Hello,
I have just recently been approached by my friend who had his mobile [HTC Desire 626] infected with the "Porn Virus" which caused pop ups and installed applications and slowed the mobile down, in an attempt to rid the virus he ended up deleting some system files, including but not limited to the home button function and some feature that shows the memory occupied by an app in the setting > applications tab. A Factory Default Reset does not get rid of this virus nor does it fix the damage he caused to the system files.
He came to me for help and i have no idea how to flash or root. I have read loads of guides over the years and i haven't yet found a way to make it work, on account that my Xperia got destroyed in a road accident, most of the guides ask me to go into the Hboot menu but i am not able to access this menu with the Power + Volume Down shortcut. The fix for this is to turn off Fast Boot in the Power option in settings but this option is not visible to me in settings. Another fix is to remove the battery and power up the phone with volume down button held, this is not possible with the HTC Desire 626 as the back is i believe glued to the battery.
So basically what i am asking for is a way to flash a stock/custom ROM onto my friends mobile to fix the damage he caused and to eradicate the virus. I have a concern which is that i read in a couple forums that it is possible to get the mobile to go into a Hard Brick if i install the wrong Radio/Carrier. Looking at the many ROM's provided in the HTC support, my carrier is not listed, another forum suggested that it is possible to flash a ROM excluding the Radio, i would like to know if this is possible and how.
Thank You for the help in advance and i hope that i have been clear about my situation.
Ps. I see forums with HTC Desire 626s but no HTC Desire 626.
Pps. This is a repost since my post at xda-assist got no replies.
Are you sure it's the at&t htc 626, and not like a 626s?
There are a few 626 models.
But I just made a quick on how to flash back to stock here:

I just recently bought a nexus one from a guy who had custom modded it with CM. I do believe the software as a few issues with the power button and camera function...they do not work. I'm interested to find out if it's possible to format and flash the phone without the power button, or is it possible to use a pc to do so.
Read the wiki (unroot/restore):

You can find the stock ROM (OS) here. Download one to the SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744605
Then Install an app called ROM MANAGER from the android market. This should allow you flash a new ROM without having to manually get into the recovery feature.
The issue with the power button is probably hardware related. You could probably have it repaired for free if you contact HTC/Google. It is probably still under warranty.
You may not want the stock ROM if the power button is broken. CM and many other custom ROMs allow you to turn the screen on/off with with the trackball. The stock ROM does not.
I have also heard that if you remove the battery and place it back in several times in a row, the phone will eventually get 'confused' and power on.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
A friend of mines recently gave me her HTC Legend because it was stuck on some loading screen.
It's isn't rooted.
She tried the OTA update for her device and since she did so, when the phone start, it doesn't ask for her pin code or what so ever, sense boot up, and then it keeps getting stuck on the loading screen when sense should appears.
Then after a few secondes it says : com.android.phone couldn't boot. Do you want to wait, force close, or send report.
I can handle my HTC hero but her legend seems different.. + without custom recovery I don't even now how to wipe or anything.
Anyway, could you FIRST tell me if there is a way, to try to re-apply the update (OTA not possible anymore since sense doesn t boot..).. or is there any chance not to wipe the phone ( cause she hasn t saved her contacts, messages etc)..
And if not.. how can I hard reset her phone (step by step please)
Thanks in advance guys!!
Use a search in the forums for the appropriate RUU.
Also, do not post questions in the development section.

Oups sorry, can a moderator move the thread?
Once i have the official RUU.. how can i flash it without a custom recovery?
I get exactly the same thing pull your sim car out start the phone up and complete all of the set up screens once you are into android turn phone off put sim back in it should work fine, but you will get a message about the sim being chanmged press clear if you press to change settings you will get another error and dont go into the apn settings or things get a little bit messy
To flash your carriers RUU, you may need a "goldcard" but turn off your phone and press the back button and power on the phone,to get to the fastboot screen, connect the phone to your pc and run the RUU.

If she recently updated to 2.2, then that's the problem. Plenty of people (me included) had this issue. No need to re-apply the OTA update or (re-)flash a ROM, just sync her contacts/calendar/mail to Google and backup apps via Astro.
Then do a factory reset and re-sync/install from backup. That's all it takes. Works like a charm after! ;-)
HI Guys,
Im facing a problem with mobile(HTC one) which unknowingly came into hands of one of my friend. Seeing the problem he gave it to me and I am shocked to see the problem.
The problem is phone doesn't boots and it goes straight into recovery mode when power button is pressed. The big problem is its not giving me recovery options but it shows some sort of loading bar with an unpacking logo and that's it nothing happens anymore. If I switch it on with powerON+ volume down button, it goes to factory mode and there it has no options regarding cache wipe or recovery.. I can see only some inbuilt tests such as wifi, bluetooth, headset, camera etc...
So, What I can understand is someone tried to install custom ROM without doing s-off or enabling USB debugging. In tht stuck recovery screen, ADB in my PC is unable to detect the device (or) my HTC drivers are not good but I tried ADB reboot using various HTC drivers from sync to BMP but of no use. Please see the attached ZIP file which contains all the pics of the phone with screens
Coming to phone specs, it looks and feels like Original HTC ONE dual sim phone which was launched in Asian sub continent by HTC. It has 1600 mAh battery which is something weird as minimum battery is 2300mAh in present HTC One phones.
So, what can be done on this phone to make it useful? Can I flash a kernel and install custom ROM? If possible, what are the steps?? Pls, help me here...

The word One on the front and the bootloader screen and the battery all add up to Fake. Software in these forums will not help you
Hi there eveyone, thank you for reading this.
a friend of mine has an HTC Desire OPM1100 D626ph (says on the back of the phone)
when he tries to update to the newer version (the official way) He faces an error, the phone restarts and its stuck now on an endless loop. the options he had was htc recovery menu. he has tried all the options there in hope of fixing the problem.(he doesn't know english) and he probably ruined everything. now the phone doesn't have a back up, nothing works. ADB wasn't turned on in the begining. no fast boot. the only options i think i have is to download a rom via sdcard.(not even sure if it's external)
these are the options on the menu:
reboot system now:
apply update from adb
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe /data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
any help on this would be appreciated, any ideas what should be my next step? i have history of using fastboot/adb. i don't know which rom i should download and from where? htc website confused me and the onlyy thread i found on the internet was this one and there are several links on there. not sure which one should i use?
thanks again guys.
Which carrier is he on? Also, we would need to know if it's a 626, 626s, 626x, 626g, etc... Not sure which model it is from the info posted above. If it's a 626s, the only way to recover is if it's a T-Mobile 626s (no other versions have an RUU to restore it to stock).

thank you for your response
it's an HTC Desire 626G+ (dual sim) and the carrier is "Telecommunication Company of Iran"
Hmm - I would have him contact his carrier and see if they have an "RUU" available for that phone. An "RUU" is Windows application that will reset the phone back to the way it came from the factory - and can typically restore any phone - unless it has a hardware issue.
Otherwise, let's see if anyone else has any input (I'm not familiar with the 626g myself).
Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful!

i don't think the carrier would help out with this. though it made me think he didn't do anything wrong so do you think that warranty will accept the phone?
The carrier are the ones that need to supply the RUU (either directly or via HTC), which I why I mentioned that he should contact the carrier.
I would agree that it's a warranty issue if he we just trying to install an OTA update and it caused all of this...

i have same problem with D626ph. I was rooted phone with kingroot after this try to update with ota and result was error and phone boot only to recovery menu
Ahhh - yeah, if you are rooted (and unlocked bootloader), you cannot apply OTA updates. Although, usually, they fail right away and you can just boot right back into the phone normally (without the update, obviously). It's kinda strange that the OTA is bricking the phone like that.

Your link requires an decryption key.
pl provide key. facing the same problem with htc 626g+. Updated via official OTA. Sad that they rolled it without thoroughly testing it.
Have you guys contacted HTC and/or the carrier? They should resolve this issue for you (via an RUU or some other means)!

Guys thank you for your replies. I'm kinda new to xda forum. Should i reply one by one and quote people's names or just reply in one comment? Are there any rules?
About the post, it's weird that many people are experiencing the same problem! And where i live phone carriers don't care about phone problems and it's the first time I'm hearing that i should contact my carrier for my bricked device. But things are differently in different countries ?? to @tpr0 i might try your solution when i get my hands on the device againand if no one provides a better suggestion. Because i gave it back to my friend and told him to try the warranty. After a day turned out he has bought the device without a warranty! They sell phones without warranty in iran for a cheaper price. I think it's worth paying 50 more dollars for a 1-2 years warranty. Anyway I'll let you guys know as soon my friend returns his phone (which will be pretty soon I'm guessing. Meanwhile ill wait if anyone has a link for the ROM or a solution.
try this:

With 2 hours reading forums,the only way was to flash stock rom via Spflash tool..Afterall banned update from phone ! I dont know why is that issues if someone knows tha answer please let tell us ?
If you're using a phone from Iran I think you have bigger things to worry about.
Hi all, new here
I have a HTC desire that was updating and lost all power, then when it switched back on it would go to the HTC logo, then to a blue screen then reboot.
I have read various things about how to reinstall the software etc, but none of them seem to work.
I have installed the HYC Sync and when the phone is attached the drivers start to install then fail, I've also tried using the fast boot option that shows the fast out USB option when I connect the USB, but still won't be recognised by anything.
I've also tried to install the drivers manually and nothing seems to work.
Some people say I have to have the software preloaded onto an ascaris, and some say I can navigate to the software within Windows, but I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly.
Could anybody please point me in the right direction to get this phone back up and running?
Many thanks in advance
Here is a link to the HTC 510 section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510
You will need to find the correct RUU file or other means of reverting to stock. Have a hunt around in the above section and hopefully you will find what you need.
Thank you, will have a look and see if I can figure it out ?
