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.

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)

and install the radio & rom here

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.
Hey guys i have a big problem.

1- you can enter into recovery menu?
2- which is your current clockworkmod version? be careful and don´t do partition sd with previous CWM than 3.0.2.6 you can brick your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1043160.html
waiting for that you don´t did it!!
i can't enter the recovery menu.
I don't know witch version it was. i just used the the newes relases from the leedroid page, and haven't done any changes to the preset.
So propably don't look good for me
Just to rule it out, remove the SD card then try starting the phone (turn it off first even you have to pull battery out).

Can you power on the phone?
When does the boot sequence stop?
Maybe this helps:
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button..
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

sry, i have to tell you that the clockworkmod recovery has formatted your nand-partition, what means that your phone is bricked.
as far as i remember there is no way to fix this.
you had to update your clockworkmod recovery before doing anything. you should´ve read the fat stickie in the android development section.
CWM had a bug which causes bricked phones, because it doesn't partition the sdcard, but the nand memory. this means hard brick.
sry bro.
EDIT: oh^^ just saw, someone posted a link already.
So what happened when you removed the SD card from the phone and tried turning the phone on? <<-- Ignore, I didn't see the bit where you said you'd tried it. Sorry.

sorry i´ve a poor english
Thanks Sergi, I didn't see that bit.
I agree, if you can't get to HBoot (hold down vol- and press power button) then it looks like it is bricked. But that would mean he used an older version of clockwork recovery and I don't know where it says to use an older version.
Summary: Bricked. Send away for repair. Just don't tell them what you were doing.
Can't he JTAG the unit and flash NAND that way?
How does HTC do it?

Hi! I hope you can help me, I'm having some problems with my htc desire and I don't know what to do...
The device is rooted and I have miui running on it. The problem is that all the phisical buttons have become almost unusable, as I need to press them about 10-20 times so they work. The only usable button is the lock button at the top.
I was thinking about installing an ICS rom, so I could use nexus-style touch buttons. It will take a lot of screen space but at least the phone won't be unusable.
The problem is that I'm unable to install any rom. I can't access recovery. I've tried manually (which will never work because I can't hold the down volume button). and through a rom manager, butwhen I try to reset into recovery it just keeps rebooting at the htc logo until I take off the battery.
I've tried also reinstalling the clockwork recovery (different versions) through rom manager., but no luck.
How can I flash a custom rom (anyone with ICS touch buttons will do) with this problem? Or, is there an alternative solution?
Have you tried pushing a new recovery via adb?
http://4ext.net/
download 4ext recovery updater app and install it, then flash recovery from within the app. 4ext is touch screen. then u need to use adb to boot into recovery. the command is - adb reboot recovery
also u could try button saviour from the market

Please help me this is urgent i got this phone recently.. I tried to root it, it said successful then i restarted now it wont turn back on.... I even waited 2hours!!! =(((

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?

A messed boot loader happens when you flash a Froyo RUU on a ROM shipped with Gingerbread. It was fixable, but with the retirement of AAHK and attn1's servers I'm not sire if it still is.
Can you get into the boot loader? If so, load a hboot image into hboot by renaming the zip to PD98IMG.zip and placing it into the root of your SD card, then put the SD back into your phone then hold volume down and power

If he has a messed bootloader and flashes a RUU, he will probably brick his device...quoting attn1:
"...Because mercifully, your miserable dumbass life will end before you see that RUU finish flashing. Your hboot is in super slo-mo, and all the sand that’s passed through all the hourglasses since the dawn of time itself will not amount to how long it will take a full RUU to complete flashing. Well okay, maybe I am exaggerating just a little..."

Neotanker, is the phone booting at all? even after 25 mins? can you access hboot after waiting about 20 mins? if you can access to hboot you might be able to fix it (I can help you) but if you don't get hboot then you are probably done!
