My girlfriend's HTC Desire reset the other day and now won't get passed the pink loading circle.

It was a GSM T-Mobile UK branded handset. A few months ago it started getting really laggy and had low space errors. I S-Off'd it, rooted and installed MildWild CM with the CM7r2 hboot.

I'm wondering if I should start from scratch and go back to the original software and re-root and re-install MildWild, any thoughts?

Right, i've got my hands on the phone now:

I can't get into recovery, when i select it from the bootloader it goes to the pink circle and doesn't load. I have flashed recovery using fastboot but that doesn't help either.

Phone info:

AlphaRev CM7 r2
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23

It's normal to see this when the phone was ok, afterwards it would go to the HTC boot animation. But now it just gets stuck here:

So recovery isn't booting, nor the rom? And flashing recovery through fastboot failed?

If you want a fresh start, flash the 2.3 RUU in my sig, but you will lose all your data.
Or try flashing recovery again with Android flasher, and/or Fastboot commander.

I tried to reinstall and flashed the ROM 4.1.2 from vijendrahs. The circel appears when I start the recovery or when I boot normaly. I stays for some seconds and then it works fine. I don't know why this happens. Will try to flash the RUU first and look if it still there.

Hi,

Just in case anybody wants to refer to this at a later date:

I tried:

Flashing 4EXT touch recovery

re-flashing the hboot.

Clearing storage

None of which helped.


So finally I flashed stock hboot then installed GB RUU via a PB99IMG.zip from here: http://d-h.st/d44

Then flashed 4EXT Recovery, which looks great! And installed MildWild CM.

Hope that can help someone with similar problems.

    Mainly system errors.

    Installing the same rom without clearing data will not make you lose anything. Just wipe cache, dalvik cache, and flash rom.
