[Q] Black Screen on Boot Up - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I originally had Runnymede on my phone but have just changed to Revolution3D
Everything said it was installed ok but when I reboot, I get the HTC logo, then a flashing 3d image for a minute or so then it just goes to a black screen and the phone is non responsive. (My PC also doesnt recognise the phone)
Looking for advice on how to try and resolve this or undo the install

Partitioned SD card correctly and wiped everything before flashing new rom?

HTC Desire , stuck on boot screen

I recently followed the unrevoked guide to root my phone and put on the clockworkmod custom recovery image (for slcd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618). Everything appeared to go smooth, unrevoked said it was a success, been using it for a few hours now and all of a sudden it wont boot sits at the htc screen, I also can't boot into recovery mode (shows a black line at the top of the screen then powers down). Its a brand new telus desire. Anyone know where i go from here to trouble shoot this/reset the device.
last thing I did was copy over a froyo rom to the sd card and try to install it using clockworks rom tools from the sd card, however that process just rebooted my phone. So i assume it didnt do anything.

[Q] Need Help - No Startup after installing ROM/No recovery

Hi everyone.
After rooting my phone, disabling S, instaling Clockwork etc etc. managed to install a ROM while in recovery mode (Clockwork).
Now, when I boot up, I can leave it to boot and it will go past the HTC splash, into the loadup screen for my ROM (Cyanogen), but the load animation just loops.....
If i try boot into recovery.....It vibrates maybe 5 times and the green light stays on at the top where message notification is. It does nothing.
Is there a way to re flash from the PC? My phone is stuck in recovery usb and USB charge if thats of any use.
Thanks.
Well, Ive done a bit of research.
Ive tried re installing various ROMs including origionals.
Managed to boot it into clockwork recovery mode, and instead of re installing the backup I had, I created a new one.
I then figured out how to mount the SD card to my pc and installed a few more ROMs, but those havent worked either.
Currently have this installed;

But it boots up witht he HTC logo, and then boots up with the quietly brilliant logo. Then it loops and plays the startup sound.
Im really Stuck please help.

And you have deleted the old one? And you didn't store a old backup on your PC?

[Q] Need help please!!!

I am running htc clays super cm7 v 2.3 on my g2. everything has been working beautifully. I recently downloaded bootflash lite to change my splash screen. And after I used it and was not happy with it, I uninstalled it (bootflash lite), I reapplied the old splash screen i had before through bootloader. And ever since then I have been getting random reboots. Once it gets past the splash screen it gets stuck on my bootanimation and will not pass unless I pull the battery and restore my backup through recovery. Phone will work for a few minutes afterwards then will do the same thing. Does this have something to do with bootflash lite? where are the splash screens installed when you use it, if i can find it with root explorer and delete it will that help? Is there anyway to fix this?
Seems to reboot after I return back to stock sms
Well if it all happened after you changed boot animation, maybe reflash your nandroid back up of that rom or reflash a fresh rom..bet the problem goes away

Hi, I am the developer of BootFlash. BootFlash installs the splash screen to a partition on your internal memory. This partition is located at /dev/block/mmcblk0p19. I haven't heard of this happening as a result of BootFlash. I have used the app countless times on my phone and have never had a problem. This partition is also known as splash1 when using fastboot.

[Q] No menus since SD format

Hey there.
Today I needed to use an SD card temporarily, so I grabbed the one out of my phone, and not thinking, formatted it. I had previously installed a custom ROM maybe 9 months ago. When I put the SD card back in and turned the phone back on, there were no menus or lock screen. Just the bar along the top (which I couldn't drag down), with the time/battery etc. It did say I was connected to my 3g network. I panicked and tried to fix it myself by resetting the cache and eventually installing another ROM (MIUI_AU). I believe I was originally running LeeDrOiD 2.5. That didn't work, and my phone would sit on the HTC loading screen indefinitely. I tried to factory reset it in the recovery menu but it still doesn't display anything other than the top bar. How exactly should I go about fixing it? (I have since corrected the SD card in gparted).
I can't attach a screenshot of what it looks like, but yeah basically I can only lock the screen with the power button, nothing else does anything. Only thing on the display is the top bar and wallpaper.

Any backup via recovery to restore? If not you need to start from the scratch

The 4th different rom I tried worked. Must have just been an incompatibility with my old radio/hboot.

[Q] HTC Desire Looping "quietly brilliant" startup screen

My HTC desire with the official ginger bread update on is now looping the "quietly brilliant" startup screen - my battery run out and when I started charging it and switched it on, this happened, completely random
I have tried recovery mode etc, however this doesn't work
Does anyone know if there is anything I can do?
Does it go to
- bootloader mode vol- and power
- fastboot mode back and power
I had the same problem, after doing some research I came to the conclusion that the issue was with the partition type of my memory card.
Try this, remove the memory card insert the battery and then restart [do not insert the memory card]. If it works now then you have the same problem I was facing. If not then this could be something different.
Reply, if the same i will provide the solution.
try deleting (wipe) user data and dalvik cache if you don't have something important.

Key phrase here is "with official gingerbread update".
via xda app
yes it has the official gingerbread update on it from the htc dev site - ie I have never rooted it or put a custom made rom on it
recovery or fast boot, ie switching on with volume buttons doesnt work
I have tried without the memory card and without the sim card still loops
I just cant seem to stop it looping this screen!
*edit*
oh wait, I just tried fast boot, back and power and that worked!
what can I do now? reinstall rom?
The only option you have right now would probably be to run the official gingerbread RUU again. Unless you wanna root it from this point forward.
You'll probably lose all your data which is probably lost at this point anyway.
My concern is that it just went crazy and you are on stock so I feel something else might be broken.

Get the 2. 3. 3 RUU from htcdev only and run it from pc.
