ITS STUCK ON HTC LOGO . I CAN GO IN HBOOT BUT PROBLEM IS I TRIED MANY ROMS BUT ITS ALWAYS SAY MAIN FIRMWARE IS OLDER FLASHING FAILED
ITS ORANGE BRANDED PHONE
PLEASE HELP NEEDED ANY EXPERT

Did you root?
Sent from CM7

no i dint root . can i root phone in this condotion? if possible please can u tell me the way?

you can root in hboot screen.
and root tools ,I suggest unrevoked 3.21 (root tools included clockworkmod 2.5.x recovery) .
good luck man.

You can't flash roms without rooting. Download this and if your on Windows, download the drivers too and also read the page so the drivers install properly. After you have done all of that, run the utility. Please be aware that issues may arrise when your done and no one but yourself takes responsibility what happens, but nontheless, it should be fine.
When your done rooting, go into the recovery and go to backup and restore > backup and it will backup the whole phone. Keep this just in case. It will go on your SD Card > clockworkmod/backup.

my phone is connected in HBOOT but unrevoked say connect phone in usb debugging mode now how can i connect in debuging while phone can only enter in HBOOT

I have the exact same problem, I applied the f***** HTC update and the phone never started afterwards. Just the HTC logo then reboots.
I will try to root the phone as suggested by Meaple and kosterz and will let you know how it turns.

HTC Desire Stuck on HTC logo - Recovery not Working - NOT SOLVED!!

Not sure what happened, but my Desire won't get past the logo boot screen any longer, and RECOVERY mode in HBOOT just reboots the phone (regardless whether the SD card is installed or not). I can get into FASTBOOT however. I tried communicating with the Desire via adb console on my Windows XP system (after ensuring that I have the latest version of HTC Sync installed). "adb" commands do not recognize the phone (error: device not found). "Fastboot" commands do recognize the phone. (The command "fastboot devices", gives me this in return: SH09ER801629). So I'm not sure if my USB drivers are okay with adb, but the fastboot success seems to suggest so. (Also, "MyHTC" shows up under "Android Devices" in Device Manager).
The phone was rooted with ClockWork Mod using UnRevoked, and had Teppic stock Froy v.2.10.405.2 initd as the OS. Originally, it had TELUS-branded Eclair. I've downloaded the TELUS Froyo RUU.exe, but don't know how to install it on the phone, if I can't access RECOVERY mode or adb console. I don't think I ever set up a Gold Card, to my recollection. Also, I've been out of the smartphone scene for 6 months, and did no mods, no flashes, no program installs to my phone in that time. So it's a mystery as to why this is happening. But the phone had been acting up lately, rebooting by itself during a call every so often.

if i'm not mistaken you can run the ruu and it should see the device if connected to pc with fastboot loaded.
as for trying to get back without losing data i'm new to all this so no idea
if you had run ruu on the phone and it was wrong type (i.e gsm ruu on cdma phone or other way round) then that explains the lack of capability.

Thanks for the tip. I ran the Froyo TELUS RUU.exe (should be the right type, as I have a Telus phone). It wouldn't work (in both main HBOOT screen and FASTBOOT screen). Gave me an "error 170". It could not connect to the phone, despite that I'm on Windows XP, that it says "Android Bootloader Interface" in Windows Device Manager, that it says "HBOOT USB PLUG" on the HBOOT screen when connected via USB, and that I am able to issue FASTBOOT commands from the PC. But I can't issue adb commands, so it appears I can only "partially" communicate with the phone from the PC.
Should I try CLEAR STORAGE, or could that fully brick my phone?
On the HBOOT screen, these are the status messages that load:
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
No Image!

USB Brick
For me, it sounds like a typical usb brick :/ I hope you still have rooted ROM. Search through this forum for unbricking guide.

Put the ROM.zip from the RUU on your SDCard but name it PB99IMG.zip and then boot with volume down again to enter HBOOT, it should give you the option to flash your phone back to factory default then.

Thanks! I just tried that on the advice of another poster on another forum (before reading your reply), and that's the one and only thing that worked!
Especially when, after the RUU.exe wouldn't install, RECOVERY mode wouldn't work, nor adb, nor HTC Sync. Yes, I've lost my root access, but small consideration, considering I haven't lost my $500 investment! I'm sticking with stock now, as I'd rather not risk having a brick in the future.
As for what went wrong, I can't say for sure. But considering it took months after I had installed a ROM or otherwise modified the phone for problems to show up, I'm guessing it was probably the overclocking heating the chips. Which led to eventual random reboots during phone calls, and the eventual freezing of the boot screen, and subsequent inability of HBOOT to load PB99IMG.ZIP.
xda rocks, thanks to you and all those who took the time to reply.

sorry for delayed responce. I'm sure you had already found a solution by now but in the off chance you didn't.
you have to load fastboot not hboot.
from a power off state hold back button and power on phone. this will load fastboot and ruu will find device when run.

Fastboot will only work in Fastboot. ADB will only work when phone is booted and USB Debugging is on.
I don't know that as fact, I only know it from personal experience.
Use Fastboot to flash a new ROM, or at least a new recovery image. If you can get into Fastboot, you 'should' be able to fix your phone.

+1 There is a good guide to fastboot commands on the android wiki:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
Should be a case of wiping system, data, cache, then flashing recovery image. Then boot into that and restore a backup or flash a rom.

can u plz help me frm with post u solved ur probs....i m stuck too

1st Post, got my htc desire this morning and after researching for a long time already knew i wanted to root my device.I followed the instructions on this site.[HOWTO] Root Your Desire In 1 Click With UnrEVOked! *UPDATED 20/7* - xda-developers I used unrevoked3, and rooted the device. no trouble Ive backed up the device with titanium backup. Placed cyanogen onto the 4gb sd card which came with the phone.Power off the device. Rebooted whilst holding the volume down button. Got the options up. Navigated to recovery and selected it with the power button. The screen goes blank. The o2 screen comes up saying welcome and thats it, it freezes. I have to pull the battery out of the back in order to reset the device and then it starts up perfectly normal. Tried accessing recovery mode using the clockworkmod but i get the same result.All of the points on the link above were followed. Im pretty much right at the bottom! still researching the net for the answer but im now in need of additional

Does your phone get hot and overheated during the htc logo? It did so to me and it turned out to that my CPU had melted and overheated. Take it to your retailer and they will fix it for free because it's not your fault, it's the phone that overheated.

Try this:
-download this with ur pc and rename it a PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip ok?)
-then put it on the root of ur sdcard (not in some folder) through an sd card reader
-ensure the battery is charged much than 30%..better more
-with the phone off (remove battery and put again) press and HOLD the volume down key and press (still holding the volume down key) and hold the power button..hold both and wait to enter in the hboot
-there wait a bit, and it will ask to u if u want apply the update, select yes with the volume keys and confirm with power button

Just go to my troubleshooting guide, you'll probably find an answer there.

Did you try getting s-off with Revolutionary?
I had problems when i was s-on, but when i s-offed, everything went fine.

Have you tried flashing recovery.img via AndroidFlasher(from XDA)?

[Q] Stock Gingerbread Update results in Bootloop

Hi there!
Maybe this question was asked 100 times but I really searched and searched but dont found any solution for my problem.
I got a HTC Desire with stock froyo on it - no root - no CFW - just stock.
Phone sometimes doesnt boot. Just come to green HTC logo 1x vibrate and reboot. If this happens I pulled out the battery leave it alone for a hour pulled it back and it boots fine.
Because of this error I tried to fix it with latest dev update to gingerbread. Install went fine - succesful - reboot...
Since then im not able to acces the OS. It ALWAYS stucks at green HTC vibrate on time and reboot.
Damned. Tried to flash again via RUU - same ****. Tried to flash via SD - same ****.
I have acces to Hboot and fastboot but i think this doesnt help me anyway.
So please - if anyone has a solution how to fix my bootcycle problem - give me a hint.
---EDIT---
I dont know how but i have succesfully boot into GB. Immediatly I used revolutionary to get S-OFF. Done.
Now Phone looks like it boots normally. Strange thing if I enable WIFI and connect to some network it reboot and is not able to boot again. Always reboot at Welcome screen. Battery out - wait some time - battery in - booting - extremly fast disable wifi and it works normally.
SO... is my WIFI bricked? Is anything known about that matter. If yes - are there solutions???
Thanks
CRC

really - no one can help me
damned i think my desire has a heating problem. everytime i do something little bit intesiver work - like syncing, or inet surfing - my desire does a restart and could only be reachable after 20 min without plugged in battery.
strange

Throughout reading your problems, I immediately thought it was a hardware issue. Talk to HTC and see what they say.
Punched in..

oke i allready thought about something like that
just wanted it to confirm by someone else...
thank u

Similar problem
Hi all,
I have a rooted HTC Desire that is stuck in a bootloop. It gets to the HTC screen and that’s it. I tried to upgrade from a cyanogen MOD 7 to gingerbread 2.3 with the RUU I got from the HTC DEV site. Well actually the upgrade looked to be succesfull but when my phone rebooted I got this bootloop.
So now I tried to do a recovery but I only get the “apply update from sdcard” instead of “apply sdcard:update.zip”. When I try to do this update I get a “invalid operation” and the phone reboots. I also did a wipe of the cache and data.
When I try and connect with usb I can only see a driver being loaded after I switch to fastboot.
I tried “adb devices” but no device is seen. When I do the “fastboot devices” I get a serial.
I also tried the Revolutionary software to S-OFF but again I get the “waiting for device”. I tried with the HTC sync drivers, bootloader drivers with several laptops and pc’s.

I also tried with an other sdcard from a working Desire but I cannot get on the sdcard.
I tried to “mount” the sdcard again with 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' but no luck.
Please ask if more info is needed.

thanks in advance,

Search for a user called 'bortak' and look for his troubleshooting guide, it should give you enough info to get your phone working again!

It sounds to me like you should have read and learned more before you did this. If you can press volume down + power and you get the Clockworkmod Recovery then you can stop worrying. Plug the phone into the PC via USB cable and then using the trackball or the volume +/- buttons scroll down to 'Mounts and storage' then press either the trackball or power button to select. Once there scroll to the bottom option, 'Mount USB storage'. Your PC will hopefully recognise it as a disk drive now.
Now go pick any ROM that will work with a stock hboot, they will quite clearly say 'stock'. I personally use LeeDroid 3.3.3 HD wotsit, Apps2SD. Runs well, battery life is good but don't feel that you have to copy my choice, any ROM with a 'stock' version will work.
Download it and copy it across to your phones SD card - you did remember to connect the phone as I detailed above right?
Ok, once done press the back button on the phone, press back again to get to the main menu then select factory reset, then wipe cache then select 'Advanced' and wipe Dalvik cache. Press back, install zip from SD card, select the file that you copied to it, let it do its stuff and click reboot when prompted.
Hopefully, you'll have a working phone.
A couple of caveats though :-
1) You will lose all apps and data and have to start afresh
2) You will lose all contacts and messages (unless already backed up to Google)
3) I am assuming that you have created an EXT partition on your SD card. If not then you have REALLY jumped into this too fast!
And finally, don't try flashing different hboots via the pb99.img method until you have a clue what you're doing.
Good luck.

Hi there thanks for the quick reply,
the problem is i can get in to fastboot, but when i try to go in to recovery the phone stays stuck in the white screen with the htc logo and thats it.
i already rooted a different desire and that went smooth. no probs what so ever.
So i repeated the same steps on this desire and everything went exactly the opposite
way that it should have been.

Volume down + Power on is not fastboot, that's recovery.
I'm out anyway, all of the answers are available.

You have to create a goldcard:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/308798-pc-application-goldcardtool/
You can this with another working desire as well, because goldcard is only connected to goldcard and has nothing to with the phone.
When done, put this in your desire and then flash ruu via PB99IMG.zip file again. The goldcard will avoid CID error.

will it work if i use my Legend for making the goldcard?

Don't see why not. Just give it a try.

vibrates 7 times... that's a bad sign :S

now i keep getting main version is older???

now i'm stuck with the htc logo and the for reclamation marks in every corner.
i cant use android flasher because i'm S-on
if i try to update i get : radio v2 failed.
then partition failed?
i have created a gold card without any problems. but now the phone doesnt even give me the chance to select fastboot or recovery, it only says RUU and then the 4 exclamation marks.

Could be radio brick. Hope for you that it is not!
Did you use the PB99IMG.zip method with your goldcard?

is it possible that the gold card i created with my htc legend doesnt work in my HTC desire?

Don't see why it shouldn't work. But not 100% sure.

[Q] a problem met during "the easiest root method"

Hi,
I have a plain HTC Desire, and I am trying to root it.
My software information is:
Android version 2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c
Softeare number: 2.29.405.5
I am following the guide found here on xda, called:
"The easiest root method of all is(works for any Desire!):
[GUIDE] One Click How to Root the GSM & CDMA Desire with Unrevoked 3.21"
I met the following problem:
I turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down. Here, I do not have an option called HBOOT USB.
I connect the phone to the computer (with OS Windows 7) and the HBOOT USB option suddenly appears in the phones HBOOT menu.
So I do as it says in the guide: I use the unrevoked modified usb driver and I refresh the driver in device manager. This works and the Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone.
However, when I reboot the phone in order to proceed to the running of Unrevoked 3 reflash package, the phone is no longer recognized by the device manager. Device manager now sees the phone as "Other devices/ADB", and I cannot "refresh the driver" as did before.
HTC Sync or other interfering problems are not installed.
The phone is set to charge only and usb debugging is allowed.
The unrevoked 3 reflash does not recognize my phone and is in waiting status, nothing happens.
If I enter the phones boot menu again, the device manager recognizes the phone, but unrevoked 3 reflash still does not.
So now I am stuck.
Can someone help?
Thanks a lot.
Agoston
