htc desire will not boot

Hi,

I have a Desire on Orange and yesterday it decided to reboot its self and then get stuck on the white htc screen, I have not been able to get past this screen since. I recently upgraded to Froyo so I'm not sure if this has something to do with it? Also I would often get stuck in a boot loop before and after the upgrade.

I have looked at rooting it, but I understand you need a goldcard? which I cannot make because I cannot get on the phone.... Is there anyway I can flash it without a goldcard?

I have tried to do a hard reset but this didnt help it is still the same, I also try to get to recovery but the phone just resets.

I would normally take it to an Orange shop and ask them to get it repaired but I cant do this as I replaced the screen a few months back and had to take of the void stickers to get to it.

I think I'm pretty much screwed and stuck in a contract with no phone

Any help or ideas on how I could fix this would be very much appriciated, at the moment I am completely lost!

Android Version:Froyo 2.2
Network:Orange Uk
[Optional]Are You rooted & which Rom: No
Issue:Boot/Cannot access phone

Cheers

Hmm... I'm thinking of how to help you... gimme a few hours...

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies appreciate it, I would normally send it back to HTC or Orange the only problem is that I replaced the screen a while back so the void stickers were removed from the screen so I’m guessing they won’t repair it.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated 

Yeah my bad! I copied and pasted my first post into a few forums for help so I had forgotten exactly what I had written!

After doing a bit of research Im probably going to try and create a goldcard and then try and run a RUU from the pc, any ideas on where I can get a generic one? or which would be best to use?

Sounds like a plan, will it be easier to use unrEVOked? I might try this later... Thanks for your by the way!

Dont sweat it, I'm just greatful for the help!

I'm gonna take your advice and follow the guide, hopefully I can have a working phone tonight

Thanks for taking the time to look around the net for me and I hope you win the battle against the Flu soon!

I'll let you know how I get on, fingers crossed all goes well.

Cheers

Glad to hear your getting better!

I just cant seem to get my phone working ADB cannot find the device and the drivers I have tried don't seem to work, I dont know if I'm doing something wrong but I dont think the pc can communicate with the phone or something like that!

I guess its dead......

An update

I managed to get into recovery (by complete luck it seems because it has never worked before) my phone boots now but is stuck in a bootloop! still getting somewhere!

Trying to access the settings now to enable debugging hopefully then my phone will show as connected on adb.
