Desire Bricked?? HELP

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?

Tried all sorts of different RUU but still no luck. IS there anything else I can check.

If you had never used Unrevoked before, you should be able to run an RUU from your computer (providing the RUU software detects your phone). If you had run unrevoked before, then you'd need to flash the Unrevoked S on tool in recovery, prior to running the RUU, which I have no clue how'd you do that without being able to see the screen. Is your screen smashed, or just not working?

If you need to flash s-on, you might be able to do it with a bit of luck. If you're on RA, place s-on on your SD card (make sure it's the only flashable zip on the sd card. With the phone off, hit power on and hold volume down to get to hboot. One click down, then click power for recovery. Wait a bit and then 3 clicks down for flash zip. One click down, then power for choose zip. One click up, then power twice to flash s-on zip. Wait a sec for it to flash, then press power to return. One click down, the power to toggle usb and plug into your comp.
Now you will know if what you did worked, cuz the sd card should show up. Then put the pc36img.zip for stock 3.70 on your sd card, eject and click power to toggle usb. One click up and power to power off. Then power one + volume down to get back to hboot. Wait a bit, then hit volume up to update. Hopefully, that will unroot you.
You will have no way of knowing though, lol.

My screen is just gone blackness. Is there any way of doing it through adb

Hardware or software fault?

Hi there, I am on holiday right now and having some trouble with my DHD. I have limited internet and can't find an awnser. Last night my phone rebooted while using the cam in whatsapp. It now boots in hboot and its stuck there. It doesn't respond to pressing any buttons. I managed to boot the device with Adb by usb using the Adb -d reboot command while connected to my laptop. It boots in save mode and only my volume down key doesn't respond.
Did some additional tests.
Booted in (clockwork) recovery (using Adb) and did the key test and it also didn't respond to the volume down key. (The vol down key feels like there is nothing wrong with it)
Booting with vol up key pressed the phone vibtates four times and then the green light lites. Screen stays off. Don't know if this is normal behavior.
Booting with vol down also gives unresponsive hboot screen.
Although it looks like there is something wrong with the DHDs internals I just wonder if there is a small change its software related and can be fixed. (At home I would just try, but that's to risky now because I need my phone and in save mode I can use al the basic stuf) Maybe some of you guys have similar experiences.
Thanks.

I think it's hardware, you can flash build 1.32. That should sort any software issue, then start over again.

Use adb to boot into recovery. Full wipe:flash new rom from zip.
not a backup.
This is a strange problem but if you cant boot without using adb you need to flash an ruu to re-write the boot img.

I remember reading such issue back in this forum and it turns out to be a stuck volume down contact. What the person did was that he kept pressing volume down until it started working again and these weird issues were gone (I think he also blow up some air where the rocker is iirc)
Try this and hope it helps.

Yes it seems like a stuck volume button. The volume button on this phone is the flimsiest thing I've ever set eyes on. Try what Naailalzuhir said above, that should fix it.

Been pressing all night. No luck yet

Can anyone test holding the volume down button (all the time) while turning on the device. Can you browse through the hboot menu with vol up? (still holding the vol down button)
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I've had this problem with the volume up button not working and sticking,
No Hboot or clockwork.
Answer was to remove the plastic cover which sits above the volume controls.
This will void your warranty but should work.
You will have to remove the black ribbon which goes to the volume control buttons.
That will solve the boot issue.
You will find that you can't use clockwork from boot anymore.
You will have install a program called 4EXT Recovery.
Put that in your SD card and use Rom Manager to install.
Works the same as clockwork mod but you use the power button and the home and return keys.
Good luck

[Q] EVO Cannot boot normally or into recovery

I am using a rooted EVO 4G gingerbread with clockworkmod
Current symptoms are as follows:
Boots into a blank screen (backlight is on, but nothing on the screen at all)
Vibrates once you turn it on, but nothing after that.
Stays there until I pull the battery.
Occasionally vibrates twice and a green light will start to blink above the screen.
Tapping power still toggles the screen and backlit buttons when in this state.
Throughout today it's gone through several different symptoms.
At first it was stuck on the quickboot screen doing nothing, but the buttons were completely unresponsive. It would sometimes also constantly vibrate. I took out the battery for awhile and it would just show the screen again when I put it back in and tried to boot.
When I got home later that day, it stopped doing that, but just would refuse to boot at all. It would sometimes show the white screen and just be stuck there unless i pulled the battery out. Now it's doing the symptoms I posted in the beginning.
Any ideas on what's going on and how to fix this?

Can you get into Hboot? If you can you can RUU and hopefully that will do something.

Thank you for the reply
No I cannot get into HBoot, it literally just boots up (whether or not I'm holding the volume down button or not) into the blank screen I described.

Turn off your device and then remove the battery AND the SD card. Wait about 30 seconds and then re-insert the card and battery. Now simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until the device starts. You *should* be taken to the HBOOT screen. If so, select 'recovery' from the menu and then go from there. I suggest a re-wipe and re-flash of your rom.
If you still cannot get to the HBOOT screen or recovery, download one of the RUUs from my signature, specifically one with an .exe extension and run it from within Windows while your device is connected to your PC via USB.

Still nothing. Thanks though.
I think I have to just return and get another phone... I haven't seen this error anywhere. I removed the microSD card for about a minute, put everything back in, still tried to boot in recovery (vol- and power) didn't work. I tried one of the RUU .exe and no good, when the phone was on, the program didn't recognize that my phone was there or something. Afterward, I tried the other RUU link where you have to drag files, coudln't see anything when I tried to boot in recovery still.
This is looking like i have to get a new phone

new symptom. Just vibrated 5 times. Longer than normal too.

HELP
Reioumu, what did you do?
i have this exact same problem and im freaking out. any suggestions?
same symptoms...with 5 vibrations and need for a battery pull.
EVO 4G
CYANOGEN MOD 7.1 RC
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-2.10.0001
I can get into hboot (by pressing vol-down + power)
I cannot get into recovery.
It splashes to the white htc evo screen, then flicker of the LED, 5 vibrates, and a black screen.
i was backuping my system using ROM MANAGER. When i turned on the phone, it couldnt detect the SD card. When i rebooted all the issues you described started to happen.
I'm at wit's end. I did a bunch of googling on the issue. "vibrate 5 times black screen evo" and there seems to be some sort of fix but i dont understand how to implement any of it. I got as far as installing the Android SDK but cant get fastboot to work. The issue seems to be with the USB port AND the SD card detection.
I was planning to just give up and give it to Sprint to fix but the rep said i need to unroot it before i send it to them. [email protected]#[email protected]#. I cant do that without recovery!

[Q] Bricked Dinc... Any Help?

So while trying to unroot my Droid Incredible, I managed to brick it. Basically, I used what was on theunlockr.com and it didn't work out. I did this process:
How To: Unroot the HTC Incredible | TheUnlockr
Basically, I downloaded the PB31IMG.zip file and placed it on the root of the SD. I then rebooted into HBOOT, ran the update, and rebooted. Now the phone won't turn on. I try going into HBOOT (volume down+power) and just regular boot and neither are working. After pulling the battery and replacing it, I press and hold the power key to have it do a quick vibrate one time, but still nothing happens with the screen.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you cant get into hboot, and you cant boot normaly, im sorry to say you have bricked your phone.

You could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825960.
Also try reformating your sdcard fat32, then put a stock PB31IMG.zip on the sd. Hold down power and vol down for 10 secs then release and wait for 10 mins then press vol up. After a couple secs the phone may then reboot, wait another 15 mins and press vol up again. Hopefully then it will restart and boot like normal. It basicly blind flashing an ruu, it may work if the phone is on and responding but you just cant see screen output.

which screen type do you have amoled or slcd? sounds like you might have flashed the wrong one.
anyways. try the ruu.exe method instead
http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-...mplest-instructions-ever-windows-xp-only.html
no need to see the screen if you let the pc do the work for you.

Thanks! I completely forgot about this posting. I'll have to give these methods a try.
