Guest dartisan Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) Well I fear I may have fully bricked my Desire. I've been doing step 1 with all the typical error messages reported along the way. On a couple of occasions it seemed to be all done, but the phone itself wont now turn on into fastboot or recovery mode... in fact it wont much turn on at all! On one occasion it appeared to be doing something, as the phone made a little start-up noise and a noise seemingly acknowledging the USB connection and the keys and power light coming on, but with nothing whatsoever appearing on the display! On re-attempting step 1 now even that's gone, just the black screen. I can still just about re-run step 1 by getting Windows to acknowledge the USB connection is there (and the RUU process seeming to run as it should, which presumably means it's accessing the phone?) so maybe there's still hope? ADB doesn't list it as a device at the moment though so I wonder. I fear the Windows driver issues have done me over. I'm also wondering if perhaps the battery has discharged? Although it was more than 50% before I started the process perhaps working on it for a couple of hours could have spent that? Will it USB charge at all times? There's no sign of a light to indicate it's charging. If not presumably I'll have to find somebody with a Desire to borrow to get my battery charged? Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated! I've rooted phones and hacked plenty of things before but have yet to manage to actually brick something. I could do without it first happening whilst working on my brand new Desire! :huh: Cheers!

Guest Andreas R. Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi, It looks like a lot of german T-Mobile Desire has a problem. We can can: - Update from T-Mobile ROM to HTC WWE ROM - Update to Froyo - Downgrade to Bootloader 0.8 We can't - Root the Device ( Error 43 or Error 42 ) - Update to other ROM's T-Mobile ROM and WWE ROM don't work => Error: bootloader version error To "repair" this error we have to root the device, but this does not work. HELP Had the same problem. Try: http://blog.23corner.com/2010/08/17/univer...oot-1-6-2-beta/. This got me a temporarily rooted desire (had to downgrade it to 2.1 with the PB99IMG.zip method first). Then I was able to unbrick the phone (seems to be the problem you have; see here: http://www.chrismarsh.co.uk/chippie.me.uk/desirebrick.html, root it with with unrevoked3 and now I'm a happy desire user with a rooted froyo again ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jdsilas89 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Hi, I live in Sydney, Australia, and recently purchased a HTC Desire from the UK, unlocked but branded to Orange. I am still trying to root it with no success. I created the gold card, and then got as far as running the r6 desire root. i clicked on step one, and it got the progress going, and there was a Black screen on my phone with the words HTC written on it (as i'm sure is supposed to happen). however, the command prompt in windows finished running and closed but the phone still had the black screen on it. So then I decided to download the r5 desire root .zip and ran step 1, which worked out fine and brought me back to the fastboot screen. however, i noticed that the rom version of the phone hadnt changed. i ignored that and decided to go on to recovery mode where the black screen with a picture of the htc with a red triangle above it. i clicked on step 2, and the process on the computer finished running and command prompt closed by itself again but the phone was stuck at the black screen. I dont know what I'm doing wrong because I've followed all the steps. could anyone help? Thanks please email your reply to [email protected] if possible. thanks.

I ripped off battery, reinserted it and tried to repeat whole process from the start, hoping that it will help. Unfortunately, it didn't. All process repeated exactly the same way including disconnections. Without display this time, of course. Paul, maybe you have any brilliant idea how can I return my HTC back to life? upd. Damned...

Guest 87racer Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 In the US USCC is getting the HTC Desire tomorrow. USCC's network and the Desire are cdma. I have never had a android phone and am unsure of whether or not the rooting process is specific to cdma/gsm as I know flashing roms to windows mobile devices requires specific roms based on whether your device is cdma or gsm. Basically, will this process work on a cdma HTC Desire or will it break the device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest f0urier Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Hi I have been trying to figure out the logic behind all the different rooting / flashing guides. I have (as far as I can see) an unbranded HTC Desire. Got it back in June this year so I'm quite sure its a AMOLED display. Software info: Firmware: 2.1-update1 Baseband: 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11 Kernel: 2.6.29-97da29ed Build: 1.15.405.4 CL155070 Bootloader: 0.75xxx Questions: 1. From what I can figure out thus far, it doesnt seem like I would need to use a goldcard to root? It this correct? 2. We use WCDMA in South Africa, would I need to flash any radio updates to get proper GSM / WCDMA functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mancman Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hi, I tried rooting my phone, but it appears I have hit a problem, when the rom upgraded and i was ready to pull the usb cable out, the screen just went black! strangely i can switch the phone on and it vibrates, but nothing comes on, i cannot hard reset it nor hold the volume button down and switch it back on. I reckon it might be something to do with the USB staying in disk drive or something like that or the memory card (sandisk 512mb) i think it is a couple of years old. anyway does anyone have any ideas on how to change the usb settings, or if anyone has come across this problem with a solution. any help would be greatly appreciated as on tuesday HTC are coming to pick the phone up and take it away for diagnosis, probably weeks :P Many thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chastity Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Hello. From what I've seen, unbranded devices (Desire) sold in Greece have OS version 2.1 and a HBOOT greater than 1 and not eg 0.8 or 0.75. Is this guide suitable for these devices? Does it matter if I update to Froyo before rooting? Do I need to make a GoldCard if my Desire is unbranded? How about unrevoked3 rooting solution? regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rodeo Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hi, I have some problems with the rooting. I had installed LeeDroid 1.9a, but I often had reboots. So I tried to install a new image, but I got reboot loops, when trying to get in the recovery mode, after pressing recovery in hboot 0.80. So I made a new goldcard and did the r6-desire-root-alt step1 without a problem. But after pressing bootloader and recovery, the desire gets a bootloop again. I cant boot into the rom, its just looping the "android" sign. Any Idea? Thx Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
