[Q] HTC Desire - Quietly Brilliant Screen 0.83 after Modaco ROM - Desire General

I installed the modaco rom from here android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/316565/24-aug-r8-modaco-custom-rom-for-htc-desire-with-online-kitchen-2-2-froyo/ using the ROM manager with hboot 0.83 which was already rooted. I had the phone all of 2 days and now after doing that when it reboots it gets to the quietly brilliant HTC screen with the Modaco logo and it just doesnt get past is.
I rooted via this method forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618and that seemed to go fine
The problem is now i have only 1 option which is loading into the boot menu via Power+back button.
In there there is a recovery option, when i select this the screen i get the 02 welcome screen and it just sticks on that. When i click on recovery should i get some other options? So as i see it i can only do 2 things
1) Boot normally via power which freezes at the HTC quietly brilliant screen
2) Boot via Power+back button which gives me an option to choose recovery, fastboot etc but choosing recovery just freezes as the 02 welcome screen
Im pretty good with PCs but ive never even used an Android or Iphone until 2 days ago so go easy with the terminology, what happens if i bricked this, i didnt get insurance so will i be responsible for the cost of fixing it if i return it?

HTC Desire wont boot to android or recovery

I recently followed the unrevoked guide to root my phone and put on the clockworkmod custom recovery image (for slcd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618). Everything appeared to go smooth, unrevoked said it was a success, been using it for a few hours now and all of a sudden it wont boot sits at the htc screen, I also can't boot into recovery mode (shows a black line at the top of the screen then powers down). Its a brand new telus desire. Anyone know where i go from here to trouble shoot this/reset the device.

After running rom manager and asking it to reboot into recovery it no longer will. Stuck at HTC screen.
So it's safe to just re run unrevoked? Won't try and reroot my custom rom or anything?

[Q] HTC Desire Stuck at First Screen

I was trying to Root my Desire and made a Gold card for the same and Rooted the phone with Unrevoked one click method. Afterwards I tried to reebot into recovery mode but got stuck at the white screen with a small black line at the top. I reeboted the phone again and everything loaded fine.
Then again I tried to install the leedroid ROM through ROM manager and the phone restarted in recovery mode and again got stuck at the white screen with a black strip at the top. I waited for 10 minutes and restarted the phone by pulling out the battery.
Now the phone is not starting at all and is getting stuck at the starting white screen and still not going into recovery mode. I can't access the phone through andorid SDK. The phone just keeps showing HTC screen and never boots. Unable to install even RUU as the phone never boots.
Please any help would be really appreciated.
My HBOOT version is 0.83.0001

Desire HD wont boot up after flashing custom splash.

Hello everyone, I have rooted eng s-off radio off and custom rom enabled phone, previously i was using joker splash screen and than i change it with the new screen, but as i changed it the new splash screen set again the old one, but my phone stop there as i reboot it, it does't go further from that splash screen and wont boot up.
Reboot and leave for a good minute or two, it might just be taking it's time (After i flashed splash it took about ~45s to move on after first boot). Otherwise, power down (battery out) and boot to the bootloader: vol down and power button.
Next choose fastboot, and flash a new good splash - 480x800, bmp, etc. Get the stock one or another you know works. Reboot and voila, a phone that works

[Q] Phone stuck on HTC screen and won't boot

Hi,
I rooted my phone about a year ago and recently wanted to update it and try a new ROM. Since I have no idea what the compatibility of of my old ROM I made a NAND backup then I reset it to the factory RUU version 3.29.651.5 and my phone was back to normal in the boot loader S was set as S-on.
I then proceeded to use the autoroot v2.5 in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448. In the cmd prompt it said it was flashing the firmware, then said it was waiting for the device to boot up; however, the device did not boot up, I waited for approx 60 min and it was stuck on a black screen with the HTC logo in the middle and a small warning (triangle with exclamation point) in each corner. Now, it is permanently stuck on that screen. Even if I try to hold the volume down to get to the boot loader when it starts, it still goes to this screen.
What can I do to try to get out of this? I cant go back to my recovery to get my backup.
Thanks

The first time I tried to Root my phone, I had the same problem with Toasts Root method. That's stock Recovery you're seeing.
I ended up having to use Unrevoked Linux version and swore I would never unroot again, and I haven't.
I've tried using unrevoked and several other methods. The problem is I think most of them rely on the phone being on with USB debugging enabled. I unfortunately can't get there. The one ray of hope I have is that the device is recognized in my device manager as "Android USB device - HTC bootloader". Is there any other way I could fix this?

Are you holding power and volume down at the same time. Sounds like you are just holding volume. When you get to the bootloader I'd you see s-off all you will need to do is flash a PC36IMG of the recovery of your choice(I recommend twrp). Good luck!

Also, no need to unroot for any rom. Once you are rooted you can flash anything you want. Compatibility wise, you may need to update a radio but that is just flashed in recovery.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am holding power and volume down. Powering it on normally and powering it on while holding volume down both go to the same screen.

Please help me help him... Thx ____

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.
