need your help guys,
Have a rooted DHD, which has been working fine with a custom rom for months now. It froze this morning so pulled out the battery and put it back in, now it just loads up bootloader and then tries to do something then fails. After that I am left on the main menu : fastboot, recovery ect and none of the buttons work. It wont let me move up or down with the volume buttons and also the power button doesnt work. Any ideas guys ?
much appreciated
May be a problem with sd card. Try ejecting the card to see if it will boot.

Hi,
I rooted my htc desire but some problems with the wifi were happening, anyhow at the end I installed a custom ROM, which made my desire completly going into black screen.
Then without knowing what I was doing I went into the recovery mode and change some stuff without really knowing.
And now when I turn off and on the phone the only thing that I get is the white screen with the Bootloader version and the options for entering into recovery mode and so on, which I guess my phone has no OS or image.
I have tried to donwload 2.2 firmware and try to install it via the sd card but is not working.
Does anybody here have any idea what can I do.
Thanks in advance
Turn on your phone by pressing the Back button and Power button for 5 seconds.
The bootloader menu appears - Press Recovery and wait until it boots into recovery.
From here on out do whatever - Mount USB storage and put a new ROM on the root of your SDcard. Wipe everything and flash the ROM.
Should work fine.
Thanks s lot for your help. Highly appreciate it

OK.
I will put in a detailed info about what happened.
A week back, my wildfire's touchscreen started to function abnormally.
I was rooted and on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3
So, I flashed the phone with DK custom FROYO to make it look like sense so that the warranty is not void and took it to the HTC store.
They replaced the touchscreen for a flat fee (It was water damage according to them. But the phone was never used in wet conditions nor exposed to water)
But anyway, the phone was working fine when I brought it home from their store.
Then I flashed CM7.0.3 again.
And everything was working fine.
I OCed acc. to CM's settings to 652-352 Mhz.
And left the phone to charge in charger overnight.
When I woke up, the phone was off and there was just the red LED light blinking.
I tried to boot it again, but nothing works.
Pressing the power button does not do anything.
The phone still boots into recovery. At times.
I don't know what makes it boot into recovery. But at times it does, at times it doesn't. (Right now it's not booting into recovery no matter what I do)
Just the red LED keeps on blinking.
Please help.
I am not familiar with pushing commands onto the wildfire since I use a mac.
Please suggest any methods. If they involve using command line, I can use my windows PC for that. But please give a how-to of length enough for a noob ) ) to understand.
Thank you.

EDIT :
I got to boot into recovery once. Tried to reflash CM7.0.3
It came to "Installing update" and then failed to go further.
Tried to install DK Custom Froyo 4.5
And it went to opening package and then failed to go further.
Now entering into a panic mode !
Red light blinking generally occurs when phone is hot and plugged in to wall socket. Is it so at that time ?
Unplug the charger or usb. Remove the battery and reinstall the battery. Try to boot into hboot mode (volume down + power) or fastboot mode (trackpad + power) . If your phone can boot into hboot/fastboot mode and has no restarts or power offs, then I think you can solve it.
Try to clear storage from hboot menu. Or factory reset from recovery once you enter it. If still it is not solved, try using "pc49img" method of flashing an RUU from the hboot menu. Hope it helps. Shouldn't help if there is hardware issue.

Hi guys:
I have this phone from about 10 months ago. I have always it rooted and with CyanogenMod, actually with CM7.
Today I was using my browser, and then it closed, the phone begin giving me a lot of errors, any application worked and I decided to reset it, because sometimes that work.
For my surprise, when I reseted it, It was bootlooping, It start booting (cyanogen logo doing circles), then freezes and then reset.
I know how to work with this problems and I reseted it on recovery and when I entered to the recovery everything seems to be fine, but I only see the menu, when I try to install zip from sd card, go to mount & stored, go to clear cache, or enable USB the screen just get empty but its ON.
Im very frustrated, I don't know how to proceed in this situation, I have looked in the Troubleshooting thread but have not found anything that worked for me with boot looping.
I hope someone can help me, sorry for my english, it's not my main language.
what button are you pressing to select the menus? Power?
Yes Im using power button.
Before I used the power button but now tried using the middle button and it worked.
Lets see if it recover correctly.
Yes because power button turns off the screen.

A place to start would be to boot into recovery - hold down VOL DOWN and the power button, and flash the ROM again - or flash a new ROM, that you put on the SD card ?

try a factory reset.

My incredible started doing this yesterday, Ive tried this option it doesn't work for me. I can get the menu but it when I choose factory reset or any of the other options it flashes the htc incredible screen and starts the loop again, any more suggestions would be appreciated.
Is your phone unlocked and rooted/s-off?
It will say so on that menu screen.

No I was getting ready to root it the day this started. Will rooting help this problem?
having CWM recovery on the device would help you clear the memory and load the OS easily. but that requires your device to be rooted.
whats strange about this case is that my understanding is that the OS is read only and the only thing that changes is data and user data held in a separate partition. so the 2 possibilities is that your user data is corrupted(probably due the space getting exhausted-were you getting a low space warning?) or less likely but possible-the OS corrupted in some way-perhaps from repeated reboots and phone use.
i guess if a factory reset isn't helping there is little i can suggest. that should do the trick if the OS isn;t corrupt because all it does is wipe away the user data so you can resetup the device as if you bought it brand new.
if you have an micro sd card in the device, try removing it. if that doesn;t work, try reformatting it and putting it back in.

This sounds quite a bit like an Inc I have lying on my shelf. It was a friend's and he gave it to me to see if I could fix it. As far as I can tell, the phone's emmc storage simply failed. These phones are aging and that happens sometimes. Anyway, I tried all the usual stuff, including running RUU's (flashing signed PB31IMG.zip's since the thing had never been rooted and was still s-on), and yeah, just boot looped.
I did get the phone working, but it was complicated and messy. Here's more or less what I did: I was able to successfully run the RUU that updates HBOOT to 1.02 (or 1.07, either one works), which allowed me to unlock the bootloader via HTCdev. (see one of the root / s-off guides if this doesn't make sense.) This made it possible to flash ClockworkMod recovery using fastboot, and boot into recovery. From there, I was able to get to a root shell through adb (plugged into my computer) and proceeded to downgrade and get s-off, following the guide. It now works, though it's running Froyo and there is hardly any space for apps due to the messed up storage. I've been wanting to try this hack on it but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
stuck in boot loop, keys dead
I have an HTC incredible. One day the power button decided to quit working. Everything else worked fine, except when the phone went to sleep, the only way to wake it up was to plug in the charger. That was all fine and dandy til I was using it one night to listen to TuneIn and forgot to shut it off. When I plugged in the charger the next morning, it went into boot loop. I can get it out of boot loop by holding the power and/or volume down buttons, but when the hboot (?) screen comes up, I am helpless to do anything, as the power and volume buttons are unresponsive. It is not recognized when I plug it into my laptop, either. For whatever it's worth, it does say "S-on" on the hboot screen, if that helps. Is it junk or fixable?

Sounds hosed to me. You could try to flash an RUU zip but that'd require use of the keys in HBOOT. If there is an RUU option that does not involve touching the phone, it's possible. Otherwise, no. I guess you could open the phone and check the button connections are there but it may be locking up at the HBOOT screen. Give it a chance to charge up a bit. However, I believe this phone is a lost cause. I seem to be seeing more frequent bootloop phone reports lately.
