[Help Needed]Desire HD not booting beyond Htc screen

I have S off, clockwork mod installed and can flash rom, but my desire hd doesn't boot beyond Htc boot screen.I also tried to go back original rom 1.32 and 1.72 but RUU gives error that I need to get a new Update utility.
Also tried from fastboot, I get "not allow" and I wonder why when S is off
Pls advice how can I revive my Desire HD
Thanks in advance

In your bootloader you can see if you have s-off. Anyway you better post this topic in q&a because the mods remove this without warning!

Probably you have radio s-off but not hboot s-off which would be why your fastboot gets denied.

Someone Swyped my idea.

im having the same problem i updated my phone and all was well ran for a week or 2 then last night i desided to try a modded rom so i backed up my stuff everything seemed to work well but now wont boot passed htc screen so i tryed to install my backup the same im pulling my hair out at the mo trying to work out whats gone wrong if i find any thing i will let u know but i thing ive killed my htc hd

same as you but after a reboot and restart restore and restore and patience everything is ok.
wait 2 minutes while the HTC screen start (HTC green)

Thanks ..but what to restore ?

If you're using any 3 series clockwork recovery that will prevent boot on a 2.2 based rom. Flash a 2 series clockwork and you should be ok. Tonnes of people are having this issue.

Urgent help please ... HTC desire

Yesterday, my phone notified me of an available update (probably android 2.3). I downloaded the update, used a file explorer to move the update ZIP from download folder to the SDCard root and renamed it to update.zip. I rebooted into recovery (ClockWork) and selected 'apply update.zip from SDCard'.
It was going fine and looked like a successful update, however ... the phone kept rebooting and never started.
What happened exactly is:
- HBoot became 0.93
- The phone never starts, hangs at HTC logo (no quietly brilliant) for a few seconds then reboots.
- I think I lost the clockwork recovery (I get a picture of the phone with a red rectangle and an exclamation mark instead of the recovery screen).
My phone was rooted using unrevoked 3
Can anyone please tell me what happened to my phone? is there any fix for it or is it gone forever?

Moved to Q&A where you will hopefully get more help than in General.

Never apply OTA updates on rooted phones!
Use a Ruu to go back to stock then root again.

I tried using a RUU, but it cannot detect the phone. (I cannot get passed the HTC logo)
Can I apply the RUU whe the phone is in HBOOT?

1st try in fastboot.. and if not detecting than.. in fastboot got to hboot and than try

THANK GOD!!!!
Finally, I got it.
I applied a RUU with the same rom number as the update and I finally got to the Android interface.

Ohh well done..

HTC Desire Boot Loop after Rom Backup - Solved but .....

I am a newbie in this rom flashing land.
I managed to root my Desire this morning using unrevoked 3 method. It was successful. I then installed Rom Manager (free) from Market and tried to make a backup. It ran smoothly until the phone rebooted. The reboot looped at HTC logo.
After searching around, I go to Recovery and restore the newly backup image and the phone went back online. I thought I had bricked my Desire already. .
I have the following questions, please enlighten me:
1) What might cause the shocking loop?
2) In the unrevoked 3 program, I notice that the "Disable Security" was checked when I managed to root the Desire. Does that mean I have S-OFFed the Desire as well in the process? If it is still S-ON, how can I tell and if I download a ROM and try to flash it (I still don't know how), will there be any undoable problems?
Thanks

1. Probably ROM Manager - use the flashed recovery - it works all the time.
2. Unrevoked3 does not S-OFF your phone, you need alpharev for that. To make it sure turn off your phone and reboot to bootlader (Holding VOL- and POWER keys). For the ROM part, check each ROM's thread for requirements to avoid problems.

Hi nqk.
I have only been looking into rooting for a couple of weeks and had the very same experience as yourself. (and the security off bit too). Bricked already!!
Before I had S-Off I tried both CM7 and oxygen, they both worked ok, but if your reason for rooting is the gain memory with the desire I would certainly say go down the alpharev road and use a new HBoot.
The stickies on the development section really do explain it well for us "noobs".
Currently I am running Oxygen 2.1.4, Alpharev oxygen r2 HBoot and S-Off running a 1GB ext4 partition.
Just so giddy with the amount of space available!!

I flashed new custom rom with s-on and stock hboot. Everything is fine so far.

few times when I have rooted using unrevoked3.21 and run a backup from Clockwork recovery 2.5.0.8 (?) it has stuck on the htc screen... not a great problem as I have usually flashed it straight after - but still annoying

[Q] Desire Z - Custom ROM Install problems

Hello All,
(this may of been asked before, but I havent found it yet)
I have a UK HTC Desire Z (Simfree). Until around 3 days ago, I didnt want to root it and mess around with custom roms. When I finally decided that il just flash a rom to it (as ive now got a shiny new Galaxy S 2), i was faced with a maze. and three-quarters.
I had it updated with the OTA update when it came out, and found out that its impossible to root that, so i downgraded to froyo using a thread in xda developers and the stock rom -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
After doing that, I set about rooting the device with VISIONary. All went fine.
When I wanted to put ClockworkMod recovery onto the device, thats where im completley baffled.
I got the program 'ROM Manager' off Android Market, and then flashed the recovery thingy onto the device. yesterday night when I was doing this, i was getting a phone and a red triangle with a ! and didnt know what to do. Then i found a menu (Think it was called 'Android Recovery' or the like) and didnt know what to do. So, I reflashed the stock froyo rom (mentioned before) and started again.
When I rooted this time, I used a guide on Cyanogen Mod - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting and it all went sucessfully. MD5's matched and everything.
I installed Clockwork Mod (Using ROM Manager), but when i try to boot into the Clockworkmod recovery thing, I get that red triangle and ! thingy mentioned before.
After I reflashed stock froyo AGAIN, i got the clockworkmod menu, BUT when i selected anything and pressed the power button, it just took me to a screen with the ROM Manager logo and thats it. Nothing else happend.
I also tried flashing a rom by selecting it in the ROM Manager App, it basicilly rebooted the phone, and reinstalled Stock Froyo all over again.
Can someone PLEASE Help me, Im pretty much clueless now. All I know is the phone is 'S-OFF'. Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance, Aman.

When you press the power button in cwm, it takes you back and since there is nothing to go back to, it just takes you to the cwm logo screen. Just push the trackpad to get back.

I actually had a case of clockwork gone wrong on my G2. I'm assuming you have basic knowledge of adb, so try pushing the ckockwork recovery.img via adb. Solved all my problems, can't boot to stock recovery if it doesn't exist

[Q] Desire Bricked, stuck in fastboot, 4 triangles, no HBOOT, no idea what to do.

Hello,
I have a HTC Desire, and recently got a new One S and thought I'd try and revert the desire back to an unrooted state so I could sell it. Bad idea.
The desire is S-OFF, rooted running a custom ROM. I thought it would be as simple as running an RUU, but something went wrong somewhere.
I'm now stuck on a screen with four triangle exclamation marks in each corner. Trying to boot into hboot isn't possible I just get the same screen again. The only way I'm able to interact with the phone is by plugging it in via usb and fastboot.
I've tried flashing the stock recovery back on (from alpharev) and it said it was successful but nothing changed. Everytime I try to run any RUU I get a file open error (screenshot attached).
I really don't know what to do, any help is much appreciated.

Tried bortak's troubleshooting guide? It's stickied to the top of Q&A

Thanks,
After reading the guide I figured I needed to reflash stock hboot (from alpharev) managed to do this through fastboot and the sdk (android flasher gave an unknown error), after this I re ran the RUU, all working now.
