So my phone just died on me today. It's turned on, but the screen is blank. I can't see anything, the signs on the bottom (home, menu, back, search) area all bright, but pressing them doesn't help either. I've pulled out the battery the sim etc, but nothing. It'll ring if somebody calls/texts/emails but I won't know who the caller is. I can't even pick up the phone unless I've the original headphone on (by pressing the play button) and ofcourse can't make any phone calls either.
I live in Canada, and can't return it to Tmobile, since I bought it used from USA this year. This phone was bought in Oct last year by original owner so still under htc warranty.
I called htc today and they took down my address and credit card number and asked me to ship the phone to them since it's still under warranty. However I rooted this phone with s-off back in January, so I'm not sure if they'll find out. If they do they will charge me up to $39 for diagnosing the problem.
I tried going to recovery mode by holding volume down button and pressing power, but still blank screen. Is there anyway to un root it?
Do you guys think I should send it in for repair/exchange? Any advice on this will be appreciated. Thanks

If you can't fix it brick it for sure.
I'm gonna assume the phone is still working and able to access h boot and u just can't see the screen
Before you do this I recommend you to do everything you can to fix it.
Did you flash the hboot engineer?
Can you connect to your comp and access fastboot?
If you can't...welll then if I were u ill put a radio on sd card name it pc10img then click voulme up(assuming its flashing radio) (in hboot btw). Then pull out the battery to brick it completely.
well that's just my opinion

What's hboot engineer?
I tried to access the phone and memory card by connecting to computer, but can't access it.
How can I put a radio on sd card when I can't access the drive? Is there a way to do it? And last, how does bricking it completely helps? Thanks
Does anybody know if it's a problem with the screen or something to do with the software? I've been able to hear the beeps while dialing random numbers after pressing talk/dial number (not that I could see what I was pressing), so I'm guessing it's the screen, but not sure.
Can somebody tell me using their G2 that after you connect it to your computer, approximately how low on the screen is the option to access the memory/phone drive? I remember that the first option was "Charge only" but can't remember the rest of them and their order.

s-off is probably what I meant. It was a while ago that I did it using the instructions on xda so don't remember the details.
Bump!!!!!! So what other steps can be taken to fix this if any at all?
Mine did exactly the same, I took a gamble on the screen being broken and bought one off ebay - fixed it immediately.

Because they might check the phone for possible rooting and etc. And by completely bricking the phone they can't check if you rooted the phone or not and its caused by running custom romm

Well first to see if you can still fix the phone download sdk. and install it.
Then download the proper drivers for your phone. If your too lazy just go to htc website and download htc sync. It will download the drivers.
Next I'm guessing you didn't flash the hboot engineer?
Its in android develop section rooting thread. Gscrpit no adb needed something like that.
Idk if fastboot will still work or not though if yoh didn't flash the hboot engineer, I'm not sure x.x
You can still try. After install all the proper drivers and everything.
Now pull out battery to make sure ur phone is off. Put it back in click volume down and power button. Plug it in to computer
Open up adb and type in adb devices. If you get serial numbers of your phone then u can flash other rom using adb.
If not then well...its bricked.
put ur sd card on other phone or use sdcard adapter to move the radio on your sd card then put it back in your phone
Let me know if you need any help

Thanks for all your input.
I got the SDK from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
And then I also downloaded the htc sync.
However, I tried to search "Gscrpit no adb needed" but couldn't find anything.
In the link i posted above, there are two methods for installing ADB on windows, one is complete (seems very complicated) and other one is Quick way (without ADB). Does it matter which one I choose? I'm guessing the purpose of installing ABD on computer is to install a new rom in it, am I correct?

But if it's completely bricked, then how come I can still receive phone calls using my htc head phone? Also I thought bricking usually happens during the process of rooting the phone, however, this phone was rooted 4 months ago and had been working fine since then.
Edited!!!!!!!!!
Good news. I figured it out and ran adb and I'm able to see my device. Now big question how do I flash a new ROM or the stock ROM using ADB?

I need to get 100% back to stock. I have already installed an unrooted (original) rom, but need a way to get my recovery back to stock. My phone has a broken usb port, and needs to be sent in for repair. I do not want them to find out I have rooted my phone. How can I do this? I just tried flash rec(with stock recovery), but it says flash failed every time.
Am I just screwed? Is it possible to do this via on-phone terminal? Thanks.
On older android devices you could sd card flash in emergency mode. You should google it, I used it on my g1 and mytouch long ago. If thats not working I think you are all out of options.

You can use the HERCIMG.zip from the 2.1 RUU and put it on the SD then boot into hboot, that is the equivalent of the RUU.

Put the HERCIMG.zip on your sd, email or bluetooth, but it has to be in the root of your sd (if it isn't, go into termimal emu and run "su [enter] mv [directory] /sdcard [enter]) then, shut the phone off, boot it into hboot by holding power and volume down. you will see skateboarding droids, then a progress bar. your phone is now ruu-ing.

Hello,
I have a friends who has a HTC Desire Z phone.
He has told me that he received and attempted to install an OTA update.
After installing the update, the phone's screen doesn't come on. Ever.
The key lights come on fine and the phone charges like normal when you plug it in and the phone is also recognised by my computer, although not in HTC Sync for some reason.
I've looked at some of the HTC Desire threads that explain similar problems to the one my friend is having, but they don't seem to work for me because they mention using HTC Sync, which I can't use.
Is there any advice you could possibly provide to get it fixed?
Thanks
Roz
--UPDATE--
Tried using a RUU to possibly change the firmware back to a compatible version, but all the version I've downloaded so far are giving me an error.

If u can use adb to access the phone u should try to use pneuter exploit. Look up the downgrade thread on development subforum. After that u can apply the older rom, and see if it helps.
But might be a hard time to use the hboot menu with no screen...

The phone isn't showing up in "adb devices" list, so I'm assuming I can't access it.
Do you have the eng hboot ? If so, you might be able to do something with fastboot.
Or alternatively you could try flashing a stock RUU image from your PC.

I've been trying to flash a stock RUU image from my PC.
Problem is....most of the images I've come up against are giving me Customer ID errors.
Is it possible you can give me a RUU that will actually work.
So far, the only one I've tried that "worked" is 1.72.405.2 but that's the one that caused the screen to be all screwy.

If the phone in question is not rooted, and still under warranty, why not turn it in for a new one or repair since you were simply trying to do an allowed update? Just a thought.

Out of nowhere, my perfectly working unrooted desire hd heated up and thne went into a non stop restart loop. It wont even shut down. Just restart every time and get heating up.
I took the battery out, placed it back in and now it wont start. Tried the hardware factory reset. Factory reset happneed the phone started and again went into the restart loop heating up
NO power problems, no droppage no nothing.
What is this? please some one help.
Thats a new one.
Is the heat from the battery or the handset?
Do you have a branded handset or was it stock HTC?
HTC one. not branded.
Funny just been 3 months. The heat actually was from the set. Absolutely nothing wrong before it. I am not a fancy cell person, so no fancy things in it either.'
It gave me a force close on messages. Then it deleted my messages automatically, and then it went into this crazy restart loop getting heated up more and more..
the rest i already mentioned.
Is it DEAD?
I wouldn't say it was dead yet.
Do you know what your HTC Firmware was or your Android Version?
It was froyo. Did not do the gingerbread update yet.
Sense was 2.0
Ok,
Could you download the latest HTC firmware (Gingerbread) from HERE.
Once downloaded, remove the battery, reinsert. Plug into your computer, but don't turn the phone on. You should get the orange charging light. Now run the RUU.exe file and follow the prompts.
Ok. but what is your thought process on this?
also i had the winmo ruu. Can u give the link for ruu u mentioned in your reply?
EDIT: Got the ruu clear.
My thoughts is to upgrade your handset to the latest firmware. In the process of upgrading your handset will be completely wiped. And it should fix your problem.
If it still fails to work, there maybe a bigger underlying cause to your issue.

You said your phone is unrooted right? So, maybe installing the RUU will not succeded as ID wrong alarm will appear.
You need to root first which you need to turn ON your dead phone which i think impossible. Therefore the only solution is to return back to HTC for repairing. Unroot should still under warranty.
Doesn't the wrong id alarm appear only if you're trying to apply a wrong RUU? (For example T-Mobile RUU to an Orange phone)
What I would do if I had unrooted stock DHD without custom recovery that has problems is to send it for repair under warranty. If you didn't do anything that would void the warranty, don't do it now.

his name is yahya.hamid..i guest his from asia or arabic which i also guess his phone must be asia or arabic version..thats why i think he can not install wwe version without root..just my guess, which i'm maybe wrong
Well thANKS ALL for your concern.
Its the WWE version. Factory unlocked. not rooted. I dont have SPL or Hard SPL on it.
Its like brand new.
Yes i can goto the boot loader screen. If i switch the phone on after atleast 12 hours, it switches on...gets immediately into heating and restart loop. goes dead.
then it wont start again until 12 to 13 hours.
Not a battery issue since i replaced it.
Now shall i go for the ruu gingerbread or should i simply contact htc ( which btw is not in the country that i live and i will have to wait till i make the trip aBroad)
I'd flash the gingerbread RUU I posted first. It's the official HTC update so don't worry about voiding you warranty.
Like I mentioned previously, ensure your handset is completely off, plug into your computer, wait for the orange charging LED then run the RUU.
If your problem still persists then a HTC repair is your only remaining option.

@torsrex - That was my backup Plan B should the RUU not work.
I have the ever failing what it seems like my touch 4g. I dont have it rooted nor do i want it (unless need be). I was using my phone then put it on the charger, i went to use it again but it wouldnt turn the screen on to unlock. I did a battery pull, yet it just stuck to the mytouch 4g boot screen. what do i do to get it back? I looked at the forums and found similar articles, but none like mine. is there a way to do it without rooting my phone?
Use ruu pd15img file, you can find instruction about it all over the forum I believe. Note this is a factory reset so your data will be erased. Hopefully your contacts are synced by gmail.

Do you have a card adapter and a card reader, if so pull your card out of the phone and put it in the adapter then put it in the card reader once your computer sees it copy the file you downloaded and paste it on that card make sure you rename it PD15IMG then when you put your phone into hboot it should read it then it should ask to update
so far its saying fail-pu on everything. is that a bad sign that i may have a brick?
its been on Radio V2 for the past 30 min say updateing. is that normal?

well it has to do something with the bad chip, i never had this problem myself so i'm not really sure on the details of it. but maybe you can find answers in this this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079025 it's about rooting but it explains your problem too.
Anyways from what I know is that your phone should still be under HTC warranty. you should try contact HTC and try to get a replacement. Even though you're not under tmobile the phone should technically still be under warranty as it's not even a year old... i think.. but doesn't hurt to try

Fail-PU means failed partition update, meaning your eMMC chip died, meaning that you are indeed bricked.
you could try another download of PD151IMG and see if it works.
you didn't root or anything? wow, another failed eMMC chip without root...
I have a basic question,
I'm only asking because there's far too much
information available,
on here
and its not easy to find what best fits my
needs.
I have an unlocked A3335 wildfire ( Telstra NextG network 3g version), I'm using it on optus,
my boyfriend was useing it he dowloaded a
font change app for the phone,
but when he did it my phone went in to
bootloop mode.and keep't bootlooping again
and again
all i get is the start up screen,
with yes you guessed it
(Telstra NextG network 3g crap)
All I want to do is try and get my phone from
this bootloop mode and try and recover...
my phone back to how it was.
Its hard to explain,
ok when i go in to the boot screen
i have this on my phone
BUZZ PVT SHIP S- Off
HBOOT-1.01.0002
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-3.35.20.10
DEC 27 2010,
17:49:10
and it reads the sd card,
it said the Boot Image. is missing
dont know why a app would take this out
but this is what happen
So Now when i did the fastboot on my phone
it done nothing,
then did the clear storge.
then i did the recovery
it rebooted to a black screen with A
triangle shape with one of these things
! in the middle of it,
but still stuck
I can follow the regular guides for rooting,
can any one help me to get my phone back to
how it was please
And I really don't care about this part much,
but would be nice to have it off the phone
and remove all the telstra junk and restore
the phone back to how HTC would ship it,
(all the junk apps they include could easily be optionally installed from marketplace if you want their crap...)
(obviously I'm in Australia also)
There are so many ROMS and options available,
including the ones from shipped roms
(it wont let me post the link because I'm new).
I just want my phone back to how i got it,
can any one help me please....
please send me a private messages,
with a step by step guide to do so thanks..
Since you are s-off u can use fastboot flash from windows to flash a clockwork mod recovery. After you do that, every thing will be simple. Just download a rom in zip format,put it to sd go to recovery( just do what you have done to see the triangle in blackscreen. Note that if u flash cwm you will no longer see that triangle). Then use your volume down button to reach install zip from SD card. Hit it with joystick press. Choose zip. Install it. Just do a data- factory resetting before you install zip.
I prefer cyanogen mod 7. U may use latest stable or nightly build. Feel free to post any doubt you have. We are happy to help you.

nope that gold card image will send to ur email..and u need to copy that gold card image to ur sd card...
Well if the hboot is 1.01.0002 with S-OFF then it must be done using xtc clip. So fastboot flashing shouldn't be working. And u don't need a gold card for S-OFF wildfire .
I would just suggest to flash a stock froyo WWE RUU which also removes the carrier bloatware. If ruu proccess gives errors u can copy the romzip from that ruu and use it with pc49img process from hboot menu. And ofcourse fat32 memory card is must for pc49img process

Hey can you explain what happened now? You said that yours is working now before 2 days. ( in second last post). So what happened now? What have you tried with your phone?
And...
So the gold card question, let me explain.
Gold card is just a patch tool, with the help of which you can unlock HTC boot loader , or in detail, you can unlock HTC 's boot loader protection(that's what we call as s-off) , which is commenly locked( that's we call as s-on) , for a user mode phone( a phone that is for sale to normal user), and it is done so because a normal user never need a root permission, over clocking etc. Also user defined kernal,rom,radio updates unless HTC provide them with updates.( and of cource to protect their device and its custom os made by HTC.
So being an s-off device, we can say in simple, unleash the potential of android.( that's what i said, make the device yours and not HTC 's).
And s-off. In can be done using many ways, find them in topic " complete wildfire index " , one of which is using goldcard method. It is also explained in topic/ stickies " downgrade hboot to xxxx". You can download an attached file called buzz downgrade from that topic, and its what you all need.
And about ruu flashing, i think its not a safe one for you, Coz your phone is a3335? Right? If so, original ruu flashing may cause problems with network( called as radio problems), so you can use custom/ safe ruu, instead. Which contains no radio image, check " complete wildfire index" else go for custom os like cm7.
But before all you should mention what you need.
1) r u trying to put custom os, or do you need original os?
2) do you want your phone to be a true android gadget, or just normal phone which is provided by HTC?
3) what kind of user r u? Normal user or a tech junky?
4) r u satisfied with android 2.2 or need 2.3?
Get us the answers, along with your current boot menu( where you find recovery option) details. So that we can help you properly.
That's all dude. Its 2.30 am here in India, so i should wish myself a good night, swtdrmz. Cu ltr.

Oops. Completely missed that point, sorry.
But since the phone is S-OFF one can just flash the system.img and boot.img alone from wwe ruu to remove the carrier bloat and to continue on the HTC stock rom (only if u wish to). Same pc49img process here but with only system.img and boot.img along with android-info.txt .

now im lost where do i fine the right one to use do you know how many there are out there this phone is doing my head in i try to flash the system.img and the boot.img and a stock rom and still nothing im ready to give up to be honest
Have you installed clockwork mod recovery? If not do it first. Use fastboot flash from windows or linux, then download latest cyanogen mod nightly and put it in your sd. Then use install zip option from cwm recovery to install cm7. Done. Its what you want. No radio harm will be done unless you flash a radio using any methods.
All info will be available on thread" complete wild fire index" in this forum. Tools, recovery, how to, rom, and every thing else are available in that thread.

No expert but looks like you have an empty sdcard and system.I think you need to get a rom onto your sdcard (cm7 good choice) and then through recovery apply the rom. Zip and reboot after. DONT DO A WIPE.the telestra screen is just a splash screen which will always load before the system searches for data to load,next would be boot loading screen but yours by the looks and sounds of things does not achieve!! Probably cos its not present due to not having a rom installed.hope I helped if not best of luck. Members are very helpful here and cos you can access hboot I am 99% sure this will be fixed for you.

i have a rom on my sd card but the thing keeps saying FAILED? NO SUCH FILE FOUND ?
Download this: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe
Enter HBOOT.
Wait until it finishes trying to load a zip file.
Choose FASTBOOT to enter FASTBOOT USB mode.
Run the downloaded file.
It should then install the original HTC rom.
Or maybe try PC49IMG method if you haven't already?
On your PC click start and type in the search box %temp%,
Keep your eye on this folder and doubleclick your ruu, a new folder should appear in temp folder,
Open it and search for rom.zip,
Copy it to your desktop and rename it to PC49IMG.zip then copy to your SD card and boot into hboot, it should find the zip and install.

@scratches post. I couldn't remember the method but that's exactly how I got my ruu to install so I could revolutionize.
