hey everyone,
i recently tried to do a factory restore on my Desire using a Telus RUU from shipped-roms, however, it did not complete the update (because I forgot about needing a Gold Card)
However, now my phone just goes to a screen with the HTC logo in the middle and and exclamation triangle in each corner. No matter how I try and turn my phone on (Volume Down + Power / Back + Power / Menu + Power) they all come to the same screen with the HTC logo and exclamation triangles. Is there something I can do to recover my phone back to the OS (ANY OS will do)?
thankyou in advance for any help.
Yes all is not lost you need to connect the phone to a computer, pc or laptop and get the adb drivers and the adb software from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
This will allow you to get past the triangle thing and into recovery to flash a rom. Have a read of the link I have you about the adb and the thing your looking for I think is something like adb recovery_windows.bat that you will download as part of the adb stuff.
I have had it a few times and managed to fix with adb for windows
Look at the how to flash a rom section it tells you about the triangle thing you have at the moment

hi Dazzlet
i've got the adb software on my computer, just waiting for the java thing to download so I can install it. Looking through the link you gave me, I am not finding any information about where to go from here? I checked out the sections you said I should, but I can't find anything regarding the triangles thing I am getting. Any more help would be appreciated...
Sorry for being a pest.
In the link there is a section with a green heading that says how to flash a rom that is the steps you need to take to fix the problem
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Sorry if I'm being naive, all I am finding is information on how to do this from the phone. Am I just missing something on how to install a ROM from my pc without being able to interact with my Desire? Thank-you again.
Alright managed to figure it out. Was a gold card creation issue. My Desire HD memory card is MMC2, which isn't supported in the gold card tool app. After that I got a RUU to load onto my phone.

thast wierd you needed a gold card 4 your telus desire but i didnt 4 mine
And even with the gold card I was unable to use the TELUS RUU. Had to use a generic one. Would have been nice to have gotten the TELUS one on.

Did you use this one?

EddyOS,
yes that is the RUU that I tried using, downloaded it a second time in case the first one had messed up during downloading, neither worked.

Hi all,
I'll give a quick outline here then go into more detail below if you need it. i've tried things suggested in the other bricked htc threads but none seem to work.
I've basically follwed the root guide at droiden, made a gold card and rooted my htc desire phone which went ok. problem was i then installed the suggested rom in the tutorial which was for an amoled screen but i 've got an slcd screen (i'm thick).
The upshot is my htc desire will only start up sometimes and when it does just goes to a loading screen with a bright colourful x then switches off. holding volume down and power or back and power doesn't bring up the boot menu or fast boot. i've tried to flash from one of the ruu.exe files but it just keeps saying my phone has less than 30% charge (it doesn't) and quits the ruu. Is there any way to recover my phone via another method? I've got the coldcard used to root the phone.
Many thanks
Detailed description
i've basically followed the guide to root here at droiden
and installed the rom here de frost rom it suggests.
rooted fine then i flashed the rom (the de_frost one suggested in the tutorial) - got stuck on a colourful X screen and now won't turn on. it'll only turn on if i connect to a pc and open unrevoked but then it just boots to the colourful x screen until it goes off and then i'm back to the begining.
going off that other thread it sounds like i've used the amoled rom when i've not got an amoled screen.
to make matters worse i've followed these two steps here in other threads on here which suggested a new ota or ruu. ota wais a broken link and with ruu.exe i get an error saying my battery is below 30% (it's not) and so it won't go any further.
are there any other options available to me to restore my phone bearing in mind that volume down and power doesn't bring up the boot screen (just white htc screen then colourful X screen) so i can't even do a hard reset that way. Not bothered about wiping the phone's memory just want to get it back so i can start from scratch with the right rom. i have the gold card used to root the phone.
any help appreciated - thanks.

Needs to be a gold card if your phone is network branded
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ok i did it and it worked first time - it let me get to the boot screen but then after it rebooted it just won't switch on at all now.
any ideas?
Did you let it run till the phone booted?
Take the batt out for a min and pop back in and try. And also make sure you got a good charge
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
yeah it said it was rebooting but then never came back on. i'll give it a good charge and try again.
right it will now turn on everytime but won't go to the boot screen. Volume down power and back power just start it up and it sticks on the loading screen with the x for hours.

ok for some reason after 24 hours of trying it will now let me go into the boot screen
for some reason i left the room and came back and it's working.
i've no idea what has happened.
it's completely debranded and rooted with a basic rom.
can someone advise me of a good stable rom which will work with a slcd screen?

Best Rom I find is MIUI takes a bit to get used to but you will love it if you miss the clock just download fancy widget .. for the HTC clock and weather. just Google it and get the.apk

hmmm. can't download anything from the android marketplace. just says download unsuccessful.
for any who has the same problem - think it was a schoolboy error. when it sticks on the x screen the options must be in the background. press volume down then press power and it boots.
Hi all
I have a Desire on Virgin media and today downloaded and installed the OTA Froyo update.
However,
When I tried installing the update it failed with a signature verification message, so I toggled signature verification if recovery menu and it installed ok.
Now though, the phone gets to the white screen with HTC logo and reboots and vibrates constantly.
When I try and enter recovery mode I just get a red exclamation mark inside a triangle.
My question is obviously, how do I fix it.
I am aslo interested in trying the MIUI rom so I'm wondering if this is a good time to give it a go as it seems the Virgin Media stock ROM doesn't want to play ball anyway.
I have done a forum search but cant figure out my next step to put things right.
Info:
I had previously rooted the phone when running 2.1 using revoked.
I have got android-sdk_r07 windows installed on my pc.
UPDATE: My phone shows up in ddms.bat (as offline) - not sure if that helps or not!
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Find and download the virgin media ruu and try again. This will unroot and wipe your phone it should work.

Connect your phone to your PC in FASTBOOT (turn the phone on whilst holding the back button) - once it says FASTBOOT USB run the file. It may not work, though, as you're already on the OTA but you can try. Failing that you'd need to do a hard reset through HBOOT (turn the phone on whilst holding volume down)

Thanks for your help EddyOS. Tried the RUU but it failed, saying it is the wrong rom.
When I boot into HBOOT I cannot see an option to Hard reset.
Any ideas?
Thanks again..
It might be under FASTBOOT as well - listed as 'Clear Data'
When it said wrong ROM it's probably due to you being on a new one now...
I found a 'clear storage' option under HBOOT and ran that then tried the rom again but same thing happens - error message telling me to get the appropriate rom.
Is there another rom I can use instead of the Virgin Mobile one?
Can anyone help?
Only thing you can do is debrand or downgrade and try the Virgin RUU again
Thans EddyOS.
Do I need to create a goldcard to do this and can I run the process without having to boot up the phone and put it into dubug mode?
Debrand will need a gold card, so you might be in trouble there if you can't boot up. Downgrade also needs one I think...here's the downgrade thread:

This is no good to me as I cannot boot therefore cannot create a goldcard.
Then there's no way to do it, you'd need to send it in for repair
Hello there, i have a htc desire... a few hours ago i`ve tried rooting it. a few seconds after flashing started, everything stopped, the screen went black, and no response what so ever since. when i plug in usb cable, the led indicating charging doesn't turn on. when i press the power button 1 single vibrate then nothing, the screen remains black. the pc does recognize it. when i type adb devices in cmd i get :
List of devices attached
HT07TPL02170 recovery
any ideas?
How long did you leave it before pulling the plug when rooting?
It should have been left for a good 5 minutes before getting worried....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
uh... whell about 2 minutes. didn't know that i've had to let it 5 minutes, doesn't say in the tutorial...
Ok, well id suggest running the root process again until it says its successful on your pc.
No guarantees this will work tho....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i think the update.zip is not suitable for my version of htc, maybe that's why it didn't work. can u help me with a stock froyo 2.2 rom? and maybe a quick tutorial on how to flash it?
What is your current rom and is it branded.
Do you have the rom details, numbers etc..
The more info. The better.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i don't think it's branded... my current rom, i have no idea i'm new to android.
32.43.00.32U --- does this help?
The easiest thing to do would be to run the 2.29.405.5 RUU or flash it as PB99IMG from your sdcard.
Do a search in this forum as it has been detailed a number of times.

worked. everything is ok now. but... how do I root the damn thing ?
Nice one.
To root, you need to use unrevoked3.
Just follow the instructions on their website, don't miss anything and don't pull the pkug too early.
I'm assuming you used unrevoked earlier?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i used r6-desire-root.zip
but first made an goldcard... on a 2gb sd.
I've never heard of that.
Have a look at unrevoked, it is what the majority, if not all, use on here.
Just a heads up before you continue, make sure you install htc sync and then uninstall it before continuing. This leave a couple of drivers installed that the process uses.
Then follow the instructions to the letter!
Try not to pull the plug prematurely.....
Good luck
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
unrevoked gets stuck on "waiting for bootloader" altough the bootloader is on screen...
Have you enabled usb debugging?
Have you turned off any antivirus, firewalls on your pc?
Does it say 'fastboot usb' on your phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ok.. let's take it step by step.
I've uninstalled HTC Sync, but left the htc usb driver installed.
i've started unrevoked, it rebooted the desire, then hangs at waiting for bootloader
On the phone i have the white screen with the following options
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
and a few info's on the device.
Have you installed the hboot drivers from unrevoked? There is a download link for them on their site.

Hi Guys, long time no seen.
so... after a long time not really playing a lot with my HTC DESIRE I've decided to UNROOT it. I have started to be a'normal' user..
I downloaded the RUU, installed HTC SYNC and started to run the RUU installation.
everything went great. At the end I hade a message the phone is ready to use, and there it came to me - the screen isn't working.
My screen is fully black, but the phone and the buttens work. I hear the sound of the phone turning on and afterwards pressing the volume buttens to hear some noise..
When I try to enter the bootscreen buy vol.key down+power I still can't see anything.
I have really no idea what to do!!! Does HTC can maybe fix my device? probably the UNROOTing went succesfully so there will not be any problems.
but i'm afraid they will find out i've rooted and then they will not fix it and maybe even tell me to pay for the sending myself..
I'm living in a far country so it is a real deal.
Is there anything for me to do??? PLEASE HELP MEEE!

I ran this RUU:

I'm almost 100% sure my device is SLCD...
Do you have an idea what can i do? I can't run another RUU now because i have to enable the USB debugging and it's pretty complicated to do without a screen.
Is there an option? I've tried to enable the usb debugging using some images on the web but it was unsuccesfull.
Try running

Its a newer one so shouldn't be screen specific

I'm sorry if you havn't understood me, but i can not run another RUU now because the screen is black, and i can't enable USB debugging so I can't connect the phone to the PC properly.
Do you need usb debugging?
Try it without. Boot the phone into fastboot (power on & back key) leave it for 30 seconds. Then try the ruu.

I'm trying to, but it isn't going...
I probably need someone to video or printscreen of all the steps for the usb debugging enabling.

Can you access your sdcard?
If so, you could extract the PB99IMG.zip file and put it on the root of your sdcard. I think there's only 1 input required then
Have search on here on how to extract PB99IMG.zip and see if it works.

I had a search about the file tou asked but I really havn'y understood aa thing I should do. I got really lost.
Can you explain a little? thanks
EDIT: I ran a search in the SD Card and the file you said isn't there at all...
You have to extract it from the ruu you've downloaded and then put it on your sdcard.
Search on PB99IMG and you should find instructions on how to do it.

Hi, ive been lurking on the xda forums for months, and have succesfully roooted and run darky rom on my galaxy s. then i got a wildfire s second hand.
Now i decided to try for s-off and a custom cwm rom. downloaded all the files read everything i could, and have managed to brick it i think.
Result if i press power or volume down + power i get a flickering screen, it flashes grey for 2 sec, black 2 sec. there is a faint red glow to the right of the front htc logo...where i thought the camera was lol.
i was trying to use the htcdev.com route. downloaded :

which was hard to find and a pain to download...i ran this, it found my phone, gave me the usaul warnings, check battery etc, everything set so i told it go ahead, it ran for bout 7 or 8 minutes my phone went to a black screen with htc, did a progress bar then it said finished on the pc. left it for a few more minutes to be sure, then powered on my htc. screen starts flicking grey and white...
ive tried removing the battery, cant get into hboot, get no logos, no vibration, nothing.
sdcard has been removed and sim card.
usb cable inserted charges then goes to flickering screen. pc does not detect any android device connected...

Hello I'm no expert but I hope to try and help OK so you can turn the phone on, and it flickers and then the screen goes black? Does the phone remain on after the black screen? If so what is the longest you have left it?
Also when you tried to connect it to your PC did you try in *rom mode* or *hboot * mode?
If rom mode try in hboot mode and see if your PC can connect to it. If it can try to re-run the ruu and see if it brings it back to life.
It sounds to me like either the bootloader or your radio is ****ed. And neither are easy to fix. But report back with your findings and we'll take it from there good luck.

OK hold down the volume down + power for 10 seconds and then connect to the PC by USB and see if it shows up. And its cool man, always happy to help
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Holding volume and pressing power causes the flickering to start again...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
And does the PC connect to it? Because our only real hope, since your s-on is that by holding down power +volume down you can get the PC to connect to it and the see if fastboot is still functional, then run a ruu. If it cannot, you could try to take the ruu, remove the rom.zip from it, (run it on the PC with a process moniter, wait until it moves the file to the temporary folder and take it) rename to pg76img.zip put it on the sdcard, boot into hboot and wait for a bit, then push volume up and hope that it runs the update and fixes your screen. If that doesn't work then you have indeed bricked it.
