Hello all, a couple of nights ago I tried to root my Desire. Everything went fine up through flashing TWRP, but then after trying to install SuperSU, TWRP alerted me that there was no OS installed should I reboot. After that it has only booted to the fastboot, though I am able to get to the recovery through the bootloader. I've tried using the HTC RUU, flashed a different recovery, flashed the stock recovery and kernel, but to no avail. Last night I installed Insertcoin ROM, and was able to interact with the installation screen, but when the phone rebooted, it just went back to the fastboot. I'm pretty stuck right now, any suggestions will help. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for replying! I thought I had already tried to flash a custom recovery, it was even TWRP the first time. I'm just trying to get my phone back to an operable state. I'll try it now though.
Tried the TWRP download, didn't work. The phone still only boots to fastboot, and won't go to the recovery at all. TWRP worked well until I tried to reboot, and then I was taken back to fastboot.
Did u try to remove the battery?

which rom did you flash?
your phone is fine,
thinks to also look into doing..
get 4ext recovery..
Optain s-off
-To answer your question.
You should have backed up your phone before flashing a rom.
if you didnt your going to download a rom that compatible with your device.. which seems to be the EVO V 4G. or download the RUU

i tried the windroid toolkit but it didnt work,so i tried downloading moonshine and do it manually.everything seemed to be going great.but when it got to "installing temproot" it failed and it told me to exit. what went wrong?
yeah dont use the tool kit. Make sure to run moonshine as admin. reboot phone and try again. Also reboot your computer for the hell of it. That might kill any open sessions the tool kit still has. Moonshine is to be the only thing running.

Start with S-OFF. After that, you just run the RUU from HTC (like you would've done to upgrade to 4.3).
after that thats all i do?

Your storage is likely corrupt. You can format it with your PC but this will delete everything from your storage. All you need to do is download the SuperSU zip to your phone and flash it in recovery, then you'll be rooted. You'll also need to install the SuperSU app from the Play store if it's not included in whatever ROM you flash. Once you've done this you can start the S-off process.

If you have any important files on your internal storage copy them to your PC. You can download the SuperSU zip afterwards and use your computer or a file manager to move it to your SD card if you'd like but it won't matter where you put it, it's just personal preference.

I would suggest running the RUU again. Connect your phone and PC via Fastboot USB mode. Once you've done this, double-click the RUU to start the installer. Since you're S-on you may have to relock your bootloader first.

Now that we have our own specific forum, would it be plausible to get some sort of step-by-step guide on how to go about installing the KitKat OTA if you're rooted? In browsing through the megathread from before, I get the impression that I will need to flash the stock recovery and relock my bootloader, then unlock once again once I've updated, but the thread itself is a bit daunting and the advice is pretty well scattered amid the various conversations there. Can we get some sort of consolidated guide from someone more knowledgeable than myself?
(Thank you in advance, by the way. I know I will be highly appreciative.)

This is what I followed, though you are going to lose data...
TehFlash said:
If you have the different partition layout that was introduced with the KitKat update, and also have the upgraded HBOOT then I guess i'll write up this guide. To get the phone back in proper working order, you need to do this.
1) Make sure you have the HTC drivers installed, and HTC Sync Manager fully uninstalled. ADB/Fastboot and such in working order, etc.
2) Download the KitKat OTA ZIP from Duir's Drive Folder here https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B-kSF8g8H7KudEFRU1hPMjRObU0&export=download and open it up and take out firmware.zip
3) Get into HBOOT on the phone, and flash that firmware.zip file by running fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and also run fastboot flash update firmware.zip both will say FAIL but for me that worked if that didn't work then relock your device by running fastboot oem lock and then get back to fastboot and run fastboot oem rebootRUU (case-sensitive) and then issue fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and also run fastboot flash update firmware.zip and reboot to fastboot again
4) If you had to relock your device unlock it by getting your Unlock_code.bin from HTCdev and issue this command when you're in fastboot which is fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
5) download Duir's TWRP recovery built for KitKat which is located here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-kSF8g8H7KuME12ai1OVHVqd3M&usp=sharing grab the openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-zaracl.img and then flash that by issuing fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-zaracl.img
6) Boot up into recovery, and format Data middle button on the right and type in 'Yes' and then wipe everything (you might have to reboot back into recovery again and then wipe everything) The reason to format Data using that button is because of KitKat remapping the partitions
7) Grab the KitKat TWRP backup from here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8-7I2_Vt73ldUNPd2c4X0xoQXc/edit
8) while that downloads make a pseudo backup, and then when thats finished mount your SDcard and open up the KitKat TWRP backup on windows and just overwrite all the files in zara_cl442/zara_cl442 and then reboot back into recovery again.
9) Restore the Backup you made and overwrote with the KitKat TWRP backup
10) go into fastboot and go back to Duir's drive located here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-kSF8g8H7KuME12ai1OVHVqd3M&usp=sharing and grab KK_stock_boot.img and then flash that by issuing fastboot flash boot KK_stock_boot.img in a command prompt
11) Reboot into the System and it should work

That's what I was wondering. I'm alright with re-rooting afterward (and after that I'm going S-OFF so I can use Viper4Android).
On a side note, has anyone noticed higher battery consumption with KitKat? My wife (who is unrooted and generally doesn't mess with her phone) updated and her battery died twice yesterday with no real increase in usage.

Well...since you are Sprint you probably unlocked via HTC dev. You can flash your unlock token again which will allow you to flash a custom recovery. You can then flash the current rooted Rom and use sunshine to s off again. The hard option is flashing an older Rom to use firewater as doing so will make your phone reboot about every thirty seconds because of the firmware mismatch. I can help you get it done that way if you want...up to you. Six of one half dozen of the other. You can almost always fix a phone that still boots to hboot and is unlockable. You won't have adb in the current mode either btw....

You are on the current firmware... So you would need a current ruu to do that. Does your phone show unlocked now?

hi
if you're bootloader showing unlocked try to install twrp recovery image
and then try to download stock nandroid rom for you're Sprint mobile then place it in you're mobile using adb push command then restore the the rom that you have placed at the end flash the image boot from the bootloader and you're done.

yeah im fairly sure it says unlocked and tampered at the top of hboot, and it also says s-on some how. i tried fastboot command oem unluck and that didnt change it, i feel like this s-on nonsense is my main problem.

Don't wipe system especially. Reboot to boot loader. Choose reboot boot loader. Go back into recovery and flash. Don't wipe anything
