Desire HD Bricked? Volume Rocker Broken and no HBOOT - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted Desire HD on which I had MIUI running for the last few months. I was planning to give the phone to my sister and since she wanted the stock rom, i used clockwork rom manager to restore the backup of the stock ROM which I had made prior to flashing MIUI. However, during the restore an error occurred during the restoration of the data. Afterwards when I tried to restart the phone it ends up in a restarting loop.
Since the volume rocker is not working I am unable to start in HBOOT and thus dont know how to flash another ROM. Is the phone bricked ?

Find a RUU for your phone, and flash it via fastboot following this:

DON´T USE A CUSTOM ROM....JUST A RUU

[Q] Stuck at bootscreen after every single custom ROM flash.

hi
I´ve rooted and flashed my desire several times. rooted with unrevoked3 everytime and tried different roms like leedroid 2.2d, 2.2 f and rcmixhd 0.13. First time i did it i flashed leedroid 2.2d and it worked fine. After 1,5 months running leedroid my phone rebooted due to the overheating problems that 50 % of us suffer from (i rebooted it manually several times during those months and it worked until this day).
It got stuck at the bootupscreen with white background and green HTCtext. couldn´t install RUU via windows, had to grab the PB99IMG.zip onto my SD and boot into bootloader and restore my phone this way. Then i rooted it AGAIN, and flashed rcmixhd 0.13. Success! But only until i rebooted it manually, stuck at bootupscreen again.
I restored the phone from SD with pb99img as earlier. Flashed rcmixhd again and made sure i wiped everything (dalvik, cache, formatted sdcard and created a EXT), success! Until i rebooted my desire...back again.
Now im running stock non-rooted froyo. I´m getting tired of spending the night fixing it but i still want to use senseHD and i like tweaking stuff..
Do any of u guys recognize this problem and what can i do to fix it?
If any of you are from sweden, plz answer in swedish!
Same problem here, the only way i got to install a custom rom was by installing update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip. Then installed a custom rom by using the "Rom Manager" tool.
Downloading and flashing through recovery mode, "No, can do!"
Ok, but "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" isn´t that a custom ROM? Did you install that through ROM manager?
And did you flash another ROM on top of it?

yes this is a custom rom, i did a normal flash first to "update-cm-6.1.0-Desire-signed.zip" (some how that worked???). Then i reflashed through the "ROM manager" tool.
Do you remember to always wipe everything in Recovery before flashing a new rom?
Seems like I always used to have a bootloop or bootfreeze when did not do the proper wipe.

i wiped everything even the Dalvik Cache, didn't help a thing.
Could is be that is has something to do with rom's that are not signed?
I have this same problem now, any possible sollutions?
Perdonally i would suggest to reformat your sd cards and try again. Dont forget to wipe everything.

Happend to me once or twice.
What to do is, Turn of the phone take out battery do the neccessary wipes and formatting,
root
install clockwork mod from market, go to it and choose install recovery
install rom
install kernel (might affect it somehow)
reboot

[Q] Phone rejecting any new ROMs

So I rooted using unrEVOked a while ago, have flashed multiple ROMs, currently with CM7, but now I just want to take it back to the stock sense ROM. When I flash the ROM it brings up an error message and defaults back to CM7. This happens anytime I try to flash any new ROM now. Have tried flashing from Recovery and from ROM Manager. What am I doing wrong, am I missing something?
Edit: Now will only revert to CM 6.1.2 which was the first ROM flashed.
Is signature verification on?
Where did you get the"stock sense"rom?
Why not use a pc36img.zip?
What recovery are you using?
What is the error message?

Are you still rooted? Boot into the bootloader (power off your device then simultaneously press the down volume button and the power button) and at the upper right corner when the bootloader screen appears you should see either S-ON or S-OFF. Hopefully, it displays S-OFF. If not, you are no longer rooted. If it does display S-OFF, I recommend that you flash the latest version of amon RA. Afterwards, reboot into recovery, select the wipe menu and then wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT the SD card itself. When you're done, flash the rom you want to flash.

dont know if it will help you but a friend of mine had a similar problem,and he thought it was a problem with the whole asop vs sense rom, what he did was flash another asop rom, he flashed miui rom and then he let it run for a few hours and then flashed sprint lovers rom which is pretty close to stock and it worked
Thanks everyone. Got it figured out. Not sure what the issue was but got Sprint Lovers flashed and running.

[PROBLEM] Desire isn't loading ROMs

Hi to all, I am new into this and need some help
I admit it, I am a noob
So, this is my phone state.
I have rooted my HTC Desire with Revolutionary and I have ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0. on it. I had official Gingerbeard update before I rooted my phone.
My problem is that I can't install any roms. The only one that works is CyanogenMod 7, and I wish to use other rom. I can't install official roms from my computer too, because of custom is currently installed (I think that is the reason).
Everything looks good when I try to flash roms. Wiping cash & factory reset is going well, then I select install .zip from SD, that goes well too. I wait some time and it says that flashing was successful.
Problem starts when the phone should load rom. It goes up to HTC animation, and then the animation is constantly repeating, and it won't load rom. I made a huge mistake when I forgot to make Gingerbeard nandroid backup, and now the only thing I can run is CyanogenMod.
Any help is welcome

[Q] pretty much bricked my desire hd, help?

well it all started when i tried rooting my phone, i used the hack ace tool, followed all the instructions and so far through it froze. after so long i decided to pull the plug and take the battery out... when it restarted it all booted up fine and i did the checks to find somehow it had done it
then downloaded cyanogen 7 and put it on with clockwork recovery is it? when it first installed it just boot looped so took out the battery and it started up fine, i had also made a backup of my stock rom which was a orange branded one. i messed around with it for a while before flicking back and forth between the stock and cyanogen when on cyanogen i think i put back clockwork recovery to an older state. after this it wouldnt access the stock rom files so i couldnt revert back to it, assuming it was the clockwork i tried to uninstall it with titanium but it didnt work and had to restart the phone. after that i tried re rooting hoping it would reinstall clockwork like when i first rooted it.
now my phone boots up to the htc screen and i dont know what to do, could anyone give any help?

you have to do a full wipe be for flashing a completely new ROM, if you go in to hboot then go into recovery, you can do the full wipe pm me if you need extra help
If I helped you hit the thanks button!

May have bricked my replacement one x

So my rooted one X that i didnt have a custom rom on started to fail on me (screen stopped working) etc.. Nothing software related. I made a backup of my rom using TWRP and to verify that it worked i actually wiped the phone and reloaded that backup and everything was fine. So i went and got a new ONE x with my warranty. Rooted it, flashed a recovery ( I FORGOT TO BACKUP THE STOCK ROM OF MY REPLACEMENT!!! =((((((( ) I attempted to restore the phone to my old phones backup (boot/system and data).. Which failed badly.. I get past HTC screen and then just a black screen with a white bar flashing up top everyonce and a while. Ive tried to flash custom roms to atleast have a phone and nothing is work.... What can i do? =\ I'd also like to add that after i tried to install a custom rom the phone will auto boot into recovery, or atleast attempt to over and over again. Even after reflashing boot.img
Give the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar all
And delete the serial number and imei !
