I had a few problems with my HTC Desire he won't start after I did an update of Insertcoin (I did this update, like every other update).
So I thought that I had to re-root my phone.. Bad idea I think.
Now my sd-card is formatted so I don't have my gold-card anymore
and I can't boot my phone.
When I boot it, in the top right and left corner and bottem left and right corner there is the debugging logo (so the triangle with the '!') and in the middle of the screen HTC logo.
EDIT: I also cannot go to the bootloader or fastboot I can only see the screen above nothing else.
EDIT2: I tried and original RUU but I don't know which one I had to use..
I don't know what to do, so please help me!
Sounds like you've flashed the wrong RUU. This happened to me, I've got a Vodafone Desire, flashing the newest HTC Europe RUU restored my HBOOT but still didn't boot (so you could try that I guess), so I used fastboot to flash recovery and then a new ROM. Good luck to you.
Oh yeah also, if you've installed a custom HBOOT and then tried to use a RUU it may be the cause of the problem since it wouldn't have been able to flash the system partition. Although it doesn't appear as to be working, I tried to flash the stock HBOOT through fastboot when my phone was like that, and after the RUU finished installing I did have the stock alpharev one and not my cm7 one.. Just something that might come in useful.
I've tried this solution here but it doesn't work for me.
Yes, it's working again.
This is the solution.
I downloaded this RUU and install it and now it works

I don't know what I did wrong. After downloading a moddet statusbar vor Oxygen 0.2 I wanted to reboot into recovery and it took me very long. It freezed. After pulling the battery and setting it back in and pushing the power button my desire vibrated in 3 short intervals.
Since that I can't boot into the os or into recovery. Only thing that is working is the bootloader and the fastboot.
First thing I tryed is to flash (with fastboot) a new recovery but nothing changed. still it freezes at the splash screen.
I also downloaded official o2 rom from their homepage. But I think they want me to run the .exe while in android. A error comes up and tells me that it can't find a phone.
official htc roms don't work too. one told me that I'm not allowed to install this particular rom and an other official rom keeps exiting with error code: 170 telling me that the usb connection couldn't be established or something like this.
is there something else I can try?
I googled and searched the board. Tryed to boot into recovery without microSD card too but still no success.

Unpack the Rom and get the image out of the file...
Rename it to pb99img.zip dump only that on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot .
T i d y .
Or just look on shiped roms for an 02 pb99img.zip and download then rename
T i d y .
Thank you so much. I already tryed this with 3 different pb99img images and had always the same error (CID). One of them was a o2 uk rom. So I gave up on trying it this way. But I didn't know that it could be extracted from every rom.
Now I think every thing is working again. Thank you.
Oh well ... I destroyed it again. Like I said I was able to install official o2 rom and everything was working again. After that I wanted to root it with unrevoked 3.21 but it freezed at "waiting for reboot". So I had to pull the battery once again.
But now I can't even enter bootloader. Only a screen pops up with htc in the middle and with four ! in every corner of the display.
Tryed to install official o2 rom again. It can find it and starts installing but at the end of the installation it stops with an error:
error [110]: error while opening data. Tryed it 3 times but always the same.
This might work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
You have to have a working Goldcard and be able to access HBOOT to do the above
Nevermind.
I send it to o2. Since I was able to install the official RUU once I think they will take care of it.
What happend is:
For some reason I wasn't able to boot my phone. Recovery wasn't working too. Only thing that was working was Bootloader and Fastboot.
Just to sum up what I tryed:
Installing new recovery didn't help. I was able to install official o2 RUU and everything was working. But I lost my root. I think it had HBoot 0.930001
So I wanted to root it again with unrevoked 3.21
It started well and rebootet one or two times. But at the thirt reboot attempt it juft freezed and nothing was happening. I don't know what I did wrong?
is unrevoked 3.21 really able to root a phone with hboot 0.930001?
As I said ... if faild and after that I couldn't even enter Bootloader or Fastboot.
So I send it to o2 and hope they fix it.
But now I am really scared to root it again. If it fails again ... what will they think if I send it after 3 days again to them.

Hi,
I have the same problem and getting pretty desperate now.
Only FASTBOOT and BOOTLOADER works.
I have clockwork recovery installed but it wont boot into recovery. It just gets stuck on the white boot screen.
I can't copy PB99IMG.zip or any other zip file because I can't access the phone through usb. I tried:
adb push PBIMG99.zip /
error: device not found
Is my phone useless now? As good as a brick?
try pack it in some tolietpaper put it in to the freezer fore 5 min an try again

janielsen's idea seems crazy but give it a try..
put it in the freezer for few minutes then take it out
and then try to get into recovery mode..
you'll be able to do that
if you see a triangle with ! mark at the center that means it's a serious hardware issue and we can't do anything about that you have to send it to htc service center
Ha, funnily enough I did try the freezer thing but that didn't work either. What did work was booting into fast boot, connecting the usb and flashing with an official RUU in windows.
The phone is still stuffed!!!
It now has an official htc rom, no root, no mods, nothing... just stock!
But whenever it has to do a bit more processing like viewing a complex web page with flash, playing a game, downloading from the market it resets itself. Why?
I am starting to think it's a hardware problem but I need confirmation. I tried different roms but I get the same result. Has anyone has the same experience???
well i have sent my phone in fore repare the trick whit the freezer is only so u can unroot it so they cant see that it has bien rooted
the problem is that the cpu is getting to hot
Hey janielsen,
I had a feeling it was a hardware problem, because it only resets when it's doing a lot of processing.
But what can they do? Replace the CPU? Did they say how much it costs?
I bought my phone second hand so I don't have warranty.
yes u have warrenty because htc can see by the imei when the garanty is running out
they will replace the mainboard

Okay, i got this big problem. I can't do anything. Today i wiped everything. now i can't even go to recovery.
When I boot my Desire it just pops up fastboot. Then i tryed to go to recovery and then the HTC splash1 pops up. But after that my screen just goes black ?? i cant see anything. What to do ?
I don't know how to explain it. but every guide i found to problems like this requires i go to recovery ?
Have you tried running a RUU from fastboot then?
If you've saved your RUU somewhere - run it, or get the latest 2.29.405.2 on shipped roms (if branded use gold card).
Hi guys,
So i researched a few days before trying to root, install a custom rom (LeeDroid) and flash a custom rom
I managed to do it yesterday and everything was working fine. It is a really great rom.
But today I powered down my DHD and I can't boot anymore. The phone keeps rebooting (it vibrates one time, i see the HTC green logo, then a black screen, vibrates and so on...). The only way to stop this process is to hold the vol- key wich takes me to bootloader (so it appears the phone is continuosly powering off and on)
I already tried and bootloader is working fine, but when a I try any option that requires a reboot, the phone starts this process of power up and down.
Does anyone have any idea of whats happening?
Thanks guys!
Did you perm root your phone?
You could try reinstalling the stock rom too.
Go to bootloader, select recovery, do a full wipe and reflash your ROM. If you get a bootloop when you enter recovery, get stock RUU from XDA and use that.
Yeah I permrooted it.
But, how can I install a new rom without recovery?
I thought that you already flashed LeeDroid, and if you did, you have ClockworkMod recovery. But if that is not the case, use a RUU.

Sorry man... I overlooked this post...
To better describe what I did:
-Radio s-off
Eng S-off
Instaled Leedroid (followed every recomendation he did in the post)
Flashed the radio he suggested
Got the phone working, tested a little bit, charged and then I powered off
When powered on again I got this bootloop
______________________________________
So, do you still recomend RUU?
Can I find any guide here on XDA?
Thanks!
edit:Forgot to mention that I get the bootloop even if I choose recovery on bootloader
edit2:
So after I came home I found de RUU post.
So here are some questions:
Mosts of the RUUs are in .exe extension, so I think that's the ones I should be looking for.
Can I download any version?
I'm currently downloading de WWE Asia version since my phone came from India. Only English (india) was available from stock, but I will not try to do anything before I'm sure of what to do.
When I plug the usb cable the bootloader changes to USB bootloader (or something like that). From the little that I found aboutt RUU I should run with the phone on that condition. Is that correct?
Thanks again, and sorry for the constant editing
Really sorry for double posting, but I need to update.
I managed to install the RUU. The program worked fine and I got the confirmation of installed rom, but when the phone rebooted it got stucked on the bootloop again.
Can this be a hardware problem? Is there anything else that I can do having access only to bootloader?
Okay, it is a hardware problem. The RUU wipes everything clean and installs a new system, and as it does not seem to help, the problem is definitely in hardware side.
After I was almost giving up I tried a different version of the RUU and the phone booted!
I already rebooted it a few times and it seems ok.
Thanks for the help jkoljo!
Nice job, which RUU did you use?
I think that there was a bad block in your phone's internal memory, which got fixed when the RUU wrote on it a few times.

I used the Asia_WWE_1.32.707.1
I was trying to use a 1.72 version and still got the bootloop, but the asia version worked just fine.
I´m really glad the phone is working now, the only downside is that I´m back to the stock rom.
I have searched and I can't get this too boot up.
I installed a fresh RUU and it updated it successfully but it still keeps looping.
I can get into HBOOT but not into recovery.
I was rooted running Decks 2.3.4 ROM with the Godmode kernal.
Any help would be appreciated.

Was everything working properly before you tried to run the RUU, or were you already having looping problems? Perhaps try clearing storage from your bootloader menu, then try to boot up again. If that still fails, then I'd try running the RUU again.
Some more info would be great, such as the following:
what RUU version did you flash?
what is your current hboot version?
what is your current radio/baseband version?
That information will determine which RUU you need to run.
If your looping at the splash screen (HTC Evo 4G screen) and NOT the actual boot animation, then it sounds like it could be a problem with your bootloader, possibly.
It does sound like you'll need to try running the RUU again, or running a different RUU.
Thanks for your reply.
Everything was working fine before this happened. I took it off the charger and booted it up and it started to loop.
Hboot is 2.10 and I flashed the latest RUU available from HTC/Sprint

So everything was working good, then you decided you were going to unroot? Do you mind if I ask why (out of curiosity).
So basically, you decided to unroot it. You ran the RUU, it completed successfully, you unplugged from your USB cable, turned it on, and the result was looping at the splash. Is that accurate? If so, I would try running the RUU again.
I'd probably even download a new copy of the RUU, just to be sure you don't have a bad download. Then try running it again and see if that makes any difference for you. I'll attatch a link to the RUU i keep in my dropbox.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16599118/RU...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe
EDIT: I forgot to mention, that in order for you to run the RUU now, you'll most likely need to be in fastboot mode. So, boot to the bootloader, and select 'fastboot usb' from the menu. Once your in fastboot usb mode, try running the RUU. It should detect the phone and run just fine.
I wasn't trying to unroot. I flashed the ruu to see if I could get my phone working again after I saw it was looping the splash screen. I did the fastboot usb the ruu found the phone and flashed the new software and still loops.
Same thing is happening to me. I was on Deck's ROM except I wasn't trying to unroot. I put it on the charge then I noticed the White HTC Splash screen was on and off.
Now it won't get past it. I can get into the loader but not recovery.

Damn man, I'm sorry to hear that. The RUU is pretty much a last resort of restoring your phone back to stock when things go wrong. Since that is failing, there isn't too much else you can do. You can try running a different RUU, but I would most likely expect the same results you've been getting. There was a bunch of people with this same problem a month or two back, and there was never a fix found for it. The name of the thread was "boot looping and no recovery access" or something like that. Author of the thread was something like westibone. I'll see if I can dig it up for you, so you can read through that. There were a ton of suggestions in there. Good luck.
Hello,
I have a HTC Desire, and recently got a new One S and thought I'd try and revert the desire back to an unrooted state so I could sell it. Bad idea.
The desire is S-OFF, rooted running a custom ROM. I thought it would be as simple as running an RUU, but something went wrong somewhere.
I'm now stuck on a screen with four triangle exclamation marks in each corner. Trying to boot into hboot isn't possible I just get the same screen again. The only way I'm able to interact with the phone is by plugging it in via usb and fastboot.
I've tried flashing the stock recovery back on (from alpharev) and it said it was successful but nothing changed. Everytime I try to run any RUU I get a file open error (screenshot attached).
I really don't know what to do, any help is much appreciated.
Tried bortak's troubleshooting guide? It's stickied to the top of Q&A
Sent from my MildWild for Desire
Thanks,
After reading the guide I figured I needed to reflash stock hboot (from alpharev) managed to do this through fastboot and the sdk (android flasher gave an unknown error), after this I re ran the RUU, all working now.
