Hello! I bought a used Desire a month ago & the reason I got it on cheap price was that Its Volume Up & Down buttons didn't function.
I rooted it using Automated unRevoked3 ( not needing Vol Up/Down ) & installed CyanogenMod 6.1 but then I reverted back using my backed up ROM manager. I got my android 2.2 back but then I installed Gingerbread theme. Now the phone boots & displays HTC quietly brilliant again & again not processing further. The only thing I am able to access is Power + back button bootloader menu but unable to use Vol. up & down buttons to select the recovery. The phone also get connected through USB showing HBOOT USB & FASTBOOT USB.
I downloaded the official untouched RUU & tried to flash while in bootloader but no result. I tried various PB99IMG.zip but fastboot says no or wrong image.
now I am still getting quietly brilliant screen again & again.
Please Help!
Am having following on my phone.
HBOOT-0.93.0001
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Android ver. 2.33
I had the same issue
My phone would not boot past the alltel image
I ended up having to go into recovery mode and push the proper build.prop through adb.
After pushing the build.prop I figured out that I was flashing a GSM rom to my CDMA Desire.
I flashed the latest CDMA CM6 and was able to boot.
Then I flashed MIUI CDMA version
This is also the reason I created a post for the Mods to create a GSM Desire and CDMA Desire subforum.
Becuase a lot of people will end up having this same issue
but in my case I am stuck with non functioning Vol. up/down buttons. Is there any software which can do an automated job for me while I am in bootloader & connected to phone through USB to Windows/Linux.
or else I have to take my phone for repairs of the volume buttons.
Finally my phone is back in working condition. Got the Volume buttons working by short circuiting them as they were unrepairable.
If the Volume keys dont work to get into recovery, try this

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.

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
after rooting my desire hd we tried with a friend to root his, but his needed downgrade. we followed all the instructions but when it rebooted its self it stack on t-mobiles welcome screen. after pressing the down volume and power button we entered the hboot but it wont do anything. up-down vol. and power buttons wont work.
edit1: i put my sd card in his phone and hboot menu worked.(up down enter button keys worked) but when i chose factory reset it didnt reset
pls help
boot to bootloader, connect DHD with your PC and
a) flash stock rom and start over, or
b) do superuser, install CWM - CWR, do ENG S-OFF and install custom ROM
Good Luck
Hello everyone, I need some of you more experienced than me to give me a hand:
I have a HTC wildfire and if I turn it on normally enter into hboot, but I can not move them by using the vol + - and even with the power button
I remove the battery, turn it on by pressing the vol - and power and enter into fastboot and also they are also locked
I installed the ruu froyo, but when I reboot restores it hangs on the white screen co htc written in green
I remove the battery and start over as usual ..... all blocked
I hope someone help me ke Why Would I care a lot about this phone, thank you very much
Have you installed a custom recovery?
Hey friend,
Have you rooted your device and installed a custom recovery like ClockworkMod 5.x or Revolutionary 4.x????
If not and the problem is persisting with your stock ROM, you should contact HTC support team. Its a problem with your handset, get it replaced.
If you have ROOTed you device and installed a custom recovery, then the recovery build is not supported by your device. Find the correct update.zip file and as your phone is not responding, you can get it installed via ADB tool or any USb installer.
Hi...I have read a lot of threads about this problem and none of them have helped. My issue currently is this "this build is for..." screen will not go away. I have tried down and power, up and power, power by itself and the phone will not do anything. My pc no longer recognizes the phone as connected.
Some history, I successfully unlocked the htc bootloader, using their steps. I have a stock htc one v gsm.
My plan was to install openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img. I am following custom recovery insructions from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618.
The screen on my phone appeared after running the fastboot boot twrp.img command (I renamed the above .img file to a shorter name).
Can you help me?
I was able to get past this screen. I removed my protective cover, removed the sim card/sd card cover, held down button and power button for much longer than normal, maybe 10 seconds and the phone rebooted. I was able to get back to the hboot screen after another power off and down button and power combination.
SOLVED
After more reading, I found I was using the wrong recovery image. I downloaded this one techerrata browse twrp2 primou and it installed without errors. I then powered off the phone, held down button and power button, got to hboot, selected recovery, pressed power button, got that same htc warning, however it only stayed on the screen about three seconds and then TWRP loaded.
Thank you for coming back to say what fixed it. So many people don't.
Remember, if your phone is S-on, to flash the right kernel for your ROM (if you go custom) from your PC
