My Desire won't start up anymore, it reboots after about 15 seconds. This happended after installing the latest stock ROM from HTC. I am able to reach both the bootloader (HBOOT-0.93) and the recovery (Android system recovery 3e)
When trying to install a update.zip from here, I always get a "verification failed"-message. Any tips would be highly appriciated
What update.zip are you trying to flash?
I've tried a couple of the newest ROM's from the Desire section here at XDA. Downloaded, renamed update.zip, moved to SD, went into recovery and "apply update.zip". Verification failed comes immidiately
Sounds like you're trying to flash a custom ROM using the stock recovery. You do know you have to be rooted to flash a custom ROM?
Okey, so what should I do? Flash a stock ROM? Use a costum recovery? All I want is to get the phone up and running again
Well, you said you flashed a stock ROM already. Which one did you flash?
You could try a factory reset: Turn phone on whilst holding the back button and select 'Clear Data' and then reboot the phone
I've always had stock ROM, rooted with Unrevoked. I got an OTA update earlier this week, I don't have a build number on this but It seemed to install just fine. It seems this update replaced the custom recovery with the stock recovery (?) and as mentioned, the phone doesn't boot.
Factory reset doesn't help either.
I have the same problem on mz Desire. Rooted, but when applied the latest update from HTC phone just keep on rebooting every 10 secs. any sugestion?
TNX
You shouldnt be applying any updates to a rooted phone.....
What rom were you on? 2.29.405.2 or something similar?.....

I was on 2.10 (i think) and stock rom (no custom)
Try flashing this...

You will need to boot your phone into fastboot (power & back button) then connect it to your PC. You should see 'fastboot usb' on the screen. Run the RUU you downloaded.
This will wipe your phone and unroot it.

tnx
going to try it out!!
will post results
when i first rooted with unrevoked, then installed opendesire, i was stuck in a similar boot loop.
the solution was to boot into the boot loader and select "clear storage".
it then booted into opendesire straight off. a bit nerve racking when you think you've just made an expensive mistake.
i hope this solves the problem for you!
@slippy
didn't work, but thanks
@mike
erased it all, but phone is alive again. thanks
Yet another NooB here so just guide me through plz...
I have a rooted GSM Desire, flash several roms and finaly insercoin v40, did back up as well,
i was trying to S-OFF and for that i face issue during step3 (CD ROM Method) and someone suggest i should try again with fresh installation of ROM, so i try to flash it again and get it done successfully but on reboot it just stuck at htc logo
i can access my sd card and flash the rom again but every time i got stuck on reboot at htc logo...
I hope i made my problem clear so please help me to get through
Thanks
Go to your Recovery and Factory Reset, this may rectify your problem.
Though, someone else had the same problem as you a couple of days ago and it could be the ROM at fault. Try a different ROM, see if that works.

Did the s-off work in the end, it sounds like it should have? I've read a good number of threads where the process has appeared to hang at the last step and a battery pull shows it actually completed!
Only thing i can think of is to boot into fastboot then run your ruu

Actually it didn't work, and i could reboot properly after the battery pull and this all happened when i try to install another backup of my earlier ROM..
I will try to get my sd card formated and flash a new rom and i will update the result asap.
you can't s-off with rom that use a2sd. Choose a rom that doesn't use a2sd or flash original RUU.

Quick Update>>>>
I formate my SD card with recovery and then install a MIUI rom, flashed successfully and then again stuck at HTC LOGO on reboot
@ reaper7881 I am downloading the RUU now and i will definitely give it a try
WELL the Issue is almost resolved....
Re-Flash the ROM and before reboot remove SD Card and reboot manually, It worked like a charm.
I couldn't resist my self for trying one more time to do S_OFF, failed again with insert coin ROM, Tried again with MIUI ROM and it worked.
WHY SO SERIOUS....that was all i wanted to see when i reboot my phone.
Currently doing the partition on my sd card and i hope it will work with after the format and new partitions.
Thanks all who tried to help.
Appreciated...
Hello,
I do not know if I'm in the right section but I come to you for a problem with my HTC Desir.
In trying give the operator rom I flash with 2.35 china's rom. She has put my HBOOT 0.93.0003 and my security is on.
Since I can not boot my phone normally. Chinese boot's logo screen appears after the quarrel. We see that the phone starts but reboot.
I do not know what to do. I have access only fastboot is the only thing that works.
Have you any idea?
thank you
Flash recovery with fastboot, wipe everything and reflash ROM.

Thank you for your answer but if cétait simple I would not do post.
The thing to understand is that I did not have access to recovery! just flasboot. And I can't dowgrader HBOOT because the other rom does not work.
I decided to root my desire HD today,
I was on firmware 3.xx with sense 3 ... Stock Gingerbread.
I successfully downgraded to 1.24.405.1 with the help of RUU
then i managed to root my device following the wiki.cyanogenmod tutorial.
Booted up with the respective android 2.2 successfully even after the root.
Checked root access via Root checker Basic , it said i had correct root access.
How ever , after flashing the clockwork recovery mode , My cell phone has NOT been able to *reboot* properly
i.e when i switch it off , it does not give any response without me taking out the battery and putting it back again .
When i try to go into bootloader/recovery mode , it just gives me a blank black screen.
Please tell me what to do in such a situation , i tried re-running the same RUU , but it gave me an error.
Please forgive me if i have created a re-post.. understand that my situation right now isn't the best.
PLease advice me as to what i should do , i wish to flash CM 7.1 on it, or at least return back to proper stock as soon as possible .
P.S the cell works fine right now , after i have removed the battery & re inserted. It however does not reboot.
Please help me as soon as possible !

This page should have some details on how to install recovery via ADB. Not sure if it will help but it should. Try the FastBoot method.

Thank you for your reply,
For now i am reluctant to even switch off my cell phone
Is there any full proof method of solving this ??
If not then in that case i'll try this method.!

Do you mean you tried rebooting with holding down the volumeDown button and then pressing the power button?
When i shut down the DHD .. & press volume down + power, it did now go into clockworkMod.. instead it booted up fine .. into android 2.2
This probably happened because i deleted the rom manager before..i thought deleting it work also remove clockworkmod's unsuccessful recovery flash..!my bad
Also ,I wanted to ask, is it because of the buggy flash of clockworkmod recovery, that my phone does not boot up when i try to *reboot*...
Anyways, i tried the volume down & power button again , & it goes into the HTC bootloader/recovery.. which has the options of fastboot,etc .. Not the clockworkmod recovery,even though i have it installed(5.0.2.0) via rom manager
Sorry for such a long post =(

It does seem like you need to reinstall recovery.

This is a very good idea, you can do so through ROM Manager. If that doesn't fix your problem, try reinstalling ROM from clockwork - don't use ROM Manager to flash ROMs.

When you boot up holding volume down and power it NOT suppose to boot into cwr. That is normal,its suppose to boot into the bootloader(white screen) from their you choose recovery to enter certain/4ext

Thank you for your kind suggestions,
I finally have a working clockworkMod Recovery,
I have to boot into bootloader,then recovery.
So right now i have backed up my ROM from clockworkMod recovery, and now preparing myself to install CM 7.1 from recovery menu itself.(after data-wipe etc)
I am safe right ? I have successfully backed up the phone(ROM) 2 times from clockwork mod recovery.
So now I can go ahead and flash CM 7.1 right ?
OH MY GOD !!!!
Now i know what the problem is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i flashed cm 7.1 successfully , still the reboot issue !
i returned to stock successfully by using the same RUU in fastboot mode... & amazingly .. SAME REBOOT ISSUE !
So now ive analysed , its the freaking wrong RUU version for my Indian desire HD
that is at fault !!!!!
So now , can any1 help me find a exploitable version ruu , so that I can flash to that version and start the rooting process again ??
If not Indian version , am i safe to put the 1.32.405.6 version RUU ??

I honestly dont think it has anything to do with the rom. Just reinstall recovery either through Rom Manager or using the link i gave to you earlier.
Solved ! =)
Downloaded proper version RUU..flashed via fastboot... solved reboot issue!
Then rooted again and put cyanogenmod 7.1
Thanks for the replies ppl =) !

Hi All
My Desire Z came back from HTC recently after being repaired as the speaker failed.
I had rooted the phone and it was running CWM+CM7.1, HTC returned it running HBOOT+Gingerbread 2.3.3 so I tried to root it again
First I gained temp root and downgraded to an exploitable firmware
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)
This was successful.
I then attempted to gain s-off and install CWM recovery
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting
Again this seemed to work ok, all the steps worked, I gained root and S-off, flashed CWM recovery and all appeared well, except I had no mobile data. I put this down to the exploitable 2.2 being a ROM from Asia and didn't think anything more of it.
This is where it went wrong.
I had taken a backup of my 7.1 OS before sending it back, I attempted to install the backup and it failed. When I powered the phone up I got the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen on a loop.
So I thought I'd reboot into CWM recovery, and reinstall the exploitable 2.2, then try and install a fresh copy of Cyanogen 7.2.
When I held down the front button, volume down and started the phone, I was met with HBOOT recovery rather than CWM which I thought was strange. I reinstalled 2.2, installed CWM Rom Manager again and downloaded CM7.1, put the zip on the SD Card and instructed Rom Manager to reboot into CWM which it did.
I chose to install the zip, it very quickly finished which was odd, and then rebooted the phone and I got the CM7.1 boot animation on a loop.
Again I front button+vol down power up, got HBOOT and reinstalled the exploitable 2.2, again minus mobile data.
So now I'm stuck. I don't know where to go from here to make CWM the primary recovery and install a new ROM.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Marff
Similar Issue with Desire HD Rooting !
As far as i know ,
I had a very similar issue while rooting my friends Desire HD.
After a successful downgrade , NO mobile Data > the desire HD did not reboot properly, i.e it did not *restart* , removing battery & starting was ok !! ( CWM ... similar Rom-flashing issues like yours ! )
Anyways ... after a LOT of work , lot of trial & error , i finally tried to re-download the HTC 2.2 img file Or the HTC RUU, whatevery you choose !
flash the official img file , which should send you back to android 2.2 , Unrooted + without CWM.
Then re-start.
Just make sure that the img file is the correct version / downloaded fully !!
Thanks, I'll start again from scratch and perhaps see if i can find a europe 2.2 ROM
OK - All sorted, now running CM7.1 with Gapps and I have mobile data
