[Q] Bricked htc desire

Hi all,
I'll give a quick outline here then go into more detail below if you need it. i've tried things suggested in the other bricked htc threads but none seem to work.
I've basically follwed the root guide at droiden, made a gold card and rooted my htc desire phone which went ok. problem was i then installed the suggested rom in the tutorial which was for an amoled screen but i 've got an slcd screen (i'm thick).
The upshot is my htc desire will only start up sometimes and when it does just goes to a loading screen with a bright colourful x then switches off. holding volume down and power or back and power doesn't bring up the boot menu or fast boot. i've tried to flash from one of the ruu.exe files but it just keeps saying my phone has less than 30% charge (it doesn't) and quits the ruu. Is there any way to recover my phone via another method? I've got the coldcard used to root the phone.
Many thanks
Detailed description
i've basically followed the guide to root here at droiden
and installed the rom here de frost rom it suggests.
rooted fine then i flashed the rom (the de_frost one suggested in the tutorial) - got stuck on a colourful X screen and now won't turn on. it'll only turn on if i connect to a pc and open unrevoked but then it just boots to the colourful x screen until it goes off and then i'm back to the begining.
going off that other thread it sounds like i've used the amoled rom when i've not got an amoled screen.
to make matters worse i've followed these two steps here in other threads on here which suggested a new ota or ruu. ota wais a broken link and with ruu.exe i get an error saying my battery is below 30% (it's not) and so it won't go any further.
are there any other options available to me to restore my phone bearing in mind that volume down and power doesn't bring up the boot screen (just white htc screen then colourful X screen) so i can't even do a hard reset that way. Not bothered about wiping the phone's memory just want to get it back so i can start from scratch with the right rom. i have the gold card used to root the phone.
any help appreciated - thanks.

Needs to be a gold card if your phone is network branded
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

ok i did it and it worked first time - it let me get to the boot screen but then after it rebooted it just won't switch on at all now.
any ideas?

Did you let it run till the phone booted?
Take the batt out for a min and pop back in and try. And also make sure you got a good charge
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

yeah it said it was rebooting but then never came back on. i'll give it a good charge and try again.

right it will now turn on everytime but won't go to the boot screen. Volume down power and back power just start it up and it sticks on the loading screen with the x for hours.

What radio have you got installed ? What network and version Rom did you have before ?

i'm not too sure. i bought the desire from ebay. it's an orange branded htc about 2/3 months old. i followed the root guide here (can't post full links as i'm a new member- just stick a www dot infront of)

if it would just go to the boot menu i'd even wipe the thing and start again!

ok for some reason after 24 hours of trying it will now let me go into the boot screen
for some reason i left the room and came back and it's working.
i've no idea what has happened.
it's completely debranded and rooted with a basic rom.
can someone advise me of a good stable rom which will work with a slcd screen?
many thanks

Best Rom I find is MIUI takes a bit to get used to but you will love it if you miss the clock just download fancy widget .. for the HTC clock and weather. just Google it and get the.apk
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

hmmm. can't download anything from the android marketplace. just says download unsuccessful.

for any who has the same problem - think it was a schoolboy error. when it sticks on the x screen the options must be in the background. press volume down then press power and it boots.

HELP! Black Screen

Hi Guys, long time no seen.
so... after a long time not really playing a lot with my HTC DESIRE I've decided to UNROOT it. I have started to be a'normal' user..
I downloaded the RUU, installed HTC SYNC and started to run the RUU installation.
everything went great. At the end I hade a message the phone is ready to use, and there it came to me - the screen isn't working.
My screen is fully black, but the phone and the buttens work. I hear the sound of the phone turning on and afterwards pressing the volume buttens to hear some noise..
When I try to enter the bootscreen buy vol.key down+power I still can't see anything.
I have really no idea what to do!!! Does HTC can maybe fix my device? probably the UNROOTing went succesfully so there will not be any problems.
but i'm afraid they will find out i've rooted and then they will not fix it and maybe even tell me to pay for the sending myself..
I'm living in a far country so it is a real deal.
Is there anything for me to do??? PLEASE HELP MEEE!

F***! You are probably right.
I ran this RUU:
RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.6_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_rel_124362
I'm almost 100% sure my device is SLCD...
Do you have an idea what can i do? I can't run another RUU now because i have to enable the USB debugging and it's pretty complicated to do without a screen.
Is there an option? I've tried to enable the usb debugging using some images on the web but it was unsuccesfull.

Try running
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
Its a newer one so shouldn't be screen specific
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

I'm sorry if you havn't understood me, but i can not run another RUU now because the screen is black, and i can't enable USB debugging so I can't connect the phone to the PC properly.

Do you need usb debugging?
Try it without. Boot the phone into fastboot (power on & back key) leave it for 30 seconds. Then try the ruu.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

I'm trying to, but it isn't going...
I probably need someone to video or printscreen of all the steps for the usb debugging enabling.

I'm on a custom rom so can't help there sorry.
Can you access your sdcard?
If so, you could extract the PB99IMG.zip file and put it on the root of your sdcard. I think there's only 1 input required then
Have search on here on how to extract PB99IMG.zip and see if it works.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

I can access the SD CARD.
I had a search about the file tou asked but I really havn'y understood aa thing I should do. I got really lost.
Can you explain a little? thanks
EDIT: I ran a search in the SD Card and the file you said isn't there at all...

You have to extract it from the ruu you've downloaded and then put it on your sdcard.
Search on PB99IMG and you should find instructions on how to do it.

It's just the missing SLCD driver.
Don't worry, do that what mikep99 says.

[Q] Is my Desire Recoverable?

hey everyone,
i recently tried to do a factory restore on my Desire using a Telus RUU from shipped-roms, however, it did not complete the update (because I forgot about needing a Gold Card)
However, now my phone just goes to a screen with the HTC logo in the middle and and exclamation triangle in each corner. No matter how I try and turn my phone on (Volume Down + Power / Back + Power / Menu + Power) they all come to the same screen with the HTC logo and exclamation triangles. Is there something I can do to recover my phone back to the OS (ANY OS will do)?
thankyou in advance for any help.

Yes all is not lost you need to connect the phone to a computer, pc or laptop and get the adb drivers and the adb software from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
This will allow you to get past the triangle thing and into recovery to flash a rom. Have a read of the link I have you about the adb and the thing your looking for I think is something like adb recovery_windows.bat that you will download as part of the adb stuff.
I have had it a few times and managed to fix with adb for windows
Look at the how to flash a rom section it tells you about the triangle thing you have at the moment
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

hi Dazzlet
i've got the adb software on my computer, just waiting for the java thing to download so I can install it. Looking through the link you gave me, I am not finding any information about where to go from here? I checked out the sections you said I should, but I can't find anything regarding the triangles thing I am getting. Any more help would be appreciated...
Sorry for being a pest.

In the link there is a section with a green heading that says how to flash a rom that is the steps you need to take to fix the problem
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Sorry if I'm being naive, all I am finding is information on how to do this from the phone. Am I just missing something on how to install a ROM from my pc without being able to interact with my Desire? Thank-you again.

Alright managed to figure it out. Was a gold card creation issue. My Desire HD memory card is MMC2, which isn't supported in the gold card tool app. After that I got a RUU to load onto my phone.

[Q] CM7 RC2.0 - Phone boots up, but splash+boot animation never display

Hi. I've searched many forums - XDA, cyanogenmod, but no one seems to have this problem, and I'm not sure if it's a software problem or a hardware problem. Here's the problem...
Up until a while ago, my CM7 RC2 DZ has been fine, but because I don't boot my phone all the time, I don't remember when it started happening (but it must have started after RC2 was released). Upon booting up the phone - whether it was reboot, power on from off state, or anything, the phone first VIRBATES. normally, after that I'm presented with a WHITE SCREEN with green HTC in the middle, shortly following that, the Cyanogenmod Boot Animation. Now however, i don't see that screen anymore, nor do I see the boot animation. But, the phone still boots into the system normally, albeit having a issue with the display still not activating (the button's lights go on, but the screen is off. something I've read about, and still can't fix). This didn't bug me too much, but now that I"m trying to flash CM7 stable, I realize it's a problem - I can't boot into HBOOT or Recovery, because I don't SEE anything... it's just all black after I reboot. Can't boot into HBOOT or RECOVERY to do any troubleshooting or flashing new firmwares(so i can't navigate because there's no control to "Unlock" or "wake" the screen up in HBOOT or RECOVERY mode). All I see is that the display doesn't even have a backlight - it's almost as if the phone is "off" because there's no indication that it's on.
Somebody please help me =( my phone is still functional and usable... so long as I don't try to access RECOVERY or HBOOT.

So what you are saying that when you Hold volume down + power the hboot doesn't show up?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 Using XDA Premium App

correct. The phone does it's boot up "vibrate". the screen does not flicker, does not light up, nothing happens. So i can't boot into HBOOT, RECOVERY, i CAN boot into the phone itself (I know it's booted because my buttons light up). But I no longer am presented with any sort of startup screen ( or any screen for that matter )... making it impossible to access any sort of backup utility, etc ...

So when I go to Clockwork Recovery, and I try to ask it to boot into RECOVERY, it'll reboot, vibrate, and... that's it lol
It goes without saying that I cannot perform a hard factory reset, ... that requires me to get into HBOOT.

Hmm... I wonder if the hboot file got messed up somehow.You have eng-hboot. Do you know how to use ADB by any chance? I was asking if you had the eng-hboot because you need it for adb. I just want to see if adb can find your device because that would be helpful

adb still can detect my device. I just punched this into my Mac Terminal:
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
HT0ARRV02688 device
I don't quite remember the name for it... but was it called Z Combined Root? Had to Temp ROot and then Perm Root using a special file with filename wpthis-Z.ko (this is the only file I remember that was special esp for the DZ)
As for flashing stock, I don't actually know how to do that via adb...

That's good that adb can see it because people with some type of issue don't have eng-hboot and the can't flash the stock rom, well that what's I've been reading. Also by any chance you used visionary to get temp root? If not I think you used the rage method.
Also am not really good using Adb. Sombody will sure come to help you with this part. Anyways let hope we can fix this issue.

I have..dropped my phone I suppose, but it didn't affect the display when I'm actually using the phone... that's the weird part. If the display gave out, I would assume I wouldn't be able to use the phone at all. There's no physical damage to the exterior of my phone at all... it was a pretty light drop, but I didn't see where it landed on the phone...

Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 Using XDA Premium App

bump. i still need help on this... it won't turn on. miraculously, the boot worked ONCE. Coincidentally it was the time I called in to Bell Customer Service/Technical Support. Felt really stupid when it ONLY worked when I was on the phone with the technician and he told me to VOL DOWN + POWER. it worked when He was on the phone with me =_=... therein after I flashed Cyanogenmod 7 Stable, and I have resumed having these problems once again. So I can at least confirm it's not only on RC2 - it's on CM 7 as well. I'm starting to think it isn't the software, but probably a corrupted bootloader.

If you want to be directed to the ClockworkMod menu but can't navigate to it use ROM manager or Quickboot plus to get there. You might to need a ROM on your sdcard or have one installed. The reason for your boot trouble is a file might corrupted in the folder that contains your boot animation. This might not be fixed by flashing a new ROM but its worth a try. Use third party apps like ROM Manager and Quicknoot plus to open up your ClockMod Recovery Menu if necessary to install a new ROM. Hope I helped

thanks, but I"ve already tried that. Because i cannot access clockwordmod, i've been using ROm manager ever since, and it's still difficult to manage because I kind of have to trust that the phone does what it's doing when i tell it to backup or flash something... in the end, it still ends up having to restart to do the flashing, but like I said I can't see the screen to actually know if stuff is actually getting done. I want to know how I can reflash the boot animation, because i'm also quite positive it's a problem with the boot but not the firmware..

[Q] htc marvel / wildfire s - think i bricked it...help?

Hi, ive been lurking on the xda forums for months, and have succesfully roooted and run darky rom on my galaxy s. then i got a wildfire s second hand.

Hello I'm no expert but I hope to try and help OK so you can turn the phone on, and it flickers and then the screen goes black? Does the phone remain on after the black screen? If so what is the longest you have left it?
Also when you tried to connect it to your PC did you try in *rom mode* or *hboot * mode?
If rom mode try in hboot mode and see if your PC can connect to it. If it can try to re-run the ruu and see if it brings it back to life.
It sounds to me like either the bootloader or your radio is ****ed. And neither are easy to fix. But report back with your findings and we'll take it from there good luck.

OK hold down the volume down + power for 10 seconds and then connect to the PC by USB and see if it shows up. And its cool man, always happy to help
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

Holding volume and pressing power causes the flickering to start again...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

And does the PC connect to it? Because our only real hope, since your s-on is that by holding down power +volume down you can get the PC to connect to it and the see if fastboot is still functional, then run a ruu. If it cannot, you could try to take the ruu, remove the rom.zip from it, (run it on the PC with a process moniter, wait until it moves the file to the temporary folder and take it) rename to pg76img.zip put it on the sdcard, boot into hboot and wait for a bit, then push volume up and hope that it runs the update and fixes your screen. If that doesn't work then you have indeed bricked it.
