[Q] HTC Desire doesn't start up.

Hello there, i have a htc desire... a few hours ago i`ve tried rooting it. a few seconds after flashing started, everything stopped, the screen went black, and no response what so ever since. when i plug in usb cable, the led indicating charging doesn't turn on. when i press the power button 1 single vibrate then nothing, the screen remains black. the pc does recognize it. when i type adb devices in cmd i get :
List of devices attached
HT07TPL02170 recovery
any ideas?

How long did you leave it before pulling the plug when rooting?
It should have been left for a good 5 minutes before getting worried....

uh... whell about 2 minutes. didn't know that i've had to let it 5 minutes, doesn't say in the tutorial...

Ok, well id suggest running the root process again until it says its successful on your pc.
No guarantees this will work tho....

i think the update.zip is not suitable for my version of htc, maybe that's why it didn't work. can u help me with a stock froyo 2.2 rom? and maybe a quick tutorial on how to flash it?

What is your current rom and is it branded.
Do you have the rom details, numbers etc..
The more info. The better.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

i don't think it's branded... my current rom, i have no idea i'm new to android.
32.43.00.32U --- does this help?

The easiest thing to do would be to run the 2.29.405.5 RUU or flash it as PB99IMG from your sdcard.
Do a search in this forum as it has been detailed a number of times.

how can flash from sd card... since my screen is black at all times. can't navigate trough quickboot on phone. tried RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe
but i get error 170, connection problem.

my current image version is 2.09.405.8, just managed to get the rom update utility running.

i'm downloading right now the 2.29.405.5 RUU ... hope it works.

Good stuff.
The rom I mentioned is a newer version but as long as you get a working phone, that's the main thing.

okay... i've flashed with RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
worked. everything is ok now. but... how do I root the damn thing ?

Nice one.
To root, you need to use unrevoked3.
Just follow the instructions on their website, don't miss anything and don't pull the pkug too early.
I'm assuming you used unrevoked earlier?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

i used r6-desire-root.zip
but first made an goldcard... on a 2gb sd.

I've never heard of that.
Have a look at unrevoked, it is what the majority, if not all, use on here.
Just a heads up before you continue, make sure you install htc sync and then uninstall it before continuing. This leave a couple of drivers installed that the process uses.
Then follow the instructions to the letter!
Try not to pull the plug prematurely.....
Good luck
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

unrevoked gets stuck on "waiting for bootloader" altough the bootloader is on screen...

Have you enabled usb debugging?
Have you turned off any antivirus, firewalls on your pc?
Does it say 'fastboot usb' on your phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

ok.. let's take it step by step.
I've uninstalled HTC Sync, but left the htc usb driver installed.
i've started unrevoked, it rebooted the desire, then hangs at waiting for bootloader
On the phone i have the white screen with the following options
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
and a few info's on the device.

Have you installed the hboot drivers from unrevoked? There is a download link for them on their site.

[Q] Is my Desire Recoverable?

hey everyone,
i recently tried to do a factory restore on my Desire using a Telus RUU from shipped-roms, however, it did not complete the update (because I forgot about needing a Gold Card)
However, now my phone just goes to a screen with the HTC logo in the middle and and exclamation triangle in each corner. No matter how I try and turn my phone on (Volume Down + Power / Back + Power / Menu + Power) they all come to the same screen with the HTC logo and exclamation triangles. Is there something I can do to recover my phone back to the OS (ANY OS will do)?
thankyou in advance for any help.

Yes all is not lost you need to connect the phone to a computer, pc or laptop and get the adb drivers and the adb software from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
This will allow you to get past the triangle thing and into recovery to flash a rom. Have a read of the link I have you about the adb and the thing your looking for I think is something like adb recovery_windows.bat that you will download as part of the adb stuff.
I have had it a few times and managed to fix with adb for windows
Look at the how to flash a rom section it tells you about the triangle thing you have at the moment
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

hi Dazzlet
i've got the adb software on my computer, just waiting for the java thing to download so I can install it. Looking through the link you gave me, I am not finding any information about where to go from here? I checked out the sections you said I should, but I can't find anything regarding the triangles thing I am getting. Any more help would be appreciated...
Sorry for being a pest.

In the link there is a section with a green heading that says how to flash a rom that is the steps you need to take to fix the problem
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Sorry if I'm being naive, all I am finding is information on how to do this from the phone. Am I just missing something on how to install a ROM from my pc without being able to interact with my Desire? Thank-you again.

Alright managed to figure it out. Was a gold card creation issue. My Desire HD memory card is MMC2, which isn't supported in the gold card tool app. After that I got a RUU to load onto my phone.

thast wierd you needed a gold card 4 your telus desire but i didnt 4 mine

And even with the gold card I was unable to use the TELUS RUU. Had to use a generic one. Would have been nice to have gotten the TELUS one on.

Did you use this one?

EddyOS,
yes that is the RUU that I tried using, downloaded it a second time in case the first one had messed up during downloading, neither worked.

[Q] htc marvel / wildfire s - think i bricked it...help?

Hi, ive been lurking on the xda forums for months, and have succesfully roooted and run darky rom on my galaxy s. then i got a wildfire s second hand.
Now i decided to try for s-off and a custom cwm rom. downloaded all the files read everything i could, and have managed to brick it i think.
Result if i press power or volume down + power i get a flickering screen, it flashes grey for 2 sec, black 2 sec. there is a faint red glow to the right of the front htc logo...where i thought the camera was lol.
i was trying to use the htcdev.com route. downloaded :

RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35 .3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe
which was hard to find and a pain to download...i ran this, it found my phone, gave me the usaul warnings, check battery etc, everything set so i told it go ahead, it ran for bout 7 or 8 minutes my phone went to a black screen with htc, did a progress bar then it said finished on the pc. left it for a few more minutes to be sure, then powered on my htc. screen starts flicking grey and white...
ive tried removing the battery, cant get into hboot, get no logos, no vibration, nothing.
sdcard has been removed and sim card.

Hello I'm no expert but I hope to try and help OK so you can turn the phone on, and it flickers and then the screen goes black? Does the phone remain on after the black screen? If so what is the longest you have left it?
Also when you tried to connect it to your PC did you try in *rom mode* or *hboot * mode?
If rom mode try in hboot mode and see if your PC can connect to it. If it can try to re-run the ruu and see if it brings it back to life.
It sounds to me like either the bootloader or your radio is ****ed. And neither are easy to fix. But report back with your findings and we'll take it from there good luck.

I had it running from the rom and running the ruu says device not connected now. Can't load into hboot anymore either...it flickers grey and black continuously and the longest is bout 7min I left it...I'm nt in a panic bt want to get it running for my gf and thanks for taking the time to try help
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

OK hold down the volume down + power for 10 seconds and then connect to the PC by USB and see if it shows up. And its cool man, always happy to help
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

Holding volume and pressing power causes the flickering to start again...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

And does the PC connect to it? Because our only real hope, since your s-on is that by holding down power +volume down you can get the PC to connect to it and the see if fastboot is still functional, then run a ruu. If it cannot, you could try to take the ruu, remove the rom.zip from it, (run it on the PC with a process moniter, wait until it moves the file to the temporary folder and take it) rename to pg76img.zip put it on the sdcard, boot into hboot and wait for a bit, then push volume up and hope that it runs the update and fixes your screen. If that doesn't work then you have indeed bricked it.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

Nothing I do seems to get me into hboot or a rom...pc doesn't pick up usb either...so I think my bootloader kicked the bucket....is there any way to save this phone now? Thx for the help everyone who has replied, and those with the same problem.good luck...

You could try to use a j-tag but it would end up costing you more than the phone tbh. Sorry bud.

Don't know how to use jtag anyway...thanx for trying

thank you everyone
thancks everyone who put some effort in, sori i didnt have good news, gonna put the phone on ice and see if anyone in durban has jtag will post up a reply if i have any luck and hope what happened to me helps someone else. take care, will still be in xda but probably in the galaxy s forums, cheers

hi
i have the same problem but in my wfs i can trun it on but the voloume button didint work

[Solved] Phone stuck at HTC logo

I have a htc desire.. was using ICS rom on it.. decided to go back to stock rom.. downloaded stock RUU for India from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
now stuck at black screen with HTC logo in middle and /!\ on all four corners... followed the following steps
I
nstalled HTC sync on PC (windows vista .. tried with windows XP too)
Tried to flash RUU by double clicking on it..
After some time the phone vibrated a few times when the flashing was going on and then there was an error 110 - Bad RUU or something
Downloaded the RUU again in case the earlier one got corrupted... same error..
searched on xda a lot, tried android flasher to flash stock bravo bootloader.. it was stuck at flashing.. used command prompt to flash bootloader in fast boot.. it showed success but a time period of just 0.217 sec
Tried RUU again, didn't work, same error
tried bravo_downgrade hboot and then RUU, same error
tried bravo_downgrade hboot along with stock bravo hboot and then RUU, same error
thought of going back to custom rom so that atleast I can use the device but no recovery is present.. tried flashing recovery using command prompt .. it showed success but doesn't load. all button combos take to the screen mentioned above.
Tried going through other threads.. same thing is mentioned.. its a factory unlocked phone, unbranded and all..
Any help?

Was able to flash recovery in fastboot and reboot in recovery.. flashed custom rom .. success.. but when rebooted it gets stuck at the same htc logo with /!\ at the corners

It seems that downgrading the hboot is not at all possible... tried flashing the official GB RUU downloaded from HTC developers site.. the phone came alive !!

Hey there, I also have the same problem with a htc desire. I got the phone from a guy, so i don't know how exactly he got into this state. He said that he tried to update something on the telephone when the power went of. And since then the phone is stuck with this Htc logo and the "!" in all 4 corners. I am very new into smartphones so i don' really know what u did when u said that you flashed the official GB RUU. Could you guide me trough this process so i can try it, and see if it works for me too please ? Thank you !

Reboots

Welcome
I have an HTC desire with Alpharev CM(145 system) and cyannogenmod 7. When i use my phone for a few minutes,it reboots without any message or something else. After the reboot if i try to run a program,the phone rebooted again,until i leave it alone for a couple of minutes. What's going on???
Also i tried with stock hboot and then flash an official ruu but nothing...

Still, could be a motherboard problem. Flashing a RUU usually solves every problem, but if it persisted after the RUU, then it may he a hardware problem.

Hey I noticed that when the phone is hot after some time of playing it starts to reboot. Also if I enter to recovery or fastboot ,flashes normally during this time without the reboots... Does someone know how to fix this?? Or an ruu to flash to fix it? Now currently running Android 2.3 from HTC

Try keeping your phone in the freezer for ten minutes. Does it make any difference?

You wont gonna believe this...as strange as it may seems my phone was usb bricked(i think).I flashed the misc and from then the phone is in normal temperatures and no reboots!!!!But in usb brick simptoms i cant found the temp issue....What is going on???
