Do you have the SLCD screen, this time around?
Clockworkmod just released a new version of recovery for SLCD screen user's...
I don't know if this could be the problem or not, just sharing what I know.
Hope you get this figured out!

How do u know if it is a slcd screen

If it isn't rooted, then your warranty should be intact, so why don't you send it to HTC Care? They should fix it in no time

Your carrier should provide you a replacement. If you want to fix it yourself, root and follow the guide, but if it turns out to be a hardware fault, you will have to pay for repairs, cause your warranty will be gone when you root it.

You can not root on-device with HBOOT >= 0.7x. And yes, I am ninety nine ****ing percent sure it's NOT usb-brick.

So you could get it repaired at HTC Care in less time you spent trying not to.

If you HAD root before usb bricked, panicked and went back to stock, there is a chance to solve this without servicing the phone.
Just browse my threads, there is a one starting with "Any chance...". I can't seem to grasp how to link with this app
However if usb stopped working on an unrooted stock rom, chances are this is not an usb brick, and you will need to service the phone anyway.
Just be careful, read everything before attempting, and mind that there are different Desire models.
Good luck

Well there is no ready solution, but you can get temp root access without any problems, and hboot has nothing to do with that (just the Linux kernel version).
Contrary to popular belief the exploit needed to get root access just relies on enabled usb debug and not actually having the phone connected to a pc via usb.

Better late a new comer than never. Just make sure you download the HBOOT drivers and install then un-install HTC sync on the computer you use to root. I can provide links if needed.
I'm reading on their page now Thanksssssssssss

Never a problem, man.
I thought I read that it wasnt working on all hardware?
I bought my EVO this past Saturday, HW 0003. Checked back in the Unrevoked thread and it said it wasnt working on all versions.
I guess this isnt the case anymore?
004 was the problem...not 003, and it was newer hboots
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I believe I am on one of the 2.xx versions.
I just used it to reroot a version 003, h boot 210, I think it works on ver 004 but never tried it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Supposedly some people have a problem with the initial attempts with unrevoked 3 and hardware 0004, but if you try to root it 2 or even 3 times it works. IDK why though.

Don't know where to go from here any help would be nice

I was rooted but had to un-root to send my phone back to sprint to get it replaced i got my new phone in today but it has the new ota update 2.3.3 and i was trying to get rooted again but don't know where to find new info on how to root with 2.3.3 if anyone know where i can get this info please help me out. Thanks!!
I think you have to wait for a new root method I'm pretty sure.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You do. There isn't a method yet to Root the new version.
I'm sure there will be soon enough, though
I have a friend with the same problem. 2.3 broke his emulators.
Hope they find a way soon I need root access

You'll be ok. I ran my first Android device totally stock for 4 moths before I discovered rooting.
I doubt it will be too long

patience is a virtue,
Even though this doesn't help.. I will NEVER try "leaked" software for my phone again after it bricked my Inc1. Only officially releases and only ROMs by our great devs.

Just tell insurance you flashed something to it and now it doesn't work. It's not like warranty replacement, with insurance you can get it fixed no matter what you decided to do, so its not illegal. If you want to call insurance feel free to tell the truth

OTA wont help, since it upgrade from one specific version to another.

Learned my lesson with the erris.
I think your best shot is to see if there's anyone near you who's willing to let you borrow their XTC clip. You could buy one but they are rather expensive. Good luck.
What is an xtc clip? I have herd of this but I dunno what it is or how to use it. Pardon my HTC noobness! I had a fascinate.
Sent from my Dinc2.
Are you sure this is even because of 2.3? I flashed it. So I'm kinda concerned now.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
A XTC clip is a piece of hardware that can change bootloader security to s-off allowing you to flash custom roms or in your case return your phone to its stock state.

This happened to me on my Eris a few times but a reboot fixed it. Try reflasing the ruu?

Like the posting above says, re-do the RUU exe that you used the first time.
After that, take out battery, and restart with volume down and power, then
do a factory reset. After you activate the phone with VZN, it ought to be OK.
Well I didn't have much time to mess with it today, but this evening i formatted the phone twice, and you want to know what fixed it, turning back on auto rotation and then back of again...then magically the screen was letting me type normal again...
But now I'm annoyed seeing cm7 out for this phone, with no way to root the leaked gb rom..
We need s off and root for this phone and the gb leak asap.....

You can root the gb leak. You need an xtc clip though

TRUST ME,
your problem is not the leaked RUU.
It's as stable as can be.
it's a hardware issue and you should just file an warranty claim with vz, don't tell them about anything upgraded unless they ask.
The more i use this leaked RUU, the more i believe it's as close to an official to be released build as possible.

Need some help with touch issue

Basically I'm helping therinsem with his sense5 project.. and I flashed an experimental ion kernel and it just gave me a blank white screen after the htc logo, so I pulled battery and restored a backup of jellybeer, and booted it to find my touchscreen not working, so I pulled battery and rebooted and it just sat on boot anim for ages and ages, so another battery pull and boot into recovery, but the touch didn't work there either (4ext) and I flashed an ruu to reset it completely and hope it worked again, but no still not working
Any ideas what's wrong and what I could do to fix it?

Have you tried fastboot flashing a non-touch recovery, then flashing a stock-ish ROM (like ARHD) from there? Also, are you S-On or S-Off?
S-off
That was my first plan for the day! Then if that didn't help I thought id try get s-on to restore a standard hboot

Do you think a new touch panel would work?

I doubt it...you flashed software and it broke, so I doubt a hardware fix would work.

It's possible that your hardware failed independent of the software flash. So it is worth a shot.

Try this explanation, I'm not saying that its right but its possible; the kernel was not properly configured and supplied too much voltage to the digitiser, they are very sensitive things and too much voltage could easily cause is too break
