So i tried to wipe everything but when it reboots it still shows all my stuff that normally would be deleted from a wipe like all my texts, contacts, recent calls... i tried the odin thing and got the same results. the phone has voodoo on it but i cant remove it b.c i dont have cwm i really need help im about to crack this pos in half Thanks

Okay. So you had OCLF and Voodoo installed?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

i was rooted in the past then installed cwm and a voodoo this was like 3 weeks ago. Now he just downloaded OCLF and all he did was unroot it... so i smacked him and tried to do the OCR and it does not work. I put the phone into recovery and then wipe everything and it does nothing but remove all my apps and starts on the welcome to android where you would log in to your gmail and when i try that it doesnt work... i think i killed the phone

When it boots do you hear the robot voice?
good day.

no on that robot voice.

Is it safe to assume you don't have good nandroid (before mucking with the device) ? And is update.zip still on your sdcard?
good day.

You should be able to completely remove voodoo, then Odin to stock and re-root from there.

The touch screen doesn’t work properly on Desire
I got the HTC Desire with contract from UK Three mobile,It had a problem with touch screen, It worked normally but sometimes the touch screen didn’t work but it just sometimes. While the touch didn’t work I was difficulty to use with buttons and I couldn’t type on it. So, I sent it back to service centre to repair this problem. The service connect me, they couldn’t find any fault on it. I think the screen happens sometimes and they didn’t found at that time. Now I get my phone back and I still having problem. So I try to change firmware and now I already upgrade to Froyo (2.10.405.2) and think about problem in firmware. The new firmware work on it and it also have touch screen problem sometimes. The problem is so bad and sometime it is very difficulty to open @ (slide to unlock) screen. Please give me some help about my Desire. Thank you.

I should have read more carefully. Sorry.
Then I can assume you have tried to ODIN the CWM kernel and dropped the update.zip on your sd card?

[q] help needed for an bricked hd2

Hello everybody,
I have here an HTC HD2 (not mine) without Windows Mobile but with an darkstone SuperRAM 1.5 Fryoy ROM installed.
The original problem was that it produced the "android.process.acore" message.
After trying to remove the main Gmail account the phone gave some more trouble:
- when starting, the white screen with green HTC comes up BUT ONLY when connected to USB or charger. Even with full battery the white screen comes and go within 2-3 seconds.
- when the white screen works, I get an boot menu where I select no 2 Boot AD SD
- When booting I get on the left side the boot status in white letters with in red letters "SD initrd open failed" continued with more white text ending GO GO GO!
Seems to me something is missing on the SD card
Any help is welcome since I don't have any experience with HTC. I'm using Galaxy S with Darky ROM.
Thanks
Grz Mark

How do I do that?
I can't get into the phone itself (internal SD)

@ MTM
As I mentioned I have absolutely no experience with flashing HTC phones. Samsung gave no rpoblems.
So all terms used here are new for me And using Google is no option, much confusing and too many posts.
But the battery method gave no help. Now and then it works without USB/charger connected but most of the time not.

This is where it's going to get trickier.....NAND Android or SD card Android?
If this question made you wonder about life and the mere existence of the human race ...do me a favor....Do you like to read? I hope so because you are going to have to read a lot to learn the difference between these two types of Android ROMs.
Now if you know what I'm talking about...choose a Built or ROMD and by following the instructions..flash away either using NAND or SD card method.
Let me know if you have any questions concerning this post ASAP 'cause I'm about to leave for a couple of hours.

Hey there retro man all you need to do is a recovery. Turn the phone off then turn it back on but keep holding the power button down until MAGLDR comes up and use the volume up and down buttons to scroll up or down and look cor the recovery option. Use the send/call button to select and the end/power button to back out of any sub menu to get back to main menu. Select the recovery option and the Pbone will do a hard reset of the Andriod ROM.

@ T-macgnolia: I did the recovery many times but with no result.
@ MTM: I will try installing that NAND version you mentioned, it looks very nice. I'll keep you informed... THX

Sorry to hear the recovery did not work. It is odd to me it didn't but who knows. If you flash a new Andriod ROM it should fix the problem though. Keep us informed.

Well, I finally got it working
One very important thing is that I need Windows ActiveSync to get the HD2 connected to the PC. Even without WM installed on the phone you'll need it ...
CoreDroid is working fine now.
Thx for the help guys.

Could you not get it to use the USB flasher in MAGLDR to work or connect via USB in no kind of way using MAGLDR? If so I bet some how the drivers for MAGLDR never got installed properly to yiur USB port you were using.

Thanks for the reply, but I had recently uninstalled Sync, I restarted my pc, and now it's working.
Had everything working, when I tried to boot a ROM, it was stuck on the htc EVO 4G screen. I went into recovery and wiped everything. Now I'm definitely lost.

Bump, hope it's not bricked...

If you can boot into the white HTC screen, IT IS NOT BRICKED! Put your recovery so you can transfer another rom via usb to your sdcard, then flash a different rom after wiping everything!

It also helps to know what recovery you're using to flash. Depending on the rom amonra works better than clockwork. I use amonra but that's just my preference. Not getting past the white htc screen isn't that problematic, battery pull vol down+power. How long you sit on the htc screen depends on the rom, some roms take all day to boot on that first one and you need to just let it sit and not panic. Some roms just don't work on some phones. I love Evolved's work but I could not get his "Directors Cut" rom to get past the white htc screen but my guy has the same hardware as I do and his booted right up. To me there is no perfect rom, it's the rom that's perfect for you. We're all different people and like different things. Happy flashing.
p.s.- Just make sure you do the usual wipes before flashing alot of devs also have a format zip that you should use as well. It really doesn't matter which one. Used them all and don't really have a preference to either of them.

Assumptions: You have a custom recovery installed.
With the phone powered off, press the power button and volume up at the same time. Select recovery. Hook your phone up to your computer. In recovery, select "mount usb storage". Copy whatever ROM you want onto your phone. Unmount usb storage. Flash the ROM just you just copied over in recovery.

Thank you so much! it worked!

[Q] Challengings for Brain users like me!

Hi guys,
First of all, i apologize if I post in a wrong forum, kind of new in XDA. Wanted to thank you all, because, even though, I didn't register, your forum helps me A LOT with android phones... I'm facing a situation with an HTC, and as I surfed the web, and no one seems to have the same problem, I'm adressing it in this forum.
I bought an refurbished mytouch 4g glacier on amazon. When it came, in addition to be locked (not a big problem), I couldn't enter the settings (the linked program is no longer installed on your phone) and worst, there is no dialpad. I assumed that the owner tried to flash it with a corrupt version...
As it is for me a brain challenge, i decided to try to fix it...
I made a factory reset with the buttons (pwr+vol down), same thing! I tried recovery, I think with the S-ON, it didn't work (red triangle). I tried to use wifi to download things or a file manager, but you'll need to access the settings options, and I don't have access. I download SDK manager, but the phone needs to be usb debugging to be found by pc, and I can't access the settings options. I download an usb debugging apk, put it in the sd card, but as there is no file explorer, I could access it...
This is why I asked your help. This is a Glacier pvt ship s-on, with green fonts, (cyanogen 7?: there were a difference with green fonts and orange fonts...)
Thanks in advance.

Try flashing PD15IMG in bootloader.

Ditto. If you don't know whether the phone is rooted, I would just flash the PD15IMG of the stock 2.3.4 ROM by loading the file onto the root of the SD card and booting into the bootloader (volume down + power). Then if after you are sure it works you want to root it, you can always go on from there.
In terms of figuring out which ROM you have, since you can't get to the 'about phone', if your boot animation just has the Tmobile MyTouch 4g logo on a white background, followed by a circular green MyTouch logo, then you are probably on the stock ROM. If it was CM7 or anything else, it would usually have a different custom boot animation.
Good luck!

You can also tell which stock version you are running: 2.2.1 has no quick settings tab in the notification drawer while 2.3.4 does.

Thank you for your quick answer... I have already done this 5 days ago. I downloaded the PD15img, put it in the sd card (actually, i didn't know which extension to put in the sd card, so i unzip the file and i let the zip one: i put both in the sd assuming the phone will use the best extension it needs!). I use pwr+ vol down, nothing happen.
Any ideas? Maybe if i found an update version of the pd15img?
Thanks for your help

Guys, I'm blessed...Not because I found the solution yet, but because I found you thinking with me!
It seems I have the 2.3.4, because, as you said, I have the quick drawer icon. I have already try the bootloader, but i will try again from the beginning. I will download again the pd15img (if it was a problem while downloading) and revert to you in 2 hours.
Thank you again!

It should be a file named PD15IMG.zip. Any file by that name placed in the root of the sd card will be flashed through the hboot bootloader. Don't unzip it. If it is named exactly that, when you boot into the bootloader via vol down + power, it should scan for it, and if it detects the file, it will ask if you want to update.
Be sure you are using the right PD15IMG.zip file (2.3.4 Stock). There are a lot of files by that name, since it is used to flash all kinds of things (radios, etc.). Looks like it might be available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476745&highlight=pd15img&page=10

I do have the Tmobile MyTouch 4g logo on a white background, followed by a circular green MyTouch logo. I'm on the stock rom then? Is that make any difference or I can still process with downloading pd15img? Anyway, that's worth the try!
I'll keep you posted

It does sound like you are definitely on stock 2.3.4 since you have the stock boot animation, and the notification bar quick drawer that was introduced with gingerbread 2.3.4.
It only makes a difference if you aren't rooted. If you weren't rooted and flashed a different ROM it probably wouldn't work, and you could get stuck in a boot loop (couldn't get past the hboot menu). But, the fix would be to flash the stock PD15IMG anyway, so you should be fine. Either way, nothing is going to happen unless you flash something, because it sounds like system files have been deleted.
I'm still kind of a noob, but I feel pretty confident with that. I've messed up before and recovered from hboot with a PD15IMG file. Your hboot and recovery sound like they are stock. Just be sure once you have it working that you remove or rename the PD15IMG file from your sdcard, otherwise it will keep trying to flash it when you boot into the bootloader.

one person suggested making sure the sd card is FAT32 formatted, seemed to help his issue.
Also, you might want to be sure that even if it gives you that error message, there isn't a loading bar on the right hand side of the screen making progress. If I recall the last time I did it, it wasn't obvious it had worked, and loaded for a few minutes before popping up with 'do you want to update?'

Did you try both the 2.3.4 and the '2.3.4 new' file found on the aforementioned page?

Good and bad news!!!
The good news: It really makes a difference indeed to format the sd in Fat32. Although i formated it many times, as I used to see FAT, I didn't know there were another option for FAT32. Well, after format it in FAT32, i put the file in the sd card: pd15img loads successfully...
Bad news: I hurrily check if I can access the option: "the linked program is no longer installed on your phone".
At least, we know formating sd card in FAT32 does make a difference!.
Maybe I should try another new rom like 2.3.6?
Any ideas is welcomed!
Thank you

Wow, head scratcher. If you were rooted with a custom recovery I'd say you probably need to format the system partition and wipe data and cache before flashing, but obviously you can't do that. Might be worth trying a few times to force it through?
I think this is out of my league at this point. Hopefully someone smarter than me will pop in!
Only other thought is maybe something can be done through fastboot? But I wouldn't know what.

Is that because S is on?

Thank you a lot for your help. It's been useful cause I learned a lot, much more than alone. If I get through this, I will post.
My next thinking is to download USB debug apk into the phone, so maybe, it will enable the option and I could use adb. But in order to do that, i should pay to unlock it...(wondering if it worth it). As soon as i put a sim in it, i know my carrier would install the apn settings for me automatically, so i would be online and be able to download. I try the wifi options, but i couldn't connect.
Could you help me with the unlock?
Thanks in advance

I think that recovery file is for 2.2.1......
Get S-Off bro. Doesn't the stock image have a file explorer? I don't remember.
