[Desire General] RockyGothyBaz:
Hi guys/gals,

I have a Desire UK from Orange which I've been using happily rooted, running LeeDroid S-Off for quite some time. I decided the other day to switch to Oxygen... anyway, to cut a long story short I now have a phone that can get to Hboot and Fastboot but nothing else. Recovery or normal boot just displays the HTC logo for a while then a black screen with a white line either side and a "bling" noise. I've managed to shift Hboot from the dreaded 0.93 to 6.93 using the alphrev downgrader and the followed the guide here w?w?w?.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/htc-desire-downgrading-hboot-and-installing-custom-froyo-rom/ (sorry, first post so I can't post links. Remove the ?'s)

I do have a goldcard made up, I do have a USB card reader, I do have two backups made from CWM on my PC, I really just need to get CWM up and running on my phone to restore the image.

Any guesses or advice (other than "you should have left it alone")? :)

Thanks,

Baz

A bit more info. I just ran "fastboot oem boot" it gives me an output showing the CID is being set to ORANG001 is it possible it has somehow become un-rooted? I've found a link on restoring the mtd0 so I'm looking in to that. :-/
