Hey!
Im new to this forum but there seems to be a lot of experts here so i thought i'd try and see if anyone could help me!
Yesterday i put my desire to charge and after one hour i came back and it was showing the boot screen! The white background with the 3 green letters HTC! so i took out the battery and put it in again and restarted the phone but it only gets to that screen vibrates like 10 times and then hangs there! tried waiting for it for 30 min but nothing...
So then i tried to hard reset it and cleared the storage! but afterwards still the same!
Also when in "recovery mode" i sometimes see some green text flashing by for just a sec saying something like "warning...no image...."
Everything is in its original state, i havent rooted or reflashed it or anything... but i am willing to do so if it can solve my problems since warranty matters in my case will take ages!
The phones language is Swedish btw!
Can anyone help me?? its first now that u realize how much the phone means to you Miss my desire!
it sounds like the firmware is somehow corrupted. If you can boot the phone by pressing power and volume down, this will take you to the bootloader. From here you should be able to root the handset by following any number of threads here or on modaco!
Then I'd go Here and install this recovery. From then on you can choose a custom or stock rom to install.
You need to know though that rooting will void your warranty.
Have you also tried booting the phone normally with the SD card removed?

Hi all,
Desperately need some help to stop me geting a whack off the wife
First off the phone is an O2 branded desire with an SLCD screen.
I rooted it using the unrevoked method and installed leedroid. That all went ok
Now sometimes the phone switches itself off and the wife wants it put back to stock, no problem i said.
So i dont need a goldcard ( i think) as the phone is stll O2 branded.
I downloaded the stock O2 RUU:
RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.0
2_2_release_124865.exe...
Connected the phone to the computer via usb cable and clicked on the RUU exe and followed the onscreen instructions.
PC said everything was successful and i clicked on "finish"
Now, the screen remained black so i left it for 5 mins, still black.
I removed and re-inserted the battery and switched on, i get the vibration and tje screen still remains black
Can anyone help me out as if you knew my wife you wouldn't want to get her angry

Are you able to boot into the recovery menu? (volume up/down (don't remember which) + powerkey when phone is off).
If so, grab clockwordmod recovery as an update.zip, then you can launch update.zip (which will load clockworkmod) from which point you can of course flash new roms, etc etc.
If not, I think there are other threads in this forum about gaining USB/ADB access, from which you can then load clockworkmod and do the same.
Hi Sparksalot,
I cannot get into anything as the screen is just black.
When i press the power button after reinserting the battery i get the initial vibration so i presume it is doing something just that i cannot see it as the screen stays black.
I will continue to read threads but i suppose if i cannot see what the phone is doing i wil not be able to fix it

YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GET IN

My phone is T-mibile G2,I can't reinstall the system or restore factory setting. When the system starts up,it will stay in the Boot Animation and vibrator 7 times then stop,I have to remove the battery to reboot. Reinstall Hboot,recovery,RUU didn't work neither,whatever I have done to my phone,the old system is still there,with my application,SMS.....What can I do ?
Hi. I face the same problem. No solution from me unfortunately. My DZ is unrooted, stock 2.3.3 system with Sense 2.1 I think.
Phone crashed, when updating market apps. Powering on displays HTC logo and that's that. Nothing else happening.
I do get working bootloader, but when I select Factory Settings, phone freezes on bootloader screen. If I select Recovery the screen will display the standard recovery icon with the phone, and green cictular arrows over it, then the screen goes blank, and I get the seven vibrations.
What I did try was going into Fastboot, and try to flash shipped RUU, which is the only option with locked bootloader. It froze on the Fastboot screen as soon as the installer on my computer diaplayed "Resetting Bootloader" message (or something similar, don't remember exactly).
My google research gave only one possible solution (except sending the phone to HTC (they repair the issue with no questions asked, apparently). The seven vibrates happend quite a few times with Nexus One. Someone said that depleting the battery helped, another user said that what helped him was charging the phone for 12-24 hours. Well, Can't say that I'm optimistic, but I'll try both, with depleting first, obviously, and get back to you.
Any other ideas?
EDIT: Sent mine for a warranty repair.
I sold my old incredible to a kid. It sat for about 7months due to me upgrading to new phone. It had CM7 on it running fine when sold it. When he went to activate it, problems problems problems. I took it back him and told him I would fix it before paying me. I'm having troubles.
- No working recovery. can't get it to boot properly. I had the "5 vibrates of death" couple times.
- I'm trying a couple ruu's but when finished it will get to the lock screen, look normal, then reboot to lock screen then after a couple times will 5 vibrates then black screen.
1. I've tried [HOW-TO] Fix 5 vibrate and black screen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110865) I can seem to do the sdcard fix but not sure how to complete the usb fix or if that will even help me along. I can't "run terminal in anroid" because I can't get the Rom to boot up. All I can do is fastboot.... Compouter recognizes device.
2. I've tried multiple RUU's including PvilleComp's at http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22
3. I'm using hboot .92 and radio is 2.15.10.07.07 s-off
I realize problems like these have been asked before, I've looked through them, uesd the search button, etc.... But I'm still really stuck and would like to fix this before reimbursing kid money.
Thanks

Have you tried reflashing cwm recovery thru hboot? Then wipe everything and flash a rom.
Yes I did try this. Got CMW re-installed, and when I tried to select any option in recovery just goes to picture of hat and hangs there. I press power button and goes back to CMW main menu.
I also tried a fix from your post:

Not sure where you got those instructions or files from, but there not for the incredible.
Heres what you do.
Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your sdcard in no folders.
Pull the battery, reinsert, and press vol down +power for 5 secs then wait for 5 mins not touching anything.
Press vol up and then wait for 20 minutes touching nothing. The phone will reboot once during the process, this is normal just let it be.
Press vol up, the phone should reboot and come up being able to see things and boot to the os normally.

This is where I've gotten the furthest. Got thru HTC quietly brilliant. Droid animation (red computerized looking stuff), "Droid" sound, then got to lock screen. Sit there for 5sec or so then would reboot, do the same thing over again and get to lock screen. Reboot again, then usually "5 vibes of death"
The kid does not have a phone other than this one I'm trying to fix, and they would really like it fixed and in their hands by Friday.
I just tried re-installing CMW again, and just hangs on white HTC screen, doesn't even make it to CMW menu. This is kicking my butt.
Fruitcake? Back to stock? That worked on my phone once..not sure if it was sim or not

He would like back to stock. S-off or S-on. Root or no root. Just working properly.

What button are you using to select things in recovery? Pressinh power on the main menu brings up the orange hat, press the trackball to select items power to go back.
I have to admit I was using the power button (used to my Rezound) but now I cannot even get CMW to work. Flashed it with the .zip in hboot/bootloader. Tried both restart and not restart after running recovery update. Both ways, phone will just hang at white HTC screen and not enter CMW anymore. Sometimes screen goes black then back to white screen or just stays on white screen indefinitely.
Could a bad battery be causing this? I'm trying 2 different ones. I'm not sure if either are bad, just trying to troubleshoot. Is there a way to check battery health on a non-bootable phone?
Any other suggestions to try? Thanks everyone for your help. I'm giving this phone just a few more hours of me fussing with before it gets retired.
UPDATE:
after battery sitting on charger all day while at work (10hrs or so), tried to boot up phone. went well. got to OS right away. I let it sit for 1/2hr to see if it would reboot or not. it stayed alive. i tested making a phone call: OK. I browsed the the XDA website for less than 1 minute, it then rebooted on me. white HTC screen then black. white HTC. then black. white HTC then rebooted fine. couple seconds later shuts off again. this time the same white HTC then black 3 times same as before. then instead of rebooting, got the 5 vibes of death.
the phone while working also asked me to update to lastest android 4.08.605.2
i'm not sure which RUU i ran to get this far, but must have been an earlier.
so i guess now i will attempt the 5 vibes fix, that's if i can get the phone booted for long enough to install terminal emulator from market and follow the steps.
any ideas guys? thanks in advance.
i did the sd card fix and attempted 5 vibes fix: http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=33
pulled the battery. put it back in. powered on the phone. once the first white "HTC Droid Incredible" screen came up, I plugged phone into PC. instead of one audible ding from computer saying device connected, i recieved 3 very quick dings from PC and phone shuts off. no charging light indicator. if i single press power button, unresponsive still.
now i unplug device from PC, remove battery, put battery back in, hoping for it to reboot normally. instead i get white HTC then black. white HTC then black screen with no boot up.
I believe so far I've tried the GB RUU from PvilleComp and the RUU provided by cmlusco in my post #3.
I guess now I'll try the Froyo RUU from PvilleComp's site: http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22
It could be your battery, but usually the phone will just turn off not reboot. 4.08.605.2 does not have a PB31IMG.zip so you have to use an ruu exe, but that requires you to be able to boot. You could try the froyo PB31IMG and hope it works. My only other sugestion would be to try and upgrade your hboot to the new 1.02, and then use the htcdev site to unlock it. Then fastboot flash cwm recovery and hope you can access it.
i upgraded the hboot. unlocked via htc site. reinstalled CMW and was working fine. flashed ota stock GB. same problems still. i left him long enough without a phone, so the fixer project is ended.
thank you all for your help, greatly appreciated

No problem. Sounds like it may be a hardware issue.
Hey,
Title is slightly more dramatic than my situation but basically my phone wont do anything more than loading the bootloader. Recovery doesnt do anything anymore (it just sits on the HTC screen) and the Factory Reset loads up the Reset screen for a few seconds then reboots and sits at the HTC screen.
This happened after the battery fell out while I was Restoring a backup from the Recovery menu, it was on the CRC check when the power cut. Any ideas how to get access to the recovery back?
Ironic thing is, T Mobile are meant to be ringing in 30 mins to offer me phone upgrades haha
Thanks,
-----------------EDIT------------------------
I dont know how I fixed it but I did, this may be helpful to others with a similar problem.
I restarted and took the battery out several times (7 or 8 times)
I loaded up fast boot and then clicked on recovery (which took me back to the main bootloader page)
Clicked on Recovery and took a minute or so to load.
Im guessing the fastboot did something (though im not sure what since its not connected to my computer or anything :S
I would love to know why this fixed it (if it did) and why it likely stopped working in the first place.
Did you have a stock recovery or a custom one? Arent you supposed to press volume up+power keys to get into stock restore? That's where the red HTC logo sits. I watched through a 5 minute video the first time I did it just to figure out I had to press that key combo!
I need a bit of help with a stock HTC One X. As of this morning it won't boot up. I have made no changes to the ROM, everything is stock.
Tried entering the recovery panel and turning fastboot on then restarting but every time the system stops at the "HTC One" page after making a startup sound. Sometimes the screen will go black and hitting the volume keys will bring up the volume changer but that is it.
There was no warning of an OTA update or anything like that.
When charging the screen stays on and dims, but stays on the "HTC One" screen.
Factory reset HOX and it booted, but next day same issues. This is 3 times I've had to factory reset now.
Every time I restart or cold boot it freezes on the "One X" screen.
This exact same thing has just happened to me! Just 10 minutes ago
I have no idea what to do.
I have not attempted root or anything like that everything is stock (Optus from allphones).
All I did was restart and now I cannot get into the phone.
I can get to those options (fastboot) by holding down the volume down button and the power button but restarting it or powering it off there does not help.
I havn't tried a factory reset yet as I'm scared about loosing all my data.
Can someone please help!
Please please
I'm suprised someone else is having the exact same issue what the hell is happening
Have you tried using the Recovery option from the Bootloader?
Yeah I tried that.
It didn't do anything. I've since done a factory reset. That worked but I've now lost everything
Now that's it's allw whiped I figure I might as well root it and install android revolution. I hope it's just a software thing and this will fix it.

Fair enough, if you're thinking of Rooting and installing ARHD etc then feel free to use my Guide : The Stock to Custom ROM Awesomeness guide
It'll take you from Stock to having ARHD on your phone ok

Took it into HTC last night and had the firmware flashed. No problems now... 12 hours with numerous restarts just to make sure.
It looks like it was a corruption in the software. I noticed HTC turned off the fast boot option before giving the phone back to me. Took 30 minutes in total.
If it happens again, try to hold the power button and the "Homepage" button at the same time. You should see a grey box saying "Continue holding to restart".
Thats a full restart rather than a shell restart.
That may help.
