Hi all,
I'll give a quick outline here then go into more detail below if you need it. i've tried things suggested in the other bricked htc threads but none seem to work.
I've basically follwed the root guide at droiden, made a gold card and rooted my htc desire phone which went ok. problem was i then installed the suggested rom in the tutorial which was for an amoled screen but i 've got an slcd screen (i'm thick).
The upshot is my htc desire will only start up sometimes and when it does just goes to a loading screen with a bright colourful x then switches off. holding volume down and power or back and power doesn't bring up the boot menu or fast boot. i've tried to flash from one of the ruu.exe files but it just keeps saying my phone has less than 30% charge (it doesn't) and quits the ruu. Is there any way to recover my phone via another method? I've got the coldcard used to root the phone.
Many thanks
Detailed description
i've basically followed the guide to root here at droiden
and installed the rom here de frost rom it suggests.
rooted fine then i flashed the rom (the de_frost one suggested in the tutorial) - got stuck on a colourful X screen and now won't turn on. it'll only turn on if i connect to a pc and open unrevoked but then it just boots to the colourful x screen until it goes off and then i'm back to the begining.
going off that other thread it sounds like i've used the amoled rom when i've not got an amoled screen.
to make matters worse i've followed these two steps here in other threads on here which suggested a new ota or ruu. ota wais a broken link and with ruu.exe i get an error saying my battery is below 30% (it's not) and so it won't go any further.
are there any other options available to me to restore my phone bearing in mind that volume down and power doesn't bring up the boot screen (just white htc screen then colourful X screen) so i can't even do a hard reset that way. Not bothered about wiping the phone's memory just want to get it back so i can start from scratch with the right rom. i have the gold card used to root the phone.
any help appreciated - thanks.

Needs to be a gold card if your phone is network branded
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ok i did it and it worked first time - it let me get to the boot screen but then after it rebooted it just won't switch on at all now.
any ideas?
Did you let it run till the phone booted?
Take the batt out for a min and pop back in and try. And also make sure you got a good charge
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
yeah it said it was rebooting but then never came back on. i'll give it a good charge and try again.
right it will now turn on everytime but won't go to the boot screen. Volume down power and back power just start it up and it sticks on the loading screen with the x for hours.
What radio have you got installed ? What network and version Rom did you have before ?

i'm not too sure. i bought the desire from ebay. it's an orange branded htc about 2/3 months old. i followed the root guide here (can't post full links as i'm a new member- just stick a www dot infront of)
droid-den.com/phone-guides/phone-guide-how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hboot-0-80
and install the radio & rom here
droid-den.com/phone-guides/phone-guide-how-to-install-rooted-android-2-2-on-your-htc-desire
if it would just go to the boot menu i'd even wipe the thing and start again!
What do you see on the boot screen if any can you get in hboot ?

ok for some reason after 24 hours of trying it will now let me go into the boot screen
for some reason i left the room and came back and it's working.
i've no idea what has happened.
it's completely debranded and rooted with a basic rom.
can someone advise me of a good stable rom which will work with a slcd screen?
many thanks
Best Rom I find is MIUI takes a bit to get used to but you will love it if you miss the clock just download fancy widget .. for the HTC clock and weather. just Google it and get the.apk
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
hmmm. can't download anything from the android marketplace. just says download unsuccessful.
for any who has the same problem - think it was a schoolboy error. when it sticks on the x screen the options must be in the background. press volume down then press power and it boots.
hey everyone,
i recently tried to do a factory restore on my Desire using a Telus RUU from shipped-roms, however, it did not complete the update (because I forgot about needing a Gold Card)
However, now my phone just goes to a screen with the HTC logo in the middle and and exclamation triangle in each corner. No matter how I try and turn my phone on (Volume Down + Power / Back + Power / Menu + Power) they all come to the same screen with the HTC logo and exclamation triangles. Is there something I can do to recover my phone back to the OS (ANY OS will do)?
thankyou in advance for any help.
Yes all is not lost you need to connect the phone to a computer, pc or laptop and get the adb drivers and the adb software from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
This will allow you to get past the triangle thing and into recovery to flash a rom. Have a read of the link I have you about the adb and the thing your looking for I think is something like adb recovery_windows.bat that you will download as part of the adb stuff.
I have had it a few times and managed to fix with adb for windows
Look at the how to flash a rom section it tells you about the triangle thing you have at the moment
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
hi Dazzlet
i've got the adb software on my computer, just waiting for the java thing to download so I can install it. Looking through the link you gave me, I am not finding any information about where to go from here? I checked out the sections you said I should, but I can't find anything regarding the triangles thing I am getting. Any more help would be appreciated...
Sorry for being a pest.
In the link there is a section with a green heading that says how to flash a rom that is the steps you need to take to fix the problem
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Sorry if I'm being naive, all I am finding is information on how to do this from the phone. Am I just missing something on how to install a ROM from my pc without being able to interact with my Desire? Thank-you again.
Alright managed to figure it out. Was a gold card creation issue. My Desire HD memory card is MMC2, which isn't supported in the gold card tool app. After that I got a RUU to load onto my phone.

thast wierd you needed a gold card 4 your telus desire but i didnt 4 mine
And even with the gold card I was unable to use the TELUS RUU. Had to use a generic one. Would have been nice to have gotten the TELUS one on.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Did you use this one?

EddyOS,
yes that is the RUU that I tried using, downloaded it a second time in case the first one had messed up during downloading, neither worked.
Hi, I tried unrooting my phone using a RUU which is for the 3 branded HTC Desire it went successfully but after unplugging it from the computer the phones screen is not coming on!?!?
The touch screen itself is working, but showing just blank screen
Somebody please help
Can you still boot into recovery? Did you do a wipe before flashing the RUU? Maybe just try flashing again? :/
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I think I can boot into recovery but I can't see the screen at all.
I've tried re-flashing several RUU's but many showing errors.
#Also my Desire is the SLCD version
Could be a dead screen... get it repaired.
Youve probably flashed an older ruu for an amoled screen.
I think someones posted a link to a newer one recently here on xda. Do a search for something like '3 uk ruu'

Hiya Fantastic7,
The same happened to me exactly! I got the ROM from the web (the filename was OK, but the content wasn't.) I went ahead with the flash, now I have a Wildfire S which upon power on produces the following symptoms:
a.) flashes the red LED and a white line at the bottom of the screen blinks, then turnes the screen off, and starts the process in a cycle until the battery is removed
b.) does NOT vibrate or allows me to enter the HBOOT menu (POWER and VOL Down button).
The phone is S-ON (I checked it in the HBOOT before updating the RUU Rom on the phone) but SIM free.
So far the solution I found is to send it off and it'll be taken apart and RE-ROMmed. (Search for fonefunshop - bloody forum doesn't allow me to insert link)
There's a video of the procedure (with a HTC Desire) here: youtu.be /-awHNhxG480
Keep me posted if you find anyhting else helpful.
Why don't you claim your warranty?

I'm from Syria mate
Syria = No HTC official agency or Care
I just encountered the same problem, but the strange thing is that the very same file worked fine on another WildFire S which I've just completed setting up CM7.2 on.
RUU used: RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe
Any luck finding out how it can be brought back to life?
Cheers.

Yea, that's fine and dandy if I could even get into HBOOT, no less fastboot... :/
From powered off state, turning it on, it immediately starts blinking as described earlier in this thread.
dammit

yeah..... well mine is back on s-on and when i boot it does a boot loop ( htc logo then turns off then htc logo again)
can some one tell me how to turn on usb debugging mode using pc....:crying:
What happens if you plug the USB into the PC and then quickly boot to hboot?
Also, since you have access to the Bootloader you should download a good copy of the rom. Remove the rom.zip from the ruu and then rename it to pg76img.zip and put it on your sdcard. Reboot to BootLoader and let it run the update.

I have a htc desire.. was using ICS rom on it.. decided to go back to stock rom.. downloaded stock RUU for India from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
now stuck at black screen with HTC logo in middle and /!\ on all four corners... followed the following steps
I
nstalled HTC sync on PC (windows vista .. tried with windows XP too)
Tried to flash RUU by double clicking on it..
After some time the phone vibrated a few times when the flashing was going on and then there was an error 110 - Bad RUU or something
Downloaded the RUU again in case the earlier one got corrupted... same error..
searched on xda a lot, tried android flasher to flash stock bravo bootloader.. it was stuck at flashing.. used command prompt to flash bootloader in fast boot.. it showed success but a time period of just 0.217 sec
Tried RUU again, didn't work, same error
tried bravo_downgrade hboot and then RUU, same error
tried bravo_downgrade hboot along with stock bravo hboot and then RUU, same error
thought of going back to custom rom so that atleast I can use the device but no recovery is present.. tried flashing recovery using command prompt .. it showed success but doesn't load. all button combos take to the screen mentioned above.
Tried going through other threads.. same thing is mentioned.. its a factory unlocked phone, unbranded and all..
Any help?
Was able to flash recovery in fastboot and reboot in recovery.. flashed custom rom .. success.. but when rebooted it gets stuck at the same htc logo with /!\ at the corners
It seems that downgrading the hboot is not at all possible... tried flashing the official GB RUU downloaded from HTC developers site.. the phone came alive !!
Hey there, I also have the same problem with a htc desire. I got the phone from a guy, so i don't know how exactly he got into this state. He said that he tried to update something on the telephone when the power went of. And since then the phone is stuck with this Htc logo and the "!" in all 4 corners. I am very new into smartphones so i don' really know what u did when u said that you flashed the official GB RUU. Could you guide me trough this process so i can try it, and see if it works for me too please ? Thank you !

Search HTC dev on google and you'll be able to get to their website.. there explore and download the ginger bread RUU which is the stock ROM package
Connect to PC and execute the exe RUU file.. it'll flash your phone
