Your radio is outdated. Latest stock will fix you up. Bootloader is soft reset volume up and power button.

Flash a Factory/Original/Shipped ROM! That should solve most probably!

This was my first bad flash after i got the phone so can't help it that i thought that i bricked it, and not everyone is as good as an developer as u apperantley if it isn't worth youre time just don't reply if u're just *****ing
Recently I had a brick on my Desire, which caused that I couldn't boot past the HTC Boot logo. I already made a thread about it, but without a solution. I sent my desire back for repair, but I think it wouldn't be a good idea if we all had to do this. So I would advice everyone to unroot, untill one of the genius devs has found a solution.
Symptoms:
-Boot stuck at HTC Boot Logo
-Going in to recovery takes a long time
-Recovery usually doesn't even work
Posible Solution:
-Some users are reporting, they can boot without SD and SIM (dont know if repartitioning the sd totally solves everything)
-Some users report, say that the situation is solved if you flash a diffirent rom (didn't work for me)
Finally I would like to motivate my opinion why people should unroot.
When I posted my first entry I though I was the only one, but now more and more people are getting this problem.
This problem is as said above probably something which can be solved but right now its a dangerous development.
This is the first I've heard of this issue and it not being solved by the SD card removal or reformatting.
How many people have this problem unresolved, and what exactly were you running when it happened? What rom, radio, which recovery was used etc.
I have rooted my phone and flashed about 20-30 ROM's and haven't had a single problem.
I must have been lucky to get a phone that don't brick so easy. I hope that you who have problem with this get a solution soon.

I've read about 5 diffirent posts about this. All the post are on the first two pages i think. I was running DeFrost, and used r5's recovery. And I was running the most recent radio that is now availible
@Milioo So what you said make me feel like you blame all the devs here at XDA comminity bricking your phone and have to be responsible for your bricked phone and it was bricked because of THEM. Hello, when you first rooted it and started to get cooked roms into it, you should have known there are chance that you phone would be bricked. That's always the first thing you need to put in your mind and every single dev has told so.
So if I were you, I would just shut and find the way to solve the problem or ask for solution. Anyone here would try to help. Clearly, you are not asking for solution but complaining.

I'm really sorry if i made you or anyone else feel like that. I've always have great respect for the devs who work their asses of to make great roms for us. and always look forward to new cooked roms made by them. The only reason the I made this thread is that i don't want other people to get bricked.
Could you please tell me where i implied that the devs were a fault here?
And finally, if anyone is to blame its HTC who are working so strongly against people putting custom roms on their phone, who ust want to make their user experience better.
I've had the same problem that the phone wont boot at all and get stuck at the white HTC Logo.
But it was easy fixed with a run of all the wipe options, and then flash the rom again.

Ok guys i'm sorry for posting this thread, clearly it isn't really a problem. I just wanted to post it because these instructions dind't work for me. But i will gladly remove this thread (If its possible)
hi mate .
I have the exact problem and I think it is a real problem - see my thread
Can someone help me - stuck on htc boot - very strange situation -- I was not allowed to put the link to it...
I did everything do get it started but no luck at all. is strange that can access fastboot, the pc recognize the device but the recovery didn't work at all, even one time I couldn't get it: when I push the power button the logo htc screen just appear and get stuck there.
so if every one has any idea what could be please help us,there are more than a week I tried every day to get it work again.
many thanks.
I had this problem months ago I was running my desire on a custom rom had a2sd installed formated the sd card and the phone wouldnt boot reflashed a fresh rom and everything worked fine again.
I too had this problem...
You didn't by any chance apply the unrevoked recovery did you? If so, did you also use ROM Manager.
If you read the top page of the unrevoked thread you'll see that it says that the two combined cause a problem with flash memory. To fix the brick I ran an offical HTC RUU, re-rooted using Paul's method, and then re applied unrevoked. I now definitely DO NOT use Rom manager.
Hope it was some help mate.
Yes best option if u can access hboot is to go back to stock using ruu
then re root it shd solve all probs
in my case I can acces hboot.
I did also stock ruu and PB99IMG.zip, and installed ok but just won't load OS getting stuck again on htc logo screen. I mention that I had hboot 0.75 and after stock ruu I got hboot 0.80...
still in truble, really don't know what else to try, because recovery don't work at all and I can't install a new recovery.
Is there a way to flash a recovery from fastoob???
RUU
When I flashed a RUU, it was still stuck at the bootloop.

If you can do a logcat of the boot-loop and pastebin it. We'll see what the problem is...
In terminal or command, write adb logcat or adb-windows logcat and then run it for the duration of the loop.

Yea the RUU upgrades your H-boot, Does just running the RUU achieve anything, you should just have a fresh clean non-rooted ROM load up on your device straight after running it?
Pop onto irc and visit the modaco chat room....we can have a talk about possible fixes
chat.freenode.net
#modaco
Feel free to look for me, and message me
just give the adb logcat comand while in bootloop and saying waiting for device and that's all
Have you tried restoring a good misc image? Just incase this could be related to that like other forms of brick are...
how can I restore the misc?

Although... with the mention of recovery taking an age, is that standard recovery, unrevoked or fake flash?
The above method uses the standard HTC recovery image, similar to fakeflash does. Worth a try *if* you can get it to work... May or may not resolve the issue though (I'm just guessing here) but could possibly in a weird kinda way help you to do a successful RUU restore using the PB image method...
I just recently tried to flash the Rom DeFroST using the Clockworkmod.
I can now not boot into the Rom (I get a looping splash, the cool colourfull nexus one X animation) and if I try boot into clockworkmod, it stalls at the Telstra splash (still image). I also cannot browse any files on the SD card, I have to remove it and insert it into the adpater.
I'm really afraid I've bricked it :/ Can someone help me? I can still get into HBOOT.

your phone is not bricked.
did you root your phone first?
I have a Telstra phone and I had to flash an official WWE ROM first, then use gold card to root my phone and now I can flash any ROM.
My phone came unlocked, it was unlocked by the company from whom I ordered it from. Yes I did root it first. Atleast, I assume I did...
I used the linux version of rewvoked 3 and it completed with out errors. It has been trying to boot for approximately 13 minutes now and is still stuck on the animated nexus one splash...
It is now into its 21st minute, I somehow doubt it's going to boot

Unlocked and rooted are two different things. Is this your first flash of a custom ROM for the Desire?
Whenever you flash a ROM for the first time it does take a LONG time for it to process. I don't remember how long, can't tell you if 15 min is to long. You can always re-flash by putting the phone into recovery mode manually and using the USB method for flashing.
Yes this is my first ROM.
That's the problem, the phone stalls if I try and put the phone into recovery mode... :/ Unless that too is meant to take a very long time?
Ok, surely 1/2 an hour is beyond what it should take?

you need to start over.
did you read ALL of this before you started (not trying to insult you in anyway, just question) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
it will tell you how to put is into recovery mode and then how to flash using USB
Yes I did, although I did end up following separate guides as my boot loader was 0.83 as opposed to 0.8 and 0.75 or whatever those guides included. Ok, start over. Sounds good... I'll try that, but you'll likely hear back from me!

My boot is .80, I am not sure if it changed when I flashed an official ROM first. I did that to get rid of all the Telstra stuff.
One thing you can try is to flash an official WWE ROM first. Then after you can go onto a custom ROM.
Ok, clockwork mod is working again, now to install thisWWE ROM, what exactly is it, where can I get it and what should I do?
Double post sorry

here is the link to official ROM for the HTC Desire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
They may have a radio in them as well. Once you flash one make sure your desire works. Then try flashing your custom ROM. Many custom ROM's need to have the latest radio so make sure you follow the instruction for that ROM and the radio that ROM uses.

one more thing, once you get an official ROM working, go to market and download ROM manager, use it to flash a custom ROM, it might work better for you.
Ok thankyou! But to me a radio is a small transistor based device that uses variable capacitance in order to change frequencies... What is it in this case?
By the way, I thank you for your help, you've been of great assistance!
EDIT: One more thing, that's a lot of roms, which one do I want? Any? do I want signed or unsigned?
Ok I'm even more confused, they're mostly .exe's, how do I use them?
EDIT: It also says they're not rooted, does that mean I have to re-root my phone again?
Having the exact same problem as you, also a telstra phone.
Boots and gets stuck on the "X" colored animation.
If you get it going, please post here what you did

A radio is the software that works your phone, GPS and wifi portions of the device.
use the first ROM on the list. Hold the volume down key and press the power key at the same time, hold them until you enter the recover screen. it will take about 30 sec to process, use the volume down key to select clear storage follow the instructions and this should set your phone back to factory setting (using the last ROM that worked on your phone). Your phone should be working and you should be able to boot-up.
From this point you will be able to connect your phone to your PC then click on the ROM (exe file) and follow the instructions to flash the official ROM
let me know what happens.
Ok so i need a windows PC? I'm on Ubuntu.
My Windows decided to implode after an update earlier this evening. Will probably leave that to download and go to bed. I'll post here tomorrow with how I get on tomorrow morning!
well last night my phone was working fine i have a t-mobile TP2 , phone died , i put it on charger till it was fully charged and turned it on and it doesnt go past boot screen.
i tried fixing it several ways
1. went into bootloader mode and tried to reflash a newer energy rom, finished that and reset the phone and still samething.
2.went into bootloader again and tried to reflash a stock tmobile rom and once again didnt work.
3.flashed a different radio and still stuck
4.tried 1&2 via micro sd and still samething
any ideas ? on what should i do or is my phone done ?
thanks.
Flash the stock ROM. If it still doesn't work, then try doing a Task29 (search for that in the TP2 ROM Development forum), a radio re-flash, and a ROM re-flash. If that doesn't work, then it's a brick.

Good advice here, but if this doesn't work and you need to send it back, make sure to put the stock SPL back on it. Grab that from the Hard SPL thread.
I read something about plugging in your headset and then it will boot (go past the bootloader) If that is the case, your usb port is broken.

You don't need a USB connection to flash anything. You could load the .nbh file onto the root of the SD card. Once in bootloader mode, it will flash straight from the SD card. This works for task29 as well. If you aren't having any luck so far, this might not help, but it is an alternative to USB flashing.

If you aren't having any luck, then neither will T-Mobile. If you've got the stock SPL on it, then just do a warranty exchange.

Odin is the Samsung equivalent of Sony's Flashtool. CWM is another lifesaver as it has wipe options built in that can help to get a phone to boot. CWM remains installed even if the main OS is removed........

Yeah I have used sony phone for a while and i have broken it (Hard bricked) when unlocking the bootloader, then I picked up a galaxy w and I am still in love with it, Its a single core but it can do miracles. I have soft bricked my phone many times, I sometimes delete the ROM i put on the sd card to have room for the kernel and other tweaks so i use Odin to just return the stock OS and then get a new ROM and flash it inside. There is not much risk and you cant go wrong with the phone. I fixed mine many times and i know how many frustration you get when doing such thing. I remember the first time when i bricked my phone by installing kernel for another android version, and then i booted up to CWM and wiped data/cache and flashed a new rom. Because of the long booting time i thought that its over, i broke my phone, but after sitting there for 10 mins. it finally booted up. Damn i was so happy then, i rooted my phone and installed a new rom for first time :victory:
