HTC Desire wont boot to android or recovery

I recently followed the unrevoked guide to root my phone and put on the clockworkmod custom recovery image (for slcd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618). Everything appeared to go smooth, unrevoked said it was a success, been using it for a few hours now and all of a sudden it wont boot sits at the htc screen, I also can't boot into recovery mode (shows a black line at the top of the screen then powers down). Its a brand new telus desire. Anyone know where i go from here to trouble shoot this/reset the device.

run unrevoked again.

After running rom manager and asking it to reboot into recovery it no longer will. Stuck at HTC screen.
So it's safe to just re run unrevoked? Won't try and reroot my custom rom or anything?

What did you do to solve your problem? I have the same problem.

[Q] EVO will not load into recovery after root?

Hi all. First let me begin by saying I'm NOT new to rooting and I have a pretty good knowledge of what I'm doing.
Here is my problem. I WAS rooted before, and used Rom Manager/Clockwork to preform Nandroid backups etc.
I recently received a replacement EVO (cracked housing) and wanted to root again, which I have, with SU permissions and S-OFF using the latest version of unrEVOked. (this is after the December update to 3.70 with hboot 2.10) No problem with rooting, however when I want to do a nandriod back up, thru Rom Manager, (or alternative methods) I get stuck on the white EVO boot screen. I CAN NOT boot into recovery? Weird right?
EDIT: When I try to enter recovery in any fashion, it hangs on the white EVO screen...forever until I do a battery pull.
EDIT: Sorry, I CAN enter bootloader, however once there, I attempt to enter "recovery" and it bounces me back to the menu. This happens both via ROM Manager and the traditional way of "POWER" button and "Vol Down".
EDIT (again): Okay..I used Amon RA to preform a nandroid back up,(which worked) and now I'm stuck in a bootloop! Ugh! Trying to restore my Nanadroid backup using RA..hopefully that works and I can revert back to Clockwork.
Jesus...
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Let me know what you do to fix it. I'm just going to put the 3.7 RUU on sd card and restore to default? Here is the link. Hopefully this works.

I have the exact same problem!!!! I cannot boot into recovery! It throws me back to the main hboot screen. It freezes when I try to do a recovery and I need to return this stupid phone because it keeps freezing and re-starting on it's own and I've tried flashing the oem rom many times already. I have "s-off" and Sprint will know I've rooted the phone ... please help!!

I just get stuck with the evo screen but like all of you i can not get to recovery... any ideas

Do you guys have working ROMs on your phones and just can't get into recovery? Or can you not boot up at all?

Looks like your recovery didn't flash. Put this file on the root of your sdcard, boot into the bootloader and select yes to update, the reboot. This installs CWM 3.0+.

I'm in a similar situation after initially using Unrevoked, and I've tried flashing AmonRa and Clockwork from a PC36IMG.zip. Neither has gotten me a recovery screen.
Beyond that I can't seem to get a ROM to boot more than once. I can install ROMs with varying degrees of success, but invariably a reboot leads to the phone simply hanging at the white HTC EVO 4G screen. Flashing a new ROM generally works. Once. But then I'm constantly afraid of my phone rebooting for any reason, and I know it'll mean that I have to wipe the bastard and start all over again.
Any suggestions on the recovery issue? Perhaps fixing that will fix my reboot problems.

Try installing clean, wipe everything. With TB, backup the apps, ect. When you restore, restore only apps and data, not system settings.

Just to be sure I 'wipe everything' properly, which steps are you suggesting? Should I choose Clear Storage from the bootloader menu?

Just for clarification, I've tried to RUU several times and it has not fixed the issue.

I just used a modified HBOOT to allow me to erase my recovery, system, and userdata partitions via fastboot. After that, I flashed AmonRa 2.3 in Bootloader and it worked! I now have a working AmonRa recovery. I'm attempting to flash CM7 now, and I'll let you know if that works.
I can't take credit for thinking of this, I used someone else's guide, but I'll happily post the software and the steps if people are interested.

The fix was apparently temporary. The attempt to flash CM7 led to my Evo hanging at the white screen after rebooting.
The only way I've managed to boot into a ROM is pretty crazy... I flash the 3.70 RUU from a PC36IMG.zip version at bootloader, then I flash clockworkmod, then I flash SprintLover's ROM. If I flash in that sequence, I can get SprintLover's to work, but it will hang at the white evo 4g screen if I reboot. It's insane!
Anyone have any advice? This **** is bananas.

What I have done so far:
(the good):
#1 I used the "clear storage" from hboot and it works.
#2 I re-flashed "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed" from my PC via USB and this works too! It gets the phone back to factory settings wiping out everything and booting up normally.
(the bad):
#1 The phone still freezes and turns off sporadicly.
#2 I have lost root BUT the HBOOT screen still shows security is off (S-OFF) so still I cannot return the phone to Sprint!
(the ugly):
#1 From the "HBOOT" screen I choose "FASTBOOT" which takes me to the "FASTBOOT" menu, from there I choose "BOOTLOADER" and it throws me back to the "FASTBOOT" menu creating an endless loop.
#2 From the "HBOOT" menu I choose "RECOVERY" and it re-starts but it than freezes at the white HTC EVO 4G screen. I then have to take the battery out to re-boot the phone. Again another loop!
Any Ideas or any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever Jump down to Q&A and download the S-ON tool. You need to load up a recovery image, CWM or amon_ra and flash that ^ then re-run the 3.70 RUU and you should be set.

[Q] Hboot to CM7 led to stuck splash screen

Hi guys, tried changing my HBOOT to CM7 via Fastboot. Everything went perfectly fine (it is S-Off ) but I seem to be stuck at the splash screen.
What happens is, the phone powers on, it goes to the 'Why so serious?' splash screen reboots about twice then it's just stuck there.
Not sure what to do. Help would be much appreciated.

pull battery, put back in, boot into recovery (power + vol- button ->recovery) and then flash your new rom.

Full data/cache wipe before ROM flashing.

i presume you wanted to flash some DATA++ roms since you flashed CM7 hboot
well note that you still need an EXT3 partition, at least 1GB.
some thought that data++ meant no ext needed, which is wrong

InsertCoin GB
My Desire stucks on the white htc-screen with the InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1 A2SD+
I was trying reinstall so many times but without any success.
With InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1 CM7 and RCMixSv07 all is ok.
The Desire is s-off, CWM3.0.0.5, Hboot CM7, 6,5GB fat32, 1 GB ext3 and 500MB swap.
Before installing I wiped all .
Pls. pls. pls. any ideas?

[Q] After Successful RUU install phone stuck on white splash screen

For the past few weeks I had been running ViperOne rom. I liked it very much and it was for the most part stable, but I decided to try out UnsenseOne-KitKat. I tried installing the zip file using TWRP, just as I had done with ViperOne but when I tried rebooting, my phone only went to the bootloader and wouldn't even try booting to system.
I had a problem similar to this before when I was trying to unlock and root my One, so I thought I was fix it the same way I did then. I downloaded the vzw m7 RUU from here and installed it using fastboot. The RUU installs just fine and everything in the command prompt says that it was successful. But when I try to boot my phone now, it hangs on the white htc splash screen.
It also hangs on the white htc splash screen when I try to enter recovery. I'm at a loss, and I am now thinking I may have gained a new paperweight today. Has this ever happened to anyone? Or does anyone know how to fix this?
If it helps, this is what I see on my bootloader:
relocked
m7_wlv pvt ship s-off rh
cid-vzw__001
hboot-1.44.0000
radio-1.12.41.1112_2
opendsp-v33.120.274.0913
emmc-boot
UPDATE: Okay, so I tried installing instead the 2.10.605.1 RUU (I had been using the 1.10 version before) and now instead of hanging at the white htc splash screen, it shows the slpash screen for a few seconds and then goes back to the bootloader saying "Active cmdline overflow! (1073 Bytes)" This is new... any ideas?
UPDATE2: I googled the Active cmdline overflow problem and saw that for some it worked to downgrade hboot to 1.44. I got the hboot zip from here. And now no more Active cmdline problem! YAY! Only now my phone is once again hanging on the white htc slpash screen.
UPDATE3: Haven't done anything else since the last update, but I did just notice that when I try to boot into recovery, I get a black screen with a picture of an phone with a red triangle on it. I get a similar screen when I try to boot into "Factory Reset" but instead of a red triangle there are two green arrows making a circle. Also when my phone is plugged in my phone now once again shows the charging animation (phone turned off). This was not the case before.

That sceeen is the stock recovery. Flash this in ruu mode. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/twrp/Twrp_2.6.3.4_RUU_Mode.zip. That should get you twrp recovery. From there do a factory reset and then flash a rom, and see if it boots. If it does use firewater to unlock the bootloader again.

So I did what you suggested, and the .zip file flashed just fine, no errors, but I'm still stuck at the "Entering Recovery . . ." screen.

Nevermind, I downgraded to hboot 1.44 and I was able to enter recovery. Thanks!

What's wrong with my HTC One X?

In the begginings: Buy, enjoy blabla... Unlock bootloader, flash cwm 6.0.3, root, enjoy... and than i want something more! I try to install a customROM and i choose ViperX 4.1.1. . I read a lot of about this, than i flash philz touch, and install the rom. It works for weeks without any problem, and once on a nice morning it was frozen when i want to watch the time on it (one day before this is install tegra overclkock, and set the number of cores to 2, this may be the culprit?) reboot->white htc logo-> and its stucks on the white HTC screen (not boot loop) when i try to turn on (not the "htc quetly brilliant", just white background and green "htc" logo). I can boot into bootloader, but boot into recovery is difficult. A few days ago it was easy, bootloader->recovery and done. But now its stucks on the white htc screen too. Approximately in every tenth time i can boot into recovery (i dont now how, i try it on charger, on pc/usb, without charger, with full battery, with low battery, and sometimes its succeeds. I use Philz Touch 5.15.9 because i read that its recommended to install ViperX 4.1.1. I try to flash CWM recovery but its freezes now on the first "page", before i install ViperX i used this. TWRP recovery simple doesn't works on my phone (i try with and without thouch, but the volume buttons can't scroll, and the touch doesnt works too). So i have to use Philz Touch recovery. So, in recovery i did a backup from the stock ROM with CWM, and now i tried to restore with Philz (it can be a problem?) but its doesnt works, (the first time i can turn on, but after i make a call, it freezes and can't be turned on anymore, just the white htc logo...) i tried to install viperx, but it doesnt works too, but it can reach the boot screen, or even 1-2 times the home screen . After this i tried to install the ViperX or restore the stock in several combinations of wipe cache, data, factory reset, dalvik cache, flash boot image but i cant bring it to life...
Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong? Maybe a solution?
