Hi,
I was trying to root my phone with the guide that is on this forum, but then when i restarted my phone, it was stuck on the white "HTC" boot screen. Then i tried to do a "Factory Reset" in hboot and rebooted, and still stuck on the boot screen. I tried to put a PD98IMG.zip as it was prompted in hboot as "no image or wrong file", so i loaded PD98IMG.zip onto my SD card, and still not working. any suggestions ?
my phone is S-ON.
I guess your phone is branded ? If that's the case, you need to follow the tutorial for a goldcard.
Also, if your rom is 1.7x or 1.8x, you can't root it. You have to follow the downgrade tutorial 1st
Mine took 30 mins to boot once. You could try the ruu look in dev section, you just flash it from Windows, then start again. Was your she branded?

I was in the same situation, downgraded ROM and clockwork mod and did a restore and it works fine now
@Howling Wolf - I cannot get the CID for the SD card, because
in the 'adb shell' command, my command prompt says "error: device not found". But i want to know, can i still get the CID through another HTC desire phone ? and can i still update a stock rom with S-ON ? and how do i know if my phone is branded ?
I got my phone from Taiwan, a friend brought it over for me, and when i last checked it was on software version 1.37.921.1 .
@turbo_d - ill try that thnx
did you try installing the htc sync software then do adb devices
ye i did, i installed HTC sync to get the HTC drivers, but from what i noticed is that your phone needs to be "running" instead of being stuck on the white HTC boot screen or even the hboot doesnt pick up the device aswell >.<

Try going into bootloader, and then run adb from pc..
@SAPPH1RE - i tried that but thanks for the help !
ok i acquired my CID through linux, but now its telling me
main version is older !
update fail.
any suggiestions ? my current software version of the phone is 1.37, which stock RUU should i be using ?
If you are on 1.37 you should be fine to continue with getting s-off and such. You don't need to upgrade or downgrade your ROM until you achieve s-off. And then you should upgrade to a custom ROM such as LeeDroid.

did you get it working ?
I fixed mine a few weeks back by doing a full wipe and then loading a fresh ROM
Thing is, i cant get my phone to start up, so i need to flash a stock rom, so that i can get my phone started and then do S-OFF. But it keeps telling me "Main Version is older!"
ive tried 2 roms already, 1.32 and 1.72 RUU. What could be the problem ?
thnx problem solved, the gold card wasnt done properly, so i re did everything.
thnx for the help guys !

@paulcoop007 i have same problem with you, same version with your phone and S-ON. and my phone at black screen with htc. how can i fix it. can you explain how did you fix your phone?
Hi all,
Like quite a few people my desire started having the "random reboot" issue and I have decided to send it to HTC for repair. For this purpose I have also decided to restore the device to its original condition and ran an RUU on the device. Since my device is unbranded (as far as I know, I bought it SIM free in the UK) I have chosen the following RUU:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
After the program finished I ended up with a device that does not boot (stays on the green HTC logo). I can see that the HBOOT version changed to 0.93 (originally was 0.75).
I am completely stuck. I can not run older RUUs because it gives and error regarding the newer HBOOT, I can not run unrevoked or even access the device using adb. What can I do to save the device?
How long did you leave it on the HTC logo? Can take a good 5 minutes to boot after flashing a stock ROM
I had a similar problem yesterday after installing Cyanogen.
I fixed it by reinstalling the rom.
How do I NAND unlock my Desire HD?

Ok, before you guys all start flaming, I read all the topics on Desire boot problems.
A friend of mine has a Desire which suddely rebooted and came into a bootloop. Sometimes it even got till the unlock screen, but most of the times it rebooted in the HTC Quitely brilliant screen.
Now ive tried to "fix" this:
I first tried to install the latest RUU:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
It gave either connection error [170], or went into bootloader and gave another error (signature error)
next option was to extract rom.zip from the RUU from the %TEMP% folder, rename this PB99IMG.zip (3x checked that it wasnt zip.zip was), put this on my goldcard (http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/). after that boot into bootloader and let it flash.
This flash gave no errors/fail, after that rebooted my phone. Than there is a green circular arrow logo with the middle arrow pointing down.. After that the phone reboots one last time (without vibrating) and is stuck at the HTC logo.
Also tried recovery factory reset.. to no avail
About the phone:

I Dont see any options in your thread that I didnt point out above, and didnt work... As im still S-ON, the options are limited...
Sent it back to HTC and use your warranty.

as much as I hate advising to use that particular RUU it MAY help you.. or just make it worse..
since you have a goldcard try other RUU's maybe
Dont think I can use any other RUU's because it might be an SLCD desire, which means any RUU lower than 2.xx will brick the screen..
BTW Ive tried the gingerbread RUU, one time it went flashing but stayed like that for 1,5 hour... pulled the plug...
Most of the times it gives a verification error..
I suggest u S-OFF/root ur Desire and install a custom ROM.
See these: http://revolutionary.io/

Afer u`ve successfuly S-OFFed, search for a suitable pre-rooted ROM for ur SLCD Desire, on xda-developers, there`s plenty to choose from

have you even read anything? he can't boot - therefore can't run revolutionary. THEREFORE he can't use it..
Has anyone ever seen this? Got this phone cheap and would like to fix it.
Can't get into bootloader, just goes to this screen and keeps rebooting ever so often.
Cheers for any help
Ok an update, it seems the volume- button is broken but back key + power worked and I got into the boot menu. Here's a pic.
Where should I go from here?
Is there a way of knowing if the phone is branded and what brand or unlocked so I can try flashing a WWE RUU?
Ok so the phone is branded T Mobile since a Tmob RUU worked just fine but with WWE ROMs I get a CID mismatch.
Made a goldcard with 2 sd cards but it doesn't work since I get a CID error mismatch again.
I should mention that after a T Mobile RUU flash that phone was still getting stuck on that same screen in post 1.
I've tried several things but still no luck with getting anywhere.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Made a successful goldcard using a different method and was able to flash the latest WWE RUU but the phone is still stuck on boot, the difference is that now it's the white screen with HTC in the middle.
So the phone doesn't even get into boot.
Can somebody help me with this??
Ruu really should Fix it. If it doesn't, first port of call should be warranty. Does ruu give no error?

As I've mentioned, I got this phone for cheap so no warranty.
Nope, no errors with goldcard. Also I should mention I can't get into recovery, it just goes back into boot loop.
I suspect some partition somewhere must be corrupted.
If the phone had S-OFF it would make things so much easier.
Ok so an update, for anyone who runs into this problem.
After trying basically everything (even trying to unlock bootloader with a HTC Unlocker device with no success, probably due to action key not working) I was going to go and try to unlock the official way.
To unlock the official way I had to update the ROM so I just used the latest update which is 2.3.3 and after flashing I was finally able to boot!! So it seems like the problem was not hardware related at all.
Next I used Revolutionary to S-OFF, flashed CWM Touch and used root.zip for root access. Now I'm happy I got it all going and it's time for a sandwich, the ice cream variant
Peace!
Hey everyone!
I recently unlocked the bootloader and installed the latest ClockWork Mod Recovery 5.8.3.1 on my HTC One X. I was trying to install the Android Revolution HD theme on my phone, it didn't install and when I restarted my phone - it got stuck on 'HTC quietly brilliant screen'.
I have tried a lot of the tutorials but I am having no luck and am very sad and frustrated with my phone now.
I updated my phone to software version 1.28 before doing all the above. Right now my phone is unlocked and the CWM is installed and works.
I downloaded the RUU for my phone which is:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_1.26.771.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13H_release_251403_signed
Whenever, I try to run the RUU there is some kind of problem. At first it was battery below 30%, now it was get the correct version.
I tried flashing boot.img and system.img via command prompt but the system.img flash does not work for some reason.
I know that in order to run the RUU, I need lock the bootloader and I think I need a stock recovery.
But I am confused, the RUU is 1.26, but my phone software was 1.28 - so what do I do?
Anyone please help. Thank you very much.
