Hi guys,
Small problem, i have a Desire which i rooted and put another rom on, now its been awhile since i started this phone and i pulled it out of the cupboard to give to the wife.
Now the problem is i went and did a factory reset in the menu and now the phone will only boot to the "why so serious" screen.
I cant get it to connect to the computer through USB as it says charge only.
i can to a hard reset and get to the fastboot menu but that is all.
any help on how to reset my phone would be a great help please guys
thanks

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 ?

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

Had my desire on a custom ROM (can't remember which one) - and took my SD card out and gave it to a friend cause he needed it - he then formatted it cause I said it was OK (cause I didn't think I'd need it) but then my HTC doesn't start up. It keeps going into the bootloader and I can go into clockwork recovery mode but I haven't got a SD card and all I want to do is to install a stock ROM on it.
Downloaded the stock ROM and tried installing but it won't recognize the phone.
What can I do?
To run stock, you phone has to be in FASTBOOT mode. To get there, start it with pressed back and power button. Then connect phone to computer and run downloaded ruu.
But first, post ALL. The information from your hboot screen (vol down + power from off)

hey xda
my droid incredible won't start up.. it keeps looping on the boot up ... what can I do to solve this problem ?
try a factory reset.
hold down -volume and hit power button. a menu should pop up and factory reset should be one of the choices
Same problem

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.
Hi everyone,fisrt of all happy new year tooo all the mates in this awesome forum.
Well, my problem is kind of weird, ive never faced such a problem with my hox, or any other smartphone.
My phone was running well, then it turned off,it was discharged (my phone always shuts down whet it hits 10% or below,i need to take out the sim card or airplane mode so it dosent shuts down),ive plugged it to charge, icould see it charging,but..after that....my phone JUSTE DIED.
It suddenly started bootlooping, always says battery is tooo low to flash from the bootloader, and it never goes below the htc quietly brilliant logo,but when i try like a loot of time, it goes trought it, loads my rom, but as soon as i can see the home screeen,it turns off.....always....its been 3 days im stuck ..... ive looked alll arond the forum but couldnt find any fix....
I am able to access bootloader,but no recovery, ive tried to flash several different recoveries, but it always shows black screen(turns off) when loading recovery....
I still havent tried to re-lock the bootlader and go trought it all again flashing a stock rom and all (even if im pessimistic about if it is oing to fix it)
cuz i do really have preecious data on my hox, i would like to save the content of the internal storage before re-locking it.
Is it a software issue? batterie issue? but, ive tried discharging my hox while letting it in the bootloader, and...it just didnt shut off randomly, it kept alive for about an hour..... then i plugged my phone to charge ,left it be for the whole night, got the greeen light, and still the same problem.....
also(when i get the phone to load, ive seen the last time that my battery was like 53%, and then it just shut down..
i have also tried cvharging it via fastboot reboot method...same issue....
Please, help me guys, I really, reaaally need your help,i was ssooo satisfied with this phone, i cannot afford myself another one right know, and i dont have any warranty....im confused :crying::crying:
Phone running on Viperx 4.0.6 with original kernel.
Thanks in advance.
Please Im really stuck out here, i would like, at least, be able to access CWM or the storage so i could backup everything end then Re-lock and stock.
Try 'fastboot erase cache' to attempt to fix recovery shutting down.

Thanks for answering, i already tried that,but it changed nothing.
Now it's WORST, i was rebooting the phone again and again to gain access to the rom, just pushing the buttons and all, and then it rebooted with no screen... its like the screen is dead, the phone vibrates when you power it, but the screen shows nothing.....
Is the screen dead? So i do need to replace it? now my problem has grown worst...

go to bootloader and flash Philz recovery 5.15 mount the sd card and backup the information. when you go in Philz and mount the recovery wait 3-4 min SD card to appear on the computer.

Try to charge the phone, maybe from so many restart you f**ck up the battery and for this you have only short vibrate no power for the screen or use battery extendet pack. Second try to go in bootloader not to start the phonejust the volume down +power button

I tried that too,well, i finished opening the phone to check on the battery state and all, everything seemed to be fine, next step is buying another battery and test another set of screen+digitalizer to check for the origin of the problem.
Insane how from trying to access the recovery it became changing battery and screen.
Thanks for all your tips, im going to check on it and keep you informed about my issue

No need to pay first try to hold the volume down button and then hold power button untill you go in bootloader after this connect the phone to a computer if your battery is empty the best way is to connect battery pack on the back side pins and try then go in bootloader but if your battery iss complete dead no solution you must to charge ytour phone but this can be done from bootloader with the bat file
EDIT: Next time when you are in trouble ask before discharge the phone
Have you flashed boot.img?

Hi disaster Again
the above problem i mentioned was solved, i could get my laptop to recognise the phone in ADB and i just had to enter the command adb reboot bootloader.
but now i have even bigger problem. i was running ARHD and everything was going fine unless i decided to upgrade to miui based on 4.4.4
so i went into fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader and then flashed the boot.img of miui rom, then i pressed power down in fastboot thinking i'll connect and then go into recovery and then flash the zip of the rom
but now i cant get into either recovery or fastboot(bootloader) and neither my phone is recognised in adb.
please guys help me out.
Have you read this and followed all steps exactly?
Can you enter bootloader holding vol down and power button?
Do you have recovery on device?
See i cannot go into bootloader or recovery anyhow, yes i had recovery on my device by which i flashed the ARHD
i Flashed the boot image for the MIUI bases on 4.4.4 but now it doesnt boot up, neither i can nacces bootloader nor it is recognised by ADB
