Hi all,
I'll give a quick outline here then go into more detail below if you need it. i've tried things suggested in the other bricked htc threads but none seem to work.
I've basically follwed the root guide at droiden, made a gold card and rooted my htc desire phone which went ok. problem was i then installed the suggested rom in the tutorial which was for an amoled screen but i 've got an slcd screen (i'm thick).
The upshot is my htc desire will only start up sometimes and when it does just goes to a loading screen with a bright colourful x then switches off. holding volume down and power or back and power doesn't bring up the boot menu or fast boot. i've tried to flash from one of the ruu.exe files but it just keeps saying my phone has less than 30% charge (it doesn't) and quits the ruu. Is there any way to recover my phone via another method? I've got the coldcard used to root the phone.
Many thanks
Detailed description
i've basically followed the guide to root here at droiden
and installed the rom here de frost rom it suggests.
rooted fine then i flashed the rom (the de_frost one suggested in the tutorial) - got stuck on a colourful X screen and now won't turn on. it'll only turn on if i connect to a pc and open unrevoked but then it just boots to the colourful x screen until it goes off and then i'm back to the begining.
going off that other thread it sounds like i've used the amoled rom when i've not got an amoled screen.
to make matters worse i've followed these two steps here in other threads on here which suggested a new ota or ruu. ota wais a broken link and with ruu.exe i get an error saying my battery is below 30% (it's not) and so it won't go any further.
are there any other options available to me to restore my phone bearing in mind that volume down and power doesn't bring up the boot screen (just white htc screen then colourful X screen) so i can't even do a hard reset that way. Not bothered about wiping the phone's memory just want to get it back so i can start from scratch with the right rom. i have the gold card used to root the phone.
any help appreciated - thanks.

Needs to be a gold card if your phone is network branded
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ok i did it and it worked first time - it let me get to the boot screen but then after it rebooted it just won't switch on at all now.
any ideas?
Did you let it run till the phone booted?
Take the batt out for a min and pop back in and try. And also make sure you got a good charge
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
yeah it said it was rebooting but then never came back on. i'll give it a good charge and try again.
right it will now turn on everytime but won't go to the boot screen. Volume down power and back power just start it up and it sticks on the loading screen with the x for hours.
What radio have you got installed ? What network and version Rom did you have before ?

i'm not too sure. i bought the desire from ebay. it's an orange branded htc about 2/3 months old. i followed the root guide here (can't post full links as i'm a new member- just stick a www dot infront of)
droid-den.com/phone-guides/phone-guide-how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hboot-0-80
and install the radio & rom here
droid-den.com/phone-guides/phone-guide-how-to-install-rooted-android-2-2-on-your-htc-desire
if it would just go to the boot menu i'd even wipe the thing and start again!

ok for some reason after 24 hours of trying it will now let me go into the boot screen
for some reason i left the room and came back and it's working.
i've no idea what has happened.
it's completely debranded and rooted with a basic rom.
can someone advise me of a good stable rom which will work with a slcd screen?
many thanks
Best Rom I find is MIUI takes a bit to get used to but you will love it if you miss the clock just download fancy widget .. for the HTC clock and weather. just Google it and get the.apk
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
hmmm. can't download anything from the android marketplace. just says download unsuccessful.
for any who has the same problem - think it was a schoolboy error. when it sticks on the x screen the options must be in the background. press volume down then press power and it boots.
HELP!!
I bricked my phone after Flashing the Jdroid Exodized rom.
it end up with Bootloop/HTC logo.
My Fault is Before Flashing the rom, my Battery is 10%....
I've Done All the XDA Threads on how to Fix this.
-erasing cache from fastboot mode
-relocking the bootloader(its relocked now)
-Flashing RUU(i can't flash RUU becoz of my Low battery it needs 30%.)
My problem is, How can i Charge my Phone Up to 30%... And how would i know if it is Charging?
coz everytime i plug in my devices USB or Charge, the red light is going on and off,steady,sometimes its Gone...
Im confused.
Please help me T____T
Godbless
Once it gets to the HTC logo and freezes it should charge there.
Are you still able to get this far?
Have a read of this, see if anything helps.

Try flashing the RUU from Fastboot rather than HBOOT, worked for me.
You may need to put stock recovery on and then lock the bootloader first.
If you're using the latest CWM then turn the phone off and charge it

You have to unlock bootloader again by the looks of it.
why don't charge your phone, while it's off? You'll see a red light burning.. when it's green, it's 100%..
than try the RUU..

Boot into recovery, if it's 5.8.3.1 then it's the latest one so just charge the phone when turned off
Try not to panic!!! I went through something similar last week. It should charge there. Leave it be for 3 or 4 hours to charge.
I cant help that much as this is all new to me as well but Im sure some of the smart and nice people of these forums will guide you in the right direction. They certainly helped me out.

That was my thought exactly. Why don't you let it turn off / let the battery die and then charge?
Wouldn't that work?

Even my device is under 30% battery life?
Are you using the HTC charger as it requires 1 amp to charge properly. I found this out when I used my Nokia charger and the light flashed but when I used my HTC one the light stayed on and charged quicker.

So I got an S3 and am trying to wipe my HTC One X so I can sell it and when I did a factory wipe from the recovery I now can no longer boot into the device. It just sits at the "Android" screen after the HTC Logo. I was running the Android Revolution Rom prior to restoring the device. Whats the best way to resolve this hang up? I looked it up some but most stuck boots are on the HTC Logo and nothing past it.
I uploaded a shot of what im talking about. Any help would be appreciated.

Go.into hboot mode, and choose fastboot. And then, do 'fastboot oem lock'
Then download the corresponding RUU for your phone, and run it. It will be stock. But people can still know that you unlocked your bootloader. And download the CORRESPONDING RUU. THE WRONG ONE COYLD BRICK IT!

Alright then, be sure to hit the thanks button.
You unlocked bootloader, installed cwm, and flashed supersu.zip, correct? Everything went smoothly until then? And now your phone doesn't switch on?
Have you tried holding power, or holding power and volumedown?
Can you see a led when connecting to a charger?
How about windows device manager? Can you see anything there when plugging phone in? Plug in sound?

Wipe cache in recovery.
If that doesn't work you must've wiped your rom clean by accident.

Unloack your bootloaqder via htcdev.com after this flash Philz recovery 5.15.9 after this go in recovery charge your phone copy custom rom to sd card and flash it don't forget to flash boo.img via fastboot
What did you do to cause the phone to bootloop? Have you flashed something you shouldn't, or has the phone been dropped/come into contact with water?
It has been in contact with water. Very briefly tough....
I cant unlock the bootloader because the bootmenu doesnt stay open long. If i go into it, it restarts fast before i can do anything, and goes into bootloop again.

You've may have shorted the Power Flex Cable. The only way to fix this issue is to order another one, open the phone the replace it.
Keep in mind this would void your warranty, and replacing the cable is a delicate procedure. It can be done though.
thnx for the info, but where can i order this cable?

It isn't so difficult. The most difficult part is actually getting the phone open.
Post here when you receive the part and I'll be happy to help if you are struggling to work out what you need to do.
