It's allready installing for 30 minutes, got a black screen with a phone image looking a bit like the DHD with a red triangle (with an exclamation mark) on it. Should I wait longer or do something?

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
have been running this since sat or sun when the ruu was posted in the roms area. It is android 2.2.1 its quite nippy but. IT WILL STOP YOU rooting your phone the new radio it quite a lot better in both signal and battery useage.
Yes! Updating..
for those who like to maintain the root option, make sure you get Radio S-OFF before updating
this way you can always go back once a root a solution was found

If you have radio S-OFF you can flash but will lose root. Normal rooting method will not work, you can have the new radio, you still retain the ability to return to the previous rom though. You will remain S-OFF
- If i have ENG S-Off, i can flash it as well as the new radio but it will crash on SU and won't have wifi
If you have ENG S-OFF only then you will lose everything and still not have root, you will also lose the ability to return to the previous rom. You will become S-ON.
also i didn't understand will wifi still work using the radio s-off method?
Wifi works on either S-OFF.

take out the battery, wait 10 seconds, put the battery back and pray it will boot after you turn on the phone.
from what i can notice is that i have more ram available, till now with a "kill all" had 350 mb now i have 440 mb free ram.
That sounds bad, any way to restore if it doesn't boot? Phone is not rooted or anything like that, so no clockwork recovery.

well the red triangle means something went bad, i remember that i got the same message when i tried to back`up my rom with clockwork recovery but after i got the battery out and turned on the phone it was OK, but after i installed an official RUU because the system was ****ed up.
Well it booted fine, that's a relief.
I am now doing the update. (running Core Rom).
I get the exclamation sign with the little android puppet. Will wait 10 minutes. If no reaction I will restart.
Tried again, same thing as before, phone icon with exclamation sign. Guess there is either something wrong with my phone or with the update. Guessing the latter.
you will run into problems if you attempt the OTA from a custom rom
Afaik it`s not recommended to install OTA`s if you are are running custom roms so be carrefull.
@tsurany i doubt it`s the update because i made it too and it`s ok but i have to admit that i installed an oficial rom before just to be CLEAN but dunno what to say, it`s a pain to remake everything.
Well tried it with a custom Rom. It didn't work as expected. After battery removal it doest restart and function normally.
Update installed fine here. I don't really notice a huge improvement in low light video recording..

Hey guys,
Few of you in the cyanogenmod irc room the other night might have recalled me totally bricking my t-mobile mytouch by pulling the battery after a reboot... dumbest thing I have ever done. I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable linux geek, but unfortunately I panicked and did the worst possible thing, pulling my batt and completely bricking my phone.
I was installing the 4.1.999 cyanogen mod. Phone was so toast it wouldn't charge. Status led's wouldn't work, it was 100% toast. Fortunately I was able to have it replaced and would like to try again in a day or so.
Here is a video showing exactly what I did, please excuse the length of the video it goes from start to finish, backing up and flashing everything, up until the point where I pulled the battery. I'd love to know what I did wrong, so I can try again!
View the video here on vimeo -> http://vimeo.com/7022688
Ok, here's what you did wrong:
The first steps are good... You've installed the 1.6 update, then applyed the cyanogen rom... After that I've seen that it was installed a new radio... That might have killed your phone...
At least that appears to be the problem... But why a new radio was installed, no idea... (I don't think you did it on purpose)...
the phone you have there is a magic not a dream.For a start that dosnt help!! Other than that i think yiou have put Dream radio on the device, It not being a dream is the problem as when it detects its the wrong radio the phone goes into a safe mode where it wont turn on to save breaking it.
HTC might fix it under warranty as they did me but it WILL come back with perfect spl on.I have flashed the wrong radio on 2 phones yes 2! now i learn from my mistakes Oh and when/if it gets fixed and you bypass perfect spl, You cant put any ROM Other than donut based ones so no hero takes the fun out of flashing
All bricks I've seen are because you guys install new( in most cases wrong radio- from different phone or MotherBoard version) or changing SPL (exception: people with perfect SPL). I'm asking WHY you do this , WHAT FOR ? Putting different rom /rooting etc does NOT require changing anything and is simple as bread and butter, and you CAN'T damage the phone !! Sorry to see this I'm not 100% sure but it looks like you have flashed with wrong radio. As my predecessor said I think only HTC can fix it... To all people DO NOT TOUCH SPL AND RADIO IF YOU JUST WANT TO PUT HERO ROM OR ROOT THE PHONE (exception ppl with perfect SPL)
i accidently flashed the radio for ION on my 32A last week. got my phone fixed under warranty thank god. but i got the perfected SPL.
if you do get the perfected SPL, you dont really need to change your SPL to flash stuff on your phone.
just replace your recovery using the recovery flasher apk a.k.a the one click root.
reboot to recovery, flash a new ROM that is rooted.
then using the adb shell method, flash a new recovery permanently to your phone.
i have had no issues using that method since i got my perfected SPL.

after applying the 4.1.999 update you pressed the trackball to reboot your suppose to hold the home key while its rebooting on that step till the mytouch screen shows up also you need to wipe the ext. redo the last step then the my3g should be fine in other words reflash the cyanogen
u install wrong recovery
Install instructions for an HTC Magic (32B ONLY!!!)/ION/MyTouch3G
Same as above if you are using CM-Recovery 1.4.
OR
Same as above EXCEPT step 2
Download HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 http://www.androidspin.com/downloads...ooted_base.zip
*You have to manually reboot MT3G and hold home.
he can use the ra recovery image it works because i used it on mine
Turns out I used the wrong recovery image before doing the cyanogen flash.
I followed this guide on my second phone (swapped out my old white one for a black mytouch) and am running 4.1.999 right now - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4666075&postcount=282
Hello,
I ran the radio OTA, followed the instructions, and after it rebooted itself it is just stuck on the htc incredible splash screen. If I hold power down and power I do get in to the boot loader, but rebooting still hangs on that splash screen. I read through the OTA thread and I didnt see any mention of this problem, any ideas?
Also, if I put PB31IMG.zip back on and let it do its thing, it tells me the version is too old. Any ideas?
did u wipe?

I'm having the same problem, and I just ran the 2.15.00.07.28 radio zip. To be honest I didn't wipe first as I thought I didn't need to. I did run unrevoked forever prior to attempting this install. I was going to right before installing CM6.. but obviously I didn't get that far. I did run a nandroid backup before hand.
So right now I'm still staring at this htc incredible splash screen. Holding power or volume down or both doesn't change anything and I'm afraid to take out the battery. Any suggestions?!
Thanks
edit: ok so I read on the 2.15 release thread that some others were having the same problem.. Am I safe to pull out the battery and try a reflash?

OK, what are you trying to do? Sounds like you are trying to install the leaked OTA from early July (the one that gives 720P video recording)?
If that IS what you are attempting, it sounds like you already have it otherwise you wouldn't be getting that main version is older message. Check your hboot version, if it is .77 that is stock, .79 is the newer one I think
Are you sure you are using the correct PB31IMG.zip? The one you want is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726791

My fault, I misunderstood.
No you can flash any radio, just dont flash the same one twice, or step on any cracks, and never walk under a ladder!
I just went from 1.03.04... to 2.05, and now just installed 2.15.. I didn't have any problems at all.
My fix
I had this exact issue, where it hangs on the HTC Incredible boot screen after trying to update the radio. I could boot into HBOOT (voldown+power) after a battery pull, and when it tried to update my PB31IMG.zip file, it would give some type of error, and when I would try and go into recovery it would jump back to the HTC Incredible boot screen and hang again.
I determined that my problem was caused either by a bad radio or bad recovery flash from the PB31IMG.zip file I had downloaded. I pulled my SD card and plugged it into my laptop using the MicroSD-to-SD adapter, deleted the PB31IMG.zip file, REDOWNLOADED the file from my laptop and stuck it back in the root of my SD card, the put the SD card back in the phone and rebooted into HBOOT and reflashed the radio/recovery. Problem solved.
I don't know if that will work for everyone, but it is exactly what happened to me.
Hope it helps,

Yeah, unfortunately this is not going to work for everyone. I was permanently disabled after trying this method. I'm still lurking around for a sure fix to avoid the same issue on my new phone.

Yes my phone was bricked using that method. I'm trying not to overuse the term "bricked."
Thanks for all the help.. but once I pulled the battery and turned the phone back on, apparently it booted up just fine. I guess it just needed a little push in the right direction. Once I checked the settings, the radio was indeed flashed. I got really worried over nothing I installed CM6 and everything is just fine.
HI GUYS!
After hours of searching for my problem.. I finally gave up.. ending on LOOSING!!! hehehe...
Here's what happen...
I decided to update my CyanogenMod 7.0.0-RC1.7002 2.3.3 into 7004. I don't like to use ROM manager so I use the old trick.. home+power key to go to recovery. Clearing data,cache,system....
But it seems that i get STATUS 7 error. After reading on I decided to update clockwork mod from 6.0.0.5 to 6.0.0.6.
Updating it in the recovery.. Its says update complete for clockwork.. I decided to reboot clockwork so i can try to update my rom again..
Now I can't boot into clockwork recovery.. BOOM! LOOSING.. =(
Reading on different threads.. my eyes really hurts now and forgot about my laundry.. sun is down T_T NO LUCK FOR ME..
Here's what I can and can't do right now
-I can only boot to HBOOT
- can fastboot usb but can't detect my memory card
- when i do up+power, I get 3 vibrates but blank screen..
- in the endless TATTOO spash screen.. I can hook it to computer but cannot detect the device.. it says error at some point.
-when i hit home in hboot.. it goes to endless TATTOO splash screen but no recovery appear.
-when i go to simlock FAT32 int OK.255 not key-card!!!! shown.
I hope I can recover my phone as I suspected it is bricked.. omg will i be... LOOSING??!!
Please help genius.. thank you very much!
rommanager is buggy and boot loop occurs. gapp also the cause.
redo it. wait for splash screen blue circle.. it will work
no luck,... i waited for 15 minutes on tattoo logo.. and i think that is enough if i would see the blue spash screen.. T_T but i didn't..
any other ideas? genius persons of xda =)
I had a lot of this TATTOO screen bootloops when trying to update custom roms in the past, and the most of the times I could connect with adb.
If you can, I think you can flash the recovery image again via adb.
If you can't, try to flash the stock rom from windows. There is a sticky that have info about this(because theres a problem to use the correct drivers, needed to be my htc both on normal boot and on hboot).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646663
Another thing you can try is to take the rom.zip from your pc' s temp dir(run RUU utility and without to close it, search in temp dir for rom.zip), rename it to CLICIMG.zip, put it to sd card(via a card reader if cannot recognized by usb) and flash the rom from hboot(the stock rom).
take a look
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989762
thanks dancer_69.. but I was just about to do the rom.zip procedure but boogeyCZ says it needs the goldcard and I have none.
>.<
I successfully created it last year but my laptop crashed and needs a full wipe.. I did not backup my goldcard (failure)
Is it possible to do the rom.zip procedure without the goldcard?
using the stock rom puts me back to the original rom (1.6). Doing this requires me to root my phone again am i right?
I think that if the rom is the same with the rom that the device had from factory, the goldcard isn't nessecary(it works for me several times).
And yes, you're right, you need to do the rooting proccess from the begining as the phone will return to factory state
well i am in cyanogen mod 7 7002.. if I roll back to stock rom which is 1.6.. i can't do it is that what you mean?
Also, if I do this, what could possibly go wrong??
I have the stock rom now I am just waiting for genius replies from you and to all xda developers.. I think It's really not my fault as I did just the instructions of the developers in updating to 7004... Its just really hard when something goes wrong like what happened to me...
I am also thinking on going to HTC service center here in my country.. but the problem is the one year warranty covers only manufacture defect and manipulating the software of the phone will void the warranty. (I am just hoping they won't ask me what happen to it >.<)
I just want to do the best of my ability to fix it. So please help me get through it.. Thank you very much..
If the checks don't pass, the rom will not installed.
But if you have your stock rom, I think that it will flash without problems(I've done this 3 times on my device and without a goldcard). I think that the goldcard needed to be able to flash any Tattoo's official rom from hboot.
PROBLEM SOLVED!!
What I did is I went in htc service center in my country. (main office). They re-program my phone and after 15 minutes.. it's alive!! =)
But now I am having doubts in rooting my phone again. I think it is much better if I leave the phone in its true version of android.
-It is much faster and stable (when I am in CyanogenMod 7, it is laggy, occassional errors, unstable even with working camera now, it is still buggy as others said). I am more on speed and snappyness of the phone and for me a rooted HTC tattoo (gingerbread) slows the phone down. I am not saying rooting is bad, but for a phone that has low specs, maybe I will just upgrade my phone with a 1ghz processor and root it with cyanogenmod 7 and we will have a happy ending on it. =)
But it is a +100 to the developers, that at least I learned a lot in the world of android. Please keep up the good work and thank you very much genius people of xda developers, I can now say.... WINNING!!!!

I don't think that you have right about this.
I've used stock rom and custom roms in parallel in the past, and the custom roms win(even before camera and fm radio work). And the device is much faster with custom froyo and gb roms than the stock one. Plus the battery drains in a lot longer time(for me with stock rom battery needed every day charge, but with the last versions of froyo and gingerbread roms 2 days the minimum). Plus a lot more apps work with our tattoo.

I use one click recovery and then use rommanager, easy
Well we all have our perspective.. but thanks anyways. I will have a break on rooting, as soon as the cyanogenmod 7 is on stable situation.. i will try again.
You are righr, more apps is available when you root.. well i now feel the importance of rooting.
After much consideration... i rooted my tattoo again using CyanogenMod 7.0.0-RC2.2 (7007) 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Very pleased with the speed of the os now.. thank you very much kalim.
I use one click recovery but there is a memory error.. but it booted nicely.. its just that i cannot hook mass storage via recovery.. don't know why., I just use a memory card reader to transfer the rom. I don't want to use rom manager anymore, I am more or less traumatized on what happen.. hehe...
Again.. thanks! If you don't know how to root your HTC tattoo guys.. it is time for you to learn... =) very happy
Just got a new phone, worked fine, put in my sim and sd, all was working perfect, then I went to music selection and it saw my songs on my sd card, i started playing one, the phone froze and just played the last note like its stuck on it, all buttons would not work.
I took off the battery put it back on now when i power up it just sits on the white and purple screen that says " stick together" the tmoblie logo, and wont move from there.
Removed battery a few times same thing, pressed the little hard boot button same thing.
Any advice?
thank you in advance.
The "little button" is the same as pulling the battery.....a soft reset.
You should try a hard reset, and failing that a fresh flash.

Sounds like you're using stock. Stock never boded well with me either, so maybe you should try a custom rom. Search on the how to's, you'll learn something.

Been using the stock ROM on my old phone for a while never had any one of the many problems that ppl have listed on this forum, but I cracked the screen and got a new one, and just ran into that problem.
Took the battery off and let it sit for a few, put it back in and now it loads and works, just odd, how that happen, haven't put my card back in yet but well test again hopefully it wont do it again.
don't mean to hijack but im facing the same problem
but mine is a world wide hd2. it freezes on the HTC screen
when i try flashing a rom from the bootloader (using RUU), it always gives me a image corrupted error message.
i also can't flash a new radio. error 00018003 occurs when trying to flash a new radio.

Have you had your HD2 flashed with HSPL?
K so its happening more and more now, some times it gets to the Launching HTC Sense part of the boot and then shuts off and tries to reboot.
Any one seen this before or know a fix?
Or just doomed?

the original HD2 came with defected sdcards so if your using the one it came with then that's why it might freeze...
custom roms are better at using the phones resources... just cuz the old one worked fine with stock doesn't mean this one would

No using a diff 16 gig sd card, and even when i take it out it still does it,
The problem with the custom roms, I dont like how most of them look and dont want to spend all the time installing diff ones to see if I like it or not, dont have the knowledge or the time for it.
I am fine with the standard HTC sense, just want to figure out why this one keeps crashing on load, what the conflict is.

maybe u can download the TMobile HD2 rom from their website. you need to put in your IMEI to download. after that, from what i did with my tmous before, was enter bootloader then run the utility and it should work perfectly.
if it still doesn't boot up then im suspecting a hardware issue?

if it still doesn't boot up then im suspecting a hardware issue?

wrong radio rom flashed?
rysky007 said:
Just got a new phone, worked fine, put in my sim and sd, all was working perfect, then I went to music selection and it saw my songs on my sd card, i started playing one, the phone froze and just played the last note like its stuck on it, all buttons would not work.
I took off the battery put it back on now when i power up it just sits on the white and purple screen that says " stick together" the tmoblie logo, and wont move from there.
Removed battery a few times same thing, pressed the little hard boot button same thing.
Any advice?
thank you in advance.

Bricked is when you flash the wrong radio, like I did, and your power button will not work. Phone will not power up at all.
I'm running Virtuous 1.1.8 ROM with latest radio (stickied-thread that shows May 11th date).
The first I did (accidentily) was make S=on. Now, whenever I try to go to bootloader to load PD15IMG.zip, it says "Main version is older. Update fail".
I believe I need to get back to S=off and first put stock recovery on before doing the pd15img.zip... Is that right? I have tried to get back to s=off without any luck.
I would appreciate ANY help. Thank you.

The file you are trying to load is a radio file. You cant flash a new radio unless you have S=off. Second, how and why are you trying to flash a new radio?
I don't know. I've read a bunch of guides and I think I'm totally confused now.
What do I need to do as step 1 in this situation? If its to get my device back to s=off, I can't figure it out. It was s=off, then I accidentily made it s=on.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
I remember someone else doing something similar in this thread. The thread gets a little confusing as someone else jumps in with a problem and you have 4 people talking back and forth. Read the whole thing to make sure it's identical to your problem. Something on page 4 fixed resolved one of their issues.

what you should have done was revert back to the stock radio before flashing the stock PD15IMG. since you have the updated radio, when you flashed the PD15IMG it turned your security on and flashed the stock hboot, but since youre on the updated radio you now have a radio lockout. this happened to me and I never got mine fixed, tried every method possible, so I just bricked it. KOLOHE got his fixed, try the methods he did since youre pretty much in the same boat. post back with your results...
ps- there should be a sticky made or something of the sort stating that you should be on the stock radio before trying to flash the stock PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M
I just read your thread... I have tried everything... no luck... I now have no access to the phone except bootloader/recovery, meaning the only way to get my phone working again is through the .zip in the bootloader. I think I'm bricked

you cant even get into recovery? are you sure? thats weird....I was still able to get into recovery and flash roms and everything, but couldnt flash in hboot
If I just turn on my phone like normal now, it gets stuck at the very first screen (white "MyTouch 4G"). I can still access recovery, but that's it. I tried flashing CM7 7.0.3 and when I reboot, still white "MyTouch 4G" screen...

the thing is, since you were on virtuous fusion the kernel from that rom will stick to every other rom (dont ask, I have no idea why lol). try flashing virtuous in recovery, that should work. since the kernel from the rom is sticking, you can only flash roms that are compatible with the kernel. you should still have total root access, but your r/w should be disabled because of the radio issue. only downsides to the problem...
Ok- so once I flash virtuous back... I'm still unable to ultimately get back to flash... correct? Thanks.
If I'm sending this phone in to T-Mobile for warranty exchange, I wonder if it will be better to put on virtuous (obviously non-stock rom), or leave it in a seemingly bricked state that only shows the "white MyTouch 4G" screen... What do you think? Thanks.

it will still say s=on and stock hboot, but you should still have root access when you flash virtuous. if you have tried all the methods in the other thread, then you are unfortunately out of luck...

they can still get into hboot and recovery to see that youre using clockwork

Maybe he will get lucky like others who have returned rooted devices, he might give it to a not so smart person . There's always the shock treatment too if you cant flash the phone back to stock, only if OP has something to send high volts to phone.

And people wonder why T-mobile is charging a processing fee now for doing warranty exchanges.
You think I should be able to put stock recovery back on in my situation?
Also, where can I find that panache leaked rom? I don't understand how that's supposed to fix my problem...?
I think I got it to work! I used the hex editing method and flashed the .zip file in bootloader at the end of completing the guide (.zip that was included in that thread) and everything seems to be working like stock!
When I try to go to recovery, I get that icon with a red exclamation mark (which I think is normal for completely stock phones..??).
The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is in bootloader, it says hboot version ..86 Besides that, everything seems 100% stock. Will that .86 be an issue? Thanks.

.86 is the stock bootloader. I'm glad you were able to fix it. I'm not sire about the red ! maybe someone else can answer it. So are you going to keep it and start all over again?
I think the red exclamation mark is normal. If memory serves me right, the recovery was not accessible on complete stock and if you try to go to it you get this red exclamation point (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
I need to send this phone in as a warranty replacement. So it seems MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Thanks for your help along the way!
