Desire Bricked?

Ok, will give you as much detail as I can, hopefully someone can help.
My Desire is suffering from the rebooting constantly problem. Now, I have to send it back to T-Mobile so I though before I done so, I should put the correct Rom on it.
I downloaded all the T-Mob ones I could find, and not of them worked, two were the wrong bootloader version and two just had errors on start up.
Bootloader 0.83.0001 btw.
Anyway, not sure what has happened next but now when I try to turn my Desire on it just hangs on the white HTC start up screen. So i tried Power + Vol down to go into recovery and it does the same, stick on the white HTC screen.
I have taken the SD card out to try this and it has no effect, it's the same as the above.
At a loss now as to what to do, is the phone totally broke or is there some way that I can recover it?
Any help muchly appreciated.
Edit - Is there a way of flashing the RUU directly to the phone to make it run on start up? OR am I talking gibberish?

did you HOLD DOWN(right way) the Vol Down + Power untill the fastboot screen appears or did you just press it?

Held it down and got into the bootloader screen, can see all the options but picking recovery just send me to the white HTC screen where it then sticks.

Sorry that I can't help you with the bootloader issue, but just a quick note for your future reference when you (hopefully) get the bootloader sorted: Bear in mind that there's a big difference between t-mobile in the UK and in the US. It's possible that you've downloaded and flashed a US-based t-mobile ROM which has made the phone unstable.
As far as I know, UK-based t-mobile handsets operate on the 900/1800/2100 MHz bands. In the US, t-mobile runs on 1700/1900/2100 MHz bands, so the ROM you've loaded may not actually be compatible with your hardware. This may or may not help you solve the problem / avoid it in future.
Good luck!

If u can get into bootloader n fastboot try n make a gold card n flash a ruu that way.
If even try using unrevoked again n c how far u get

Recovery Alpharev Cmw 2.5.1.8
Fake Flash Cwm 3.0.0.5

IM thinking that flashing the ruu will sove all ur problems so no need to it send back
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

I think u have to unroot ur device first. This hapens to me before n I just do the step i give u down. It will help u but u have to get the correct ruu file for ur device
1. Reboot your HTC Desire into bootloader mode by turning the phone off then pressing the power button while holding down the volume down button.
2. Select “Fastboot” and hit power button.
3. Connect your HTC Desire to your computer and make sure “Fastboot USB” comes on the HTC Desire.
4. Just download the RUU file and run.
Thats it u r now unrooted ur device should start up as like u first turn it on. Sorry for the bad english.

i would recommend flashing a new recovery first via fastboot before trying RUU (though it is a good suggestion as well). If you can get to fastboot, you just need to download whatever recovery image you use, connect your phone via usb and use:
fastboot flash recovery C:\wherever_you_put_it\wahtever_image.img
Recovery can become corrupt too just like anything else on the phone..

Boot loop CM7.0.3 and recovery has red triangle

HELP - HTC Desire Can't access to fastboot (Recovery) - I have S-OFF

Hi,
your help is very apreciated.
I have a HTC Desire (Bravo) and MIUI rom. Today, I try to update the ROM version from 2.3.4.a1 to 2.3.5.a1, I simply go to recovery, and make clear cache, clear Dalvik and install de new rom.
After, the phone start well, but when I make the first reboot, the phone get in a loop on rom (Miui) boot screen and never start (only turn off taking off the battery).
When I try to get into recovery using fastboot, it doesn't work, I push vol down + power, but the Desire always start normaly and freeze in boot screen, fastboot NEVER is showed.
Can you help me please?
p.d:I have the S-Off
Thank you in advance

Try pressing the 'Back' button and power instead. If you can get in to that then it can be fixed.

Take battery out and put it back in
Hold volume down and power button
What happens?

Nothing is happening with Volume down n power button. Only when I'm pressing the power button The display is giving different weird colors after 2-3 minuites. Please help me out.

Get on your computer, make sure you have the Android SDK installed (you need adb), open up a command prompt and run "adb reboot bootloader" to get into HBOOT or "adb reboot recovery" to boot into recovery. Keep sending one of these commands until it works. You could also run "adb devices" multiple times during boot to find out if your phone is recognized at some point. If it is, the above commands will work.

Well right now its condition is a little better I think.. When I press Vol down n power key Getting a white HTC printed black display with "! sign each four corners. My pc's device manager also detecting "My HTC" inside "Android USB devices" n when I pull-off the data cable getting white display with the information below:

Preety sure because 2.3 RUU is made for all versions of devices no matter of region. You probably have slcd device and RUU that you flashed is amoled with wrong cid.

I can't give you the link. Go to htc dev site, kernel source code section, configure filter by device (desire), mark OTHER below, click on find files and the first file on the list will be 2.3 upgrade. Download it and run it from your PC. Don't forget to install htc sync before running RUU exe.

I all, my friend recently gave me an HTC Desire, which fails to boot at the HTC logo on a white background. I thought it would be a case of simply reflashing the firmware but I can't get any of them to work what-so-ever, here are the details of my attempts so far-

Any help would be great, I have no idea of what other RUU I could use.
**Update**, I have also tried copying the rom.zip from each RUU and renaming the file to PB99IMG.zip and then copying it to the SD Card, booting into recovery and selecting BOOTLOADER / FASTBOOT, which then changes to FASTBOOT / HBOOT which then says it the wrong image!!

I read online that the GB version wasn't very good and its best to stay with Froyo unless that statement is wrong
**update**
I managed to get this RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed.exe onto the phone, I had tried this already until I started repeatedly pressing the power key in the recovery menu and it started to install and was successful. its just rebooted but is it normal for it to stay on the white HTC screen for a while, it's been a few mins so far.
**update 2** I reflashed it and it now says Radio_V2 Failed-PU, not sure what this means
**update 3** the phone rebooted after the failed update and it now appears to have diesda death, not sure what has happened or how to fix it. it won't switch on, responed when connected to a computer, nor can i get it into recovery, any idea's on a fix?

radio fail is the worste fail u could get. the only way iv seen it being fixed is running the 2.3 gb upgrade from HTCDev over and over again till it works (if it works) good luck

How do you install it, it's a .tar.gz file and how do you install it onto a phone that won't boot up, gonna need help with this one if.

u flash it from bootloader. phone off then hold volume down + power. then plug it into ur computer and run the file.
if u want, check my sig, the PB99IMG of it is there, just put it on ur sdcard then vol down + power then bootloader will find it and ask to update, volume up for yes. make sure uv plenty power on ur battery. all u can do is keep trying, hopefully it will work.

As I have said it's not coming on even when I do the volume down + power, I left it connected to it's charger last night but i'm not sure it even did that as there was no led indication it was charging,
also each other time I put the file named PB99IMG it never asked to update it only ever said there was a file missing, that's when I came across the little trick of repeatedly pressing the power button while in the bootloader which seemed to force it as there was an status indicator in the top right corner which filled up, then it asked to update, the first flash went ok, but it hanged on the white HTC boot screen and did nothing for 20 mins so I started again and that's when I got a failure.

Does the phone boot anymore? No led flash, anything? You may have bricked your phone for good. Try following bortak's giude, or ask there about your problem.

It is not bricked if you can at least turn something on.
I think Back + Power will get you to fastboot menu at least
Try Bortak's troublehooting guide, it's stickied to the top of Q&A.
You'll probably need to flash 2.3.3 RUU.

To flash RUU you need to fully turn on the phone. And about fastboot... I can boot into it, but i cant navigate there, because my + and - doesn't work :/

You can flash the RUU in fastboot mode. You dont need it to boot into android.
Like eddiehk6 said, since your volume rocker buttons dont work you can use back and power to boot directly into fastboot. Then you can run the ruu from there.

So i need just open official RUU 2.3.3 and do usual ****? (when my phone is in fastboot)

Exactly.

Wait a sec, no need to flash the dangerous ruu. just plug you're phone to PC via USB and turn it on, in whichever mode it is use command line to restart it to recovery.
adb reboot recovery
With ruu you can brick it for real

Then what does he do?
Ur assuming he is s-off or rooted with custom recovery. If hes never rooted and is stock s-on then the only option is what has been suggested above.
