Hello.
I'm pretty sure i bricked my HTC desire yesterday when trying to flash LeeDroids Mod. My phone hangs at the three green HTC letters and it has been like this the whole night. I've tried taking out the battery and things like that but it still hangs. Even when triyng to do a recovery. So i searched the forum to find out how to unbrick the phone and i found a nice thread that explains how to get acces to the SD again and then how to unbrick the USB connection. But I havent been able to try this out yet since i cannot find out how to enter commands when in fastboot. I know I need to be connected with a USB-cable to the PC, but what else do I have to do?
Hope someone can help 'cause I would really love to have my HTC Desire working again so that i can try out more cool FroYo mods from this lovely forum.

you have to use adb, google the android sdk and start there
All you need to do is boot into FASTBOOT, plug in your USB and run an RUU to get back to stock (assumg one is available for your phone) and then root again, had to do it myself the other day
you do not have to do ANY of this
if you are using clockworkmod or any custom recovery then there is the option to mount USB storage in which you can put on a backup or any other rom onto your sd card, unmount usb storage, and flash it, all in one.

How do I do that when my phone doesnt boot? As i wrote in the first post it is stock at the 3 green HTC letters. I was using clockworkmod to flash, but as I wrote i cannot boot into andoid atm.
@AndroHero: Can you please give me a link or something? I have tried a lot of things, but i doesnt seem to work, so I would like to be certain that the link and guide im using is right.

Have you booted the phone while holding the volume down and then selecting recovery, then when recovery boots, press volume up and power then select "apply update.zip" ?
The problem is that when i choose recovery it freezes aswell. The screen with the phone and the little red triangle freezes, so i cannot choose recovery.

What is RUU?
Edit: Maybe I need someone to make a step by step noob guide? Im totally lost. Ive flashed my Desire lots of times before and ive never had a single problem, but right now i really dont know what to do and how to do?
If you're asking questions about RUU's then maybe rooting wasn't for you. It's basic stuff. You need a grasp of the basics before trying something advanced!
Basically it's the official ROM file from HTC/your phone vendor...
Okay. Thanks. I thought that RUU was something like that but I just couldnt see how i should be able to acces any files right now. As i wrote before the phone freezes at the picture of a phone with the red triangle, and i am not able to get any further that that. I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me how and what to do next?
I had the same problem a few days ago. For me it worked to just go through the rooting process again, you can find the steps on modaco (just step 1 of r6), I can't link them at the moment I'm at work and it seems I can't open modaco from here.
Anyways if you follow step 1 you can access the recovery again and the phone will boot past the HTC logo screen.
Also these steps are well documented on modaco.
Try this first since it will save you the step of running the RUU, which I wasn't able to (somehow the software complained my battery was below 30%, which it wasn't)
Good luck hope this solves it for you.

You don't need to go into recovery! boot into FASTBOOT and then leave it at that. Plug the phone in and it will then say FASTBOOT USB. Then run the RUU your phone came with originally. You don't need to go anywhere near Recovery
I am pretty certain that ive found a solution now. I deserve a fist in the nuts for being so stupid not to press volume up + power when trying to get into recovery mode. But fortunately dnlgee asked if i had remembered this. Now that ive gotten this far i should be able to solve the rest. I will however return if im still unable to solve it.

Ah I missed that part, I couldn't access recovery either. Only thing left working was fastboot for me. All other options would hang on the HTC logo screen.
First of: YES I tried searching but didn't find my answer (prob didn't know how to search good enough ). And sry if this is not the right place to post, if so plz a mod move it. Thnx in advance
After not getting my OTA update today I decided to root my desire with Unrevoked 3 and it worked like but I still wasn't able to update the phone via recovery since it just wouldn't start the update.zip.
Than I decided to go for a rom and dwl OpenDesire FroYo and with Rom Manager installed it, but after it finished installing and the phone rebooted it stuck in boot animation (android with glowing animation) and now it won't go any further. Tried using a stock RUU but it said something "Wrong device". (info: I didn't use a gold card since my phone is supposed to be unbranded and unlocked).
Would be very grateful for any help or idea.

For how long did you wait when the X was flashing? Sometimes it can take up to 20 min so keep waiting. The animation, is it smooth or does it seem like it freezes and then goes around in a loop in which it freezes in the same place? Before using RUU you should try flashing another rom (dont forget to wipe & everything), after that use RUU but I guess you'll need a gold card anyway.
Good luck!
i always do a ADB logcat to see what's going on behind the bootscreen.
but for your case i think you need a ext3 partition on your SD card.

1. I waited for like 10 - 15 minutes and nothing. I guess not enough :S :S

Drop the fake flash update.zip on your SD card, boot up holding vol down, select recovery, once in the red triangle hold vol up + press power, choose to apply update zip.
That will get you into recovery, you can flash from there.

Stuck in a bootloop? Remove the battery. Go into the recovery, perform a full-wipe and flash again. If that not helps then boot youre phone again in the recovery and .....then:
Format youre sdcard from the recovery into swap=0, ext=512, remainder=fat32. You will loose all there is on youre sdcard.
Then after formatting. Turn off the phone. Take out the sdcard and copy the rom to youre sdcard. Put it back in the phone. Start youre phone in the recovery and flash the rom.
Thanks for the quick reply.!
The problem is i am unable to login to my phone. So how will i be able to flash the phone? only if i log in can i use rom manager isnt it? I am a total newbie at this. I would really appreciate it if you could explain this in detail to me!
thanks!
as I know power button with volume down together then wait then use volume down
to highlight recovery then power to enter.
It is explained in the first post of thus forum.
Hold down the back key while pushing the power button.
You will get a menu
Select Bootloader (by pressing power button)
Then wait for 10 seconds on the next menu
Scrol to Recovery with the volume-down button
Then you'll wait ten seconds and get a black screen with red traingle
now connect your phone to the pc with usb
start a adb recovery on the pc (for this you must have a recovery on the pc installed as well as Android SDK) in my case I just run the file recovery-windows.bat
Then you'll get a menu on your phone wit a lot of options, you can even select Ms-usb toggle after wich you can acces your sd card.
I am not a developer but think this is quite it. Download links are all in teh first thread of this forum.
Could you tell me if this would work?
I'll first wipe the phone, including the cache.
Then I'll copy paste the zip file of the Nextsense rom onto an sd card from my PC, insert into my phone, go to recovery mode, go to the sdcard-update.zip menu, and select the nextsense zip file.
Will that work?
Please help me out. and cheers to all u guys who took the trouble to reply so quickly. thanks..
I finally got it to work. All i did was I went into the recovery console, selected factory reset. and it got alright. Only problem is that i think my sd card got busted in the process. No idea what happened to it. It is not even getting detected by my laptop. I guess i ll have to get a new one. Thanks a ton to all the xda guys for helping me out. this forum is really kickass! I shall definitely return to xda to get help on further issues!
reformat your SD card , that should fix it !
Thanks! yeah, formatting the sdcard fixed it. Finally working properly now..
HTC desire stuck in bootscreen
I have the same problem with my desire. While loading a ROM with ROM manager the phone rebooted and started to install the ROM. But while it was installing it i error message came up and the phone froze. And after that it get stuck at the bootscreen. I've read the posts written earlier about this problem, but nothing works.
When I push volume down + power on the phone should think for a second and then show green texts about the SD card etc, but when this message shows it says it can't find anything on the SD card. And when I enter fastboot -> bootloader, it just throws me back to the home menu.. any ideas what to do?
you have to use recovery option in the bootloader
Unless you pushed the NewSense ROM via ADB you're most likely going to get a bootloop. After reading statements in the flashable versions of that ROM, that's what I've gathered: Bootloops.
Either wipe everything and install another ROM or install it the 'old school' way, using ADB.
hi i'm new here,
Currently my Desire totally can't boot up..it stuck on the HTC Welcome screen..
I already remove the battery and restart it..
Also done with the Hard Reset method.
Fyi, my Desire still in stock condition (Android 2.1)
Need some advise regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance guy's =)

Similar problem
Hey.
I tried to s-off my phone using alpharev and I had the "waiting for flashing to complete". I tried to check if the proces was running with some commands and it seem as if I managed to restart the proces. I finally gave up and removed the phone. Probably too early because now I can only get bootscreen and Clockwordmod recovery. I'm unable to get further than that and therefore I'm not able to start the s-off proces again.
Can anybody help me?

Hi!
I'm gonna go straight to my problem.
I have a HUGE problem with my HTC Desire HD.
A few days ago I was gonna update my phone from Androind Revolution HD 7.0.2 to ARHD 7.0.3.
In this process I accidently erased my whole SD card. I put the SD card into one of those
USB things where you put the small SD-card into and then into the computer. Anyway, I accidently marked
everything and deleted it, So now my phone won't even start. It just stops at the white screen and it says HTC.
You know the startup screen that comes up when you start the phone. And then nothing happens.
I am tired of custom ROMs etc etc, and I would like to revert my phone back to factory settings.
Only problem is I don't know which RUU to use etc etc. I have tried the Hold Volume DOWN button and power button
and then chose restore factory defaults.. But it doesn't work. Please help me what should I do?
I want to revert it to stock as it was when I got it from the store..
I live in Sweden, If that's any help.
Please help, I can't even use my phone anymore...
What you need to do is download a ROM and place it on your sd card. Then turn on your phone while holding the volume down button. You should enter the boot loader menu, choose recovery. From recovery you can flash the ROM you placed on your sd card.
I'm not sure but I think if you want to go to stock you can just use a stock ROM file instead of a custom one, but i recommend sticking with a good custom ROM.
Heres a list of stock RUUs

Would that be the proper one maybe?
Also this didn't work, I put the .exe file which I downloaded, on the SD card, and I chose recovery but then a black scree
came up with the cellphone on it and a red triangle with a exclamation mark..
Should I maybe rename the file to something? Or pack it in a zip file and rename it to update.zip or something like that?
Thanks.

You don't need to use a RUU ROM. If you had ARHD installed before and like that, then use that, or anything else on the forums. You just need the install .zip on the SD card, the recovery files are already on your phone. Power the phone on while holding the volume down button to boot into bootloader, then choose recovery and install the .zip
That's the problem I chose recovery and as I wrote before, a black screen comes up with the phone on it and a triangle with a exclamation point..
Or are you saying I should zip the RUU ROM? And rename it to update.zip and then chose recovery or something like that?
I have read a little myself, and the red triangle thingy, I found a solution to that. Press Volume Up and Power Button, So I did and I chose Install update.zip from sd card.
Only problem now is that the installation aborts itself and it says "Signature verification failed" or something like that. What do I do now?
Please help, I don't know what to do

It seems like you have overwritten your recovery.
You can try installing clockworkmod by following this guide
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-custom-recovery-to-an-android-phone-device/
Try the fastboot or flash_image methods.
Once recovery is installed boot in recovery by holding vol down and press the power button, then choose recovery, and then install a ROM that you have downloaded and placed on your sd card
Edit: I highly recommend using a custom ROM and the method i wrote above but if you insist on installing a stock ROM you can use one of the RUUs from the link I posted earlier, the one you mentioned earlier should be fine. The RUU is an exe file that you run from your pc. Just connect your phone and run the RUU and follow the steps, you might have to boot into the bootloader on your phone though. It won't work if you just zip it.
Another method for installing a ROM without recovery is to get a ROM which is in the PD98IMG.zip format. If you have a ROM in this format just place the zip on the root of your sd card, boot into the boot loader and it should start installing automatically, but again you should try the recovery method first.
Thanks for this post man.
Only problem is I can't access the cellphones interface to turn USB debugging on or off, which was on when the cellphone stopped working.
And what do you mean by "Another method for installing a ROM without recovery is to get a ROM which is in the PD98IMG.zip format."
Should I just rename the ARHD 6.3.2 to PD98IMG.zip and then run it? Cause I did that and nothing happens as usual.
The only thing I can access in the phone is the boot menu..
And it seems to install clockwork mod you have to have access to the interface of the phone, meaning the phone must work sort of.. Mine doesn't It doesn't even start so that I can typ in the pin code etc etc... Nothing...
I even tried to boot the phone into boot menu and then chose Fastboot and plug it in via USB and then try to install the RUU .exe file.. Which did not work either..
I have no idea what to do..
I can however access androids own "boot menu" sort of, cause when I come into the boot menu I chose reovery, then after about 20-30 sec the black background comes up with the phone on it and a red triangle with a an exclamation mark and if I press volume up and power button it brings up a menu which I can chose "install update.zip from SD card" Only problem is, it doesn't seem to work no matter which ARHD.zip file i chose...
I am clueless on what to do. Any other suggestions?
Also the PC can't seem to find the phone when I plug it into the USB because as I said when I ran that RUU .exe file while it was plugged in, it told me it couldn't find the phone so..

Use that PD98IMG.zip !
What you should end up with is a stock Froyo DHD which you can that root, custom recovery and so on !
Download the PD98IMG.zip from Aron Fridrik's post above, place it on the root of your sd card. Boot into the bootloader by pressing vol down and the power button when the phone is off, and the ROM will start installing automatically (I think).
Then follow this guide to root and install a later ROM.

Ok thanks a lot!
Will try this and get back to you.
But what's the difference on Froyo, ACE etc etc? I've never really understood that.
Thanks again! Will get back to you !
Froyo is Android 2.2, ace is the codename of Desire Hd and Wwe mean world wide edition

WOW! It's working now!
Thank you all so much for the help you've given me!
I did what you said, copied PD98IMG.zip to the SD card,
booted into bootloader, it started updating the zip file and when it was
done the phone was back to stock. I then used the Advanced Ace Hack Kit
and rooted the phone, once that was done I downloaded ARHD 7.0.3 and booted into clockworkmod and applied the update.zip which I renamed earlier on the SD card.
And now I am running ARHD 7.0.3 and it's working great! I'm going to save that PD98IMG.zip file for the future in case something goes wrong again!
Now there's just one small problem, When I started Youtube on the phone I got the "force close" message, so my first thought was to uninstall it and install it again and that worked. Now I get the same message (force close message = "The application Sound set (process com.htc.sdm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.) when I press Personalize > Sound > Notification Sound. It doesn't do that if I chose Ringtone or Alarm or any other. Only the Notification sound..
Any ideas what this might be?
I had the same problem when I used ARHD 7.0.2 and I though it was something with the ARHD ROM and that it might had been fixed in 7.0.3 but no.
So any ideas, or should I just check the post about ARHD 7.0.3 and see the FAQ there?
Anyway, thank you all again for the help!
I really appreciate it!

Did you full wipe and factory data reset prior to flashing new rom?

Actually no I didn't. After the "root process" I just installed the update.zip through clockworkmod. Should I have done a full wipe and factory data reset before this?

you don't need to rename the from zip to update.zip to install a rom through recovery.
You should do a full wipe and reinstall ARHD, if the problem still persists try posting in the ARHD thread.
Don't forget to move the PD98IMG.zip from the root of your SD card or it will install every time you enter the bootloader.
Allright mate, Thanks a lot!
EDIT: I did what you said Lewelynn and now it works! Thanks a lot! Now it even looks different! =)
It's the small weather clock instead of the big one and a different look on the buttons etc etc.
How come it looks different now than before when I applied the ARHD 7.0.3? Is it because I did a data wipe/factory reset through 4ext?
Also when you do a data wipe/factory reset through 4ext, during that process it asks you if you want to install something about kernel or something else?
Can't really remember what it said.. But what did that mean? I chose No on the first question, and then Yes on the other question which said (recommended) so ofc I chose that.
Is this the reason it looks different now or ?
Thanks again!
You cannot imagine how greatful I am for your help!
Thank you everyone!

I'm not sure why it looks different, maybe stuff was corrupted before since you didn't wipe, or maybe you unknowingly updated from sense 3.0 to sense 3.5 when you updated ARHD.
I don't use the 4ext wipe feature so don't know what those options are. If you are concerned, an alternate way of wiping is to use the superwipe.zip which you will find on the first post in the ARHD thread. Just install the zip before you install a new rom if you want to wipe.
No problem man we all started somewhere.
Alright mate,
Well then that's it, now everything is fixed. Moderator can remove the post or whatever Or he could let it be if someone else has the same problem.
Again! Thanks for everyone's help in this post! =)
