Stuck in a bootloop? Remove the battery. Go into the recovery, perform a full-wipe and flash again. If that not helps then boot youre phone again in the recovery and .....then:
Format youre sdcard from the recovery into swap=0, ext=512, remainder=fat32. You will loose all there is on youre sdcard.
Then after formatting. Turn off the phone. Take out the sdcard and copy the rom to youre sdcard. Put it back in the phone. Start youre phone in the recovery and flash the rom.

Thanks for the quick reply.!
The problem is i am unable to login to my phone. So how will i be able to flash the phone? only if i log in can i use rom manager isnt it? I am a total newbie at this. I would really appreciate it if you could explain this in detail to me!
thanks!

as I know power button with volume down together then wait then use volume down
to highlight recovery then power to enter.

It is explained in the first post of thus forum.
Hold down the back key while pushing the power button.
You will get a menu
Select Bootloader (by pressing power button)
Then wait for 10 seconds on the next menu
Scrol to Recovery with the volume-down button
Then you'll wait ten seconds and get a black screen with red traingle
now connect your phone to the pc with usb
start a adb recovery on the pc (for this you must have a recovery on the pc installed as well as Android SDK) in my case I just run the file recovery-windows.bat
Then you'll get a menu on your phone wit a lot of options, you can even select Ms-usb toggle after wich you can acces your sd card.
I am not a developer but think this is quite it. Download links are all in teh first thread of this forum.

Could you tell me if this would work?
I'll first wipe the phone, including the cache.
Then I'll copy paste the zip file of the Nextsense rom onto an sd card from my PC, insert into my phone, go to recovery mode, go to the sdcard-update.zip menu, and select the nextsense zip file.
Will that work?
Please help me out. and cheers to all u guys who took the trouble to reply so quickly. thanks..

I finally got it to work. All i did was I went into the recovery console, selected factory reset. and it got alright. Only problem is that i think my sd card got busted in the process. No idea what happened to it. It is not even getting detected by my laptop. I guess i ll have to get a new one. Thanks a ton to all the xda guys for helping me out. this forum is really kickass! I shall definitely return to xda to get help on further issues!

reformat your SD card , that should fix it !

Thanks! yeah, formatting the sdcard fixed it. Finally working properly now..

HTC desire stuck in bootscreen
I have the same problem with my desire. While loading a ROM with ROM manager the phone rebooted and started to install the ROM. But while it was installing it i error message came up and the phone froze. And after that it get stuck at the bootscreen. I've read the posts written earlier about this problem, but nothing works.
When I push volume down + power on the phone should think for a second and then show green texts about the SD card etc, but when this message shows it says it can't find anything on the SD card. And when I enter fastboot -> bootloader, it just throws me back to the home menu.. any ideas what to do?

you have to use recovery option in the bootloader

Unless you pushed the NewSense ROM via ADB you're most likely going to get a bootloop. After reading statements in the flashable versions of that ROM, that's what I've gathered: Bootloops.
Either wipe everything and install another ROM or install it the 'old school' way, using ADB.

hi i'm new here,
Currently my Desire totally can't boot up..it stuck on the HTC Welcome screen..
I already remove the battery and restart it..
Also done with the Hard Reset method.
Fyi, my Desire still in stock condition (Android 2.1)
Need some advise regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance guy's =)

Hi I've the same issue as biskut here. The only deference is that have 2.2.
can you please help us noobs
cheers

Where can i get to windows-recovery? I installed SDK but what then?

Similar problem
Hey.
I tried to s-off my phone using alpharev and I had the "waiting for flashing to complete". I tried to check if the proces was running with some commands and it seem as if I managed to restart the proces. I finally gave up and removed the phone. Probably too early because now I can only get bootscreen and Clockwordmod recovery. I'm unable to get further than that and therefore I'm not able to start the s-off proces again.
Can anybody help me?

Flashing a new rom didn't help? Are you sure you wiped everything? Does it boot if you pull out the sd-card?

Would rooting get me around a persistent safe mode?

EDIT - I have inadvertently gone down the route of rooting.... now it's a case of damage limitation! :/
Hi all..
Just as the title says really.. and further to this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762033
My partners Desire will not come out of Safe Mode, I took the phone into a T-mobile shop (UK) today and they were useless. They amazingly advised me to try reflashing the ROM because all their tech guys would do anyway and I'd have to wait 28 days.
Frustrated by this I thought I'd reflash anyway with a signed T-mobile ROM and used version 1.21. The flash was fine but the Desire still boots into Safe Mode. I am going to try the WWE ROM in the hope that there might be a difference in it to the T-Mobile one. It's really frustrating because I know the buttons have worked when I managed to once get the phone to boot normally.
The next option is to root and install a custom rom, however if that fails I need to be able to put everything back to stock so that T-mobile will still replace it under warranty... any advice or suggestions please folks?

The WWE ROM would not flash.

Try to get the phone back in factory-state. Power the phone down and then:
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button..
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

I did Factory Reset when the phone had TMO UK 1.15 and that didn't resolve the Safe Mode problem, are you saying to factory reset again with but now with TMO 1.21 and then try reflashing with WWE 1.21 then?

Nope that didn't work:

Going to try flashing back to TMO 1.15.

Hmm now I am struggling.... with TMO 1.15 I now get

Have you tried getting the zip of the rom putting it on the root of you sd card and changing the name to pb99img then booting to recovery and selecting fastboot?
This wipes everything and installs the rom, you need the zip to do it though, not sure where you can get it for the TMO rom, you can get the generic WWE zip from shipped roms, you might need a gold card.

I can get to the bootloader and clear storage/factory reset but this is for TMO UK ROM 1.21.... which in itself is probably fine except there is this persistent Safe Mode problem.
However I have screwed up I think... basically I had Unrevoked running, what I didn't know or expect was that the Unrevoked app would update my bootloader immediately after I updated the hboot USB drivers... oops!!
So now whether I like it or not I have the Unrevoked boot loader.
The Desire still start TMO 1.21 but again Safe Mode... as a result Titanium will not run and neither will BusyBox so even if I did now decide to try and install a custom rom it would appear that two of the key steps can not be carried out because of Safe Mode grrr!

Ah that's weird... no more Unrevoked bootloader.... unless it dioesn't actually flash the Desire?

1) Do you have a goldcard in your phone? (Customer ID suggests no or that it isn't configured properly)
2) Reboot into bootloader (hold vol down and power on) and try the RUU again (should fix incorrect bootloader)

Unrevoked flashes a new recovery, so if you selected "Recovery" from the bootloader, you would find Clockword Mod recovery.
I would first suggest that you make your SD card into a gold card. Use http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/ as the easy way to make a gold card (all it requires is that you put your phone in USB Debugging mode and then download the right file) to turn your SD card into gold card.
Then boot your phone to booloader and run the RUU on the pc.

Thanks iinga, going to try Gold Card now.
will update here shortly..

Ok keep me updated. Include any (if you get them) error codes

Did you use gold card tool to create the code and patch the SD card?
You could always try another microSD card and create that into a gold card (you'd need to download another img unique to the card)

I did but I think I used the wrong code... just trying again... seems to have got further at least.

Yippee... WWE 1.21 installed... Boo hoo still SAFE MODE!
There is a system update so I'll apply that as well and see what happens.

Is the menu button stuck down?

Yep no change to the buttons
Just applying the latest update..
I don't get this safe mode, I was under the impression it only kicked in if untested/trusted software was used, perhaps there is a hardware issue with the buttons that is intermittent?

[Q] Cannot unroot due to HTC Sync disconnection

Hey guys, pretty much what the title of the thread says. I try to unroot my phone via the HTC sync root, and when I click on the RUU to downgrade the phone, it instantly connects and I get an error message telling me to connect the phone.
Does anyone know how to cure this? It's been driving me crazy for ages now, wish I never rooted my phone in the first place!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...

Lol rooting is better than that stock crap from htc.
If it's disconnecting maybe reinstall the drivers. Pretty sure there is another thread around here somewhere.
Swyped...

You can also run the RUU when the phone is in fastboot. Turn the phone off, turn it on again holding the back button and when on the white fastboot screen connect to the PC and run the RUU again

I want to unroot because me Desire started acting weird since I rooted. Started rebooting all the time & not full booting up. Had enough of it.

Which RUU did you use? As there isn't a FroYo T-Mobile one chances are you've flashed one for an AMOLED screen and you have SLCD

Didn't work. Got the 131 error again. Arghhh, this is driving me crazy!

To get a froyo desire branded by t-mobile you have to run a special method:
Download these two files:
CustomRUU
2.12.110.2-1.21.110.4_release3uop1mw9unpc376h.zip
1.) Move the ota on your sd card and rename it into "update.zip"
2.) Run the installer. It extracts all needed files into a folder of your choice.
3.) Installer should start script automatically. If not, run "installer.bat" manually.
4.) Follow the instructions to the end.
5.) You are now in fastboot mode. Press power button to get into hboot.
6.) Choose recovery and enter with power button.
7.) If the red triangle shows up, hold volume up button and press power button. Now choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip"
When this operation is finished, you have a desire branded by t-mobile running froyo rom.
Sometimes the phone crashes when you install apps from the market. To fix this do the following:
1.) Turn off the phone
2.) Boot phone into hboot (start it with pressed volume down and power button)
3.) Navigate to "CLEAR STORAGE" and enter it.
This comment wipes the phone (so you loose all data) and resets all settings. After a reboot the market should work.

You have to use an sd card to get your working again, as far as i know.
Even if you want to run a stock froyo rom without any branding, you have to create a goldcard with linux and putting it in your phone, before you can run the ruu linked by eddyos.
And by the way, micro sd card readers aren't that expensive.

[Q] HTC Desire HD problem, Phone won't start.

Hi!
I'm gonna go straight to my problem.
I have a HUGE problem with my HTC Desire HD.
A few days ago I was gonna update my phone from Androind Revolution HD 7.0.2 to ARHD 7.0.3.
In this process I accidently erased my whole SD card. I put the SD card into one of those
USB things where you put the small SD-card into and then into the computer. Anyway, I accidently marked
everything and deleted it, So now my phone won't even start. It just stops at the white screen and it says HTC.
You know the startup screen that comes up when you start the phone. And then nothing happens.
I am tired of custom ROMs etc etc, and I would like to revert my phone back to factory settings.
Only problem is I don't know which RUU to use etc etc. I have tried the Hold Volume DOWN button and power button
and then chose restore factory defaults.. But it doesn't work. Please help me what should I do?
I want to revert it to stock as it was when I got it from the store..
I live in Sweden, If that's any help.
Please help, I can't even use my phone anymore...

What you need to do is download a ROM and place it on your sd card. Then turn on your phone while holding the volume down button. You should enter the boot loader menu, choose recovery. From recovery you can flash the ROM you placed on your sd card.
I'm not sure but I think if you want to go to stock you can just use a stock ROM file instead of a custom one, but i recommend sticking with a good custom ROM.
Heres a list of stock RUUs

Also this didn't work, I put the .exe file which I downloaded, on the SD card, and I chose recovery but then a black scree
came up with the cellphone on it and a red triangle with a exclamation mark..
Should I maybe rename the file to something? Or pack it in a zip file and rename it to update.zip or something like that?
Thanks.

You don't need to use a RUU ROM. If you had ARHD installed before and like that, then use that, or anything else on the forums. You just need the install .zip on the SD card, the recovery files are already on your phone. Power the phone on while holding the volume down button to boot into bootloader, then choose recovery and install the .zip

That's the problem I chose recovery and as I wrote before, a black screen comes up with the phone on it and a triangle with a exclamation point..
Or are you saying I should zip the RUU ROM? And rename it to update.zip and then chose recovery or something like that?
I have read a little myself, and the red triangle thingy, I found a solution to that. Press Volume Up and Power Button, So I did and I chose Install update.zip from sd card.
Only problem now is that the installation aborts itself and it says "Signature verification failed" or something like that. What do I do now?
Please help, I don't know what to do

It seems like you have overwritten your recovery.
You can try installing clockworkmod by following this guide
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-custom-recovery-to-an-android-phone-device/
Try the fastboot or flash_image methods.
Once recovery is installed boot in recovery by holding vol down and press the power button, then choose recovery, and then install a ROM that you have downloaded and placed on your sd card
Edit: I highly recommend using a custom ROM and the method i wrote above but if you insist on installing a stock ROM you can use one of the RUUs from the link I posted earlier, the one you mentioned earlier should be fine. The RUU is an exe file that you run from your pc. Just connect your phone and run the RUU and follow the steps, you might have to boot into the bootloader on your phone though. It won't work if you just zip it.
Another method for installing a ROM without recovery is to get a ROM which is in the PD98IMG.zip format. If you have a ROM in this format just place the zip on the root of your sd card, boot into the boot loader and it should start installing automatically, but again you should try the recovery method first.

Thanks for this post man.
Only problem is I can't access the cellphones interface to turn USB debugging on or off, which was on when the cellphone stopped working.
And what do you mean by "Another method for installing a ROM without recovery is to get a ROM which is in the PD98IMG.zip format."
Should I just rename the ARHD 6.3.2 to PD98IMG.zip and then run it? Cause I did that and nothing happens as usual.
The only thing I can access in the phone is the boot menu..
And it seems to install clockwork mod you have to have access to the interface of the phone, meaning the phone must work sort of.. Mine doesn't It doesn't even start so that I can typ in the pin code etc etc... Nothing...
I even tried to boot the phone into boot menu and then chose Fastboot and plug it in via USB and then try to install the RUU .exe file.. Which did not work either..
I have no idea what to do..
I can however access androids own "boot menu" sort of, cause when I come into the boot menu I chose reovery, then after about 20-30 sec the black background comes up with the phone on it and a red triangle with a an exclamation mark and if I press volume up and power button it brings up a menu which I can chose "install update.zip from SD card" Only problem is, it doesn't seem to work no matter which ARHD.zip file i chose...
I am clueless on what to do. Any other suggestions?
Also the PC can't seem to find the phone when I plug it into the USB because as I said when I ran that RUU .exe file while it was plugged in, it told me it couldn't find the phone so..
help..

http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=PD98IMG.zip
Use that PD98IMG.zip !
What you should end up with is a stock Froyo DHD which you can that root, custom recovery and so on !

Download the PD98IMG.zip from Aron Fridrik's post above, place it on the root of your sd card. Boot into the bootloader by pressing vol down and the power button when the phone is off, and the ROM will start installing automatically (I think).
Then follow this guide to root and install a later ROM.

Ok thanks a lot!
Will try this and get back to you.
But what's the difference on Froyo, ACE etc etc? I've never really understood that.
Thanks again! Will get back to you !

Froyo is Android 2.2, ace is the codename of Desire Hd and Wwe mean world wide edition

WOW! It's working now!
Thank you all so much for the help you've given me!
I did what you said, copied PD98IMG.zip to the SD card,
booted into bootloader, it started updating the zip file and when it was
done the phone was back to stock. I then used the Advanced Ace Hack Kit
and rooted the phone, once that was done I downloaded ARHD 7.0.3 and booted into clockworkmod and applied the update.zip which I renamed earlier on the SD card.
And now I am running ARHD 7.0.3 and it's working great! I'm going to save that PD98IMG.zip file for the future in case something goes wrong again!
Now there's just one small problem, When I started Youtube on the phone I got the "force close" message, so my first thought was to uninstall it and install it again and that worked. Now I get the same message (force close message = "The application Sound set (process com.htc.sdm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.) when I press Personalize > Sound > Notification Sound. It doesn't do that if I chose Ringtone or Alarm or any other. Only the Notification sound..
Any ideas what this might be?
I had the same problem when I used ARHD 7.0.2 and I though it was something with the ARHD ROM and that it might had been fixed in 7.0.3 but no.
So any ideas, or should I just check the post about ARHD 7.0.3 and see the FAQ there?
Anyway, thank you all again for the help!
I really appreciate it!

and rooted the phone, once that was done I downloaded ARHD 7.0.3 and booted into clockworkmod and applied the update.zip which I renamed earlier on the SD card.
And now I am running ARHD 7.0.3 and it's working great! I'm going to save that PD98IMG.zip file for the future in case something goes wrong again!
Now there's just one small problem, When I started Youtube on the phone I got the "force close" message, so my first thought was to uninstall it and install it again and that worked. Now I get the same message (force close message = "The application Sound set (process com.htc.sdm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.) when I press Personalize > Sound > Notification Sound. It doesn't do that if I chose Ringtone or Alarm or any other. Only the Notification sound..
Any ideas what this might be?
I had the same problem when I used ARHD 7.0.2 and I though it was something with the ARHD ROM and that it might had been fixed in 7.0.3 but no.
So any ideas, or should I just check the post about ARHD 7.0.3 and see the FAQ there?
Anyway, thank you all again for the help!
I really appreciate it!

Did you full wipe and factory data reset prior to flashing new rom?

Actually no I didn't. After the "root process" I just installed the update.zip through clockworkmod. Should I have done a full wipe and factory data reset before this?

you don't need to rename the from zip to update.zip to install a rom through recovery.
You should do a full wipe and reinstall ARHD, if the problem still persists try posting in the ARHD thread.
Don't forget to move the PD98IMG.zip from the root of your SD card or it will install every time you enter the bootloader.

Allright mate, Thanks a lot!
EDIT: I did what you said Lewelynn and now it works! Thanks a lot! Now it even looks different! =)
It's the small weather clock instead of the big one and a different look on the buttons etc etc.
How come it looks different now than before when I applied the ARHD 7.0.3? Is it because I did a data wipe/factory reset through 4ext?
Also when you do a data wipe/factory reset through 4ext, during that process it asks you if you want to install something about kernel or something else?
Can't really remember what it said.. But what did that mean? I chose No on the first question, and then Yes on the other question which said (recommended) so ofc I chose that.
Is this the reason it looks different now or ?
Thanks again!
You cannot imagine how greatful I am for your help!
Thank you everyone!

I'm not sure why it looks different, maybe stuff was corrupted before since you didn't wipe, or maybe you unknowingly updated from sense 3.0 to sense 3.5 when you updated ARHD.
I don't use the 4ext wipe feature so don't know what those options are. If you are concerned, an alternate way of wiping is to use the superwipe.zip which you will find on the first post in the ARHD thread. Just install the zip before you install a new rom if you want to wipe.
No problem man we all started somewhere.

Alright mate,
Well then that's it, now everything is fixed. Moderator can remove the post or whatever Or he could let it be if someone else has the same problem.
Again! Thanks for everyone's help in this post! =)

Wiped SDcard after flashing custom rom = Bricked!

I think I bricked my HOX.
I have custom recovery installed and lots of battery left. I tried to install a new rom (android revolution) and it worked fine, then I noticed that I had lots of left overs on my sd card from earlier installations. So I decided to format it and cleaned /data /system and /cache. The result is that the phone is stuck at "HTC - Quietly brilliant".
Is there anyway possible for me to connect the phone to the usb and transfer the rom files again to flash them?
Or what should I do to have my phone working again.
I have read the guide and I am currently downloading a RUU file, but I prefer not to lock the bootloader > revert to stock > flash rom again.
Please advice,

What is stoping you from booting into recovery, plugging it in via USB and sticking a new ROM on there... Sorry if I'm wrong, don't have the phone yet but seems like what I'd try to do...

I am trying, but the phone is not showing up in my explorer so I can not transfer any files?? Tried both in recovery and in the stucked mode. However I might be doing it wrong?

When you boot into recovery do you not have an option to toggle USB storage when you plug the phone in via usb?

There is an option under Mounts and storage menu in CWM that allows me to "mount UBS storage" However it is not working and returning an error, "Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"

I guess boot into bootloader and then push your desired .zip over...

USB is not yet working in recovery for the HOX, I don't see any other option then going back to stock....

Oh, well in that case the only reasonable thing would be to also disable the "erase sd-card" feature also, to prevent issues like this
Woaahh just saw your signature, you got a 4s over the SGS II? (I'm guessing) ohh dearrr

why did you format /system? ROFL thats ur problem right there.
Your only options are
a.) wait till recovery is released w/ USB mounting currently there is none.
b.) obtain the correct official HTC RUU (HTC vendor tool) and flash in fastboot. This WILL WORK but you need the exact correct RUU for your specific build

c) use adb push commands
And btw bricked means the phone is completely dead, you can boot but not in rom

Ok, i got this baby running again. Have to say it was real dead at one time too. No battery left and no possibility to charge. Promised myself not to play anymore with it if I bring it back to life again.
However, I read somewere that I could use the iphone charger to get some batterylife to boot it and it sure worked. Left it on and the next day the light was green on the phone. My face went from to
With full battery I downloaded the 1.29 RUU but it still didnt work. Read somewere else agian that I had to relock the phone again to be able to use the RUU. So I did and it sure worked. Brought it back to stock and here I am again with a working phone in my hand.
I couldnt stay away from ARHD so I unlocked the bootload again, flashed it and customized
Must be real real hard to brick this phone completely!
