Hey guys,
my htc desire was working fine one minute the next it reboots, and gets stuck at the htc white screen i leave it there for 10-15 minutes and then pull the battery out as its not getting anywhere(or so i think at this point) and now when ever i try and boot my phone it goes straight into hboot and i cant use the down vol key its wierd like the buttons are swapped around i use the normal buttons in hboot go into recovery to reboot and they swap, down button is confirm up is up, trackball is down and when i hit reboot, it goes back to hboot, i tried a factory reset and a dalvik cache wipe, any other ways i could try and get my desire back on its feet, warrenty is out the question as its second hand but the phone was working fine and the only thing i dont know is what ruu to try, should i just try them all?
I guess you have a gsm desire.
If you have a branded desire, download the latest one from your provider you can find here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
If you have a unbranded desire, download this ruu:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (start with pressed back and power button or enter bootloader from hboot menu with power button) and then run the downloaded exe on your computer.

Hello there,
Since I have a 'stuck at the boot screen' problem, I am considering flashing a RUU back into my Desire.
Can a RUU be flashed on custom Recovery & hboot (AmonRA, S-OFF etc)?

no, a RUU is flashed on fastboot from your computer, or as a PB99IMG.zip from bootloader.
right i did a ruu and it ran ok and got through fine so thats the phone unrooted now, but its still in the bootloop, i'm gonna take it apart and clean the buttons as they seem to be a badguy in this scenario, but when i go to power on the device doesnt vibrate or anything it just goes straight into hboot
I FIXED IT! turned out it wasnt even broken, the contacts on the volume down button were broken and always touching so that was why it was always booting into hboot, luckily i wanted to unroot my phone xD but now the challenge is to fix the contacts any ideas on ways i could do this on the cheap so i can use the buttons again? currently the contacts are blocked with bluetack in order to stop them touching xD
If i flash using revolutionary . io will i be on stock hboot or a custom. And if im on stock can i just flash leedroid's room after i root it ?
Ya. You will be on stock HBOOT only. And yes you can flash the Leedroid a2sd version for stock hboot. Enjoy

Thanks dude
once done with IO, you can also flash any other HBOOT, Radio etc.
I went from STOCK to CM7r2 fine.

That's no random screen. This is the Phone's bootloader menu. You can reach recovery from there, reboot your phone, update it and much else. If you come to the bootloader screen by just turning on your phone, most probably your boot image (kernel) is corrupted. If hboot can not load the boot image properly, it goes to hboot menu.

FASTBOOT is a special connection mode. Via fastboot (an application for windows/linux/mac) you can issue bootloader commands to your phone.
RECOVERY brings you to a recovery OS. Since you probably did not root your phone or unlock bootloader you have a standard recovery, which is not very helpful.
CLEAR STORAGE is a factory reset option. If you already tried this option all your userdata is probably gone by that time. So you need to restore all your contacts, messages etc. yourself.
Okay, how can you revive your phone?
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445 and choose a proper RUU for your phone.
Then turn on your phone, bring it to fastboot mode.
Execute the RUU tool and follow the instructions. These are official RUUs so no warranty loss.
if that does not help, there's two ways left. send the phone back for warranty, or unlock bootloader and flash a new firmware yourself.
I'll start at the beginning, Yesterday i knocked my phone into the shower, the water wasn't running but the phone got wet, I was playing music on it at the time and the volume went all muffled, i took the back off and there was only a tiny bit of water in there so i dried it and put it back together and used it, all seemed fine except it kept bringing up the screen as if i was holding the power button which brings the menu button. Now it wont turn on unless its not on charge and that is when that menu comes up, I can scroll down the options but can't click on them.
(The menu came up after my battery had died, and i put it on and charged it and that came up when i turned it on)
pleeease help
Alright guys,
I've recently changed from Cyanogenmod 7 to Wildchild v3.3 and am having substantial issues trying to remove it. When booting without being plugged in, the boot animation plays non-stop (not quite a bootloop). When plugged in it boots normally but when unlocked it will not display the home screen and will remain black with the status bar at the top. This is accessible and so are basic functions.
I cannot use the keyboard as it does not display, all apps wont load and force quit and personalisation in the settings menu is borked too.
I understand I've loaded a dodgy ROM so lets steer clear of that. but now I cannot boot to bootloader or recovery mode, even with fast boot turned off. I can however boot the safe mode. If anyone can point me in a direction of how to flash a new ROM remotely or find a back door to recovery mode. That would be just swell
Cheers boys.

I think u need to reflash recovery. Also format the system, data partition manually after u flashed recovery. Wipe data, dalvik, battery stats and install again. Are u s on or s off u, need to post these specifications when posting problem.
The plugin boot thing only happens if u flashed wrong ruu. Anyways first do the above thing and also let us know ur specifications.

Dont panic. You can flash via adb. You are s-on and nothing can go wrong. You should not have entered into the safe mood. Because it by definition would try to restore original htc recovery that is it has already killed the custom recovery. Its no big problem. If u flash recovery it will be ok.
Just install android sdk tool and flash custom recovery. I guess its already installed if u have rooted ur phone yourself. If not wait a little. I gotta search for the post with which i enabled adb. Wait OK? Did U apply any RUU?
Edit: Are U sure that u cant enter into hboot mode means after turning phone off if u press vol down+ power nothing happens???
Edit: See this video and follow the instructions And flash recovery with help from here no.4 read the full post to be safe.

Well do I need a RUU to get cyanogenmod?
Nope.... When removed battery and power and vol+ pressed, It just boots to the boot animation. Ill try flashing another recovery and get back?

Try power and volume down. If u enter in hboot mood tell me the screen details.
For example in my hboot mode there is:

hboot-1.08.0000

radio-7.46.35.08

U dont need to go back to cyanogen mod. You can install wildchild.

I've tried both now and it just boots to safe mode, there are no additional details on start up, only the boot animation. Which runs for AGESSS. Still can only access settings and phone, keyboard doesn't work and cant access apps or home screen.
What should i do now?
Edit: If I just start from scratch with unlocking the bootloader, would that work?
Edit: Finally managed it. MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

1. Download the attched file. Put it in your memorycard.
2. Press and hold Power with volume down pressed for 5 seconds
3. Wait while it completes loading, it will ask in the screen, press volume up.
4. Remove the PG76IMG.zip from memorycard.
5. Now again Press and hold Power with volume down pressed for 5 seconds and select recovery from the screen (select using vol up & down, select using power.) You should be in the recovery.
If it does, its fixed. U can flash new roms, instructions should be in the rom posts. Look in development section.
Edit: If U see ***LOCKED*** above MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL in your HBOOT screen, means U need to unlock ur bootloader. In that case I'm pretty sure U had applied wrong RUU. Anyways that can also be fixed with some extensive research....
im pretty sure if your s-on it will not allow you to flash the wrong ruu. but sounds like you had a borked recovery, reflashing recovery than your chosen ROM should fix it.

Above where it says FASTBOOT and such, there should be some other identifying information. It will say S-ON or S-OFF. However, if you used AAHK, you should be S-OFF. What happens if you say no to the update and choose RECOVERY? (Use volume keys to move up and down.) Does ClockworkMod start?

After you refuse the update, try to navigate to RECOVERY. If that works, you can then flash your ROM from inside CWM Recovery. It could just be a bad flash. If that still doesn't work, the download is probably bad. Just redownload it and reflash.

If i refuse update, the only option that i can press is press power off for reboot. Thats it, there is no way to press recovery, unless i can go back to the first screen? but there is nothing visual that lets me do that.

My bad, I forgot that happens. Hey, don't worry. If I can't get it working, there's hopefully someone here who can.
Try moving that zip off the sdcard root. You should be able to do that with adb, which you should have with AAHK. ADB instructions are at the thread in my signature. Or, if you have an sdcard reader, use the to get the zip moved off the sdcard root. Place it in a folder in the sdcard.

I'm being startlingly stupid. Try removing the sdcard altogether and boot into HBOOT. After it boots, replace the sdcard and boot into recovery. Does that work? From there, you should be able to move the zip.

Hi, when i remove the sdcard I can now move the vol buttons up and down and i put the sc card back in before pressing recovery, same thing happens goes to htc startup then browns out then black screen, tried again without putting it in and same thing.... so do you think i just need to remove update.zip?

I think moving update.zip will at least help you figure out whether you have a working recovery. I'm not sure if you're getting into recovery; if you aren't, try booting into recovery before inserting the sdcard, then mounting it in recovery if it doesn't do so automatically.

Just so I'm clear. You're rebooting while holding power+volumedown without sdcard, getting into HBOOT, and selecting RECOVERY. It then goes to the HTC splash screen and fades to black. Is that accurate? You're never getting into recovery?
