[Q] Desire (stock, not root) can't boot !

Hi,
I need help with my HTC Desire 2.2 stock (not rooted).
I don't know why but it can't boot (freeze on HTC white screen).
I tried vol down + power button to enter in bootloader then tried to clear storage and other items but I still can't boot in normal mode.
Anybody can help me please ?

How long have you left it before turning it off?

About 1 minute. How long should I wait ?
Since I cleared storage it vibrates 7 times quickly and doesn't boot.

Probably a hardware failure. But you can also try to download a stock rom. Then remove your sim and sd card. Go into the bootloader, select fastboot and then run the ruu on your pc.
If you still have the same problem you have a hardware failure.

cant enter boot loader as well
I have almost the same prob here. my phone is dead and after going to boot loader and want to flash a stock rom,the phone does not recover after RUU wanting it to reload bootloader

I get the feeling that it's to do with hardware as well...
I extracted rom.zip from a stock ROM and tried flashing via SD card, but it either comes up as invalid CID or freezes altogether after 'Parsing PB99IMG.zip'

If you have a cid error, then you have the wrong rom. Cid means that if you are branded, you can only flash branded roms. For example, if your carrier is vodafone, you should flash a vodafone stock rom. Otherwise you will get that error.

I think you might have soft bricked your phone. Search the forum how to unbrick a soft-bricked phone. That might help
Are you positive that your WFS is GSM -marvel-a510e ?
Also ,Could you be a bit more specific about what happens when you try to go to boot-loader mode or when you try to boot it.
As in the provided link, did you have to perform procedure 3 or did you perform procedure 2 and was it working? A bit more info about what you did could help others analyze the issue

At the link i did the procedure 1 because my phone couldn't update to 2.3.5 so i tried to update it that way.
when i start the phone it just flashes it's screen and then goes off. it doesn't show htc logo or anything it just flashes some pixels. the loop is so frequent that it happens in 3 sec. Even if i try to start the phone by pressing "volume -" key and "power" key it does same thing, just loops every 3 sec.
I have tried to find a way to fix this but it seem that there is nothing to do because i can't boot to recovery. Is there a way to put the phone to recovery in other way or is here a way to make factory install?
It's really hard to do anything to this phone because my pc won't recognize it in any possible ways and it won't boot to recovery mode.
Do anyone know if i split the phone in to pieces and then manage to boot it or find the system memory and change files in there.

Even if you want to unbrick the device using back-toback tool , you need to enter the boot-loader mode.
Even for other ways, still it needs to be detected by the PC so that we can pass commands using ADB.
Sorry Dude, I can't help much either I am new to this myself. But i hope somebody here will definitely help you
2. There is a possibility that you could "brick" or bootloop your phone. There are two types of brick: soft (recoverable) and hard (non-recoverable). With a soft brick, the phone will not boot or keeps rebooting ("bootloop"), but it can be started in bootloader mode which allows repair of the ROM. With a hard brick, the phone won't even boot into bootloader after holding the power button for 10 seconds and the phone must be returned to HTC for service.

Have you unlocked your Boot-Loader from HTC Dev? Also, you need to install a recovery tool in order to boot into recovery. If you have done only the steps mentioned in the
PROCEDURE 1

then you haven't unlocked the boot loader and no recovery is also installed (I believe) . In this case, I think this is a hard-brick(Correct me if am wrong) which is impossible to recover . Anyways, we shall await other replies from DEVs here in the Forum.

I tried to unlock the bootloader but it wanted 2.3.5 so i tried to install the new version. now it can't do anything. Well this didn't broke my heart because the phone is pretty worthless . now i have to buy new phone sooner than i planned but still all help is still accepted.

Hi, exactly the same for me : I bought the phone 2 years ago and immediately unbranded it with a goldcard, but never tried to unlock it because it was my wife's and I didn't want to risk anything.
Now she got a new phone, I wanted to play a little with the Wildfire S ^^.
In order to unlock the phone on htcdev I had to update it from 2.13.401.2 to 2.13.401.3, with RUU because can't update with OTA (different CID), with goldcard inside.
After the RUU finished, it says "congratulations everything went well", but actually the phone does not boot, stocked in a loop "quick flash / turns off", can't access bootloader, no USB detection for ADB.
Can't send it to HTC because the 2 years warranty is expired, how ironic ! :laugh:
So... if anyone does know or see any trick that could help to boot anything on this "seems to be hard-bricked" kid... huge thanks to you

Stuck in REBOOT/BOOTLOADER/DOWNLOAD MODE screen

After trying to update firmware to newest 3.xxx I messed something up at first step, (i'm S-ON so i had to lock bootloader, now it says "relocked"), using ADB i wrote: "fastboot oem lock" and here I am stuck in this screen. I can:
REBOOT
REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER
BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE
POWER DOWN
But i can only jump from bootloader to download mode and reverse
but can't:
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE (Failed to boot to recovery mode, press volume up/down to go back to menu)
Does any one knows how to fix this ? I can't access my phone from windows(beside device manager sees it as "MY HTC", but it is not present in "this PC" window where are all connected disks/devices), also i can't access it with ADB. I tried to do this on second PC but result is still the same, i can't access phone. List of attached devices is clear.
Please help.

You can't use adb commands in those modes.
In download mode fastboot command should work...

hey buddy find a fix for this. I am stuck on the same thing.

got it, you need to put new RUU on sd card, then from download mode flash it. And it works

Download mode (power + vol down), flash twrp 2.9.0.1. If that is what you did then redownload and push via adb again. Twrp.img is incomplete, that is why you cant boot to recovery.

i am stuck on this very screen and have no idea what to do. volume down and power button does not work. Please help I can not use my phone at all.

my situation is even worse, I can't get into download or recovery modes.

Any solution? now i have in same situation.. only reboot in bootloader all the time... in Download or RRU mode stuck in a blue screen and reboot again in bootloader... in recovery mode say not recovery and reboot in bootloader again...
help please!

Same here, I keep selecting the "reboot to bootloader" or "download mode" and nothing happens, i'm stuck in this screen everytime i boot the phone.
All started when i tried to upgrade my TWRP version. =(

any updates on this? I'm having a similar issue... can only boot to download mode. I can flash firmware and recovery images, but cannot run a stock RUU - won't connect to phone. Vol up/dn buttons also do not work in download mode - have to hold power+volup to reboot.

So how about the SD card method of applying RUUs?
Read Flippy498's Google sheet for more information - he does a great job of explaining the process and guiding you to the right one for your phone.

Hey All,
I had the same issue with my m9. computerslayer the sd card method worked. With bootloader locked, S-On,
I downloaded the proper RUU for my device, changed the name to "0PJAIMG" and loaded it directly from my computer to the SD Card. After reinserting the SD Card into my m9 and booting to download mode it prompted me at the bottom of the screen to install the RUU.
After following all prompts to install and rebooting the phone it booted right up without any evidence of having been rooted.
Thanks for the recommendation.

You'll either need to send your device to HTC or to buy a new phone. It's the dead nand issue that you're facing (c.f. the FAQ of the ReadMe thread.)

I have similar problem as ITheLivingProof, can't run download mode and recovery mode. Before that i had problem with bootloop, i had acces to my twrp, but i set locked bootloader via adb ,now i cant do anything. I aslo trying run RUU but .exe return me 120 error (battery low). In this case one way is HTC service?

No download mode = no way to flash a RUU
So yes, you need to send it to HTC if you want it to get fixed.

I've read other people experiencing the same issue....and it was a broken external sdcard causing it.

Did you ever get your phone working? I'm having the same exact issue right now and i don't know what to do

Yes my htc 10 is working again.
The Power got empty and After some days i charged it and since then the Phone Boots up normal again

I am experiencing the same problem. The phone has the latest update installed. (not rooted, bootloader locked).
I cannot go to any recovery modes.
Its so disappointing ! I'm in India but I bought this phone from middle-east on December 2016 and I have to sent it back there for warranty claim which will not happen very soon.
Have anyone found a solution for this problem ??

Something happened to my cell phone. I enter the bootloader but nothing works

I got same thing but I can't boot my phone any more, just totally frozen down. Not even I try hard reboot with power/power+volume down/power+volume up/power+volume up and down.
I can't do anything without the info on my phone.
Can someone help with this?

This can't be fixed

We cant fix this, even I tried to troubleshoolt but no luck. You have to contact HTC service and claim warranty. So you will get a new device. Very shame on HTC 10 design, One of my friends who was in HTC service centre has seen atleast 12 HTC 10 devices sent for bootloop issue.

HTC One M9 boot and recovery mode is not working

Dear All,
I have a strange problem with my HTC One M9. The phone turns on, but it cannot boot finally, it continuously turns off and turns on again and again... If I enter the bootloader menu with PWR and Volume down, the menu is appear, I can use the buttons up and down, but if I start the recovery mode, the phone shows the HTC logo with black background and it stucks here, so I cannot enter the recovery mode, therefore I cannot conduct factory reset and any of command in it. Is there any solution for that? Does have anyone boot file which can useable with microsd card and install automatically the android to the phone? How can I fix it?
Thank you.

Can you get into download mode? If so, we'll be best able to help you if you can tell us the OS version that is displayed there.
Also, have you read the readme thread at the top of this forum? You might be especially interested in learning about RUU files - what they are and how to use them. If there is a path forward with your phone, it most likely will be in applying a RUU file, if possible.

I'm sorry to echo the post above, but without download mode there isn't anything you can do. You'll need HTC to service the device, or a competent 3rd party with the expertise and hardware to tackle motherboard failures (I have no idea who that might be).
