[Q] Bricked htc desire

Hi all,
I'll give a quick outline here then go into more detail below if you need it. i've tried things suggested in the other bricked htc threads but none seem to work.
I've basically follwed the root guide at droiden, made a gold card and rooted my htc desire phone which went ok. problem was i then installed the suggested rom in the tutorial which was for an amoled screen but i 've got an slcd screen (i'm thick).
The upshot is my htc desire will only start up sometimes and when it does just goes to a loading screen with a bright colourful x then switches off. holding volume down and power or back and power doesn't bring up the boot menu or fast boot. i've tried to flash from one of the ruu.exe files but it just keeps saying my phone has less than 30% charge (it doesn't) and quits the ruu. Is there any way to recover my phone via another method? I've got the coldcard used to root the phone.
Many thanks
Detailed description
i've basically followed the guide to root here at droiden
and installed the rom here de frost rom it suggests.
rooted fine then i flashed the rom (the de_frost one suggested in the tutorial) - got stuck on a colourful X screen and now won't turn on. it'll only turn on if i connect to a pc and open unrevoked but then it just boots to the colourful x screen until it goes off and then i'm back to the begining.
going off that other thread it sounds like i've used the amoled rom when i've not got an amoled screen.
to make matters worse i've followed these two steps here in other threads on here which suggested a new ota or ruu. ota wais a broken link and with ruu.exe i get an error saying my battery is below 30% (it's not) and so it won't go any further.
are there any other options available to me to restore my phone bearing in mind that volume down and power doesn't bring up the boot screen (just white htc screen then colourful X screen) so i can't even do a hard reset that way. Not bothered about wiping the phone's memory just want to get it back so i can start from scratch with the right rom. i have the gold card used to root the phone.
any help appreciated - thanks.

Needs to be a gold card if your phone is network branded
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

ok i did it and it worked first time - it let me get to the boot screen but then after it rebooted it just won't switch on at all now.
any ideas?

Did you let it run till the phone booted?
Take the batt out for a min and pop back in and try. And also make sure you got a good charge
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

yeah it said it was rebooting but then never came back on. i'll give it a good charge and try again.

right it will now turn on everytime but won't go to the boot screen. Volume down power and back power just start it up and it sticks on the loading screen with the x for hours.

What radio have you got installed ? What network and version Rom did you have before ?

i'm not too sure. i bought the desire from ebay. it's an orange branded htc about 2/3 months old. i followed the root guide here (can't post full links as i'm a new member- just stick a www dot infront of)
droid-den.com/phone-guides/phone-guide-how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hboot-0-80
and install the radio & rom here
droid-den.com/phone-guides/phone-guide-how-to-install-rooted-android-2-2-on-your-htc-desire
if it would just go to the boot menu i'd even wipe the thing and start again!

ok for some reason after 24 hours of trying it will now let me go into the boot screen
for some reason i left the room and came back and it's working.
i've no idea what has happened.
it's completely debranded and rooted with a basic rom.
can someone advise me of a good stable rom which will work with a slcd screen?
many thanks

Best Rom I find is MIUI takes a bit to get used to but you will love it if you miss the clock just download fancy widget .. for the HTC clock and weather. just Google it and get the.apk
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

hmmm. can't download anything from the android marketplace. just says download unsuccessful.

for any who has the same problem - think it was a schoolboy error. when it sticks on the x screen the options must be in the background. press volume down then press power and it boots.

Never heard of this issue. If i got u correctly, screen goes black with soft keys flashing means screen displays as if opened a black picture. Hboot options inaccessible. Was the os getting booted or not. Check it by making a call to wildfire from other phone. Is ur phone s-off by xtc clip.
Anyway cannot tell u the solution. But coming to the possible ways, u have RUU method and PC49IMG method. And warning, donot upgrade to the official froyo if u r not on it.

sir im using cm7 and my phone is rooted i remember the last time i used my phone is i download some apps in the market then somebody calls me when i pick up my phone its already a black screen and the 4 buttons on the bottom are just flashing so try to pull out the battery it doest open anymore...

and sometimes i can access on hboot but my phone usually hangs...pls help

Just to be clear: your phone gives the same symptoms (black screen, flashing input buttons) in hboot mode?

sometimes i cant access on hboot i should try so many time if some i got luck i got an access it usually hang help....

I suppose you have preformd a nandroid backup somewere in the proces of you installing CM7 and you have Clockworkmod recovery due to the rooting process by unrEVOked.
Try as many times as you need to boot into hboot, and once there, navigate to recovery. In there you can put back a nandroid backup. In my oppinion, that should fix it.
If you no longer have a nandroid backup, just "reinstall" CM7 trough this recovery as you did the first time.
Erwin

I guess if his phone was s-off, then something error might have happened to the partitions which might be causing the issue. Because problem with access to hboot menu is not related to operating system.
And maybe if what I thought is correct, then an eclair RUU might be the solution (some solution which overwrites all the partitions). But nothing sure.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Very true, but shouldn't the problem (inaccessable bootloader) manifest itself every time, and not most of the time?
Just brainstorming here, not saying right or wrong ;-) in contrary, I think its a good thing to try!

dare i say could it be a hardware issue?

last night i got luck to wipe all the data and my phone went back to a stock cm7 2.3 but after several min my phone turns blank again now i cant boot on hboot if i got lucky to enter hboot it hangs again

what do u mean by stock cm7.
As im not using custom roms, this seems something strange and confusing to me.
AFAIK, wiping the data clears the.custom rom.
And u forgot to tell ur hboot version and secure flag (see those in hboot menu). Whats ur hboot version now, and have u used xtc clip to make s-off.
[anyway i think there will be no harm on flashing merely the RUU. So, i think u can make a try of eclair RUU of ur region which has the Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25 might be a hope]

bro i didnt used xtc clip my phone is already rooted im in cm7 nightly build how can i use ruu?and how to use it?i cant even boot on bootloader.....

and when i press now on volume down+ power nothing happening i cant go to the hboot....

Not sure of anything now. As u said u havent used xtc clip, ur phone will be s-on.
U said that when u faced the issue for the first time, ur phone screen went black on incoming call. That means there os is booted. If it is still the case, I think u can go with RUU, but not sure whether it works or not.
And RUU is an exe file to be run on windows pc connecting the wildfire in charge only mode. It is used for flashing the os. If u want to make a try with the ruu, u can download it from
www.shipped-roms.org/shipped/Buzz/
There u should download ur region eclair ruu which has radio version (u can see radio version in the file name of ruu) same as I mentioned in above post. And pls donot download froyo ruu.

i downloaded this one http://www.shipped-roms.org/shipped...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe am i correct bro?im from the philippines i dont know if this one is for my region....

do i still need to install htc sync????

Htc sync is not necessary if u have installed htc usb driver which will be 13 MB size. Anyone from those two will be needed.
And as there is no phillipenes ruu, that wwe ruu might be the option for u.

by the way bro i tried to put a sim on my phone and tried to called it and it is ringing so i dont think its a hardware issue am i right?

Help giving use to faulty device

Hi! I hope you can help me, I'm having some problems with my htc desire and I don't know what to do...
The device is rooted and I have miui running on it. The problem is that all the phisical buttons have become almost unusable, as I need to press them about 10-20 times so they work. The only usable button is the lock button at the top.
I was thinking about installing an ICS rom, so I could use nexus-style touch buttons. It will take a lot of screen space but at least the phone won't be unusable.
The problem is that I'm unable to install any rom. I can't access recovery. I've tried manually (which will never work because I can't hold the down volume button). and through a rom manager, butwhen I try to reset into recovery it just keeps rebooting at the htc logo until I take off the battery.
I've tried also reinstalling the clockwork recovery (different versions) through rom manager., but no luck.
How can I flash a custom rom (anyone with ICS touch buttons will do) with this problem? Or, is there an alternative solution?

Have you tried pushing a new recovery via adb?

http://4ext.net/
download 4ext recovery updater app and install it, then flash recovery from within the app. 4ext is touch screen. then u need to use adb to boot into recovery. the command is - adb reboot recovery
also u could try button saviour from the market

My buttons also are slowly dying already installed button saviour just in case, but I wonder if there is any guide to take the desire apart and clean the contacts or something and how difficult it may be.

Well, that's the reason why my Desire got official 2.3 update today and it's going to Telenor tomorrow. Buttons are still usable but they are dying slowly, and I have 4 more months of warranty, so why don't give it a try.

Check if it's S-ON or S-OFF by rebooting while holding power and volume-down. What does it say?

Is it rooted? If so, AAHK or HTCDEV? Is it S-OFF? Is there a custom ROM on it? Have you updated your HTC drivers using AAHK specifically? What did you do to get it in that state?

So, what is the problem? flash a recovery if you don't have it and reflash a rom. Don't use the Hack Kit is not for you if you are already S-OFF.

You are flashing froyo RUU on top of gingerbread. It must somehow overwrite the hboot with froyo hboot which make your bootloader messed up.
