiped out. No previous backup with me either.
It would be extremely helpful if you could share a step by step instruction which I can follow and some files to flash my phone.
Phone details:
DELUX_UB1 PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.555.000
RADIO- 3A.32.306.04 ----> I got this after flashing a wrong firmware / not meant for India
os-3.15.707.4
CID_038
Couldnt manage to perform S-Off and CID 111111 either. ;-(
I have installed TWRP recovery. tried installing insertcoin_6thsense_dlxub1-3.0.6 but it kept reboot. Infact, i resorted to custom roms coz my phone kept rebooting and loosing network ( showed x in the network status symbol on the top right)
If anyone could help me get this phone in working condition, I would be very grateful
Currently installed DLXB1_U_JB_50_hTC_Asia_TW_2.28.709.3.Zip but it keeps rebooting and my SIM and external 16gb SD Card does not get recognized.
Have been on XDA since 3 days (3x20hrs) only to realize no one has messed up as much as I have, atleast from INDIA where not may post from which i need.
Please Help!!!
Regards,

Service Center technitian
I only spoke to the service centre technitian and on learning the phone was rooted he straightaway mentioned "Need to replace the motherboard"
OMG! im shocked.. Someone please help me get a stock rom and make my phone look like it was never rooted. Plzzz

Right now no solution ! Sad
I am in the same situation as well. First of all it started off with me buying this **** and utter crap HTC "Brick" x920d which didnt show up in India at all and some stores foxed customers to buy few in the stock of this crap.
2. The next thing as an addon was me rooting this device, indeed successfully done.
3. Now the real problem started, tried installing x920d compatible MIUI (Failed)
4. Tried installing "Insertcoin 3.0.6" (Failed)
5. No further ROMs available for this Indian version, even stock ROM isnt there.
6. Eventually bricking up this thing.
7. Tried every possible link on the internet but all in vain.
What to do now ? Is there any solution ? Or this Rs.45,000/- device is no more ?

Sorry for you buddy! I really can understand how upset you would be.
But I am amazed no one has replied with a solution on this forum. Dev's Please look into this issue.
@ Decorides: At what stage does your phone fail.. I mean, in my case my phone starts, the Insertcoin rom looks and feels great but the phone keeps restarting every 2 - 3 mins and does not recognize the SIM and Memory card. WHats the issue with your phone?
Where r u from ?
