Hi All
I have a second HTC Desire which does not boot. It goes into recovery and the volume keys do not work for me to navigate in recovery. I have tried rebooting and everything. Is there any way I can restore and get back into the phone? I think it has HBOOT 0.75.
Any ideas?
No, your Desire is not bricked.
Try a RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
What version do I download? Also, what is the process for doing a RUU
Thanks in advance
I tried loading the below and still no luck:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
Any ideas anyone?
Did the RUU apply correctly? Did you receive any error messages?
Or do you mean you still can't navigate in recovery?

RUU applied correctly, no errors. When I switch phone on, the phone boots into recovery and I cant navigate from there with volume buttons. Is it worth trying the latest RUU and would this effect my ability to root my phone later?
Anyone????
Is your down key stuck in?
The Desire should not boot straight into recovery, it goes to HBOOT first where you have to select recovery.
Remove the battery, put it back then tell us exactly what you press, and what the phone does in response.
I switched the phone off, took out battery and then put battery back in. Powered phone. The phone boots to a white screen whiich lists HBOOT number 0.75 and lists FASTBOOT, BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER & POWER DOWN. I cant navigate with he volume buttons so I cant progress at all.
I did the latest RUU last week and now I'm back on bootloader 0.80 and had no problem rooting it.
So this should not be the point
But I don't know if it can solve your problem.

Did you try with optical joystick? If it doesn't work, remove the back cover of your phone, and try to look at the volume controls if nothing blocks the contactors, or if you have a full body protector like Zagg's invisible shield, look if it doesn't stick the volume controlers, thus preventing them to make contact.
Volume buttons dont stick and I cant navigate with the optical track pad either. I think it may be a software rather than a hardware issue. Not sure what though?
Any other suggestions?

Hi guys,
first time poster but long time follower.
Last night i attempted to load the stock 3 UK rom onto my desire so that i could recieve the ota update today of froyo but now my screen is completly blank. It shows nothing at boot up and nothing when on the home screen. I know it's on because i can see the keypad light up when i press the power button. I can't boot it into recovery mode because i can't see the screen. Also i don't have a gold card neither so im pretty stuck. I believe it has something to do with different version of screens but i didn't see anything labelled on the rom to say which is for what screen. My desire has the AMOLED screen. Please can someone help i've tried allsorts but i need to get it fixed or i may try to return it at three but im guessing they'll know i've rooted it. Thanks in advance.

hold the volume key down and power button and hold till phone powers up. if your phone is rooted and has a custom recovery u can boot into that and flash rom.
I bet you have a slcd screen. Look for slcd brick fixed.

I can't because i can't see if it's gone into the recovery menu or not.
I had this problem too, you can fix it tho.
Start the phone as usual, install HTC Sync first, then connect it to your phone via USB.
Download the HTC Bravo stock rom from shipped-roms, and then just run the .exe file, it will reflash the stock android OS and your screen will be fixed.

I am having the same problem guys. i tried to unroot and reflash with a stock virgin mobile ruu... would i use the bravo rom too?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821656
as long as you can get to recovery (even if you can't see it), you should be able to fix it.
i fixed my phone fine when I tried to install a wrong amoled ruu and bricked my screen.
my solution in the thread above
Repaired
You try reflash your HTC Desire this ROM RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe. Me helped it.
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
Help Me Pleasee..
My Desire always stuck in safe mode
I've tried to downgrade n success but stuk in safe mode again
I've made gold card n PB99IMG success but always stuck in safe mode
I tried to root in a state of safe mode but fail... my htc desire stuck in splas screen..
What should I do with my hTC desire???
sorry if my english langue bad..
Search for the answer?
The first thing you should do is more searching... any possible fixes for your problem are out there somewhere on the internet or this forum.
As far as I can gather your phone is hung at the boot screen. You should be able to fix this from the sound of the problem:
Have you tried to reflash an RUU ? That might be your best option.
Also to get the existing ROM you have on it working try booting to recovery (hold power + volume down) and doing a factory reset (Clear Data)
Give more details for your software and hardware. And what you did before this issue appears.

Why don't you do a small research first in the world of Android?

unless you want to teach me about android ..hehehehhe
I met this issue, too
I recorded the behavior in this video:

The center button has something wrong as I must keep one finger pressing on it to let the system work as normal. The worst thing is that I'm in a foreign country and won't get back for several months...
Is there any way to disable the center button? I've rooted my phone but haven't tried to use custom rom.
I got a funny result...
After trying to use the program from unrevoked in ubuntu, the buggy button returned to normal... Hope it won't happen again...
I'll keep monitor it in the following days......
It's still happening...
I've sent a message to HTC and they asked me to reset the phone as it may caused by software. But it looked like a hardware issue...
@dexter93
Oh yes there is an safe mode!! On boot screen, htc logo, hold vol down till phone vibrates, then release and your desire is in safemode, without any of your installed apps!!

there is a safe mode, hold down menu key when you switch phone on and the phone will start up in safe mode. the phone will display safe mode in the left lower corner of the screen.
To get out of safe mode simply reboot your phone.... If that doesn't work I think your menu button is sticking - try booting while tapping menu a few times...
Btw, does anyone know what for is this safemode? I was googeling but did not find an answer

In safe mode, only some applications could be executed. You could remove some buggy apps in safe mode.
HTC had replied that I must send the phone back to Taiwan for checking, although they have local branch here in Japan. I'm considering to buy some tools and try to fix it by myself...... In this point, Apple does provide better service than HTC...from a sad HTC customer...
I've tried to open it (following the articles found in internet) and do some cleaning. It's still happening...XD
Oh yes
I Try To Hold tarackball+home+power button
I finally get out of safe mode
but menu button, volume, home,and search not working
because I can install applications and do not reduce my HTC desire performance
Sorry if my engglish langue is bad...
Well it is an Hardware issue. I plugged mine to debug and found that some keys are not responding.
Now the hardware keypad works in a very different way, it uses permutation and combination to figure out which key is pressed. Sometimes because of a faulty joint (due to moisture or anything), 2 or more keys may be dysfunctional.
In my case HTC Desire minus Volume, track ball & the track button keys was not working. I thought the fault was with the the volume key, but when I disconnected keyboard cable from main board and booted, my Volume keys worked just fine and it was not going to safe mode, perfect boot.
So there I knew the problem was with my keyboard. I tried cleaning it and unplugged tracker cable too but still it goes to safe mode. Finally I some how stumbled upon this idea of keeping my Volume plus and minus pressed together and boot. It worked.
Remember the combination would differ case to case, it depends upon what part is faulty.
+ & - Vol and Power till complete boot.

You save me, had exactly the same problem and saw your post and did the same thing and voila no safe mode. Thank you!!!
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.
alpharev.nl said:
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?
