You phone is branded and you don't need a gold card..
Read this and you will know how to root and 2 flash a new rom
For the first time you should flash a DATA2SD rom.
For the RCMXHD data++ you must have S-OFF, but you shouldnt trie yet because you are new at the business :
S-OFF tutorail

With this information it is impossible to help you! Read and follow what erklat posted or rather meant with it.
1. can you enter ure bootlaoder
2.do you have clockwork mod or a recovery installed ?
3. are you s off or s on ?
4. what did you do eg did you flash a certain file etc ?
Is it the "white htc screen" as in the boot animation? Or the boot logo? If it's the boot animation then a simple full wipe will solve all the problems but if it's the actual boot logo, then you may be in a big mess.
Hello.
I was on CM7 since 1 year ago. I remember that I gain root access with unrevooked and then I flash the rom directly...
So yesterday I decided to install a new rom for my Desire (paranoid). So i format I format my SD-CARD + ext-4 partitioning... Wipe everything, flash the Rom and Gapps successfully. And then I'm stuck HTC logo.
So after 4 hours of searching everywhere the conclusion is :
- I'm not S-OFF
- I can't re flash CM7
- I can't make a GOLDCARD, and haven't found a correct RUU with no ID error.
- I read everything of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632 and I dont know where to start, and most of tutorials says to connect the phone in debug mode but i haven't got rom (Possible via hboot?)
- fastboot working
- recovery always here
What I should do? I can't S-OFF without debug. And can't make a GOLDCARD even with a CID obtenned without rom.
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english.

Hey Folks!
After the dead of my desire (7 buzzes / vibrates -> indicates a broken soc/motherboard) and the new rising (got a motherboard of a desire with a broken screen) the old lady worked again!
I got the s/n and system from the one with the broken screen - this is normal because it's stored on the mainboard. It was a CM v7 as I remember.
Here as a list of things I did and where I stuck now:
flashed an up-to-date recovery TWRP -> worked
tried to install a new rom with a new hboot which -> didn't worked out
Since here I only can access the recovery
All attempts to flash something (via recovery or fastboot) -> doesn't work
also tried to use revolutionary (even it's already unlooked and s-off) -> but the app stucks
I could only flash the boot logo via fastboot the rest results in different errors like:
CID incorrect (pb99img.zip method)
Error (When trying to flash a .zip via recovery)
And an other Error i forgott (when flash via fastboot)
Also i can't get an information via fastboot (-getvar all). There is always a errormessage.
Here is my hboot-screen

I'm not sure if something went wrong while trying to put a new hboot (partition-layout).
I have no idea what to do. Read about the half of the internet....
Anyone any idea?
Here is an other error message i get when running this fastboot command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
getvar:all FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
finished. total time: 0.001s
I'm realy appreciate any help!

So good news is that it's not bricked if you can reach bootloader and recovery screen. Sounds like a driver issue or bad download of ROM, or both.
A few things to note:
- You haven't changed hboot because it still says 'Alpharev' on top of the bootloader screen. It should say the name of the hboot e.g. Alpharev CM7R2 if successful.
- CID incorrect happens when you try to flash a different region RUU. You should have tried the 2.3.3 GB WWE RUU, many threads in Q&A cover this.
- You should always try 'fastboot devices' command before flashing anything via fastboot, this will tell you straight away if you have driver issues.
This info I must have learnt reading the other half of the internet ...
What I would do:
- Confirm that fastboot is working first, check your drivers. Did you flash the recovery using fastboot? Flashing an hboot is largely the same method.
- Verify that the md5sum of the ROM.zip is correct on PC before flashing. Test several ROMs to be sure.
- Verify that the ROM is also compatible with the hboot as well or it won't boot.
- Make sure you nandroid backup if you have anything to save, then full wipe (wipe data/factory reset) before flashing the ROM.
- Make sure your sd card is correctly partitioned if the ROM requires one., as some put parts of the ROM on the partition. You will need a partition to install more than a few apps anyway.
- Post / research the exact error message if it's still not working, and at least state which ROMs you've tried.

Thanks for your reply. Some things I forgot to mention in the thread above.
I successfully rooted, s-off, and flashed a new hboot & rom to my old desire.... all before she died. I remembered I needed some tries for the hboot... but it worked out fine in the end.
I also need to say that I tried (with the new/repaired one) different clients (hardware and os, win & linux) and different cables. Just to be sure.
I also went sure that fastboot is working (fastboot devices) and there always was my serial -> so it's good for sure
I read something about that the Alpharev hboot (with the repaired phone there was also the bootsplash with 'alpha-rev s-off / why so serious?' before I flashed it away to the stock 'htc') is somehow write-protected itself which can cause issues???
I tried to flash the "Alpha Jelly (250/5/182) hboot" to be able to install CarbonRom 1.0 (4.4.4) by spezi77 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658853). But I didn't succeeded at all.

I think I flashed the recovery via fastboot, it just worked once. When I tried to flash CWM it didn't worked anymore.

I did checked the md5sum's and I tested a couple of Roms (more than 3)

My old devices was a PVT4 and the repaired one is a PVT1 - there should be no difference for the hboot i guess?

This I should have done straight after I repaired the hardware and I was able to boot in CM7.... To late for now but if I have a working state I definitely do this!! :good:

I don't have a booting system yet so I need to postpone this. To be able to do the pb99img.zip method i formatted the whole sd-card with one partition as fat32. But when I have (hopefully) soon a working system I need to partion it correctly - easy!

writing 'hboot'...

looks good for me!
the bootscreen changed from

so first and third line changed!
And because it's so nice to flash hboot i also flashed AlphaRev Jelly successfully!!

After I successfully flashed my hboot (twice!)....

Maybe there is something "broken" with the filesystem?
As always I appreciate any help
Did a 'clear userdata' in the boot menu and then a wipe via TWRP.
Now it was successful but with this errors in the console:

But I wonder where are these errors from
Installing a rom still doesn't work. I think the problem is this line:

There is BIG FAT BUG in the newest TWRP (v2.7.1.0)
You can't install anything before manually create the tmp directory
You have to do the following steps to flash any files :
- boot into recovery mode
- choose 'Advanced'
- choose 'Terminal Command'
- You're now on the '/' (root of the file system). Choose 'Select'
- Type : 'mkdir tmp' without quotes, then Hit the enter key of your keyboard.
- Return to the main screen (Go back 3 times)
- Choose 'Install' and select the file.

I've personally never used TWRP on the Desire.
I recommend trying with 4EXT Recovery, never had any issues with it.
If you can successfully flash an hboot, you should be able to flash the recovery.img using the same method.
Hi there!
I have this HTC One M8x here. It was encrypted. Now I'm trying to flash a custom ROM (lineage).
When the phone boots and insert a password, it gives me:
The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately, your data is corrupt.
Then it boots into recovery (Philz CWM).
Then I went to the bootloader so I can access fastboot.
Some information on that screen:

Then I booted TWRP using:
fastboot boot recovery.img
TWRP teamwin logo comes and it takes too long before TWRP works.
Then I try to mount manually using adb shell:
# mount /data
And it gives me:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p47 on /data failed: Invalid argument
Any idea how can I solve this?
Thanks in advance!
I had the same message when I had a different versions of firmware and ROM. Try checking your firmware version and flash a suitable ROM. Don't forget the factory reset steps.
