So after an unsuccessful ROM flash my phone was stuck at bootloader for quite sometime...i had a micro SD card reader and inserted it into multiple computers running XP, vista and ubuntu...they all registered that i had plugged something in but wouldn't show it as a disk drive...now i've already figured out how to access it but i put a new ROM image on it and tried to reflash but after the flash when my phone booted up it simply switched itself off... when i switched it back on it went back to the bootloader and tried to reflash the ROM. mid flash it just switches itself off... I realize that this is probably due to the charge level of the phone so i plugged it it but it will be off and charging then it will suddenly decide its got enough battery power and boot up to the bootloader screen until it dies again...how do i stop this vicious loop

Something worth trying:
1.You could take out the battery for one minute or longer.
2.Now put the ROM's .nbh on your SD card [Make sure it is named "RHODIMG.nbh" (no quotes)].
3.Put the SD card and battery in and press/hold Power button and the Volume Down button at the same time.
4.That'll put you in Bootloader Mode, and it should ask you if you want to update your phone's image (something like that).
5.Follow the prompts and it should start flashing (you'll see the bar).
6.Soft reset after the flash says it's complete.
I once went through that and this is what I did. I was able to unbrick my phone.
However, (back in September/October) there was another instance of the same thing happening to someone, but he never got it fixed; he did get the stock ROM and SPL back on it, but had to return it to HTC because it still kept cycling into Bootloader.
Good luck!

Lost root, MEID, now vibrates 5 x

I have seen multiple posts regarding the 5x vibration repair but I cannot get into recovery only hboot.
HBoot will read pcimg but fails to load. reboots into current rom, root is gone, will stay on for 3 minutes or so then vibes 5x.
Have tried usb fix, but again cannot get to recovery.
Aside from throwing it against the wall, any suggestions?
please note: not a sprint customer, no warranty, etc. I do have a 2nd evo but am trying to salvage this if possible.
thank you in advance.
EDIT: MEID has returned... Evo will boot into sense but dies after a minute and a half. (5x vibe)

I'll try.
Download and install the HTC fastboot drivers to your computer from
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
Also, make sure HTC sync is not installed on the computer.
Download to your computer
http://www.fileserve.com/file/TzDP8Je
Connect the phone to your computer, then boot into your bootloader (volume down + power button). Hit the power button once the phone powers up and FASTBOOT is highlighted. It should now read FASTBOOT USB in red, then run the RUU from your computer.
See if this fixes the problem.

I really appreciate your help, however, this didn't work as the pc does not recognize the evo. USB fix failed also.
thanks again.

Have given up... Have replacement evo now....thanks all.

There is a guide around here somewhere

[Q] HTC Desire Charge OK but does not boot at all

Hi All
First thanks for a very good and informative forum.
======================
This was my first post/question and was placed in wrong section. Now it replaced. - Sorry for that!
======================
Information:
HTC Desire
rooted
S-OFF
EXT4 recovery
rom: runnymix...
sd-card partioned(by EXT4 recovery)
AMOLED
Motherboard and ribboncable was changed one month ago on warranty.
Symtpoms:
- Charges normally: orange charging/green full charge. Flashing orange/green without battery
- Cant NOT boot at all
- cant get into bootloader vol down + pwr
- can not be detected buy PC
- Battery inserted and charging: When pressing power to turn on => charge light goes off - and nothing happens. Leaving it in this condition for a while: the phone(mainboard) gets warm.
The phone was functioning perfectly before my son installed bootmanager app. He uninstalled the bootmanager app again without making any changes to the phone. It took long time (like freezing), so he did pull the battery out!!
Any help? Tried a lot of searches, none of them was as my problem.
Thank you

Hi! Have you tried to leave the phone without the battery for 1-2 minutes and tried a reboot?

Take the battery out, unplug it, hold power for 30 secs to get any remaining juice out.
Leave the phone for 24 hours (with battery out etc.)
Stick the battery back in, try again.

What would be the cause for such a behaviour? I'm a little curious (and relatively new to the android scene)!
OT: I've took a look to your troubleshooting guide, good job indeed!

Really no idea, and what I told you to do is not guarantee'd to work, it may help though.
And thanks, it sure has cut down repeat posts about repeat problems by about 90% here.

Thank you all for your replies.
I did leave the phone without battery for several days - same problem.
But I did not try to press the pwr for 30 secs without battery. I will try when I get home.
I tried following:
- take battery out and reset it. then hold vol dwn + pwr -> Nothing
- take battery out and reset it. then hold back + pwr -> Nothing
By the way, if I press pwr to turn phone on, it does not come up, but leaving it for a while it gets warmer.
It looks like the CPU is trapped in a loop and running at full speed!
Could a riff box repair it?

do a battery pull then hold back & power. That usually boots into fastboot mode, see if the phone is recognised with
Code:
fastboot devices
if it is run the 2.3 RUU.

Dear bortak
I have tried. It does not enter fastboot.
command "fastboot devices" returns blank.
command "adb devices" returns empty list
command "adb reboot-bootloader" givers "device not found error"
RUU gives usb error.

have you installed the proper drivers on your pc for it to connect with the phone?
If so, when you attempt boot into fastboot and connect your phone through USB do you get the "device connected to windows" sound, like when plugging in and external driver or usb?
Because if not even that sound gets played it most likely means that your phone isn't even able to get into fastboot or hboot...

windows does NOT play any "device connected to windows" sound at all.
I have all drivers installed correct on my windows 7. My other HTC devices (desire s, wildfire, wildfire s) connects correctly to the PC and I can get the serial numbers of them using "fastboot devices" command.
Now on work, I tried a windows XP - same problem no connection - no sound.
This desire does NOT get into hboot nor fastboot. I think taht the "bootsector" is correpted.
I even used a Goldcard (made thru wildfire) - not working either.
So fixing it thru USB the normal way is not working.
Is there any way to force the device to boot up from SD card??
I have several backups of the phone system on my 8GB SD card.

You have to find a way to re-flash the hboot. That causes the blank screen display. May be a bad hboot install or something :0 Unless you have S-off and can be detected in fastboot, you can reflash hboot, otherwise you will have to try the blind flash method using PB.IMG. Best I could think of.

@Jonicraw, thank you for your suggestion.
Where to get the HBOOT PBxxxx.IMG for this desire?
And how to flash it blindly, since I have black screen and no connection to PC.

Had the same problem. Mine could not charge at all and could not enter fastboot/recovery. Send the phone to HTC. I got back the phone with a new battery.

Same s**t for me ... I tried everything you try and no results !

Come on experts ... somebody must have knowledge to fix this common problem.
What about an "Unbrick Jig" like the one for samsulng galaxy:
MICRO USB JIG DOWNLOAD MODE DONGLE FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S2/I9100/I9000
This device may force the cpu to boot from usb, getting it in "boot flashing" condition.

No such things exists for the Desire.
Tell me what state the phone is currently in now?

Yet no solution for this problem...
STATUS for my device is:
Problem solved by changing the motherboard.
I hoped we could find a good solution for this.

I have the same problem but my phone is already on it's 3rd motherboard. I suspect the battery might be the problem but cannot get any answer as to what the voltages should be. I have already submitted a post headed Battery Voltage but it hasn't attracted a reply.

Hi there,
I got the same problem.
Can I send the phone to HTC even if I have rooted it? I also opened it a few weeks ago to replace the broken touchscreen. Do I still have warranty?
Greetings

Desire Z wont power on :(

Hey guys,
Running ILWT CM7. Flashed about two weeks ago. My phone has been working fine except for the past few days where it's been constantly freezing, requiring a battery-out and turn on, and rebooting on it's own.
Last time it froze, I removed the battery and turned back on, and it got to the "htc" logo and froze. After ~25minutes, I took the battery out and tried again.
Phone seems completely dead, won't respond to power on, volume down and power on, no lights come on when charger cable is plugged in. When USB cable is plugged in and no buttons or anything on the phone is pressed, my laptop attempts to install drivers.
Tried leaving battery out for 30minutes and trying again, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!

Stuck in RUU mode?

Looks like your phone is stuck in RUU mode.
In RUU mode you see the silver "HTC" logo as long as your phone is connected to your computer with an USB data cable. No charging lights will show in this mode.
You can use the following command to boot your phone to Android:
Code:
fastboot oem boot
When that does not work, because your partition table or system partition might be corrupted, then you would have to use the correct RUU (Rom Update Utility) for your phone to get it back to a working state.
When you have a bricked internal memory chip (emmc) than nothing will work properly to restore your phone to normal working conditions.
In the case you have an engineering HBOOT you could boot a ROM from SD card, but that is a far shot.
Best regards,
Catherall

Thanks for the help
When plugged in with the USB cable -> computer, I still get no response from the phone itself. Screen doesn't turn on, still seems dead. My laptop still says "Installing device driver software" to no avail, and phone is still dead. No lights, screen is off, nada. As though it was powered-off.
ADB Devices lists nothing, and fastboot oem boot hangs on <waiting for device>.
Am I out of luck? I could send the phone off for repair, but as I'm rooted I think warranty is void.

Windows seems to need a driver installation for using fastboot. Did you try to automaticall install device driver software? Have you installed HTC sync on your Windows computer?
When your device does not respond at all, and even refuses to connect in fastboot, then nobody can tell that you have been rooted.
Best regards,
Catherall

Sounds like your EMMC is fried, as of now I don't think there's a solution other than sending it back. Many say HTC accept and fix it even though it is s-off

did you get this worked out? i had a similar problem, ended up booting into fastboot by holding the trackpad and the power button, then just selected reboot and my phone powered on like nothing had happened, i was running the same rom.

Hey, did you alreasy tourned your phone to the fastboot mode?
Or does your device still have a black screen during boot?

I rooted this phone and when I was done trying S-OFF, phone would not respond to anything. It would only blink the orange notification light when I pressed Power and Vol+, or it would stay steady green with both Vol keys and Power. But the phone screen would never turn on. So after trying for hours to figure it out. I finally took the battery off, plugged the phone held pressed the power button and then put the battery in place the phone finally turned on and it worked. I turned the phone off again and it was doing the same issue. So I did the same step but this time with power and vol- to get in the bootloader and changed the hboot version to Desire Z. After that phone works perfectly, turns on and off with out any issues.
I did have to try the trick a couple of times idk why but it would work once in a while not everytime i tried it. Hope this helps anyone who also ends up with a similar issue.

HTC 10 unable to flash etc..

Hi All,
My Dad has given me has HTC 10 has the battery drain is crazy, when look at the phone the capacitives back and recent apps were not working only the menu button.
i checked the settings and nothing out of the blue why this was happening, so the first thing i did was factory reset the phone, this didnt resolve the issue.
So i though i would reflash the RUU on his phone but the phone will only show has slow charge on my Windows pc, laptop and chromebook, i cant get it to to pick up in ADB etc...
I also hard reset it too in the boot menu (again even if i load in to boot loader the phone isnt detected ) I have over 10 usb c cables (and these work fine on my HTC U11 and allows mew to go in to debug mode etc.. on that phone)
does anyone know what to do so i can flash it to an old version, his CID is H3G__.001 but i cant find the RUU for this only the HTC__.001 and this fails with incorrect footer etc.. i just also tried installing the update via the sd card and getting the same errors.

The Capacitive buttons and the charge port are part of the same board. You could have an issue with that board. If the phone isn't rooted, to allow adb over Wi-Fi, you might be out of luck.
