[HELP] Soft brick? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda developers I really need your help I looked every where can't find an answer
So here is the problem I used wanted to root my desire us but forgot to s off it.
After that I found out that my phone can turn on but it takes 10-15m to fully turn on fully
Its like this after I less the power button takes about 3-5m to get to a white screen with HTC logo and its vibrating when gets
To white screen with HTC logo after vibrating 3-5m the vibrating stops and after 3-5m it turns on.
Cant go to recovery mode or clock works mode phone rooted at the moment to go to hoot I need to use
CNET with command and reboot bootloader can't control hboot with volume buttons or power its stuck
Ruu not working can't get to recovery as its stuck in HTC logo screen after vibration.

Didn't understand that. Your phone doesn't turn on fully (does it boot into any ROMs?). Bootloader works but Recovery doesn't?
Could you clarify olease

On the first boot it can take up to 15 minutes to boot. But it shouldn't take 15 minutes to boot normally...

This is not the case, I mean when I press the power button it takes the phone 3-5m to get to the white screen with HTC Logo with vibration after 3-5m later vibration stops after waiting about 2m the phone starts up(TOOOOOOOO much time) In any system used to have Froyo still had to wait that time, Help me fix it and make my phone start up like before...

Hmm.... odd problem. Try running a Gingerbread RUU (will remove custom recovery and all bad traces) and run the hack kit, shiuld work

Possibly a messed up bootloader, not sure.

I'd say revert back to stock and then run aahk and repeat whatever you did. If you didn't use aahk to root your phone before I suggest you do this time.

I had the same problem. I had tried everything bad nothing help. I have flash boot.IMG and the boot loader himself bud nothing.
So go back to stock for repair. T is your motherboard. (The chip were your bootloader is) you can tried flash the boot loader but Jo must have radio s off.(this can not be undo this not the same as eng-s off) If you have radio s off your warranty void. So go back to stock that is what I has do. Good luck
You can run the ruu>conect>usb>run adb >adb reboot bootloader> wait max 10 min>the screen is white you must waist for fastboot USB take 5 min> start ruu.
I din't help me but maybe you are lucky
Sorry for my bad English

Dit you use AAHK for eng-s bootloader(mine was broken by the tool form kloyo nothing personal)
It is not adviseable to flash the ENG HBOOT on ACE devices SHIPPED with Gingerbread. This can cause a severe boot problem.
See the AAHK manual

I have had then when i messed up rooting my phone, its not bricked. your recovery is messed up, follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710081&postcount=2
if step 2 does not do anything then just hold volume down and power then navigate to recovery.
keep trying till you can boot recovery it will work, thats what i did
Did you try running the RUU update while you are in this mode?
The USB port should be in hboot-usb mode.

Koedil,
Did you ever manage to fix your Desire? If you did, then how did you do it?
I have the same problem and am tearing out what little hair I have.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I figured out a fix
If you haven't already fixed your Desire, then after some trial and error I came up with this fix (post #5) that worked for me.
Read it ....Hope our xda be better

Help! Phone not starting!

Ok, heres the situation. My Desire is S-OFF, I just flashed a partition table (for Oxygen RC4) from fastboot and it was successful, then did a 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'. The phone then turned off, and didn't come back on :S
I left it for a good 30 minutes, nothing. So I pulled the battery, put it back in, and went to start it... nothing! But when I plug in the charger, the LED lights up green. As soon as I touch the power button, it disappears, and the phone is dead.
Someone help out a poor fellow?
Did you check the MD5 of the download? Maybe the file was corrupt...
Btw, Q&A would have been a better place to post.

A messed boot loader happens when you flash a Froyo RUU on a ROM shipped with Gingerbread. It was fixable, but with the retirement of AAHK and attn1's servers I'm not sire if it still is.
Can you get into the boot loader? If so, load a hboot image into hboot by renaming the zip to PD98IMG.zip and placing it into the root of your SD card, then put the SD back into your phone then hold volume down and power

If he has a messed bootloader and flashes a RUU, he will probably brick his device...quoting attn1:
"...Because mercifully, your miserable dumbass life will end before you see that RUU finish flashing. Your hboot is in super slo-mo, and all the sand that’s passed through all the hourglasses since the dawn of time itself will not amount to how long it will take a full RUU to complete flashing. Well okay, maybe I am exaggerating just a little..."

Neotanker, is the phone booting at all? even after 25 mins? can you access hboot after waiting about 20 mins? if you can access to hboot you might be able to fix it (I can help you) but if you don't get hboot then you are probably done!

Does your phone vibrate for about 7 seconds and gets stuck on the white screen?? leave it for about 20-30 minutes and it will turn on. You seemed to messed the bootloader.

learn to use cmd prompt on windows...search on google its not that hard n will make things alot more easier

thats all i can help u with..

There is no easy way for that unfortunately. You messed your bootloader for flashing something you shouldn't have and being warned all around didn't stop your from doing it.
So, my piece of advice is that you take time to do some research and learn how to do it. There is no other way, unless you find someone willing to do it for you.
TIP: Make sure that your phone fully boots even if it takes 30 minutes to and you also are able to get to hboot. Otherwise the fix is useless.

HTC Desire HD won't boot.. help!

Ok guys, I definitively need your help now.
This morning I woke up, i toke my phone (already on) and I saw that keyboard didn't work anymore, so I rebooted it and appeared the white screen with HTC LOGO, then three or four vibrations and BUM... FREEZED.
The phone is rooted, with custom rom. S-OFF.
The problem is that i can't enter into RECOVERY of the phone anymore, but I can still enter into BOOTLOADER. I tried to do a FACTORY RESET, but doesn't work (the display show again the htc logo with some vibrations before the freeze).
There is some way to format/repair with the help of PC ? Like when i changed my RADIO some weeks ago... or.. I don't know.
Thanks.

That sounds like a fried motherboard. Try flashing a RUU from fastboot usb. If after the flashing the phone keeps not booting, then your motherboard needs to be replaced.
If you need help with the flashing read the guide in my signature to find out how to perform that stuff. :victory:

Check or volume rocker/keys. On the mytouch 4g, when u press volume up and power key while phone is off, it vibrates and the notification light blinks red. So maybe or volume up key is stuck.
