Can someone help me - stuck on htc boot - very strange situation

Hi everybody,
first I want to thanks to all xda members for there hard work.
I read many many threads on this forum trying to fix the problem I have on my desire, but didn't succed with anything........ very sad
here is my situation:
- I get stuck on HCT logo on white screen. I can acces fastboot, my pc recognize the phone with fastboot devices but I can't acces recovery, when I get to hboot than select recovery and press power button I get stuck on htc logo, nothing
I tried Paul's r6 root guide, done succesfully step1 with a gold card, with no error everything working well, but than when I get in fastboot and tried to acces recovery the same thing I get stuck on HTC logo screen and stuck there.
I bought the phone in these situation from a guy that has no history on it. Is from UK orange branded.
When I bought, it i had 0.75 Hboot and after run "RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe"
I got 0.80 Hboot.
So everything I tried I can't pass over HTC logo screen.
The strangest thing is that the volume down button seems not to work: when phone is off pressing volume down and power got me in HTC logo screen, and also when in Hboot only volume up work while volume down do nothing - what could it be?
So please if anyone know or have any ideea what should I tried to make my desire usable.
The HTC logo screen drive me crazy..
many many thanks

make sure your ROM is ready on the SD card for flashing and try getting into FastBoot,,, using back button + Power, and see if you can use the controls to get into recovery,,, its worth a shot

thanks for your replay, I can get in fastboot, but the problem is with the recovery, it doesn't work at all. From fastboot I go on the hboot and than move with volume up button (volume down button as I said do nothing - the strange situation) to the to line with recovery and when I press power button there is no recovery just get the HTC logo screen (not the triangle from recovery or any other recovery).
anothe rhing to mention that I also tried to load the PB99IMG.zip with Hboot everything works ok but after finishig install just got HTC logo screen........

you have a rooted Desire right??
Give it a re-rooting and flash with a brand spanking new ROM follow the instructions here;

I know that - but just doesn't work for me.
I can only acces fastboot and hboot - nothing else, but I tried r6 from Paul roting procedure step1 but can't get in OS of the phone - get stoc on that Logo.
possible a brick
I read the thread about usb-brick-unbrick but I can't do anything cause I can't get in the OS of the phone to lunch the emulator.

HTC Desire recovery stuck help needed..

my htc desire when i turn it on, it shows the htc screen with the triangles in the corners.i tried to turn it on by volume + power, but that is not working, it shows the same, earlier it was working on 2.10.405 with 5.09.05.302 radio with 0.93.0001 bootloader...
im trying somehow to install the same version via RUU, but it freezez at 63% when it starts copying the radio...on other versions i have the Customer id doesnt fit and signature problems and so on... is there anyway to wake up my phone!?
any suggestions are welcome...thanks in advance

try to press your power key once, i think the image with triangle is the recovery menu...
and be sure you have rooted your phone

I had the same problem, went to htc and they changed the motherboard of the phone.

my phone is not rooted...i think so

[Q] htc desire wierd bootloop

Hey guys,
my htc desire was working fine one minute the next it reboots, and gets stuck at the htc white screen i leave it there for 10-15 minutes and then pull the battery out as its not getting anywhere(or so i think at this point) and now when ever i try and boot my phone it goes straight into hboot and i cant use the down vol key its wierd like the buttons are swapped around i use the normal buttons in hboot go into recovery to reboot and they swap, down button is confirm up is up, trackball is down and when i hit reboot, it goes back to hboot, i tried a factory reset and a dalvik cache wipe, any other ways i could try and get my desire back on its feet, warrenty is out the question as its second hand but the phone was working fine and the only thing i dont know is what ruu to try, should i just try them all?

I guess you have a gsm desire.
If you have a branded desire, download the latest one from your provider you can find here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
If you have a unbranded desire, download this ruu:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (start with pressed back and power button or enter bootloader from hboot menu with power button) and then run the downloaded exe on your computer.

Hello there,
Since I have a 'stuck at the boot screen' problem, I am considering flashing a RUU back into my Desire.
Can a RUU be flashed on custom Recovery & hboot (AmonRA, S-OFF etc)?

no, a RUU is flashed on fastboot from your computer, or as a PB99IMG.zip from bootloader.

right i did a ruu and it ran ok and got through fine so thats the phone unrooted now, but its still in the bootloop, i'm gonna take it apart and clean the buttons as they seem to be a badguy in this scenario, but when i go to power on the device doesnt vibrate or anything it just goes straight into hboot

I FIXED IT! turned out it wasnt even broken, the contacts on the volume down button were broken and always touching so that was why it was always booting into hboot, luckily i wanted to unroot my phone xD but now the challenge is to fix the contacts any ideas on ways i could do this on the cheap so i can use the buttons again? currently the contacts are blocked with bluetack in order to stop them touching xD

Desire: no boot constant vibration

Dear XDA developers,
a few days ago my internet connection started to fail so i decided to normally reboot my HTC desire by using the power button. After the restart it kept rebooting and showing the AlphaRev boot screen. I decided to reflash the phone by using a standard RUU. I tought it all worked out well, untill it crashed at 99%.
When i press the power button, the phone starts a continiuous vibration and shows a black (blanc) screen. I can not enter the bootloader / fastboot / recovery. It seems to react on nothing. I tryed to charge it, in case it was a battery issue, but no luck and no charging led.
I was running Leedroid + root + s-off with H-Boot 0.93.
On the XDA forum i found a way to blindly access the bootloader if there is no screen, this is not working out either.
Can someone help me out? Or is it ready to throw away? Besides that, is it possible to send it for guarantee? Or would there still be rooted/custom rom footsteps on the device?

it sounds like u flashed the wrong ruu. theres 2 types
amoled
or slcd
find out which ur phone is and flash that ruu

I will try but the computer does not recognize the device. Keep you updated.
edit:
Don't think this has anything to do with the screen. On the forum i found a topic with a trick (blind navigating to the recovery screen), but i think nothing happens when i follow this steps.

Maybe the HBOOT got fubar'd. If that's the case, your phone may be bricked. Take it to HTC for a look-see.

Is there any risk involved?
Yes, there is. Flashing HBOOT will flash a critical part of your phone, if that gets corrupted, your phone WILL be bricked.

If your phone no longer turns on anymore, please return to HTC for warranty purposes.

Do you think the warrenty will void if i send it for repair? Because there hase been a custom ROM and bootloader installed?

Black screen after the HTC Logo

Hallo everyone!
my old HTC Desire (Bravo) seems to be bricked. When I turn on the device, it appears the HTC Logo, then the screen turns only black. I have been trying to remove the battery for some minutes and put it on again, trying to go in the recovery mode (vol down and power on togheder for 10 seconds) but it doesn't work, it just shows the HTC Logo and then black screen.
The device is rooted, if I remeber correctly there's a Cyanogen Mod installed.
There's anything that I can do, or he's dead? :crying:

Have you tried the troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A?
If you don't have any crucial data on the phone, I would try and find the 2.3.3 WWE RUU to flash, research the PB99IMG.zip method.

Thanks, I have been looking at the stickied thread only right now, but I'm afraid that I don't know how to categorize my HTC Desire problem.
I have no important data on the Phone, and I can reset everything without problems. I have been trying PB99IMG Method , I could install the PB99IMG.zip in the SD Card without problems, but as before, the volume down and power button togheder doesn't work, it just show the HTC Logo and the black screen, so I can't get access to the fastboot/recovery mode

Bump, any idea?
