I debranded my desire, and did an OTA to 2.2. Everything was fine for a day. Then the phone got a little bit wet, but the labels are still white, now it is stuck on the white screen with green HTC logo.
Last night I managed to get it into safe mode, but wheneve i turned it off, it went back to the white screen, I then had to do a recovery, and it would load up.
Now i can get to to the bootloader screen.
I think i need to flash a rom from my SD card. But I cant work out how to do it, could anyone point me in the right direction please !! I cant take it back to T mob, as I have debranded it.
Can i creat a gold card from my phone ?
Can i use RUU with an earlier ROM??
Please help a fellow desire owner out !!
Can you elaborate on
"A little bit wet"
and what action's you took when it happened and what you did
to ensure it was dry before you tried to turn it back on?
it was out in the rain for a few minutes, non of the visible stickers are pink/red.
i turned it on straight away. it wasnt dropped in water or anything.

To do this you need:
1. to do a bit of searching
2. to read a bit more carefully.
What you need is here. Incidentally, it happens to be the first thread of the forum. Now that I did the 1. for you, you can proceed with 2.. And only after having thoroughly read all explanations, you can ask a question about what you don't understand, I'll be more than pleased to assist you with this.
Good luck
f.
P.S: if you understand less than the half of what is explained in the Guide, you shouldn't try anything or your may end up with a paperweight. Solution: browse the Internet to have an explanation of all terms and procedures before you proceed. I'm new to android, but an advanced user in WinMo, so I read, searched and read again 1 week long during my last holiday, and then I bought my Desire, rooted it the same day and started to flash custom roms on it. My first flash was on 27th july 2010.

I take your comments onboard, thankyou, I did the offical OTA 2.2, it worked fine for a day, now it is in a constant reboot cycle.
Is there anything I can do ? I can access the bootloader screen, but it wont go into recovery mode.
Any help greatly recieved
Before: I have went to my installed ROM then when I went to backup current ROM suddenly my phone went blank/off... Please help ....what happened?
After: Please ignore this thread. After panicking a lot due to my dead lovely phone suddenly came into my mind why not taking out the battery and try clicking again the power on button..... and whalahhhhhhhhhh.... it is working again. sorry for the trouble. everything is ok now. thanks
My phone just turned off while it was in my pocket and when i looked at it some writing had showed up on the top left corner saying sd card download complete and then everything went blank
the phone does not charge, no connection to computer, no light, and it wont turn on at all
What could've happened and how can I fix it ?
my guess, I'm thinking you got an update download. Have you tried a battery pull? How about booting into Recovery?

So I just wanted to flash omega rom onto my T-Mobile i9505 galaxy s4. It worked, but the wifi didn't work, and it said that I needed to flash a file through odin. I flashed the file, but an error occurred in odin. Then, I unplugged my phone, and booted it into twrp recovery. All of a sudden, it asked me for a password, which I did not set. So I hit cancel, then did a wipe of the cache and user data. I then tried to go and flash an old rom, but all of my microsd card files were not there! The folders were showing up, but not the files. Then I tried to boot my phone and it wouldn't boot at all. After trying to install a stock firmware through odin, the phone turns on for 2 seconds, then shuts off. I can't get into recovery anymore either.
First, do you mean you have a T-Mobile M919 S4 and you tried to flash an i9505 ROM?
You are able to, but I want to just clear things up.
Let me write a little something, then we'll see if we can get you back to where you want to be.
- Sometimes when things don't go 100%, you gotta take a deep breath, step away and then go over the steps you took to get to the point of where the issue started. When in doubt on what to do next, youccan read around the threads on xda and other resources. After doing a little research and you still have doubt, just ask questions by posting the issue likeyyou're doing now.
The natural reaction is to fix the issue, and to do this and that without being sure. The combination of the latter with a little panic and perhaps not enough patience, can make matters worse. I'm not saying all of the above pertains to your situation, but some of the comments may, as they have to me during certain situations. Anyway, something to keep keep in mind for the future
Now to the issues at hand.
Can you get into download/ODIN mode?
Power down the phone and pull the battery.
Wait 10s and insert the battery but Don't power on the phone.
Hold power button & volume down button at the same time until the screen turns on.
When you've read the above, let me know if you're able to get your S4 into Download/ODIN mode.
Fixed
The problem was that the phone was just completely out of battery, and I was trying to flash the stock firmware onto it but it could not boot into it because there was no battery. Charged it, and could access recovery and the phone booted! Yeah I guess I wasn't patient and made a simple mistake. OP, Please close thread thanks!

Ah, :good: to hear.
I sometimes forget to add that step and another into my tutorial/how to posts:
- Prior to ROM installation, please make sure you have at least 50% battery charge available.
- Please check your usb cable to be in good working order.
The above are 2 reminders are a of couple of the most overlooked steps prior to flashing ROMs and other associated goodies
So I wanted to install a new custom ROM and I all ready had one. It wasn't the first time. So, like usual I download the files needed and put them on my phone, boot into recovery and flash them ( but I didn't factory reset or anything because with the ROM I had I didn't need to for it to work I could just fix the not responding errors) Then i go to reboot and I wait. Nothing, nothing at all. Now I try to remove the battery and try again and now none of my buttons do ANYTHING the only sign of life there is, is when I remove the battery and plug my phone to a usb cable and attempt to charge it, all that happens is a red LED comes up. It's probably due to one of the things i installed on my phone that flashes a red LED when battery is low. Please help me with this. My last resort is to give my phone to rogers for them to fix it because I still have a warranty.
Specs: S3 i1747M Rogers
I had aokp jellybean 4.3 as my ROM
I do have a nandroid but its on my phone's sd card
Thank you for your time and I hope we get this to work.
Can you get into recovery mode or download mode?

No there's litteraly nothing I can do. pressing all the buttons does absolutely nothing. Just stays black and no signs of life
bump. I need help fast with this.
Not sure exactly what you did but I hate to say its sounds hard bricked. Mine was exactly the same, with only the red light coming on for about a minute when cord was plugged in with no battery. I screwed mine up with a file I grabbed without reading properly what it was for and in my haste I installed it. After I rebooted it never came back until I got it back from warranty with a replaced control board. Im guessing they didnt even check the internal memory or they would haven known what a dumbass i was since i voided the warranty doing stuff i had done before that mistake. Glad I had made a nandroid before i pooched it so i didnt lose anything after i got it back.
Yeah after some research I found out I hardbricked it but this isn't the first time and I had a warranty for both( different phones btw )times so I guess I'll just send it out. :c
could just be out of juice, leave it on the charger for around an hour then try and go into download mode.
