Unrevoked went bad - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've got a big problem: I've just received my desire back from the shop (the power button was broken, it hs been replaced, but they didn't updated the fw or changed anything else), I've got an original 2.1 fw on the phone, and I wanted to root it (before taking it to the shop it was rooted, then I unrooted it, because I still had warranty on it), so I've runned the unrevoked 3.21.
It started, the phone rebooted, then the program said: flashing recovery, and the phone turned to the white background htc boot screen. It was like tath for 10 minutes, with no changes, than the unrevoked program stoped.
No change on the phone, I've taken off, then put back the battery and restarted the phone, but it was stucked in the boot screen.
I can go into bootloader mode, and I was able to reflash the original fw (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4 .06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed), wich was successfully flashed on the phone, but there is no change, phone stuck at the boot logo.
What can I do?

.. You didn't have patience enough, should've waited longer.
It's supposed to reboot several times - and takes a little while.
I don't know what you can do, try it again maybe?..

you made a rookie mistake... WHEN YOU PUSH THAT ROOT BUTTON, there is no turning back... you can't abort in mission. I have no idea if you can fix now :/

It hasn't rebooted..
I've run unrevoked several times before, and never had problems.
Now it was stuck for 10minutes at the htc logo for the first time, so there wasn't any "many reboot", and the unrevoked program on my pc just shut down itself after that, without completing the rooting process..
Now I've tried to flash several ofw-s, and I always succsefull, but the phone can't boot, still stuck at the htc logo.
I'm wondering, can I take it back to the htc service and say, that the original fe update bricked it and will they repair it under warranty? (there is no sign of the unrevoked process, because I've changed the ofw like 15times since then)

I would try another RUU first. If you are getting into recovery you should be able to flash an RUU. That would update your hboot etc and as far as I know, should get you back up and running.
If your phone is debranded, remember you need a goldcard. If its unbranded then you should be good to go with just the RUU.
Edit: have you tried booting without Sim and SD card too?

As I said, I tried booting with and without sim and sd card, the result was always the same.
As for the RUU, I've flashed almast 15 of them succsesfully, but the result was always the same: no booting.
My phone is unbranded.

[Q] Bricked phone?

I recently got a replacement EVO and tried to do the unrevoked method of obtaining root. That gave me an issue of a "Backup CID missing" which I believe relates to my hboot version (0.79). Instead, I tried to do toast's root method at forum. xda-developers. com/ showthread.php?t=690762. It seemed to work, but now the phone only boots into the white background bootloader. What can I do?
How long did it hang on the white screen for? Sometimes after you flash something, it will hang on the white screen for a good while before it boots.
I meant the bootloader, not the white loading screen, but I have since fixed that issue, which only led to another issue. My phone was acting strange, so I loaded up the pc36img.zip file from forum. xda-developers. com/ showthread.php?t=780141&highlight=unroot and just wanted to start over. I flashed it in the bootloader and then...
My phone boots up, works for 30 seconds or so, and then it shuts down, vibrates 5 times, and is unresponsive. I need to pull the battery and reinsert it to get it to do anything. I have tried reflashing the PC36img.zip file again in the bootloader, but the problem persists. Sorry for all of this trouble, but I am really stuck as to what to do now

HTC Desire won't boot past HTC screen

Hi everyone
Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I've had my desire for about 4 months, rooted it using unrEVOked sucessfully and have played around with a few different roms.
i had leedroid on it maybe 3 weeks ago and it kept going in reboot cycles, which sucked so i changed Roms. last week it started to freeze occasioanlly with my current rom (i'm using MIUI 11.26). now it is just frozen solid basically.
It is stuck on the HTC screen at bootup. If i use the volume down key and power to boot, it will go into bootloader, but when i go and click recovery, it just reboots and does the same thing, freezes at HTC. So i'm unable to get into clockwork.
Any ideas? I've been able to follow instructions and am pretty good with swapping roms around etc, but i'm really stuck with this one
Any help would be appreciated. I'm also wondering if it is not software related.
mine just did that today, i tried to open a Gtalk message but it kept force closing, so i rebooted, now it wont go past the white HTC screen. i also removed the battery, same thing happens...not too sure what to do next
BTW im using the CM6
Is there any solution to this? Mine is stuck at the HTC logo too. Can't get into recovery and clear storage didn't work.
Anybody?
i had something like it i endet up whit download this Ruu update
.shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Bravo&file=RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
but for this update i think phone need to be unbrandet and i think you need Hboot 0.93 but you can probaly find a older update working whit the Hboot on you phone
1. conect phone to pc whit usb then boot phone in to Hboot (push on back butten and hold it when you power up phone
2. now in Hboot and Bootloader should be maked whit blue then push powere butten one time and wait around 10 sek. ore to is say Hboot USB Plug
3. now Run The RUU update exe file and do what the program say
Btw this well make Clean install on you phone all the things you installede is gone and i think you losse phone nr storede on phone too
But all the things you aplications have left on sd card well be there
Hope this help
you can try take a look here maby it well be a better fix if it works for you

[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.

Issues restoring RUU Stock

Help,
My desire rebooted earlier today and stayed on the white HTC startup screen. What ever i did, i could not get passed this screen.
I therefore applied the stock RUU update 2.29, however during install a triange appears after the progress bar. On cancelling the update, i have an error stating not all partitions could be updated in particular the Radio.
I have tried the RUU several times, sometimes it does complete the full flash, however during restart, it stays on the white screen,
Has the phone died?
It was a bad to cancel update! For me it seems you got a radio-brick, which is currently unfixable.
You could try to flash 2.3.3 RUU from Fastboot. With any luck, it will boost your phone back to life.
I have managed to get the RUU to fully install, however i still cant get passed the white HTC startup screen.
Its weird that if i repeat the RUU update, sometimes the radio partition will flash, other times it wont, and it then goes into recovery mode. Once in recovery mode the radio will flash, however the phone will still not start up.
does your phone have other hboot than stock? in order to flash original ruu you have to downgrade hboot first. That's what happened to me. If that's the case there's a way but I can't find it right now as I am away from my computer...

[Q] Am i bricked or is There a solution to this problem?

Okay so i have had my Incredible 2 for about 4 months s-off via revolutionary, any way i flashed ukb evolution 1.1 a couple of weeks ago and it has been working great, the other day the phones battery died, and when i went to reboot the device after charging it, all it does is sit at the white HTC screen, and nothing else, then i did a battery pull loaded into bootloader and tried recovery (Ext4) with the same result, stuck at the white screen, so i figured my phone was messed up so i downloaded the pg32img file from condemmedsoul's goo.im, loaded to sd card and let the ruu run, when it prompted to reboot i did, but on the reboot it got stuck on the white HTC screen yet again.
So at this point i need to know is my phone bricked? if so how would i go about flashing the 0.98 hboot (since i can still access bootloader) and returning to s-on? or is there an easy fix that i havent thought of?
