First of all: be sure you know what you're doing. The below listed solutions might help but might also end up bricking your phone dead.
If you can enter fastboot (back while powering on the phone) and if you have a nandroid backup, you can try to flash it back using the fastboot flash command.
OR
It's possible to run the RUU update while in fastboot or hboot usb mode (back button while powering on the phone) I had the modified usb drivers installed http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install, not sure if that is needed - but the original drivers didn't work very well with my setup in general: Win7 x64 , also I uninstalled HTC Sync.
OR
If that fails, you can try to extract the rom.zip from the RUU and flash it manually (help on extracting http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html ) JUST DON'T USE THE ROM FROM THAT TUTORIAL, THE LINK IS JUST FOR REFERENCE ON HOW TO EXTRACT THE rom.zip
The offcial RUU are in this thread, just BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT ONE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
@quanchi, thanks for your help i'll try and let you know tomorrow thanks again

Is your phone SLCD? I reckon you may have flashed an incorrect RUU, in which case you'll need to get a more up-to-date one and flash it again. In case that's the most recent one for T-Mobile, you'll need to make a gold card and then flash a generic RUU. Hope that helps.
hi thanks for your reply i don't know what is slcd? and let me tell you the stat of the phone now
when i press power phone vibrates i can see button lights on the phone but nothing on the lcd screed. Phone is not going in boot mode when i press back and power nothing happens, volume up and power nothing happens. Phone is being recognized in device manager as a usb mass storage and i can see battery light on the top of the screen as well. I dont know what is the real state of my phone and what do you call it but its a t mobile UK phone that's what i know and what should i do now thanks
Regards
SLCD is a type of display present in some Desires, earliest Desires had an AMOLED display. You most probably flashed your SLCD Desire with RUU prepared for an AMOLED Desire, hence the display problems. Search the forum for "SLCD BRICK". Your phone should be able to enter fastboot/hboot, but doesn't display anything because the display handling is screwed up. Before trying to resolve your situation BE SURE TO READ ALL THE INFO ON SLCD UNBRICKING.
I have no experience with SLCD models so can't help you much on the subject, but there are numerous threads on xda detailing dealing with this particular issue.
I don't want to sound rude or holier than thou (as I had my share of bricks and semi bricks) but I did write that you should make sure you get the correct RRU...
best of luck
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
hi thanks for your reply i'll try n post the result here
Regards
So here I will describe what I did to solve the exact same issue.
Remove the battery from the phone
Copy the proper RUU file to the root of my SD card naming it PB99IMG.zip
Insert battery
Power on phone holding the power and the back buttons until the fastboot menu opens
Choose recovery
Then it will go through a bunch of stuff and ask you if you want to flash the file you put on the SD card, I said yes then a few minutes later Bobs your uncle I was back to factory.

Faisal, it seems apparent that your device is an SLCD Desire. When you put Alpharev on it, it did S-OFF and your boot got corrupted for some reason and looped. When you ran the RUU (which was incompatible for your SLCD, and actually meant for an AMOLED Desire), you effectively unrooted it, though not restoring it.
Check my thread for a similiar problem.
If you had made a Goldcard earlier, you're in luck. You can restore your device with a generic SLCD RUU available for your device, by either running the RUU or by flashing the rom.zip from the RUU.exe file (Tip. This file gets extracted to %TEMP% folder when you run an RUU)
Things you need to know before you try solving your problem:
Know how to use adb from the command prompt,
Search for the links to shipped-roms site containing the list of Bravo (Desire) ROMS
How to create and use a goldcard
How to navigate to the temporary folder of your Windows PC
How to turn your device on into Recovery mode and Fastboot without seeing the screen
Simple search on XDA can unravel these simple mysteries.
Now, the steps to go about solving your problem:
Find out if you have a generic unbranded HTC Desire, or a branded one. A branded Desire has a special Code which prevents you from flashing a ROM meant for any other brand and also blocks a Generic RUU. If you're from India, it is branded with HTC Asia_India. If you're unbranded, things are looking much easier for you, as generic RUUs for SLCD are easily available.
Check if you have a goldcard (A goldcard is a special microsd card you made while your device was in working condition. It will allow you to restore your device using a generic RUU or an OTA)
If you dont have a goldcard, you might try to see if Recovery can be booted up. Poweroff phone, then power it on by pressing Vol- and Poweron key, then wait 30sec and press Vol Down and Poweron button again. At this time, phone gets detected in Windows (as shown by the icon in the bottom right of taskbar and a notification sound.
Type:
Code:
adb devices
If this displays a code SH**** after "List of devices", you're in luck. You can issue an adb command and get a CID of your device, following which you can create a goldcard.
After creating a goldcard, it will allow you to run a generic SLCD RUU. Check my thread for a latest RUU.
If you dont have a goldcard, and adb doesnt show the device in Recovery mode, it means Recovery is corrupted too. In this case, Power off device. Then Poweron by pressing Back key and Power on key. Again try adb devices command. If it shows the device, follow the steps of previous step.
You can also create a goldcard by putting your microsd card into a friend's phone and following the steps needed to create a gold card
If adb doesnt show your device in either Fastboot (previous step) or in Recovery, then you're in trouble. The only way to unbrick your softbricked device is to get a Generic RUU for your device (Check shipped roms site, or search XDA), and flash it. There is also a method if you have the original OTA zip for your device. Check teppic74's posts on XDA for this method.
If you have an Indian Desire, you're done for as I found out. If you dont have a goldcard for an Indian Desire, or the OTA zip, you have no option than to return it to HTC. Dont worry about Warranty being lost if it is a new phone. HTC has to repair it according to their Warranty policy.
Goodluck. I've summarized all methods available to unbrick an SLCD. For more details on any one method, try searching with the appropriate keywords from my post. It's all on XDA.
@droidzone, hi thanks for your time and reply here. the thing is i am very very basic user. Can you please tell me do i have to install htc sync first and i dont have any gold card before rooting. after following this procedure
"switch off phone. press and hold volume down. press power. release volume down after 5 seconds. wait for 30 seconds. press volume down. press power. the phone should vibrate. wait 40 seconds. the phone should be in recovery."
pc detects the phone but when i run ruu it doesn't find the phone and i have OTA downloaded as well and i have copied to micro sd but i dont know how to use this OTA. i'm sorry for being very basic

@Faisal,
No prob. Everyone is a newbie at the beginning!
But, you need to search and find out some things on XDA, and there are a lot of newbie centric guides over here which explain procedures step by step..
You need to do these by yourself though:
1. Install Android SDK. It just involves downloading the setup file, running it, and finding out where in Windows it has been installed. In the main installation folder, there is a Folder called Tools. You need to open a command prompt in that folder and run adb.exe for most of the procedures. Follow this guide to install the SDK.
2. After you have the sdk installed, boot your phone into recovery using the procedure you quoted. As you said, the phone will be detected in Windows. At this point, run the following command from a command prompt in your tools folder.
Code:
adb devices
This will output "List of devices" followed by a code starting with SH. If it does, you're in luck. You can now create a goldcard, and proceed. Follow this guide for this.
3. If the "adb devices" does not show any devices (in recovery/Boot mode), and you dont have a goldcard, you've run out of luck, pal. Honestly, no one on any forum has solved the issue with this combo.
There would still be a solution, if you have the RUU. I dont see why your RUU does not run. Try to run it in one of the following modes.
a. Switch off phone
Switch it on by pressing Back key followed by Back+Power key, then slowly releasing Powerkey while keeping Back key. This is the bootloader mode.
b. Recovery mode. Power off, power on by Vol down + Power key, then slowly release Power key. After 30 sec, press Vol down once, then power key once. Wait 1 min and see if pc detects device. Else press power key once again.
In either of these modes, the RUU you downloaded should down. If it is the incorrect RUU for your location, it will give a customer id error. If it has an incorrect bootloader version, it will show a Bootloader version error. In either of these cases, try the newest generic SLCD RUU from shipped roms. If this still gives one of the above errors, your phone is a branded phone. In this case, you WILL NEED a gold card to work.
Note that if adb devices shows your phone, then you can create a goldcard at this point.
If adb does not show your devices, and the latest generic RUU does not run, and you cant find a correct RUU for your device, then tough luck. I am yet to find a solution to this problem. Return it to HTC.

Yes, you need to have HTC sync installed for the drivers. But the HTC sync main program should not remain in the system tray (bottom right). If it is, close it by rightclicking and Exiting.
The problem with what devin mm said is that an SLCD desire doesnt show anything on screen if bricked. Yet, recovery may be selectable for some, without seeing anything. But if you ran the RUU, then most probably the recovery itself is corrupted and selecting a zip file on memory card wont be possible at this point.
Sorry that I wont be able to follow this thread for the next few days. I'm travelling, and since my Desire is with HTC repair centre, no Net. Hopefully, someone else on XDA can help out with any more qns..
I used Alpharev to S-off this device, and then trying to apply an RUU update, now it is becoming like this, screen shot attached
anyone can help?
basically, the bootloader only has "RUU" displayed but no other menu options
a black ground with white "HTC" will display when connected USB cable with my desktop.
no system boot up, no recovery.

you mean
Boot into fastboot mode (battery pull since you can't see, hold BACK and POWER. Wait about 10 seconds to be sure)

It's the PB99IMG.zip in bortak's guide .

I tried RUU without USB method:
Code:
[P3/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER). After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes
but when I press vol- and power, it still gives me the black background HTC but no option for "yes" and PB99IMG updating.
goldcard wrong?
You have to press and hold first volume down and then power button for a seconds until a white screen with three androids at the bottom appears. If you get to splash screen, you got "too far".
try
Code:
fastboot devices
to see if the phone is recognised.. I see no reason why it shouldn't work
is there any specific timing?
i did vol- first then power until sth shows up on the screen, it's still the RUU's black background HTC....
yes, fastboot devices do list the device, any my "Android 1.0" are listed in my windows7 device manager

We recently have purchased DHD, and it was pre-rooted, we are general users and don't need any high end authentications in our phone to keep it stable, since yesterday I am searching on things how to get back to stock, finally tried AAHK, and pressed 1 at main menu, it rooted my phone again (I guess), but now it is blank (black) screen with no text after green colored htc logo and white background, it just blurred and turned screen into black, and halts in there,
What I tried before posting in here:
1. tried same thing again to flash using AAHK,
2. downloaded ARHD 6.x but no idea how to install it when I have no screen.
3. When I press volume down with power it takes me to bootloader, but automatically searches for some PD98IAG.zip (its not PD98IMG.zip)
and keeps searching it, (in other words it halts there as well)
4. restarting / switching memory card, googling.
I don't know if it is allowed here or not, but I am open to any payments if it costs any, for the one who can really get this thing fixed for me.

Diconnect the phone. Uninstall all HTC drivers from the computer. Install the HTC drivers came with AAHK tool. Switch on the phone in Bootloader. Wait until it stops scanning the SD card. If it never stops, pull the battery and remove the SD card from phone then switch on the phone without SD card. Once the phone is in Bootloader try connecting the phone to the PC, then try to falsh the RUU that you have downloaded.
Hi, I know there are a lot of other similar threads but none of them have solved my problem.
I ingeniously decided to try upgrading an old Desire HD to Jelly Bean to use while I'm waiting for a new phone that I actually want to be released. I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039 successfully until this part:
7.If this is all fine boot into bootloader again.
From bootloader go to fastboot.
Go back to the cmd window on your PC from earlier, type in:
•Fastboot oem lock
Then type:
•fastboot oem rebootRUU
•fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
•fastboot reboot-bootloader
unlock the bootloader again using the Unlock_code.bin you got from HTC:
•fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

After I ran "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" my phone restarted and now it's stuck on the htc logo. I'm unable to get into the the bootloader by holding volume down while powering the device (though I was having this problem before starting the root process, instead I was using "adb reboot-bootloader" to get into it). I've also tried to leave the battery out for a while. It's not being detected by HTCSync or "adb devices" either.
Anyone have any solutions to this problem? I'm a complete Android noob so please keep it simple (though I have experience with UNIX and the command-line).

i had the same problem but fixed now. The way i did this was to actually take out the hardware for the volume rocker and check if the contacts are all in place. i then booted into bootloader by connecting my phone to a power source (computer or ac) and pressed the volume down button so that it registered. For some reason it seems to register you clicking the button better when its out of the key. Sorry if you don't understand this, I really don't know how to explain the rocker and the keys separately 0_o
Some times guys the firmware.zip file once flash does get stuck on the HTC White screen during the exploit just run ADB and continue with the unlocking of your radio. Its safe.

Wooh!!! It worked !!! Thank you very much!!!
For future reference, this is how what I did to complete the root process:
1. Pull off the battery cover, take out the battery.
2. Rip off the label with IMEI and S/N and then use a toothpick or plastic tweezers to pull out the ribbon cable from the volume rocker (see video here: youtube[dotcom]/watch?v=JfatoeWbMRk&feature=player_detailpage&t=143)
3. Press the volume down button on the cable a few times to make sure it clicks then clean the inside of the volume rocker a bit, put the cable back in, and press volume down a few times to test it.
4. Put the battery back in, connect the USB to your computer, hold volume down and press the power button so that it goes into the bootloader.
5. Go into fastboot and continue the rest of the steps from the guide.
Note: if adb doesn't detect your phone then reboot it and enable USB debugging again in Settings > Applications > Development and then reboot into the bootloader.
Thanks to everyone that helped ! :good:

Hi
I have followed your all steps perfectly... after done i have reboot my desire hd it shows htc screen and goes to qualcom mode...plz tell what should i've to do now
I have this HTC Desire I'm trying to get back to work. I bricked it about a year ago but I'd like to use it as a spare phone.
When I try to boot the phone, nothing happens. When I boot while charging, the orange led goes out for a few seconds, so the power button press is registered. However, the screen just stays black.
I've been reading methods for flashing recovery using fastboot, but booting into fastboot requires to press the Vol. Down key, which is no longer working on the device.
Is there any way to fix this phone? I'm on a Linux machine and have Android SDK tools installed, however, I have little experience with flashing software (read: I only did it by copy-pasting pre-made commands).
Many thanks in advance!

Turn the phone on and keep pressing back and it should take you to the fastboot and u can navigate out of that to bootloader to recovery.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Free mobile app
Completely power down the phone
Then use 'back + power' buttons will take you straight to fastboot
Then flash 4EXT recovery using fastboot commands, backup and partition you sd card, full wipe flash ROM
You can still navigate within fastboot and bootloader using only the volume up button if you need to
