did i did something wrong to my DHD? plz help

in order to remove some of the unwanted bloatware in the stock rom, i deleted some of them and everything is ok till now, after i did a factory rest i realized that removed apps are still removed, dunno why?
i thought that if i did a full wipe then factory reset then i will get back the removed apps.
i installed the full wipe.zip tool, run it in recovery mode, apply factory reset, but now the device is stuck on htc logo with no OS, what is happening, did the full wipe , wipe also the OS? if so, what should i do now, did i bricked my device in anyway?
tell me plz that i have to put the rom on my sd and install it in recovery mode? assuming that i have no sd card reader on my pc, is ther any other way to copy the rom on my sd in the device?
help me plz as i have no phone right now

Give me a few seconds and ill see if i can help you. I suggest you use a world wide edition rom and flash that. You should get a full reset

i want to install this rom
1.32.405.6
http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_A....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe
first thing, what does signed means, is it a branded rom?
can i install this rom on my device from my desktop, as it is RUU?
if i cant, then i need it in zip format to install it in recovery mode, right? can you point me to a zip link of this rom?
thank you for your help

run the rom link you have there from your desktop and it should be fine.
do you have clockwork recovery installed?

signed "technically" means that i can be installed with the protection system that HTC has in place and its fine...
It is basically official from the manufacturer as they have a special method they use to "Authenticate" that the software is from them officially

and if that dont work you go into clockwork recovery and mount sdcard in recovery go to mounts and storage > mount usb storage
now you can see sdcard to put files on
as this way you can place a PD98IMG.zip on to sdcard
and flash that zip file from bootloader
here a thread thats tells you how to make a PD98IMG.zip from the RUU file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890

This is a good example of RTFM!!!
"FULL-WIPE.zip WILL FORMAT EVERYTHING!!
* BOOT
* SYSTEM
* DATA
* CACHE
* DALVIK-CACHE.
***WILL LEAVE SDCARD UNTOUCHED ***"
So basicly, nothing is wrong and your phone has no issues. You just didn't read the manual good
Download this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866752
Place it on your sd-card.
Boot phone into recovery.
Flash .zip from Sd-card.
Reboot
Your phone is back to life....

@ xmoo
i already downloaded the stock rom posted earlier by you 1.32.405.6
http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_Ac...891_signed.exe wich is signed and you are pointing me to unsigned this time, can you please tell me why? and what is the difference?
now i know what full wipe do, but lets say i removed some apps from the stock rom, doing dalvik and cach wipe then factory reset will bring back the removed apps or there is no way to get them back unless a fresh reinstall of the rom?
i installed the signed rom, and while doing HBOOT said, no image or image wrong, is it fine not finding an image?
thank you all for your great helps bringing back my DHD to life

no your apps have gone
and all that unsigned zip will do is rewrite the system and data
just need to follow what xmoo saying an you be all good again

i just installed the signed rom, before i saw xmoo reply and it's working ok, still dunno what is the difference btw signed and unsigned and why xmoo suggested the unsigned.
what thing that i noticed is that i dont get back the sample photos that comes with my device before i delete them.
note:
after flashing Soff still exist
root and CWM should be reinstalled

s-off remained cause of radio s-off.
Cause of you still having access to cmw, thats why I said flash the zip unsigned. This way you don't needed to re-root etc
Also stock pics are deleted, cause they were located on your sd-card.

[Q] [Help Request] HTC Wildfire wont boot into android

Ok, I've managed to successfully root my phone a couple of months back using unrevoked (no problems there).
Recently Vodafone UK (my carrier) has released an OTA android 2.2 update which i was having trouble installing. I decided to attempt to un-root my phone and in my wisdom used the clockword Recovery mod to "Partitions menu > format boot"
believing that the factory default "boot" would be restored (big mistake) To make things worse i didnt make a backup of the boot partition using the "nandroid" option within clockworkmod (it seams obvious in hindsight)
anyway my current problem is that i'm stuck with a phone that wont boot into android and only my self to blame. Bellow are the current screens/options that i am able to access.

After doing some research/googling i came across this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-807509.html
which in turn lead me to this file:
http://rapidshare.com/#!download|38l34|419254202|PC49IMG.zip|126004
The file which it says is missing. Once i have an SD micro card reader (going out to purchase one tomorrow) i am going to attempt to place this file on the sd card (in the boot partition?!) and use it to try and boot from.
My question(s):
Will this work?
Do i have any other options?
Is it possible to find and download someone elses backup file and use clockwork to restore from that?
Any and all help will be much appreciated!
EDIT: Apologies for posting this thread twice, I didn't know which forums to post in.

I would advise you to install a new rom via recovery. Download wildpuzzle or something. You do not need to buy card reader. If you cannot do this, I advise you to goto the stock roms website and download the 2.1 ruu and flash that then re root using un revoked

so all i have to do is simply run the RUU while the phone is connected? no need for a "gold card or similar?

Flash the wildpuzzle rom first try that and it should work.

thanks, this worked.

Hi,
I am getting the same problem that my Wildfire doesn't get pass thru the splash screen after the OTA update.
I tried this steps.
any advise you can give me?
thanks.
1st, You need a wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 (V0.6 gives 165mb) Wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 download page
2nd, Make sure that you BACKUP your SD card (copy whole SD card to computer).
3rd, Move wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 that you have already downloaded to the SD card (DONT delete the copy in computer).
4th, You need to WIPE ALL THE DATA (wipe/factory reset) in your wildfire and make sure that you have already made a backup of your rom before wiping.
5th, Make sure that you backup your SD card with your BACKUP (backup-ed rom).
6th, Run in recovery mode and select wipe/factory reset the data.
7th, Choose install zip from SD and install your wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1.
***I only get
"E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)

dairy of a madman

I've got me a xtc clip and found out the hard way to use it.
so far so good, S-off and I decided to get CWR to install a rooted rom
I installed CWR 3006 and so no Amend scripting and no Sense based roms
So I treid to downgrade CWR 3 to a 2version and failed.
Then I decide to downgrade 2.2.1 to use unrevoked to get root and hopfully downgrade CWR the sametime.
Yeah great the downgrade went fine but I got a touchpanel fail with several RUU i treid
what to do next I've manged to get CWR 3006 back on cause I made a nandroid backup and could reverse it
With that backup version running the touchscreen responded again alltouh in fast boot menu it still said touchpanel fail.
I've got me a full day of involving with my buzz and I'm back to were I started
very frustating.
I'm to stupid to downgrade CRW can't get root with unrevoked cause its telling me it can't flash recovery image
yeah you my laugh about me but I'm not giving up
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to downgrade CWR from 3 to a 2 version, I still don't have root and it needs to be noob proof please
i've tried so many times but always failed :-(
( if this post is offtopic pleace remove by a mod sorry I had to tell someone)

Install ROM Manager, and, install a Recovery through it. It will install CWM 2.5.0.7, and, entering Recovery Mode through ROM Manager will load up 2.5.0.7
This way, you will have both CWMs, 2.x and 3.x, which is exactly what I am following at the moment.
(Didn't read your entire thread, just went through the gist of it, sorry)

thanks for your answer
my problem is I still can't get root so I can not use Rom manager.
I've succeed in getting a lower Hboot to use Unrevoked
but it's given me "cant install recovery image", so I think it's conflicting with 3006
I do not know how to get rid of CRW and put the original one back in place.
By downgrading from a official RUU I get touchpanel-fail so I cant activate usb debugging and install from other then market this means so unrevoked can't do his job.
life is so frustrating sometime.......

me again I've been thinking about CWR.
to make a PC49IMG.zip of clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 with andriod-info.txt and the recovery.img. and give it a go.
will this function or am I just bricking the phone?

Since you have s-off:
Find fastboot binary (google)
save it somewhere
open terminal/command prompt. cd to the directory where you saved it ("cd /path/to/fastboot/")
reboot phone into bootloader. choose fastboot.
in command prompt/terminal type
$fastboot flash recovery <recoveryfile.img>
where recoveryfile.img is your recovery image (including the path to it, or just save the image wherever fastboot is)
edit: wait a minute, you downgraded your bootloader after getting s-off? WHY ON EARTH??? you crazy?

Id say some semi skimmed milk

thanks nhnt11 for your answer
to your question of downgrading bootloader got it up again
installed a oficial RUU froyo and started all over again, it solved the touchpanel fail and I installed a CRW 2.5 and I'm back in bisness
this is how I succeeded:
"Dont try to downgrade and get root with unrevoked this will end up in a touchpanel-fail ( and you have to upgrade a Ruu froyo to get rid of it)"
Get S-off with xtc clip
2.2.1 Stock Rom Rooted : http://www.multiupload.com/JSAWVUC88O
Recovery, Radio Update: http://rapidshare.com/files/451971561/PC49IMG.zip
1) Download Above Files
2) Copy PC49IMG.zip to the Root of your SD Card
3) Copy the Rooted Stock Rom to the SD Card and rename it to update.zip
4) Reboot your phone into Hboot Mode by pressing Volume Down and Power
5) It will now ask if you want to update the firmware select Volume Up for Yes.
6) Remove the SD Card and Reboot Back to Hboot Mode and select recovery using Volume Down then Power to select.
7) You should see a nice ClockWork Recovery system.
8) Reinsert the Gold Card and select apply update.zip from SDcard.
9) Let that finish then do a Wipe data/factory (Will Loose All Data and Settings only perform if your going to use another Rom!)
10) Do a wipe cache partition and in advance do wipe dalvik cache.
11) Reboot phone and Enjoy your Rooted Wildfire with Hboot 1.01.001.

[Q] Do I have a brick?

I was running CM7 RC3 fine on my phone, then I decided to switch back to my nandroid backup to stock ( I have done this wil ICed glacier/CM7 RC2/RC1/Royal Ginger etc with no problems). And I have been stuck on the boot splash screen the "Tmobile Mytouch 4g" screen for 20 minutes now without any action... is this a brick? I know I should not worry, but I tried wiping the dalvik cache the acahe and reset to factory setting.... still nothing
How do I go about getting the phone to work?
Thanks

are you running recovery 3.0.0.6? have you tried a battery pull?

Yes, a battery pull was tried, and I am running 3.0.0.5... any help is really appreciated

How do I possibly install 3.0.0.6 now? is it possible?
Thanks

need 3.0.0.6 to run stock or royal glacier. or 2.5.1.2. need to reinstall cm7 and use rom manager to flash recovery. or at least its the eaisest way for me.

follow drews guide and let us know how it goes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681

unfortunately, I am not being able to go back to royal ginger (its on the toyal ginger splash screen now) I am downloading CM7 RC3 again, but have no way to put it on the sdcard coz I do not have a card reader at this point....... so frustrated.

you can use recovery to mount usb and it will mount the sd card and can tranfer files from computer to card. if you can get to recovery its not bricked. make sure you format boot sys data and cache in mount screen before trying reflash.

Push the cwm 3.0.0.6 recovery image to your phone via adb

Google easy way to get 3.0.0.6 and it should be a zip file u flash in recovery called clockwork_recoveries.zip or something like that. You go into rom manager pick all recoveries and flash 3.0.0.5 and reboot into recovery and it should say 3.0.0.6 now u can flash any rom and restore without getting stuck

Your phone is not bricked. As others have stated, you need to re-flash a gingerbread ROM (like CM7) in order for it to boot.
Best thing to do is install ClockworkMod Recovery version 3.0.0.6 because it can flash both gingerbread and froyo ROMs. You can do this in two ways:
1. Re-flash a Gingerbread ROM. Download TrueBlue_Drew's .zip file from his thread in Development and follow his instructions to be able to flash the included recovery images from ROM Manager.
2. If you have the engineering bootloader (0.85.2007, also some people call it ENG SPL), and if you've set up ADB on your computer, then you can use the fastboot utility to flash recovery images directly to the device. I personally prefer this method. If you can't find instructions to do this, PM me.

Need serious help - to get my phone back to work

Hi,
My DHD is not working after a update.
I am not sure what to do now...
I have cyanogenmod 7 and When I bought it it was rooted and with S-OFF.
Today I would try to get mod with Sense 3.0 on My phone.
Actually I will get it back to Factory settings, but I not know how to go on now...
It starts up and run into the boot picture with the cyanogenmod 7 and stops and start over countiuosly.
Please help me to get further.

I got it back to work, but are there someone who can help me to get it like this
htc product legend
with the clock and the dock.

Welcome to XDA mate.
You have to know some basic stuff before flashing any ROM.
1. ClockworkMod recovery and how it works.
2. Find a ROM that you like and download it.
3. Follow the instructions written on that ROM for flashing via ClockworkMod recovery and you are done.
If you are looking for stock HTC look, you must download a Sense ROM (CyanogenMod is an AOSP ROM) and there are many of them. I would suggest reading from this post, it helped me a lot when I was new to the android scene.
If you have any questions please post here and I am sure people would be happy to help.
Remember... Search function is your friend here in XDA.
Cheers

1.Download all files mentioned below and copy them to the root of your SD card
a. Wipe file
b. Rom File
2. Boot to ClockworkMod recovery
3. Backup your current Rom to your SD
4. Flash the Wipe file (Install Zip file from SD card option)
5. Flash the Rom file (Install Zip file from SD card option)
6. Eat a donut! (aka wait for 10-15mins)
7. You should be done.
If things go wrong, you can always restart in ClockworkMod recovery and restore your previous Rom.
Cheers

I made a nandroid with ROM Manager, and now when I need to restore it, CWM says MD5 mismatch. What did I do wrong?

Hmmm did you attempt to move or edit the nandroid backup? As far as I can tell, if you have nothing to boot too, then your best bet would be the same as instructions below, to boot recovery, mount sd, put new rom on there super wipe, and flash new rom
Thanks button always appreciated!

Ohh, how easy it was. Tanks a lot. That was great you could simplyfied it to that level.

I think it went wrong because I did it with ROM manager. Recovery, it all went right.

Md5 mismatch means that image is likely to be corrupt.
Google and download the md5 checker s/w. Check the md5 hash with the one posted on the forum/website where you are downloading the image.
If needed redownload the image and check the md5 hash again.
Once the md5 hashes match you may proceed flashing the image on to the phone.
