When i enter recovery mode ADB will not list my phone, it lists it just fine however when my phone is on.. anyone have a idea?
I know it sounds stupid but make sure you have debugging mode on. Also when you mount your device (while its turned on) select the sync mode on your phone. I had to do that and then just play with it while loop is running pull the battery while usb is still plugged in and then power back on while holding volume down. I had to do that over and over and it eventually caught it.
I have debugging mode on, and while it is turned on and mounted as a disk drive ADB will recognize it. Ill try switching it to sync instead of disk drive.
Yeah it should recognize while in disk drive mode but it did not for me one time until I switched to sync. Could have just been a weird fluke but maybe not.
So you switched it to sync instead and while it was trying to sync you pull the battery out and hold the volumn down and the power button then put the battery back in? it will not catch it when i do this!
Not exactly. I switched it to sync and then let it do its thing for a minute. Then I powered off started running loop and powered back into recovery. Your computer shoukd make a little beep sound and the loop might hang up a bit when recovery loads. I then took the battery cover off and pulled the battery (loop still running and usb still plugged into phone) then hold vol down and put the battery back in. It will load into the boot loader from there you select recovery. I had to do that about a dozen times and finally it just caught on and showed my device in the loop as recovery.
Ill try this and post what happens thank you !
So far no luck, my computer will confirm that the phone is connected (by playing the sound confirmation) however it does not seem to be catching within windows or ADB
A thought occurred to me about this ... A couple people have said that it started working for them when they had a new/freshly installed microSD card in their phone. The card that comes pre-installed in the phone has doubletwist on it, including an autorun file. I noticed that until I removed these things from the memory card, Windows was identifying the card as "Media sync powered by doubletwist" or some crap like that. I took all that junk off and it started identifying it as just "Removable Disk." Now, I took off all this before I tried the rooting process, so I don't know if it would've caused any problems. Could it be that this has something to do with it? It doesn't seem likely to me, but I thought I'd mention it.
At any rate, try a new or freshly formatted SD card, see if that helps.
Restarting over and over again finally made it work. now have a fully rooted slide.
Just curious did you restart you phone or your computer over and over again?
Hi All
First thanks for a very good and informative forum.
======================
This was my first post/question and was placed in wrong section. Now it replaced. - Sorry for that!
======================
Information:
HTC Desire
rooted
S-OFF
EXT4 recovery
rom: runnymix...
sd-card partioned(by EXT4 recovery)
AMOLED
Motherboard and ribboncable was changed one month ago on warranty.
Symtpoms:
- Charges normally: orange charging/green full charge. Flashing orange/green without battery
- Cant NOT boot at all
- cant get into bootloader vol down + pwr
- can not be detected buy PC
- Battery inserted and charging: When pressing power to turn on => charge light goes off - and nothing happens. Leaving it in this condition for a while: the phone(mainboard) gets warm.
The phone was functioning perfectly before my son installed bootmanager app. He uninstalled the bootmanager app again without making any changes to the phone. It took long time (like freezing), so he did pull the battery out!!
Any help? Tried a lot of searches, none of them was as my problem.
Thank you
Hi! Have you tried to leave the phone without the battery for 1-2 minutes and tried a reboot?
Take the battery out, unplug it, hold power for 30 secs to get any remaining juice out.
Leave the phone for 24 hours (with battery out etc.)
Stick the battery back in, try again.

What would be the cause for such a behaviour? I'm a little curious (and relatively new to the android scene)!
OT: I've took a look to your troubleshooting guide, good job indeed!

Really no idea, and what I told you to do is not guarantee'd to work, it may help though.
And thanks, it sure has cut down repeat posts about repeat problems by about 90% here.
Thank you all for your replies.
I did leave the phone without battery for several days - same problem.
But I did not try to press the pwr for 30 secs without battery. I will try when I get home.
I tried following:
- take battery out and reset it. then hold vol dwn + pwr -> Nothing
- take battery out and reset it. then hold back + pwr -> Nothing
By the way, if I press pwr to turn phone on, it does not come up, but leaving it for a while it gets warmer.
It looks like the CPU is trapped in a loop and running at full speed!
Could a riff box repair it?
do a battery pull then hold back & power. That usually boots into fastboot mode, see if the phone is recognised with
Code:
fastboot devices
if it is run the 2.3 RUU.
Dear bortak
I have tried. It does not enter fastboot.
command "fastboot devices" returns blank.
command "adb devices" returns empty list
command "adb reboot-bootloader" givers "device not found error"
RUU gives usb error.
have you installed the proper drivers on your pc for it to connect with the phone?
If so, when you attempt boot into fastboot and connect your phone through USB do you get the "device connected to windows" sound, like when plugging in and external driver or usb?
Because if not even that sound gets played it most likely means that your phone isn't even able to get into fastboot or hboot...
windows does NOT play any "device connected to windows" sound at all.
I have all drivers installed correct on my windows 7. My other HTC devices (desire s, wildfire, wildfire s) connects correctly to the PC and I can get the serial numbers of them using "fastboot devices" command.
Now on work, I tried a windows XP - same problem no connection - no sound.
This desire does NOT get into hboot nor fastboot. I think taht the "bootsector" is correpted.
I even used a Goldcard (made thru wildfire) - not working either.
So fixing it thru USB the normal way is not working.
Is there any way to force the device to boot up from SD card??
I have several backups of the phone system on my 8GB SD card.
You have to find a way to re-flash the hboot. That causes the blank screen display. May be a bad hboot install or something :0 Unless you have S-off and can be detected in fastboot, you can reflash hboot, otherwise you will have to try the blind flash method using PB.IMG. Best I could think of.

@Jonicraw, thank you for your suggestion.
Where to get the HBOOT PBxxxx.IMG for this desire?
And how to flash it blindly, since I have black screen and no connection to PC.

Had the same problem. Mine could not charge at all and could not enter fastboot/recovery. Send the phone to HTC. I got back the phone with a new battery.

Same s**t for me ... I tried everything you try and no results !
Come on experts ... somebody must have knowledge to fix this common problem.
What about an "Unbrick Jig" like the one for samsulng galaxy:
MICRO USB JIG DOWNLOAD MODE DONGLE FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S2/I9100/I9000
This device may force the cpu to boot from usb, getting it in "boot flashing" condition.

No such things exists for the Desire.
Tell me what state the phone is currently in now?
Yet no solution for this problem...
STATUS for my device is:
Problem solved by changing the motherboard.
I hoped we could find a good solution for this.
I have the same problem but my phone is already on it's 3rd motherboard. I suspect the battery might be the problem but cannot get any answer as to what the voltages should be. I have already submitted a post headed Battery Voltage but it hasn't attracted a reply.
Hi there,
I got the same problem.
Can I send the phone to HTC even if I have rooted it? I also opened it a few weeks ago to replace the broken touchscreen. Do I still have warranty?
Greetings
Mika
Hey guys,
Running ILWT CM7. Flashed about two weeks ago. My phone has been working fine except for the past few days where it's been constantly freezing, requiring a battery-out and turn on, and rebooting on it's own.
Last time it froze, I removed the battery and turned back on, and it got to the "htc" logo and froze. After ~25minutes, I took the battery out and tried again.
Phone seems completely dead, won't respond to power on, volume down and power on, no lights come on when charger cable is plugged in. When USB cable is plugged in and no buttons or anything on the phone is pressed, my laptop attempts to install drivers.
Tried leaving battery out for 30minutes and trying again, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
Stuck in RUU mode?

Looks like your phone is stuck in RUU mode.
In RUU mode you see the silver "HTC" logo as long as your phone is connected to your computer with an USB data cable. No charging lights will show in this mode.
You can use the following command to boot your phone to Android:
Code:
fastboot oem boot
When that does not work, because your partition table or system partition might be corrupted, then you would have to use the correct RUU (Rom Update Utility) for your phone to get it back to a working state.
When you have a bricked internal memory chip (emmc) than nothing will work properly to restore your phone to normal working conditions.
In the case you have an engineering HBOOT you could boot a ROM from SD card, but that is a far shot.
Best regards,
Catherall

Thanks for the help
When plugged in with the USB cable -> computer, I still get no response from the phone itself. Screen doesn't turn on, still seems dead. My laptop still says "Installing device driver software" to no avail, and phone is still dead. No lights, screen is off, nada. As though it was powered-off.
ADB Devices lists nothing, and fastboot oem boot hangs on <waiting for device>.
Am I out of luck? I could send the phone off for repair, but as I'm rooted I think warranty is void.

Windows seems to need a driver installation for using fastboot. Did you try to automaticall install device driver software? Have you installed HTC sync on your Windows computer?
When your device does not respond at all, and even refuses to connect in fastboot, then nobody can tell that you have been rooted.
Best regards,
Catherall
Sounds like your EMMC is fried, as of now I don't think there's a solution other than sending it back. Many say HTC accept and fix it even though it is s-off

did you get this worked out? i had a similar problem, ended up booting into fastboot by holding the trackpad and the power button, then just selected reboot and my phone powered on like nothing had happened, i was running the same rom.
Hey, did you alreasy tourned your phone to the fastboot mode?
Or does your device still have a black screen during boot?
I rooted this phone and when I was done trying S-OFF, phone would not respond to anything. It would only blink the orange notification light when I pressed Power and Vol+, or it would stay steady green with both Vol keys and Power. But the phone screen would never turn on. So after trying for hours to figure it out. I finally took the battery off, plugged the phone held pressed the power button and then put the battery in place the phone finally turned on and it worked. I turned the phone off again and it was doing the same issue. So I did the same step but this time with power and vol- to get in the bootloader and changed the hboot version to Desire Z. After that phone works perfectly, turns on and off with out any issues.
I did have to try the trick a couple of times idk why but it would work once in a while not everytime i tried it. Hope this helps anyone who also ends up with a similar issue.
Hi All,
My Dad has given me has HTC 10 has the battery drain is crazy, when look at the phone the capacitives back and recent apps were not working only the menu button.
i checked the settings and nothing out of the blue why this was happening, so the first thing i did was factory reset the phone, this didnt resolve the issue.
So i though i would reflash the RUU on his phone but the phone will only show has slow charge on my Windows pc, laptop and chromebook, i cant get it to to pick up in ADB etc...
I also hard reset it too in the boot menu (again even if i load in to boot loader the phone isnt detected ) I have over 10 usb c cables (and these work fine on my HTC U11 and allows mew to go in to debug mode etc.. on that phone)
does anyone know what to do so i can flash it to an old version, his CID is H3G__.001 but i cant find the RUU for this only the HTC__.001 and this fails with incorrect footer etc.. i just also tried installing the update via the sd card and getting the same errors.

The Capacitive buttons and the charge port are part of the same board. You could have an issue with that board. If the phone isn't rooted, to allow adb over Wi-Fi, you might be out of luck.
Hello everyone,
I come here because I have a big issue with my Pixel 3 XL.
It's up-to-date regarding the OTA updates i.e. I have the latest firmware installed.
I've never done anything special regarding "tweaking", such as enabling the developer mode i.e. the developer mode is unfortunately not enabled.
I was browsing the Internet and the phone suddenly rebooted unexpectedly. Then it was in a reboot loop. I pressed power and volume down buttons to enter the boot menu.
The boot loop stopped but I was unable to do anything to make my phone boot properly again. In the recovery menu, there is no option to wipe the cache partition.
There should be roughly 400 MB of free space on the phone. I was thinking that maybe this could have been the cause of the issue.
When the phone is off and not plugged to the charger, the percentage of battery decreases. When the charger is plugged, the percentage of battery does not decrease but does not increase either. It seems I cannot charge the phone anymore. Currently remains 13%.
When the phone is off and I press the power button, the Google logo shows up and the progress bar below has just time to appear before the phone vibrates and goes off.
I don't care much saving the phone, but it's extremely important to me to be able to recover the photos it contains (standard DCIM folder).
Most of what I found googleing so far is about wiping the cache partition, but there is no such option on my Pixel 3 XL.
Since the developer mode (USB debugging) was not enabled when the phone was working fine, I cannot use adb to pull files. I can sideload though. As far as I understood, in my situation it is not possible to enable the developer mode.
I've just heard about TeamWin Recovery Project, and still trying to figure out if this can help me.
Could someone please tell me how I can, at least, backup my photos?
Of course the best would be able to boot the phone normally, but really my first goal is to save my photos.
Is there a way to reflash the firmware with the same version, or another version, without losing data, just like what happens on a regular update e.g. when a new Android version is deployed?
Thank you.

I don't think there is anything you can do without developer mode, but aren't your photos backed up to Google servers at https://photos.google.com?

no, I don't synch with the Google cloud.
I've just read that in order to install TWRP, I needed a unlocked bootloader, which is not my case. Unlocking the bootloader would cause my data to be wiped (for security reason it seems). Is that true?

Unfortunately, that is correct. Unlocking the bootloader wipes the data. I know of nothing you can do.
was your problem resolved?
