after i pushed it to my desire i rebooted it and everything seemed to be ok. device loaded but when came the screen to unlock it had some google errors and restarted to load screen and booted again to lock screen and so on and so on.
so i decided to wipe all data and reinstall "Official" Froyo HTC Sense ROM 1.0c. so i did it. everything seemed to be ok, i restarted my device, it started o load, loaded to boot screen, but thats all.
so i tryed to reinstal the same rom and radio :/ when i tryed to install radio device just shuted down.
after that my desire dount even loud up to boot screen, it only turns on to white screen with HTC letters on it, and restarts.
when i turn it with volume down it turns on to recovery. when i pick up recovery and pres power button to select it it turns to that screen with red !, but when i try to turn on recovery menu from my pc with recovery-windows.bat nothing happens :/
so thats my big problem, maybe anyone could help me with it? :/
i mannaged to turn my desire back on. now it runs on android 2.1-update1 rom.
but now there is no network connection, no sd card connection and no usb connection. anny sollutions?
and one more thing. :/ i cant turn off my desire. when i turn it off, phone turns back on again :/ when conncted to usb.
Sounds like an usb brick ...
Have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639

i installed clockword mod update radio but smth went wrong, now i can not turn it on, nothing happens non reactive, no led, no charging no into hboot, how to repair it ?
AFAIK, if a wildfire cannot enter into hboot mode or cannot display the splash screen on powering on, I think we cannot repair it.
Try to recollect what happened during radio installation.
Flashing radio is really a critical part. That shouldn't be interrupted.

I dlashed radio, and there was showing robot and above him open box with arrow, then later nothing - everythings dissapear and now phone is completely non reactive.
if a wildfire cannot enter into hboot find someone with JTAG device in your area, jtag can repair boot in wildfire
Hi,
A friend gave me a broken Desire. It wouldn't turn on at all. I have a Desire myself so tried my battery, still nothing. I also tried his battery in mine and it works perfect, so I don't think its a battery issue.
I put the Desire into the freezer for 15 minutes and it turned on fine. Booted up, I was able to USB tether it and put a ROM zip file on the SD card. I then tried to do a "adb devices" and it rebooted to the "quietly brilliant" logo and made the boot sound.
It then vibrated 7 times and turned off.
Now It won't turn on again.
I've pulled the battery about 5 times and its still not doing anything. No light comes on when I put it on charge.
The phone is well past warranty at this stage. I'm not sure but I think its either a PVT-3 or PVT-4.
If I put it in the freezer again, and flash a new ROM, is there any way it can be usable again, or is the only option to buy a new motherboard off eBay? OR sell the phone for parts?
Thanks.
Try to run a RUU. Search in index thread in development section.

Several vibrations at boot indicate to a hardware issue. AFAIK it was something to do with the CPU.
The Desire has a mainboard in 2 parts. The upper and lower board. You could just try to buy the one with the CPU (forgot which one that was, do some digging) and connect it to your phone, and I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.
OK thanks for the suggestion.

I will just try the first one in the list tonight.
Don't try the first from the list, download 2.3 RUU from htcdev site, you have the instruction in my signature.
thanks,
I tried the download link in your sig, but it said it could not connect to the phone. I think it said USB Connection Error.
Do I need to have a SIM/SD card in it? I just booted it up to the initial welcome screen without the SIM. Does this matter?
PS, its S-ON.
Bravo pvt-3 S-ON
hboot 93.0001

Another thing i just noticed there.
It was running fine until I did an "adb devices". Then it rebooted and died again, just after I pulled it out of the freezer.
Is it possible I'm getting all this trouble because of a USB brick?
Your device is pvt3 so it's not likely that you have a motherboard overheating issue.
My question is do you have htc sync installed, cause ruu requires it, or at least fastboot and bootloader drivers?

I have the android SDK installed, so I was using "adb devices" and fastboot from "program files/android/android-sdk/platform-tools".
Do I need the other drivers from HTC Sync? Or will the Android SDK ones do?
Use htc sync drivers, they perfectly do the job.

OK I'll install them now and try it.
BTW, I installed a custom ROM on the phone and its still behaving the same way. Will a RUU make any difference to just reflashing a ROM?
The HTC Sync drivers detected the phone and it then rebooted to some black HTC update screen.
It then started to update, but then vibrated 7 times. The progress bar moved on a slight bit after that but now its stuck on 26%.
Also, on the phone, where the progress bar is, at the end of it, theres a little white triangle with a white exclamation point inside it...
I'm curious should I pull the battery or what?
Wait for some more time, but now I'm definitely sure that you have a HW issue.
Try again with freezer.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders
Well I tried with the freezer again.
This time it managed to go to 100%. The RUU said it was successful and that my phone was now ready for use.
It then rebooted to the white HTC screen, and then vibrated 7 times.
I held volume down and power and it booted into the menu, and I saw the HBOOT is now gone from the 0.93.0001 to some 1.00 version, so the phone was definitely updated anyway.
Its back in the freezer again now. lol
After freezer it will probably boot, and then die again after some time.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders
Thats my guess too.
I am just turning it on now.
Once it boots, is there any apps I can install that can test the hardware for faults, so I can finally know for sure what the problem is?
Don't know for app like that.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders
Well, it booted anyway. Went about half way through the setup wizard, as far as the "Connect to wifi" part, then it rebooted to the white screen, where it vibrated 7 times.
Whats odd this time is that it rebooted after the 7 vibrations, and then booted again to the white screen and vibrated again 7 times. It rebooted like this 3 or 4 times, and now its off again.
I pulled the battery, and turned it on again and now its doing the same. Vibrating 7 times, rebooting, vibrating 7 times, rebooting etc. This time its in a loop and has rebooted 9 times so far, and counting. Each time vibrating 7 times and rebooting...
There should be no doubt that it's hardware issues(and as the freezer works, it is likely some overheating of sorts). Either throw it out or buy a cheap ass desire with a broken screen second hand and replace whatever is broken om the new device with what you have from you friend.
Also stop freezing it, it will likely cause water dammage inside at some point.
Hello,
I got a 'little' problem, I think that my HTC Desire HD is bricked.
And I dont know how, because when I woke up this morning, I tryed to boot my Phone and it just didn't.
I've noticed that my orange led was blinking, so I removed and reinsert the battery, so i could start up my phone again. That worked fine,
but when it reached the white screen with the green HTC logo, it's just got stucked in there and it won't do anything anymore.
So I rebooted into the recovery screen (with On/off button + volume down) and choose for Recovery, but that didn't worked because then I got stucked in a black screen.
The last thing that I tryed is to use fastboot, but if I choose for bootloader it kicks me back in the recovery menu.
I have installed HTC Sync for the drivers, but still don't know what to do further.,.
(When my SD card is needed, I could put it in another phone to change or place files on it.)
I already appreciate your time for this and I hope there's someone with a solution for me.
Best regards,
Donny
Hello,
first, i read the troubleshooting guide with slcd and blackscreen.
Ok, i got an Desire which shows while starting just the htc logo on white screen. I thought installing an RUU would fix this.
I am not allowed to post a link jet... The RUU is called Ruu-Desire 2.3 GB update.exe
This is the RUU i installed, in another forum it was sayd, that this would work on every phone except t-mobile branded. Mine is vodafone branded.
The RUU stopped at 59% upgrading the recovery.img and completey exitted. The phone shut down and remains black.
Before the RUU it was on version 2.29.62.2, or something like that.
Now it does not start in fastboot or hboot. Remains black and adb/fastboot does not recognize any phone.
So, is there a way to get it back to life?
Greetings
