How long was it stuck on the boot screen?
This is def not a development question BTW.

you wont get any help here. read next time!

hi, boot in hboot power+volume down, enter recovery. use backup if you have one. if you dont mount sd card put on a clean asop like cyanogen or oxygen unmount wipe everything not sd card. and flash should be sorted. if you can not get into recovery your kinda screwed.

bro sorry for that but i didnt understand you it is stucked at boot screen

try boot into recovery with cmd
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk/tools
fastboot oem gencheckpt
If that doesn't work you need a RUU, has to be the correct one for your phone... unless you've made a goldcard of course, in which case all you'd need to do is flash the latest WWE RUU

You're in the wrong section, all questions should be posted in the q&a section. Read the rules.

can u tell me how to do this coz i dont kno anything about this so plz can u tell how

If you can then take it to the nearest HTC service center, they will tell you whether it's motherboard malfunctioning or not..
I've got mine from UK and it's got the same problem and examined to have motherboard issues..
whenever i remember the good old days when i used to have a desire i simply put it in the freezer and take it out, it works for 5 minutes.. (i know it's insane ).. I even updated it with Official Gingerbread in this manner

Same problem - stuck at boot screen after flashing ROM
Hello there,
I wanted to root my phone, & I think I have done everything I think I should.
1. Rooted using unrEVOked method.
2. Flashed AmonRA 2.0.1 recovery
3. S-OFF using AlphaRev 1.08
4. Installed CM7r2 hboot
5. Flashed the latest radio
I wanted to flash LeeDroid's ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038195
I also tried to flash these ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040121
Everything went well up until first boot. It stuck at the boot screen! (Joker with S-OFF card)
Everytime before I flash a ROM, I:
1. Wiped ALL userdata
2. Wiped sd:ext
3. Wiped cache
4. Wiped dalvik cache
I thought the size of my previous SD Card (2GB) might be the cause, because I can't create enough partition size for Ext2 & Ext 3. I use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to partition my SD Card.
Therefore, I bought a 4GB SD Card to resolve the issue. Still not successful.
I did a Nandroid backup, but unfortunately when I wanted to restore to the stock Froyo, it also stuck at the boot screen! Backup was completed, but stuck at the boot screen.
I pulled the battery after at least 20 minutes at the boot screen.
My phone is:
AlphaRev CM7
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF (erasesize 40000)
HBOOT-0.93.1000
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
So now, my HTC Desire is useless. I hope somebody can help me with this. Thanks a lot.

bro i just wanna know how to do... the steps given aboove as i said dont kno anything plz can anyone give me full details abt that

Alright dude, just calm down and it'll be a lot easier and clearer to you. Trust me.
Go to here http://developer.htc.com/adp.html and download fastboot.exe and put it in your c:\
Then, open command prompt, boot your phone into fastboot and plug it in via USB.
Type in:
Code:
cd\
Fastboot oem gencheckpt
This will boot you into recovery, if it works..

if you're using clockworkmod recovery, go to mounts and storage, and wipe everything apart from the sd-card (so wipe: boot, system, cache, userdata, sd-ext) Then try flashing again.
if you're not using clock, in fastboot USB, open cmd and type
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk/tools
fastboot wipe boot
fastboot wipe system
fastboot wipe userdata
fastboot wipe cache
fastboot wipe sd-ext (not sure about that one, never done that command with cmd over fastboot so might be wrong lol)
fastboot oem gencheckpt

I flashed a ROM - finally!
Finally!
I achieved success after a week or so trying.
I decided to flash a Gingerbread AOSP, & in the FAQ, the developer (Faryaab) said since I have my device S-OFF, I don't have to flash the build with A2SD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079469
After 1 try, it works!
Thank god. No more stuck at the boot screen.

Noob with a bricked(possible) htc desire

Hi Folks,
i am a noob and have just started picking up the tricks of the trade.i have an unbranded htc desire. Was using the HiAPk rom till now. Then thought of flashing the INsertcoin 1.1.2. Created EXT4 for the same and recopied all data to my sdcard. Now when i try to flash any rom it just gets caught at the boot screen. Hi dont have a recovery image. But i do have a nandroid backup. Restoring the backup is not helping as well. The phone is s-off,rooted with clockword recovery 2.5.0.7. i do have access to recovery but, whatever i do, the phone gets stuck at the boot screen. Please assist. I guess this occured when i accidentally selected/deselected hboot/fastboot option? can that be a potential cause?

Try and go into recovery then wiping Data/Cache, then go to advanced -> wipe dalvik cache and reboot. If it doesnt work, reflash the rom and do the above steps again and reboot. See if it works

Tried doing the above steps but still caught at the boot screen whenever i reboot. Though the rom got installed but, on rebooting the same boot screen staring at me

What version recovery do you have? Try updating it, although remember that having a nandroid backup from an older recovery wont restore if you are on a newer recovery. So maybe it isn't a good idea to update your recovery if you only have a nandroid from an older recovery.
BEFORE READING ON: What partitions are you using? It could be that the new ROM you want to flash doesn't fit in the current partitions you have flashed. Stock? CM7r2? Oxygen?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Try with Fasboot Commander v1.51 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915).
Here are steps I used last night when I was in the same situation as you:
1.Once you download Fastboot Commander, make sure you have the latest java downloaded on your PC (java.sun.com).
2.Once you've done that, open up Fastboot Commander on your PC, then boot your phone using Vol Down + Power and choose "FASTBOOT".
3.Then, connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable and go to the "misc" tab in Fastboot Commander and click "Check connection", and if it's successful, then choose "print device info" so you see everything is OKAY.
4.Paste the "Device Info" here too so we can see what's up!
5. On the same "misc" tab in Fastboot Commander, tick the boxes in the "Erase partitions": System, Cache, Boot
6. Click "Erase Chosen Partitions"
7. Choose "BOOTLOADER" on your phone display, and when it's done, disconnect the USB cable.
8. Flash the new ROM as usual, while doing a full wipe right after you flashed it (still in recovery): Dalvik/Data/Cache
9. Reboot when done and hopefully it will work.
If it doesn't work, I think it will be that you are trying to install a ROM which supports a different partition table than what you have flashed, which is causing the bootloops because of the lack of space on the partitions needed.
Good luck

Hi, was using a HiApk ROM till now which needs no partitions at all. Also i agree that it might be the case that the new rom which i want to flash is not supporting the partitions(no reasons why HiAPK shouldnt run coz had been running it without partitions for the past 2months). Before going ahead ,do u think i should i re-format my sdcard to FAT32 and delete the partitions..Just in case this doesnt work out i go ahead with the fastboot commaHer. Whatever you suggest is what i am going to do. Thanks.

Also the new ROM that i was trying to flash requires a 1gb ext2/3/4. So i did a 1 gb Ext4 partition. This one is the stable insertcoin 1.1.2

EDIT: Forgot to mention that in order to use Fastboot Commander you'll need the ADB drivers. Just install HTC Sync to get the drivers for it!
Since you say in the beginning that you are S-Off and have Recovery 2.5.0.7, the only things I can think of that you haven't done are this:
1. Insertcoin 1.1.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940&highlight=insertcoin) says you need to be S-off (which you are), and have the latest recovery (5.0.1.0). So my first piece of advice would be to update your recovery to 5.0.1.0 from what you have now (2.5.0.7) but remember what I said about nandroid backups and recovery earlier on!!
2. Make sure you have a 1GB Ext2, Ext 3 or Ext4 partition on your SD-card. The way to partition your SD-card is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7279872&postcount=3
Insertcoin says it should work on the stock HBOOT which I'm assuming you have since you said you've never flashed another partition table on your phone.
So basically, update your recovery (best done with Fastboot Commander imo) and make sure the md5 sums match up. Once you've updated your recovery, make sure your SD card is ready, then wipe everything in recovery and reflash the rom, and wipe everything in recovery again before rebooting.
Again, remember that since you made your nandroid backup in CWM 2.5.0.7, it wont be able to restore in CWM 5.0.1.0 so basically once you update your recovery your nandroid from 2.5.0.7 will be useless.

Hey Eddie N,
Just one thing. Now just to get back to the ROM i was running till now, should i just flash HiAPK now after doing all those steps as u suggested? Once i get through with this i can go ahead to flash insertcoin. But , first priority now is to just run the phone out of the boot screen in HiAPK(as it requires no partitioning/no recovery issues).. Thanks for the invaluable help. I am gonna keep u posted

I'd do this now:
Nandroid back to your HiAPK, then get RomManager and in Rom Manager update your CWM from 2.5.0.7 to 5.0.1.0 (the EASIEST way). Do a nandroid backup right away through rom manager after installing the new recovery so you can always go back if something goes wrong!! Reboot to recovery and reflash insertcoin.
After doing that you should have what's needed to run insertcoin (S-Off, latest recovery, Stock hboot, 1gb ext2/3/4). Before you didn't have latest recovery and you changed SD-card but i assume you fixed your SD-card now
If nandroiding back doesn't work, reflash it from scratch. If THAT doesn't work I'm not quite sure how to help you further I'm new myself but managed to fix my bootloop last night with the method i gave you

You are the man!!!yes i changed my sd card now. MAybe my sd card has gone bad. No wonder i couldnt flash any rom..Now back to HiAPK. I am gonna setup my sdcard again using gparted. Dont rely think the partitioning tool i was using till now was wrking(perhaps damaged my sd card) Thanx a lot mate

Just checked.. The phone was loading up even without the sd card(the one suspected of having gone kaput). But, now when restart the phone with that sd card it gets stuck at the boot screen. Any reason why this can be happening?

Seriously.. there should be sticky saying that stuck at htc screen, or bootloop is not a brick.

[Q] HTC Desire, potential brick, HELP PLEASE

I've had a look for a thread similar to this but I'm new to all of this, so if there is one, I haven't been able to find it. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Even if it is only to direct me in the right direction.
As I said I'm a bit of a noob, I've been trying all day to root my HTC Desire, which I'd upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.3 stock update from the HTC website. I was able to make it S-OFF but for some reason I found myself unable to install Clockwordmod Recovery. So i decided to follow this
ww.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/htc-desire-downgrading-hboot-and-installing-custom-froyo-rom/ to downgrade to froyo and root it from there.. but when I went to turn on my phone after completely the steps shown, the htc logo flashes on and then the screen goes black, but I still hear the chimes.
I am able to access the bootloader screen, this is what is displayed, as I'm guessing as this was aid anyone who is willing to help me get my phone working again!

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6. 93. 1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-4.06.00.02_2
As I said, any help whatsoever in helping me to get my phone back to a functioning state would be greatly appreciated.
And sorry to anyone who becomes offended by any of the forum rules I may have broken!

Since you are S-Off already can you now access recovery from the bootloader screen? If yes, then try to download a new ROM. There are a lot of ROMs on the developers section. Do a full wipe and flash a different ROM
I'm a noob by XDA standards but from the looks of it it's just a bad ROM flash.

because you're S-OFF this makes your job a billion times easier.. all you have to do is flash recovery.
unzip the file I attached into c:\
download recovery, rename it to "recovery.img" (for simplicity, you'll see later) and also put it in c:\
then follow these steps:
Go to start menu, accessories, command prompt
in command prompt type the following commands:
Code:
cd\
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt
you should now be in recovery, go to "mounts & storage" and wipe "system", "userdata", "cache" & "boot".
Once you've done that, simply flash a new ROM

If you're able to access recovery, it's a very simple task of wiping your phone and installing a new ROM.
If you for whatever reason can't, you will need to use a RUU to restore it to it's factory state, and root again.

Hi,
I have similar problem: I can boot to bootloader only.
I completed root and s-off process and installed new rom. Everything was great, but I didn't have enough memory for applications and I tried to partition SD card with ROM manager to enable a2sd. After I ran Rom manager, I found that RECOVERY options disappeared. And I decided to re s-off with alpharev and it was stacked at step 3 .
Is there still any option to make it alive?

[Q] Total block my wildfire s

Hello.
I have my wildfire that's practically 2 days ago that no
Continuous reboot of the white HTC screen.
All this because I moved some app on sd system
(link2sd, s-on, root, gold card,) having an urgent need for space,
seen that the partition was over 1gb ext. result:
almost 350 apps, many even expensive, its saved data, photos,
videos, notes etc.. all gone, with the joke that is not restarted.
I tried with bootloader, recovery, custom rom, hard reset etc.,
no nothing. What do I do? I throw it in for service since
will realize modding, or someone you know give me some advice?
Thank you for your attention.
Sorry for my English

try wiping dalkiv first, i think that's often problem that causes bootloops...
but if it's because you've lost some system apps, you might need to comoletely re-install system from scratch?
don't worry about your paid apps, once you get the system up and running again, you can re-load your google account and get them all back

Hello and thank you for attention.
The problem is that in recovery mode does not gives me the chance to wipe.
Not even hard reset works. I tried to install custom ROM without any results. I want to reinstall everything from scratch, is it possible?
thanks

as long as you can get to the recovery menu you should be ok.
when you press and hold volume down and power then choose recovery...what screen do you get to? is it a custom recovery like CWM (clockworkmod) or is it the stock htc recovery (which just shows some sort of caution logo i believe).
if you have only thehtc stock recovery, you need to get a PG76IMG.zip for custom recovery and put this on the root of your memory card, then restart the phone with volume down+power and it should start reading the PG76IMG.zip and install custom recovery.....
from here you'll have all the options you need to wipe everything etc...
once you have this up and running, what i tend to do if everything has gone wrong is to wipe EVERYTHING and start from scratch.
I go into mounts and storage and format everything, then coem out, choose wipe data/factory reset, then choose wipe cache, then advanced, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats, fix permissions...
then turn off phone, choose factory reset from the bootloader menu, then bot into reovery again to install custom rom or stock rom.
hope this makes some sort of sense, this is all jsut off the top of my head mind.... :s

thanks now I try and let you know

I tried in bootloader mode with cwm recovery 5.0.2.8, and returns to the bootloader.
I installed the file pg761img. It reads CID incorrect.
Finally factory reset is accessible only in bootloader, because the device always crashes on htc white screen and when I do not restart the time.
What do you think?

if you are getting cid error, i think it means you need to make "goldcard" in order to use pg761img.zip to flash custom recovery

he should install the RUU it is stickied its gonna put your phone back to stock as if you just bought it from the store

^^^^^^this
may also still need to make goldcard though, I think I had to when I wanted to use RUU.
if you can't get around some RUU errors though, you can try using the rom.zip from the ruu, extract boot.img and system.img and use fastboot at command prompt to flash them?

no root
Help root permissions that are not forthcoming, now that a friend of mine put it back in place, I can not swirling.
I tried more than once with htc supertool v3 but no dice. I noticed, looking at the phone info
and the bootloader screen, some differences related to the rom and radio than before.
But I think the phone has the unlocked bootloader. Suggestions?

try installing root.zip from cwm recovery

ok now I try. I would explain the process please? I am afraid to make a 'more trouble

just boot into cwm recovery (which i'm presuming you have installed already? if not, just use any of the tutorials, you're s-off so should have no problem insatlling custom recovery using tutorial).
put root.zip on your sd card
boot into recovery by holding volume down and press power, then scroll to "recovery" and press power to select.
once in custom recovery, select to install zip fom sd card, select to choose zip file and choose the root.zip
no need to wipe anything, just install then reboot system and confirm it's working by launching app "superuser" and attempt to update from within the app....if it updates it will say "that was cool, do it again?"....else it will say "update failed, retry".

GAPPS disappeared
Hi, I finally solved the problem, but I have created a 'more. I installed the cwm recovery, followed by recovery I installed the zip file root. Everything perfect, it is installed superuser and then I installed from market to link link2sd 8gb sd (6.40 gb fat32 - 64mb-1gb ext3 linux swap) some apps including GMail, MARKET, MAPS AND SEARCH. The problem is that they are gone after a cleanup of the cache and the data, I also tried to install some packages from the recovery GAPPS do not install them. Some help?

if your apps are missing maybe sounds like the ext partition is bot being mounted?
run link2sd and there is an option to "recreate mont scripts", be sure to choose the correct partition type that you have created e.g. ext2, ext3, or ext4?

[Q] Bricked phone - possible hardware failure - please advise

Original thread
For over a month, I ran SinLessROM flawlessly on my Verizon HTC One (M8). Last week, I woke up with a slow and laggy phone which abruptly shut down after a few seconds of bizarre behavior. Since that time, I have not been able to boot the device past the initial ROM splash screen. I am running TWRP 2.7.1.0 and I am still able to boot into the recovery partition. However, once I am in TWRP, I cannot mount '/data' and the internal storage displays a capacity of 0 MB. Furthermore, no matter what I try, I am unable to modify anything in the phone's memory contents. Write operations such as a reformat are reported to be successful, but upon inspection of the phone's memory, nothing is actually changed. I suspect this to be a NAND failure. Below is a list of everything I've tried so far:
Rebooted countless times
Allowed phone to idle in recovery for prolonged periods of time
TWRP - Erased cache+dalvik; flashed ROM via USB-OTG
TWRP - Erased cache+dalvik; flashed ROM via ADB sideload
TWRP - Erased cache, dalvik system, and data; flashed ROM via USB-OTG
Erased cache via fastboot; re-flashed ROM via USB-OTG in TWRP
Fastboot - Erased cache and re-flashed TWRP
Fastboot - Erased cache and flashed philz touch (did not change recovery partition; still boots to TWRP)
Fastboot - Attempted to boot to RUU (resulted in boot loop)
Hboot - Flashed stock RUU per instructions found in this thread (option 2)
TWRP - File system repair
TWRP - Fix permissions
TWRP - Format data
TWRP - Factory reset
TWRP - Locked + unlocked bootloader per instructions found in this thread (with reboot in between)
Fastboot - Changed from Verizon CID to SuperCID (command executed successfully, but CID was unchanged)
When I attempted to change the bootloader flag in memory via the dd command, everything executed without error. However, I decided to use the dd command again to read from that same address and the value was unchanged. Since that point, I've been pretty much convinced that this has to be a memory hardware issue. I would love to be proven wrong and if anyone has any advice or input, I would be greatly appreciative to hear it. Thanks in advance.

Ok are you currently s-on or s-off?
also what are the stats on your boot screen? OS? Hboot version so on.

Hmm. Writing up a list of what you tried is very helpful, kudos to that. I had the whole "unable to mount /data, /internal storage the other day in twrp, and tried a plethora of " solutions". The only one for me that worked was twrp > wipe > format data.
I see you have not tried the RUU why not give that a go? Vzw doesn't have a full RUU available but the one we have in vzw android dev is more than enough for most people
If that fails why don't you try formatting the phone in windows device manager? (Someone from these forums reported that this fixed their unable to mount data options although I can't guarantee the results.)

I actually did try the RUU several times. It's listed in the first post. It didn't change anything on my system. I did try to format the phone through windows, but unfortunately it doesn't show up in my disk management.

ok as ur Verizon my knowledge is very limited as I am GSM but i had problems with RUU until i tried this method

i know it says GSM but im sure i read in the comments people have done it with Verizon too as long as you have the right firmware

Internal memory mount/write issues seem to be a recurring problem on TWRP (but not for everyone). You can also try CWM, as I've seen some folks solve this issue by flashing CWM recovery.

I already tried flashing an alternate recovery (philz touch which is based on CWM). It flashed successfully via fastboot, but it had no effect on my recovery partition. I'm still stuck with TWRP.

i thought ud have better luck this way as it only involves the External SD not the internal your having issues with

Thanks. Appreciate the help. I just flashed the firmware twice. Then in TWRP I ran 'format data' and wiped the cache, dalvik, system, and data partitions (the wipe failed). Finally, I re-flashed the ROM via USB-OTG and rebooted. Unfortunately, I'm still having the exact same issues.
Does anyone know how I can confirm this to be a NAND failure?

I'm leaning toward shipping this back to HTC. Is there anyone out there who can help me confirm this is a NAND failure?
