So something weird happend with my desire today, I tried to reboot to recovery and it just frezes at splash screen...
cant boot to recovery or fire up the system
I think fastboot works normaly. Cause I can find my phone in cmd /fastboot devices. Is there anything I can flash trough fastboot to fixthis ?
You could first try flashing your recovery image, which you can place to the root of your SD card with a card reader. Then execute the following command while your phone is connected to your PC in Fastboot mode using ADB:
fastboot boot <name-of-your-recovery.img> (your current recovery image)
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery.img>
If what I suggested above does not work, then you could also try flashing back to stock firmware. Try to extract the rom.zip from your stock RUU (found here) and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, then place this to the root of your SD card with a card reader, for instance, and then enter Fastboot mode by first powering off your phone and keeping your finger pressed down on the back button and pressing the power button once. When in Fastboot mode (release your finger from the back button), connect your phone to your PC via USB, and wait for "Fastboot" to change to "Fastboot USB". The zip should then run for you and allow you to revert back to stock ROM.
Note: if you were originally branded, you will also require a Gold Card to return to stock ROM. You can use a card reader to create one using the Gold Card tool in my sig below.
Ok ill finnish my post here...
thanks for response btw
anyway I dont have a card reader is there no way to flash from my computer?

Just to make sure, did you put your device in fastboot mode before attempting to boot/flash the image?
What does "fastboot devices" return?
E.g:
C:\Users\Me>cd..
C:\Users>cd..
C:\>cd android-sdk-windows\tools
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
/fastboot devices returns HT061PL00341

Ok, then it finds your Desire, thats good.
The things is... you need your rom recovery image/rom image on the root of your SD card, if they are not there, then it will probably return the error you suggested above.
Try using a different phone that accepts MicroSD cards or a USB card reader/Laptop card reader (when you purchased your SD Card, it would have come with an adaptor for the SD card, place the SD card into the adaptor and then try inserting this into your laptop card reader bay).
Then you can try the fastboot commands above having transferred your image to it.
You could even try this in fastboot mode (fastboot USB) in ADB:
fastboot update PB99IMG.zip (name of your renamed RUU file)
Ok ill get myself a card reader tomorrow , if dosnt work I´ll be a new owner of an DHD

OK mate... but if you want DHD, are you aware that you can have these ROMs running on the Desire? They were ported over and contain the same new Sense UI with the Advanced Power Hibernation option, etc.
Do you not think you will be just wasting your money?

well the DHD has a somewhat larger screen. So I think its worth it(to bad it dosnt support hdmi) So if I cant get my desire up and running again I will not be that sad. I sent you a pm. thanks for all the help. Must wait untill the stores are open, to try again. I´ll give you an update tomorrow.

Was your phone originally branded? If it was (and you previously de-branded), then you need to create a Gold Card first (use the tool below in my sig with your card reader).
After you have made the Gold Card, download the following: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
Rename it to PB99IMG.zip, place to the root of your SD card. Power off the phone, enter fastboot mode (back + power), connect the phone via USB, fastboot will then change to "Fastboot USB". It will check the PB99IMG.zip and confirm its selection, and be prepared to wait a few minutes until it flashes.
you sir are my HERO everything got reinstalled, weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I´m 100% back to stock right?
no S-OFF no superuser ?
but I bet I can root it again ...
next question:
how did my phone got messed up in the first place? I know i had eclipse on with usb debugging on. I think eclipse tried to adb push some files over and I just removed the phone from the charger. I'm going to be more careful next time

Yes, you will be back to stock firmware. If your phone was originally S-ON, it will remain as S-ON unless you flashed the modified Hboot (AlphaRev) to unclock the NAND security flag providing full root access to your phone.
There will be no Superuser access when reverting back to stock firmware, unless you went and flashed a modified stock ROM that has root access (software root).
Hi guys,
Well basically, I've been a massive idiot and somehow my HTC Desire is now non-responsive. I am running the Oxygen rom from a nandroid backup that I had done previously but now i am unable to access recovery at all. The phone does power on. I do the usual power + back button hold to get into the bootloader then recovery and do the usual ./recovery-mac.sh command in terminal but all I get in response is this now:
mac:~ Dan$ ./recovery-mac.sh
Desire Recovery Mode
Pushing required files to device...
Password:
error: device not found
error: device not found
mac:~ Dan$ error: device not found
I can access the MicroSD card through a computer but the phone won't recognize there is one. WiFi works (but can't download anything from market), radio doesn't as no signal and of course 3G is out of the question.
Is there a solution to my problem?!
From a person in dying need.
EDIT:
Since trying to work this out I have reformatted the microSD card and replaced its contents afterwards, still to no avail.
Try to flash stock ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Be careful to select the appropriate RUU.
Turn your phone in fastboot (back + power) and run the exe file. You very probably might need a goldcard. Search the forum for that. Good luck !
you're going to have to talk me through this (step by step) like i'm an idiot please paul! i've downloaded the appropriate RUU but i'm not sure how to apply it. help?

Start your phone in fastboot --> Hold Back button + press power
You should get a menu which has as title FASTBOOT.
Connect your phone to your PC and then run the exe file. You must have HTC Sync installed.
If this fails try making a goldcard. You can find a tutorial here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
the computer won't recognise the phone paul. am going to have to try and make a goldcard i guess. :/
okay i am completely stuck. i have previously made a goldcard but this is just ridiculous now. my sdcard contains the clockwork mod folder so why can't i boot into recovery, what is going wrong with it? if i boot up i'm stuck on the oxygen rom, cant install anything as wifi wont download stuff as sd card isnt recognized (tell me why?), have sporadic signal, no 3g whatsoever.
can someone please explain step by step how to get recovery working again.
bumpbumpbump
So whats your current status?
Your Desire boots into ROM, but doesnt work well.
You cannot but into recovery.
You made a gold card.
Flashing a RUU didnt work.
Your SD is not recognized by the phone or by PC? Is it the goldcard you made?
Correct?
i haven't been able to make a goldcard, i have one previously that i cannot find.
the desire boots into the oxygen rom, ver. 2.0.3 but will not recognise the sd card inserted and wont connect to a mac or computer and show up as a device. i cannot boot into recovery at all as i just get device not found.
confused?

yes ^^
Do you only use Mac or have you access to a pc, too?
If you can get your phone into USB Debugging mode, you can try to flash a brand new recovery via fastboot command.
Maybe your rom got corrupted somehow.
If neither of this works, you should try another sd card I guess.
how do you use the fastboot command?
i have used the ./recovery-mac.sh command in terminal but whats this fastboot command and where can i get it?
EDIT:
I now have fastboot but whenever i try the command ./fastboot-mac flash recovery.img it ends up saying permission denied. is this because i am S-ON?

Ok, asked a friend to erase pics on my phone as was going to sell it, to him, but he basically went into recovery, and erased every file, result stuck on white htc screen. I can press the power button and the volume up and down, buttons to gain access to hbot, recovery etc, but their is nothing to flash and restore in recovery, and last rom i had is endevour rom, any suggestions please thanks.

Remember your software version?
Locked or unlocked bootloader?
Never use volume up + power! - some have reported it can brick your device , it's always volume down + power.

Bootloader unlocked and running a custom rom Endeavoru.
Well, if you don't know what ROM it was, best to just pick one and install it.
Make sure you are on clockworkmod 5.8.4.0, then flash ROM and boot.img.

Might sound a bit scilly, but how do I flash, when I cannot get past that screen, htc screen, assuming the only way to flash, is to actually turn phone past this white screen to place rom on phone?.
Hold power and volume down. Should hit the bootloader.
With the latest recovery, you can mount as card as USB and then copy ROM to phone from pc.

Ben is correct,
Flash clockworkmod touch
then you can mount your USB.
-----
Get Android SDK installed on your PC,
Put phone into fastboot USB
Flash clockworkmod touch via adb
Clockworkmod touch - http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8
Fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
Enter recovery, mount USB storage.
All of the above is done whilst phone is plugged into PC
don't flash anything on low battery

Renaming it? - not sure what you mean here.
Plug phone into PC
Put phone into fastboot USB (power + volume down then select fastboot with then power button )
Place CWM.img inside the same folder as adb, fastboot etc within your android SDK installation
Open command prompt on PC
Default installation commands are:
CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
If you installed android SDK to a location of your choice, you will haven to change the first command to that location.
Etc.

Just type the name of the Clockworkmod recovery file you downloaded, it should be recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img if you have downloaded the latest version.
No harm in renaming it but no need either. As it's a long filename, in most recent versions of Windows, you can type the first few letters then hit TAB and Windows should bring up the correct filename.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img

I tried to make it simple for you
http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8
Download that, its already renamed to CWM.img to make it simple for you.
The commands for command prompt if you installed Android SDK to its default location are:
CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
The top command is the location of your fastboot, adB etc within Android-SDK, this is the location you place cwm.IMG that you downloaded above.
You run the 2 commands above after you've put your phone into fastboot USB

I suggest charging your phone whilst you still can, don't be impatient - low battery is the cause of most problems on XDA when people flash.

I'm a noob too.But let me just share with you,
1. Hold vol down and power button to get into bootloader.
2. Once in,select fastboot then choose recovery.
You should be able to see clockworkmod recovery or TWRP,whichever you installed.But to install them you'll need to do it through fastboot on the command prompt (for Windows) or terminal bash (for MasOS).Make sure you have the recovery.img stored in your computer first before proceeding.If you're not sure about this,then maybe you can Google search it first and I'll guarantee it'll take you back to XDA.
Sorry cos I don't have the links to share.But I hope this reply can enlighten you a bit.Good luck!

Rather old news, this was solved about 3 months ago
On my HTC One V I unlock bootloader and rooted it successfully. It was working fine, but about 1-2 weeks later, when I was chatting with my friends on Messenger, it was starting to lag like hell until i couldn't do antyhing. I tried to turn it off and on with the power button. When I turned it on, firstly the logo "Quietly Brilliant" appeared and then...there was just a black screen. The phone was still turned on, but just with a black screen.. a slightly lighter black screen. I tried to turn it on and of. I can go to fast boot mode with Volume down+power button. I tried factory reset, but there was still the black screen. I send it to the manufacture, but they said, that the hardware is destroyed, because I've changed it. I think they mean I changed it with root and unlocking the bootloader...but I think that's not true? I don't think root or unlocking bootloader can change hardware. Yet I tried to unroot and relock the bootloader, but I can't do It if I can't connect my phone to my pc anymore. So my questions are:
1)How could I change the hardware?
2)How can I connect my phone to pc?
3)Is there a way to save my phone?
4)How does the manufacture know, that my phone is rooted when it can't be turned on, or connected to pc
5)Do they just lie about the hardware, so I must pay for it?
first of all, are you gsm or cdma? (do you have a sim?) If you can access bootloader, then you can fix your phone (99,9% of times). all you need to do is flash another rom with the correct kernel

Yes, I have s sim..so I have gsm i think? Right now, the manufacture is sending me back my phone. What is the bootloader exactly? Do you mean the combination of the keys volume down+power button?
If yes and I can acces to bootloader, how can I flash the rom with the correct kernel? Does it mean, my phone will be back to normal like it was at the start?
If I can't acces to bootloader, is there still a way to repair my phone?
btw I can't connect my phone to my pc...at least It didn't worked.
Don't worry, when you get back your phone tell me. If you can access your bootloader we will get your phone back to normal :thumbup:

Hey sorry I have to go to school now.. I'll write a little guide as soon as I come back, be patient. In order you have to unlock and root (if you haven't done it already), flash a recovery (I suggest twrp recovery, you can find it in android development or original android development-This also only if you don't have that already), factory reset from recovery, mount usb storage, copy rom to your phone, unmount, flash the rom, reboot into bootloader and flash the correct kernel found in the rom thread. This should work. I'll give you a hit when I get back tough.

Its bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted. Now for the recovery i found this:
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/119
They say I should download the newest recovery img, access bootloader, select fastboot, plug the device into computer and run the command:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img into command prompt right?
Yes its right. Then you boot into recovery, and mount usb storage and with the pc copy a rom into the sd card, then unmount, from the recovery go to wipe - > factory reset, once it's done go to install and select the zip of the rom. When it's done, go back to the home page of recovery, and from there press reboot bootloader. Now do fastboot, and from the pc, put kernel in fastboot folder (the same place where you put your recovery to flash it), open cmd and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, wait for it to complete, reboot and enjoy!

Good Day, first time posting so here is the huge problem i have.
1 - My power button no longer works
2 - No ROM installed
3 - Vol buttons work
So due to an error on my part i wiped my system , data, delv/cache , and because i was rushing i rebooted the phone before installing the new rom. Now normally i would just boot into recovery and flash a rom, but my power button no longer works. I can get into download mode if the phone dies by holding vol down and plugging into a pc, and such can use fastboot commands, but with no Rom i cant get USB debugging to use "adb reboot recovery" . Is there anyway that i can get into recovery or a way to flash stock recovery, system and such. thanks in advance.

No you don't need to lock bl. Or need stock recovery, That's outdated info.
Sure:
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.

Absolutely. Are you soff or son?
If son Id have to double check about locking bl but I'm quite sure that's very old info, and ruu has the stock recovery and just overwrites w.e you have
And soff you 100% don't need to mess w anything.
I'm soff/locked bl and flash ruu all the time. :good:
HTC website may even have directions but not sure.

Oh shoot I was thinking backwards, sorry. You need be stock ruu to turn from soff to son.
You can flash ruu np son, but it must match your cid/mid - Carrier ID / Mosel ID.
well its like a brick now anyway, im not sure if i did the CID "111111" , something like that a long time ago. well ill see what i can do, thanks for all your help

That's "SuperCID" and iirc you need soff to achieve, I have it as well set to that. It allows you to flash any ruu to your device.
Very welcome, mention me if you are in need of anything else.

so i just tried "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" and got security error , so i did "fastboot oem lock" but now i cant lock the bootloader cuz i cant press power to confirm, i will try to put it on the SD card and try to see if it'll auto flash. but other than that any other ideas? just for educational know how, im planning on ordering new a new power/vol flex cable anyway.

Dang yea I think you did f need the vol for SD method... Shoot.
But you don't need to lock bl..
That's not correct line: you need to be in rebootRUU mode.
I'm just gunna copy and paste this from vzw thread, applies to all.
"Option 1
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 2
EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!"
