Hi everybody,
first I want to thanks to all xda members for there hard work.
I read many many threads on this forum trying to fix the problem I have on my desire, but didn't succed with anything........ very sad
here is my situation:
- I get stuck on HCT logo on white screen. I can acces fastboot, my pc recognize the phone with fastboot devices but I can't acces recovery, when I get to hboot than select recovery and press power button I get stuck on htc logo, nothing
I tried Paul's r6 root guide, done succesfully step1 with a gold card, with no error everything working well, but than when I get in fastboot and tried to acces recovery the same thing I get stuck on HTC logo screen and stuck there.
I bought the phone in these situation from a guy that has no history on it. Is from UK orange branded.
When I bought, it i had 0.75 Hboot and after run "RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe"
I got 0.80 Hboot.
So everything I tried I can't pass over HTC logo screen.
The strangest thing is that the volume down button seems not to work: when phone is off pressing volume down and power got me in HTC logo screen, and also when in Hboot only volume up work while volume down do nothing - what could it be?
So please if anyone know or have any ideea what should I tried to make my desire usable.
The HTC logo screen drive me crazy..
many many thanks
make sure your ROM is ready on the SD card for flashing and try getting into FastBoot,,, using back button + Power, and see if you can use the controls to get into recovery,,, its worth a shot
thanks for your replay, I can get in fastboot, but the problem is with the recovery, it doesn't work at all. From fastboot I go on the hboot and than move with volume up button (volume down button as I said do nothing - the strange situation) to the to line with recovery and when I press power button there is no recovery just get the HTC logo screen (not the triangle from recovery or any other recovery).
anothe rhing to mention that I also tried to load the PB99IMG.zip with Hboot everything works ok but after finishig install just got HTC logo screen........
you have a rooted Desire right??
Give it a re-rooting and flash with a brand spanking new ROM follow the instructions here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
I know that - but just doesn't work for me.
I can only acces fastboot and hboot - nothing else, but I tried r6 from Paul roting procedure step1 but can't get in OS of the phone - get stoc on that Logo.
possible a brick
I read the thread about usb-brick-unbrick but I can't do anything cause I can't get in the OS of the phone to lunch the emulator.

Has the phone ever worked since you bought it?
No, it never worked, from the begging it gets stuck on HTC logo screen, and never succed to pass with everything I tried.........
I am in the exact same problem. Can't access recovery, only Hboot i can access.
Phoneing orange tomorow to get my phone replaced.
Hi All
I have a second HTC Desire which does not boot. It goes into recovery and the volume keys do not work for me to navigate in recovery. I have tried rebooting and everything. Is there any way I can restore and get back into the phone? I think it has HBOOT 0.75.
Any ideas?
No, your Desire is not bricked.
Try a RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
What version do I download? Also, what is the process for doing a RUU
Thanks in advance
I tried loading the below and still no luck:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
Any ideas anyone?
Did the RUU apply correctly? Did you receive any error messages?
Or do you mean you still can't navigate in recovery?

RUU applied correctly, no errors. When I switch phone on, the phone boots into recovery and I cant navigate from there with volume buttons. Is it worth trying the latest RUU and would this effect my ability to root my phone later?
Anyone????
Is your down key stuck in?
The Desire should not boot straight into recovery, it goes to HBOOT first where you have to select recovery.
Remove the battery, put it back then tell us exactly what you press, and what the phone does in response.
I switched the phone off, took out battery and then put battery back in. Powered phone. The phone boots to a white screen whiich lists HBOOT number 0.75 and lists FASTBOOT, BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER & POWER DOWN. I cant navigate with he volume buttons so I cant progress at all.
I did the latest RUU last week and now I'm back on bootloader 0.80 and had no problem rooting it.
So this should not be the point
But I don't know if it can solve your problem.

Did you try with optical joystick? If it doesn't work, remove the back cover of your phone, and try to look at the volume controls if nothing blocks the contactors, or if you have a full body protector like Zagg's invisible shield, look if it doesn't stick the volume controlers, thus preventing them to make contact.
Volume buttons dont stick and I cant navigate with the optical track pad either. I think it may be a software rather than a hardware issue. Not sure what though?
Any other suggestions?

Tried all sorts of different RUU but still no luck. IS there anything else I can check.

My Desire always stuck in safe mode
I've tried to downgrade n success but stuk in safe mode again
I've made gold card n PB99IMG success but always stuck in safe mode
I tried to root in a state of safe mode but fail... my htc desire stuck in splas screen..
What should I do with my hTC desire???
sorry if my english langue bad..
Search for the answer?
The first thing you should do is more searching... any possible fixes for your problem are out there somewhere on the internet or this forum.
As far as I can gather your phone is hung at the boot screen. You should be able to fix this from the sound of the problem:
Have you tried to reflash an RUU ? That might be your best option.
Also to get the existing ROM you have on it working try booting to recovery (hold power + volume down) and doing a factory reset (Clear Data)
Give more details for your software and hardware. And what you did before this issue appears.

Why don't you do a small research first in the world of Android?

I met this issue, too
I recorded the behavior in this video:

The center button has something wrong as I must keep one finger pressing on it to let the system work as normal. The worst thing is that I'm in a foreign country and won't get back for several months...
Is there any way to disable the center button? I've rooted my phone but haven't tried to use custom rom.
I got a funny result...
After trying to use the program from unrevoked in ubuntu, the buggy button returned to normal... Hope it won't happen again...
I'll keep monitor it in the following days......
It's still happening...
I've sent a message to HTC and they asked me to reset the phone as it may caused by software. But it looked like a hardware issue...
@dexter93

safe mode
there is a safe mode, hold down menu key when you switch phone on and the phone will start up in safe mode. the phone will display safe mode in the left lower corner of the screen.
To get out of safe mode simply reboot your phone.... If that doesn't work I think your menu button is sticking - try booting while tapping menu a few times...
Btw, does anyone know what for is this safemode? I was googeling but did not find an answer

In safe mode, only some applications could be executed. You could remove some buggy apps in safe mode.
HTC had replied that I must send the phone back to Taiwan for checking, although they have local branch here in Japan. I'm considering to buy some tools and try to fix it by myself...... In this point, Apple does provide better service than HTC...from a sad HTC customer...
I've tried to open it (following the articles found in internet) and do some cleaning. It's still happening...XD
Oh yes
I Try To Hold tarackball+home+power button
I finally get out of safe mode
but menu button, volume, home,and search not working
because I can install applications and do not reduce my HTC desire performance
Sorry if my engglish langue is bad...
Well it is an Hardware issue. I plugged mine to debug and found that some keys are not responding.
Now the hardware keypad works in a very different way, it uses permutation and combination to figure out which key is pressed. Sometimes because of a faulty joint (due to moisture or anything), 2 or more keys may be dysfunctional.
In my case HTC Desire minus Volume, track ball & the track button keys was not working. I thought the fault was with the the volume key, but when I disconnected keyboard cable from main board and booted, my Volume keys worked just fine and it was not going to safe mode, perfect boot.
So there I knew the problem was with my keyboard. I tried cleaning it and unplugged tracker cable too but still it goes to safe mode. Finally I some how stumbled upon this idea of keeping my Volume plus and minus pressed together and boot. It worked.
Remember the combination would differ case to case, it depends upon what part is faulty.
+ & - Vol and Power till complete boot.

Hey guys,
my htc desire was working fine one minute the next it reboots, and gets stuck at the htc white screen i leave it there for 10-15 minutes and then pull the battery out as its not getting anywhere(or so i think at this point) and now when ever i try and boot my phone it goes straight into hboot and i cant use the down vol key its wierd like the buttons are swapped around i use the normal buttons in hboot go into recovery to reboot and they swap, down button is confirm up is up, trackball is down and when i hit reboot, it goes back to hboot, i tried a factory reset and a dalvik cache wipe, any other ways i could try and get my desire back on its feet, warrenty is out the question as its second hand but the phone was working fine and the only thing i dont know is what ruu to try, should i just try them all?
I guess you have a gsm desire.
If you have a branded desire, download the latest one from your provider you can find here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
If you have a unbranded desire, download this ruu:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (start with pressed back and power button or enter bootloader from hboot menu with power button) and then run the downloaded exe on your computer.

Hello there,
Since I have a 'stuck at the boot screen' problem, I am considering flashing a RUU back into my Desire.
Can a RUU be flashed on custom Recovery & hboot (AmonRA, S-OFF etc)?

no, a RUU is flashed on fastboot from your computer, or as a PB99IMG.zip from bootloader.
right i did a ruu and it ran ok and got through fine so thats the phone unrooted now, but its still in the bootloop, i'm gonna take it apart and clean the buttons as they seem to be a badguy in this scenario, but when i go to power on the device doesnt vibrate or anything it just goes straight into hboot
I FIXED IT! turned out it wasnt even broken, the contacts on the volume down button were broken and always touching so that was why it was always booting into hboot, luckily i wanted to unroot my phone xD but now the challenge is to fix the contacts any ideas on ways i could do this on the cheap so i can use the buttons again? currently the contacts are blocked with bluetack in order to stop them touching xD
Hi all, im new to this forum, ive searched for solution but couldnt find it...
I have htc desire pvt1 ht05 (i cant remember rest) and its S-On. Before in it was Official RUU 3.14 Desire Gingerbread, but even when i unlocked sim using desire unlock v 0.9.5 and v0.9.4, it sometimes registered on network but sometimes not, and i decided to go with stock RUU,
I downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
phone booted up normaly, i did some set up, and turn it off to put sim card in it.
Now it wont boot up at all, i tried pulling batery out and in, pressing vol down + power, nothing, i tried pressing back button +power and still nothing, only reaction i get from phone is orange led when conected, and if battery is not inside i got green-orange flashing light...
Is there any way to get into bootloader so i can flash other rom, coz right now laptop doesnt recognise any devices connected, or did i screw up and its hardware failure?
Thanks in advance, Leo!
same problem here
