[Q] HTC Desire restore to stock - not booting up - no SD card.

Had my desire on a custom ROM (can't remember which one) - and took my SD card out and gave it to a friend cause he needed it - he then formatted it cause I said it was OK (cause I didn't think I'd need it) but then my HTC doesn't start up. It keeps going into the bootloader and I can go into clockwork recovery mode but I haven't got a SD card and all I want to do is to install a stock ROM on it.
Downloaded the stock ROM and tried installing but it won't recognize the phone.
What can I do?

To run stock, you phone has to be in FASTBOOT mode. To get there, start it with pressed back and power button. Then connect phone to computer and run downloaded ruu.

But first, post ALL. The information from your hboot screen (vol down + power from off)

[Q] desire hd bootloaded stuck!

need your help guys,
Have a rooted DHD, which has been working fine with a custom rom for months now. It froze this morning so pulled out the battery and put it back in, now it just loads up bootloader and then tries to do something then fails. After that I am left on the main menu : fastboot, recovery ect and none of the buttons work. It wont let me move up or down with the volume buttons and also the power button doesnt work. Any ideas guys ?
much appreciated

May be a problem with sd card. Try ejecting the card to see if it will boot.

[Q] Hey everyone! Would appreciate your help with my cousin's DHD

Hi everyone! I own a rooted Nexus S with a custom ICS ROM, so I'm pretty familiar with flashing new ROMs using ClockworkMod in general. My cousin asked me to update her phone because it has become quite laggy. I figured I would take a stab at it, but I've run into a few issues.
First, she bought the phone used about six months ago. The guy she bought it from had already rooted the phone and installed a custom GB rom on it (Android Revolution HD 6.1.5). I can't seem to figure out how to boot the phone into recovery mode. ROM Manager has not been installed, and when I try to boot the phone to recovery mode by pressing the vol down button and the power button, it just boots regularly. Here is some of the other info:
Android version:
2.3.5
HTC Sense version:
3.0
Kernel version:
2.6.35.14-RCMIX3D-ACS-ACE-NCR-[email protected] #9
Baseband version:
12.56.60.25U _26.10.04.03 _M
Build number:
3.06.405.1 CL150597 release-keys
Browser version:
WebKit/533.1
I was going to attempt a full wipe, but I don't want to mess anything up. How would you recommend I proceed? I would like to load CWM onto the phone to make flashing a new ROM as familiar as possible. I was thinking about installing IceColdSandwich 8 AOKP, if that makes a difference. I also might try the most recent version of Android Revolution HD, since that's what she's used to. Whichever is more stable is what I will keep on the phone.
Again, your help is greatly appreciated. Mods, I understand that some of my questions have been answered in other threads, but I would appreciate if you would keep this thread open until I have a solution to my unique situation.
Thanks!
Mike

tri to install rom manager and flash recovery or you can try ron toolbox.
i use rom toolbox and it's working pretty good, i ca't boot in recovery using volume + power because volume button it working pretty hard.

when the phone is fully booted then choose to reboot in bootloader. From there u can choose recovery. If CWM is not there u can just flash it from command prompt. I would suggest u use 4ext Recovery that is far better than CWM in my opinion.
If the phone is already rooted but laggy maybe u can try to do a data and cache wipe...

^^ I don't have the option to reboot to bootloader, only a full power off. I will try a data and cache wipe, but I've only done it in CWM. I also know nothing about using 4ext, has never been mentioned in the Nexus forum.
How can I do a data and cache wipe without access to the bootloader? Can I just delete specific folders?

1.Power off the device
2.power on the device while holding volume down.
3.from bootloader choose recovery
4.proceed from there

That's the problem, when I power on the device while holding volume down, it just boots normally, not into the bootloader. No idea why this is the case.. I'm wondering if I should just do a factory data reset and go from there?

It sound like your volume button are broken =\
And can you boot into your Rom? and are you rooted?

Hi. If you can't reboot into recovery via pressing the volume and power button. Go to Settings and then Power. Unclick the Fast boot checkbox. Now power down the phone completely. And then press the volume and power button. You should now boot into recovery mode. Please click Thanks if this method works for you.

If You still can't reboot in hboot with volume down, You can do this...enable USB debugging, plug the phone to the PC as charge only and then open a CMD as admin and type adb reboot-bootloader, or better adb reboot recovery. In order to do that You must have the drivers installed. Have in consideration that if You don't have a working volume rocker You won't be Able to choose anything unless You use touch recovery.

try install this

all the information u can get from that page,,,,

The volume buttons do work, I can change the ringer volume no problem. I gave the phone back to her for now, but I will try again in a few days and report back. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Since it has a sense based rom, is fast boot turned off? Maybe the reason with difficulty in booting into boot. Though pulling battery should negate that.
Personally I would install 4ext app and recovery and use that
Heck you could use rom manager to boot you into recovery. Then manually wipe and install.

Avoid using from manager. It doesn't work well on this device. Use the 4ext recovery.

As has been mentioned already, did you pull the battery out and put it back in before trying to boot into recovery?
Also, make sure that she knows or saves her APN info which she uses with her carrier to access the internet. You can use APN Backup & Restore to save it as an xml file to your SD Card. It doesn't work with Ice Cream Sandwich (in case you flash an ICS rom) but you can manually read the saved xml file (on your pc) and enter the info from that.
This makes sure that you can reconnect to the internet according to your original phone and carrier data contract (regardless of what APNs happen to come with the new rom).
If I can't boot into recovery, pulling the battery out first and putting it back in works for me.
Choose a rom and download it to your SD Card beforehand too.

Well, thanks for your help guys, but she turned around and sold the phone for $150 yesterday =P
Appreciate your help! I may be in the HTC forums more often, looking at picking up a One X very soon.

A place to start would be to boot into recovery - hold down VOL DOWN and the power button, and flash the ROM again - or flash a new ROM, that you put on the SD card ?

[Q] Keeps booting into ROM

Can someone help please?
I was using the Venom ROM but decided I could not live with the battery life, so flashed the Revolution ROM. I must have installed something it does not like, so it is now saying Android.process.acore has stopped, and requires force close. I can sometimes get into Clockwork recovery but on selecting to flash a zip by pressing the power button the DHD boots up the ROM.
Is there a way to bypass having to use the power button?
Thanks
Alex

Whether the cwm recovery is touch based? If not try flashing cwm touch recovery or 4ext recovery or twrp recovery. With these recoveries you can select menu by touch no need of power button to select menu.
Thanks doesn't hurt....

Did You do a Clean install? If You didn't do a full wipe do that And then reflash The ROM, if You did, just boot into recovery And choose fixmpermissions from there To see what happens.
Yes use a touch recovery as suggested above

I don't seem to be able to do anything in recovery because of the power button starting the ROM.
Trying to get into the bootloader using adb on the PC doesn't seem to work either, as I'm not getting into fastboot, being unable to select it. I get device not found error in all the screens I can get to on the DHD.
Edit.
I've now, I think, got into fastboot by taking out the SD card and Sim card. I think the DHD knows it's in fastboot USB as this changes to fastboot as I put the USB cable in. However, I get no response to fastboot devices, and still device not found to USB reboot bootloader.
I'll keep trying, but not sure what else I can do.

Nightmare, but eventually managed to get into recovery and flash a new ROM by putting SD card in at the last minute.
After several attempts when the on/off button loaded the old ROM, got the recovery to work correctly, and the new ROM is flashed. adb now works as well.
