With this information it is impossible to help you! Read and follow what erklat posted or rather meant with it.

1. can you enter ure bootlaoder
2.do you have clockwork mod or a recovery installed ?
3. are you s off or s on ?
4. what did you do eg did you flash a certain file etc ?

Is it the "white htc screen" as in the boot animation? Or the boot logo? If it's the boot animation then a simple full wipe will solve all the problems but if it's the actual boot logo, then you may be in a big mess.

Not so sure if this suggestion is workable or not.
Any chance that running a GB 2.3.3 RUU will correct the sdcard mounting problem and change the hboot that comes with the RUU then s-off with revolutionary ?
thats the point, i cant see in any way my sd card
and i dont have functional system
i have ONLY hboot and recovery which dont see SD
So, have you tried to run the RUU and it is not working ? You don't need an sdcard to run it.
And this thread should be in Q&A section.

[Q] Stuck without ROM and S-ON

Hello.
I was on CM7 since 1 year ago. I remember that I gain root access with unrevooked and then I flash the rom directly...
So yesterday I decided to install a new rom for my Desire (paranoid). So i format I format my SD-CARD + ext-4 partitioning... Wipe everything, flash the Rom and Gapps successfully. And then I'm stuck HTC logo.
So after 4 hours of searching everywhere the conclusion is :
- I'm not S-OFF
- I can't re flash CM7
- I can't make a GOLDCARD, and haven't found a correct RUU with no ID error.
- I read everything of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632 and I dont know where to start, and most of tutorials says to connect the phone in debug mode but i haven't got rom (Possible via hboot?)
- fastboot working
- recovery always here
What I should do? I can't S-OFF without debug. And can't make a GOLDCARD even with a CID obtenned without rom.
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english.

Hmmm. This is going to be hard to get out of as you upgraded your Hboot. Does the phone still register fastboot commands? Also what downgrade thread did you follow?

That's not what I mean, to unlock your bootloader you would have had to issue the command fastboot OEM unlock, or fastboot flash OEM unlock unlock_token.bin or something similar. These types of commands are the ones I'm interested in I want to see if you can flash clockworkmod recovery pal.

Ok so fastboot works, good good. Do you have clockworkmod recovery installed? If not follow my thread for rooting hboot 1.02.0000 and install clockworkmod but go no further.
Also just for your information the ruu will not install because of
1. Your honor is higher than the ones in the RUU,
2 your bootloader is unlocked.
We need to downgrade you to the WWE rom with hboot 1.01.0001 and hopefully that will restore your touch panel to working order

Clockworkmod recovery is installed, rooting hboot 1.02.0000 o.k.
and now?

ok so what we want to do know is downgrade your hboot to 1.01.0001 so to do that we need your misc partition to be edited. as such i would like you to boot the phone into clockworkmod recovery and connect it to the pc with a usb cable. windows should install the drivers if it has not done so already.
next you will need to set up your command prompt for using adb/fastboot commands.
then we will pull a copy of your misc partition to your sdcard and then copy it into your windows adb folder.
then you will upload that image to me, i will make the necessary changes and then re-upload for you.
then you will flash it to the phone all going well, re-lock your bootloader and then downgrade your hboot and rom and hopefully regain touch input
then as an extra if you want to use a rooted version of that german ruu you were trying to flash i can make you a "safe to flash" version
ok, so....
step 1. Connect your wildfire up to your pc In clockworkmod recovery mode.
step 2. open a command prompt within your adb/fastboot folder. (the same one you used to flash clockworkmod recovery)
step 3. enter the following commands one at a time. copy paste is recommended.
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
step 4. Upload this file to somewhere like dropbox or media fire and then send me a link to it.
in command prompt
su
/sbin/sh: su: not found
what i do wrong?

okey dokey, here is your new misc image. extract it into your adb folder.
i have edited this so it will re-lock your bootloader automatically once you have flashed it. one problem solved
also download this package, it has some tools you will need and the WWE rom you need to flash
lastly we need to make a goldcard. this will be hard given that your touch screen is non-functional. as such you will need a different, working android phone and YOUR sdcard. this trick is sdcard specific so dont swap them about
ok once you are ready with the right stuff, do these steps.
step 5. now we need to make a gold card. if you already have one, you can skip this part. first using your working android phone, download and install Goldcard helper from the android market. Run the app and copy down your SD cards reverse cid. double check it
step 6. now go to this website here and enter in your reverse cid. it will then let you download a goldcard.img.
step 7. now go back to the package you downloaded earlier with the WWE rom (named 1.01.zip) in it and run the goldcardtool.exe, this will flash the goldcard to your sd card. Warning! this will format your card!! in order to achieve this you will have to mount the sdcard from clockworkmod recovery to the computer, use mount usb storage and not mount sdcard.
step 8. once that is done we are now ready for the final push
Now the gold card is ready, i leave al the data on the goldcard, its not been formatted. Goldcard tool says, G: Goldcard is now ready.
The new misc image, must be copy to the phone ?

ok from here copy the Nmisc.img to your sdcard and do not rename it, leave it on the sd card within no folders.
then connect up the phone in clockworkmod recovery again, and mount the sdcard with mount sdcard and not usb mass storage.
lastly make sure that the 1.01.zip is in your adb folder.
issue the following commands.
Code:
adb shell
(your shell symbol should be a #)
flash_image misc /sdcard/Nmisc.img
exit
(now it should not be a #)
adb reboot bootloader
The phone should not reboot into bootloader and should say at the top locked OOW.
This is ok, if it does not say this then your misc image was not flashed.
if all is well issue these commands.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.01.zip
This will state an error, and that it needs to be reflushed. this is what we want, if any other issue your goldcard may have failed.
repeat the last command to reflush.
Code:
fastboot flash zip 1.01.zip
(this will take a while.)
fastboot reboot
the phone should reboot into the WWE stock rom and hopefully your touch screen will be working again. if it is proceed to s-off with revolutionary here ignore all but revolutionary and then if you want the german ruu as a safe flash rom send me a link to the ruu and I will make it. but it make take a few days.
im at work atm so my replys will be delayed pal, good luck

[Q&A] Semi bricked Desire

Hey Folks!
After the dead of my desire (7 buzzes / vibrates -> indicates a broken soc/motherboard) and the new rising (got a motherboard of a desire with a broken screen) the old lady worked again!
I got the s/n and system from the one with the broken screen - this is normal because it's stored on the mainboard. It was a CM v7 as I remember.
Here as a list of things I did and where I stuck now:
flashed an up-to-date recovery TWRP -> worked
tried to install a new rom with a new hboot which -> didn't worked out
Since here I only can access the recovery
All attempts to flash something (via recovery or fastboot) -> doesn't work
also tried to use revolutionary (even it's already unlooked and s-off) -> but the app stucks
I could only flash the boot logo via fastboot the rest results in different errors like:
CID incorrect (pb99img.zip method)
Error (When trying to flash a .zip via recovery)
And an other Error i forgott (when flash via fastboot)
Also i can't get an information via fastboot (-getvar all). There is always a errormessage.
Here is my hboot-screen
Code:
*** AlphaRev***
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
I'm not sure if something went wrong while trying to put a new hboot (partition-layout).
I have no idea what to do. Read about the half of the internet....
Anyone any idea?
Here is an other error message i get when running this fastboot command
Code:

I'm realy appreciate any help!

So good news is that it's not bricked if you can reach bootloader and recovery screen. Sounds like a driver issue or bad download of ROM, or both.
A few things to note:
- You haven't changed hboot because it still says 'Alpharev' on top of the bootloader screen. It should say the name of the hboot e.g. Alpharev CM7R2 if successful.
- CID incorrect happens when you try to flash a different region RUU. You should have tried the 2.3.3 GB WWE RUU, many threads in Q&A cover this.
- You should always try 'fastboot devices' command before flashing anything via fastboot, this will tell you straight away if you have driver issues.
This info I must have learnt reading the other half of the internet ...
What I would do:
- Confirm that fastboot is working first, check your drivers. Did you flash the recovery using fastboot? Flashing an hboot is largely the same method.
- Verify that the md5sum of the ROM.zip is correct on PC before flashing. Test several ROMs to be sure.
- Verify that the ROM is also compatible with the hboot as well or it won't boot.
- Make sure you nandroid backup if you have anything to save, then full wipe (wipe data/factory reset) before flashing the ROM.
- Make sure your sd card is correctly partitioned if the ROM requires one., as some put parts of the ROM on the partition. You will need a partition to install more than a few apps anyway.
- Post / research the exact error message if it's still not working, and at least state which ROMs you've tried.

Thanks for your reply. Some things I forgot to mention in the thread above.
I successfully rooted, s-off, and flashed a new hboot & rom to my old desire.... all before she died. I remembered I needed some tries for the hboot... but it worked out fine in the end.
I also need to say that I tried (with the new/repaired one) different clients (hardware and os, win & linux) and different cables. Just to be sure.
I also went sure that fastboot is working (fastboot devices) and there always was my serial -> so it's good for sure
I read something about that the Alpharev hboot (with the repaired phone there was also the bootsplash with 'alpha-rev s-off / why so serious?' before I flashed it away to the stock 'htc') is somehow write-protected itself which can cause issues???
I tried to flash the "Alpha Jelly (250/5/182) hboot" to be able to install CarbonRom 1.0 (4.4.4) by spezi77 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658853). But I didn't succeeded at all.

I think I flashed the recovery via fastboot, it just worked once. When I tried to flash CWM it didn't worked anymore.

My old devices was a PVT4 and the repaired one is a PVT1 - there should be no difference for the hboot i guess?

I don't have a booting system yet so I need to postpone this. To be able to do the pb99img.zip method i formatted the whole sd-card with one partition as fat32. But when I have (hopefully) soon a working system I need to partion it correctly - easy!

- Post / research the exact error message if it's still not working, and at least state which ROMs you've tried.

I tried to flash hboot 'Bravo Stock' by Alpharev.
Code:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.104s]
writing 'hboot'...
OKAY [ 0.160s]
finished. total time: 0.264s
looks good for me!
the bootscreen changed from
Code:
*** AlphaRev***
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
to
Code:
--- AlphaRev ---
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
so first and third line changed!
And because it's so nice to flash hboot i also flashed AlphaRev Jelly successfully!!
I try flash a rom now :fingers-crossed:
After I successfully flashed my hboot (twice!)....
I'm not able to wipe or install stuff....

Maybe there is something "broken" with the filesystem?
As always I appreciate any help
Did a 'clear userdata' in the boot menu and then a wipe via TWRP.
Now it was successful but with this errors in the console:

But I wonder where are these errors from
Installing a rom still doesn't work. I think the problem is this line:
Code:
E:Could not create file for updater extract in '/tmp/updater'
There is BIG FAT BUG in the newest TWRP (v2.7.1.0)
You can't install anything before manually create the tmp directory
You have to do the following steps to flash any files :
- boot into recovery mode
- choose 'Advanced'
- choose 'Terminal Command'
- You're now on the '/' (root of the file system). Choose 'Select'
- Type : 'mkdir tmp' without quotes, then Hit the enter key of your keyboard.
- Return to the main screen (Go back 3 times)
- Choose 'Install' and select the file.

I've personally never used TWRP on the Desire.
I recommend trying with 4EXT Recovery, never had any issues with it.
If you can successfully flash an hboot, you should be able to flash the recovery.img using the same method.
