Bootloop! - Desire General

My desire (running GV 2.2, S-ON) rebooted itself about an hour ago and now seems to be in a bootloop - reboots on the htc logo screen.
Tried getting into recovery but it hangs on the same htc screen after selecting recovery...
Any ideas on how to revive it?

Try booting without sd card in the phone.

Any luck yet?
I've been having similar problems and have now resorted to using and RUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667) and formating my SD card with a single partition - just really need this phone not to die as I still have 12 months left on my contract, *sigh*

Thanks both, I managed to get it going again via RUU. I'm actually selling the phone fairly soon, so wanted to go back to stock at some point anyway.

HTC Desire won't boot past HTC screen

Hi everyone
Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I've had my desire for about 4 months, rooted it using unrEVOked sucessfully and have played around with a few different roms.
i had leedroid on it maybe 3 weeks ago and it kept going in reboot cycles, which sucked so i changed Roms. last week it started to freeze occasioanlly with my current rom (i'm using MIUI 11.26). now it is just frozen solid basically.
It is stuck on the HTC screen at bootup. If i use the volume down key and power to boot, it will go into bootloader, but when i go and click recovery, it just reboots and does the same thing, freezes at HTC. So i'm unable to get into clockwork.
Any ideas? I've been able to follow instructions and am pretty good with swapping roms around etc, but i'm really stuck with this one
Any help would be appreciated. I'm also wondering if it is not software related.
mine just did that today, i tried to open a Gtalk message but it kept force closing, so i rebooted, now it wont go past the white HTC screen. i also removed the battery, same thing happens...not too sure what to do next
BTW im using the CM6
Is there any solution to this? Mine is stuck at the HTC logo too. Can't get into recovery and clear storage didn't work.
Anybody?
i had something like it i endet up whit download this Ruu update
.shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Bravo&file=RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
but for this update i think phone need to be unbrandet and i think you need Hboot 0.93 but you can probaly find a older update working whit the Hboot on you phone
1. conect phone to pc whit usb then boot phone in to Hboot (push on back butten and hold it when you power up phone
2. now in Hboot and Bootloader should be maked whit blue then push powere butten one time and wait around 10 sek. ore to is say Hboot USB Plug
3. now Run The RUU update exe file and do what the program say
Btw this well make Clean install on you phone all the things you installede is gone and i think you losse phone nr storede on phone too
But all the things you aplications have left on sd card well be there
Hope this help
you can try take a look here maby it well be a better fix if it works for you

[Q] Bricked Desire? Randomly reboots to white HTC screen

Hi guys,
Just tried to root a friend of mine Desire. Already rooted two Desire (including mine) without issues. This time, he updated to stock 2.29 rom, he has a PVT3 Desire with 0.93 bootloader (amoled).
Used unrevoked 3.22, at the third reboot the phone got stuck at the HTC logo and unrevoked said "waiting for reboot".
Thus I downloaded the original 2.29 RUU, put the phone in Fastboot and reflashed the phone.
Now, after few minutes after the flash, when changing settings and reinstalling apps in the stock rom, the phone reboots and is stuck at the HTC logo again!!! And so on... If I restore again on fastboot, I get the same problem again and again: the phone works for just few minutes, but then it reboots and gets stuck at the htc logo!!
Any ideas????

Possible an issue with the Urevoked version. Try 3.14 , it has worked hundreds of times for me without issues.

Hey! Did you get it sorted out? I have a stock unrooted Desire with the latest update. I have the exact same problem as you. It started out of nowhere.
Reformat SD card after flashing the phone. There are obsolete data that are messing the phone up.

[Q] BRICKED DINC running cyanogen7! please help

So I was running Cyanogen 7.0 for a couple weeks now and have tried a few others. I downloaded it with clockworkmod and everything was fine until I updated it to the newest one and while it was updating my phone died. Now it is just stuck in blue boot screen with the arrow going around and around. I tried Hboot but every one I pick including recovery, clear storage, and factory reset just gets me stuck on Dinc white boot screen. Trackball isn't responsive here so I us power and when I try to boot with up volume or both up and down with power it just vibrates a couple times and doesn't do anything. (I have to pull battery after this to Hboot or boot with stuck C& screen.) Please help! I have been reading so many threads on here and Cyanogens forums and everyone else seems to fix it with recover from hboot or clockwork recover comes up for them. I am very stumped. I have had a rooted captivate, EVO, and tried moto atrix and back to captivate before deciding to try out Dinc (and verizon)
I had that problem a while ago. I recall using the the in revoked program all over again. Hope that helps

the only solution that I would think can work on this case if going back to stock.. since you said you can get in the HBOOT.. you could be able to go back to stock and then reroot you phone again... I was on similar situation once I flash the alternative recover in RM... and I couldnt get to the Recovery and I had to go back to stock by putting the PB31IMG in the HBOOT to get it working..
You can get the link here..

How do I go back to stock by putting the PB31IMG in the HBOOT?

Download the file and place it on your sdcard once you get to the HBOOT its gonna ask you if you wanna update.. then just vol - for yes and you are good to go...
Similar Problem
I am facing a similar situation with my Incredible. I was running CM7.0.3 when my phone randomly restarted but only got to the white "HTC Incredible" screen before looping over again.. and again..
I have tried loading the stock image (used the files from dougpiston site) as well as others through the HBOOT but I still cannot get past the "HTC Incredible" boot screen.
Is there something that I am missing? Does anyone else have a suggestion? I know it isn't bricked since I can still get to the HBOOT but I just can't seem to get it to boot an image. I did notice it is still "S-Off" if that matters.
If you cannot get into recovery and flashing a recovery from hboot doesn't work, you may need a new phone. This was mentioned in another thread somewhere recently.
Make sure your sd card is formatted to fat32.

[Q] Is my EVO Dead/Gone for good?

Hi Friends,
I did a lot of searching and tried a bunch of things, but I am not very successful. Can you experts please tell me if my EVO is dead/gone for good?
Symtoms:
My Evo was charging (it was rooted and S-Off), I took the charger cable off, and the phone rebooted.
It went to the White HTC Evo screen that comes before any ROM boots, and basically looped their infinitely.
Since then, the symptoms have switched back and forth from Bootloops on the white screen OR STUCK on the white screen, infinitely.
Currently, I am getting white screen boot loops
Things I have tried:
1. Cleared Storage (via Bootloader/Fastboot)
2. Chose "Recovery" from Bootloader/Fastboot (nothing happens, reboots and stuck on the white screen or loops)
3. Reverted back to S-ON
4. Flashed other Recovery zips
5. Upgraded the Fastboot version
6. Flashed the RUU
Current Situation:
Nothing changed guys... and after the RUU flash (out of which the Radio flash was the only component that FAILED) my PC31IMG.zip files are no longer being promoted for updates in my Fastboot/Bootloader menu.
While the reboots continue on the white screen...
Can't access Recovery
Can't run PC36IMG.zips anymore
Am I done here guys, or is there still anything I can do to save my EVO?
Appreciate ALL your help!
Man I have the same problem execept I'm not rooted or s off if you change the battery and let it sit for awhile off it will turn on but it will reboot in about 5 mintues then get stuck on the sprint 4g screen of the htc screen
Hey theneguy,
Thanks for your response... My phone was rooted, but is now S-On and Unrooted, I believe (I can't tell because I am not able to get in the OS).
I can't get into Recovery and my PC31IMG is not being read now...
Any ideas, friends?

same thing happened to my son, pulled sd card and it would boot fine, found and deleted a corrupt .img file on sd...all is fine
Latest Update guys:
I tried flashing the RUU via HBoot/Flashboot, and the update failed, but the progress bar at the screen was full/successful. The on-screen wizard tried to take me to the "Recovery" steps, nothing was fixed.
The computer wizard was stuck at: Sending Signature....
And the phone had the full progress bar from the previous flash.
So I yanked the battery out, cause I had no options left.
Well, needless to say, now, NOTHING turns on. The phone doesn't charge, and blah, blah, blah.
So guys, can someone give me a verdict... is my EVO done for good?
Thanks for your help.
I can't get in the recovery eather I tryed pulling the sd card out it is still doing the same thang

It should be PC36IMG not 31.

Thanks Mark,
But I don't think it matters anymore... I think with the battery pulled out after a failed RUU.exe installation has truly bricked my phone for good.
It doesn't charge, the battery was good, NOTHING lights up, and I just think it's game over...

[Q] Am i bricked or is There a solution to this problem?

Okay so i have had my Incredible 2 for about 4 months s-off via revolutionary, any way i flashed ukb evolution 1.1 a couple of weeks ago and it has been working great, the other day the phones battery died, and when i went to reboot the device after charging it, all it does is sit at the white HTC screen, and nothing else, then i did a battery pull loaded into bootloader and tried recovery (Ext4) with the same result, stuck at the white screen, so i figured my phone was messed up so i downloaded the pg32img file from condemmedsoul's goo.im, loaded to sd card and let the ruu run, when it prompted to reboot i did, but on the reboot it got stuck on the white HTC screen yet again.
So at this point i need to know is my phone bricked? if so how would i go about flashing the 0.98 hboot (since i can still access bootloader) and returning to s-on? or is there an easy fix that i havent thought of?
