[Q] HTC Desire Hard Brick - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I recently bricked my HTC Desire. I was trying to flash the stock ROM and the battery fell out of the phone mid-way and now i can't do anything. I can't access bootloader, and when i turn it on i see a dark-grey screen with HTC in the middle and 4 exclamation marks in the corners. Is there any way this to be fixed. Thank you in advanced!

Download the 2.3 RUU:
http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152
Install HTC Sync, and try flashing the RUU.

Yh like abaaaabbbb says flash the 2.3gb ruu. The 4 /!\ in the corners is pretty much the same as ruu mode so only thing u can do is flash an ruu

Try changing the USB port.
Did you have any phone related drivers installed on your PC before?

Weird. Might be the cable malfunctioning. You'll want to check that.

[Q] Big problem with Evo!

Okay so yesterday I accidentally downloaded an old RUU and attempted to run it. I got an error in the middle of it and my phone was then stuck on a silver and black HTC screen. When I unplugged the USB it would take me to the Bootloader where it would then only say "RUU". Phone won't reboot or go into recovery. And one more small problem... The battery just died and wont charge. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

can I use " Okay so yesterday I accidentally downloaded an old RUU and attempted to run it." in my sig???
btw what hboot did you have before and what version ruu did you try and install?
Yes lmao.
Version 2.10, downloaded new one but having trouble doing it since battery died and not sure the phone will actually connect.
charge the battery some and see if the phone turns on, see if it will boot into recovery/rom etc
Ok, will try to charge battery, but from what i've tried, could not get in to recovery or get the bootloader to come up.
if you can not get anything on the screen and the phone won't mount the sdcard and adb won't connect, be prepared for a drive to the sprint store

Sent via the Slayer of "ALL" phones the Evo 4g.
Hahahaha ^^^ Anyways new info did get the phone to get a charge. But now cannot get it to connect to computer.
I've actually came across this on the HTC Hero CDMA. i accidentally installed the wrong hero rom, cause at the time i was a noob to the android. an i tried to ruu but it failed. i kept doing all i could and playing with it. but where u ruu got half way through. and debug mode/recovery is reset by half way through.
only thing you can do is try to get into Hboot mode and try to see if u can connect to usb that way. then try to ruu

what does the phone do when you turn it on normal?

Just go's back to the "Silver and black HTC screen" and if I pull the USB (when in my computer) It will show me an option in the bootloader thats says RUU thats it. Can't do anything from there.

If you can get into the bootloader your going to be just fine. Use the fastboot option in the bootloader to get your phone to connect to your computer, I have done this numerous times to unroot! You might have to reboot your computer just to refresh the connection etc and also reboot the bootloader a few times from that fastboot menu before running the RUU on the computer.

Does not give me fastboot option. Like I said can't do anything from there.
So you can get into bootloader but it doesn't give you a fastboot option?

Okay, you have to get into the fastboot option and then run the RUU. Sorry I am having some trouble understanding because you are being a little vague. But to get into fastboot it has to be done before you run the RUU.

Don't worry about it. Anyways. I cannot get into bootloader at all unless I unplug the USB.

So maybe your SD card is mounted or is the RUU running on your computer as we speak?
Don't think RUU is running but should I try pulling the SD?

No you shouldnt need to pull the SD. But I would try rebooting your computer and maybe your phone and get into the bootloader without it connected to your computer. Then connect it and go into fastboot and try what i described earlier.

[Q] Charging but USB not recognized

I have been using my HTC Desire for a while and have flashed multiple ROMs in the past. Having got the new Galaxy Nexus, passing on the desire to the family.
On the procedure on the flashing RUU I started with flashing a Sense based ROM but my phone after the sense-based ROM phone does charge on USB but there no USB notification neither does the computer recognizes the device.
Again, on flashing CM7 or ICS, USB is detected and phone works fine.
Is there an explanation, please help.
Thanks

Hi,
Have you tried the pre-rooted stock froyo ROM from teppic74? Give that a try and see if it gives the same issue.
You seem aware of all the processes so I assume full wipes and correct hboots have been used etc.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
i am quite familiar...am sure the hboot is correct...i tired flashing stock rom to be met with an error, do downgrade my cwm and need the downgrade fow which am missing the downgrade update.zip
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

[Q] HTC ONE X Help!

Hi,I have a problem with my HTC ONE X, the problem is that when you do not want to be connected to a computer or a phone or computer is not responding at all, today updated the system to 4.1.1 and still nothing. Please help me. Thank you
my system version 4.1.1
software 3.16.110.4
Htc Sens 4+

Ok, so yes. When I want to connect my HTC to the computer, or phone, or computer is not responding. No notifications, signals etc. .. the only thing it shows that the phone is charging. I've tried to change the debug and still no reaction. I did the restore to factory settings, I changed the USB cables and still nothing.
What is the software of the computer ? Android 4.1 JB uses MTP data transfer, usb diskdrive is no longer available. Try to update the HTC drivers and HTC sync manager

Seems to me something went wrong along the update, if you did a factory reset and its still no good, you better go back to the store !
And it is now 100% stock ?

[Q] stuffed up my one x ...again

well this time i think its it. I bought a new phone so I tried to wipe my user data but some how my music and photos still stayed so I formatted the phone in the recovery menu. it made a backup by itself but that didnt work and my sd card is empty. The only way to fix it is the ruu(which i have), however , i cant connect my hone to my pc. It just wont show up, even in device manager, but it still charges. If my USB port is broken do you know where i can get a guide to fix it.
