[Q] Desire Stuck on HTC boot. No Recovery. No S-Off

Sorry if this sounds similar to other threads, but I cannot find the answer in them.
Hardware: Desire Unbranded, Unlocked.
System: Originally 2.1, then 2.2 OTA, then various customs with MIUI being the latest. Installed Clockwork Recovery.
Issue: Apart from the odd freeze, everything has been working fine this week. I rebooted the phone yesterday and it stuck at the HTC white screen.
I can boot into Bootloader:

When I select RECOVERY, it boots to the HTC white screen, but no further.
I can select FASTBOOT and it will connect up via USB for me to run FASTBOOT commands. However, I cannot flash .img's (fastboot remote:signature verify fail), or erase, other than cache, (FAILED (Remote not allowed). I'm guessing that's because I've not got S-OFF.
I have tried flashing the latest PB99img.zip. It reads and verifies, but then just returns to the BOOTLOADER screen with no other options. I have also tried old PB999img's, but it complains of being downlevel.
Fixable by software, or do I give up and pay HTC to fix?
Any help much appreciated.

if it says downlevel try this http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip rename to
PB99IMG.zip

Thanks, but I've tried it. It loaded, said it was verifying, but took me back to the Bootloader screen without any new options.

So, I'd pulled out my old winmo 6.5 phone and put the sim in that...but thought I'd try the PB99IMG.zip one last time, with the SIM out.....and it worked!
The phone took a while to sort itself out (multi auto reboots just as the lock screen appeared), but seems stable at the moment.
All very strange!

which pb did you use? the one i sent is the latest froyo and radio.

I'd already downloaded the one you sent and was using that.
Only difference with when it worked the final time was that I didn't have the SIM Card in the phone.

You shouldn't have a sim in your phone when using an RUU as it can simlock the sim.

[Q] Bricked desire [overheating issue, made it a bit stable]

Good day to all
Yesterday i get a bricked desire, that was only loading to bootloader. It is CID locked and not rooted. So i decided after some googling to find a suitable RUU, but i tryed aroud 15 and no luck. Flashing stops at radio upgrade and wont move. Now the phone is in a diferent state. It starts in a black screen with HTC sign and danger signs in corner. It still react on flashing, but now i cant do anything else. It just dont want to flash the radio. I found many advices and manuals, but they are for rooted and CID unlocked devices. So my question is... What now???

This screen appears.

Original there where HBOOT 0.8.0001, but when i flashed RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed, during flashing phone 5x vibrate and stopped on 35%. He upgraded HBOOT to 0.93.0001 and now on start is this black screen.

As i said in my very first post... It freezes when he flash radio at 35%. And the question is... what now.

you can try to flash a recovery with android flasher and then instal a costum rom

Device is not rooted and not CID unlocked.

Any new ideas?

Would be nice to get some new hint i am nearly at end of possibilities.

why you tried to use ruu when you are on stock rom with branded device?
and did you bricked your device before flashing ruu.exe or after flashed it?

hey you can create a goldcard if your phone is recognised in fastboot in pc..
that will solve all your problems.

PHONE IS ALIVE Refridgerator trick worked. But still its overheating. Radio upgrade will be enough or its really damaged?

What about some giant active cooling :-D

I opened thedevice and inserted a piece of metal between processor and procesor cover with heatsinkin white pasta. For now no overheating. Posting from the desire

Possibly bricked my Desire with RUU without switching back to original hboot

I had Oxygen hboot installed but wanted to switch back to original ROM. I Ran RUU but forgot to replace hboot with original one.
Now i have gray HTC in middle and /!\ in corners.
I can run RUU again and it recognizes the phone, but gives ERROR[152]:IMAGE UPDATE ERROR and recovery option doesn't help either, ends up with same error while retrying.
I can't boot into bootloader with power+vol. down
Any suggestions what to do next ? Is there any solutions ?
Nevermind, Fastboot worked. Flashed correct hboot, ran RUU again and it's working now.

please help
Can you be more specific for a noob?! I have the exact same problem and i'm desperate. What exactly did you do?

You need to fastboot flash (using commands or android flasher) the Alpharev downgrader image like it says on the alpharev site. Basically the same way you flashed your current hboot.

done
thanks guys, mine is working too now

Hi guyz!
I just bought a second hand Desire from a guy i dont know, and it seems it has some issues. I know it is not bricked as i can enter the bootloader and the fastboot mode. But that's all. I cannot access any recovery i flash, or boot any rom.
I flashed several RUU's via bootloader, one of them is booting but it reboots as soon as it settles down. Others dont even boot.
I am familiar with flashing, with fastboot and all that, i just have no experience in HTC Desire.

So this is what i get. Is there a method to get some working ROM on this one, other than flashing RUU's that doesnt seem to work? Or flashing with recovery?
I have flashed clockwork recovery via fastboot, it still doesnt work. It vibrates 7 times than the screen stays at the htc logo.
Maybe there is a fastboot method to inject all the stock stuff into the phone? And maybe somebody have those img's?
Many thanks, guys!

[Q] Desire stuck in bootloader mode even after flashing

Hi,
I have desire in my hand. It is S-OFF. I tried many flash files and it flashes okay and turns on. but right after reboot it goes to boot loader again. I have 3 phones like this one. What I am doing wrong? Please advice.

can you explain that a little better please? Have you tried using a different recovery and then flashing a rom?

what are you flashing, a rom? also, what rom is it, are you flashing with hboot or recovery, what hboot, cdma or gsm desire?

I am flashing a GSM desire. Flashed with these flash files

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
Phone successfully flashes and even turn on normal but as soon as you reboots phones. It just goes to hboot mode.
Do I have to flash some kind of radio or recovery image. Please advice.

Were any errors shown? On which hboot are you?

No Errors, it just boot in bootloader mode.

In lay man words I would say its boot sector is corrupted and it does not boot itself.

So this only happens when you reboot? Do you have a reboot menu?

Where is reboot menu? Sorry I am not getting your point.

Bootloop, 7 vibrations, no recovery, only fastboot

Few days ago my HTC Desire restarted and never booted again since then. It was lying on a desk when I heard multiple vibrations.
No ADB, no recovery, only fastboot available. I can flash any partition without any problems. It's got S-OFF (with AlphaRev - I've already tried different partition table layouts).

I don't have any nandroid backups since the phone was working well with CM 7.1 for a few months.
Reflashing boot doesn't make the device boot any further.
I've been reading about similiar issues but none applied exactly to my problem. Do you think there is any chance of making my Desire work again? Asking here is probably my last chance so iz ask for halp.

I think you can use android flasher/fast boot to get recovery and then flash a rom
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA

I've been also flashing recovery. Without any effect. :/

Look here, pretty much the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774330
Check it out and see if you can find something.

So I tried flashing latest 2.3 RUU from HTC dev site. In bootloader only radio version changed. It's still S-OFF. Splashscreen changed to stock HTC. Now after 7 vibrations phone restarts (it wasn't before).
I've also tried putting it into freezer but it didn't help I guess.
Any other ideas?

So, if you're still s-off flash alpharev downgrade hboot and run RUU again. That will overwrite hboot too so if there's a problem with it it will fix it.
If you don't get it repaired it's probably a hardware issue.

Still bootloop. So it's hardware problem after all. It sucks.
Anyway thanks for help. I really appreciate. I've bought HTC One V already.
