I recently installed Leedroid 2.2d with A2sd on my HTC desire (unbranded) and it no longer boots (it doesn't make it past the HTC logo). It did this with the previous version but if I removed the battery and left it for a while it would eventually turn on again. Before this happened it started randomly restarting and I think that might be the problem.
Possibly useful information:
I can boot into the fastboot menu but it won't go further than the HTC Logo from there.
I can plug it into my PC and it will display "HBoot USB Plug"
Booting into recovery also only shows HTC Logo, it goes no further.
I have HBoot 0.92.0001 and the radio is 5.10.05.23.
I am trying to work out how I can re-flash in the hopes it will sort this out possibly with the RUU program and connecting from windows.
It has been a few days now and I can't get my phone working and I'm starting to get a little desperate, any help is appreciated as I'm a little overwhelmed by the amount of information available and the endless options.
I have downloaded the RUU from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe) and run it.
It starts working and then stops with the message "Error[140]: Bootloader version error". How do I get the correct RUU for my bootloader (HBoot 0.92.0001)?
I have also tried Froyo downgrade (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256) but it just returned a whole lot "Error: Device not found" messages.
Tried flashing RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed and received an error about a file not being able to be opened for writing.
Just ran RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe and it completed successfully but it still doesn't go past the screen with the white background and the green HTC logo.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.0 0.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe didn't work originally but I charged until it was fully charged and then tried booting it again and it worked.
I had taken my sim and sd card out so I switched it off and put those back in and again it booted up fine. I was then switching Wi-fi on and it suddenly restarted and now it refuses to boot again.
Any ideas?
I can now consistently get it to boot by doing the following:
1. Remove battery
2. Put battery back
3. Charge until full and then leave plugged in for about 15 minutes.
4. Switch phone on.
Unfortunately it is still randomly re-booting while using the phone, could be it be a bad partition on the sd card?

try flashing the bootfix on the first post of LeeDroid thread
EDIT: here it is http://db.tt/QLu5cPL
Thanks for replying. How do I flash the bootfix?
Also, I don't have Leedroid anymore and I am back on stock Froyo ROM.
you flash it the same way you flash leedroid. through recovery.
have you rooted after you flashed the RUU? if you have, flash LeeDroid, flash bootfix and then reboot.

I used ROM manager to flash leedroid so I'll try a that again. I'll have to try it later as luck would have it, I can no longer boot using the fully charged battery method

have you rooted? you can do it manually via recovery. hold down volume button while turning the phone on, then choose recovery. you can choose zip file to install.
i've never flashed anything using ROM manager so i don't know how it works. does it reboot automatically after flashing something? if that's the case, then you might need to do it via recovery. because you need to flash the fix before rebooting.
More frustration. If I take the sd card out it will boot up so that I can see the home screen but then it just reboots again, and again, and again at the same point.
When I put the sd card back again it gets to the HTC logo and stops again.
This is really starting to annoy me

I have yet to get recovery to actually run, always stalls on the HTC logo. I also can't get the phone to start with the SD card in so I can't load files onto it.
One thing I've noticed (unless I've missed something) is you've not tried another SD card. I'd give this a go as it may be corrupt

I don't have a spare one but I might be able to get a mini sd card reader and then format it via windows. Would that work as well?

i'd try that if i were you. this goes without saying but make sure you back up first.
I actually don't think any of the above made any difference...
I just put back my SD card and the phone is working perfectly again. The only thing I can think of is that during the day it is too hot and it is cooler now (at night). This seems to be backed up by this thread - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676402
has been running since yesterday evening without a problem. Weird...
Hi
I recently purchased a second hand htc desire locked on Orange UK.
The phone seemed to be running fine (not 100% sure though) at the beginning. The first thing I did was to unlock the phone, by using the method posted on the giffgaff site.
Everything seemed to be running fine at the beginning, but after a while the phone started rebooting randomly. It escalated to the point to where it would not go past the HTC logo, and just went into a reboot circle. The only thing that helps in this situation is taking out the battery for a couple of minutes and than it would boot up.
I figured it was a software issue, so I tried installing a custom ROM. It took a while but I managed to ROOT the device and install the CyanogenMod 7 (latest). The installation was successful but unfortunately the reboot issue hasn't changed at all.
I would have wanted to reverse the unlocking procedure that I did at the beginning, but there's nothing about how to do it.
The other possible solution I found, is to do a RUU. I wasn't able to find a ROM made for Orange UK version, so I went with RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe figuring that that is the generic one for EU. The problem is that from what I can tell Cyanogen doesn't have HTC Sync mode for USB connectivity, and when I try to do it without it gives me an USB connection error. I checked and from what I can tell I have the drivers installed for it.
I'm stuck at this point so any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S.: I also made a gold card for the phone but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it.
-edit-
I also noticed that it tends to reboot especially when I try to enter recovery mode
-edit2-
In all fairness I never managed to access recovery mode from the HBOOT menu. It always took me to the HTC Logo, and then went into a reboot cycle. The way that I managed to access the Recovery mode was either through rom manager or direct recovery reboot from cyanogenmod

I tried flashing a kernel believed to be ExcaliBur on my HTC One M8, but as soon as i rebooted the screen was black yet still on.
I know it's not bricked completely because i can still hear sounds, feel vibrations and see the LED's work properly. Basically I have a "blind" phone. I have began to look into a way to capture my screen one frame at a time with my computer.
Please help me!

Tried getting back to bootloader and flashing back the boot.img you had before flashing new kernel?
If the device still has "some" interaction then you should be able to connect it to PC and use the adb reboot bootloader command to boot it into bootloader.

I actually DID just get into my bootloader. I had to mess around by pressing the buttons until i finally got it to boot into bootloader. Now I flashed a stock kernel for now, I always keep it in my SD Card.
I found you can use a program called Wondershare MobileGo for Android that can read whatever is on your phone if you happen to be "blind" like me.
P.S. I really need a kernel for CMod that has fast charge. Currently ExcaliBur is off the list.
I haven't heard of Wondershare MobileGo, seems interesting.
I can't help with custom Kernels, I always stick with stock, haven't flashed a custom kernel since way back with my S3. Sorry, can't help there.
Thanks anyways! Notice I got my phone working again! I flashed the stock, and then reflashed CMod and nothing was wiped. Interestingly...

That's quite lucky, any other time I've heard of this happening the phone's died completely.
...I think
I would gladly give a better Topic Title but i can't. Maybe you guys can give further troubleshooting assistance.
Actual State:
Can boot to bootloader and Fastboot. Bootloader unlocked and TWRP Recovery installed. There _should_ be a Revolution HD on the device. When device powers up it goes smoothly to the White HTC quietly brilliiance screen (screen brightness begins to flicker) and goes off after (really off, not hanging, plain off). After i cleared boot cache via adb i'm able too see a split second of the htc bootlogo and then goes off right after.
State of device when i began to "fix" it:
BL Locked, No Custom Recovery, Stock recovery dead (Just red triangle), rom maybe was dead too but i don't know.
Last attempts i did were:
1. Flash boot.img through fastboot (Fastboot flash boot boot.img)
2. Flashed the Superwipe script (was desperate)
3. Flash Android Revolution through TWRP-Recovery
First:
I Don't know wich carrier. Boy that bugs me a lot. I'Ve tried Generic, Vodaphone and T-Mobile (since i'm in germany) but no Luck. Is there a possibility to check what RUU i need without a Running ROM? I haven't bought the device i got it from a friend of mine and it went straight to my wife. I've asked, he doesn't know. I'm not so into HTC, so i'm not quite firm concerning Stock restore.
Next:
I think i tried everything except for restoring stock (because.... meh....): I've unlocked the phone. I've flashed CWM aswell as TWRP. I've flashed different boot.img from different roms i've flashed.
I'Ve litteraly did EVERYTHING what seemed like a good idea to me. But now i'm at the end of my knowledge.
My last piece of Information:
After 2 1/2 hours i had a Custom Recovery Running (did the trial and error RUU Method before). I've mounted the SD-Card and it was Blank. There was NOTHING on it except for some Recovery Folders. SD Card is about 24GB. This looks like a lot to me. Is that really normal? Mounting system, data and sd via adb works like a charm.
So if one of you could help me that'd really be cool. If there is some crazy stuff i need to do via adb, please go into detail. I know the basics (how to mount partitions and to push files) nothing more.
But maybe it's just faulty...
Thanks in advance
Hello,2 days ago I attempted to root my HTC One M8S.I'm here so therefore I failed .I've unlocked the bootloader I can get into with ease.The problem comes when I try to go into recovery(TWRP,CWM,whatever).I flashed the recovery(TWRP and CWM tried both) but it seems I can't boot into recovery at all.I go into the bootloader and I select recovery my phone just attempts to reboot and it goes in a kinda standby state with the an orange led blinking and black screen(when it's connected to the PC/charger a blinking battery image with a lightning appears blinking).That's my recovery.I have no errors when flashing the recovery or any kind of errors.
If you could help me I would be grateful.Thanks in advance.
The most possible reason for the failure is you installed wrong recovery that is not meant for your device variant ... there is no CWM recovery for M8S.

Thank you.That was the problem.About the ROMs are the same as M8 ones or should I look for M8S ones.I didnt found any.
M8s is a completely different machine and M8 ROMs will not work.
I suggest reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245
