[Q] Desire HD stuck on HTC logo after OTA GB update - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my Desire HD. I searched around this forum and others didn't really find me the information I'm looking for, so hopefully someone here can help me out.
Anyway, my phone downloaded the OTA Gingerbread update last night. After the download completed, it rebooted. Did the install and then showed me the red triangle with exclaimation mark. Did a battery pull after about 20 minutes of leaving it at the triangle screen, and now I get nothing but an HTC logo.
Now, I have not modified the phone at all in terms of rooting, turning it to S-OFF or anything like that. I used the base recovery to try and to a factory reset, format data/cache, and nothing works. I'm still just stuck at the white screen with HTC logo.
I know with the Galaxy S series, you can put the phone in download mode and use Odin to flash it. Is there anything similar I can do with this phone? Or any way to get another ROM to install, or even back to factory? Or something similar to Windows Phone where you use the RUU file?
I just got the phone from a friend and unlocked it, and really want to use it
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks all!

Hi.
Why don`t you try to find a RUU file and reflash with it?
But before reflash, please find will this RUU can work into your mobile operator.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

[Q] Bricked? Stuck at boot screen, clockwork recovery won't start

So last night, i reboot my desire and it freezes just after displaying the lock screen. I eventually remove the battery and power it back on only to find out it's stuck at the htc logo screen.
I can get into the bootloader and fastboot, but if i try to start clockwork recovery it just goes back to the htc logo.
I tried just flashing with an official RUU but it says i have less than 30% battery remaining even if it's full.
Rooted with Unrevoked and running Defrost 5.8, radio 5.09.05.30.2, unbranded desire on Vodafone Romania.
Any ideas? And think i could take it back to Vodafone and ask them to just reflash it to stock?
It seems i'm also unable to use ADB as the phone is detected by windows but it doesnt show up when i do a "adb devices".
Anyone, please?
Just following this up in case it helps someone else.
I was able to fix it myself eventually. The 30% battery issue only happened my Windows 7 64-bit machine. I tried an official HTC RUU on a 32-bit Windows XP and it worked fine, i'm now back to the stock froyo for Desire.
The RUU i used was:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed
Can't post a link, but just google that and you should be fine.
Hey I'm having same problem I have telus htc desire. His did have fixed it can u help me. I'll donate
Well from what i can tell, it's almost impossible to find an original Telus rom to flash, and since i don't know anything about the network or it's practices i'm not sure what would happen if you just flash a generic WWE rom.
I'm sorry i can't be of more help on this but i won't make the problem potentially worse by giving you instructions that might not work for you.
Hopefully someone else around here knows more.

[Q] Phone is stuck! Help please.

Hi, I am not a noob, but my phone seems to be malfunctioning. Specifically it is having this problem:
My Incredible is running CM7 with ClockwordMod and was having many force close problems and the only solution seemed to be to do a factory reset or try getting a backup from recovery. When I tried recovery however, the phone got stuck on the HTC Incredible white screen and never did anything else. I took out the battery and tried factory reset, this produced the same result. I tried starting up the phone at that point again and when it got to the skateboarding android splash screen, it kept freezing and starting the animation over again. I am fine just doing a wipe through the USB if that's possible but I don't know how that is done. Thanks in advance for any help.
I have tried to flash CWM Recovery using the SDK, but it unfortunately has been giving me a different error, and it won't let me. I am wondering if my phone is dead, and there is no chance of bringing it back.
Currently using an OG Droid that I had as a back-up and wait for the Galaxy Nexus to come out.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.
Your phone is probably fine. Just the recovery needs reflashing.
Go to PvilleComp's site and download a recovery flashable from HBOOT (PB31IMG.zip method). Just boot into HBOOT with the file on the root of the SD card, and it recovery should work again.
Thank you very much! This worked perfectly.
Was able to get back into CM7. Am back up and running.
HUGE HELP!

Look for the ruu that goes with your phone. You can probably find it in football's thread. Run the ruu and that should get you back to original state. When you go install a rom, make sure it's for your phone, otherwise you can brick it.
Edit : Here's a link to the US Carriers RUU's. Make sure you use the right one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432425

[Q] HTC One X Plus Stuck In Bootloop ... HELP

So my HTC One X Plus is stuck in bootloop. Here is what happened. I just got the phone and the first thing I did was unlock it. Everything was fine. Next I went to root it using RootBootV5. Here is where the issue came up. At the end of the root process my phone should have loaded the lock screen. Instead it just sat on the White HTC quietly brilliant. Stayed that way for hours.
So i rebooted into bootloader and tried everything I can possibly think of to fix it, Factory Reset, Fastboot Erase Cache, even folloed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190.
Nothing is working and I don't know what to do. I don't think the phone was successfully rooted so i cant simply flash a new rom. Also recovery is not working, just a black screen.
PLEASE HELP.

I had the exact same problem with Rootboot V5 and I fixed it by following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051032
This guide will help you flash a new ROM for the One X+
My One X+ was bricked for a WHOLE day and I finally got it to work with this guide this morning.
GOOD LUCK and ask me if you have any issues. I'll be glad to help. I understand how it feels to have a 700 dollar paperweight.

[Q] help newbie error

i have a wildfire s (rooted with s off)
i was getting memory problems whenever i was installing software. it was saying memory full, so i tried using methods to use ext2 partirion on sd card to use as system memory.
i could not get this to work.
so i thought i would look into putting a custom om on the phone to see if i could do it that way.
i installed clockworkmod recovery on the phone and selected backup, to back up my existing rom.
this was taking hours so i pulled battery and done a factory reset on the phone.
this worked. i then found a rom to put on there and just tried installing rom through cwm in android.
this failed and crashed my phone.
i am now stuck on the htc logo screen while loading. i have tried using the volume and power button to get into boot loader and tried going into recovery and the phone just hangs on me.
is there a way i can install the stock rom back on the device to get it working again just by putting in on the memory card. or is there any other method someone can suggest to me to help me get my phone back working.
i am not very good when it comes to these sorts of things, so if i could be pointed to and idiots proof method of doing this, it would be much appreciated.
sorry to trouble you all if this has been asked so many times.
thanks in advance
