[Q] htc desire vibrates and strucked on htc logo - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi.
my device was working perfctly until one day it suddenly vibrated and the screen turned off. i tried turning it on but it vibrates and hangs on the htc green logo. then the only possible way to switch it off is to take the batry out. some times it works normaly but not more than 15-20 mins . i think i was upgrading to froyo and wifi went off. not sure if that is the reason or not. really need an expert advice.
thanks

you have to give phone informations. radio, hboot, branded-undranded etc.

hboot: 0.83.0001
radio: 4.08.00.09
m in pakistan . dun really know wheather is branded or unbranded

anyway i figured it out. it is an unbranded phone. i tried flashing it with unrevoked. problem arises when the phone is rebooted it vibrates and hangs . so the process stops

Do you know if your phone has an AMOLED or SLCD screen?
Many phones with Hboot 0.83 and 0.92 are SLCD. Do you have the original box? if so, take a look on the back, and see if it mentions AMOLED for the Display under the specifications.
Tip: You will know if your phone is SLCD if it displays a black background in low light, at certain angles, and it will have a slight grey sheen to the screen. On an AMOLED screen it will remain the same black. If you purchased your phone before July 2010, then it will be AMOLED.

on the back of the box it says 3.7 inches amoled screen. is it a software issue or hardware?

it;s ok. if it is unbranded this http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe is the last 2.2 froyo official.
download it be aware that it is fully downloaded. put your phone in fastboot by turning it off and then press back button+power on.
After it finishes let it reboot(about 5 minutes) after that you can use unrevoked to obtain root and flash a custom recovery (i suggest AmonRa's). then if you want you can flash custom roms.

can we flash with this official rom even if our phone is s-on mode.if not how can we turn s-off the phone like this(which is not opening)

If the phone won't boot, download the ruu, extract zip from ruu, rename to PB99IMG.zip and then put on SD card. Boot into recovery and it should do its thing. Works regardless of s off or s on ( s off or on doesn't matter at all in ruus. Not related whatsoever.)

This is a step-by-step guide for Newbies..
One tiny bit of advice..
Though you bought the phone from a store, it is likely that it might be branded to HTC. Boot up your phone by holding the back key+Power button. You should do a "fastboot oem gencheckpt" command from the folder where fastboot.exe is installed. This will show your CID number, which can confirm whether branded or not. If you're absolutely sure that it's unbranded, proceed with the WWE RUU based Pb99img.zip

the problem is that on white menu there is no fastboot or boot section the only written thing is ruu

Do you have your original RUU file? Are you branded (if branded, you will need a Gold Card to proceed with the method suggested below) or unbranded?
You could try extracting the rom.zip from the RUU, and copy it to your Desktop, then rename the rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip. After renaming it, you mount your SD card and place it to the root of your SD card using a card reader or another phone that accepts micro sd cards, unmount your sd card and then turn off your phone. Finally, enter bootloader and let the phone run the PB99IMG file.
Also try getting into Fastboot by holding the back button whilst turning on the phone, it should work for you then.

HTC Desire won't boot past HTC screen

Hi everyone
Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I've had my desire for about 4 months, rooted it using unrEVOked sucessfully and have played around with a few different roms.
i had leedroid on it maybe 3 weeks ago and it kept going in reboot cycles, which sucked so i changed Roms. last week it started to freeze occasioanlly with my current rom (i'm using MIUI 11.26). now it is just frozen solid basically.
It is stuck on the HTC screen at bootup. If i use the volume down key and power to boot, it will go into bootloader, but when i go and click recovery, it just reboots and does the same thing, freezes at HTC. So i'm unable to get into clockwork.
Any ideas? I've been able to follow instructions and am pretty good with swapping roms around etc, but i'm really stuck with this one
Any help would be appreciated. I'm also wondering if it is not software related.
mine just did that today, i tried to open a Gtalk message but it kept force closing, so i rebooted, now it wont go past the white HTC screen. i also removed the battery, same thing happens...not too sure what to do next
BTW im using the CM6
Is there any solution to this? Mine is stuck at the HTC logo too. Can't get into recovery and clear storage didn't work.
Anybody?
i had something like it i endet up whit download this Ruu update
.shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Bravo&file=RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
but for this update i think phone need to be unbrandet and i think you need Hboot 0.93 but you can probaly find a older update working whit the Hboot on you phone
1. conect phone to pc whit usb then boot phone in to Hboot (push on back butten and hold it when you power up phone
2. now in Hboot and Bootloader should be maked whit blue then push powere butten one time and wait around 10 sek. ore to is say Hboot USB Plug
3. now Run The RUU update exe file and do what the program say
Btw this well make Clean install on you phone all the things you installede is gone and i think you losse phone nr storede on phone too
But all the things you aplications have left on sd card well be there
Hope this help
you can try take a look here maby it well be a better fix if it works for you

SOLVED Now the wife is getting REALLY angry ... HELP

Hi all,
Desperately need some help to stop me geting a whack off the wife
First off the phone is an O2 branded desire with an SLCD screen.
I rooted it using the unrevoked method and installed leedroid. That all went ok
Now sometimes the phone switches itself off and the wife wants it put back to stock, no problem i said.
So i dont need a goldcard ( i think) as the phone is stll O2 branded.
I downloaded the stock O2 RUU:
RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.0
2_2_release_124865.exe...
Connected the phone to the computer via usb cable and clicked on the RUU exe and followed the onscreen instructions.
PC said everything was successful and i clicked on "finish"
Now, the screen remained black so i left it for 5 mins, still black.
I removed and re-inserted the battery and switched on, i get the vibration and tje screen still remains black
Can anyone help me out as if you knew my wife you wouldn't want to get her angry

Try the FroYo one:

Are you able to boot into the recovery menu? (volume up/down (don't remember which) + powerkey when phone is off).
If so, grab clockwordmod recovery as an update.zip, then you can launch update.zip (which will load clockworkmod) from which point you can of course flash new roms, etc etc.
If not, I think there are other threads in this forum about gaining USB/ADB access, from which you can then load clockworkmod and do the same.
Hi Sparksalot,
I cannot get into anything as the screen is just black.
When i press the power button after reinserting the battery i get the initial vibration so i presume it is doing something just that i cannot see it as the screen stays black.
I will continue to read threads but i suppose if i cannot see what the phone is doing i wil not be able to fix it
regards
Bernie
@EDDYOS,
thanks for that, will download and give it a go
Big up to eddyos yaaay
YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GET IN
Many thanks to Eddyos for posting the RUU.
Downloaded, installed and works perfect

htc inspire hd hboot issue

i did everything i could and put the pd98 in the root of the sd card and then it got to the point where it still cant find the pd98diag.zip and .nbh file but it finds the pd98img and starts to load. then its just gets stuck on the parsing screen.. i rooted my phone a while back using ace hack kit so i could unlock the phone. this issue came out of no where, i was just using my phone and looking at nba scores and it just freezes so i pull out the battery and now this happens...

can you access the recovery by going into the hboot, if so, all you need to do is flash a ROM from scratch, or restore a back up
no i cannot click on hboot, it just automatically reads the sd card and then loads the p98 file and gets stuck on parsing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396253&highlight=hboot
ive been trying to follow this guide but i put the pd98 file from the first link on the sd card then boot up my phone and the phone is still stuck but reads the pd98 file and gets stuck on the parsing screen again and all it says is [1] recovery.
also i dont know if it helps everytime i power on my phone it automatically goes to hboot screen, i dont have to hold the volume down button.
Have you tried removing the p98 zip from the sdcard and then booting into recovery from the bootloader? or removing the sd card completely, and then powering on the phone?
yeah without the sd card when i try to turn it on it goes to the hboot screen and just stays there, i cant move up or down and with the sd card without the pd98 file, the phone looks for pd98img twice and doesnt find it and then looks for pd98 file and doesnt find it and then goes back to hboot screen
and thanks for getting back to me man and trying to help out!
I came across someone else with this issue not that long ago. Unfortunately your ribbons running to your volume keys, or other related hardware, have become damaged or failed prematurely and your volume key is indefinitely stuck down. The only way to fix this would be to replace the failed part yourself. The inspire is difficult to take apart and requires a special tool to remove the camera so warranty may be your best bet.
do you know how much repairs like that usually cost professionally?
If you have at&t, its free for your first one to braeak, it has to be software, so they won't know that its the volume rocker is broken. Because what it mostly looks like is software.

well i cant send it to att bc i didnt buy it from them, bought from a third party. is there a place i can order the parts and do it myself?
also maybe its a volume rocker problem bc if i hold the volume up button with the powerbutton it vibrates a couple of time and the led stays solid green but the screen remains blank. doesnt that show the rocker still works bc the combination of the volume and power triggered a different response then just pressing the power and the phone going into hboot?
hboot
i have a wierd situation. when i go into hboot, it vibrates like heck and it finally gets on. i can chose recovery and it vibes like crazy but it eventually does load. i get to cwm and i can do all the operations. wipe data, partitions etc etc. i install from zip card and it is successful. i reboot phone and it vibes like crazy and eventually the zip does work and the rom is flashed. i just found it peculiar that my hboot is screwy, but i can still flash roms, wipe data, go to recovery and etc. do i have anyting to worry about, or should i just stick with the screwy hboot? idk how to fix the hboot . any suggestions or insight would be surely appreciated.

You have a froyo hboot. Just flash a gingerbread one and all will be normal again. Best thing to do is just use a PD98IMG.

i tried your gizroot and it worked. but when irebooted the device, i got what ihad before. a crazy long vibrate and back to hboot. i managed to get to recovery and flash the android revolution. im afraid of rebooting device as it will probably get stuck again.
i have run out of patience. lol. how do i flash that image. ?every time i load bootloader it says that it cant load pd98 image. its actually been that way ever since i rooted my phone.
Here is a PD98IMG of the gingerbread hboot. I've tried this one and know it should work. Just give your phone time to recognize it.

[Q] Desire remains black after RUU

Hello,
first, i read the troubleshooting guide with slcd and blackscreen.
Ok, i got an Desire which shows while starting just the htc logo on white screen. I thought installing an RUU would fix this.
I am not allowed to post a link jet... The RUU is called Ruu-Desire 2.3 GB update.exe
This is the RUU i installed, in another forum it was sayd, that this would work on every phone except t-mobile branded. Mine is vodafone branded.
The RUU stopped at 59% upgrading the recovery.img and completey exitted. The phone shut down and remains black.
Before the RUU it was on version 2.29.62.2, or something like that.
Now it does not start in fastboot or hboot. Remains black and adb/fastboot does not recognize any phone.
So, is there a way to get it back to life?
Greetings

Help please: recovery.img specifically for HTC Desire 820 Lollipop required.

Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster
Short story: I just need a straight link to a recovery.img file specific to my device which is a HTC Desire 820.
Long story:
- Upgraded my phone to Lollipop.
- Unlocked my HTC phone.
- Followed a guide on the net regarding flashing TWRP recovery image and rooting (did not realise I was unknowingly flashing a previous / incompatible version on my phone).
- Now stuck with a phone that can't boot to recovery or factory reset (because it then tries to boot to recovery when doing this).
- I can get into the boot loader screen and fastboot, but selecting HBOOT and then RECOVERY makes my phone vibrate a little and flashes a message, but then goes back to the boot loader screen.
- I tried to flash another recovery.img file, but this just made it so that the HTC logo is displayed and doesn't get passed that.
- Now I just want to flash the lollipop recovery.img so that I at least can root the phone and not necessarily install TWRP.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
So... no ideas?
lol *bump*

Thanks for responding and providing guidance @tomal.
The model of my phone is: HTC DESIRE 820 Model Number: OPFJ50.
Thank you in advance.
Power of your device and connect the device to the charger when it is in power off after connected you quickly press vol up+power button or vol down+power button then you find a charging logo then release the buttons after tha the phone goes off automatically then you quickly press vol down button only it gets the bootloader then you flash the only lolliop stock official recovery.img because twrp of 64 bit having some bugs.but they fix it you wait for some time.
keep on pressing the power button for a minute and then restart into the os .
still searching for the recovery.img compatible with htc desire 820.
please if you get let me know at [email protected] .
Flash stock official recovery....it having no bugs while booting,restarting,formatting the phone. but it can't handle the ota updates. You have also wait for some more time they will updated best recovery or stock ruu or how to s off.
Hi, I don’t know who or were to ask, my HTC Desire 820 was working fine, no problem at all. I got a voice chat and while listening there was a loud noise and the device shut off. After a few seconds it booted back up and didn’t load android, it was on a constant bootloop. I couldn’t turn it off or anything. After a while it shut itself down. Assuming the battery was low I connected it but to my surprise it wasn’t charging, the orange LED was blinking. I leave it plugged in for more than one hour but the situation continued, the phone was not powering on and the led was flashing. At that point what I did was to remove the back cover and reset the battery which make it begin to charge normal. After 30 min I tried turning it back on but the boot loop was still there. I could manage to enter fastboot and perform a factory reset. After it finished the device was booting back up and at a certain point the bootloop start over. The device was not rooted, bootloader locked, everything stock, since I didn’t want to mess with it because it is my only phone at this moment. I think on unlocking bootloader, and rooting to try install a custom rom or a backup save from someone. I have been able to unlock bootloader but TWRP doesn’t load, the device will not go into custom recovery and I have tried several versions. Now I don’t have the stock recovery anymore. I can go into bootloader, but nothing else.
I have to mention that now I have more than 24H dealing with this with no luck or signs of fixing my phone. Please, please any one that can help I will be very grateful.
My phone info is the following
HTC Desire 820 dual sim.
A51_DTUL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
OS-2.10.709.2
SEP 25 2015
SO in this way you have to s off the htc desire 820 and flash the ruu means os zip file in bootloader or type the command fastboot rebootruu in fastboot mode then flash the ruu with fastboot files with the help of computer.

But as far as I have read there is no way to S-OFF the Desire 820 so far. And I havent been able to find any RUU on the web
It is there to s off but you have to pay some money with the help of sunshine

I have used it before with another device I had. and to be honest I will be glad to use it again. the big problem here is that the phone is not booting, so I cannot install sunshine to gain S-OFF.
If there is any other way to get it done or something to allow me boot to the OS it will be great
The only solution for this is wait for a few days.because the htc desire 820 is the first model to get android 64bit.so the developers are not able to develop thirdparty code for it.if the device is locked go to the service center and give the phone they are all having the more stock roms to flash it.
