[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
Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18
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.

How are you installing hboot then? I am using alpharev and when i plug the device in it doesn't recognise it and just says searching for device.

open android flasher conect your phone to usb cable verify the phone to be open and then select on android flasher hboot select the stock hboot wait 1 or 2 seconds and then open the Ruuand wait and your phone is back to life

im so hapy for you man

another brick question

First off, I apologies for asking what might be an apparently obvious question but I'm stuck
I've read that if you can do anything with your phone then its not bricked. Well I can't seem to get into bootloader, recovery or fastboot when I turn the phone on I always get a black screen with apostrophes in each corner and HTC in the middle.
I can issue fastboot commands through USB and I can run ruu's from the PC but they always fail at the end of writing system.
Problem is I'm trying to get a warrenty return (which is why I was unrooting) and the only time I see a different screen is after running the ruu and unplugging the USB. This gives me a white screen that shows alpharev and clearly gives the game away that the phones been rooted.
So is this technically a brick? And if not, is there a way put of this?

What hboot u have? Stock? Alpharev cm/oxygen?

It was/is alpharev cm (the second one)

Flash the bravo downgrader hboot from alpharev, after the ruu.

OK thanks, so when I'm on the screen with just HTC on it I issue the fastboot command and then rerun the ruu?
Just to clarify (and perhaps help anyone else in this state), is this because of a change in alpharev that prevents the ruu changing tthe hboot? Because last time I returned my phone I followed the instructions that simple said to run the ruu so I'm presuming something has changed.

thanks for your help. All back up and running now.

Hboot 0.83 & S-ON & No Recovery and No Booting OS

Hi,
I looked at similar threads but couldn't solve my problem, which is;
I was using custom rom with data2ext tools without any problems. I just realized that although my RomManager's Clockworkmod recovery version was 5.0.2.0, i see 2.5.0.7 on the recovery screen. Then i found that my desire went to S-ON back.
While i was trying to make S-OFF, i used AlphaRev, first step was ok, then it restarted the phone, saying "waiting for bootloader". Even after the Hboot screen comes up, it didn't get further. I tried another tools, such as Revolutionary, but it says "Hboot 0.83 is not supported". I can not use fastboot tool also since i am S-ON. When i try to flash anything (recovery.img, boot.img etc.) it gives the famous "...malformed.." error.
So now i can only enter HBoot and Fastboot screen. When i enter recovery, it freezes on HTC Logo on the white screen. When i restart the phone normally, it again freezes on the same screen.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a Desire GSM? If yes, flash 2.3.3 RUU and then use Revolutionary.
Swiftkeyed from ICS with Transparent XDA App

Yes, i have Desire GSM. Now i am downloading the RUU exe. I hope the correct one

Ok. After a bricked sd card, i made a new gold card Flashed a WWE RUU via PB99. Then root, s-off. Now i am able to install anything
Thanx again

Looks like you're not in recovery there, but in Fastboot menu.
You might want to go back to bootloader menu and check if you have the recovery option.
From there maybe you can flash a working rom...

yes i can go to recovery but when i press recovery i get stuck at logo screen!and i have to pull the battery out to turn it off...

Read bortak's troubleshooting guide. Go to Desire Q&A/Stickies and down too [2] in the guide. I would read from the start tho, its a very usefull guide to know for any future problems.

Let us know if it has been useful.

i have red it already...i cant get it into recovery!!! i see only bootloader and when i press recovery it gets stuck on a logo!! never mind its probably a hardware issue ....

You are in stock recovery as you are s-on, if you want custom recovery you need s-off or flash it during rooting process via unrevoked.
Extract Rom.zip from CORRECT RUU and rename it to PB99IMG.zip and put in the root of sd card, if phone is branded and you are unable to find correct ruu, use WWE rui and goldcard, all the additional info you find in bortak's guide

"i'm s-on, i cant boot recovery, and my phone does'nt boot" . From what i can see, thats ur problem, bortak's guide covers this. Correct me if im wrong.
Sent from my HTC Desire

i already tried bortak's guide,i am not that noob and i tried like 10 different roms and nothing,it does load the rom but when it restarts it just hangs again at boot screen
and i cannot use unrevoked or revolutionary or ruu because the phone isnt recognized by any of these programs because i didn't activate usb debugging and now the phone doesn't turn on and i can't do that,i am telling you i have spent 2 whole days reading and trying all kind of stuff and nothing helped..i think its a hardware failure of some kind....
i think it is a hardware issue because when i install drivers it says android bootloader device but it says also that device cannot start (code 10)
anyway i tried yesterday heating the MBO with hot air in my workshop(i am electric technician) i thought some chip on MBO was unsoldered but with no luck so i threw the whole thing away in the garbage!

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."
what's now?

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.
Sent from my HTC Desire

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
and the recovery is OK, I just forgot that I have to hold upvol button and click power button to run it. you know, with other recoveries you don't have to do that kind of stuff.
