I recently followed the unrevoked guide to root my phone and put on the clockworkmod custom recovery image (for slcd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618). Everything appeared to go smooth, unrevoked said it was a success, been using it for a few hours now and all of a sudden it wont boot sits at the htc screen, I also can't boot into recovery mode (shows a black line at the top of the screen then powers down). Its a brand new telus desire. Anyone know where i go from here to trouble shoot this/reset the device.
last thing I did was copy over a froyo rom to the sd card and try to install it using clockworks rom tools from the sd card, however that process just rebooted my phone. So i assume it didnt do anything.
Sorry for the double post, I realized afterwards this was a better place for the question

Is there a way to try to reflash the recovery image without being able to boot into android?
what do you get when u hold volume down and power button? do you not get hboot screen?
if you do then not bricked
I can get to the screen, but I cannot enter recovery, when I choose recover it vibrates, htc logo comes up then powers down. I cant boot into android , cant get to the recovery screen, so Im at a bit of loss what to do next.

you need to install recovery again then, i messed mine worse then yours and sorted using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710081&postcount=2
you have to download that ISO and burn it on cd and boot the linux and follow the command as if it was the 1st time you are rooting, if step 2 does not work then skip it and see if it boots into recovery. i remember i had to play with it for a bit
I had something similar, Volume UP, then hit power? Select recovery, then wait 30 seconds, then update zip, then get it from there? Worth a try?
that wont work with the 0.83 bootloader will it ?
Anyone else have a solution?
I assume I may need to wait for a tiny linux version compatible with hboot 0.83? so that I can restore my recovery image? unless i can boot android
I cant connect in Win. because it wont boot..
How does fastboot work ? could I copy a slcd image over the microsd ( i dont have a card reader to test right now)card run fastboot, and have android boot long enough to sync windows and attempt to reapply the unrevoked recovery image?
Hi all, I've arranged to have my phone replaced because the trackpad has stopped working so I wanted to unroot the phone before I sent it back. I was on hboot 0.75 and CM6 rom before I tried to unroot. I flashed the RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe file from this forum hoping it would take me back to standard 2.1. When I boot the phone I get the white HTC screen for a while before it reboots and shows again for a while...a boot loop I guess. I can get back into hboot/fastboot but going to recovery gives a boot loop like a normal boot. I've since flashed the official froyo update using a goldcard and that seems to be doing the same thing.
Any help anyone can give me would be great...I've hit my limit on trying to fix it and I'm starting to get a bit worried!
Thanks
hi if someone can help me with this it would be great i have a fully rooted htc evo i had myn rom flashed i did the back up and wipe to flash new rom and all of a sudden my phone shuts off and i get 5 vibrates while screen is black and the green light on the top of my evo is flashing i tryed to get into recovery and when i hit recovery it does the same thing screen turns black and green light flashes. when i turn my phone on normally it boots up to the rom i have installed but then after about 5min is shuts down and does the same thing anyone plz i really hope i didnt brick my beautiful evo.
You say the phone phone boots into the new rom and is fine for 5 minutes before this happens, so it's not bricked. if it was bricked, it wouldn't do anything at all.
Boot the phone normally, go get ROM Manager from the market and use it to reflash the recovery onto your phone. Then try booting into recovery again and see if you can restore your NAND or wipe and reflash the rom.
yea i had warm and like it comes up and then within 5 min the screen shuts down and vibrates 5 times ive tryed dl rom man from the market place and then an error comes up and then phone shuts down
yea i cant even dl rom manager it keeps telling me a network error has occured im lost right now

Have you singed into Google after flashing the new rom? Try doing that and also try accessing the market while you're connected on WiFi instead of 3G.
Try this...
Im assuming you can get into recovery. Clockwork or amen Ra. Wipe EVERYTHING. Then on your stock ROM sign into google and try to DL Rom manager off of the market. Once its downloaded flash a new ROM or just go to your backed up ROM....
Dont panic. Should be simple enough
yes once you get into recovery everything else should be a breeze
what if i reboot into recovery and clear storage will that work i cant dl rom manager at all and if i hit recovery it shuts the phone off and vibrates 5 times

I Think you should do this, and it saddens me it wasn't mentioned yet.
Go to the dev section of this forum and find the thread for Amon-Ra 2.3 and open that threat and download the PC36IMG.ZIP file and place it on the root of your SD card, if need be you may need a microsd card reader for your coomputer.
next, boot the phone up holding down power and volume up for fastboot. When it asks if you want to flash the PC36IMG.ZIP recovery image, hit volume up to accept.
now try and boot into recovery again and see what happens.
btw, since I am nice, here is that thread you need.

If it didn't ask you if you wanted to update, then the file is named incorrectly or it is not on the root of your SD card. Make sure the PC36IMG file is not inside an folders. Also, make sure you did not add .zip to the end because if you did, the file is now named PC36IMG.zip.zip and your phone won't recognize it.
You can also name the file "update.zip" and then look for the option in recovery to flash update.zip and do it that way. Again, file must be in the root of your SD card and not in any folders.
sry about all this bro im kinda new with this and im learning and ty soo much for helping me out if i had a damn cell phone id just have you call me hahaha and walk me through it your deff getting the ty button if you can help me get my evo back ill donate like 20 bucks lol
should i unzip the files in the zip folder or put the whole zipped folder on the root of my sd card
just but the zip on your sd card do not extract it...
curious if this worked for him...
no i cant seem to get this to work i did everything that was told of me to do and still nothing when i hold down the volume button and power button to boot into recovery and i hit recovery it goes to the htc white screen and then all of a sudden my phones screen turns black and vibrates 5 times and in the top left hand corner the green light will flash and keep flashing and in order to restart my phone i have to pull the battery i cant just power it down
Having a similar problem too, keeps doing a boot loop, in the bootloader (clockworkmod) i cant get into recovery, tried many different pc36img.zip files to no avail. Mine gets to the 'htc EVO 4g' screen, holds a few seconds, then reboots, shows the white screen and reboots again, continues until i pull battery.
Trying more and more img.zips, hopefully i can find the right one to atleast get back to stock.

Just download the RUU. That will get you back to stock, but then you would need to re-root.
i tryed that but it came up error that my usb cord was not connected to my pc make sure its connected to phone and pc
Without using adb, I think running the ruu and starting over is your best bet.
Hi all,
Desperately need some help to stop me geting a whack off the wife
First off the phone is an O2 branded desire with an SLCD screen.
I rooted it using the unrevoked method and installed leedroid. That all went ok
Now sometimes the phone switches itself off and the wife wants it put back to stock, no problem i said.
So i dont need a goldcard ( i think) as the phone is stll O2 branded.
I downloaded the stock O2 RUU:
RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.0
2_2_release_124865.exe...
Connected the phone to the computer via usb cable and clicked on the RUU exe and followed the onscreen instructions.
PC said everything was successful and i clicked on "finish"
Now, the screen remained black so i left it for 5 mins, still black.
I removed and re-inserted the battery and switched on, i get the vibration and tje screen still remains black
Can anyone help me out as if you knew my wife you wouldn't want to get her angry

Try the FroYo one:

Are you able to boot into the recovery menu? (volume up/down (don't remember which) + powerkey when phone is off).
If so, grab clockwordmod recovery as an update.zip, then you can launch update.zip (which will load clockworkmod) from which point you can of course flash new roms, etc etc.
If not, I think there are other threads in this forum about gaining USB/ADB access, from which you can then load clockworkmod and do the same.
Hi Sparksalot,
I cannot get into anything as the screen is just black.
When i press the power button after reinserting the battery i get the initial vibration so i presume it is doing something just that i cannot see it as the screen stays black.
I will continue to read threads but i suppose if i cannot see what the phone is doing i wil not be able to fix it
