Hi,
I downgraded my htc desire hd and attempted to root through visionary+ tool…i did the following
Downgraded to official firmware PD98IMG.zip
All was working fine
I installed visionary+ and temp rooted
i then attempted to perm rooted, my phone restarted and then got stuck at the htc logo screen….
I have tried reflasing the official firmware but it keeps getting stuck on the htc logo screen. Any help? Thanks
Can you boot directly to the bootloader? Vol down + Power.
Yep i can get there, however when i click recovery from there it goes straight to the htc logo screen..and if i place the rom on the sd card it flashes the phone but when it reboots it gets stuck once again
In that case download the 1.32.~ RUU.exe and run that.
Hi, I am new to rooting and have only got as far as downgrading my firmware...what do you mean by download the 1.32 ruu.exe? Sorry
If you click the link in my sig and head to RUU's, you'll find 1.32.405.6 download that and run the exe. It will reflash your phone for you, just follow the prompts.
What state does my phone need to be in before running the exe? Also currently my laptop running windows 7 does not recognise my phone, i have htc sync 3.0 installed but it still doesnt recognise it....
Switched on is enough for the exe. You need to have the correct drivers for it to work.
Is your windows 7 machine 64bit?
No i am not using windows 7 64bit...i was able to connect to my desire hd via htc sync before all these issues however
Ok, I'm running out of idea's. I don't think the .exe will work until you handset is on.
Do you have the Android SDK installed on your machine?
Hi yes i have it installed...i think it is looking for android 1.0 driver but it cant find it and i cant find it on there internet...
Mine also does that whilst in the bootloader, once I'm in fastboot I'm ok.
Do you still have ENG S-OFF?
I got it to connect....i am now running the ruu....will update when it is done. Thank you so much for your help so far...
I just ran the ruu...i think it is stuck at the htc logo screen once again..its been there for about 10mins???
That's not good. I'm guessing that the PD98IMG.zip nuked your S-OFF?
Accoring to the bootloader menu it says s-on...
Ok, not sure how to progress here. Your DHD has a fault somewhere, as the PD98IMG.zip should work without any problems. Kinda like a fail-safe.
Other than contacting your network/HTC for a repair which should happen (S-ON etc...) you could try the latest Gingerbread RUU. You just have to extract the ROM.zip first (that's very easy).
Just to make sure...
i downloaded the ruu from you sig...
connected my desire hd
ran the ruu
it finished and my phone was flashed
is that right?
Is the latst gingerbread ruu for the desire hd on your site?
Yeah its on there. I'd recommend getting a repair over flashing it though.
I don't meet your problem, but I just did it yesterday with a golden card, so if you don't know what to do maybe you can try that.

I currently have the .6 software and I am trying to downgrade to .5 to root. I have been using various RUUs. Once I run it, all of them get stuck at the "waiting for bootloader" part and the black HTC screen is on the phone. What should I do?
Anyone, please?
bump.......

I have also created a gold card successfully, but im still unable to get to the bootloader screen while trying to downgrade
Try using this one, worked great for me.

Google "VirtualBox" and start reading.
Or, take the ROM.zip from the RUU and rename it HERC.zup and place it on the root of your SDcard, and flash using the stock Android recovery.
Or, enter all of the RUU commands by hand into ADB.
Your options are there.
Same problem
Same problem here. I have HTC Hero on Sprint. Ver. 2.1-update1 and can't root or downgrade. Anyone found a way to do this yet?

Does 'unrevoked' work on the updated .6 firmware? I thought it did not.

I am running Windows 7 and had no problems going from .6 to .5 with the .5 RUU. Usually, it would run once, then error, I would exit RUU and start over and it always worked on the 2nd time. I have done it 3 different times with success on the 2nd run of the RUU every time.
Yeah, I rooted it on windows 7 and tested the downgrade on win7 and NEVER once had a problem. maybe it's because I'm using ultimate?
Don't know if I'm replying too late to this but if you right click on the wizard and select run as administrator, the wizrd runs and it lets you downgrade with no problems
Same problem here. I have HTC Hero on Sprint.
Ver. 2.1-update1
2.42.01.04.27 baseband
2.6.29.ba77cf03 kernal
2.31.651.7 software number
and can't root or downgrade to a version that is able to be rooted. Anyone found a way to do this yet?
Have you tried to boot the Hero into Fastboot mode?
Turn your phone off
Hold the VOLUME UP button while turning your phone back on
Start the RUU
That makes it work for me.
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
Yesterday I tried to root my legend to flash a custom rom (CyanogenMod 7).
Everything worked fine until I decided I also wanted to flash an unsigned Data2Ext zip.
So I first Wiped everything, then flashed CM7 ( successful ) and then tried to flash Data2Ext.
This didn't work (I think the error was something like "no signature").
After that I quit the recovery mode and my legend was stuck in a boot loop. Also, when connecting my legend to the pc and trying to get into recovery mode, my Legend was recognized as being "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM". Windows tries to install drivers but unsuccesful, so I can't get into recovery mode anymore.
The only solution I found to get out of the boot loop was to unroot my Legend again. (Using this guide )
However, I still can't get into recovery mode for the same reason (and thus can't root my Legend anymore).
Also, when connecting my legend with the pc when already booted (I'm back to htc sense android 2.1), it doesn't let me get a good usb connection. My phone is charging, but windows says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it".
I think these problems might be related, but the first problem is my main concern, as I want to flash a custom rom again.
I've used many search terms, but could not find an answer that would solve my problems. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Note: I don't have root access anymore and am running Windows XP.
Also, the rest of my phone's functions is working correctly it seems.
Hi!
First I would try to install some FOTA, since you obviously can't install anything else... you might look to Shipped ROMs...
(don't install Froyo if you can, you'd probably end up with HBOOT 1.01 which is not that easily rooted, but still can be done...)
As those are most probably properly signed, you should be able to flash them from SD card, so no USB connection needed...(choose LEGEIMG starting archives, .exe needs USB) - the filename to flash from SD must be legeimg.zip
That should fix your USB connection issues I hope...
Then I'd try to re-root (See stickies in Development)
I tried flashing a FOTA (LEGEIMG_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7
.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed.zip) but I think that's the one I already flashed using this topic. It reads the legeimg.zip but doesn't give me the option to update, so I guess they're the same?
For some reason I now also get the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" notification when trying to connect as USB Disk station to the computer, so not the "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it" error.
Edit: Now I get the malfunction error again..
Could the solution to my problem be to find the drivers for the Qualcomm thing? And if so, where can I find those?
Edit2: New development;
Legend now freezes completely when connecting to USB. I have to take out the battery to get it working again..
Edit3:
I've taken another look at the hboot screen and it gives me the following info:
LEGEND PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0000 <-- isn't that strange, since I'm running 1.31?
MICROP-0816
TOUCH PANEL-SYN07-0103
RADIO-7.05.35.26L
Nov 8 2010,15:24:15
Also, when I try to flash the 2.03 zip from here, it finds the legeimg.zip and asks me if I want to update. When I do so, it tells me "CID incorrect! Update Fail!"
Oh maan, I guess HBOOT-1.01 and 1.31 is not working out then...And since there's no way to downgrade HBOOT, you have to flash Froyo ROM...but to do that you need a goldcard: Here is a HowTo
Then you can flash a ROM with different CID then your own...
note: 2.03 is not Froyo, and since shipped-roms only has RUU, you might look into this: HowTo Extract RUU
And then you just ROOT again
Could the solution to my problem be to find the drivers for the Qualcomm thing? And if so, where can I find those?

Still no luck trying to create a goldcard, since the pc doesn't recognize my device, regardless what type of connection (charge-only, htc sync etc) I select. In windows 7 I also get the device malfunctioned error.
Trying to use the adb command only returns "No Device found" (or sth like that).

You mean you've rooted your Legend?
I am experiencing the exact same problem as you've described while trying desperately to root my HTC Legend.
I start up Fastboot, run Step1, then go into Bootloader (and also getting the same error message about the .zip file), then Recovery mode, and my computer (W7) recognizes the device at this point as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM, and fails to install the drivers.
When trying to run step2, I get an error message telling me "device not found".
I am also running 1.31 and Hboot 1.01.0000
Would really appreciate some help
I didn't really document my steps (I should have ), but I think the Qualcomm bug was fixed by following this guide.
Let me know if it works out for you.
Hello everyone!
First off I'd like to start by telling you I'm new here and I don't know much about rooting so I'm reffering to you for help... Here is what happened... I have a G2 Hero, running android 2.1. So one day I decided to root it and install a custom rom. I downloaded Universal Androot-1.6.2-beta5 and ran it on my mobile.
Afterwards I formatted my sd card then restarted the device and downloaded rom manager from the market and flashed Clockwork. After this I put CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1 in the root dir of my sd card, tried to install it from [HOME] + [PWR] buttons menu and an error saying [status 7] showed up... Now im stuck in an endless bootloop... I cannot sync the device with my computer, cannot hard reset.. I can access Hboot menu but there isnt anything I can do...
What should I do to restore it to stock and then try the whole thing again but with a new rom? Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
Have you tried running an official HTC RUU? They can be found in a thread on the development page
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
you have to search for "RUU for htc hero gsm". There's an official website for that. Download RUU (about 80-90mbytes as i remember) and start it. As i remember you should power your phone in HBOOT mode (VOL DOWN + POWER), connct to PC and run RUU and follow the wizard.
It will flash stock 1.5 android.
After reeboot it should inform you that there's an update, but if you want to flash different recovery, you shouldn't update your phone.
Then you should follow "How To - Root Your HTC Hero in One Click" (can't post links yet).
Ok first of all thank you guys for the help! So I downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDri ver.exe from the main thread. At first I had some connection problems but then I switched the front panel USB to one of the rear which are 2.0 and continued. Now I'm stuck at a later step. Tried to update it but an error message saying "ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR Please get the correct ROM UPDATE UTILITY and try again" displays. Which RUU would you recommend?
I used official RUU from htc.com site. It just worked for me.
This one is in Polish, but i believe, you will find one in your language or in English
http://www.htc.com/pl/supportdownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=671
//edit
You must provide a valid serial number from sticker behind the battery and select a corresponding file. It will be only one i think
//edit2
There's something more about this error 131:
http://androidforums.com/707610-post16.html
Apparently you just used wrong RUU... Try one from prev link.
Ok, soI downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver from the official HTC website and go past last error but afterwards I encounter another one. This time it is "ERROR[140] BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR, Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again"
Any suggestions this time?

You could try the carrier one if you got it from Orange flash the ruu which is for Orange uk
Nope, my phone is from Europe but I dont think I got my cd... I'll sure search for it. Any other suggestions?
Maybe you can find a workaround there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684504
I am currently trying with this one:RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver. But it seems to be stuck on "Sending.....Updating the ROM image on your Android phone" The progress bar on the phone's display is almost complete but wont move anymore. I have waited for 20 minutes now...
EDIT: I finally fixed it! I didn't realise I had to have the same RUU version like my software version. Thought I had to downgrade. Nevermind it's all OK now and it's time to try the whole rooting and custom ROM process again
I want to thank all of you guys that helped me!
Good for you man
Just out of pure couriosity, what rom will U use afrer your phone get rooted?
You have to use your carrier related stock rom/exe. What is your carrier?

I havent decided yet. It will definitely be some Android 2.2 ROM Maybe Elelinux Speedmachine.
Well firstly; I dont have a lot of experience in issues with my phone, though I do with other devices (like PSPs.) Unrooted, unmodified HTC Panache. It froze after installing an app from the Android Market. I removed the battery since nothing was working, after about 5 minutes. It started properly; I turned the display off. When I checked my phone later, it was stuck on the HTC splash screen. I replaced the battery and tried a soft reset; it's still stuck at the white HTC screen. The recovery menu works; but factory reset doesn't work; it just hangs indefinately (I've left it for about 15 minutes and nothing happened.)
I don't have anything like Clockworkmod or a backup; I haven't done much to my phone since I got it quite recently.
I've tried formatting my SD card to fat32 (if that does anything), backing up the data first, then moving it back. Didn't help.
Is there any way to do a factory reset without using ADB or such? I've done some research, but I couldn't find a solution.
Thanks in advance.
You could ADB push the stock froyo 2.2.1 PD15IMG.zip to /mnt/sdcard. Here is a guide to push it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642437
Or you could do the gingerbread ROM, whichever you wish! The downloads are in the dev section.

But of course you can. Did you read Panache rooting guide? It clearly states to flash MT4G 2.2.1 image. I know, because I suggested it.
But you can't flash it just like that, you'll need a goldcard and stuff. So it's irrelevant to the case.
To the OP:
You can do factory reset from bootloader. Boot into bootloader (VolDown pressed when powering on), select the option with volume buttons, press power to confirm. If I remember correctly, you don't need anything for that.
But your problem might be lying deeper.
Search the forum for "Panache RUU", download the huge .exe file, connect your phone to the computer and run.
If it works - you'll be back to stock Panache.
If it won't - your phone is dead.
You can read the troubleshooting guide for MT4G, link in Wiki in my signature, section "Troubleshooting". It'll explain the most probable reason for the failure.
Hello,
If I understand correctly your Panache is unrooted and stock?
And you got it recently?
You can try other suggestions but you could probably take it back to your store to exchange it too.
Which apps did you try to install?
Sent from my HTC Panache / CM7 using xda premium.
Wow, thanks for the help guys!
I'll be sure to try your suggestions.
Yes, my phone is stock, I haven't made any modifications.
I've tried factory reset from the bootloader; but it hangs at the bootloader screen.
Does anything that works for the MT4G also apply to the Panache? Since they're the same model.
Anyways, I'll try the RUU. Again thanks for the help; I'll post the result.
Troubleshooting guide is the same for both.
Alright, I've downloaded the RUU for Gingerbread. I entered fastboot from the recovery menu (i'm guessing that doesn't work?) and ran the RUU. It detected the phone successfully, but once I start the update it sticks on "Rebooting to bootloader." It's stayed here for 20 minutes and the display hasn't changed on the phone, nor do the volume buttons work to navigate through the menu. So I guess the RUU won't work.. or will it? I don't know what the issue really is.
Sorry for reviving an old thread but i am having the same problem with the phone of a friend. I get the HTC white screen and then nothing. I can boot in Bootloader but anything else then reboot or power down doesn't work, phone freezes . I am also having trouble connecting the phone to Win7, it can't find the drivers even if i installed SDK, and all the drivers packs that i could find around... I have no idea what she did with it, i am sure she didn't mod it, she has trouble programming the PVR....Any help would be appreciated.
There's a sticky thread at the top of the page, called "[Q&A] If you think your HTC Glacier is bricked, read this".
Well, read it.

You need to downgrade your device.
When you download AAHK, there is a manual inside it (the 'effin manual). Read it without skipping anything.
Inside the manual you can find instructions on downgrading your device. You need to do so before you can root on 2.3.5
If you are having problems booting your phone now, go back to stock ROM by doing the following:
Go into HBoot, then into fastboot.
Connect your DHD to your PC via USB.
Wait for the PC to recognize it.
Download this RUU: http://www.filefactory.com/file/cf9...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe
Run it as administrator and follow instructions
hi can you complete this step?
when my htc desire got into soft brick while I was trying to root, attn1 gave me this very same instruction so I got my phone running again on stock
I want to learn this in case my phone got stuck again at the HTC logo (after flashing the radio)
1. go to HBOOT
2. go to fast boot
3. plug device into computer and make sure it read FASTBOOT USB
then he told me something to run cmd prompt as admin and
adb something something, then asked the directory was where I put my PD98IMG (which was on my desktop)
sorry I can no longer remember so I am asking for your help.
can you complete the steps above so I can try rooting again. I know that If I get stuck I can push the stock rom again
I really want to root my device.
Maybe try what is written in this post: h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396253 (Sorry, cant post links properly yet.)
This has all of the instructions for being stuck at the hboot screen.
