HTC Desire stuck on White HTC Logo screen, tried everything! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an HTC Desire CDMA that I'm trying to fix for someone. It is stuck on the HTC Logo screen. I CAN get into the bootloader but CANNOT get into recovery. It just goes back to the logo screen and freezes. Here is the bootloader info:
Bravoc DVT2 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT- 0.98.0000

I have tried quite a few different ways to fix it but can't figure it out. It won't recognize any PB99IMG.zip files or be recognized by a computer via USB. I DO have another rooted Desire so I'm thinking maybe I can use that to put files on a microSD card or something?

I am also thinking maybe there's a way I can flash some kind of clockworkmod recovery or a recovery of some kind through fastboot so i can just flash a new ROM. But I am S-on so I don't believe I can

Try reflashing recovery via Fastboot Commander or a similar utility.
Then get back into Recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot again.

It says I need to have S-off in order to use the tool. But my Desire is S-on

Also when I have tried a few methods using an RUU most of them restart the bootloader before starting the update and upon doing so the device shuts off and won't restart. After sitting on a black screen on the device my PC will say "cannot connect to device, make sure the USB cable is connected and the device is turned on"

So you turn it off and it will get stuck in fastboot? Okay so you can't go to your homescreen or anything?

You can't select recovery from the fastboot menu by pushing up or down on the volume bar?
edit: maybe the battery is bad???
Or maybe a defective/stuck volume down button?
And you also said you since got it booting but then said you can't do anything but get into fastboot? Does that mean you didn't actually get it booting? And if you did get it booting at some point, how?
I got it to boot up with ruu but always says error 156 then phone will boot up. I was able to perm root with s off and flash clockwork mod. Then flashed the rooted deodexed ota. But if i turn phone off it goes straight into fastboot and cant choose anything. Buttons dont work. I do have adb.

i'm still confused here..
HOW did you get the rom flashed, CAN YOU BOOT TO RECOVERY?
I can get into clockwork mod recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
The buttons all work fine when phone is on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
but i thought you couldnt get the phone on....
okay so, everytime you do WHAT the phone boots into fastboot mode? everytime you reboot from recovery? every time you reboot from a rom? every time you pull out the battery and put it back in.
PLEASE BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE
When are the errors you are seeign showing up? are they in recovery/fastboot? can you flash roms from recovery? what happens when you reboot it from there etc....
When you turn the phone off, pull battery, or phone dies it wont turn on. If i use piwer button It goes into fastboot and no buttons will work. I get it to boot with either adb or when i plug in the charger i dobt press anything and clock work mod will come up and and let me reboot. It reboots fine uf i use reboot. I have cm6 installed on it now.

[Q] Possible Brick, any help appreciated

Hi
Another stupid noob has bricked his phone.
My situation. Whilst trying to unroot and restore to original state for warranty purposes (earpiece speaker has died)
I have a Desire Z that will boot either into hboot and clockwork recovery but wont boot past HTC screen when I install or restore a backup.
I presume this is because the wrong hboot, radio etc is now installed with S-ON.
I have been trying to do this but get stuck because I have no access to terminal
This
Anyone with some ideas?
Cheers in advance
UPDATE:
Now boots directly into Clockwork recovery but wont boot passed.
Can you tell us what your hboot says.

Did you use gfree method?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 Using XDA Premium App
Yes I used Gfree originally.
I am trying to flash a PC10IMG.zip via the bootloader but it no loner seems to want to see the file on my sdcard. It did before, which is how I got into this mess in the first place.
I am trying to flash the correct one back over which has a more recent Hboot, radio etc I think.

I wonder why... So it still not reading it? Also does ADB read your phone? I don't know if ADB would work though because you don't have the ent-hboot. It seems like even so you have S-on your still rooted since you can still go to clockwork?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 Using XDA Premium App
yeah thats whats getting me. I can use adb when booted into the recovery but I am struggling to get anything to work.
Any thoughts on how to proceed, if any?
well my only idea is to try to see if you can flash through ADB

Try looking for a DZ RUU that is specific to your carrier. If you can't find one, you could make a goldcard and install a WWE RUU (see if you're still super CID first).
Format your sdcard and try to unroot your phone again. )

thanks for the replies, got it back up running sort of, got a t-mobile rom installed but still need to flash the correct hboot, recovery and rom for that matter

Can't get into Recovery

I've readseveral threads over and over trying to find a solution to my problem. I was trying to flash a ROM and did the required data and cache wipe. After I downloaded the ROM The phone rebooted and now it stuck on HTC boot screen. I pulled the battery and press the volume down and power button to get into recovery. Once I get into recovery and it loads I get asked if I want to update RADIO_V2 and I can select yes or no. Well I tried both and no luck I can not get into recovery the option is not there. Here is my phone recovery info:

Any help please or am I Bricked?
You have the ENG HBOOT installed...that's a good thing. So, this will allow you to reflash the recovery image from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
You need to delete the update zip or pc10img. zip on your sd card. I think its not letting you go through recovery because its reading something in your sdcard.

[Q] Help! HTC Buzz: Wildfire -Revoulutionary- HBoot 6.01.1002

Hi,
I am a new to XDA Developers and I only registered because I have a problem with my HTC Wildfire (Buzz). I need to downgrade my hBoot so I can unlock the bootloader. I didn't know about the bootloader having to be unlocked so I used Revolutionary. I had hboot 1.01.1001 at the time and it was a successfull root. I tried to boot to Clockworkmod Recovery to install Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 when a HTC phone picture came up with a red triangle with a '!' inside it. The specs of the phone are as follows:
Android OS: 2.1 (Eclair) (I downgraded from 2.2.1 recently)

Why do you need to use HTCDev?? By doing that you void any chance of your warranty.
You need to flash a recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Assuming recovery is named recovery.img and it is placed in your fastboot folder.

I tried using ROM manager but as I said the picture comes up. What fastboot folder and recovery.img?

You need a fastboot folder and need to install the HBOOT drivers. See the first few steps of my rooting guide.

I got it now. I had to use the fastboot flash command with an older recovery image. I am now using Cyanogenmod 7.2.0. Thanks guys

Not easy when you have all stock, need to find latest ruu for your phone.
Also make sure drivers installed correctly and fastboot is set up right.
