Can you get into fastboot? You get there by pressing and holding first back and then power button.

as i said before, it shows only the image above on every key combo

turn it off, plug it in via usb, hold back and power
if you know where your fastboot.exe is then cd into the path in cmd.
if you don't then unzip my attachment and put it in your c:\ and type these commands
Code:
cd\
fastboot devices
if it gives back a serial then it is not bricked and you can flash a RUU

It will likely not give a signal back on fastboot devices, as it isn't in fastboot, but it wouldn't do that in hboot mode either so you can't use that info for anything.
I've seen a couble of these, and you should still be able to flash a ruu. If it's a gsm desire(you should have a sim-card), download and run the following ruu while it's connected: http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152(the ruu is the .exe file inside the .rar)

FYI, when it's in that state it is booted in RUU mode, which is pretty much the same as fastboot.
if you don't believe me, plug your phone in while booted into a rom and type
Code:
adb reboot oem-78
fastboot devices
fastboot getvar boot-mode

Did you try what I said in the first post?

ive finally been able to flash it with official gingerbread ruu from the link given by mortenmhp
it ran without errors
but after reboot its stuck on infinite loop: white htc screen, then vibra and reboot
it now enters fastboot, shows all info, but doesnt enter recovery

well, congratulations on following bad advice which has got you in an even worse situation... Nothing much you can do. You're S-ON, and you have an un-overwritable RUU (unless a newer one comes out). Can try to flash it again but whether that works is anyone's guess.

Why it doesn't boot now? What's wrong

Stuck in HBOOT - Controls Not Working

After some searching on the forum, the only other similar issue someone had I could find was in the G2 sub forum (see link).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493182&page=2
My Droid Incredible has been a wonderful phone and was running CM 7.2 flawlessly when as of a few days ago began only booting to the HTC start screen. I loaded HBOOT in attempt to get into recovery, but the volume buttons aren't working. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

That is very strange. Obviously its not a hardware issue as the vol down key works to get to hboot. So my guess would be that hboot is corrupt somehow. Have you tried reflashing hboot? Mabey hboot will see the file and let you use vol up to install it. But im guessing that it wont let you use the keys for that either. I would use a pc and fastboot to flash an ruu. To do that:
Download the latest ruu http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe.
With the phone connected and in hboot open a cmd prompt to where fastboot.exe is and type the following.
Code:
fastboot devices
- Above line should output your serial #.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip PB31IMG.zip
- If you get a failed error, type the above line again, it happens sometimes when flashing a complete ruu.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Well, first of all thank you for taking the time to respond. I really do appreciate it. For some reason I could never get fastboot to recognize the device even though it showed up correctly in the device manager. I was however able to download the file and put it on the root folder of my sd card. I then boot up in HBOOT again, and it installed it through that process. It first relocked HBOOT, then reverted back to factory settings.Then I found out I had a second issue.The power button apparently had been sticking. I believe this is why none of the buttons were not working, and also possibly why it kept running a boot loop. But, all is well now, thanks again.

Might i suggest you download the all in one tool and flash TWRP from that. Is your PC seeing your phone still. Or if you are ok with adb use that to flash TWRP. To help properly we need more info on how you flashed it what method ETC.

OP, do NOT flash a toolkit - learn to do it yourself. Toolkits are for the lazy as you never learn what you're doing or what to do if things go wrong...
Now, I'm thinking you've flashed a recovery not designed for your phone as the Chinese M8 is different from the others. You'll need to find a custom recovery for your device. What's the model code btw? For edxample, the EU handset is the M8_UL

does anybody know just HOW different this phone is? is it just the radio? superficially, the specs seem the same ...
it seems the model it goes by on the market is m8t, getvar all has these:

If you do fastboot getvar all it should have the model type in there...if not, it'll be at the top of the HBOOT screen

Have you tried just booting a custom recovery, fastboot boot whatever_recovery.img ?

CMW-based recovery for m8t
i couldn't get the guy to give me his collection of factory- and OTA roms, but i found this:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1qWjnqaw
which contains a CWM-based recovery (in chinese ... ) that works on the m8t (m8_tl), and a htcm8root.zip
fastboot flash recovery $RECOVERY

[Q] [q] Failed RUU - black screen with /!\ issue

Dear All,
I am digging through the forum for couple of hours but after reading number of tutorials and threads I stuck with no answer to my problem.
Here is the issue:
I have HTC Desire (Bravo) PVT3 with S-Off and Alpha Rev CM7 r2.
I Tried to Flash original ROM RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed. The process failed and I have ended up with black screen and /!\ in every corner. I tried to solve the problem with with THIS tutorial (POINT 4) but I did not succeed.
I cannot flash Bravo Stock with Android Flasher (version 2.0.0) as it freezes. Links to newer version of the flasher seems to be dead - so are links to number of other utilities on the forum .
Could anyone help me bring the phone to life, please? I probably (!) even have got a goldcard (it was created long time ago, never used even not sure if it was ever working). I want to flash any rom to make the phone usable, not necessarily stock one.
After unplugging usb from the PC, the phone is in ruu mode and displays following info:
Alpha Rev CM7 r2
Bravo PVT3 Ship S-OFF
HBOOT-6. 93. 1002
Microp-051d
Touch Panel -SYNW0101
Radio-4. 06. 00. 02_2
Date, time
Many thanks for any ideas....

I assume that you're after reading HTC Desire (Bravo) Troubleshooting Guide, Chapter [4]: RUU PROBLEMS.
Try another flasher, e.g. Universal Android Flasher v1.40 b.

Just use fastboot commands to flash stock hboot then run the ruu.
The command is -
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
The reason the ruu failed is because the system partition in the cm7r2 hboot is too small for the ruu.

In the same way that you read in bortak's quide.
First you need to be sure that you have the IMG for hboot and that through adb you have connection to the device.

OK, I have downloaded "Bravo Stock" from Alpharev but I cannot boot to fastbood mode (back and power don't work).

Pull the battery out then put back in, then press and hold back + power Or vol down + power. /!\ in each corner is the same as fastboot mode. So when u get that screen, plug in ur phone and type the fastboot command
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
Then type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then run the ruu.

if you can get into bootloader then just get the good boot.img and flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img

Tried that but it won't see my device.

It doesn't apear in my devices.

When on bootloader/fastboot mode, type
fastboot devices
to check connection
if it returns your device serial no, then it is good for you to
fastboot flash boot boot.img
adb devices is working when in recovery or on running OS, not on bootloader/fastboot

You have a newer sets of drivers installed and the installer exits instead of downgrade the version.
Are you sure you are in fastboot mode?
To enter this.
Power off your phone.
Hold Power and volume down button until phone enters a white screen with Hboot written on it.

Now press power button again. The screen should now change to this
Showing fastboot marked in red.
Go to device manager and look for the driver. It should look like this ( Android USB Devices, My HTC)
In cmd type fastboot devices.
My cmd returns this.

It was my thought at first. So now we know that htc apparently dropped the support for one x and older devices in their driver pack. Good to know

Now i need to take a look at how i can push a diff rom in there since the other rom apparently wont work..

Making a new layout is something i missed, Mone said ;
Flashing instruction like usual: perform a full wipe with TWRP for new layout, flash the ROM, flash the suggested GApps, reboot into fastboot mode, flash the boot.img exctracted from the ROM.zip, reboot into system, enjoy cm-12.1.
So i wiped the damn thing( ) after making a backup offcourse(which btw doesn't help cuz its screwed...). But i completely missed that i had to make a new layout... But stil i am convinced it can be "unbricked" one way or another.
I basicly follwed all the steps mentioned in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 and it al worked up to the point i flashed the wrong kernel. After that i searched the forum for hours and found some things which could be connected but with a total different view of what my problem is/was(partially solved with your help) and ended up with putting a SOS sign up for help.
