[Q] Flashed HTC latest Gingerbread, stuck in bootloop - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It was s-off Leedroid
I downgraded hboot
Ran HTC Developer RUU
Now stuck in bootloop, sometimes it gets as far as sense lockscreen but not normally.
Tried to rerun RUU error [120] low main battery (but it's 100%)
Tried renaming froyo HTC WWE ruu to PB99IMG.zip but it doesn't extract on the phone
Wont boot into recovery
Cant fastboot flash recovery
ADB lists is at a fastboot device
Hboot 1.02.0001 (The HTC locked one)
What can I do to get a working ROM, I guess the battery stats are corrupt for starters!
Help, please!!!
Matt

You probably was custom hboot like cm7 and forgot to flash stock, and as you ran RUU it erased recovery and updated hboot.
Are you still S-OFF?

No the HTC RUU ran fully and said it completed successfully It ended the RUU and rebooted the phone as it should. The Hboot,recovery and system were all rewritten to HTC standard (hence no s-off, thats why I downgraded the hboot before running the RUU).
I have a nandroid backup that I can't access as was anticipated!
I have no access to anything except bootloader and fastboot, fastboot flash is not a permitted ADB command by the HTC hboot (as anticipated).
Tha RUU Q&A say rerun the RUU if these probs are encountered but the RUU terminates when the battery stats are read I guess (different battery makes no difference)
I left it overnight and rebooted phone and computer and it allowed me to run the RUU to completion again, bootloop again but it loops further (to the sense unlock screen) every time.
So I ran the RUU again (3rd time). Doesn't even get to the quietly brilliant bootscreen! Oh hang on after quick 6 reboots it's gone to the rewiting radio screen and to the Quietly brilliant screen..................and started rebooting at the sense lockscreen again!!!

Boot Loops and cant get into Recovery/Factory Reset in HBOOT

I was trying out a custom rom when my phone suddenly goes into boot loops. I can get to HBOOT but it bootloops when I choose recovery, factory reset, or clear storage. I get the splash image then it reboots after a few seconds.
My phone:
Incredible AMOLED
S-OFF
Hboot v .92
Baseband 7.28
What I did so far in HBOOT only with no success:
-formated my sd to fat32 and
-flash the PB31IMG.zip of radio 7.28 ( I was on 9.01 )
-flash the PB31IMG.zip of 2.2 RUU (got back the HTC splash since I had the Chicago Bears splash on it)
-flash the PB31IMG.zip of Clockwork Mod 2.5.05
-connected the USB and rerun the Unrevoked (see if I can reroot) but it won't connect to the phone. Just wait for device.
I want to S-ON so I can send it back but I can't get past Hboot to get to recovery mode. Is their another way to return S-ON by just flashing PB31IMG? I'm really screwed now and its Thanksgiving.
TIA

That's Qualcomm Diagnostics mode, because you pressed vol up while booting the phone with a USB cable attached. That will only happen when you have S-OFF.
To get out of diag mode, unplug the usb cable, take the battery out, wait a few seconds and then boot as normal.
With respect to the OP..the only way to get S-ON is using the S-ON patch by unrevoked. If your HBOOT is verion .92 then you didn't flash an RUU (maybe the latest RUU has a newer hboot? didn't think so). You should flash an older RUU, like the 2.1 one.

the usb wasnt plugged up
i flashed theme from clockwork
im s-on ...
and ive now tried to flash stock img from hboot... and still does the same ..wont allow me into recovery
in hboot right now this is what it says...
"INCREDIBLEC XC SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.92.0000
MICROP-0417
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_12ab
RAIDO-2.15.00.07.28
JUL 23 2010, 18:06:51"
so it looks like it flashed back to stock but still odd boot problem
Regardless if you're booting into HBOOT make sure you're holding volume down and not up.
HBOOT is version .92 now for stock? I didnt know that.

[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] Desire HD almost dead (only boots to fastboot). Any way to S-ON?

I had a Desire HD for a year. I just started rooting and using custom roms three months ago.
A few days ago, when I got the phone from charging, I found it frozen. I restarted it to get a looping "force close" for almost all processes. I restarted it again to the same result; the third time I restarted the phone emited 7 short vibrations just after powering it, and after some time in the initial HTC logo it froze in a black screen.
I tried to reflash my last custom rom I used, so I booted to ClockworkMod recovery and tried to reinstall the last ZIP file I kept on my SD card from last time, it installed ok, but then I got the exact same scenario: 7 vibrations, HTC logo, black screen of death.
Later, I tried to flash another custom rom, but now I can't boot to recovery. It does the exact same thing as trying to do a standard boot.
So now I'm stuck in Fastboot. I tried flashing a stock rom (downloaded the lastest official RUU), but while it seems to flash it ok, it still hangs the same. I also tried to flash copying the ROM.ZIP file from the RUU to the root of the SDCARD as PD98IMG.ZIP, but while it also seems to flash the ROM ok, it still fails to boot.
This is what I discovered (Googling):
-The 7 vibrations means bad CPU. What I don't understand is why fastboot works perfectly without any hang but can't boot even in recovery mode.
-I can't use my warranty while the phone is ENG S-OFF.
I think I succeeded to flash a stock ROM, so now the only thing that keeps me to carry my phone to fix is the ENG S-OFF. Is there a way to set ENG S-ON while in fastboot?

Ive had multiple vibrations thats when i was deving on something (unreleased)
Take out battery for 30mins then put it back n try recovery mode again, make sure you install a custom rom again after full wiping
EDIT: flashing stock ruu should s-on, then redo s-off that should fix it afaik

I already did this (not intentionally). It doesn't change anything.

If flashing stock RUU should s-on, then the flashes I tried didn't complete. I guess the flash finishes after the first boot, but as the phone hangs before booting, no flash is done?
Anyway, if this helps somehow, this is what shows my fastboot:

Issues restoring RUU Stock

Help,
My desire rebooted earlier today and stayed on the white HTC startup screen. What ever i did, i could not get passed this screen.
I therefore applied the stock RUU update 2.29, however during install a triange appears after the progress bar. On cancelling the update, i have an error stating not all partitions could be updated in particular the Radio.
I have tried the RUU several times, sometimes it does complete the full flash, however during restart, it stays on the white screen,
Has the phone died?
It was a bad to cancel update! For me it seems you got a radio-brick, which is currently unfixable.
You could try to flash 2.3.3 RUU from Fastboot. With any luck, it will boost your phone back to life.
I have managed to get the RUU to fully install, however i still cant get passed the white HTC startup screen.
Its weird that if i repeat the RUU update, sometimes the radio partition will flash, other times it wont, and it then goes into recovery mode. Once in recovery mode the radio will flash, however the phone will still not start up.
does your phone have other hboot than stock? in order to flash original ruu you have to downgrade hboot first. That's what happened to me. If that's the case there's a way but I can't find it right now as I am away from my computer...

Stuck at Screen with /!\

Hey Guys,
I already searched in the whole forum and tried a lot of different tutorials and stuff but i just can't bring my desire back to life... :crying:
I got it today from a friend and tried to update it and after that it was stuck at the white htc screen and wouldn't boot.
However I wasn't able to get into the recovery mode because the phone would jump back to the white htc screen and freeze (sometimes it would vibrate 7 times)
I then tried to recover it with a ruu but i got an 152 error and now i have the black htc screen with the four /!\ in the edges. I tried different ruus, including some from vodafone (because i wasnt sure if my phone is branded or not) but with the vodafone ruus i get a 131 error (so i guess my phone is not branded). i also tried the 2.3 gingerbread image.
When i try to recover it with the gingerbread image it stops at about 55% at system rewriting (or sth. like that)
When i plug it out after this i get the following stats:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.02.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

Splash 1 - ok
Splash 2 - ok
Partition update fail!
Update Fail!
I also get the Error 140 from time to time...
I think i might have to downgrade the hboot, but i don't know how, cause i am s-on and can't get any further than the black htc screen (=fastboot)
i also have the adb toolkit, and i tried to force boot it by the command fastboot oem boot... but it froze at the white htc screen and vibrated 7 times
And i dont have a goldcard...
Can anybody help me with this? if you need more information just ask!
this happened to me...try s-off your device with revolutionary...and then get back to stock hboot from alpharev...and then try gingerbread image to install....
good luck...
Thank you for your reply
How can i s-off the device with revolutionary? it doesnt seem to work in the fastboot screen with the /!\ ??? Revolutionary stucks at "Waiting for device..."

You have a radio brick. Few phones are recovered from this state. The only thing you can do is endlessly flash a RUU hoping that sometime it will succeed.
Try the 2.3 RUU in my sig, or the .exe version of it, or some wwe ruu-s.
//Edit: Post 999
Thanks abaaaabbbb63 for your answer, but i think i might found the first part of the solution
I just stumbled across the "fridge/freezer" method and it worked . Simply put your desire into the fridge until its really cold and the ruu will finish the update. (I think its because the radio gets really hot during updating. For example, the more times you try to update it in a row, the hotter it gets and the sooner the ruu stops)
However, now I'm stuck in an Boot circle. Phone vibrates, green htc logo for a few sec, then black screen and the phone boots again.
But i can get into the boot loader with power and volume-.
Hboot is 1.02.0001
i can go into fastboot, but when i try to get into the recovery mode, the phone is stuck in the boot cycle again.
Anyone some suggestions on how to continue this? I think i need to turn s-off to downgrade the hboot if im right but how?
Update: When i try to do fastboot oem boot via adb, the phone vibrates 7 times in is back in the boot cycle
Update 2: Correct me if I'm wrong but I think i have to set up a custom recovery mode like clockwork via pb99.img, right? However dont have time now, will try it tomorrow...
