It's either service, or installing a RUU.
Being a member for 5 minutes, I presume you don't know what a RUU is. A RUU is the stock software package that HTC uses on their phones. If you install one, you will have your phone as if it just came out of the factory (factory resetting doesn't actually do a factory reset, it just deletes your data).
You have to install the right RUU, or you will brick your phone (like literally, it will be like a brick, unusable). If you wanna play safe, download the 2.3 RUU from my sig. It works for every Desire model, and it's noob friendly.
If you still want Froyo, then you'll have to search for the matching RUU here:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
And you will require a goldcard.
Or you could forget flashing a RUU, root your phone, and install a custom rom.

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
Uhm, long story short My Evo crapped out on me with the endless booting. Now before I get trolled. Yes, I have research this issue for several days now yielding little to no results. I went from only seeing a black screen to the constant reboot after the "drag to unlock screen". The phone has a mind of its own only working when ever it wants to. But after a reboot or a battery pull the cycle begins again until it decides that it wants to run again. So the cards are on the table, I'm up for any suggestions, tips and so what you want to throw at me.
What I've done:
flashing the RUU as a .exe as well as .zip file
OTA Update (gave me the black screen)
Thanks, Don
boot into recovery and wipe all the data then install the rom again?
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I was NOT rooted. But, I tried that through the stock recovery (holding volume down+ power through the recovery screen) ANd nothing. Same results.This phone will not defeat me!!
I don't know if this would help. I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302172
You could download the PC36IMG zip and use the bootloader to restore the phone.
If you are not on Sprint, you could do a search for a stock unrooted ROM for your carrier.
Ok if your not a rooted user, which as you say your not, hold your volume button down and power button (after you remove your battery and put it back in), then let go when your screen turns on. You should be at a recovery, find factory reset. All this will do is put your phone back to factory defaults. All your contacts are automatically on your gmail, and will sync to your phone as soon as you sign in with it after your factory reset

Tried this too. I ended up rooting it yesterday using the revolutionary method, hoping that flashing a custom rom could possibly fix the corrupted file or w.e could be causing this, but nothing. This is ridiculous, is it possible that it could be a hardware defect?? If I ever get it booted again, ill post the hardware specs.
Thanks once again,Don.
Update:
currently I managed to get Myn's twopointtwo ROM functioning properly for the time being at least.
Software:
android 2.2
baseband 2.15.00.05.02
kernel 2.6.32.17
hardware 003
Ok, I have been given 4 HTC wildfires from a company that has gone into administration.
The issue I have is that all four have a numeric password lock and they have all had attempts made to access them which has resulted in them being completley locked.
My plan was to root all 4 and sell them on, but I am now stuck.
Can't root using reflash as I can't set to USB debugging and when I try to boot into recovery I get the below screen.

HBOOT Version is 0.80.0007 if that makes any difference??
1. This is HTC Wildfire S Forum
2. Go into HBOOT (Remove battery, wait 1 min, insert battery, press power and vol-)
3. Do a factory reset
If that does not solve your issue:
go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader.
then flash the complete phone new
The issue I have is that the phones are locked so I have no way of changing settings to allow USB debugging - I need a way to get around this issue - Then I'm sure either the HTC dev fix or another fix will work.
Pulling the battery makes no difference.
Admins - Can this be moved to the correct forum please??
This is my device wrong forum bud, but you may be in luck. Are all of the phones on the 0.80 bootloader ? If they are go into bootloader like theq86 said, download the hboot. 1.01.0001 ruu from the HTC wildfire (buzz) forums for running revolutionary. Run the ruu in hboot mode and it should force the update then run the revolutionary program to s-off. Then install clockwork mod and root

This should have all you need
sent from my android powered beast!
For going into the bootloader you need no usb debugging.
you can just go inside and chose factory reset.
For htcdev you also need no USB Debugging. Everything is made via the bootloader.
the password lock of android does not lock the bootloader.
Edit: For going into bootloader
Remove battery, wait 1 min, insert battery, press Vol- (Vol down) HOLD it and then press power button.

If he is going to ruu he is definitely better of going for revolutionary keeps the warrantys, allowing his bootloaders are all below hboot 1.01.001, if not he may have issues ...
Also a q to the op, how did you check the hboot without being in the bootloader? ?? Because with the lock on you can't access the rom?
sent from my android powered beast!
OK.....
The bootloader is not locked!! I have never said it is. Some one has made over 30 attempts on the lock screen!!
When I boot by holding down power and volume it tells me that HBOOT v is 0.80.0007. I have no option on this menu to do a factory reset, but if I select, recovery, I get the screen in the 1st pic.
I can not use the HTC dev tool as when I run the RUU it tells me the phone software is out of date and I need to perform an OTA update.
Unrevoked will not see my phone even though it's connected and the Android platform drivers are installed in device manager
Revolutionary will not work as my bootloader is out of date, and I'm struggling to upgrade it as I can't switch USB debugging on (Although I'm not sure I need to)
Thanks both for your help so far....anything else and I'm listening.
That leaves you with a few things
1)Trying using HTC Supertool......connect your phone via fastboot in the bootloader
2)Try using JTAG(wont recommend if you dont know what it is)
3)Try updating your rom by taking out "rom.zip" from the RUU and flashing this "rom.zip" via HBOOT

ok download this and place this zip file on the root of your sdcard. then boot into bootloader, it should ask you to push volume up to update. do that and you should be on hboot 1.01.001 and ready for revolutionary. repeat this for all 4 phones. then come back, hit the thanks button and tell us how good we are

If you have nothing constructive to offer, keep your comments to yourself.
These are from a company that went into administration and have been sat in the office desk for a month. I was asked to help uninstall the office servers and networks.
The administrator let me have the phones in Lieu of payment - so they were not exactly free, but will cost me £20 when I get my payment back.
When you go into recovery you get the phone with a red triangle, right? Press vol up +power to see the options. One of them should be wipe data/factory reset

Here is the screen I get when I'm in the bootloader:

NO option to install from SD or perform an update and recovery just takes me to the screen in my first post.
I need to find a way to enable USB debugging by way of a command or create a goldcard??
Any more ideas??

My little sister's G2 has been stuck at the hboot screen every time the phone boots. Her phone is completely stock, with the most recent (that I know of) update, the one in PC10IMG.zip. She didn't do anything to damage it at all, it just started booting like this out of the blue.
When at the hboot screen, no buttons work at all, the only way to get out of it is to do a battery pull. I even tried using ADB but it wouldn't detect the phone.
Any suggestions?
first thing i would try is to somehow wipe the phone... push power & volume down to enter bootloader; choose recovery (a red triangle or something like that should appear) then push power & volume up (the recovery menu should appear); then wipe everything...
if this doesn´t work post here again
EDIT: sry, just recognized that i didn´t read your post carefull enough... if your buttons do not work, you probably have to flash a RUU

i booted it with vol down+power, then i pushed vol up+power and it started searching for zips. I had pc10img on it and it found and tried to update with it, but it gave "main version is older! update fail! press power to reboot." and rebooting again brought me to the bootloader.
edit: i don't have any experience with ruu files, so if that's what i need to do, can you tell me how?
Search for a RUU which is similiar or higher than your actual version, download it and put it on your pc... on your phone push power & trakepad to enter fastboot mode, connect your phone with pc and start the .exe on your pc...
Before you do this remove the pc10img.zip from your sdcard and try what i posted before again...

i tried doing this, but it failed, saying that my phone model wasn't right or something like that. but it did make the phone boot into the rom! and it appears to have all of its data still, hopefully everything works now.
rebooting will make the phone enter fastboot still. none of the ruu files i've tried work. is there a link to one that will work? i haven't found any.
ok, before you do the ruu thing, try to do a factory reset (either in the booted rom or through recovery)
here some links:

i used the pc10img you linked me to. gives me: "main version is older! update fail!"
i tried the ruu files you linked me to and those failed as well. they kept telling me my phone image was wrong or something like that.

I did some thinking and thought that getting it to boot by trying and failing to use an RUU, downgrading it, rooting it there, and then flashing another rom would solve my problems.
I managed to get to downgrading and rooting the phone, but after apparently flashing cwm through rom manager, I turned off the phone and tried to boot into recovery by vol down + power. Those are the buttons I use to boot my g2x into recovery, and through searching I didn't find any other combos for the g2.
That didn't work. I got sent to fastboot again, and no buttons work. I then tried RUU again, and this time it worked, booted. I turned it off and back on to see if it would actually load the rom this time. Alas, fastboot screen again. Still no working buttons.
I tried the PC10IMG.zip again. It flashed, but when it says <Press power to reboot> and I press power, I get sent to fastboot.
I pretty much consider this phone a lost cause, but if anyone has a suggestion that might help, please tell!
I can only tell you that I have same problem, just happened to me y/d and I am stuck on white HTC logo not having adb access and can not flash any stock rom for signature errors. not sure how to continue. thread is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614042, good luck for both to solve it

Ah no worries, the bootloader can be seen as the BIOS from a pc. When the phone is full stock nothing really bad can happen except for a unwanted factory reset. usually you get into this bootloader menu via a longpressed button method so maybe you held some buttons for some time, or it happened inside your pocket or something.
Usually we enter the bootloader and go to the custom recovery from there when its flashed. It's also the menu where we put the phone in to flash stuff to it as a custom recovery or a firmware.
