Does it not work if you take the battery out then put it back, hold the volume down + power to get to recovery?

 

Instead of selecting recovery select fastboot and flash the original RUU.

(it will erase everything including root access)

 

Find the right RUU off the XDA site, chuck the phone in fastboot mode and run the .exe file to flash, the flashing is very simple and self explanatory, otherwise look for SUroot's guide... I think he made one.

Heres the XDA link for RUU's

UN-ROOT guide

 

Make sure that u don't grab an amoled ruu for an slcd screen tho'!

 

All 2.2 support slcd.

 

Thats a 2.1 RUU!!!! Thats never going to work as you can't go backwards.

That whole thread contains only 2.1 RUU's. Garrgghhh!

You should use the one from the useful downloads thread linked in my signature.

You're going to have to wait it out and see what happens. Disconnecting whilst flashing radio can be very risky.

 

Is it still sat at "updating Radio" btw?

 

Model mismatch? It definitely works. Its an HTC desire RUU. Its 2.29.405.5. The latest version of WWE unbranded.

 

How did it get into a bootloop? Are you rooted? did the phone just pack up? How long have you had it? Did you try and flash something to it initially?

 

You could try the PB99IMG.zip ( must be called this, capital letters too), put it on sd and boot into hboot. It should find it. Also on download thread in Sig

 

Hardware fault? Would seem strange that an unrooted machine with stock rom would fail to boot.

 

If it was never rooted then accessing recovery using root.methods will never work. This should have been a warranty return. Its quite likely to be a hardware issue

 

Hi,

I am a new member of this forum and I am having the same problem of the post as my HTC Desire keeps on rebooting itself. I've searched and most of the method I have found seems to require that I enable USB debugging in order to do the recovery. Is there a way that I can enable USB debugging without booting into the phone? because I cannot boot into the phone. I would really appreciate the instructions on how to fix the phone.

Thank you so much for the help

 

Hi gwaimui, and welcome to AF

Firstly, we need to know a bit more about your phone and what started this.

Is the phone rooted? The answer to that question will tell us what options we have.

Have you recently changed anything: made any software mods, accepted any updates, installed any apps or themese shortly before the problem started? Did the phone show any problems beforehands, such as occasionally crashing or rebooting when used heavily (games, 3G browsing, maps - things that might make it hot)? The answers to these questions will help guess the cause.

As general advice I'd suggest pulling the battery out, leaving the phone for a while with the battery out (several minutes at least), then putting the batter back in and seeing whether it helps.

If it's a software problem on an unrooted phone we might need to reflash the software. In this case we'll need to know more about the phone to select the right software: what model it is (GSM or CDMA - does it have a SM card or not?), was it network branded or not, and if so which network? It might also be a hardware problem though - at this moment all we know is that it's in a bootloop, but there are many possible causes for that.

 

Hi Hadron,

Thanks for the welcome!

The phone is not rooted and I have not done anything to it, it was how it was from the shop. The phone did not show any symptoms and just died on me. I tried reading most of the tutorials or guides around but non has the similar problem until this thread. Most of the guides needed the phone to be in good condition or at least bootable so the USB debugging could be enabled. I've also tried recovery and it will come to the black screen with a red triangle exclamation mark in the middle.

I could get into the bootloader screen and the details shown:

Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.09.05.30_2

There are terms I might not understand please guide me to find out if you need to know more information.

I really appreciate help on this.

Thank you very much.
