Hi everyone. My friends Desire seems to be completely dead. What we did:
- we s-offed desire with revolutionary
- we tried several ROMs with no problem
- the last ROM was the Sandvold ICS ROM
- in one day desire doesn't response - whatever you do it ends up in bootloader. Problem is, that we cannot use volume up and down to enter recovery or fastboot. We also wanted to reflash hboot by renaming it to PMG... with no success. It recognized the file in SD card and showed only - "PARSING" for more than half an hour. And nothing else. After taking battery out and power on again it shows only following:

It seems that the phone has broken navigation arrows (hardware) or something, because you cannot do nothing - if you want to power off the phone, you must take the battery out.
Do you have any idea what we can try? (I also made a golcard and I have working ADB - if necessary).
Many thanks for any reply.
It would seem the phone is hanging in bootloader which is not a very good sign. Some suggestions:-
- Let the phone cool down and try booting.
- Pull battery, start phone with back+power to go directly to fastboot. If it enters fastboot mode this way then there is hope.
- What hboot was in PB99IMG.zip? Was the md5 ok ? With hboot and radio there are no second chances. Did the problems occur after this procedure or before.

Thanks for quick answer. Unfortunately, phone didn't boot into fastboot after pressing BACK+POWER ... Yes, it was PB99IMG.zip. MD5 was for sure correct because I flashed this exact file several times before with success.
This problem occured before trying update hboot.
It looks like R.I.P. for Desire - isn't it?
The phone first boots the radio (modem processor) and thereafter the bootloader(hboot) (application pocessor). They both are the starting points. Without them booting successfully there is no easy access to the phone. Maybe somebody has got better suggestions.

I've read several guides and I've tried several different RUU's
RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
All of them do the same thing, they connect to the phone start loading and when the phone is showing the hTC logo they say waiting for bootloader and then say an error occurred.
Some of the guides say leave the phone on the htc screen and reload the bootloader. The moment I exit the RUU installation the phone reboots to cyanogen mod. I've tried restarting etc.. leaving the phone in and just re-running. No luck, I cannot get the phone to stay on the hTC screen, it always restarts when I exit the program.
Any ideas as the phone needs repairing as the cpu crashes continuously!
Thanks

Which error code occured? CID error? If yes, create a goldcard:
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
After this, pu this in your desire and flash ruu again:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release (If you want stock froyo)
RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06 .00.02_2_release_124865.exe (If you want eclair rom with o2 rom (i guess that was your branding).
I get Error code 171 error connecting via usb. This is when it's just loaded the new bootloader and is sitting on the new htc logo. I then click exit and it throws me back to cyanogen mod.
I have the original gold card in from when I did the root.
Try the RUU on baadnwz.eu/search/label/addons
I've just them before i rooted my phone with Unrevoked

Sounds for me you could have an usb brick. Here is a guide how fix it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
When done, try to flash ruu like before again.
Okay,
I tried the usb brick fix. Made no difference. It was still throwing the 171 error.
I had a look around online and found you can grap the rom.zip file from the temp directory of windows while the RUU is running. I renamed this to PB99IMG.zip and dropped it on the root of the sd card (gold card) and then booted to hboot. This then started to install the new hboot 0.93 and O2 UK Froyo from the
RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32 U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe RUU.
Hope this helps if anyone else is stuck.
Hi there!
Maybe this question was asked 100 times but I really searched and searched but dont found any solution for my problem.
I got a HTC Desire with stock froyo on it - no root - no CFW - just stock.
Phone sometimes doesnt boot. Just come to green HTC logo 1x vibrate and reboot. If this happens I pulled out the battery leave it alone for a hour pulled it back and it boots fine.
Because of this error I tried to fix it with latest dev update to gingerbread. Install went fine - succesful - reboot...
Since then im not able to acces the OS. It ALWAYS stucks at green HTC vibrate on time and reboot.
Damned. Tried to flash again via RUU - same ****. Tried to flash via SD - same ****.
I have acces to Hboot and fastboot but i think this doesnt help me anyway.
So please - if anyone has a solution how to fix my bootcycle problem - give me a hint.
---EDIT---
I dont know how but i have succesfully boot into GB. Immediatly I used revolutionary to get S-OFF. Done.
Now Phone looks like it boots normally. Strange thing if I enable WIFI and connect to some network it reboot and is not able to boot again. Always reboot at Welcome screen. Battery out - wait some time - battery in - booting - extremly fast disable wifi and it works normally.
SO... is my WIFI bricked? Is anything known about that matter. If yes - are there solutions???
Thanks
CRC
really - no one can help me
damned i think my desire has a heating problem. everytime i do something little bit intesiver work - like syncing, or inet surfing - my desire does a restart and could only be reachable after 20 min without plugged in battery.
strange
Throughout reading your problems, I immediately thought it was a hardware issue. Talk to HTC and see what they say.
Punched in..
oke i allready thought about something like that
just wanted it to confirm by someone else...
thank u

Hi all,
I have a rooted HTC Desire that is stuck in a bootloop. It gets to the HTC screen and that’s it. I tried to upgrade from a cyanogen MOD 7 to gingerbread 2.3 with the RUU I got from the HTC DEV site. Well actually the upgrade looked to be succesfull but when my phone rebooted I got this bootloop.
So now I tried to do a recovery but I only get the “apply update from sdcard” instead of “apply sdcard:update.zip”. When I try to do this update I get a “invalid operation” and the phone reboots. I also did a wipe of the cache and data.
When I try and connect with usb I can only see a driver being loaded after I switch to fastboot.
I tried “adb devices” but no device is seen. When I do the “fastboot devices” I get a serial.
I also tried the Revolutionary software to S-OFF but again I get the “waiting for device”. I tried with the HTC sync drivers, bootloader drivers with several laptops and pc’s.

I also tried with an other sdcard from a working Desire but I cannot get on the sdcard.
I tried to “mount” the sdcard again with 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' but no luck.
Please ask if more info is needed.

Stuck with exactly the same problem, Devs Please help!
Hello,
yesterday i tried to root my Desire, but i forgot to remove HTCsync, now the phone boots sometimes untill screenlock/pincode. then the phone resets itself, and just vibrates 7 times and boots/reset for aprox 3 or 4 times then it dies.
unrevoked worked fine until it was waiting for a reboot it never installed clockworkmod so i dont have a clue how to fix it, i tried to flash PB99IMG from different stock roms, the Desire was simlock free, but now it tells me wrong CID,

So i can go in to the first stage of recovery, (vol down plus powerbutton) but when i want to continue to RECOVERY the phone gets stuck in the white screen wit HTC logo and thats it.
thanks in advance,
best regards,
Marcel
Search for a user called 'bortak' and look for his troubleshooting guide, it should give you enough info to get your phone working again!
It sounds to me like you should have read and learned more before you did this. If you can press volume down + power and you get the Clockworkmod Recovery then you can stop worrying. Plug the phone into the PC via USB cable and then using the trackball or the volume +/- buttons scroll down to 'Mounts and storage' then press either the trackball or power button to select. Once there scroll to the bottom option, 'Mount USB storage'. Your PC will hopefully recognise it as a disk drive now.
Now go pick any ROM that will work with a stock hboot, they will quite clearly say 'stock'. I personally use LeeDroid 3.3.3 HD wotsit, Apps2SD. Runs well, battery life is good but don't feel that you have to copy my choice, any ROM with a 'stock' version will work.
Download it and copy it across to your phones SD card - you did remember to connect the phone as I detailed above right?
Ok, once done press the back button on the phone, press back again to get to the main menu then select factory reset, then wipe cache then select 'Advanced' and wipe Dalvik cache. Press back, install zip from SD card, select the file that you copied to it, let it do its stuff and click reboot when prompted.
Hopefully, you'll have a working phone.
A couple of caveats though :-
1) You will lose all apps and data and have to start afresh
2) You will lose all contacts and messages (unless already backed up to Google)
3) I am assuming that you have created an EXT partition on your SD card. If not then you have REALLY jumped into this too fast!
And finally, don't try flashing different hboots via the pb99.img method until you have a clue what you're doing.
Good luck.
Hi there thanks for the quick reply,
the problem is i can get in to fastboot, but when i try to go in to recovery the phone stays stuck in the white screen with the htc logo and thats it.
i already rooted a different desire and that went smooth. no probs what so ever.
So i repeated the same steps on this desire and everything went exactly the opposite
way that it should have been.
Volume down + Power on is not fastboot, that's recovery.
I'm out anyway, all of the answers are available.
You have to create a goldcard:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/308798-pc-application-goldcardtool/
You can this with another working desire as well, because goldcard is only connected to goldcard and has nothing to with the phone.
When done, put this in your desire and then flash ruu via PB99IMG.zip file again. The goldcard will avoid CID error.
will it work if i use my Legend for making the goldcard?
Don't see why not. Just give it a try.
vibrates 7 times... that's a bad sign :S
now i keep getting main version is older???
now i'm stuck with the htc logo and the for reclamation marks in every corner.
i cant use android flasher because i'm S-on
if i try to update i get : radio v2 failed.
then partition failed?
i have created a gold card without any problems. but now the phone doesnt even give me the chance to select fastboot or recovery, it only says RUU and then the 4 exclamation marks.

Could be radio brick. Hope for you that it is not!
Did you use the PB99IMG.zip method with your goldcard?
is it possible that the gold card i created with my htc legend doesnt work in my HTC desire?
Don't see why it shouldn't work. But not 100% sure.

Current image version
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Chunghwa Taiwan carriers (version: 2.10.751.4)
I'm running Windows Vista x86
That's all I got.
Now, the problem.
Everytime I turn the device on, it get stuck at the White HTC Windows and vibrates several times, I think this is a pretty common problem, so I won't stress this issue too much.
The solutions that I found are.
As my device is S-ON my options are limited. I can't boot recovery, so..
I download the latest RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_29_405_5_Radio_32_49_00_32U_5_11_05_27_release_159811_signed_2
Now, I run the ruu until ask to connect, I connect my device, the ruu recognize and identify my device, it ask to update, everything good. Updating process start and suddenly stops and tells me, "error 131, customer id error"
and that I need to use the right RUU utility.?
So I decided to avoid the USB connection and try to flash it directly from the SDCARD, I extracted the rom.zip from the above file, change the name to PB99IMG.ZIP, put it on my device, volume + power, but nothing.
so thinking that something is missing, I select fast boot, the device shows some text in green, even shows the PB99IMG.ZIP file, and is back to the bootloader screen and nothing happens.
What else can I do to bring to life my device, if I choose recovery with the PB99IMG file in the sdcard, the device shows a black screen with a red triangle.
I think is something with that taiwanes RUU, but maybe not.
Could any one please put me in the right direction
Thanks in advance

Can you boot into fastboot? Using revolutionary.io will give you S-OFF and then you can flash a recovery - since you are PVT4, then AmonRa or newest CWM recommended.
You need a goldcard to RUU with that RUU. Download the 2.3.3 RUU from htcdev.com. this should resolve the Id issue.

Thanks for you replays
This is what happen now.

In tried to S-Off with Revolutionary, I remove HTC Sync and install the drivers required. > Back + Power > the device is in fastboot screen > connect the USB cable and the device seems to be recognized by the computer but no notification of that is given, except for a beep (like when you plug a USB flashdrive) but no letter is assign to the device or anything. > I double click revolutionary and the program said "waiting for device", I left it for 30min, but nothing.
As I cannot get inside the device, the problem might be that revolutionary requires my device to have "USB debugging on" I don't know if is on or not.
rootSU
How do I create a Gold Card, if I can't get inside the device to set everything up?. Can I use another Gold card or they are exclusive of each device.?.
Your recommendation are Welcome, Please let me know if you need anything from me to have a much clear understanding about what's going on.
I'll make a video to show you exactly what happening and what I'm doing

Hi there!
i got a weird acting wildfire Buzz in front of me.
What i got: Wildfire buzz in stock - locked bootloader, s-on. HTC Sense
always starts to fastboot!
boots up fine on command - fastboot boot
+- keys does not work at all in hboot or fastboot menu!
vol + - buttons acting fine in system
start recovery via ADB - red triangle - no recovery
------------------------------------------------------------
what i did
unlocked bootloader with revolutionary
flashed clockworkmod v5.0.2.0 for buzz (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.img) and even tried the one which came with revolutionary.
What works in Recovery now: i can move cursor up/down with +- keys.
when i press power it shows up the hat but nothing else happens (no wipe, no restore and nothing else!)
so i searched for about 2 days in the net and found "Hey just use RUU and you will be fine!"
so i did .. still same as before.
i just had to reflash the recovery cause it was gone after RUU
My suggestion was now: Trackball/pad stuck (click does not seem to work in system)
so i opened my wildfire and disconnected the trackpad! (Yes i did that! )
-NOTHING CHANGED-
next suggestion
Volume keys might be stuck
so i removed them!
still running into fastboot mode (and volume keys didnt like to be removed - they dont work anymore in system after i put them back in place)
details to boot
(what i can see now)
