Cant boot anymore

Hi folks, i'm looking for 2 days a way to solve my DHD problem:
It can't boot anymore. It pop up the "htc quietly brilliant" screen, play the boot sound and, start this step again, and again, and again...
So I'm googling a LOT about how to solve this, if exist a way to restore the original rom. Because i'm thinking that was the problem, my original rom is gone.
That happens when i try to install 3 softwares from appbrain, my device got freeze and i hit the power button to reset. So, after that, my device is gone.
So i came here, to ask you folks: There is a way to recover the original rom ? Without send to warranty (because it spend something like 1 month here).
I'm not a mobile hacker or something, i'm just trying to be happy with my device.
Thanks a lot and sorry for my poor english!!

Perhaps try booting to the bootloader, by holding Power + Volume down button. From there, you should be able to do a factory reset, which may or may not fix your problem. Worth a shot at least, imo

And if it does not work when you do a factory reset, you can use a rom.zip from HTC RUU to restore your phone.
Now the important thing is to know which HTC rom you are running. If it is unbranded, 1.72.405.3 is a sure shot. Download the RUU.exe from Stock roms thread in android development subforum, and run it. When the window pops up, open run prompt, and type: "%TEMP%". Then search for rom.zip, copy it to your desktop, rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put it to your SD card (I hope that you have a card reader). Then just reboot to bootloader as tmh described, and watch the magic happen
Then if your phone is branded, you can still use the same technique to make PD98IMG.zip, but you have to get the RUU that matches your branding. There are lots of RUUs in android development subforum, just search.

Hi guys,
thanks a lot for quik reply!
I perform the procedure indicated by tmh, but without lucky ;\
I think it is unbranded. I buy it at Portugal and i'm using at Brazil right now.
I'll perform your tip jkoljo.
I'll post a repply to let people know if it works or not.
Thanks a lot!!

Hope the advice the last guy gave helps , a factory re set may work fine and fix the issue. Iv had 3 dhd since the day of release , the second one I had wouldn't switch on, had it replaced by Vodafone . Not sure weather or not they will give you a new one . Hope u get it fixed

I'm not sure if i got cover from warranty.
Right now, my "PROOF OF PURCHASE" is at europe, and i'm at america, so i must get this work again by myself, or pay (some expensive value, i think) for htc support.
I found those ROM version:
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_163262_signed.exe 04-Jan-2011 12:41 285M Windows executable file
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe
but i'm not sure about "WWE". What it means?

the different is just the radio version. just try flash one of them and see if that work.

WWE means World Wide English, which is an international release
Any one of those RUUs you linked is ok, as hedayat7 already said.

WWE is World wide English...so both are english Roms...try the RUU flash, it should work like a dream....

Sorry ask for your help again, but at Official thread (thread number 841207) for DHD files, both 1.72.405.3 links are broken.
So i search for another thread, and found another one, but when i run the .exe, it ask for a USB connection to device, so it appears wrong.
Could you gimme a hand to find the correct file?
PS: I can help with a web hosting to all correct files.

You probably found the correct RUU, now proceed to %TEMP% and copy rom.zip to desktop.
You can find RUUs here: http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
I am not completely sure if those zip files are actual rom.zips, you can check that. Open up the zip, and if it has a long list of hboot, system, android-info.txt etc, then it is rom.zip and you can just go ahead and rename it to PD98IMG.zip.

But i did that.
The "1.72.405.3" files at this URL are broken (Or need password to access it, because "You don't have permission to access" message pop up).
When i run the RRU i got two screens, first i must accept a advice, the second one ask if I have a USB connection to my device. Even when i proceed to next step, i got no .zip file on my %TEMP%.
Im lost because of that lol
UPDATE: OK I FOUND IT! haha ty

Thanks a lot my friends,
but it doesn't work.
I perform the process for 2 different roms, and it doesn't work.
Still can't boot.
I'll sent for warranty and wait a loooong time..
But thanks a lot for help me with this!!

Ok, then there is something wrong in the device itself. You have to send it to a service center.

Hi again,
i keep a little hope that i can restore my phone, so i found a possible solution:
OTA update.
At "showthread.php?t=667728&page=2", i found a guy with the same problem i think, here is the quote:
Kinma said:
I had the same problem last week.
I suspected it had to do with the EXT3 partition.
Solved it by first flashing the OTA 2.2 ROM (for rooted users) as this does not use the EXT3. Then used Rom manager to recreate the EXT3.
Now all ROMs that use the EXT3 run fine!

(thanks Kinma for the feedback)
So, i start a search for OTA update file here, and found at "showthread.php?t=885996".
But when i choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip", i got INVALID OPERATION.
Someone have a tip for me about this?
Thanks (its very sad, but i must keep hope).

You are welcome.
What happened was that after a reboot of the phone the phone started rebooting in the boot sequence, i.e. a boot loop.
I tried a lot of things and nothing worked.
Finally I suspected that the problem might be with the SD card. I had a backup, so I had no problem doing a factory reset.
Then I booted the phone without the SD card.
The phone booted fine.
That way I was certain that the problem was with the SD card.
I had 2 partitions on the SD card, an EXT3 part and the rest was a normal Fat part.
I could still read the card, so I made a backup of all the data on the card.
Then I reformatted the card using windows.
The phone booted fine with an empty, reformatted, SD card.
Since I use Apps 2 SD, I had to recreate the EXT3 partition.
If your rom does not use this, you do not have to do this.
After recreating the EXT partition, put back all files that I want on my SD card.
My advice would be to do a factory reset and after that boot the phone without the SD card.
If the phone boots, you know the problem is with the card.
Hope that helps; good luck!

Hi folks,
boot without the SD card, doesn't work =(
I'm really without luck with this.
I do:
- Factory reset
- Clear cache and userdata
- Boot without SD or/and SIM cards
- Reflash RUU WWE 1.72.405.3 Radio 26.04.02.17_M2
- Reflash RRU WWE 1.72.405.3 Radio 26.04.02.17_M2 SF
- erase all SD
One show was use OTA update.zip, but at this step i got "invalid operation"
SO, nothing works!
Well, it appears a lost battle =\
thanks folks for all help.

Yeah, there must be something wrong in your device itself, for example a motherboard fault. Send it back to HTC.

How To: EB13 Froyo Download/Install and OTA!

- It has already been confirmed several times, the 2 files are EXACTLY the same (OTA and the 91.14mb file from samsung)
- Performing the update this way did not destroy any of my data, texts, applications, contacts, etc. Everything was exactly the same, except for the new version of Android. You must have a stock phone or the update most likely will not work.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"Force OTA"
UPDATE:: IF you cannot for whatever reason load the file to your SD Card, gmail yourself the link (below) and download it using Dolphin HD browser. I just confirmed it works on my phone, however, it does not work with the stock browser. Check the market for Dolphin HD, it's free. Client mode is set to desktop, which is under settings once in Dolphin HD. I was able to download the update.zip to the phone rather quickly over 4G Other browsers may work, I prefer that one though. Doesn't hurt to try. The stock one will not save the file, though will navigate to it.
As I first posted yesterday, there are [now 3] ways of downloading and installing the new EB13 Froyo release. If you have a Windows PC, there is a new utility that Samsung has released to flash the phone via PC. I personally couldn't get it to run on my Win 7 x64 laptop due to the enlarged font I run on my high-res laptop screen. Additionally, the 200MB file will wipe your phone completely clean. If you have a "trouble free" factory install of the current 2.1.1, the update method contained here is your best bet. Trouble free meaning that only bugs of the software are present. If you have issues above and beyond that of all other eclair users, you may want to completely wipe your phone.
The easiest and fastest method is to visit Samsung's Sprint Epic download page here http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SPH-D700ZKASPR and click the "Software" link (Manuals is the default landing page) and download the 91.14MB File labeled as for MAC OS. You will notice the much larger windows download (200MB) which is not needed, and may not work.
After you download the zip file, copy it over to your SD Card in your phone by either hooking it up and mounting it as you would normally do to copy files to your phone, or as I did, place the Micro SD card into an adapter and insert it into your computer. Copy the .zip file you downloaded onto the SD card; do not place it into any directory.
With your phone powered off, insert the SD Card back into the phone and replace the battery cover. Now, while holding both volume up and volume down rocker buttons (yes, you can push both at the same time), hold the camera button down as well and then press and hold the power on key. You will hold all 4 buttons on the phone until it boots into the flash menu.
Use the volume down button to scroll to..
"Apply SDcard: Update.Zip"
Push the Home key on the bottom of the phone and the update will commence.
Once it's complete, the phone may reboot into the menu again, at which time you select "Reboot" and hit the home key again.
The phone may reboot a few more times after it's first boot, and it may take a few minutes to fully get up and running. If it acts strange for a few minutes, this is normal.
Performing the update this way did not destroy any of my data, texts, applications, contacts, etc. Everything was exactly the same, except for the new version of Android. You must have a stock phone or the update most likely will not work. No ROMS, etc may be installed for the update to work. Before doing the update, go through your applications and uninstall anything you don't want / use.
You may also wait for the OTA update, but it will take a while to download, use up your battery, and you have to wait longer. It has already been confirmed several times, the 2 files are EXACTLY the same (OTA and the 91.14mb file from samsung) DO NOT waste time using a link to another file, there is no point and only risk in obtaining the file from somewhere else.
Before I began, I copied things off of my SD card that I wanted and performed a format on it. If you have apps installed on the SD Card, and you choose to do this, you may need to reinstall them. Once the update was complete, I copied the directories and files back to the SD Card.
(STICKY worthy!) No other post has this info immediately at hand.

Does this work on DK28 Froyo? Probably not, eh?

I am on all stock and have clockwork installed. I tried to do the update like you said here, but it aborts the install and says no error message. I downloaded from the link you provided. It says E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
Firmware version-2.1-update1

So is there something I am doing wrong?

This has been answered in one of those posts with several hundred replies (if I had the answer on-hand, I would post it). I kept the Epic stock to avoid any issues, so my update was rather simple. A few people have already had to reload their phones a couple of times before everything worked out.

DK28 wasn't official. The latest official release is DI18 - 2.1.1. This updates STOCK 2.1.1 ONLY.
I didn't care to fool with the phone originally due to not knowing the exact release date of froyo. It has been way over due, but I honestly didn't have any reason to mod. Froyo has enhanced the phone, but honestly doesn't provide anything new that would change the way I already use the device. GPS is faster to acquire in google maps, but in GPS Test, it was always fairly instant. It's also reports more accurate, reports being key, it wasn't ever off but by 20 feet anyway, which is about all you can expect on 3D accuracy.

I used the .exe file from Samsung website to flash my phone and works like a champ.
Now some minor quirks with Froyo but will address them in different threads.
Thanks for the help!!

[Q] About U8800V100R001C00B136

U8800V100R001C00B136(Overseas General version) is available at Huawei's downloadcenter. When I unzip that, there are two APPs in the dload folder, UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_CUST.APP
What is that CUST.APP, what does it include? Do I have to use that too when upgrading?
My current version seems to be U8800V100R001COOB136 with custom version CUSTC235D001 (Elisa-edition in Finland). Can I update my phone with that new package to get rid of extra applications?
Thanks, and sorry about stupid questions....

Hi, well to pinpoint out the most obvious. They included a pdf guide, have you given a quick look at it?
Simple steps.
1.Have clean SD card with a folder called dload and place everything in that folder. You must have at least 512MB free space after placing the files into SD card.
2.Turn off Phone.
3.Hold Volume down and up buttons, start the phone.
4.Wait, the phone will start upgrading firmware.
5.???
6.Profit !!!
Anyhow this should sum up the whole thing.
Don't forget to backup !

Thanks for the reply!
And yes, I read the pdf, actually twice
But now I still want to know what that UPDATE_CUST.APP contains (some Huawei-branded-extra-apps?), and do I have to install that too or can I remove it and use only UPDATE.APP....

yes u can skip UPDATE_CUST.APP and just upgrade with UPDATE.APP.. in this way ur current /cust/xxx/xxx/ folder will be kept intact..
that UPDATE_CUST.APP contains some extra apps that may or may not be useful to u.. though i have upgraded with the whole package, most of the cust apps were removed afterwards and i kept just 3 (Google Goggles, Huawei Input Method, and Swype Input Method)..

No problems in installation, everything worked fine after restart.
No more custom-apps/games
Some unnnecessary apps still available: Aldiko, Documents To Go, Hi Space...
Let's see if this works ok

When I go to huaweidevice.com and then downloads, I don't have the Build 136 to download, link anyone?

or
www dot huaweidevice dot com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=list&flay=software&directoryId=20&treeId=0#

Well, that "Overseas General version" did not work properly, calls end randomly, no idea how to fix that. Must use the original one...

Security update rollback [P8]

Hello people !
I have just one question about my Huawei P8 , becouse my phone was auto updated few weeks ago ( Google security update)
My build number is B397 and i have got Marshmallow 6.0 ( EMUI 4.0.3 now ) . . How to rollback to 4.0 EMUI ( i had that before )?
Please write steps
Thank you for answer,

Why do you want to go back?
Do you remember the build number (B???) for EMUI 4.0? You must know this, otherwise there'll be lots of trial & error.
What is your full 'Build number' in Settings > About phone? It'll be in this format or similar for a P8: GRA-xxxxCxxxBxxx.
If you have a GRA-L09C432 build, you should consider installing B398 as it's the latest: [Firmware] GRA-L09C432B398 firmware available through Firmware Finder

Ok, that's enough, but not guaranteed to get you back to EMUI 4.0 - worth a try anyway if you don't know for sure.
You can get B391 for your build number from this thread (install instructions lower down main post): [Firmware] Huawei P8 B391 - GRA-L09C432/GRA-UL10C432 (OTA/FULL) (2016-12-26), or better use the link below as that thread has many links & you could download the wrong one by mistake:
FULL update (1.64Gb): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G985/g104/v71319/f1/full/update.zip
Also, do a thorough backup before applying the update - this is for safety only (Huawei's free HiSuite works well for me).
NOTE: It's important that your phone is not-network branded for the above to install safely. If it's network-branded, during bootup the network's logo will display, & there may be network-related apps installed (also known as 'bloatware'). If yes, then do not install the above. Let us know & we'll try to find the correct one from your network (by the way, & to answer your pm, this has nothing to do with turning off / on your WiFi/4G connection or other mobile network. Network-branded only means the installed firmware is 'branded' by the network).
EDIT: Sorry, from the screenshot posted by the op (DrunphO) in the above thread, this update will get you back to EMUI 4.0.1
Never mind, even last year's B370 (June2016) had EMUI 4.0.1: Huawei P8 Official Marshmallow 6.0 [EMUI4.0.1] GRA-L09C B370 Eur Full [no wipe], so B391 should do

Ok, here's an install guide for you:
1. Before any update/rollback, make a thorough phone backup if necessary & for safety reasons. I use Huawei's free HiSuite PC program for this
2. Ensure your phone has at least 50% battery remaining
3. Download the FULL version zipped update file using your computer or similar system (preferred)
4. Unzip the downloaded file to Update.app & copy this Update.app file only to your external microSD card/dload folder (create a new folder called dload in the root of the microSD card if it doesn't already exist)
5. Disconnect the phone from your computer
6. Using your phone's dialler, enter *#*#2846579#*#* to access the ProjectMenu
7. Go to Software Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade and confirm the update installation
8. Wait for the phone to update & reboot itself automatically - do not interrupt the process or switch-off the phone during this time.
About 'network-branded' - this has nothing to do with switching on/off your mobile data/WiFi connection, so do not do this. It only means the installed firmware on your phone is 'branded' (specially made) by the mobile network company you bought the phone from.
What country are you from by the way, & your mother tongue (language)?

As I mentioned in step 4, have you copied the Update.app file to the correct path: microSD card/dload folder? (It really doesn't make any difference if you also include the Meta-inf folder, but it's not required.)
Also, make sure to disconnect the USB cable connected to the computer before running the update.
If you've done all the above correctly, & it still doesn't work, your download or Update.app file could be corrupt - check the MD5 checksum value of these files.
Untouched, zipped B391 download MD5 should be: 6B2CBEFAB63B1D9068083B3C29FD0B52
Unzipped to Update.app file only MD5 should be: 0263F76F12699B93F98FEAEB5479DE94
Use the free HashTab to check their MD5 values. If you need to know how to use, here's a simple tutorial: HashTab verifies the integrity of your downloads
If the MD5 values don't match exactly, do not try installing again as you'll get the same problem or a corrupt install/bricked phone.
Instead, download the B391 update again from the link I provided & check their MD5 values as applicable - if they match exactly, try to install again using the same method.

Hi again, just to confirm the Update.app file was in the external SDcard/dload folder - see the pic enclosed.
Well, before you checked with B390, I thought there may be something wrong with B391, but it installed ok for me (I was on B398 previously) - see the other pic enclosed.
-----------
- Where did you buy the phone from?
- Did you buy it new or secondhand?
- If you bought it brand new, can you contact the company who sold it to you to ask if it is network-branded?
- Did it always have a C432 firmware build?
- What is the model number on the rear/back, lower part of the phone: GRA-xxxx?
- Is the phone rooted?
- Does the IMEI info check out correctly for a P8 GRA-L09 at these 3 sites: http://www.imei.info | http://sim-unlock.net/imei_check/Huawei | http://consumer.huawei.com/uk/support/warranty-query

All checked

Copy the same file with the 'dload' folder to the Internal memory, remove your SD card and try to install it again.

I did that before , anyway i solved the problem and istalled succesfully There was already dload file , but it was in the other map thats why my phone didnt recognize the file
