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

Recently flash a new rom (done many before) and after rebooting the phone just vibrates 5 times and the led flashes green. It does this going into recovery or normal boot. I can boot into hboot. I updated with latest RUU and it flashed successfully, still does same thing, cant get in recovery or normal, only hboot. Now heres weird thing, I was s-off and now I'm s-on. Soon as i went into hboot to apply ruu i noticed it.
So any thoughts on helping me? Thanks for any help you can give.
Have you pulled the battery and tried turning your phone on? I think this is some sort of diagnostic mode that you're in.

Yep, pretty sure it's qualcomm diagnostics. Battery pull should work.

Pulled battery about 20 times.
If it were me, think I'd try to run unrevoked3 to make sure I had a good recovery in place, then run unrevoked forever again to get back to s-off. Then flash another ROM.
But that's just me. I'm not a dev. So proceed at your own risk. I'd check some of the precautions on the unrevoked website to be sure I had compatible hboot and radio versions.

Phone wont boot into recovery so I can't flash any roms. I had phone s-off with unrevoked forever but somehow it went back to s-on. I never ran the s-on update. I did reflash the stock RUU 2.2 and it still wont boot. Flashed fine but goes to black screen after the splash screen and just vibrates and greed led blinks.
Does the same thing trying to get into recovery. I can only get into hboot.
You can download a new recovery image at the link below. The link is in the third or fourth post.
Rename it to PB31IMG.zip so you can load thru hboot.

I've got an AMOLED screen so the regular recovery works fine. But since I'm not s-off anymore I don't think I can flash a recovery. I tried the 2.5.0.5 on crack one. I was using 2.5.1.2 before.
I think you only need root to flash a signed recovery image. S-off allows you to flash unsigned images.
The original unrevoked tool just gave us root and recovery, right? Wonder if you can run unrevoked while the phone is at the hboot screen? Maybe you can pm one of the unrevoked devs.

I've had this problem with two phones now... The only savior is to flash s-on while still rooted. Then run the pb31img.zip of the most recent ruu since it is signed you can use it with s-on and you'll be stock, and call for a replacement, you'll get amoled since you bought it with it. I've gone through 7 lol.
Well think I figured it out. Turned it on with the usb-data connected and it booted fine. Pulled usb cable and it rebooted. Testing further it went to a black screen with the 5 vibrates when pulling the usb once. Looks like the usb port is fried.
It boots fine if you dont hookup the usb cable now.

this same thing happened to me twice.. you can sometimes even get it to fully boot and pull power cord and sue the phone, if your lucky. mine was a three vibrate though not 5
ok so i flashed DeFrost 6.0k and basically i have no power to my desire what so ever, ive tried everything u can imagine a noob would do and it still dosent work! before i flashed it i installed clockwork recovery but re-installed alpharev because i couldn't partition my sd card from CW.
i partitioned it 2gb FAT = 1gb ext = 128mb ext with 32m swap, help please?
Running AlphaRev Recovery
S-OFF
AlphaRev is not a recovery.
Can you boot in to recovery? If not make sure you flash a desire compatible image.
Did you change hboot image? If yes make sure it's not to small.

Hi.
Ricky's phone wont power on, cant boot into recovery and when the charger is plugged in there is no led lights nothing. Basically dead ?
What does "re-installed alpharev because i couldn't partition my sd card from CW" even mean? You flashed Amon Ra Recovery or did you flash a different hboot?
You also can't boot in to fastboot?
If not, check the md5 of whatever you did with with AlphaRev to see if it matches. If it doesn't I believe this is the end of the story.
Tried the basics, battery off for 30 seconds and back on.. etc?
Your post is a little squiff
I'm Ricky's mums partner and what he did was rooted his phone and he had clockwork mod recovery, he then flashed alpharev and then went back to clockwork mod ???and because he couldn't partition his SD through Clockwork mod he went back to alpha rev lmao.
I give Ricky an old defrost rom I had stored on laptop and as far as I gather he flashed that and then his phone went Erm...........dead.
Battery has been taken out, put back in n nothing happens lol phone is completely d.e.a.d
Hope that explains it a little better lmao
Btw I see a Welsh dragon where in Wales are u ? I'm originally from south
Edit: I see Swansea lol I was a little further up towards neath Ish, actually Ystradgynlais
Once again, AlphaRev is not a recovery, you can't replace clockworkmod with AlphaRev. You can replace clockworkmod with Amon Ra Recovery. So did you/he use the AlphaRev.iso and what did you/he do with it? Only run the iso? Anything with fastboot commands and hboot images after S-offing? Did the phone still boot after this, because flashing a rom can't brick your phone.
Does the phone boot when you do it with volume down + power or back + power?
Lmao ok he replaced clockwork mod with amnon and then went back to clockwork mod and because he couldn't partition sd he flashed amnon again lol
His phone is s/off and God knows what he done with the iso?
As I said nothing happens with his phone, power down, volume down, back button etc etc no led when charger is attached?
Tried a different battery?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Yep tried my battery and still nothing lol
Does the phone connect to a PC via usb when connected, ie does anything at all show in the Device manager?
The led not lighting up when connecting is a bad singe but, you know that you have to use back or volume down in combination with the power button (at the same time)? And to make the guessing game a bit easier, the phone did work normal after changing the recovery images? It only went bad after flashing Defrost?
Yeah I know about the combination mate. Rick is not here at mo but will ask what he did do so you can get a clear picture lol
I'm only telling you what rick told me lol think there's more to it though.

I have the same problem, my phone is "bricked" it does not power on even though my battery is fully charged, and the led does not turn on when I plugin the battery-charger anymore, it is completely dead, "bricked".
right from scratch this is what happened,
i was running AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.3 with my own rom and it was working fine, i decided to go back to defrost as i like the interface better. I downloaded Clockwork mod recovery from xda.richardtrip.org and flashed it, only after that i noticed i couldnt partition my SD card from clockwork mod and reflashed AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT, partitioned sd card, booted my phone to check the partition had worked, wiped data, cache & dalvik & then flashed defrost 6.0k with defrosts recommended radio and kernel, clicked reboot system after flashing and a blank screen was on for about 15 mins so i pulled the battery left it 30 secs tried to boot into HBOOT but it wouldn't turn on
Still doesnt answer the question, does the PC respond at all when you connect the USB cable?

no it dosen't
Next Time use Gparted to partition the card, and has more options (and it's even not that hard to use).
Well, the phone doe not responds... sounds like a brick, but I read once, that a guy had the same problem like you (altough he did not flash stuff like a mad man ), but after 12 hours the phone just started up from nowhere and it's working ever since.

makes no sense. there is NO such thing as AlphaRev RECOVERY. Alpha rev is a way to make your device S-OFF. it cannot in anyway be a sub for a recovery.
the number u wrote (2.5.1.3) would suggest that u had ClockworkMod recovery. any other option is AmonRa recovery.
"i decided to go back to defrost as i like the interface better. I downloaded Clockwork mod recovery from xda.richardtrip.org and flashed it"
again i dunno what u mean by that. if you were runnig a custom ROM u had to have some recovery (clockwork or amonra) so if u wanted to change a ROM u just needed to put it in your SD card and flash. it just makes no sense, do some reading and then try to tell us what did u exactly do with your phone
my htc inspire hd is stuck on hboot screen.. everytime i boot it up the screen is frozen and it says it cant find the pd98 file. so i looked through this thread to find some answers:

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.

Hi Friends,
I did a lot of searching and tried a bunch of things, but I am not very successful. Can you experts please tell me if my EVO is dead/gone for good?
Symtoms:
My Evo was charging (it was rooted and S-Off), I took the charger cable off, and the phone rebooted.
It went to the White HTC Evo screen that comes before any ROM boots, and basically looped their infinitely.
Since then, the symptoms have switched back and forth from Bootloops on the white screen OR STUCK on the white screen, infinitely.
Currently, I am getting white screen boot loops
Things I have tried:
1. Cleared Storage (via Bootloader/Fastboot)
2. Chose "Recovery" from Bootloader/Fastboot (nothing happens, reboots and stuck on the white screen or loops)
3. Reverted back to S-ON
4. Flashed other Recovery zips
5. Upgraded the Fastboot version
6. Flashed the RUU
Current Situation:
Nothing changed guys... and after the RUU flash (out of which the Radio flash was the only component that FAILED) my PC31IMG.zip files are no longer being promoted for updates in my Fastboot/Bootloader menu.
While the reboots continue on the white screen...
Can't access Recovery
Can't run PC36IMG.zips anymore
Am I done here guys, or is there still anything I can do to save my EVO?
Appreciate ALL your help!
Man I have the same problem execept I'm not rooted or s off if you change the battery and let it sit for awhile off it will turn on but it will reboot in about 5 mintues then get stuck on the sprint 4g screen of the htc screen
Hey theneguy,
Thanks for your response... My phone was rooted, but is now S-On and Unrooted, I believe (I can't tell because I am not able to get in the OS).
I can't get into Recovery and my PC31IMG is not being read now...
Any ideas, friends?

same thing happened to my son, pulled sd card and it would boot fine, found and deleted a corrupt .img file on sd...all is fine
Latest Update guys:
I tried flashing the RUU via HBoot/Flashboot, and the update failed, but the progress bar at the screen was full/successful. The on-screen wizard tried to take me to the "Recovery" steps, nothing was fixed.
The computer wizard was stuck at: Sending Signature....
And the phone had the full progress bar from the previous flash.
So I yanked the battery out, cause I had no options left.
Well, needless to say, now, NOTHING turns on. The phone doesn't charge, and blah, blah, blah.
So guys, can someone give me a verdict... is my EVO done for good?
Thanks for your help.
I can't get in the recovery eather I tryed pulling the sd card out it is still doing the same thang

Thanks Mark,
But I don't think it matters anymore... I think with the battery pulled out after a failed RUU.exe installation has truly bricked my phone for good.
It doesn't charge, the battery was good, NOTHING lights up, and I just think it's game over...
