My first post and I hope i'm in right section. I have just tried to root my htc desire and install 2 roms.
The rooting of phone worked fine [I think]. Came up with super user permissions so guess I got that part right. Now the problem.
I then went to upgrade it from 2.1 to 2.2 using radio zip file and defrost zip file through ROM manager but now can't get any further.
My htc is now stuck on the white htc screen when I switch it on and when I try to do the recovery by holding down the back button while pressing the power button I don't get any joy.
HELP!!! How can I overcome this? Your help would be very appreciated
go to recovery & wipe cache etc then reload the rom

On MyTouch Slide (not sure if is the same on every phone)
You first Hold Down Volume button and don't let go while then press Power button, with volume buttons and power to select Recovery.
And that's how I go to recovery... then proceed with whatever you must/want to do..

Rom Manager, I don't feel like using it to flash a Rom, I'd rather follow instruction for the normal way.

Tried that but it just goes back to white HTC screen - just can't get recovery mode to do anything! - someone told me to try the trackball instead of power button when selecting recovery and all is fine

Search for the answer?
The first thing you should do is more searching... any possible fixes for your problem are out there somewhere on the internet or this forum.
As far as I can gather your phone is hung at the boot screen. You should be able to fix this from the sound of the problem:
Have you tried to reflash an RUU ? That might be your best option.
Also to get the existing ROM you have on it working try booting to recovery (hold power + volume down) and doing a factory reset (Clear Data)
Give more details for your software and hardware. And what you did before this issue appears.

Why don't you do a small research first in the world of Android?

hehehe I am not a programmer
unless you want to teach me about android ..hehehehhe
I met this issue, too
I recorded the behavior in this video:

The center button has something wrong as I must keep one finger pressing on it to let the system work as normal. The worst thing is that I'm in a foreign country and won't get back for several months...
Is there any way to disable the center button? I've rooted my phone but haven't tried to use custom rom.
I got a funny result...
After trying to use the program from unrevoked in ubuntu, the buggy button returned to normal... Hope it won't happen again...
I'll keep monitor it in the following days......
It's still happening...
I've sent a message to HTC and they asked me to reset the phone as it may caused by software. But it looked like a hardware issue...
@dexter93
Oh yes there is an safe mode!! On boot screen, htc logo, hold vol down till phone vibrates, then release and your desire is in safemode, without any of your installed apps!!

safe mode
there is a safe mode, hold down menu key when you switch phone on and the phone will start up in safe mode. the phone will display safe mode in the left lower corner of the screen.
To get out of safe mode simply reboot your phone.... If that doesn't work I think your menu button is sticking - try booting while tapping menu a few times...
Btw, does anyone know what for is this safemode? I was googeling but did not find an answer

In safe mode, only some applications could be executed. You could remove some buggy apps in safe mode.
HTC had replied that I must send the phone back to Taiwan for checking, although they have local branch here in Japan. I'm considering to buy some tools and try to fix it by myself...... In this point, Apple does provide better service than HTC...from a sad HTC customer...
I've tried to open it (following the articles found in internet) and do some cleaning. It's still happening...XD
Oh yes
I Try To Hold tarackball+home+power button
I finally get out of safe mode
but menu button, volume, home,and search not working
because I can install applications and do not reduce my HTC desire performance
Sorry if my engglish langue is bad...
Well it is an Hardware issue. I plugged mine to debug and found that some keys are not responding.
Now the hardware keypad works in a very different way, it uses permutation and combination to figure out which key is pressed. Sometimes because of a faulty joint (due to moisture or anything), 2 or more keys may be dysfunctional.
In my case HTC Desire minus Volume, track ball & the track button keys was not working. I thought the fault was with the the volume key, but when I disconnected keyboard cable from main board and booted, my Volume keys worked just fine and it was not going to safe mode, perfect boot.
So there I knew the problem was with my keyboard. I tried cleaning it and unplugged tracker cable too but still it goes to safe mode. Finally I some how stumbled upon this idea of keeping my Volume plus and minus pressed together and boot. It worked.
Remember the combination would differ case to case, it depends upon what part is faulty.
+ & - Vol and Power till complete boot.

You save me, had exactly the same problem and saw your post and did the same thing and voila no safe mode. Thank you!!!
Hello,
I just unlocked my bootloader and installed the new ARHD, not the EB-2, the 9.4.2. After the installtion i let the phone boot up and I installed some apps. After that I decided to install a mode called : "[MODE][AROMA] Beats Mode - Enhanced Beats sound V7 [9/9/12]".
I went through the aroma installer and my phone rebooted, but this time I only see the "HTC quietly brilliant"-screen and then get a black screen. But I can see that the display is on power and not off.
I cant accsess recovery by pressing the power button and volume down. The phone only boots up and get to the black screen.
Please guys help me
Hi friend, I had the same problem. I was told to hold the power button until the screen went dark black? I know sounds crazy but only sure way of device being completely off. Next whilst holding power hold volume down. Then let go of power. When the menu comes up select fastboot. Connect via USB and issue the clear cache command. Cant remember what it was exactly.... "fastboot clean cache" maybe. Then restart. All should be well. Check google for the command.

You could let it's battery run down to -0-,
then start in bootloader with power & volume down.
At that point, reflash recovery.
Then, take a chance to reboot your current setup.
-OR-
In case the current rom installation is borked, you could try a "factory reset" in Recovery/Wipe, then reboot.
The screen all of a sudden started going black to white with the green HTC powered by android screen. I've done the volume down/power button it will bring up the reboot option screen but if I try to do a factory reset it goes back to the flashing screens. It says Software official locked above the reboot screen. It's not under warranty, so I'm not sure what it will cost to ship it to them and get repaired, so I was hoping someone could give me another option.
THANKS
