Recently I had a brick on my Desire, which caused that I couldn't boot past the HTC Boot logo. I already made a thread about it, but without a solution. I sent my desire back for repair, but I think it wouldn't be a good idea if we all had to do this. So I would advice everyone to unroot, untill one of the genius devs has found a solution.
Symptoms:
-Boot stuck at HTC Boot Logo
-Going in to recovery takes a long time
-Recovery usually doesn't even work
Posible Solution:
-Some users are reporting, they can boot without SD and SIM (dont know if repartitioning the sd totally solves everything)
-Some users report, say that the situation is solved if you flash a diffirent rom (didn't work for me)
Finally I would like to motivate my opinion why people should unroot.
When I posted my first entry I though I was the only one, but now more and more people are getting this problem.
This problem is as said above probably something which can be solved but right now its a dangerous development.
This is the first I've heard of this issue and it not being solved by the SD card removal or reformatting.
How many people have this problem unresolved, and what exactly were you running when it happened? What rom, radio, which recovery was used etc.
I have rooted my phone and flashed about 20-30 ROM's and haven't had a single problem.
I must have been lucky to get a phone that don't brick so easy. I hope that you who have problem with this get a solution soon.

I've read about 5 diffirent posts about this. All the post are on the first two pages i think. I was running DeFrost, and used r5's recovery. And I was running the most recent radio that is now availible
@Milioo So what you said make me feel like you blame all the devs here at XDA comminity bricking your phone and have to be responsible for your bricked phone and it was bricked because of THEM. Hello, when you first rooted it and started to get cooked roms into it, you should have known there are chance that you phone would be bricked. That's always the first thing you need to put in your mind and every single dev has told so.
So if I were you, I would just shut and find the way to solve the problem or ask for solution. Anyone here would try to help. Clearly, you are not asking for solution but complaining.

I'm really sorry if i made you or anyone else feel like that. I've always have great respect for the devs who work their asses of to make great roms for us. and always look forward to new cooked roms made by them. The only reason the I made this thread is that i don't want other people to get bricked.
Could you please tell me where i implied that the devs were a fault here?
And finally, if anyone is to blame its HTC who are working so strongly against people putting custom roms on their phone, who ust want to make their user experience better.
I've had the same problem that the phone wont boot at all and get stuck at the white HTC Logo.
But it was easy fixed with a run of all the wipe options, and then flash the rom again.

Ok guys i'm sorry for posting this thread, clearly it isn't really a problem. I just wanted to post it because these instructions dind't work for me. But i will gladly remove this thread (If its possible)
hi mate .
I have the exact problem and I think it is a real problem - see my thread
Can someone help me - stuck on htc boot - very strange situation -- I was not allowed to put the link to it...
I did everything do get it started but no luck at all. is strange that can access fastboot, the pc recognize the device but the recovery didn't work at all, even one time I couldn't get it: when I push the power button the logo htc screen just appear and get stuck there.
so if every one has any idea what could be please help us,there are more than a week I tried every day to get it work again.
many thanks.
I had this problem months ago I was running my desire on a custom rom had a2sd installed formated the sd card and the phone wouldnt boot reflashed a fresh rom and everything worked fine again.
I too had this problem...
You didn't by any chance apply the unrevoked recovery did you? If so, did you also use ROM Manager.
If you read the top page of the unrevoked thread you'll see that it says that the two combined cause a problem with flash memory. To fix the brick I ran an offical HTC RUU, re-rooted using Paul's method, and then re applied unrevoked. I now definitely DO NOT use Rom manager.
Hope it was some help mate.
Yes best option if u can access hboot is to go back to stock using ruu
then re root it shd solve all probs
in my case I can acces hboot.
I did also stock ruu and PB99IMG.zip, and installed ok but just won't load OS getting stuck again on htc logo screen. I mention that I had hboot 0.75 and after stock ruu I got hboot 0.80...
still in truble, really don't know what else to try, because recovery don't work at all and I can't install a new recovery.
Is there a way to flash a recovery from fastoob???
RUU
When I flashed a RUU, it was still stuck at the bootloop.

If you can do a logcat of the boot-loop and pastebin it. We'll see what the problem is...
In terminal or command, write adb logcat or adb-windows logcat and then run it for the duration of the loop.

Yea the RUU upgrades your H-boot, Does just running the RUU achieve anything, you should just have a fresh clean non-rooted ROM load up on your device straight after running it?
Pop onto irc and visit the modaco chat room....we can have a talk about possible fixes
chat.freenode.net
#modaco
Feel free to look for me, and message me
just give the adb logcat comand while in bootloop and saying waiting for device and that's all
Have you tried restoring a good misc image? Just incase this could be related to that like other forms of brick are...
how can I restore the misc?

Although... with the mention of recovery taking an age, is that standard recovery, unrevoked or fake flash?
The above method uses the standard HTC recovery image, similar to fakeflash does. Worth a try *if* you can get it to work... May or may not resolve the issue though (I'm just guessing here) but could possibly in a weird kinda way help you to do a successful RUU restore using the PB image method...

Have you tried to fully recharge your phone first?
Are you rooted? Are you able to get into recovery mode? Do you have a previous nandroid saved?
If you are not rooted, try rooting your phone, following the instructions posted here on the forum.
Hope your Desire works again.
Hello all, I bought a rooted HTC one x a couple months ago but i wasnt able to install the software updates (kept sending me to twrp and it would fail ). while try to unroot, accidentally deleted the operating system(thru twrp advanded wipe) and right now i am not able to access the phone, its just stuck on the HTC symbol

For one if you want to update the stock OS you need the Stock recovery so . I could go through all the introductions or I can teach a man to fish.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891
go to the page above go to guides and read these "Disaster Recovery, Reverting to Stock"
find out your CID number by putting your phone in fastboot while connected to your computer and use WinDroid HTC One X Toolkit v3.0
I think the guide section should help you fix the problem easily

I'd like to return the phone back to its factory settings if its possible. my laptop isnt currently recognizing the phone, and the phone is in continuous loop at the htc logo unless i hold the volume down and power button, but from there i cannot do anything as it says "No OS installed"
I have absolutely no idea how to fix this, and would appreciate any help.
Hope this helps

Hey guys. Brand new to the forum. I need your help! I have an M9 that has been sitting around for reasons I forgot... Which I am now reminded of. Prior to replacing the phone I had deleted a photo album and tried to recover it by downloading TWRP. Obviously... That didn't work and I ended up with a completely cleared out phone... Apparently OS included. When I try to boot the phone it is stuck on the HTC screen. When I try to enter recovery mode, Team Win pops up and tells me I have no OS. Please help a girl out. I have no idea what to do! Thanks in advance.

Hi im new here and hope this is in the right place. I have a htc m8 on o2 network in the uk. Its basically not booting past the htc logo then it restarts again. I have booted into the boot loader via power button and volume down. When i go into recovery there is nothing to recover. Factory reset doesnt fix it niether does wipe the cache etc.... Tried them all. I have read a few guides and had a look at twrp but always get errors flashing them to phone. I also tried to do it via sd card but samr errors. Is anyone able to help me or advise me on what go do? My email is [email protected] if you wanted to email instead. Thank you for your time.

I had a similar issue once and it was the micro switch under the volume button itself being stuck. Have you had any issues with the volume sticking either up or down before?
No nothing like that m8. Ill double check that though.... i think its software issue..

Sorry it couldn't have been something as simple as that. May I suggest that you re-post your issue in the M8 help area of the forum located at, https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help ?
That area seems to receive more traffic by experienced users than this one, so hopefully someone can point you in the right direction as there aren't many dinosaurs like us left using "antique" novelty items like the M8 anymore.

Better to report the thread and the mods will move it. Otherwise, it doesn't really fix the problem (thread in the wrong place) but actually makes it worse (multiple threads in different sections, both asking the same question).
I'll ask the mods to move the thread.

Would be helpful to know what the errors say.
If it says "remote not allowed" it is because your bootloader is locked. It needs to be bootloader unlocked (via HTCDev.com), in order to flash custom recovery TWRP.
