Rebooting New Official GB without Pulling out battery... - Desire General

It never worked me before Official GB Release.. I had to pull out battery everytime.. But now it looks easy..
Today I was messing with Phone root files and deleted system file and suddenly fell into a Focre Close message loop which was not ending... and at other time, My Desire hanged and was not responding...
Press in sequence Optical Trackpad button + Volume Down + Power Button..
The phone vibrates and then reboots fully...
But I couldnt manage to let it enter recovery... Maybe some trick you guys might know may allow it...
Let me know if it worked for u...

Or you can disable fastboot in menu->settings->energy->disable fastboot. So you can fully turn of your phone and boot in recovery

That makes sense... but if its somehow possible to enter recovery with it...

Optical Trackball not working in recovery and stuck in the HTC boot logo

I don't know what to do because my device is currently not booting. The device is stuck at the HTC logo for a very long time (both when booting normaly or going in to revovery). The device finaly is finished booting in like 10 min. , but when it is finnished booting the touch on the screen doesn't work, it keeps a black background and it says no service. In revovery on the otherhand the optical trackball doesn't work anymore, the hardware button does tho because the first option "Reboot system now" does work.
What should I Do???

Have you tried using the volume up / down buttons for moving around the menus and power button for select in recovery?

The volume up/down buttons dont work in recovery
Now its just stuck in a bootloop .
And there is no way of wiping the device, because the trackball isn't working.
hep would be greatly appreciated
The first thing I would try is to remove the SD card and see if your phone boots.
If that doesn't work. Have you tried putting fake flash on your SD and booting into recovery on that to test your trackpad?
Why has it started playing up in the first place? Did you have a bad flash? A wee bit of the history of your device might help to find out what's going on.

the trackball isn't working in the fakeflash. The whole problem didn't happen after a bad flash, but it just went in a bootloop when i tried to put it on this morning. I was running Defrost 1.4
You don't need trackball in the fakeflash. You navigate there using volume up and down. It should work. Try .
How about resetting it by doing the following.
Switch it off, or remove battery > Hold volume down and power button > wait a few seconds > use volume to go to clear storage > power button to select. This doesn't involve going into recovery so your buttons might work there.
Can't you get into the bootloader mode with vol. down + power and wipe it there?
Edit: Few secs too late heh

You need the trackpad to select the option after choosing it with volume up/down.

No, it says clear...... and then it just restarts the bootloop
The fake-flash worked!!!!!!!
I deleted everthing there but now, when I boot up the device it boot up straight into fastboot
You could try now using an ruu to flash. Or try getting into recovery and see if you can use the buttons now.
I'll try a ruu, but the recovery still wont work

The Ruu doesn't boot past the quietly brilliant signiture.
Now the official RUU is doing a bootloop...

Not the greatest most useful first post I've seen.
Im having the same issue. Phone locked up pulled the battery and phone stuck on HTC boot logo. Can get into recovery but no buttons are working so i cant recover. That actually happened before but i could get it sorted by flashing using rom manager as i could boot the rom.... Where can you get fake flash?

[Q] messed up DHD :(

Hello Guys....
i have a really bad situation and i think it might get worse, i got my phone few weeks ago and it was running 2.3.3 later i got the OTA update to 2.3.5
then i wanted to root and found that the best tool is AAHK i downloaded and ran it and it asked for downgrade since my version is 3.13.415 and i agreed.. at the end of the process where it should update and i should hit "power to restart" didn't come up, thought there was nothing working and the menu just was still, so i tried to restart it from the menu. so i got the htc logo and it just froze there i tried to restart over and over again, yet no luck and i noticed the s-on thing and googled alot and found that i should flash a stock rom to get it running so i went to site called shipped roms and got one and tried to install it, but the installer said the rom isn't compatible or somethin....and i remmebered getting one from another rooting guied so i tried flashing it and it worked, but it took about 15 minutes for the device to boot up and the first vibe took about 10 minutes to finish but eventually it worked and the version i got on the phone was 2.2 but without arabic language "something i want" but it was okay, now i was a bit curios about the AAHK menu so i started it and it just started working :$ :S that's something i didn't want to happen but i was scared to pull the cable and it restarted to the "black screen with htc logo" and the tool saying "INFOsignature checking"...
sooooo is there any ideas about what can and should i do, how can i make everything back to normal or anythin
please make it fast, i really can't wait any longer
------------------------update-----------------
After about 20 minutes of waiting i had no nerve left for waiting so now i took the usb cable and took the battery out and re installed it and hit power and while i'm writing the update it's viberating and it just stopped and waiting for the "quitly briliant" hope it works
it did (sorry if i nag to much and keep updating with every second)
now guys i really don't want to root or s-off or anythin... i just want to get my DHD fully up and ruunin
will the OTA update fix everything (the boot-up thing ?) and i want to get arabic language installed-how to do that
please help me
thx
hello guys...
since no one replied to my post, and i'm not that patient (not blaming anyone thought)
i do want to help others and i just can't keep asking.. so i'm trying it my self and in the mean time i've hit update and the phone shut off and took it's time to start up, as usual and now i'm looking at the update screen(black background with update loge and progress bar) and now it just finished and the screen went fully black-waiting and it is taking its time-... i'll update as soon as i get anythin

Doing a software update on a rooted phone will only revert the ROM to stock one. Key is patience. There is NO WAY at all that AAHK would mess something up on its own. I know this for a fact since I have used it to root 8 other DHD's so far without any issues. If you are not sure how it works then read more. You probably pulled the usb out before AAHK finished proper the first time.

thx for ur reply
and about the AAHK actually it's not my thing in the mean time, now i just want my default DHD back (stock rom, arabic, normal boot-up)
as i said i was applying the update and now i'm stock at the updating screen (black background htc update logo with a phone under it)
i mentioned the progress bar before but it was (i think) about moving the update to the sd card
now after about hour or so i'm still stuck at the same update state, even when i removed the battery and restarted the phone i'm still back to the same screen with nothing more..... hope u can help me with anything that can make my phone boot-up again ( no matter what's the version-in the mean time-)
thx in advanced

Looks to me like you bricked your phone. Remove the battery for a few minutes and put it back in. Do NOT turn the phone on but instead hold down Volume down + Power and see if you can boot into Hboot. It should lead you to a white screen with skateboarding androids. Post here everything it says there.

i'll try to get in there, but if i have a bricked phone... is there anyway to fix it(just give me a -yes/no- answer) for now.... i'll rebort as soon as i get into the hboot screen(hopefully)
btw i removed my sd card an out it in a card reader, and i couldn't access it, do u think it got anythin to do with it ??
If you are unable to enter hboot then sadly there is no return and your phone is gone. Hold down power + vol down for as long as it takes until it hopefully takes you into hboot.

mmmmmmmm, for the SD card i was able to get back in
and i tried to enter the hboot(but my finger slipet for split second) and i'll try againg
but on the other hand... don't u think that since i'm getting to the update screen that there might be a slice of hope for me ??

Not if its constantly stuck on the update screen without any progress. Do as I said, boot into hboot holding power + vol down keys until it boots. Write what it says there. If you can't get into hboot... Game over.

i dont really think that i'm able to get into hboot anymore, i'll keep trying thought
do u recommend (sd card in/out- cable in/out) or anything u can think of

As I said before, if you can't boot into hboot then sorry but I don't know of any other solution. Maybe someone else can provide better explanation, but as far as I know, if you are constantly stuck on update screen and if you can't get into hboot at all then nothing else can be done.

i found something called hard reset -i'll give it a try- do u think that it might help ? (hope it does)
this is how i found it's done.....
1) Firstly you have to turn off your device and after that hold the volume + and volume – button together.
2) Continue pressing both the buttons and after sometime hold the power button for some time.
3) Once you have pressed the three buttons you will get the message about the change in the factory settings and also to keep a backup of the data.
4) After the message is displayed leave all the buttons then press the volume + button to start with the hard reset operation.
5) After doing this the reset operation will be carried out and all the data will be permanently removed.
do u have any info about it ???

The only option of Factory Reset I know of is through hboot. And if you cant boot there then I really can't help you.
Are you sure you did it properly? Turn the phone off, remove battery for a few minutes, put it back in. Then Press POWER + VOLUME DOWN and hold for about 10-15 seconds. That should take you into hboot and from there you can see if your phone is S-OFF and do a factory reset.
I think that you are to nervous now
just pull out the battery, put it back in..
hold VOL - (minus, down) and press the power for about 3-4 sec, than release only power button.
if that don't get you to white hboot screen than nicely take the phone to your dealer and ask for waranty.. tell them that it got stuck on OTA update
Thanx Lord.

the main problem that stopping me the most is the long time that the phone takes to boot up, i mean that if i try to start the phone it will take about 10 minutes to get to the update screen where it stops there
so holding them for 15 seconds is somethin that i think will do me no good result or actually no result at all ..... do u recommend pluging the usb in/out or anythin like that..... i know that i'm asking to much from you, but please bear with me and should i move the thread to another section in this case so i can get more help.....
please stick with me a little
really thx for your help
no use of plugging/unplugging the phone...
just do what I've posted above

There is no point in connecting usb or anything else to the phone. Do as both Lord and I have said and write down what it says in the hboot once you get in. Booting into hboot is not the same as normal boot. Don't try to act smarter then people that are trying to help you.
Edit: Don't move the thread.
ok guys, trying it and really thx...i'll report as soon as i get anything

I just got this S3 and it wont stop rebooting...

It boots as far as the Samsung logo then restarts. Sometimes it goes all they way to att splash screen then reboots.
What I have tried to fix.
1) boot to recovery whipe data and dalvik, but it won't give me enough time to copleate the command before it restarts.
2) boot to download mode but won't stay on enough time to hook it up to my pc the use odin on it.
3)Booted safe mode and the phone booted up all the way then the power menu came up then restarted.
Im out of ideas Do you think the mother board is messed up?

Did you ask if this was rooted before you got it ? So you got the phone home and had done nothing to it before it started rebooting or did you do something and it start ?
I've heard this happen when someone had a wipe for bad and the recovery gets borked but it could be the power button as well. The hard reboot happens after the power button has been pushed for 10 seconds. This could explain the constant reboots/ Mess around with it and see if that helps. I had this happen on a skyrocket and cappy and the button got "unstuck"

It's not really a matter of it not clicking physically on the outside but something sticking under that button.
From your initial post to you stated it not always restarting at the exact same point during the boot up. Tend to make me think physical.
If its not rooted and has stock recovery someone might have rooted it before and then tried to put it back stock and borked it somehow.
Have you tried downloading Odin 3.07 and see if it's recognized ?
Did it boot when you bought it ? Please don't tell me you bought it without seeing it boot up first...

Hold your volume down before holding power button at the same time. Wait until it went into bootloader. If it is not, most probably your hardware keys is broken.

Hi... Thanks for your answer...
But that is how I have been doing it all the time...
Is there anything I can do? No way to force it into bootloader from the PC or anything?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Looks like my volume down has broken last night
I was able to boot into bootloader using adb on the PC... So this thread can be closed

[Q] HTC Desire start-up problem

Hi.
So, today I have met with start-up problem. During the normal using my phone, everything had been suspended, so I pulled out the batterry. And my phone hadn't been managed to start again. Only what I can see is the animation of evervol (I have had this kind of rom for about a year - old version of it :/ ). I tried booting by pressing dwn vol but, and power button in the same time...BUT... I know that I have the damaged vol button (only up vol but is working)... so it couldn't have worked anyway...
Do you have any ideas, how I can force on him to enter the boot menu or to start normally? From some kind of computer programme or what??
I really dont want to lose anythink from him... but if it will be necessary I would have no more objections against...
Press and hold back button + power and that will boot u into fastboot then u can get into recovery from there.
