I just recently tried to flash the Rom DeFroST using the Clockworkmod.
I can now not boot into the Rom (I get a looping splash, the cool colourfull nexus one X animation) and if I try boot into clockworkmod, it stalls at the Telstra splash (still image). I also cannot browse any files on the SD card, I have to remove it and insert it into the adpater.
I'm really afraid I've bricked it :/ Can someone help me? I can still get into HBOOT.

your phone is not bricked.
did you root your phone first?
I have a Telstra phone and I had to flash an official WWE ROM first, then use gold card to root my phone and now I can flash any ROM.
My phone came unlocked, it was unlocked by the company from whom I ordered it from. Yes I did root it first. Atleast, I assume I did...
I used the linux version of rewvoked 3 and it completed with out errors. It has been trying to boot for approximately 13 minutes now and is still stuck on the animated nexus one splash...
It is now into its 21st minute, I somehow doubt it's going to boot

Unlocked and rooted are two different things. Is this your first flash of a custom ROM for the Desire?
Whenever you flash a ROM for the first time it does take a LONG time for it to process. I don't remember how long, can't tell you if 15 min is to long. You can always re-flash by putting the phone into recovery mode manually and using the USB method for flashing.
Yes this is my first ROM.
That's the problem, the phone stalls if I try and put the phone into recovery mode... :/ Unless that too is meant to take a very long time?
Ok, surely 1/2 an hour is beyond what it should take?

you need to start over.
did you read ALL of this before you started (not trying to insult you in anyway, just question) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
it will tell you how to put is into recovery mode and then how to flash using USB
Yes I did, although I did end up following separate guides as my boot loader was 0.83 as opposed to 0.8 and 0.75 or whatever those guides included. Ok, start over. Sounds good... I'll try that, but you'll likely hear back from me!

My boot is .80, I am not sure if it changed when I flashed an official ROM first. I did that to get rid of all the Telstra stuff.
One thing you can try is to flash an official WWE ROM first. Then after you can go onto a custom ROM.
Ok, clockwork mod is working again, now to install thisWWE ROM, what exactly is it, where can I get it and what should I do?
Double post sorry

here is the link to official ROM for the HTC Desire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
They may have a radio in them as well. Once you flash one make sure your desire works. Then try flashing your custom ROM. Many custom ROM's need to have the latest radio so make sure you follow the instruction for that ROM and the radio that ROM uses.

one more thing, once you get an official ROM working, go to market and download ROM manager, use it to flash a custom ROM, it might work better for you.
Ok thankyou! But to me a radio is a small transistor based device that uses variable capacitance in order to change frequencies... What is it in this case?
By the way, I thank you for your help, you've been of great assistance!
EDIT: One more thing, that's a lot of roms, which one do I want? Any? do I want signed or unsigned?
Ok I'm even more confused, they're mostly .exe's, how do I use them?
EDIT: It also says they're not rooted, does that mean I have to re-root my phone again?
Having the exact same problem as you, also a telstra phone.
Boots and gets stuck on the "X" colored animation.
If you get it going, please post here what you did

A radio is the software that works your phone, GPS and wifi portions of the device.
use the first ROM on the list. Hold the volume down key and press the power key at the same time, hold them until you enter the recover screen. it will take about 30 sec to process, use the volume down key to select clear storage follow the instructions and this should set your phone back to factory setting (using the last ROM that worked on your phone). Your phone should be working and you should be able to boot-up.
From this point you will be able to connect your phone to your PC then click on the ROM (exe file) and follow the instructions to flash the official ROM
let me know what happens.
Ok so i need a windows PC? I'm on Ubuntu.
My Windows decided to implode after an update earlier this evening. Will probably leave that to download and go to bed. I'll post here tomorrow with how I get on tomorrow morning!
Sounds like there weren't any ideas in Q&A for this one, and I haven't seen much in terms of not being able to access recovery, so here goes...
I was happily using CM7, and while reading through a Diablo III news page (hopefully it comes out soon ), my phone rebooted into a boot loop. Weird, but I figured at worst I would wipe data and reinstall a ROM. Unfortunately, I can't get into recovery any longer.
If I boot the phone normally, I see the white HTC splash screen for a few seconds, then it reboots. I can use HBOOT fine, but as soon as I try to reboot normally / boot into recovery / boot into Restore Factory Defaults, my phone will reset. Let me clarify...
Pull and replace battery
Boot into HBOOT (volume down + power)
Select Recovery
Phone reboots and reaches CWM Recovery 3 for about 1/2 second, not long enough for me to click anything
Phone reboots into boot loop
I've used HBOOT to flash to CWM Recovery 3.0.0.8, downgraded to the stock radio, run the 2.2 RUU. I'm still running up against the same boot loop problem.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a hardware problem, but I'm anxious to hear if anyone has ideas to try first. Additionally, is there any way to restore to S-ON through HBOOT in case I need to bring this into a Verizon store? I have fastboot.exe that can recognize the device over USB while the device is in HBOOT, maybe this will help?
Thanks!
Current state: Ran 2.2 RUU, S-OFF, HBOOT-0.92.0000, AMOLED, 2.15.00.07.28 radio
Thanks again.
Had this exact issue while running cm7. First couple of from when it was crackflashers. I couldn't find anything to help or fix it. I got a new dinc because I can't afford to be without for long.
Good luck dude.

Thanks for the note. Maybe my fate will be the same. Did you get any sympathy from Verizon?
Doesn't sound like there are even any suggestions using fastboot, lol. [crickets chirping]
Can you flash cwm 2.5.x and try? Not sure if it will help but worth a shot?
sent from a phone
Yeah take out battery, then pull out sd card put it into a adapter and insert it to ur pc. Then find the file that was shipped specifically for ur device it looks something like this PC130mg.zip or some crap like that anyways put that on the root of your sd card. load ur card back to your phone now into hboot(volume down plus power) mode. Your phone will auto detect that file and start to ask if u want to install update say yes boom it will flash back to stock.....however my only concern would be if u need to turn s-ON before u do this.
I did this for a evo 4g and it worked but I turned s-ON first as it was in the instructions I was following. I think maybe the update file checks to see if ur S-off or on. But don't quote me on that.

Yeah, I agree with popasmurf. Put the PB31IMG.zip on your sdcard. Then let hboot discover and update it. It'll be back to stock and youll have to reroot but better than a paperweight.

@phazeone let's say he just does that. Now his phone reboots and is on stock and looses his root, now he can root it again and then turn the S-on by the single file flash from recovery mode, and then use the update file again to flash the phone back to normal stock without root ( if he was taking it back) so whenever u want to manipulate the S security u must be rooted correct?

Thanks for the replies.
I tried this method to flash back to the stock 2.2 image before I started this thread. That's what I meant by "I've used HBOOT to ... run the 2.2 RUU." The stock image seemed to install properly in HBOOT. I have evidence that it successfully went back to stock, since I get the original ! triangle graphic instead of CWM when I try to enter recovery from HBOOT. However, I only see the graphic pop up for a brief second before it reboots again. Trying to boot into recovery or the ROM itself still result in a reboot.
I cannot achieve S-ON without having access to recovery, at least there's no way that I've found to do it through HBOOT.
Any other thoughts? I think it's a hardware problem. It appears the phone is back to stock (except it's still S-OFF), but everything outside of HBOOT causes a boot loop. I stopped in at Verizon this afternoon and they'll be sending a new phone to arrive by Tuesday. At this point, it'd be nice to try all avenues of repair for the future benefit of others that run into this problem.
Probably bad memory chips on the phone. Since it happened all of a sudden during normal use it usually indicates hardware failure.
That is pretty much what I determined. Bad hardware. Sorry for your trouble but is nice to know I'm not the only person to ever have this. Also nice to know I didn't miss something that could've brought it back to life.
I filed an insurance claim. Figured since I have had it for years and never used it I'd take advantage.

You can boot your phone like regular right? Just let it launch up or do you get loops?
Nevermind i see what ur saying. when i was flashing incorrect kernals i would get the same behavior from my phone. So i suggest you take phazeones link and try that file.Because u might have the incorrect file. There might be more than meets the eye make sure u got the right file.
When i searched for my zip file for my evo there was like 4 of them. They had to match what was said in the upper left corner of my hboot screen. So let me knoe if it worked
I wonder if he could just wipe that SD card, place a new Rom etc on it and reinstall. Bricking displays no response you've got a better shot at recovering course your SD card/battery could be bad
Since you're trying to flash the 3.x.x.x version of CWM, that may be your issue. Here's a zip for 2.5.0.5, one of the most stable earlier Recoveries. Flash through hboot as per usual.
If that doesn't work, (I'm assuming that you can boot the phone normally at this point) try re-rooting with the Unrevoked tool.
Then use Rom Manager to flash a newer Recovery (be sure to check Erase Previous Recovery under Settings). If that still doesn't work, I'll see about packaging an RUU in a PB31IMG.zip with a valid version of CWM as the recovery.img within that zip. I'm not sure about the practicality of this final option, but if it comes down to it, I'll attempt to package that up for you.
This sounds incredibly frustrating. Thus my interest in the matter.
There's gotta be a way to fix this... even if it's just long enough to get S-On and keep your warranty valid.

This would work if he could access CWM Recovery, but he can't, thus the issue.
I wonder if he could mount something from within hboot and replace the binary code for the recovery image with a bunch of zeroes and then try flashing another through hboot again.

I was JUST about to post the same topic when I came across this. I have done the stock image restore, restored BACK to hboot 0.92, back to the most current INC radio, and have tried flashing CW3.0 and Amon_RA. Everything flashes fine but the boot loop continues and if I try to enter recovery, it lasts maybe one full second before rebooting again. The only thing that I can think of that would create this situation for me was that earlier I was trying to update the PRL via *228 on MIUI but the dialpad never popped up so I hung up.

Thanks for the sympathy . Like I mentioned, I visited the Verizon store and a new one is on its way... doesn't that mean that it doesn't matter (other than for science sake) whether this gets S-On or even fixed?
[waiting for flash of build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip]
It just seems unlikely that this is a problem with flashing the wrong recovery, or the wrong stock image, since booting into recovery and booting normally both exhibit the same behavior. If I could boot normally into recovery but not boot into a stock image, I would suspect that I had flashed the wrong image. Since both have the same problem, I think it might be something else.
[finished flashing build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip]
Same behavior. White htc Incredible splash screen -> darkness for a second (presumably while the ROM tries to boot) -> reboot.
Alternatively, HBOOT -> Recovery -> White htc Incredible screen -> Triangle / ! error screen for a half second -> reboot.
[finished flashing CWM 2.5.0.5]
Same behavior:
HBOOT -> Recovery -> White htc Incredible screen -> CWM recovery 2.5.0.5 for a half second (this confirms that it flashed properly) -> reboot.
I thought I had it all figured. Root, with Clockwork Recovery, Rom Manager. Nothing could go wrong. Now I am stuck at the splash screen with no Clockwork Recovery.
I searched fourum after forum to find a solution, but mine seems to be different. Just so you know I am 21, and a freelance computer technician so I am not afraid of the command line
What have I done to my device:
=Originally it had 2.1
=I rooted the phone via exploid method
=I installed CyanogenMod 6.1.1
+My computer only recognized my phone in HBoot mode, I think usb debugging is turned off though because I cannot acces my sd while it is in my phone.
I do have a microsd card reader
+I tried Esprimg.zip updates. It works .but I still cannot get into recovery mode.
For extra precaution, I backed up all of my sd card data on my pc.
Symptoms and problems:
+I am stuck at the white My tough slide 3g splash screen.
Holding up and power for at least 30 seconds does not get me in recovery mode. All I see is the white My tough slide 3g splash screen. No Black screen with a triangle(Biggest Problem)
+Holding down and power does get me into the HBoot.
+The recovery option will make the Mytouch slide reboot, but it will freeze at the splash screen.
+The clear storage option executed, but it did not solve my problems.
+I have also removed the battery, sim, and sd card.
Summuaray-
I need to get Into Recovery mode, but when I press up and power it does not work. I only see a white.I never though there would be a day where I could not get into recovery.
Also, I constantly charge the device so it wont turn off during an update.
Do you have S-OFF? If you do it should not be hard to recover.
If you don't I can't think of any other method now. But just to make sure which Esprimg.zip method did you tried? Because that should work in the first place.
Mine says S-On
Esprimg.zip
I used my microsd card reader to put esprimg.zip on the sd card. Boot the device while holding down and power. I let the phone check for the esprimg.zip and then the update was successful.
Conclusion:
I hold up and power and i cannot access recovery mode.
Possible causes:
By doing the clear storage, would that change my device to s-on. Honestly I never noticed s-on until now. However, I was able to root and get clockword mod 6.1.1 and it ran smoothly for a weeks.

No. Only by flashing another bootloader will you get S-ON back. You probably did not have S-OFF before anyways but FYI Esprimg.zip does flash the bootloader so you're stuck on S-ON for now.
If the Esprimg.zip update method was successful it should have flashed back the stock recovery for you. I can't think of anything that could go wrong at this point except that u have a bad or corrupted Esprimg.zip. Did you use the champion build or the ENG build? If me I'd try to download it again and give it another go.
Good luck!
Ok so Esprimg.zip may be bad, and pretty much that is my only saviour;ok I understand.
I was using Esprimg.zip from other guides. Those were 137 mb
This time I used the one from here.
HOW-TO * Flash the Eng-Release to the Slide *6/15/2010
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703076
I am going to assume this the the eng build. It was 137.1 mb.
If this does not work the I guess I have to go champion build.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed
Champion build esprimg.zip is next.
A few more ideas.
manually install the recovery using fastboot.
troubleshooting without simcard?
My spl s-on so would that be possible?
Is there a way to maybe re root?
I read in one post that a guy sold it on ebay..i would hate to do that with just a month of ownership. would Htc make a warranty request even though I bought it used. Besides you only see bootloader and hboot spl s-on so how could they tell?
So you reach the screen where it asked you whether you want to install the update, you choose "yes" and it goes on to flash everything, radio, bootloader, yada yada, and it fails to boot?
Basically with S-OFF you can boot into fastboot and run
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
in this case recovery img is CWM recovery. With S-ON fastboot flash is disable so it's not possible.
EDIT: If you do have the champion build on it's basically stock.
I have this exact same issue right now, I've tried the champion and engineering builds of ESPRIMG but with no success. I can't think of anything else that would be causing this in the first place, which is making it so difficult to troubleshoot. The only difference is that I was using CM7 instead of 6, but the exact same thing is going on. I have tried everything that the OP has with no luck. The only possible cause I can think of is that something was somehow corrupted while the phone was on and sitting on my table...because when I picked it back up, it was off and when I tried to boot, I got splash screen... Any other ideas?? I'm all out and just sitting here waiting for some genius light bulb to go off....attic's kinda dusty though..
With S-ON fastboot flash is disable so it's not possible.
So basically these are my options
esprimg.zip (if that does not work then use different)
Hboot clear memory,
with S-ON I have limited option
and keep it charged.
Although with fastboot and s-on is there something I could do?
Would rerooting be an option

I don't see a root method in the forum that does not involve booting into a usable system.
Wait, you guys were able to flash the esprimg.zip right? Because in the guide when it says it requires root it's for flashing the mtd0.img first before rebooting into HBoot. Since you don't have a working system you cannot do that and if HBoot refuse to take your esprimg.zip then you need to do the Goldcard method. Otherwise I don't see why having root will make a difference.
So at this stage of the game I should do this..
1.get on my knees
2.put my hands together.
3.and just pray?
ok all jokes aside. Continue to try Esprimg.zip and update(all are successful but I still get splash)
I can't change my recovery since I have s-on
and no way of getting s off since i cant get in the phone, not even recovery,just h boot
So in a sense i have a lovely soft bricked mytouch 3g slide.
Later I might compose a list of the programs i had on the device, but i doubt that would make a difference. I appreciate the help and assistance, I am going to click the thank button for you gents.
In the mean while i got a tmobile comet for 136 one day shipping..No rooting on this one cause finals are coming and I do not have time to troubleshoot for hours. I love android cause of custom roms, but not being able to get in recovery mode...ah say no more. I am going to be one of those people who just downloads free software and complain to phone carriers about OTA.
Same here. I held off rooting and all until my exams were over because I know I'm going to go all the way until I get S-OFF.
I know many discourage S-OFF because it can potentially brick during the process but if you do read up and follow instructions very carefully it is really not that risky. And it'll be very useful in situations like this.
I'm sorry to hear you have a soft-brick. Maybe a dev will stumble upon and provides new insights but I afraid this is all we have in the forum for now.
to be honest i skimmed through the post, and im sure you did try this but just want to ask have you tried the official RUU update to see if you can get things back up running that way?
yeah I understand following directions carefully, but when you follow all of directions and get it working,and make backups, but then you turn the phone off and then turn it on. Then all of this happens.
ah let me stop my whining and download more esprimg.zip .
I just want to know what caused it. was it an application, cause if that is the case then I want to know so no one else get hurt.
(one interesting note, avg antivirus said my device was infected with viruses. It said with the apps, I did not clean it. i uninstalled avg. I presumed it was a false alarm cause the phone is rooted with applications with high privileged) Oh well
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
oh well. back to the esprimg.zip
never tried RUU, if it comes in a esprimg.zip then i guess i can try. if not then i do not know how to use it with mine in its current state
S on (so no advanced fast boot options
Hboot only
no recovery.
clear memory
only productive thing is successful esprimg.zip updates
its the official update to froyo, and need HTCsync and the RUU from htc how the installs procces goes i dont really know, but im sure there is a RUU update that you can use to update via bootloader,
ok i got htc sync
and the official exe.
my pc only detects the device in hboot. The device will read usb hboot.
1 might fiddle around for 20 mins to see whats what.
.
If it was like a esmprimg.zip then it would seem more feasible.
goood luck hope you get your phone back up and running
well a week ago it finally booted. I felt that it was a fluke so I pressed the power button to reboot. I tried to turn it back on then it was stuck at the splash screen.
I am now starting to think it is a hardware problem. Either way the unrooted tmobile comet,yes it is small, is doing wonders. The battery life is way better then a iphone 3g.
Just remember guys, if you get an android phone, make sure it is a popular one. That way you are more likely to get support because of the bigger fan base. Oh well it was fun while it lasted. The only thing I hate is that i could have gotten an xbox 360 for the same price. oh well, thanks for the assistance. i will lets you know any further updates.
Hello,
I have for quite some time used leedroids rom lately the the hd port.
That rom has been a little bit unstable but no real big issue. Now however my
phone has gone totally bonkers.
I have leedroids http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038195 due to that i tried to solve the issue. Using the a2sd+ version. Tried the alignment patch etc and spend more or less the entire day studying the forum.
The issue is that the phone is highly unstable.
Most often the alpha rev joker image just keeps rebooting after the joker show up, or it just sit's there. If i pull the battery for a while like a few minutes the phone often boots up but after a while it reboots again. Faster if i open an app. Especially the market app then i get almost an instant reboot.
Did a full wipe ofcourse when installing the rom, did a checkdisk on the sdcard and got new partitions for it both primary of course etc.
I just cant seem to figure out what the error might be. Only thing i havent tried is to install the stock rom. Mainly because i'm not quite sure which one i should use. So if someone could please provide a link the the proper one i would be gratefull. Rooted and s-off one would be good. I'm on the 3 network in sweden but i think they use the standard rom.
no errors while installing
hboot 0.93
Anyone got any ideas?
Well you should start by flashing any other rom using a full wipe.
If that doesn't cut it, you should try to install a htc one. This can be easily done if you are s-off. You should install the latest alpharev hboot with stock partition-layout. Then you can flash a ruu thile staying s-off. Please write back for further help, if the first option didn't help you.

Is there a way to flash the latest alpharev without having the phone booted? In recovery for example? It's a bit dangerous i noticed cause if my phone crash in the middle of flashing that i would probably be bricked i think. But i'm already s-off though should i do it again to get the latest?
To put it simple yes there is a way to do it without being booted.(actually that is the only way you can't do while booted to the system)
And no you should not run the tool itself again. When you are already s-off you can just download a new hboot image from their website and flash it directly. Download:

And flash it by following my directions given here:

You will need to have the sdk installed beforehand.

doesn't seem to be able to connect it via adb. tried the zipfile thing too but it wouldn't allow to install the file using the recovery tool.
Also it seems to be able to boot if i pull the battery for a long time. But as soon as it seems to heat up a bit poof it goes into a reboot. Could there be something wrong with the battery so it get's to hot and reboots?
Might be but you need to be back to stock in order to know for sure. Lets just drop flashing another hboot and return it completely to stock(i don't have time to guide you through that process right now) then you can always reroot afterwards.
Just download the gb ruu here: http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152
In order to flash it, boot up in the bootloader by holding vol down and pressing power. Then connect it by usb and run the ruu.

Ok great thanks, trying cyanomod now to see if i get the same issues. But i put the phone in the fridge for a few minutes, then it booted just fine and i put set cpu to powersave and phone didnt get hot and no reboot. So gonna try cyano and see if the same happends. Will try full stock when i wake up tommorow. Thanks for the help
ok got reboot on cyano too
It seems to be the famous boot loop problem in HTC desire .
To confirm flash the original RUU, if the problem persist then your mainboard has developed fault.

Got it to work for a few hours this morning. Had it turned off and charged it to full during the night. Worked for some 2-3 hours and then reboot.

Help, my DHD unable to load now.. Now stuck in white boot screen and now i cannot even go in to recovery. Who can assist me?
Alright, tell me everything that you did to get it where it is now. The phone boots, which is a good sign.
We need some more information to help you
Thanks for your replies, i wanted to revert back to stock. So i use the ace toolkit to revert back to the version that can flash to stock. After that it re oot but jam at white boot screen. I tried
restore factory settings also no use, wanted to go in recovery also cannot. Hope you guys can help me.
Thanks!
Are you back to son? If so I would just flash a pd98img or ruu.
try take out the battery and then repeat the process it worked for me many times
initially i was afraid that all info will lose or worse the phone will go to brick but at the end everything went well

They are flashed in hboot not in recovery. Its the white screen that says soff etc on top and little androids on bottom.
Place the pd98img file in the root of your SD card.(not in folder ). Pull battery and reinsert. Press volume down and power to enter hboot. It will ask to install the file and press up to accept.
If you don't have a way to transfer the file. Download the ruu. Boot phone into hboot and select fastboot. Then plug in phone to PC and run the ruu
Here is a guide I made a while back. The pd98 I have posted is the sense 2.1 version. In the ruu section the newer on is posted in case you wanted that one. I'm planning on adding a direct link to the sense 3.0 pd98 later today
