this is the first time i am posting, i do hope i can get some help.
my phone is now s-off and i can boot into the Hboot during boot up, but i can't boot into my phone. It just stuck at the HTC logo screen without booting into my phone.
its my first time playing with android and i would appreciate if anyone could help me out here. I've read i think almost all the relevant problems and solution out there to help but i am really confused by all of them. what i need is a simple and clear way of doing it. step by step would really be perfect.
thank you and please be patient with me.. i am a noob..
cheers
Did you install a custom recovery like Clockworkmod?

hi Sleef,
i don't think i have. could you guide me in installing one? thanks
I assume it would involve using adb to push it to your phone and beyond that, I'd probably have to do as much reading as you to be up to speed on how to do that.
Check the stickies in the development section. I'm willing to bet that somewhere in there will be the files you need and some instructions on how to make it all happen.
It'll be worth your while to brush up on using adb.

thanks sleef,
right now i am trying to use the sdb to push the clockworkmod. but the problem is the adb does not recognize my phone.
i have the same problem on my desire z,
i need help
If you have adb setup correctly on your PC, then you should be able to boot the phone into fastboot mode (hold down the trackpad button and press Power, with it turned off), and then when you plug it into the PC, you can do "fastboot devices" and get it to see your phone.
If you have got fastboot working, and you have the engineering hboot installed, then you can do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flasha new recovery image. You can get the Clockwork image for Vision from http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/ (2.5.1.3 is the latest).

Thanks for stepping in. I wasn't sure how much more I could say without making the problem worse.

i guess my adb is working on the PC. For the fastboot mode, can i enter it by holding the power button and volume down, then enter fastboot mode? is that the same?
my main problem is that adb does not detect the phone currently, this prevents me from going further to save my phone.

Yes, that's the other way of getting into fastboot. It should say "fastboot usb" on the phone screen if it's working properly.

So i had my phone rooted, and S-OFF, but wanted to return to stock.
Ran the RUU that i thought was the correct one, and now my Desire is stuck in a black screen. It does not show _anything_ at all.
I did however find out i can get into fastboot, so i'm hoping there is some way to save my phone.
There are tons of guides, but i can't figure out which one to follow. Anyone want to point me into the right direction?
also... if it matters at all, giving in fastboot oem boot, i get this:
... INFO[ERR] boot image does not exist!!!
But i have no clue on how to get a new boot image on my desire using fastboot (and besides, there could be a lot more missing)?
Sounds like you ran an older RUU on an SLCD phone. You could try a newer RUU, get one that is version 2+ (2.14.207.1_ for example). Boot into Fastboot USB, install it.
If that's what happened you aren't bricked, you just have a ROM that doesn't support SLCD screens, so shows black.
So I should be able to install a RUU when my phone is in fastboot? Because when running the exe, it's telling me it can't find a device on the USB port. Or am I supposed to put in some commands on fastboot?

I've installed RUU's via fastboot. No commands you just wait for it to say 'Fastboot USB' and it should work.
By Fastboot I mean boot into the bootloader (pwr + vol down), navigate to fastboot (If you can't see it, once in boot loader, wait about 15secs then press the pwr button and you should be in fastboot), then you should be able to install the correct RUU.
Nothing to do with the Android SDK fastboot
Hi,
I previously rooted, flashed a custom recovery and flashed CM 7.2 ROM on a HTC Desire GSM. It's been a long time so I don't remember the exact steps of rooting and flashing the custom recovery, but I get a "Why so serious" bootup logo every time. I wish to revert to the stock HTC logo. Are there steps to achieve this?
Thanks.
Alpharev.nl there is an instruction there. You basically have to flash the splash image via fastboot
via xda app
1. Download the WVGA splashscreen img file from alpharev.nl
2. Put device in fastboot mode
3. Check fastboot device connectivity from PC by issuing from terminal:-
Code:
fastboot devices
4. Flash with command:-
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 yourdownloadedfile.img
Thanks. I've downloaded the spash image but I'm not sure how to boot into fastboot.
I tried issuing fastboot command in my host PC's terminal as well as an adb shell but there's no such command. I've looked at the reboot menu and there's no fastboot option either, only reboot, recovery and bootloader.
"bootloader" will get u there, just select fastboot n press power to select.
turn off ur phone then hold back + power, that gets u straight into fastboot. Android Flasher is good for changing splash screens if ur not comfortable using fastboot commands. google it

It will take him to bootloader, then he can choose fastboot from menu. "Reboot to bootloader" from multiple roms restart menu takes phone directly to fastboot

Thanks, I figured it out. Back+Power to boot into fastboot, and fastboot command was installed in android-sdk/tools. Got back my HTC logo, thanks again!
Hi,
I searched a lot withouth luck.
After flashing a kernel my amoled Desire is stuck on the HTC logo.
It is s-off with latest hboot.
The problem is that the volume keys are broken..
So I cannot use power+volume down to enter fastboot or hboot..
From the pc with adb devices I cannot see the device.
Is there a way to recover my poor phone?
Or to enter hboot without
thank you very much for your attention
Use back+power to enter fastboot and select "bootloader"
Thank you very much!
It was so simple, but I didn't know this method, sorry.
After some little problems I manage to restore it. :victory:
I write down the difficulties I found, so if someone has the same issues, he could use that.
After entering fastboot adb could not see the device again.
Fastboot commander 1.51 could, but was unable to write a new rom from a zip.
So I write on the phone a nandroid backup (with fastboot commander).
It booted but was stuck on "Optimizing Applications".
From there adb coul see it.
So I rebooted into recovery with adb, flashed the same nandroid of before from the SD and it booted successfully.
Thank you again!
And thanks to all that keep this device alive and help who need it

I too searched for the thread of my problem but couldn't find it.
I was given this Desire and I switched it on, it booted directly to hboot. I thought may be I pressed the volume key unknowingly. But then I tried to reboot it via hboot, I found out that volume keys do not work. So I removed the battery and tried to switch it on again, and it did the same, booted to hboot directly.
It is s-off and does not have any recovery app installed.
What do i do. I really need some help.
P.S. Sorry for my english, and this is my first post/comment in here. I thought this thread somehow matches my problem.
Thanks

Heh guys,
You can enter hboot by holding down the back button then the power button together.
See abaaaabbbb63's reply above
Ps. Thank me if this helps.
But he can enter hboot, so I think the question was different, or I'm wrong?
When you are stuck on hboot, could you see the device with the command "adb devices"?
Have you installed the correct drivers on the pc?
If you haven't got a recovery I think it is not a problem, you can at least flash the original gingerbread ruu.
Have you tried fastboot commander?
Me noob

Umm... I'm a noob, the lowest one... Honestly I haven't done anything to this device coz I have no idea what to do. I tried googling hoping I would find some helpful infos to start with, but I didn't.
So can you please explain how do I get/do the above things??
The phone has been modified in any way by the previous owner?
First you need to connect the phone with the pc.
From hboot, if you see "fastboot" higlighted, press the power button one time to go into fastboot mode.
I cannot find my exact same drivers, but this should be just fine:
Code:
http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/fe66812c2a4bd7da49a109b357afe420/518cba12/5/6/0/4/1/4/adb_driver_htc.zip
Download also Fastboot:
Code:
http://d-h.st/OFs
Plug the phone in the pc, when it asks for drivers, give it manually the folder that is inside the adb_driver_htc.zip.
It should see now the device from the device manager.
Extract the Fastboot.zip folder in a folder you want. (Like C:\).
With the phone inserted in the pc, open cmd (using the search function over start) and navigate to the directory where you've extracted fastboot.
After type "adb devices" without quotes, and see if it lists a device .
Sorry for my bad guide, hope we could figure it out .
You must understand how to use adb and fastboot, that are the tools we use to interface ourselves with the phone, so if needed the internet is full of little and friendly guides
I was trying to look what was installed on a friend's HTC Desire, so I used "adb reboot bootloader", and only used "fastboot devices" to make sure it sees the smartphone. I left it connected for some time while I was looking for some things related to installing a custom firmware and it got hot. I have a HTC Hero and I had it gone hotter and nothing happened, but after I restarted this HTC Desire it kept restarting continously after it played the HTC animation. I can still get into the bootloader/recovery, but that's kind about it, nothing more. Should I just wait for it to cool down, or I might just bricked it?
<<Update>>
It's been more than 8 hours and the smartphone still does this. The thing is the volume buttons are broken, I only have fastboot control over it. The only solution that came to my mind was to flash it with a Touch ROM, but I can't find a fastboot command to restart directly into recovery, I can only get into the bootloader/fastboot. Does anybody have an idea on how to get directly to recovery from fastboot?
Well, in fasboot you select "bootloader", then recovery.

I can't do that because the volume buttons are broken, so I can't select anything.

Download the 4ext recovery.img on your PC. Then boot the phone into fastboot and run the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
It worked, now the phone it's fully functional (except the volume buttons of course) .
I used the following steps:
1. fastboot boot recovery.img
2. wipe both types of data
3. went to advanced menu and used the other type of wipe (dalvanic or something).
Thanks .
hey guys,
i was bored and flashed a .zip on my phone and now I'm no longer bored. Long story, short... I'm booted into the os (almost) with constant errors popping up. I can't get the power button down for 10 seconds to reboot phone and i want to get back to recovery to flash by back up. How can I use terminal (mac) to force back into recovery if phone is not in mode for adb to recognize phone?
Thanks in advance.
Try hold power button + volume up to force reboot. Once the screen goes black release those buttons and hold volume down button to go to hboot
Thanks for your reply. Seems the power + volume is not be recognized. Is there a way with fastboot or adb?
Otherwise, I guess I wait until power drain.

Power + Volume Up should work. But as you asked for adb/fastboot
1) "adb devices" to check if device is recognized
2) "abd reboot bootloader" so the phone reboots into bootloader
3) go to recovery and try a reflash

This should always work as long as the screen is on. It might take 10 seconds or more, so you may not be holding the buttons long enough.
Alternately, you can use:
adb reboot bootloader
or
adb reboot recovery
There is no required more for adb commands, as long as the screen is on. Fastboot on the other hand, requires the phone to be in fastboot mode.
What did you flash? Was it a ROM, and if so did you do a full wipe (data, cache and Dalvik) before flashing?
Thanks for all the replies. It finally died and I was able to jump back into recovery. I was trying to flash a .zip (one+ one theme) to my rom and some things about it (audiofx) was not liked. I guess adb could not recognize the phone since it was basically booted into the os. I just thought there was a way to still use adb or fast boot to push it into recovery. I did not get to try adb reboot boot loader, but would adb recognize phone even with this command?

Glad it worked and that we could help a
adb reboot bootloader should be recognized nearly any time.
