my desrie has been running fine until today.
was running the open desire rom but changed the pinky desire 1.8 a few weeks ago.
when using phone today a few apps kept force closing so i decided to reboot the phone.
it kept sticking on the loading screen, it would go black for a second as if it was about to load as normal but then it would loop back to the loading screen.
i tried factory reseting from clockwork recovery console then wiping cache and data and then re installing a rom.
now it just sits on the first HTC screen the one you get after powering up.
EDIT ; i have googled and had a bit of a search for answers. have tried most of them with no positive results.
have probably made things worse,
while waiting for a possible reply on here and various tinternet searches for my problem i was tryingh all sorts to get it working again.
and have now wiped the SD card data completley. so now i cant load a rom from the SD card.
i tried coping my sd card back up data from my pc back on to the card but it cant run the update.zip file to get into the recovery mode.
will i have to use my gold card to get some sort of working rom on my phone now?
OK first thing to try is ensure the SD card is formatted correctly, so boot into recovery and partition the SD card. You want 0swap, 512EXt2, and rest fat32. Then still in the partiton menu upgrade ext2 to ext 3.
Once that is done, while still in recovery you should see an option for usb toggle or or something it's called. With the usb lead plugged in this will mount your SD card on the computer so you can copy your rom onto it.
From there you should be able to flash in the usual way.
Edit: just re-read your second post, and realised you can't boot into recovery. You will need a card reader to put the update.zip on, or you should be able to flash an ruu. You'll likely need your goldcard for that, and then re-root afterwards.

i take it i dont need my gold card if my phone has been debranded?
the stock roms are ruu files and all the guides i have read including
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
this one im guessing you need your phone to access htc sync..
if my phone is not loading up how can i put a stock rom or unroot from the recovery console?
i have managed to put back in the fake flash update zip and have that working now at least.. tried installing a custom rom zip from the SD card from recovery console on the phone but it is still stuck on the HTC screen.
Have u tried a stock rom, running an RUU? Do it like this enter bootloader and connect the phone to the computer it should be found by the computer, in your phone should apear fastbootUSB or bootloaderUSB, something like that..
Hope it works

case closed, thanks for the help and input guys..
i followed the guide
from benko286
1. Download this
2. Turn off Desire and then turn it on while holding back button to enter bootloader(white screen)
3. Once in "white screen" press power button again to enter bootloader
4. Connect Desire with PC
5. Press Volume Down and than Power to enter Recovery
6. Now the red triangle should show up, go to folder you downloaded file and press recovery-windows.bat, recovery-mac.sh or recovery-linux.sh depending on which OS you have
7. Now you are in recovery mode (green screen), press Wipe and than Wipe data/clear storage, than press optical tracker to confirm it
8. After that press Volume Down to go back to main menu in recovery
9. Navigate to Flash zip from sdcard using optical tracker, select .zip confirm it and wait until process finish, after that press Reboot system and unplug you Desire
10. Enjoy your new ROM
and it worked, for some reason i couldnt flash the rom using clockwork recovery mode, but this worked a treat..
was really pooping it cause i thought it was game over and welcome to a posh shiney door stop..
Nice one. Glad you got it sorted.

Hello there
I was about to flash a new Rom and before doing that I partitioned with Rom Manager the SD.
I also formatted the SD Card with Rom Manager.
From that moment on I was not able to restart into recovery mod any longer from Rom Manager.
I then decided to restart in bootloader to do a full wipe to factory reset.
From that moment on when I try to start the phone, I get stuch to the HTC Logo/Custom image logo and it keeps on booting over and over again.
I simply cannot access the phone. What can I do to fix that?
Thanks in advance
Update
I removed the battery for some time ( 30 mins) and was then able to reboot in bootloader. ( Power + back )
I headed to recovery but I am now stuck again with the phone and the red triangle...
I then use power+vol. + and get to system recovery but I just have:
-Reboot system now
- apply sdcard update.zip
- Wipe data/factory
- Wipe cache...
and nothing seems to work...
Any Idea?
Surely this is just because you wiped your memory card?
Yes I did. I am not 100% sure as I panicked a little bit probably and now I do not remember correctly but it was suggested a full wipe so I did it.
How can I now sort it out?
Did you copy the stuff from your sd card before you wiped?
Yes I did a nan back up and copied it all
Have you copied it all back? Just go to apply sdcard update.zip and the clockworkmod recovery shoud be there.
I could not copy it all back because after I started the whole process I could not access the phone anymore and even now, if I plug it to the PC it does not get recognized by it
okay download this:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-bravo.zip
Put it on your sdcard. Then go to the recovery menu you were on and click apply sdcard update.zip and you have the old clockworkmod recovery. If you also put a rom on the sd card you will be able to flash it over and will get a new rom. That should fix the problem!
Ehi Taylor I tried what you suggested and it worked!
Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it!
My son rooted his EVO using unrevoked 3 and it worked fine until he created a custom rom when it loaded it wiped out his operating system and didn't load. Now his phone is stuck the boot loader screen. Can someone please tell us how to fix the phone if you need more info just let me know and I will get it. Thanks for any help!
Did he make a nandroid backup? If not here is some advice: Ok, first go into bootloader, hit recovery then hit wipe data/ facotry reset (something to that effect) wait for it to finish and try a reboot. If that doesn't work, take out the micro sd card, insert it into your computer and download a stock rooted HTC evo rom (should be a zip file, don't extract!). Once done downloading, place it on the root of the micro sd.then put the sd back into the phone and boot into recovery again. Once in recovery, hit the install zip from sd and the hit choose file from sd. Find the file you downloaded and hit enter. Wait for it to install and reboot the phone. It should run properly again if these steps were done correctly.

You're on the right path but a bit off track.
Just use #1 if you have access to Recovery. Just read #2 so you have the correct illustration of what boatloader looks like vs recovery. (The post above was confusing)
#1. Make sure you have a rooted version of a stock ROM on the root of your SD card. If you do not, read the later part of #2.
Next, for to wipe and the wipe data, cache, and dalvik 2x..
Then, flash rooted ROM from the zip. Test...see if it works... if you tried over a dozen times with problems... then try #2.
If you had created a NANDrois back up as the root suggestions imply the here is where yo can restore nanderois as well.
If this still does not resolve the missed, you can try #2 or learn how to flash RUU.
#2. The white screen with the android on the skate board is the boatloader. When your EVO is yrunes off, you can access this by pressing and holding power+volume down. Remember, this is the bootloader.
Now, you can put a rooted pc32 zip in the root of the SD card by either removing the SD card from the phone and using a micro SD card reader.
Or, you can go to the bootloader screen then you can select recovery and go to recovery.
From recovery, toggle to USB and then push it copy the pc32 zip to the root of your SD card.
Once you have the zip on the SD card, turn off your phone or ADB command a reboot bootloader. Press yes to flash thepc32 zip
Did this work?

I haven't changed anything in the phone since I bought it last year, I just rooted it and put Leedroid on it shortly after.
At first, the phone used to randomly reboot. This started a couple months ago. But today it turned off during a call and now stays on the white HTC bootup screen.
What could be wrong?
Falsh another rom via recovery
No, not another one. Flash the same one, so LeeDroid. If that doesn't help you can just do a full wipe then flash LeeDroid.
Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated.
However, theres an update. I cleared storage through the bootloader menu and now rather than hanging on the white screen, it goes on further to a black screen with "android" written in silver.
I'll try the Leedroid flash again. Do I do the original Leedroid ROM or can I do an updated version?
Can anyone help me with how to load a new ROM whilst stuck in this situation? I can get into FASTBOOT USB, just need to know how to transfer the ROM onto the phone's storage.
Thanks!
U can't transfer data threw fastboot either use a SD card reader or some one else mobile n transfer data n then reinstall or install a fresh Rom
Device HTC Desire
Rom RcmMixSv08
SD class 4 6.40gb fat32 / 1gb ext3
S OFF
Radio 5.11.05.14
Hboot 0.93.1000
custom hboot Alpharev Cm7
Recovery Alpharev Cmw 2.5.1.8
Fake Flash Cwm 3.0.0.5
I thought that the update.zip option only works from the internal storage, not the external?
download the newest complete rom - not an update.zip

I'm stuck on the bit after that.
I've downloaded the ROM. I just need to install it in the phone's current state. I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to install the ROM if the phone doesn't boot.
Assuming you have Clockwork Mod installed, this is what you need to do:
1. Somehow get the ROM (*.zip file) on your SD card (through a card reader or someone else's phone or any other mean).
2. Boot your phone into the bootloader (hold volume down when you turn on the device).
3. Click Recovery (wait a few seconds for the SD card to mount, then press volume down to navigate and use the power button for "click").
4. Then click "install zip from sdcard" and navigate to your ROM and install it.
What version of LeeDroid were you using? If it's one of the latest ones then you need to have USB debugging enabled otherwise you could encounter the problem you describe.
I hadn't yet installed the ROM, and the ROM that I was using previously was one of the early 2. versions.

I really hope that it's the solution for me too. I have the same problem, my DS is also dead but i don't know what rom i had.. So i guess i'll just try RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe...blah-blah..
I'm dealing with a very very weird issue
Recently i flashed ICE beta 6 rom but it was slow and not good enough for daily driver, so I decided to restore latest nand backup from my last sense 2.3 rom
I did as usual. Reboot to recovery. Noticed that sdcard is recognized as 'null' but did not pay attention to it (which seems to be very stupid now)
I wiped all the partition and system and cache and factory reset etc... as usual
Then i chose restore but it said "error can't mount sdcard"
Tried to mount /sdcard but it said error
So i thought, ok we could try powering off and detach/attach the sdcard again
I powered it off, and now i can only enter Fastboot. Everytime when choosing BOOTLOADER, it enters but then i cannot use Vol up + Vol down + power to navigate through options. Have to pull the batt off to turn the whole thing off.
But when i remove the sdcard, the navigation buttons are MAGICALLY working again! But it does not make any sense because i need the sdcard to restore!!!!
So, any one, help me, please!!!
Very appreciated and thank you in advance!
Somebody helps me please!!!!!!!!!! Super urgent
Maybe your sd is messed up. Put the sd in a card reader and read it from pc. If u can, perform a backup. Then format the sd and see if u can enter recovery !
Or try a different sd card of you have one

Hi,
I've successfully rooted my HTC one x, and installed TripNRaVeRs CM9 ROM.
I then decided it Erased the SD card to make it clean and free up space, Setting > storage > Erase SD card.
This has not effected the ROM but it is no longer possible to enter ClockWorkMod through recover and I want to go back to my standard ROM.
Is this because I have deleted something important off the SD card?
When I first enter the bootloader mode the HBOOT now reads;
SD Checking...
failed to open usb master mode
failed to open usb master mode
loading HTCUpdateZipName image...
failed to open usb master more
Please plug off USB
if I 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img'
it says OKAY and Finished, but when I go into the bootloader and select recovery it just restarts the phone into android.
Have you tried to boot into recovery after the reboot from trying to enter recovery? As far as I know there is nothing important that can be erased by formatting sd card. You should flash the latest cwm recovery, 5.4.0. It's in the development section, sorry can't find it quickly from my phone now. That will allow you to put rom on sd card.
Another method is if you can boot into rom, just use adb to enter recovery.
'adb reboot recovery'.
Edit: Here is the link for the latest recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819&highlight=recovery
Oh and that Hboot message is quite normal. I also get it and am sure everyone else gets it as well. It is just looking to see if there isn't a update file(That's for different images, which we'll probably use when we have s-off).

Did I loose anything by wiping the SD card?
Whenever I reboot, my phone now says 'Preparing SD card' in the status bar, which it never used to.

obviously you have lost the contents of your SDcard and probably any CWM backups you have made.
will likely have lost any big game data like ShadowGun etc, anything that requires you to download additional game data
and FYI the "preparing SD card" popup on reboot is normal, maybe you have not noticed it before but it is normal
Thanks.
yea, I wanted to clean it from all the '3 mobile' crap that comes installed (including some bad music), I had already saved my CWM recovery to my PC so have a copy of that.
Just wanted to make sure I hadn't lost any important drivers or boot files. But now thats its booting fine into CMW Im happy.
This is my first attempt at rooting so have not seen the preparing SD card on sense.
should be ok, nothing boot related runs from the SD so happy modding
and the prepping SD should be on stock aswell as custom, maybe im mistaken
