Possible brick. Bootloader access but no recovery. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Check post 10 for an update on progress after running the stock RUU
Been reading XDA for awhile, first time posting. I'll try to put as much information on here as possible so please excuse the long drawn out post.
Have been running MIUI 11.16 release on Evo 4g until two days ago. My evo began bootlooping in my pocket, which happens sometimes but usually on the splash screen. This is usually fixed by a battery pull and a ROM reflash in Clockwork Recover. However, on this occasion my phone has been bootlooping on the HTC screen. I booted into bootloader and attempted to then boot into recovery but the loop continued.
I have the original PC361.zip still on my SD card so decided to run the update and see if that would reset things. The update was successful and I attempted to boot recovery . The HTC screen flashes and proceeds to a black screen with 5 vibrates and a blinking LED. This now happens every time I turn on the phone with booting into the bootloader.
I attempted (perhaps incorrectly) to flash clockwork recovery through Fastboot USB through my Mac Terminal, but have been unable to do so as it won't allow a remote flash.
./fastboot flash /recovery /Users/****/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/recovery-clockwork-1.8.1.7-supersonic.zip
sending '/recovery' (808 KB)... OKAY
writing '/recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
So, to recap. Normal boot results in 5 vibrates and a green LED flash that is only reset by a battery pull. Fastboot access is available, but perhaps not usable by remote access. No access to recovery. Cannot mount SD card onto my Mac (not sure if that's a given). Top of bootloader screen says the following:
Supersonic EVT2- 3 ship s-off
HBOOT-0.79.0000
MicroP-041f
Touch Panel-ATMEL224_16ab
Radio-1.39.00.04.26

I've done a lot of forum hopping and reading and it seems like this is the most relevant information for trying to fix this problem. At this point, my only real goal is to make a phone call or two so I'm not worried about keeping my root since that can be fixed later. Any suggestions would be much appreciated and I can furnish any information you might need.
Thanks

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM RUU updater from www.shipped-roms.com?
This may not get you into your rooted state with your custom rom, but should at least get you into a usable state.
You should still be rooted afterwards, but will need to run UNREVOKED FOREVER, to get your clockwork recovery back.

Just downloaded an executable RUU filed from Shipped ROM's. I'll go find a Windows system and give it a shot. I'll update in a bit.

I think the .exe is finding the android device, but doesn't do anything after update is hit. Is there a way to connect my phone to the computer to run this .exe through bootloader?

Select hboot usb and make sure the drivers install (probably windows only, sorry) then run the ruu. I think the needed drivers are included with the htc sync software (windows only as well I believe)

Just tried with hboot usb plug hooked up and it didn't recognise. I'll try to install HTC Sync and give it another shot. Thank you guys for the help so far.

The RUU successfully installed and booting the phone no longer causes the 5 vibrations and the green LED. The phone is still bootlooping at the HTC screen going to a black screen and then rebooting.
This is the first breakthrough I've made in days. Any ideas on where I should go from here?

I would think maybe flash radio, then they to flash recovery. Maybe wait until someoe else chimes in though

I tried to flash recovery through Fastboot and my Mac terminal, but I'm still being denied remote access.

A quick update on the situation to try to consolidate any progress so far...
I successfully flashed the stock RUU which should have returned everything back to stock. I'm still stuck in a bootloop from the HTC screen to black screen but no longer have the 5 vibrates and the flashing green LED.
My Bootloader heading is as thus...
Supersonic EV2-3 Ship S-off

Booting into recovery from Bootloader still causes the boot cycle meaning that the RUU didn't fix everything. Also, S-OFF still seems to mean that the root appears to be in place (maybe?) so no luck of returning it to sprint. Still cannot remote flash from the command prompt in windows.
I'm not sure what to do next. If I had to wager a guess it would have something to do with the PC36img.zip file, even though I'm not totally sure what this means or which one I should attempt to load. If this is the case, I can go buy an SD card reader today and attempt to load another up if anyone can suggest one.
Again, thanks for all of the help.

did you try to unroot don't know if you used unrevoked but if you did try to flash the s-on tool and then flash the 3.29 ruu that should put you back up to stock and load good but if it doesn't then you may have a corrupted nand. Don't take my word for it cause i know computers more than these phones i know enough to get me by thats about it but if they are anything like computers i would venture that as the problem

Just realized my old BlackBerry has microSD support. So I can load something onto my Evo SD card via that quite easily if you think a certain PC36img.zip file would work. I just have no idea what those PC36img.zip files are or do. :/

Is this the pc36img you tried? If not try it.

Try hboot usb and start adb type push unrevokeds-on.zip that should give you s-on then run the 3.29 Thu that should work

No internet access last night at the apartment for some reason :/. I'll try flashing the PC36img.zip and if that doesnt work i'll try to adb push the s-on file and get it back to total stock to bring it back to sprint.
Thinking about it though, I'm not sure if I had adb access from hboot. I'll update you guys soon.

[Q] Desire Stuck at HTC logo, Cant get to Recovery mode also[ Donate £5 for fixer]

Yesterday the problem started with boot loops. I took the SD CARD out and teh boot loop stopped and rebooted fine.
So i went to gparted and cleaned ext3 and deleted all files in fat except clockwork folder
then i did a nandroid restore and everyhting was fine till today
Today in the middle o the game pool break demo it shut down
no more boot loop just stuck at htc logo
bootloader works fine
but when i go to my clockword recovery, same thin, get stuck at htc logo
phone is unbranded
what can i do now?
i took out sd card like last time and booted still stuck at htc logo
bootloader works though
Since clockwork mode do not work i dont know how i can recover the phone.
is it possible to do some recovery with usb cable and android SDK?
Please Help
Edit: Will pay £5 to the person who helped me sort it out.

i don't suppose that you are S-off. if not boot in hboot by shutting down the phone(or removing the battery). press volume down+power on. go to 3d option which says "clear storage", press power on. confirm via power up. let it do it's thing.
report back.

i am afraid that you will have to restore your desire to factory settings via PB method or RUU.
can you post details of your phone like radio, firmware, locked-unlocked, branded-unbranded etc?

Ok i just read on another thread.
Fast boot is press back button and power on. I can see Fastboot in red written
Volume down i cant see Fastboot written. IT says hboot.
so i am installing htc sync 3.0 now
once installed
-i trun phone using back button into fastboot mode
- plug usb cable
- run the ex u gave me
So you sure hboot 0.93 can be rooted with unrevoked.
Last time i had 0.83 and i had to do crazy things to go back to 0.80 so i could root

yes i'm sure

HELP - HTC Desire Can't access to fastboot (Recovery) - I have S-OFF

Hi,
your help is very apreciated.
I have a HTC Desire (Bravo) and MIUI rom. Today, I try to update the ROM version from 2.3.4.a1 to 2.3.5.a1, I simply go to recovery, and make clear cache, clear Dalvik and install de new rom.
After, the phone start well, but when I make the first reboot, the phone get in a loop on rom (Miui) boot screen and never start (only turn off taking off the battery).
When I try to get into recovery using fastboot, it doesn't work, I push vol down + power, but the Desire always start normaly and freeze in boot screen, fastboot NEVER is showed.
Can you help me please?
p.d:I have the S-Off
Thank you in advance

Try pressing the 'Back' button and power instead. If you can get in to that then it can be fixed.

What happens?

Nothing is happening with Volume down n power button. Only when I'm pressing the power button The display is giving different weird colors after 2-3 minuites. Please help me out.

Get on your computer, make sure you have the Android SDK installed (you need adb), open up a command prompt and run "adb reboot bootloader" to get into HBOOT or "adb reboot recovery" to boot into recovery. Keep sending one of these commands until it works. You could also run "adb devices" multiple times during boot to find out if your phone is recognized at some point. If it is, the above commands will work.

Well right now its condition is a little better I think.. When I press Vol down n power key Getting a white HTC printed black display with "! sign each four corners.

Borrowed Desire won't boot (white screen)

Hi!
First off, I've been searching for the answer all afternoon, but with no luck.
Here's the thing. My GF borrowed my friends old Desire, because her Legend broke.
When we tried to boot it up, it was stuck at the white HTC screen. So i entered Hboot and tried to use recovery with no luck. Recovery was also stuck at white screen.
My friend had removed his SD card before we borrowed the phone. Could that be the problem? Both me and my friend are pretty new to rooting/flashing. All the info he could give me, was that he was running some Modaco rom, and had used Unrevoked to root the phone.
I tried to download a Modaco rom and rename it PB99IMG.ZIP and putting it at the root of our own SD card. No luck.
Then i tried to put the update.zip (CWM file) with the hope that I could then load recovery. Also no luck.
Also tried to plug in USB cable, so that I could maybe wipe phone and install a new RUU. USB was recognized in Hboot (HBOOT USB PLUG status), but no access gained on the computer. I have manually installed drivers.
My friend lives a bit far away. So is there a way I can solve this without his SD card?
Thanks in advance!

bortak> Awesome guide, will check it out right away!

Okay, so now i followed bortaks guide. Created a gold card, downloaded latest recommended RUU, and then ran it while connected with fastboot usb.
At first i had problems when the RUU rebooted the bootloader. The phone shut down and disconnected instead of rebooting. Tried a few times, and finally got the installation to move on by keeping the phone "alive" through pressing vol buttons -although with a black screen.
But by 29%, while updating radio, the installation froze. After some time i unplugged USB and let the installation fail. So now I'm stuck with the four triangles with exclamation marks. I can run the RUU again and again, but it keeps freezing at various stages of installation.
What to do? It's not bricked, so there must be hope?
Can I take a different approach? Through ADB perhaps?
Thanks again!

RUU installation keeps freezing on my pc! Tried to click vol button to perhaps keep the phone "alive", but then I got error 155
Can't seem to find anything on Google about RUU installs that freezes - do any of you know what to do? Can't I use ADB or anything to flash the ROM?

Okay, so now i followed bortaks guide. Created a gold card, downloaded latest recommended RUU, and then ran it while connected with fastboot usb.
At first i had problems when the RUU rebooted the bootloader. The phone shut down and disconnected instead of rebooting. Tried a few times, and finally got the installation to move on by keeping the phone "alive" through pressing vol buttons -although with a black screen.
But by 29%, while updating radio, the installation froze. After some time i unplugged USB and let the installation fail. So now I'm stuck with the four triangles with exclamation marks. I can run the RUU again and again, but it keeps freezing at various stages of installation.
What to do? It's not bricked, so there must be hope?
Can I take a different approach? Through ADB perhaps?
Thanks again!

oooh dear you shouldnt have disconnected it whist it was updating the radio.
i fear you may now have a radio brick

So I can have bricked the radio - but the phone will still respond?

unfortunately yes, if you unplug the phone and turn it on, it should boot in RUU mode, at what point does it say FAIL! ?
if it is on the radio, then I'm afraid it's bricked.. if you managed to luck out somehow and it isn't, then you could try again.

When i turn it on, the black splash screen with exclamation marks comes on. If i try to turn it on with usb cable plugged in while running XP mode on virtual machine, i see the white screen with version informations. But it only says RUU with an orange background.
Tried to install the new Gingerbread RUU from the HTC hp, but it still freezes. Think I'm out of luck

hmm... stick your phone in the freezer (in a plastic bag) for 5-10 minutes then try again.
I know it may sound strange.. but it may be overheating or something.

Whoever you borrowed this from will not be happy haha

Which RUU are you trying to install?
I had the same issue when I realised I was trying to install a 2.1 RUU on my desire which was a bit silly, I had identical problems. used the correct 2.2 RUU and all ok

voodooboy3000 - Was trying to install official 2.3 Gingerbread RUU.
elliottg61 - It was crashing all the time when he had it, so he said i could have it if I could fix it. I couldn't

I would give the original firmware a go and get it back to stock. was it originally locked to a specific provider? if not use this RUU

Your not even s-off. How did he use anything to root. Granted my experience is with the bravoC. The GSM I'm sure is different. I would find the newest ruu available and try to flash that from hboot. If it takes forever go away. Don't touch it. Don't unplug it. Don't do anything till its done. If it wont flash after 30 minutes your screwed I think. U can try it over again. But if u have an official ruu it should flash no problem. If it gonna flash.
Try flashing a shooter port on the og evo, or flash a rom on the shooter. It can seem to hang on you for a while but it just takes time.
Edit: try this just rename it and stick on root of SD card and boot phone with volume down and power and then leave it be.

[Q] desire stucks black screen htc with /!\ In every corner

hello
after sending it to the repair because it was not able to turn on, my htc desire now boots again but stucks on htc black screen with /!\ In every corner, when i put it on pc via usb and pull it this message appears:
repaired by ORT
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT- 6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEK-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
so help me please what can i do to repair it myself ? i tought a S-OFF desire is easy to be repaired so i wish it's true !
thank you

Nevermind. Still learning.

/!\ in 4 corners means its pretty much ruu mode. So ul need to flash a ruu.
Try this first, Because ur s-off pull the battery out and put back in then press and hold back button then press and hold power button (so both same time) and see what comes up. Either it will boot into fastboot normaly, or boot into fastboot but with ruu in pink or it will just display the /!\ again.
Ps: jordyNL, its not radio brick, just ruu mode.

What is your aim, I assume you still want a custom ROM?
So you can't boot into bootloader (Volume down + power) or fastboot (Back + power) at all? If you can get to either of these you can flash a new recovery through fastboot, then full wipe and install a ROM like before.
Otherwise I think you will need to flash RUU as advised, find the 2.3.3. GB RUU, don't be scared of flashing it. Yes if you do it correctly you will make it S-ON...but you can always S-OFF again, just like you got it S-OFF in the first place

i want any ROM that makes it work, and i tried both things " back + power" & "volume down+ power" but it still boots with 4 triangles, and also i don't want to make it S-ON because i don't know how to make it S-OFF again cuz it can't boot in fastboot or recovery ! that's the problem !

Again, don't worry about that. Once you flash the RUU everything will be reset as normal, that's the whole point.
You have two options:
- Do nothing, try all button combinations and keep seeing those 4 triangles...
- Flash the RUU to get it booting. It's the first step in making anything work. I assure you that you can S-OFF once again...
Your choice

okay but how S-OFF again ? and what RUU should i choose ??

Like posted above, use the 2.3gb upgrade. Then to s-off after that use revolutionary. It will s-off ur phone in 2 mins, its really simple.

but the problem in revolutionary is that always when i run it it says "waiting for device" and never detects my device i don't know why !!! and about 2.3GB ruu can u send me the link ?? and should i look for the radio version for every RUU i try to use ?? i wish you answer all this questions plz !! i'm sorry for all that

I'm on phone right now, can't find links as easy, but I promise if you use the internet you'll find what you're looking for...applies to most things actually
As for revolutionary, likely you didn't follow a guide and didn't install the correct hboot drivers? Again find the drivers and a (video) guide by searching.

if u click the troubleshooting guide by bortak in my sig then ul find 2.3gb ruu there, in resources. and like eddie said u prob dont have the drivers installed, thats why u get the "waiting for device"

i tried to boot it via the command "fastboot oem boot", it boots with white screen and green HTC logo, and vibrates 7 times and then returns to the black triangles screen ! what does it mean ??
also i want to know more about fasboot commands and how to use them, and if can i S-OFF it again with fastboot commands if the RUU doesn't work ! because revolutionary still can't find my phone and the drivers are installed correctly !

Vibrates 7 times usually means hardware problem. U can only s-off if the phone is working/booting. Where did u send it for repair? Coz they obviously didnt fix it

The 7 vibrations may indicate hardware failure unfortunately.
However one step at a time...Have you looked the troubleshooting guide?
Have you actually tried running the RUU yet?
You need to get the phone booting properly first. Revolutionary runs when the phone is booted into the OS I believe, not from bootloader.
Which drivers did you install? These are not the same ones when you install htc sync.
You should learn fastboot anyway, again find a guide. You can't s-off the desire with fastboot though.

i sent it to repair in my country ! algeria, it was on bad situation " doesn't boot at all nor charge, like dead phone" so he worked on it i think he does ORT jtag to boot it again, but still on 4 triangles !! so it's sure hardware problem ?? can't be fixed without changing a motherboard ?!

After you get it booting, then you will need to find and install the modified hboot drivers (not normal android usb drivers). Search for a specific revolutionary guide to explain it. The link is also on the revolutionary faq page

if i can boot it it means the problem is solved !! so about the RUU i tried several times before getting it S-OFF !! so it was S-ON and i tried a lot of RUU's and always problem with RADIO it can't flash it !!
