[Q] Black screen with htc logo and 4 warning triangles

Right i'm a bit of a noob at all this and have got myself in a bit too deep!!!
The problems started after applying the CM7 hboot and s-off with aplpharev. (which seemed to go OK)
After applying a new rom i got stuck in a boot loop so tried other roms from recovery and had the same problem, Nandroid also wouldn't restore.
I then decide it would be best to flash an RUU which went tits up and has lead to the black screen with 4 triangles in each corner. I have tried several other RUUs but no luck either. I also cannot boot in to recovery at all now.
When i plug and unplug the device to a pc, it gives the following info:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
Bravo PVT3 Ship S-Off
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

Pluging it in returns it to the black screen
I have trawled the forums but nothing seems to work (i have resorted to creating a thread after 2 days of trying things!)
Any chance of an idiots guide from a guru on how to get the device usable again? (bearing in mind my reasonably limited knowledge!)
I know there are many threads on this already but i can't seem to find a fix that works.

Can't look into this too much right now but I'm pretty sure your RUU flash failed because you're using the r2 version of that HBOOT which has something in it that prevents it from being over-written by the RUU. Try flashing the Downgrader HBOOT and then give the RUU a shot. Should get you back to stock.
Also, move this to the Q&A thread.

Boot in to fastboot then
plug in usb
Then run ruu. As administrator if you have windows 7/vista

I have same problem two days ago. Mine stuck at CM7 r2 partition while RUU need 250MB of system partition. After fighting around 4hours then I try to to flash HBOOT downgrader and then flash stock HBOOT then run RUU again.
Once alive I am rooting it again again and flash custom rom since I am not satisfied with original rom hahaha..
Sorry for my bad english.

You just need to flash the downgrader hboot to flash the ruu.. And only if you are using one of the new r2 hboots. The ruu will over write the hboot so no point in flashing the downgrader and then the stock.

How do i boot to fastboot (power and vol down doesn't do anything)?

I had same problem when running ruu to return to stock from rooted, soff etc.
Just unplugged, plugged back in and re-ran ruu then everything was ok.

Again, may be being stupid, but how do i flash the hboot the only screen i can access is the htc and 4 triangles?

try to cool down your device and flash again...
it sounds stupid, but it works for me.
i put my device without battery in fridge for 5 minutes, then i flash again and it works.
if the device warms up it stop working.
mine have hardware fault.

have a look at the first sticky post at the top of the Q&A thread, i'm pretty sure it covers it

i did try the sticky thread... but i am not able to achieve S-ON even after flashing bravo_downgrader

Try the unsigned version of the RUU in this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
If this doesn't work try one of the WWE versions.
EDIT: see also this thread, which discusses the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191565

Hey guys, I had a HTC Desire that started working very strange. It was constantly freezing at the HTC logo (booting). After removing the battery for a few minutes, I could turn on the phone again. I tried rooting, it always failed. Then I tried installing 2.3 via HTC Dev official software. Followed all the instructions and had a RADIO_V2 - Fail PU. The RUU enters recovery mode: I unplug, remove battery for 3 seconds, then plug again and it runs the same procedure: RADIO_V2 - Fail PU again. I just tried 4x and nothing. The phone is bricked. If I try to boot holding volume down, it won't go to recovery, it just turns black with ! sign in all corners.
I am just afraid my Desire has some hardware problem, but in any case, now it is bricked. Any suggestions?

Download a recovery img for the phone, plug it in and run 'fastboot boot [recovery.img]' to boot into recovery or 'fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img] to flash and then boot into recovery.

[Q] Desire overheating brick (7 times vibrates)

Hi! I know this is a well known problem and I try to read as many related topic i could find but I'm still stuck... Here's the situation:
I have a HTC Desire Bravo (european version i guess, I bought it here in Italy around 2 years ago), with definetely some overheating problems. I haven't use this phone in a long time, yesterday I turn it on and it start loading the Cyano 7 that was already install on the device. It freeze at the animation boot. After that first time it never worked again. Stuck with htc logo if I turn it on, sometimes does the 7 vibrate thing (which I come to the conclusion it's 'cause is overheating A LOT), sometimes it stuck on a reboot<-->htc logo loop untill I remove the battery.
I just want to make it run again, and maybe i'll send it to htc for the overheating, but first I need to bring it back to stock. Here's what I try:
- i flash the bravo downgrade by alpharev to bring the original partition table
- i flash a recovery, won't start (stuck with htc logo ec..ec...)
- I try the RUU, but it won't recognize the phone in hboot
- I try the pb99img method... it doesn't get recognize from the bootloader
So I am stuck with the Device in fastboot, can't get a recovery work so I can't flash any rom or ruu. If it helps, here's the hboot screen

Thanks for the quick response! But how exactly am I going to do that? The PC just won't recognize the phone plug in in HBOOT, so the ruu installer fail and says he can't find the phone (ERROR 170).
Maybe i have a wrong version of hboot?

OMG i made it work!! I put it in a plastic bag in the freezer for 20min and now i'm in recovery!!! I can't believe it really work:laugh:
I did some wipe and try to install the stock rom, just to make it work, but it's stuck on "Veryfying update package", and the progress bar won't go on. Mainboard it's already burning, at least now I know it has some hardware issues.
I'm gonna try downgrade it back to factory (s-on, unroot, all original ecc..) and send it back to HTC. Do you know if the warranty is still valid considering I bought it in november 2010 and i still have the receive ?

Warranty should be 2 years from the moment you bought it.

Half-bricked Desire

Hello everyone.
Recently I noticed a few problems with my Desire so I decided to send it for a warranty repair, so I had to come back to stock ROM. I was on:
Oxygen ZM
hboot 6.93.1002
microp 051d
dation 4.05.00.11
I just plugged my phone in fastboot mode and opened RUU on my PC. It went through and rebooted the phone. Unfortunately, it is now stuck on splash screen with HTC logo.
I don't know what to do now. Maybe the hboot version was too high?
I was thinking about installing new ROM but can't open recovery (when I'm in fastboot and click recovery it reboots on splash screen) and also the cable doesn't work at all. Can't use adb commands or charge the battery - it just acts like it isn't plugged in.
Please help. I'm a total newbie and don't want to brick my phone (I've read that if I can reach hboot it's not as bad)

Turn off the phone n hold volume down + power and post everything it says in bootloader menu.

Ur still s-off so try flashing new recovery via fasboot commands. Read bortaks guide in my sig, everything u need for fastboot is there, also download the 4ext recovery PB99IMG in my sig and extract it and ul have almost the latest 4ext recovery.img, thats what ul need to flash in fastboot.
Once uv fastboot setup on ur computer, put recovery.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer then with ur phone off, hold back button + power (thats fastboot) then plug in ur phone (usb) and open command window and type -
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
If all okay then u should have recovery.
Read bortaks guide and the guide for ADB & FASTBOOT by SUroot. Everything u need is there
Sent from my HTC Desire

hey. thanks for your help. but as I said, I can't plug in my phone with USB - when I do it, nothing happens. I can't even charge my battery.
So, I've put this zip on my SD card and the bootloader asked me to update recovery. I clicked yes and it said done. But when I try to open the recovery, it still goes into splash screen
also, I can't try a lot of combinations because my battery could discharge and that would be a problem...

Does ur phone charge when its turned off and plugged into mains (wall)? If so charge it up first
The only other way to flash recovery is by fasboot commands.
There is a way to flash an ruu via PB99IMG but id make sure ur battery is full first
Sent from my HTC Desire

no, can't charge it. as I said in first post: "also the cable doesn't work at all. Can't use adb commands or charge the battery - it just acts like it isn't plugged in."

Looks like your cable is faulty actually

I don't think so, it worked fine until I made the RUU. It would be a huge coincidence.

so, anyone knows how to fix it?

anyone?...

c'mon! I'm sure someone can help me, it is not full brick!

U can run an ruu via PB99IMG but thats a risk coz u dont know how much battery u have left and if ur battery dies then ul probably be left with a full bricked phone

OK, so I will try to charge my battery with some other device (same phone or special charger) and try to do it. How much time does it take? I have about 15% battery left because I was running RUU on 30% :laugh: (yup, that was stupid) do you think it's not enough? If it takes less than 5 mins, it should be OK.
edit: but... I've already run RUU and that's why my phone is bricked. What RUU should I run to make sure it will work? I don't know why this one didn't work. Was it because of hboot version or what?

U can use the 2.3 gb upgrade from htcdev. Heres a link to my dev host, file is there
http://d-h.st/d44
Then use Droidzones great guide
http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&sourc...fC74BQ&usg=AFQjCNGX60VvJTy6BOBkfKsZ9maoS-A_xw
Make sure ur battery is atleast 40-50% to be safe, bootloader wont let u run it anyway if its below 30%. It should only take 5 mins but the phone will need power to boot up fully aswell.

thanks, you're just great!
I thought it won't work because my hboot is too high or something but it really helped!
one more thing, just not to make another thread. do you know why when I try to reach my recovery it shows red "!" over a phone? is there a recovery in stock soft? I want my phone to look like it was brand new. how to get rid of "revolutionary" in hboot?
ehh.. now my PC doesn't see the phone (can't use adb commands, but it's charging) - GOD, WHY?

I take it the PB99IMG worked?
What does it say in bootloader now? (vol down + power)

okay, thanks, my phone is 100% stock now excluding SIMlock. but I think they won't check it

[Q] Htc desire structs at bootscreen....need Ruu to make it bootable

Hello all,
I'm new to android and this forum.
My HTC Desire seems to be stuck in a
bootloop. Every recovery method i have found seems
to require that I enable USB debugging in order to do
the recovery.Since my phone cannot be bootable.i can not turn debug on via phone setting.
Is there a way that I can enable USB debugging
without booting into the phone.
If not, can you please outline a procedure that i can
follow to do a recovery from this state.
or kindly suggests me a suitable stock RUU that can make my phone bootable.

hii. as u mentioned to try 2.3 Gb RUU......i flashed it with 2.3GB RUU update.everything went ok till 90% then RUU says that Update fail. Now my htc desire stucts at black HTC logo screen with four exclamation marks on its corner. Even i cannot go to bootloader by holding vol down + power key..
..please help me to sorts out this problem.
BootLoader screenshot is attached below....

Unfortunately the Radio_V2 fail is the worst kind of fail you can find.
Means you have a radio brick, hardware problem
You can keep trying to flash the RUU until it works, or try putting the phone in a bag in a freezer for a few minutes (yes seriously) and try running the RUU again.
Even if you make the phone bootable, it's likely to fail in the long run.
