How do I enter command when in fastboot mode (Desire)?

Hello.
I'm pretty sure i bricked my HTC desire yesterday when trying to flash LeeDroids Mod. My phone hangs at the three green HTC letters and it has been like this the whole night. I've tried taking out the battery and things like that but it still hangs. Even when triyng to do a recovery. So i searched the forum to find out how to unbrick the phone and i found a nice thread that explains how to get acces to the SD again and then how to unbrick the USB connection. But I havent been able to try this out yet since i cannot find out how to enter commands when in fastboot. I know I need to be connected with a USB-cable to the PC, but what else do I have to do?
Hope someone can help 'cause I would really love to have my HTC Desire working again so that i can try out more cool FroYo mods from this lovely forum.

you have to use adb, google the android sdk and start there

All you need to do is boot into FASTBOOT, plug in your USB and run an RUU to get back to stock (assumg one is available for your phone) and then root again, had to do it myself the other day

you do not have to do ANY of this
if you are using clockworkmod or any custom recovery then there is the option to mount USB storage in which you can put on a backup or any other rom onto your sd card, unmount usb storage, and flash it, all in one.

How do I do that when my phone doesnt boot? As i wrote in the first post it is stock at the 3 green HTC letters. I was using clockworkmod to flash, but as I wrote i cannot boot into andoid atm.
@AndroHero: Can you please give me a link or something? I have tried a lot of things, but i doesnt seem to work, so I would like to be certain that the link and guide im using is right.

Do you have the fake-flash zip file renamed as update.zip and at the root of your SDCard?

Have you booted the phone while holding the volume down and then selecting recovery, then when recovery boots, press volume up and power then select "apply update.zip" ?

The problem is that when i choose recovery it freezes aswell. The screen with the phone and the little red triangle freezes, so i cannot choose recovery.

So do what I said here...to get into FASTBOOT hold back and power it on

What is RUU?
Edit: Maybe I need someone to make a step by step noob guide? Im totally lost. Ive flashed my Desire lots of times before and ive never had a single problem, but right now i really dont know what to do and how to do?

If you're asking questions about RUU's then maybe rooting wasn't for you. It's basic stuff. You need a grasp of the basics before trying something advanced!
Basically it's the official ROM file from HTC/your phone vendor...

Okay. Thanks. I thought that RUU was something like that but I just couldnt see how i should be able to acces any files right now. As i wrote before the phone freezes at the picture of a phone with the red triangle, and i am not able to get any further that that. I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me how and what to do next?

I had the same problem a few days ago. For me it worked to just go through the rooting process again, you can find the steps on modaco (just step 1 of r6), I can't link them at the moment I'm at work and it seems I can't open modaco from here.
Anyways if you follow step 1 you can access the recovery again and the phone will boot past the HTC logo screen.
Also these steps are well documented on modaco.
Try this first since it will save you the step of running the RUU, which I wasn't able to (somehow the software complained my battery was below 30%, which it wasn't)
Good luck hope this solves it for you.

You don't need to go into recovery! boot into FASTBOOT and then leave it at that. Plug the phone in and it will then say FASTBOOT USB. Then run the RUU your phone came with originally. You don't need to go anywhere near Recovery

I am pretty certain that ive found a solution now. I deserve a fist in the nuts for being so stupid not to press volume up + power when trying to get into recovery mode. But fortunately dnlgee asked if i had remembered this. Now that ive gotten this far i should be able to solve the rest. I will however return if im still unable to solve it.

Ah I missed that part, I couldn't access recovery either. Only thing left working was fastboot for me. All other options would hang on the HTC logo screen.

I super bricked my tab. Black nothingness...

First off, I only made a new thread because i couldn't find one with the same problem I am having....super bricked i think...
Trying to go from the unofficial CWM 9 back to ICS to go back to HoneyComb!
Anyways, did ICS update.zip through clockwork recovery. Now only boots to nothing. nothing at all! Just a black screen and the home key is lit.
So I have no ADB or Fastboot, but i do have nvflash working....but i can't seem to get it to do anything without losing its connectivity with the computer! so now what???
can anyone help?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Actually this guy had the same problem --->

I learned a hard lesson, I let my 8 year old use my tablet...he then handed it back to me and all it does now when you try to boot it up is come to a black screen that says:
Boot Verified Failed...
Trying to go into CWM, I get:
Recovery Verified Failed.
Any ideas? i was on Flex's newest rom RC.3.1.

Best bet is to follow the instructions on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439 and then flash recovery through that. Once youve done that install another rom direct from recovery and you should be fine
EDIT: Oh and welcome to XDA!!

OK try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644689 easiest thing is to make sure USB debugging is checked under settings, developer options. Also make sure HTC sync is uninstalled so only the drivers are left.

[Q] Recovery mode won't boot? Everything else works

Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I've been lurking around for a while, I hope I'm not messing up anywhere.
So, I have this problem with my Gio. Yesterday, I decided to try and install CyanogenMod 9. It is the first time I tried to install a rom on my phone, and I read everything carefully, to avoid doing anything stupid. I had rooted my phone before, it was rather easy, since I'm not a computer illeterate, although it is my first smartphone, and I was never into this kind of things.
Well, carrying on to my problem: So, I was reading Maclaw's thread on Cyanogenmod 9, and after reading it, I started following his tutorial.
I installed Clockworkmod v2 from recovery mode, everything went smoothly and I rebooted my phone. I then tried to install the Cyanogenmod 9, but I couldn't get back to the recovery mode for some reason. Everytime I tried to boot it, it would just boot the phone, and show the "Samsung" thing it shows up at the start, and stay there.
I tried googling around for people with this issue, but found nothing. I then tried to look for issues related to CWM, and found out that it requires my phone to be at least in 2.3.3, but mine is at the stock version 2.2.1... I had no knowledge of this before I tried it, and now I'm kinda stuck. My phone still works, I can do everything with it if I boot it normally, nothing seems to be broken, apart from recovery mode not loading.
Anyone else has had this or heard of someone having this?
Any idea on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hold power+home+ volume down
To enter download mode
Download odin and look for a tutorial, and flash the clockworkmod recovery, the one that is a .tar.md5 can be flashed via odin

I was just reading about that, and figured it was a good idea, thanks for confirming it to me
Will try it out and post later if it worked, thanks.
EDIT: It worked, thanks for the tip!
Also, if anyone is still reading this, I did the factory reset and all, is my phone still rooted or do I need to re-do it?

Soft keys flashing then to CWM 5.8.2 cannot install rom

I'm fairly a noob when it comes to rooting and whatnot, however i've learned quite a bit since i've started. I rooted nexus s with no hassel. My friend the other day gave me a LG Nitro HD, the phone boots shows the LG logo then goes to the Clockworkmod touch 5.8.2. I have tried installing roms on it, it will install the rom and run then when i try to reboot, the soft keys will flash for 2 mins before showing the LG logo and going back to the Clockworkmod again. Keep in mind there is nothing on the SD card besides the signed_HO!NO!_p930 i have tried other os's too. I don't know exactly what he did to his phone. Please help me out. Thanks a bunch guys :laugh:

I know I cannot get into download mode, Will be interested to see if Lugman can or not ... So unbricking is not an option at this point for me. Tried that yesterday also.
Lugman please post any progress sounds though we are in the same river of CWM... Why the HOX is so easy compared to this ....

Try charging it then do a battery pull then plug in the USB while holding the volume update. This should bring up a screen saying download mode. Then unbrick from there.

So I left it hoping I get the call that all is well in the AM.
Anyway GOOD LUCK ..
