bricked phone

Try download an ruu from shipped roms.

Can you get into fastboot? Hold back and power.on the phone?

If so you can run the ruu to.fix.
 
seems I can run the ROM install again and it just gets to the same point 50% and then falls over about a file error.

i've downloaded the .exe multiple times now and am really stumped :mad:
 
It's obviously a corruption on the file. Is / was your phone branded? If so, what carrier? Have you got a goldcard? Which exe is it exactly?

Need specifics
 
i'm using the

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra..._32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865.exe

thing is I downloaded this and used it at home and it worked fine.

I tried rooting it again at work using the reflash and the phone rebooted and just vibrated but it booted fine into the stock rom still.

I decided to just go back to the O2 rom and send it back as there's obviously something wrong with the internal storage somewhere as now when I reflash the stock ROM it keeps on stating about a corrupt file.

Could I flash it with another stock ROM from that page just to test?

My phone is O2 branded and I have no goldcard
 
getting the same problem with a different ROM .......

going to try it at home and if not get the sledgehammer out ........
 
pretty much yeah. I can only assume that either the internal storage is corrupt or my work PC hates me.

interestingly I tried the original ROM I downloaded again and it still at that version on the phone according to the app, so it's not even writing the image to the device.

Is there a way of just installing clockwork mod from this state?
 
If you've got the FroYo RUU, start the RUU again but don't connect your phone. Once the first screen of it comes up just leave it but drag it down to the bottom of your desktop. Now, click on Start>Run and type

%temp%

Look for the newest folder created and in there will be a ZIP file called Rom.zip - copy this to the desktop then close the window and the RUU

Rename the Rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip)and copy to the root of the SD card. Then turn the phone on whilst holding volume down to get into HBOOT. It should see the ZIP file and ask if you wish to continue. Go ahead with it and see if it flashes. If so, you'll end up with the o2 FroYo ROM
 
it's not even getting into a bootloader :S

holding down the volume button does nothing you just get the HTC logo in the middle of the screen with exclamation marks in all corners.

If I plug the USB lead in and then back out again I get to a bootloader of sorts

gah thought as much.

Thanks for the help tho it's appreciated.

now to see if O2 will replace it or if i'll have to go directly to HTC
 
I say root as soon as possible... but that's me.

You'll have q custom recovery to back up entire roms. See rooting faq in Sig
 
k this phone is probably still going back to o2

I tried to root the phone using lekkys guide

Droid Den - Phone Guide: How To Root The HTC Desire HBOOT 0.83 - Droid Den

I get as far as the phone rebooting and then it just vibrates a number of times and stays at the splash screen, if I take the battery out and try the recovery option in the bootloader I get a red exclamation mark graphic.

I reflashed the stock ROM back on and got the failure again! I reflashed again and it managed to get it back up and running although it rebooted again with the constant vibrates. Restarted again and it's now back to the stock rom

RUU_Bravo_O2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865

Any ideas on what the hell is going on with my phone?
 
You should root with unrevoked really. The red triangle, you press vol up and power at that point.
 
that's how I did root it with the revoked way, finally managed to get the clockwork recovery onto the device but it still did the whole multiple vibrates and hung at the splash screen at least once.

What does that mean?
