* in some cases the phone doesnt respond ,and on most,it doesnt function correctly
*power down and boot into Hboot > VolumeDown+Power (at the top of the screen,it should say in Pink " S-off")
* your phone isn't bricked
*you can flash any rom you want,as long as it's for the Desire ofc...Here's a list of all roms > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328

1. If ouyr phone is bricked, it usually wont accept a charge or turn on.
2. youll know your phone is s-off cause youll have the alpharev splashscreen.
3. ?
4. depends on if you have a cdma or gsm model desire. cdma should stick with the few cdma roms awhile the majority of this thread is created4 gsm desires

Can you get to the fastboot screen?
If so, you should be able to flash a stock RUU on your device?
What HBOOT does it have?
0.83 ya i can go there but doesnt do anything
If you can find a stock RUU for Telus you could boot to fastboot, connect your device to your computer and run the RUU from your computer.
In theory this should flash your device back to how it was before you rooted.
wow i cant believe no1 in desire forum is helpful. i shouldnt of sold me x10
You have just gotten all the help you need? Go get a ruu from here and install through usb with phone in fastboot.

Sorry mate. I have tried to help as much as I can but I am not familiar with the telus procedure or any branding at all actually.
Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
Here download this RUU. http://shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Bravo&file=RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851.exe
Put your phone into fastboot mode and run the RUU see if that sorts you out.
im with telus though with slcd
Oh right didn't know. I don't know how to tell between. Looks like your phone could be dead :/

[Q] I cant get nothing other than the black screen with warning triangles. S -on

Just from the day i bought my htc desire ,
it sometimes switched off and does a bootloop . cant fix until i remove the battery
TOday i tried to flash the earlier 2.2 RUU as told in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632
thread.(because i cnt access recovery from bootloader).
Bt when rom is flashing it showed an error that this rom is not compatible.
Then phone showed that black screen with 4 warning triangles. From then no other screen apears.
(Flasing 2.3.3 again also didnt work)
Please tel me a way to flash a new shipped rom.??????????????????????
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632
Please use search button or read before posting
Did you make a goldcard? and get a newest RUU from http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
You can't flash anything with s-on. You need s-off before flashing.
Does S-Off void warranty?
Do i can fix this after S-OFF. Does it void warranty?

CAn i fix this issue or does my phone is bricked???
The issue
I tried to install back the 2.2 version as said in the link u mentioned. (From earlier i wasnt able to access recovery mode. i restarts when clicking it.) Taths y i followed those instryctions. Bt while on the update it showed an error. and from there on only the black screen iwth 4 triangles. Now i cant access the boot loader even. Can i fix this. Please help me?
please provide some more information, what hboot it had before you flashed RUU, is fastboot working? is it branded? what RUU did you flash as first? Did you make a goldcard before process?
You could try flashing this recovery file to your phone. I don't know if you can access recovery with S-on though. http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img
I assume your pc recognises your phone so you can flash files?
You could upload a video showing what your phone does so everyone can see.

what error did it give? I'm guessing you didn't bother reading the intro, and that you didn't have a goldcard.. hence you got yourself in this situation? make a goldcard, then run the RUU again.. this is simple business.. or you can try the riskier way of running the 2.3.3 RUU

[Q] HTC Deire black screen Help please

hi, my friend has an HTC Desire that has never been rooted or anything, all stock, during official ota update it failed and now shows black screen with htc logo and four triangles 1 in each corner, all the fixes i read seem to require s-off
are there any methods without, or how do i achieve s-off from this state ?
Or is the phone just FUBAR ?
thanks in advance for any help offered !
SO that happened during an ota update.
what happens when u pull our the battery
then try booting in recovery
Im pretty sure that ur phone might be in a very bad state, and i dont think you can get s off, unless ur phone was in usb debbugging
try taking it to ur service provider or send it to htc, don't lose hope tho
look at my guide

I NEED Help Guys !!!

Hello Genius Friends,
I just bought a New HTC Desire HD but it says in phone Identity it is HTC Inspire(tm) 4G with Android OS 2.3.3 and HTC sense version 2.1
I have been roaming around the xda forums and its so confusing . what to do and what not to do
I basically just want my HTC DHD or HTC inspire tm 4G ..( whatever it is) to be upgraded from 2.3.3 ginger bread to 4.04 Ice Cream Sandwich .
my phone is S-Off .. I can go to HBOOT thing by pressing power and vol-down key . but not rooted plus I have a feeling its from AT&T as it has some apps from AT&T (like AT&T code scanner, AT&T family Map, AT&T navigator, etc.. )
Can anyone tell me how can I upgrade my phone OS, I heard HTC has announced ice cream sandwich but I came to know it isnt available in my country yet !!
Hoping for Help .....

There is no OFFICIAL ICS UPDATE for HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G, HTC canceled their plan.
There are UNOFFICIAL Android 4.x build. To ugrade, i can't help, but searching and reading forum rules will help you.
Reported to Moderators, hope they will close this theard or move it to General section.
have you custom recovery?
go to bootloader and then to recovery. if you hace clockworldmod recovery (or 4ext rcovery) it´s so easy to get ICS or JB running in your phone

No my phone isnt rooted its just s-off ... i copied clockworldmod rocovery.zip file in my sd card and turned phone off and then went into hboot >recovery ... phone gets restarted and and then it just display a phone with red exclamation mark !! END OF THE STORY !!!
I know that before to upgrade to ICS or JB i need to root with those custom recovery roms
What should I do I m such a NOOB
you need:
htc drivers https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55810636/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
download this and extract in c: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55810636/Recovery.zip
install drivers whith your phone umplugged
plug the phone in charge mode and usb debugging enabled (settings/developer options)
let the drivers install
open cmd and write
cd c:\recovery\
adb reboot bootloader (your phone will reboot)
fastboot flash recovery ext4.img
fastboot reboot
if everything its ok you have now 4ext recovery installed
Download the Rom of your choice, put it in the sd, reboot in recovery, full wipe and flash the Rom

Well, you haven't installed a recovery. Placing it on the SD card does not install it. You need to find a recovery.img (not zip) and flash it from fastboot. What you are seeing is the stock recovery.

Quite honestly, if the Easy Ace Root Kit isn't user-friendly enough for you, you are going to have a rough ride. It automates something that is usually done manually (unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash root), and that procedure is the easier of two (the other being getting S-Off).
As for the splash screen, read my signature.

@Pasculas and @bananagranola : yes bro I did that many times with AOS roms for HD in this community and got seriously bad luck, or either those roms have problems, before this phone i had WFS and i successfully updated to ICS from a rom available in this community; anyways this morning I found a ATT RUU gingerbread ..... (it was a big big name ) so i just installed it and THanks Fully it returned me back to 2.3.3 .... I wish i could atleast had 2.3.5 but all the Rooting and unlocking bootloader went off ! my phone is again only S-OFF .
In a mixed and sad emotion
I'm so confused. Are you S-Off or is your bootloader unlocked? You can't be both. If you are S-Off with no recovery just flash a recovery.img from fastboot.
@bananagranola : When i purchased this phone it is s-off but wasnt rooted .. so i tried to root it by copying the clockwork rom in sd card and then to boot loader >recovery , didnt resulted in anything .. then after few attempts i found that easy ace root tool kit and went for option 1 .. and Finally got bootlocker unlocked and updated to 2.5**** (something something), cwm recovery and Rooted ... then i went for upgrading for jelly bean rom and after that i was crying what the F**K i did to my phone and TIME !!
but something i noticed that my phone is s-off but after rooting with Easy Ace Root Kit , the phone boot loader showed unlocked highlighted with pink !

Okay. First. ClockworkMod is not a ROM, it is a recovery. Second. You do not install a recovery by putting it on your SD card. Third. You install a recovery by flashing a img file from fastboot. Fourth. What does your hboot say, exactly, right now?
Ahan ...
So thats the story i was missing :!
hboot saying
