Guest radiogaurav Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Edited the entire first post to make it clear what the issue *was* and what the solution is: ISSUE: 1. Desire screen not switching on at all even though phone switches on. 2. Phone boots but doesn't go beyond bootloader/recovery/fastboot 3. Can get into recovery even though nothing comes on screen (test: press volume down and power. Wait for 10 seconds. Press volume down. Press power. Phone should vibrate. Wait 20 seconds. Phone should now be in recovery mode.) 4. Can get into fastboot (back+power) 5. No goldcard CAUSE of MY ISSUE: I had Aura Sense7.9+AlphaRev S-Off. Cause::Ran a very old RUU just because I wanted to bring things back to stock. The RUU overwrote my HBOOT from 0.93 to god knows what. Turned out, the RUU was for amoled screens and not for SLCD screen. So even though the phone turned on, the screen never did. SOLUTION: 1. Make sure you have HTC Sync drivers installed. Install HTC Sync and then just remove the application and not the drivers. I also installed the unrevoked hboot drivers. Do the same. 2. Get Android SDK http://dl.google.com/android/android...07-windows.zip 3. Check that your phone is recognized in recovery and fastboot by your system once drivers are installed -- once you install the drivers, boot into recovery (point 3 of issue -- you should hear beeps in win7 signalling a device connection). Open android_sdk/tool directory in command line and type 'adb devices'. Your device should come up. Similarly take phone into fastboot, and then in command line type 'fastboot devices' your phone should come up. 4.Switch off phone after test. Next, take phone into recovery mode and create gold card. Follow http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how...te-a-goldcard/ or use the Gold Card Tool . The last part of the Gold Card Tool (Patch MMC) didn't work for me so I used the hex editor manually. Make sure you start with the SD Card that came with your phone. I tried 2 cards and it didn't work. Just the SD Card with the phone did! 5. After gold card is made, download 'RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32. 44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed' RUU from shipped-roms. This is the latest RUU that I could find for SLCD screen. 6. Run RUU and if your gold card is correct, you should sail right through. and be greeted by a working Desire. Phew!

Guest [email protected] Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Hi All, I seem to have got myself in a bit of a pickle last night. I need your help getting this to work again please. Situation: 1. Had my factory unlocked slcd 0.93hboot desire rooted with s-off. 2. Tried running a RUU to bring things back to stock. 3. Turns out the RUU was not for slcd but for amoled. The RUU went ahead and rewrote the hboot but didn't go any further because of some signature failure. Right now: 1. The phone screen just wouldn't turn on. 2. Pressing button phone combinations does bring it to bootloader and fastboot modes -- checked by android sdk (fastboot devices) and by the fact that RUU still recognizes the phone. 3. Because the RUU was for a different screen, it somehow screwed things up and now the screen doesn't come on at all. I can't seem to get any RUU to work -- have downloaded at least 6 from shipped-roms and all error out with CID signature failure. I do not have a gold card. Can anyone get me out of this situation please? I can get into fastboot and bootloader but nothing else seems to work. Is there anything more that I can do? Anyone know of any valid Asia India RUU that is for SLCD? I tried one Asia and WWE SLCD RUUs but they error out. Help Please...!

I bought a factory unlocked Desire which wasn't branded so never made a goldcard -- foolish now that I think of it. Any attempt to make a gold card now results in errors. I can't see what's going on in the phone as the screen doesnt work and though i did manage to get adb shell to work once, it wouldn't mount the sdcard -- mount /sdcard results in errors. What else can I do. Thanks again.

Guest Droidzone Posted November 8, 2010 Report Posted November 8, 2010 I'll get home and give this a try. Fingers crossed. I have a similiar problem. Summary: Bricked SLCD Desire (India) after trying to flash an RUU for Asia_India with an old HBOOT version. It gives me Incorrect Hboot error. Dont have Goldcard Phone has no display. Fastboot seems to interact with phone. But adb does not show any devices. RUU gives error of "Old Bootversion" if using the RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_1277 5_signed Other RUUs give an Incorrect CID error. At my wit's end. Please help
