Alltel HTC Desire USB bricked and not rooted! HELP! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So a brother of mine is getting rid of his HTC Desire and giving it to me. Here's what's wrong.
It's an Alltel HTC Desire but he has a US Cellular ROM on it. From the looks of it I don't think it's rooted. If I plug it in through usb the phone charges fine but it will not do anything else. That would mean it's usb bricked right?
I really don't know what to do from here. I've been rooting and putting roms on phones since my HTC Touch Pro years ago, but this situation is kinda scary. Please help! :'(
EDIT: And yes I did do some searching, but I'm worried the non-stock ROM will mess this up.....

chances r the root didnt successfully install. so your recovery image wont b there. make sure u have the bootloader usb drive installed on your pc, unknown sources is on, along with usb debug. then retry. another thing that happenbed to me was i tryed to root using administrator and it wouldnt work. i then retried as a standard user and had no problems. follow those instruxctions and retry

Help please

Hi guys, just got a dhd from a friend, he was on stock Rom and his phone recently refused to boot up, when he turns it on it goes to operator splash screen and then to HTC logo but then restarts, it never gets any further, its just a constant cycle, I thought I may have been able to root and install a new Rom , I can get into recovery using volume and power but because I can't enable USB debugging I'm stuck, can anyone help me, I don't know what I can do with it, thanks guys

Are you S-OFF? Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, since you can get into recovery, just flash a new ROM.
No, its not s off and its just the HTC recovery I can get into, I have tried recovery and factory reset and its still the same problem

Can you boot into bootloader?
Do you got htc drivers installed?
Do you got adb installed?
Can your computer find your phone while in bootloader?
I have HTC drivers, don't have adb, sorry but I don't know what you mean by bootloader ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Bootloader is the same as HBoot. It's the interference you boot into when you boot with power + Volume down.
Yes, sorry, I can get into bootloader but its the stock HTC one ?

Have you tried running a RUU?
It's branded and I can't find a ruu with my operator that's more up to date, is there any way I can root it without turning the phone on and getting into settings ?

No. If you want to get some help, then start providing information...what carrier is your DHD branded for? Do you remember what Version of android you had?
I guess you will have to make a goldcard and then flash an unbranded RUU.

[Q] [Help] Stuck at boot screen after JB update

So I probably made some enormous stupid mistake.
Have rooted unbranded hox that didnt install ota (returned to clockwork recovery) and used this instead:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035203
Installed without errors, and updated without errors, but stuck at boot screen.
Wont come back to recovery with volume down either.
Didnt read the thread as well as I should have and now I need help figuring out how to access recovery!

Make sure that you have v5.8.4.0 cwm recovery.
In recovery go to mounts and storage, then mount usb storage and connect usb cable to computer.

If it is all stock and you do not want to root or install custom recovery/ROM then your recourse is to contact HTC for advice/repair.
There is little to nothing that YOU as a user can do without custom recovery and ROM installation to correct flashing issues.

there is nothing you can do, send it to htc
Okay this is strange... Connected my phone to my laptop in a last resort to see if it would make any connection, started it up again and left it to be. After a minute or 1 my laptop said it saw a MTP USB-device connected so my hope was up.
I let it do it's thing for a minute or 5 and it continued to the quietly brilliant screen! After that it started up like normal and i'm up and running again:laugh: .
Thanks for the support guys!

Can you get into fastboot ? If you can there is still hope and it isnt BRICKED ....... Fastboot usb ... fastboot flash recovery again , then flash a correct rom . if recovery still isnt working try fastboot reboot recovery ..... and you may have to RUU . but as long as you have fastboot you still have a fighting chance .
I've tried to just flash the recovery through boot loader. Does the same thing. I'll try fast boot reboot recovery. How do I RUU? Can I flash a rom in fast boot?

We don't have that ROM? You flashed a sprint rom? You flashed the wrong kernel flash arom for this phone and you are fixed. You are not bricked until you cannot turn on your phone

Hey guys,
I had a very similar problem happen, do you think you could post your solution on the forum? I can get into bootloader and i'm trying to figure out how to fix it.
I'm on a macbook does that mean I can't use the RUU?
I don't mean to be mean, but how do people keep flashing the wrong roms?
Just curious

I would REALLY start reading about all the things NOT to do with an S-OFF phone if you think you bricked your phone on a bootloop.
I honestly don't want to see your beautiful phone actually get BRICKED. which means just that it's a brick.. it doesn't turn on, no charge light ANYTHING, that is a brick. And can happen, but if you are careful you will be fine. but Not knowing how to flash an RUU and what a bootloop is, those are things you should learn BEFORE you S-OFF. Just don't want to see you end up with an actual Brick.

Hey on the positive side if you brick it you can re-enforce your home...
Lol! Learned allot in the past week. Andy, everything you said is on point. I took the time to read and learn and you'll be happy to know I'm now running TWRP with bone stock. I now have a better understanding of it all. I have rooted and unlocked many phones. Eris my first. But this is my first S-off and thanks to all the help from xda members like yourselves I know what I have.
