Hi All,
I got a problem with my HTC desire. Whenever i've tried to boot, it just goes under Hboot. When I try to get into recovery, the white screen with HTC logo appears and then just stucks right there. Is there anyway to solve it? Before that, I tried to mount sd card, but it say Error Mounting sd card and later I also tried to mount USB storage, but it didn't work. But now, I can't even go under recovery.
Flash a ruu in fastboot or reflash a recovery...

*********POSSIBLE SOLUTION BELOW DESCRIPTION***********
Hello guys, I have been having some very weird behaviour with my Telus desire since it has been rooted and running some roms.
I rooted with Revoked3, and flashed the CM nightly 8/14/2010 to get my fastboot to read:
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.83.0001
RADIO-5.09.00.20
All was fine, until I tried to play some music off my SD card, but remembered the only "music" I had were the various notification/ringtone/alarm sounds, which went into shuffle mode and sort of froze, so I pulled the battery.
Well, now attempting to boot into my (Clockwork, SLCD) recovery just hangs at the white HTC screen (not the black recovery due to wrong SLCD recovery) and:
fastboot flash recovery Clockwork_recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeilds an error:
<remote: signature verify fail>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I thought I had a brick... however, I pulled the SD card AND SIM card and can boot into Cyanogen and get through to the main menu. Now I don't want to reboot and not be able to boot again! Without being able to boot with an SD OR SIM card, I seem to be up a creek.
What the hell happened!?
SHOCKING NEW DEVELOPMENTS: Well I also was able to fish around for a 256mb SD card to plug into it, but the ROM wont (cant?) mount it. I also reran unrevoked3, and it will not reboot. Great. I pulled the battery, and I am stuck at the white HTC logo and no recovery.
NEWEST DEVELOPMENTS: I was able to replace my SIM card, SD card and boot into Cyanogen. I can ADB from here, but what now? Am I stuck on Cyanogen Desire RC1? does it have to do with the BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON

flash pb99img zip file and access recovery to reflash a new rom
I've rooted my weeks old HTC Desire with the latest Unrevoked and I partitioned my SD card for use with A2SD; everything went fine. In ClockWorkMod recovery I installed A2SD from SDcard and that went fine too (had to toggle signature verification though). But the subsequent reboot got me stuck at the white screen with green HTC letters.
I used fastboot from the SDK to see if I was bricked because of the A2SD and it told me I wasn't. I can get into Fastboot, HBoot and the ClockWorkMod recovery (v2.5.0.7). What can I do now to get past the white screen?
You can try re-flashing a ROM that has A2SD by default(So that in future you won't risk it again). Do a complete wipe(data/factory reset, cache), format every partition in ClockworkMod Recovery and mount it into USB. Copy the ROM's file and then flash it. Do a reboot and you should be good to go again.
Thanks, flashing a ROM with A2SD did the trick. I'm trying out the MIUI ROM which looks nice.
Hi,
I have become really stuck with this issue
ROM - 2.29.405.2
I origonally had a rooted phone with clockworkmod installed. I subsequently wanted to put it back to stock. Which i ran the latest RUU with the goldcard. I now am getting a continuous white HTC screen then vibrates and keeps doing this. No matter what i do i cannot get the phone into the recovery menu it just starts the reboot loop again.
I can get on fastboot and resend the same RUU to the phone. This installs without any issue and says that it is going to reboot the phone and going straight back to the rebooting loop.
I somehow need to get clockworkmod reinstalled so i can resolve this problem as it seems that the recovery partition is damaged somehow. I have s=on so i cannot force the restore of the recovery console with the colckworkmod as i get signature failure.
Is there an origional HTC recovery file i can use which gets past the signature failure??
"Clear storage" from HBOOT.
And give a try to the other way - download this zip , rename it "PB99IMG.zip" put it in the root of your SD card (not in a folder) , pull battery , plug it back , enter HBOOT (power+volume down) and apply it.
Edit: use goldcard if you are branded. If I understand you correctly, you say this "I subsequently wanted to put it back to stock. Which i ran the latest RUU with the goldcard" - if you flashed your original stock ROM, then you didn't need a gold card.
Branded
Yes i am branded.
Sure i tried this last time where it showed a blue meter on the right hand side. Went all the way and rebooted to the same if i rememeber.
But i will give it another go see if it works. Cheers.
I managed to get it to run the PB99IMG in the end which updated all parts without an issue. On rebooting of the phone it still does it boot loop.
I really done know what is causing this.
Unable to mount /system/, /data/, or internal storage. Was attempting to switch to GPE. Can not flash roms due to the mounting errors and i can get into recovery, and hboot. I am s-off. If you need anymore info please ask.
Edit: When trying to boot i get HTC logo with a unlocked pad lock at the bottom.
My m8 is on verizon s-off running a 5.0 build. I had my phone in my pocket when I felt it vibrate then it was on the HTC splash screen. It wouldn't boot past that was able to get into recovery but was not able to restore a backup or flash a ROM off of SD card, both failed then rebooted back to splash screen automatically. I tried to RUU to stock using fastboot then that failed and now my phone won't boot on at all. Any ideas or am I SOL?

Try this:
Boot into TWRP
go to wipe
advanced
put an X in system only
hit repair and verify partition type and size
if it's zero:
Convert to ext2 right there
and then immediately go back and do ext4
same for /data and /cache
then back out and do a factory reset from main wipe page
then reboot to bootloader.. then back to recovery and side-load a ROM or flash it from your SD card.
This fixed a slightly different problem where after a ROM flash, the phone would boot back to bootloader. Truthfully, I don't know if it will solve your particular issue, but there is no harm in giving it a shot. (solution posted while hurrying to get my *ss out the door for New Year stuffs)
Wish I could get into TWRP but phone won't even boot up. I've tried every combination of power and volume up/down that I can think of still no luck. Hook it up to my PC and the computer doesn't recognize anything. I left it on the charger over night and still nothing.
