desire keeps rebooting

Hi guys
I am really desperate atm. I have read several topics but couldnt find any that matches my problem so hope I will receive some help from you guys
I have HTC desire, rooted, running LeeDroid Rom
So everything is fine, until one day I restarted my device. After restarting it keeps rebooting on its own. Its stuck on the Android screen (the white one), couldnt get to the Animation and keeps restarting for several times and then freezes on the white screen.
If I dont have to restart my device there is no problem. The issue here is when I factory reset the device or want to flash a new rom it keeps rebooting and then is stuck.
If I leave it for a while then it reboots normally to OS but it will not execute the factory reset or rom flash whatsoever
The only thing I can do in HBOOT menu is clearing the data and that's it.
Plz Plz Plz help me out guys

Its a hardware issue and will probably need a board replacement. Before returning it, as a last resort you may try unrooting to stock. Guide is in my signature.
Sent from my HTC Desire

i really hope its not a hardware problem
cuz i've had my phone for 6 months and it just happened so recently

[Q] Still looking for a solution

Right first things first
my desire was having the random reboot problem after updating to 2.2 then it turned off and now wont boot up at all.
it is stuck on the htc logo,and wont enter recovery either
I can go into Boot loader and Fast boot to flash Ruu's and pb99img.zip files
And they complete successfully but the phone still goes back to the Htc logo
I have the Hboot drivers installed,android Sdk installed but cant recognize because cant enable debugging because i can't get into the android os.
The phone is unbranded but i don't have any back ups for it .
Also made a gold card and flashed stock Rom but still back to the Htc logo it goes.
Any help would be very appreciated i have read and read the forums for days but cant seem to find the exact problem and solution.
Also software version is 2.29.405.5

when it reboot does it vibrate 5-7 times sometimes ??

still looking for a solution
No does not vibrate at all just stays on Htc logo, and stays on that the screen goes blank for a second or 2 then back to the Htc logo till i pull the battery ,goes to H-boot with vol - and power button and thats about it,

Did you make sure you had a "gold card" before flashing?
Flash to an unbranded ROM, 2.29 Froyo
Did you wipe your cache memories, including devalc, and user data before flashing?
If you didn't do so before, you will be stuck.
Sorry, but maybe the gold card was not good.

yeah used the Goldcard , i cannot wipe the cache though because cant get into recovery,when i select it it just goes back to Htc logo.

have you given the freezer idea a try..?
it might be because of the cpu/motherboard over heat issue

Yeah tried it in the freezer for about ten mins no luck.

Where am I going wrong??

OK I give up, I have been trying to sort my wife's phone out, I successfully rooted it a few months back and installed one of the Runnymede roms, but she had been experiencing some problems e.g phone crashing, losing signal and so on
I decided to put a newer rom on the phone to try and solve the problems.
But now it seems that the phone is knackered, I started off by trying to install a new rom but when it came to booting it up, it crashed (left it for 30 mins) so tried again and the same result, tried several other roms to no avail. I have changed the HBoot from Bravo stock to Alpharev CR7 r2, installed the latest radio still no joy.
The HBoot is showing

currently installed is Runnymede AIO 4.0.3 SE also the SD has been partitioned with 1.01gb on SD-EXT (ext4) and just under 7gb on the main partition.
The phone will install and boot up for the first time and then close down after the main screen has been shown and go into a either a bootloop getting as far as the main screen or the HTC boot screen or it will hang on the HTC screen.
Obviously I have gone wrong somewhere but I dont know where.
Can anyone help as the phone is now useless.
I can get to HBoot and I can get into Recovery and my pc does see the phone on fastboot and when I mount items when in recovery.

Flash 2.3.3 RUU. If problems persists, call HTC.

sort now thanks, left it on charge for ages to sort itself out and now seems to be working perfectly.

Stuck at Screen with /!\

Hey Guys,
I already searched in the whole forum and tried a lot of different tutorials and stuff but i just can't bring my desire back to life... :crying:
I got it today from a friend and tried to update it and after that it was stuck at the white htc screen and wouldn't boot.
However I wasn't able to get into the recovery mode because the phone would jump back to the white htc screen and freeze (sometimes it would vibrate 7 times)
I then tried to recover it with a ruu but i got an 152 error and now i have the black htc screen with the four /!\ in the edges. I tried different ruus, including some from vodafone (because i wasnt sure if my phone is branded or not) but with the vodafone ruus i get a 131 error (so i guess my phone is not branded). i also tried the 2.3 gingerbread image.
When i try to recover it with the gingerbread image it stops at about 55% at system rewriting (or sth. like that)
When i plug it out after this i get the following stats:

I also get the Error 140 from time to time...
I think i might have to downgrade the hboot, but i don't know how, cause i am s-on and can't get any further than the black htc screen (=fastboot)
i also have the adb toolkit, and i tried to force boot it by the command fastboot oem boot... but it froze at the white htc screen and vibrated 7 times
And i dont have a goldcard...
Can anybody help me with this? if you need more information just ask!

this happened to me...try s-off your device with revolutionary...and then get back to stock hboot from alpharev...and then try gingerbread image to install....
good luck...

Thank you for your reply
How can i s-off the device with revolutionary? it doesnt seem to work in the fastboot screen with the /!\ ??? Revolutionary stucks at "Waiting for device..."

You have a radio brick. Few phones are recovered from this state. The only thing you can do is endlessly flash a RUU hoping that sometime it will succeed.
Try the 2.3 RUU in my sig, or the .exe version of it, or some wwe ruu-s.
//Edit: Post 999

Thanks abaaaabbbb63 for your answer, but i think i might found the first part of the solution
I just stumbled across the "fridge/freezer" method and it worked . Simply put your desire into the fridge until its really cold and the ruu will finish the update. (I think its because the radio gets really hot during updating. For example, the more times you try to update it in a row, the hotter it gets and the sooner the ruu stops)
However, now I'm stuck in an Boot circle. Phone vibrates, green htc logo for a few sec, then black screen and the phone boots again.
But i can get into the boot loader with power and volume-.
Hboot is 1.02.0001
i can go into fastboot, but when i try to get into the recovery mode, the phone is stuck in the boot cycle again.
Anyone some suggestions on how to continue this? I think i need to turn s-off to downgrade the hboot if im right but how?
Update: When i try to do fastboot oem boot via adb, the phone vibrates 7 times in is back in the boot cycle
Update 2: Correct me if I'm wrong but I think i have to set up a custom recovery mode like clockwork via pb99.img, right? However dont have time now, will try it tomorrow...

[Q] Downgrade to RUU went wrong

I've got a Desire that was rooted years ago and I was running Evervolv.
I now need to sell my phone and have tried to download to the original RUU.
I used RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
The downgrade seem to go through fine, no errors, but now when I reboot my phone I get the HTC logo and then the startup sound. The screen is then black with a thin white bar at the botton and on the sides.
If I reboot and hold down the vol I get:
AlphaRev
BRAVO pvt3 ship s-off
hboot-6.93.1002
Microp-051d
touch panel-synt0101
Radio-4.06.00.02_2
Then if I try and go into recovery mode I get a black screen with thin white vertical bars on the side.
Hope I can recover from this - but am now sure how
Help!!

Thanks, but how do I flash that if I can't boot the phone, or can't get into recovery?
Update: Scratch that - I booted the phone normally, even though the screen is blank it still lets me flash it. Trying it now and will let you know.
Update1: Brilliant - that did the trick! Thanks a ton.
Sheesh - is that what 2.3.3 used to look like. Its come such a long way!
