[Q] Fix for Desire that reboots vibrating 7 times or suddenly after booting ?

Hi,
I have a Desire here that was from a German o2 contract and now shows very strange behaviour. When normally turned on it is sometimes possible to boot the device normally into Android 2.2 when it then suddenly resets itself.
Also using the software reset from within the system did not work to improve this.
The next step was to use the CLEAR STORAGE option in the stock Recovery menu but also this did not fix the the problem.
Sometimes the phone when turned on does not boot at all and just he white backgrond with the green htc is there after one time vibrate.
Sometimes after this he phone vibrates 7 times and does not boot.
And then again after removing the battery it might come up and start the normal registration process with the language selecting and after some time reboot suddenly to show one of the other behaviours again.
The details from the recovery screen HBOOT menu (Holding down VOLUME DOWN followed by a short keypress POWER):

I have read in another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660770 that by installing a fresh ROM again this could be solved. I am just not so sure anymore that this can be a software problem only.
My next steps would be to read out the CID of the SD Card on another Android phone to create a Goldcard and try and reflash because I cannot boot into the system to enable USB Debug to root or use some root explorer or adb shell to read out the CID reliably with this device.
Any other suggestions or tips ?

Download the latest RUU, run it and let it finish. It will update Froyo to the latest version and your radio too. Should fix any problems that your having. If at all you get an error which is something to do with the CID, create a Goldcard.

Overheating
I'm afraid these are the very same symptoms I had last year. The reboots are caused by overheating in most cases.
There isn't much you can do. I advise you to return your phone and have it repaired. If they do a proper job, they will replace the motherboard, and all problems are gone.
You should test if it really is overheating by:
Turn your phone off and keep it off for like 15 minutes, to make it cool down.
Turn your phone on, let it boot normal, and wait like 5 minutes after it finished booting.
When it is still working, turn on navigation, or try to watch a flash movie on a website. -Do this while you are CHARGING the phone-. This will dramatically increase the temperature of your phone, and if the cause really is overheating, the phone will try to reboot.
ps. The reboot almost never boots completely, because when it restarts the phone is still too hot, so it freezes at the HTC screen.

[Q] Help, Urgent! Can't get pass Hboot, Button not working!

Hello there,
I have been searching about my problems in the Xda forums for the past hours... Can't find a solution to my problems. Pleasee HELP ME!!!
I don't know what happened to my DHD but it suddenly messed up. I first felt my DHD keep vibrating it is probably because i accidently pressed the bottom volume button while sitting. and then the phone starting to acting weird. So i restart the phone and it goes to Hboot, however the button still working and i can select fastboot with my power button. I thought nothing wrongs now but not long, my phone restarted and get back into HBoot again. now all the buttons not working, power and volumes button, but it check for file PD98IMG.zip when i have SD card in, after that stay at Hboot again.

i used this Ruu Rom before RUU_Ace_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.32.707.1_Radio_12.28a.60.140e_26.03.02.08_M_release_153610_signed
and then i tried to use this again and rename the rom.zip to PD98IMG.zip in my SD card.
Plug it in and it start doing it things until
Checking PD98IMG.zip
and after that
CID incorrect
press power to reboot!
I tried to use goldcard but I can't get my CID. (I used the goldcard tool)
I connected my DHD to computer and it become HBOOT USB plug
but when i tried to install straight from RUU, i got Error USB connection.
I'm still newbie with Android, really appreciated it if someone can explain in detail and Helping me.
So just to repeat, I'm stuck in HBOOT with no button working!
And if there is a way to fix this with custom roms, and a guide on how to.. really appreciate it.
Thank you.
EDIT*
Buttons suddenly working, i think the volume button was stuck and i played around with it and now it is working.
Did factory reset and i think it is working! Yes it is working!
Thx God
Thx
SOLVED!!! Closed this please, Sorry for the waste of thread!

Help! Reboot Loop, S-On PCIMG36 Not Working, what next.

Hi, got a serious that I can't figure out, on day 8 with no change. Here's the details

The phone is unrooted. This is my sisters phone and I took out the battery without turning off the phone. (I do it all the time with my touchpro2, will never do it again!) I put my SD card in and turned it back on and now it's in a reboot loop. It starts up, shows the white screen with the htc EVO 4G then reboots to the same thing over and over. I could get into the bootloader. I tried all of the options. Recovery just goes to the white screen again with the htc evo 4g logo and starts the reboot loop. I did clear storage, and when it reboots it starts the loop too.
I tried loading the PC36img.zip file to a formatted sd card and the phone reads it but doesnt give me any prompts to install or anything, it just goes to the regular bootloader screen, and recovery still doesn't work. I tried loading some shipped roms but I think Im on the latest rom so it won't let me install any roms because I'm not rooted. I get an error 140 -bootloader version error. What else can I do? I am so stressed over this and my eyes are killing me from all of the seaching. I tried setting up sdk and adb but couldnt get it to work and don't think it would read my phone cause it won't start up to set up the debug mode.

Use 4.65 RUU

Try the latest 4.54 RUU and run it through FASTBOOT USB (click on fastboot with your phone connected to your computer.
http://www.filesonic.com/file/40834....15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.exe

okay, I downloaded the latest RUU which is the one I am on now 4.54.651. Ran it and it loaded up and went through the whole process. I got so happy. When it finishes, it reboots and starts the loop again. I also put the correct PC36IMG file on my SD card and it found it and the phone loaded it. But still the same thing. I dunno what to do next. I also tried the UnlockBootloader thing from HTCDEV. But when I get to step 8 to enter the command, the phone gives an error. But the computer finds the phone in fastboot. Now I definitely see why people S-Off their phones

if the phone is under 1 year old then you have the warranty which is still good unless theres water damage or proof of you internally modifying the phone or intentionally broke it physically.. tell them it froze so you pulled the battery and it got in a loop and factory reset doesnt work

Yeah, pretty simple. it's an unrooted phone. Just trade it in

the phone shows water damage even though it works perfectly. From what I read, I think the boot file is corrupted but I can't load a new one. Why is it when I load a factory RUU, it doesnt load the new boot and recovery file to get the phone working again.

When you loaded the factory RUU, it probably did flash a new boot image and the stock recovery (which is useless at this point). The RUU was a last resort (the reason why I said try it), and if it did not fix the issue, then the problem is more likely hardware related.

Is there anything I could do with a program I found online called CDMA workshop. Looks like it has lots of features to work with.

Update: I thought I got it fixed. I downloaded a 4.54 rom from scottsrom.com and put it on a SD card and renamed it PC36IMG. It actually loaded it up this time, then said Parsing... [SD ZIP] and had [1] RADIO_V2
[2] RECOVERY, all the way to [8] SYSTEM. This never happenend before. So I got all happy and it updated all 8. But when it rebooted, it still did the reloop over and over. I got so happy that I finally got it fixed but it didnt do anything. What could it be? If anyone is in Queens, NYC and could fix this for me, I am willing to pay.

At this point, it seems like you have the bad blocks error, which is not fixable

[Q] HTC G2 software issues, can you guys help me?

What possibly went wrong (you can skip it if you guys like, I'm not entirely sure if it'll be helpful but I just wanted to be thorough.)
My G2 was working fine for the past year and I had it rooted and running CM since I can remember having it. No problems have ever occurred for me on this phone until today. I woke up and was checking my email on the gmail and yahoo mail app but the yahoo mail app kept crashing so I decided to force close it with Manage Applications and tried to reopen it, but then my phone froze. This was all going on while some of my other apps were updating. I waited for a good 30 minutes but nothing happened so I decided to pull the battery out.
My issues and what I've tried:
So my issue now is that whenever I boot my phone up again the HTC logo would show up like usual but when it transitions to the Cyanogenmod logo with the arrow circling around the Droid icon it becomes a black screen instead or it might be that the phone turns off (I cant tell but to be more specific no lights are on when this happens such as the home or menu button, etc.).
The next thing I tried is to boot into Hboot and do a recovery, but when I run recovery the same thing happens as above. The HTC screen shows up and then it goes into a black screen (I'm almost certain this isnt a hardware issue because I've never damaged my phone enough for the screen to have issues).
Seeing that recovery was hopeless, in a desperate attempt I tried to factory reset the phone through hboot, but it restarts my phone and just hangs at the HTC logo screen indefinitely. On top of all this, whenever I plug the phone to an outlet, the orange led light lights up for a few seconds and then turns off which indicates my phone isnt charging or loses connection with the cable so maybe it's a hardware issue after all?
I've spent the past 4-5 hours trying to find posts with people who've had similar situations, but either the issue was unresolved or the solution provided wasn't specific enough for me to follow (I am next to clueless with software mods). Please help me, I cannot afford a new phone at the moment and will be pretty screwed if I don't get this fixed by Monday. Thank you guys so much in advance!
A little info:
I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.2 I believe, it's the recently updated one.

see if you can pull a logcat while booting lopping/black screen
also you can try fastboot. try this
you need fastboot.exe from sdk (in tools or wherever)
open cmd from here (windows hold shift then right click in that folder)
in cmd type
fastboot devices
if your phone pops up you good to proceed if you get waiting for device we need to test some more
if good, continue (in the same folder as fastboot.exe have a recovery image, name it recovery.img)
in cmd type
fastboot -w
then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then
fastboot reboot bootloader
(maybe its fastboot reboot-bootloader)
any way once back to hboot on your phone see if recovery works

I'm pretty sure I tried this already, but I just tried it again. Rebooting bootloader makes my phone hang at the HTC screen. I used the img from the clockworkmod site directly and everything worked fine up until the reboot so I guess technically nothing worked :/.
I pulled the battery out and booted into Hboot and then recovery. It still becomes a black screen. Thanks for your help though. I would make a log but I dont know how, mind showing me the steps? Also I'm not 100% sure, so correct me if I'm wrong, but my case isn't with boot loops right? My phone doesnt restart over and over again by itself, it just sort of goes into a black screen and stays there for eternity. It's probably a distinction without a difference though, nothing works.

[Q] Stuck on HTC logo. The phone may be bricked.

Hi there.
The problem is that I can't turn on my phone as it gets stuck no that green HTC logo.
It all started when I installed an app from google market. The phone was restarting every time I launched the app. Eventually it stopped turning on and got stuck. Also, I tried doing hard reset and other things from HBOOT menu, but there's the same problem if I choose anything except recovery— it gets stuck. I searched for the issue on the internet. So, I decided to flash a newROM. I downloaded 2.42.405.4 — Android 2.3 (with root+busybox, installs from Recovery). Renamed it as PC10IMG.zip and put it on a SD card. Then I tried to run a recovery through HBOOT. After few seconds phone with a circle of arrows appeared and phone turned off and did 7 short vibrations. Now, I guess, it's bricked completely as it doesn't respond to my actions at all. Neither the red light in the corner after I connect the phone to computer.
I managed to get some information from HBOOT menu:
