Hmm. Any time I ever see anyone reporting what you're describing, I've never seen a solution. What I would try though, is to unroot it, by turning S back to On, and then running an RUU. See if it will run stable while on a stock ROM. If so, try rooting again. If it is still doing the same thing after running RUU, with S on, I would take it Sprint. The phone is still under warranty, and if it turns out to be hardware related, you should be able to have Sprint do something for you.
RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu
I also attatched the Unrevoked S on tool. Flash the Unrevoked S on tool in recovery. Confirm that S is on. (what bootloader are you on? If its the Eng .76 bootloader, you don't need the S on tool, in which case you'd just run the RUU). Once S is on, run the RUU, to flash you back to stock. You want to run the RUU that matches your bootloader version, software version, and radio versions the closest. That will take you back to stock, and then you can see how the phone performs.
And it kind of sounds like the phone may have had some issues before. It was obviously rooted, since it was already S off when you purchased it. Who knows what type of issues it had prior to you obtaining it..
Thanks so much!!!

I don't suspect that changing the kernel will have any affect on your situation. Sometimes a kernel can cause the phone to reboot, but your phone isn't just rebooting. I believe that the 5 vibrates, followed by a black screen and a blinking led, means that the phone is pushing itself into diagnositc mode, for whatever reason. I am not sure what causes this. The only way to get out is to pull the battery out, and i believe you need to eithe be sure you're usb cable is unplugged (or is it be sure that it's plugged in..... I don't recall) Then reboot. Sorry I don't remember the exact specifics, as I've never had to do it, but I've seen it mentioned around here. If you search xHausx's posts, I know he has given instructions on how to attempt recovering from that situation a few times, but I don't usually see it successful, and people end up attempting to run an RUU, if you can keep the phone on long enough. If you do resort to running the RUU, I'd try running it from fastboot mode, which you select from the bootloader.
thanks again

You said you can still get to the OS for a limited amount of time right? See if you can get to menu>settings>about phone>software information. Get all the info there, (PRI, Baseband/radio, Software version (3.70? 3.30?, etc) Just record everything on that page down. Then boot to your bootloader. What's the hboot version? (2.02, 2.10, .97, .93, .76, etc etc.) Report back with that info. Most likely though, you'll need to run the most recent one (first on the page in that thread I sent you, which is 3.70 software)

Yup. That's all. Your software and radios are the latest, but your hboot isn't. I would try the newest 3.70 RUU first. If that gives you any trouble, try the 3.30 RUU, or even 3.29. Its just because your hboot is older that I'm not a hundred percent sure.

Either one you want. They are two separate methods of running the RUU. If you download the actual RUU, it's a .exe that runs from your computer, while the phone is plugged in Via USB. You need HTC Sync installed to run the RUU.
PC36IMG, is a file that you put on your sd card, and then boot to your bootloader. If the PC36IMG is on the main directory of your sd card, and it's named exactly PC36IMG, then when you boot to the bootloader, it will prompt you to update after a few seconds. Just wait for it to ask, then select volume up to say yes. That will then run the 'ruu' from your phone. Either method will acheive the exact same results. Personally, I think it's easier to use the PC36IMG, but they are both easy to do.

cool, sounds good. And just don't forget to turn it back to S on, by flashing the unrevoked s on tool, before you run the RUU(or PC36IMG). Good luck with it!

No, just leave it as is, unzipped. Boot into the bootloader, let it scan, then apply the update and reboot, you'll be all set.

And just to be more clear, you only need to run the Unrevoked S on tool if you have any point used Unrevoked-Forever. If you are on the .76 Eng Bootloader, you don't need to run it, in which case you'd just skip right to running the RUU.
Edit: And as teh roxx said, leave the PC36IMG zipped, and on the main directory of your sd card. Named exactly PC36IMG.

When the phone coming on with the arrows comes on, you need to let that finish. That's a part of the process of running the ruu/PC36IMG. When it comes to that screen, let it sit there for a bit (could be a few minutes), and don't pull the battery unless you're positive that it's stuck there.
Also, which RUU are you trying? I forget which one you went with. Perhaps try a different one as well. You may be having trouble due to the wrong RUU. Did you try downloading a different one yet?
Also, remember that there was something wrong with you're phone to begin with. It is entirely possible that there is some sort of hardware problem with it, since it was giving you the black screen with the blinking led before. The important thing here is that you got S on. That way you can at least take it in to Sprint, and not have to worry. Just be sure that if you take it in, to take your SD card out before taking it in, so they don't see any root related stuff on the card.
I just rooted my HTC Desire and installed CM7 on it (loved it on my HTC Legend). But suddenly today, after I turned Wifi on, it started rebooting all the time, couldn't do anything to stop it. I thought "Hey, there was the radio flash thing in the tutorial that I didn't do yet, I'll try that out" so I flashed the radio. Then I chose reboot system, but it just booted to a logo with an android coming out of a trash can, and looked kinda stuck there. So I took out the battery and plugged back in. Now if I try to turn it on, it'll just vibrate 7 times - no picture or anything. Also there's no LED when I plug it to the charger.
I had those 7 vibrates too.
Happened after i flashed the cm7 hboot over my stock hboot while trying to enter recovery. After i re-flashed my recovery using fastboot, everything worked again. What happens if you try to power up while holding down vol- ? Did you use fastboot or your phones recovery mode to install the radio?
I am not able to start in recovery or anything. I tried vol. down + power and back + power and no matter what I try, it just vibrates 7 times. I used the recovery mode to install the radio.
You could try to connect your phone via usb and check if fastboot discovers your device. If yes, flash hboot and recovery using fastboot. If not, well... i dont have a clue. Sorry :/
Computer discovers nothing when I plug in the phone.
Bad news when u pulled battery u interrupt the process n u now have a bricked device I would b very surprised if u managed to do anything
Pulling battery when doin a radio update is a BIG NO NO I'm sorry but ur stuck with a 400+ mirror now

For the record to help some of you out who ended up here Googling: I had a similar issue. My HTC Desire SV did not boot, and when charging, only had an orange flashing light, and the phone vibrated 7 times. I did 2 things that got it back up:
1) left the phone off for say 10 minutes (I read about overheating issues in general, although the phone did not feel hot).
2) removed the battery for a couple of minutes.
VERY IMPORTANT: for step 2: make sure to have the battery removed long enough to drain internal charge. I removed and installed the battery in a second or so at first, and still the phone did not boot. After leaving out the battery long enough, it booted again. It appears to me that the issue in my case was a rather big internal charge capacity which kept internal state (memory and/or CPU?) from booting. Hope this helps...
Hey guy's, well first off I just want to say I'm a big fan of android and especially xda-developers and all the helpful people on this site. I'm having a pretty big issue, one that I searched for a solution for 2 days now using the search function on here as well as google and many others available and I'm in a corner. I have an EVO 4G I bought from someone off craigslist and everything was fine for 3 weeks then 3 days ago the phone died and i plugged it in with no led light showing the charging status. I thought perhaps it was a bad battery so I bought another battery and with the little life the new battery has it turned on and got stuck on the HTC EVO 4G splash screen.
So I pulled the battery out and re-installed and booted into the bootloader menu only to find out more bad news. When I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader menu it goes to the HTC EVO 4G splash screen and stays there forever. I have tried to clear storage, in which it clears and says everything is ok reboots into the HTC EVO 4G splash screen and gets stuck again, So I'm really concerned now and I cant find a solution anywhere I've tried several different methods to flash amon RA recovery, I downloaded the zip file and changed the name accordingly so the bootloader menu would automatically recognize it and it said installed successfully but still to no avail, and I do not believe I am able to manually flash another recovery method because I cannot get into usb debuggine mode from the phone so I'm not sure how adb would even begin to recognise the phone.......... someone for love of all things fancy please help me!!!! I'm struggling!!! lol
Also this is what appears on my bootloader menu:
supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.02.0000
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

If you have a card reader,you should be able to download a Rom,put it in the root of your sd card,rename it pc36img.zip,put it back in your phone and flash it through the bootloader.

I have already attempted this method twice but I'll give it another shot
Try running RUU update. Download here:
OTA 3.70
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=86NCAM22
Link grabbed from PPCGEEKS user KarlE
this will revert you back to android 2.2, but this should fix your problem.

downloaded the file and executed it in windows and it reboots the phone from bootloader to bootloader again but phone never comes back on...
Do this, in this order...
Charge battery to full (since there's no way for you to tell how much charge there is you might as well be sure it's full...)
Boot to Bootloader
Select FASTBOOT with volume up/down
Press Power button to go into FASTBOOT
Plug phone in to PC
Run RUU.

Hey I tried this method and all was well for the most part and then the executable ruu said that it could not continue because my battery was less than 30% and my phone won't charge for some strange...

The phone doesn't charge in bootloader, turn the phone off and leave it on the charger when it's OFF until the light goes green, then start over.

Then it's possibly a bad battery or simply a brick now, because if you can't charge it normally, doing anything to get it working again is futile... If you have another battery try that, or if you can take it to a shop and try one of their batteries in it... That's all I can think of doing...

Well I don't think its a complete brick just yet the usb port can't be bad if fastboot reads the pc when connected and vice versa, however I went to frys and bought a universal battery charger and am charging the battery to full right now. I'll let you know something soon thanks for all your help so far.
Ok so I let the battery charge, re-installed and ran the RUU executable file it flashed and installed successfully but is at the same place still gets stuck on htc evo 4g screen
What Rom and kernel were you on when you discovered it at white screen.
Also, did you just find it at the splash screen? or did it random reboot or just not boot?

Stock as far as I know and the phone died and when i went to recharge it and discovered the white splash screen
Ok I'm really stuck nothing is working for me the RUU ran and flashed properly just to get back stuck at the htc evo 4g screen again I was reading somewhere else that it needs to read S-ON on bootloader to flash the OTA RUU is this correct? and if so how can I change it with unrevoked if I cant get adb to recognize the device?
hi all i have a problem and i can't solve it alone.
this is the situation: Desire (orange CID: ORANG001)
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.02.0001
i only can go in hboot and fastboot
no recovery (every time i go into recovery the mobile vibrate 7 times. Same if i try to flash a new recovery)
and the worst is that i don't have the possibility to create the goldcard. i'm out of my country and i don't have anothe orange mobile.

Check the 2.3 RUU in my sig. Put it on your sd-card, boot into bootloader, flash it, then use revolutionary to s-off.

Try vol_down+power combination or backkey+power...In case of a faulty button...
If not try to put the phone in fridge for 20 mins as this helps with the chipsets and then power it on.

i'm sure it will not work because after 30 mins attached to the power supply the mobile is cold... no signs of charging
Are you sure the phone is closed?Unplug the battery and plug it in and dont press any key...just plug your phone to the charger.if not again im afraid your phone is bricked...
and there is a difference between fridge and just leave it..Put it in the fridger.Low temperatures sometimes makes some chips to work and with this way we may open it.

Were you on stock hboot when you flashed the ruu? Did you pull out the battery too fast? It couldn't have just bricked itself...
He mentioned that he was in stock hboot..Maybe this is a mb problem in memory,problem in battery or dont know.....
Hello guys and girls (maybe ? :laugh: )
Ok so i'm sorry to bother you but i tried everything by myself, googling, searched the forum, followed the master Troubleshooting guide here but none of it worked (I'm not a noob with rooting installing roms and everything coz I had an Acer Liquid MT, an HTC Wildfire, and an HD2 on android).
Let me explain. A friend as retrieved an HTC Desire where is father works. But the problem is that this poor Desire appears to be bricked (he thinks that the battery has been pulled out during update), so he asked me to get it back for daily use.
So when powering up the phone, i have the basic htc screen with the /!\ in all the corners. The when i plug in the Desire to my pc and then unplug it, i have a white screen that looks to be the hboot menu, but broken as i can't do anything with it.
When plugged, in my pc, the Desire seems to be recognized coz Windows notifies me with the normal plug in tone and i can see the phone in the device management window. Installing the WWE RUU as recommanded in the Master thread doesn't work, it says that there was an error tried to connect the phone through USB (not connected). I'll end that saying all the key combos doesn't work, i can just boot as normal (the key combos boots the phone as normal, bringing me to the /!\ screen.
Before anyone is asking me, I correctly installed HTC sync with av on and then reinstalled with av off, tried fastboot and didn't see the device (but i may did something wrong as i cannot see my HD2 on android too)
All the informations about the phone i can provide are :
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.02.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.02.27
Jul 22 2011,16:19:16 ( maybe not useful but who knows ^^ )
For illustrating what i mean, see the pics attached below for the /!\ screen, the broken hboot, and the Device manager window.

Girl? Is that a new pokemon?
Anyhow, in my sig you will find the 2.3 ruu as a PB99IMG.zip. Download that, put it on your sd-card, then enter hboot, and flash it. It should fix it.

The problem is that the key combo for hboot (Vol - + Power if i'm not wrong ?) Brings me to the /!\ screen. I tried this method with an old RUU including a froyo rom. My only way to go to what it seems to be the hboot menu is to power on, plug and unplug. But can't do anything while there.
But maybe the vol - doesn't work but i have no information about this.
Anyway thanks for the quick reply
Like said, put the PB99IMG on ur sdcard then with phone off press and hold the back button + power then in fastboot, select bootloader and press power button.

Back + Power just ends with the /!\ screen and a continuous vibration. I'm forced to pull out the battery to stop it.
EDIT: Tried another time, i just had the /!\ screen but no vibration this time.

The second picture (white one) is what happens when i unplug it. When i plug the phone the /!\ screen stays and the phone seems to be recognized by the computeur as i see it in the device manager.
EDIT: The RUU screen comes when i unplug the phone. And when i plug the phone back, the /!\ screen comes back

I unplugged, to stop vibration, progress was still at 0% after near 20 mins or more. I stopped, letting the phone cooling down. The following will seem incredible but i put it in the freezer and waited like 5mins. And now i just started back the update process and the phone doesn't vibrate for now and the total progress state is a 27%.
EDIT : after 3-4 mins stucked at 27% the phone restarted vibrating.

Yeah i think so. But if i'm able to complete the ruu installation, the phone may be overheat again in daily use ?

Ok,so i finaly managed ton completely install the RUU. I waited 40min with the phone in the freezer, and completed the installation with the computer right next to the freezer, the phone in it. And now, the phone bootloop stuck at the HTC logo with white screen after 1st vibration, and then vibrate 7 times before shutting down itself and restarting again.
EDIT: This problem seems much easier to fix now (except the fact that the phone can overheat). As i have a normal access to hboot now i'll try to install a custom recovery tomorrow (need to sleep now ><).
Anyway thank you for your precious help jmcclue
Ur phone needs to be atleast rooted to install recovery but im affraid recovery wont help at all if its hardware failure. Did ur friend buy the phone new? If so he mite still have warranty on it. (going by the date in that pic) its a job for HTC to replace the motherboard.

And for funny purpose, rooting the phone requires that it correctly boots in Android right ? Grrrr . I have another Desire, but can't get it to boot, seems that it has been taken apart and remounted with feets. If i could take it's motherboard to try. But haven't got tools for that.
