the first image of the black screen with HTc in the middle and the four caution icons in the corners is what i get when i turn on the phone. If i connect eh usb cable then the screen remains there, when i disconnect the cable i get the white screen. if there is no cable it remains on the black screen. I have tryed every combination of pressing buttons on the phone that i could find in XDA with no visual results.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawe_ewahs:
If you can access to fastboot and see your S/N, you can try this:

Put PB99IMG.zip in the same folder where is your fastboot-windows.exe

fastboot-windows.exe update PB99IMG.zip

Probably it must don't work because we can't flash using fastboot for the moment, but is possible that in this case, it accept to flash it.

You say that you bought the phone from the O2 shop in prague .... so the phone was likely O2 branded? And I believe you didn't use a goldcard?

There aren't any stock Czech O2 roms in the link - I'd imagine you'd stand a much better change if you could turn your sd card into a goldcard first. Do you have another android phone or alternatively a winmo phone?

thats what i was trying to do, get the goldcard, however i was not aware i could do this with another phone. the phone i bought was from an O2 shop i was told it was completely unlocked and as i saw no O2 branding on the interface nor any O2 applications on the phone so i assumed possibly wrongly it to be unbranded.

Yes i have a Nexus 1, can you please explain more:).

could u explain how did u took that screen capture with a camera and did it so perfect? its suspicious :s
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougiebee:
Your phone would almost certainly have had O2 firmware on it. You'd need the SD card to be a goldcard to flash any of the firmwares you're trying. You can turn the SD into a goldcard from your nexus just fine - it's sd specific, not phone specific.

Before you can go further, you'll need to use your nexus to turn a regular sd card into a goldcard. If you go to your link from your first post (specifically post #3) and make the goldcard with your nexus, you can then use it on your desire :)

Proceed only as far as step 15 "You now have a goldcard!"

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougiebee:
You won't need to root your Nexus. You only need to use the Nexus to:

1) Get the long number you get from the 'adb shell cat...' command

2) Write the image back to the card - you can pretty much use anything that will mount the sd card as a removeable drive I believe.

So just standard adb access and usb mounting, no rooting of your nexus required... your Nexus can remain switched on and quite happy...

hi dougiebee thanks for your keen interest, help and keeping this thread alive. Regarding my phone problem i think im going to try for another day and then its off to the HTC dealers. The tiny core Linux rooting method was indeed quite simple i went through the process but while entering commands in the terminal window after entering

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Before trying to re-install the RUU I was getting the restart loop issues documented here:

(forum.xda-developers..)showthread.php?t=676402&page=81

I could re-produce the restarts by using google maps for a couple of minutes and it would then get stuck in a reboot loop until I pulled the battery. The radio definitely seems to be the problem. When I tried re-flashing my desire with the RUU O2 froyo update it stops at 86% spits out the Error 110 and the boot screen says "Radio_V2 - Fail-PU". I believe oombongo has managed to fix his by running the RUU on an x86 machine with htc sync installed but the task icon closed. I have tried this but it doesn't work for me.

Is there any other way to replace the radio without having access to anything but RUU files?

I have downloaded and tried at least 5 different video/media players from the Market, and none of them will play MPEGs correctly. Some of them will give me sound, but none will give me video. I have tried a couple of different video files that I know work on my desktop.

Am I doing something wrong? I am coming from Windows Mobile with Windows Media Player that played just about anything I threw at it. I can't imagine such a wonderful piece of hardware coupled with what seems to be an awesome OS can't do MPG/AVI.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
H.264 is the video encoder for MP4's. Basically, if you used a program to convert your videos to MP4 videos, you would be able to play them without a problem. The phone has hardware acceleration for H.264, so it doesn't use as much processor/battery to play vs. other formats that have to be software decoded. Handbrake works good for me, though I can't remember what file types you can put into it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acrh2:
The reason why you cannot play those mpg files is simple. Android doesn't support them out of the box. You need to turn to third-party video players which can do it.
