Desire doesnt boot!! unusable - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everybody!
i just bought from ebay a desire device.. first boot.. everything's fine, config wizard, although it's an used phone.. well.. satisfied.
rebooting the device and.. stuck to the splash screen (the vithe screen with the HTC green logo)
i supposed something went wrong with wiping datas by the previous owner..
try to reinstall a shipped rom.. same results..
trying to downgrade and root.. same
the curious thing is that the phone boots up only after half an hour i turned it off..
xD seems like it needs to rest! if i try to boot it early, it sutcks again at the splash...
any ide? 'cause i really dont know what to do!
many thanks in advance!

when you finally get the phone to boot, I suggest you S-OFF with revolutionary, flash recovery and try using a different ROM. If the problem persists then it must be a hardware issue.

this time whe it boots up it immediately restarts..
i should try to reflas the latest shipped rom? as it was at the beginning?

if you're talking about the RUU make sure you are 100% positive that it's the correct one! or create a goldcard and flash the latest WWE RUU. It could help I guess, if it is a software issue.. sounds like it is anyway

It sounds like hardware problem to me... Check is it overheating?

yes it's always too much worm for me.. the ruu i flashed is the one i had before downgrading.. but it is the last step i guess.. cause version 2.36.161.12 it is diffult to manage in termos of rooting and so on..
but sounds like i will be compelled to try that step..

Do you have a Desire or a Desire HD?
2.36.161.12 its for Desire HD i think..but this is the Desire (not hd) section

sorry mate.. wrong note.. 2.29.405.5... that's the real one
s-off with revolutionary, put the clockwork rec but, when i recall the recovery from bootloader.. again stuck at splash..

Seems like you were cheated into buying a phone with hardware issues.. If you get it to boot, make a goldcard and reflash any wwe ruu

already done... no improvement..
well... i guess i have to flash the original shipped rom and ask the assistance...
flashing a shipped rom the S-OFF remains or everything goes back to stock?

yes and no. You need to flash the downgrader from the alpharev.nl website, which will "unlock" the bootloader and will allow the RUU to overwrite it and turn it S-ON again

[Q] From CM7 back to stock

Hi,
I have a branded HTC desire running CM7 and I would like to set it back to stock (overheating problem). I didn't do a goldcard, because when I rooted it, the Unrevoked app said it wasn't needed anymore.
How should I proceed ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Nooooo CM7 rocks, don't do it!
Do you have SetCPU or similar app? Check if you have high CPU, maybe it's related with the overheating.
No... lol you don't get it, I'm sending it back to HTC, so I have to do it.
But nevermind I used a official HTC RUU.exe and it flashed the phone. My problem which is considerably worse now is that my screen doesn't turn on anymore !! It flashed the firmware "RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe" and now I can hear it boot but nothing else...
Someone knows what I messed up ?
Why that?

You probably flashed SLCD RUU on Desire with AMOLED screen, or vice versa.
AMOLED ROM on SLCD - that RUU was the VERY first from over a year ago! Get the 2.29.405.5 RUU and flash that and you should be good to go:
http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
Yes I figured out => Amoled on SLCD ^^
It's back to stock now !!
Thanks for you help.
PS : If anyone actually ends up on this post because he wants to go back to stock from CyanogenMod, you just need to get an official RUU .exe file (the correct one ^^) and follow the instructions. The HTC software will recognize the phone even if not running an HTC official ROM.

How do I bring back my Desire to work?

Hi
I´m in trouble with my Desire and need professional help.
It´s a (was a?) 093.0001 with root and s-off
I´ve installed Leedroid V3.07 (Gingerbread) incl. Custom HBoot for data++ and the Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08
I´ve tried to flash it back to original by using the orig. 2.2 Stock Rom from HTC. As far as I know should this be enough to bring it back to original.
Now there is the following problem:
The update breaks with the message, I´ve got to use an other RUU. The phone hangs with a black screen and triangles in it.
I can not start it in BL mode. It hangs with a partition failure.
Is this a fullbrick or is there a way to fix it? Does the radio make this problems? How can i create a higher radio number to overflash it?
What woulda real specialist do now?
Thanks for help...

Hi Patrick,
This happens usually with branded phones. In this thread you'll have to find the appropriate RUU, the RUU designed for your phone's original carrier. Did you make a goldcard ?
No, I did not make a goldcard.
I thought, Goldcard is not longer needed, so I dind´t make one...
But I´m a step closer (or did I make a sep back?)
I had acces via fastboot and tried to flash an other stock ROM via fastbootcommander...
Now I have the old HBOOT 0.93.0001 and my old radio. I´n not root anymore, and s-on is now printed in the display - but the flash stops with an partition failure again...
Is the partition failure the point to search for branded roms?

Do you have any idea if your phone is branded ?
No, I have no idea... bevore I start rooting i did not have seen any signs for a branding.
Mostly the desire shows an own startlogo from the carrier, isn´t it?
My problem is, the update is starting, but it aborts at ~50% with this failure...
All other updates won´t start, just this one RUU goes up to 50 percent...

Have you installed HTC Sync and drivers ?

You need HTC Sync. Start your phone in fastboot (back button + power), connect you phone and run RUU.
I´ve tried it a serval times, as admin, without admin rights, various combinations of rights and versions and have everytime the same problem...
I cann not see the phone starting in fastboot, even if I try to boot, the phone hangs with this black pic...
If I disconnect the cable from the phone I see the white page, but the last Entry is ruu, nothing more... there is nothing I can navigate to.

Hey [email protected] . . 1st check if your pc is recognising your phone.
Connect to pc and check in device manager what is it showing.. should be adb or bootloader interface.. if not try to install adb driver...
than once its done.
try to run this RUU
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
basically error 131 is for CID.. so you will require a goldcard for that.. just try your luck .. remove both memory card and simcard.. and run the RUU..
Let us know the results
Allright everybody - It works! Feels like birthday @ christmas together, including a final blowjob and a cold beer togeter
What did I do? I´ve created a new goldcard on a second desire, used this card and started the final RUU again - That was all... Little think, big Impression
I thought all the time, the goldcard was specific for the telephone, but it was specially for the memory card.
Thanks a lot for all of your help! I know, there were many help for this stupid guy
But you all have saved the live of my desire... Thanks

Don't forget your glodcard. Keep it safe.

Real Challenge....how bricked can you be!!! Where are the real droid pro's ;)

Got a really bad brick on my desire..
What happenend:
Rooted my phone and Alpharev s-off with Data++ HBoot
No probs i'm not a nOOb...
Anyway i had to go back to stock for sending it for repair, a hardware issue...
But in a hurry i forgot to downgrade Hboot and used a stock RUU......WRONG!!!!
End up with a messed up update and resulted in a semi bricked desire...
at boot i got a black screen with warning triangles in al 4 corners.......
Still S-Off but i can't get in recovery anymore..........
Ok......did some research and managed to flash stock HBoot and roll back to S-On But still no acces to recovery/fastboot
Ok.....no probs.....got S-On so i thought now running the right RUU and i'm done.
NOT!!!
When i use a stock RUU i got custumer-id error and cancel the flash....
mmmmm.......damn where's my goldcard.........rrrrright......it's in my son's NDS
So i'm stuck!!! no goldcard, can't use goldcard maker to get CID because i can't boot...
Can't use the original t-mobile stock RUU because my bootloader version is newer. And i can't downgrade HBoot in S-On.
Anyone any idea's...... never had a brick so bad
Do you live in the netherlands?
valt het op
if you can't ruu then try to flash the PB99IMG.zip via hboot and what's your Hboot version number?
i have acces to Hboot only it won't load any images like it suppose to, .......only RUU

Ghehe lol just a guess, well ad me on hotmail, [email protected] i might be able to help you
OK, there´s no problem for you...
You don´t need your Desire to create a goldcard... You can use every other phone to create one, course the CID is not made with the serial of your phone, it will be made with the serial of your card.
There is no problem to create a working Goldcard in an other HTC desire, it will work!
With this created goldcard inside you will be able to flash a working rom again...
I hope you understand me even my english is very bad...
DUDE YOU THE MAN!!!!
i made a card with my legend and it worked perfectly!!!
desire is back to life and ready for repair!!
thx again
i feel stupid not knowing about cid was a identification for sd
Gefeliciteerd man!
OK, nice to know your Desire back 2 life
Have fun

[solved] hboot 0.75 --> GB RUU --> bootloop @ rom | stick it in the freezer!

hi
on friday I got a desire which belonged to a friend of mine and now through me becomes the phone of another friend. the phone was already rooted (I was the one who did it initially too) but that was a long time ago and there was no custom recovery (I think we used some kind of tethered-recovery) or anything like that on the phone. so I decided to correct that. my target was custom recovery, root, new rom, s-off preferably data++
unrevoked and revolutionary did of course not work for me so I decided to just flash the GB RUU basically like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626405
and that worked pretty good but now the phone is stuck in a bootloop which resets the phone right after starting the rom. I already tried reflashing the ruu (via goldcard just to be safe, though I am pretty sure I have the correct one (tmobile DE branded, t-mob101), that however did not change anything.
so now I don't really know what to do, please help me
thanks in advance
what's the hboot info?
thaaanks a lot. in the german forum so far noone has been repyling at all since yesterday.
fastboot and recovery (though stock) works btw.
fastboot / hboot info:
Bravo PVT1 Ship s-on
hboot-1.02.0001
Microp-031d
touch panel-synth101
radio-5.17.05.23
Jul 22 2011, 16:19:16
yeah recovery isn't gonna help..
Think you can only try the 2.3 RUU again.. otherwise you can't do much more.
------
If that doesn't work (after a couple of tries).. then the process is to:
- find an XTC Clip (they're expensive, not worth buying, look into whether some phone repair shops have them)
- S-OFF the phone with the xtc clip
- Download an alpharev stock bootloader pb99img (rename it to pb99img), put it on your sd-card and update it from hboot
- Do a full wipe in fastboot
- flash recovery
- flash a rom
then I have a serious problem. apart from trying over and over again I have no choice? because I as mentioned I already tried it twice.
could the radio be a problem because the point where the phone reboots should be the moment when it normally asks for the sim pin?
can you please point me to the absolut right RUU file? I just want to be cautious.
starting the ruu installer, getting the rom.zip file (which seems to contain nothing if I open it on the computer?), renaming it to PB99IMG.zip putting it onto the goldcard and starting into fastboot is the right way?

Ohh so it boots? If it does, boot it without inserting the sim, enable USB debugging, run revolutionary to S-OFF, flash recovery, backup the ROM, do a full wipe and flash a custom ROM.. see what happens then.
sorry if it was that easy I would have done that a long time ago ^^°
the phone also reboots if there is no sim inserted.
can I maybe flash some other RUU? another GB version, WWE instead of tmob UK/DE or even Froyo?) even newer stuff? I read something about a 1.03 hboot somewhere? as long as I get this running again I am pretty much willing to do anything. however I still wonder why this is happening.
I am dieing a little bit here, I'm so stupid
is it possible that I really messed up badly here:
http://www.your-android.de/htc-desire-gingerbread-upgrade-steht-zum-download-bereit
"Hey guys, we’re happy to announce that Gingerbread for Desire is here! Please visit our Developer website to access the download. http://developer.htc.com
Please note that the following regional variants are not compatible with this upgrade: Germany (Telekom Deutschland), North America, South Korea and Japan."
so still.. why is exactly is not working and how can I fix it...
no there is only 1 GB RUU.. try installing it from the .exe (boot into fastboot, plug it in, run RUU.exe).. see what happens then
i didnt know you could install RUUs from fastboot.
update worked perfectly like before but still reboots after 1 second in the rom.

Umm nah, just when it boots, is it really hot? i.e. hotter than you would expect it to be...
Try sticking it in the freezer for 15 minutes in a plastic bag, then try turning it on again..
what the f? oookay one quick question before however: if I can flash the ruu from fastboot can I use revolutionary from fastboot too? (cause if revolutionary works all problems are solved, I did not dare to try that since the new hboot came with the weird gb update)
I would not say it gets any hotter than usual however freezer it is

no, can only use revolutionary when booted into the ROM unfortunately
If you got hold of an XTC clip as mentioned before however...
The freezer thing? some Deisre's have faced hardware faults before causing them to overheat, reboot all the time etc. if you tried to use a RUU it would always fail.. sticking it in the freezer helped.. for a few minutes.. so trying to see whether this is the problem.
you sir are my hero of the day
it booted! awesome, incredible, how could you even think of that. I am absolutly speechless and impressed.
I just rebooted it manually again and it sill works. thaaaaaaaaank you so much
can you pm your paypal adress I like to buy you a beer or sth similar?
so the next steps would be run revolutionary and flash a custom right?

Haha don't worry about it.. and don't get too happy.. once it heats up again you may just have the same problem...
But for now yes, S-OFF the phone with revolutionary and flash a custom recovery, then backup, do a full wipe (boot, system, data, cache, dalvik) and flash a custom ROM. Cyanogenmod is a good place to start (need to flash google apps after flashing CM though)

Blank screen, s-on, RUU not working. Help please

Hi,
Please can someone help.
I have a desire which was originally Vodafone. I rooted, s-off, clockwork recovery etc and have been running custom roms for ages (Though I don't flash at all often.
I tried to bring it back to stock and flashed an original Vodafone ROM through RRU. It seemed to work but errored at the end. Now I am stuck.
I have no screen display at all. If I press power the phone vibrates once but nothing else. no splash screen, nothing. Pressing "back+power" doesn't do anything either.
If I load a stock RRU it used to run through but give me a Cust ID doesn't match error 131. I have now made a goldcard and now I get a bootloader 140 error. I have tried to use androidflasher but that reports I am now s-off so fails.
RUU reports I have image 2.33.161.2 now trying to change to 1.0.2.10 (although I have tried a number of wwe and vodafone RRUs
rru goes through bootloader. erasing user data and sending signature but then fails to the 140 bootloader version error
Is it the conflict of coming from custom roms or just that it will not downgrade to a lower rom? does anyone have a higher rom? Please help. I can't even get anything on the screen to know I am in bootloader although RRU obviously thinks I am
Please help. What are my next steps. I am now totally lost!
Thank you

No, That was the big stupid move! and I think what trashed it. That and the not having a Goldcard.
I have however finally solved it. I put in the goldcard and flashed rru from the HTC developers site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772499
That fixed it. I guess it was complaining that the Vodafone version I had flashed badly was of a higher version number than the other one I was trying to fix with.
Took all day but finally got there.
Thanks for the reply
Cool, glad it works now
Sent from my HTC Desire
First off all you flashed amoled ruu to slcd device, or the opposite.
Once more, nobody wants to search the forum to see experience of other people ans simply use 2.3 RUU.
