Ok, i unlocked my bootloader then this started happening.
This build is for development purpose only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action.
After it does this, it does nothing else. If im lucky enough i can get it to boot the bootloader. It takes a while for me even to get it to turn on. I think i may have flashed a bad kernel or something. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. (RUU installer says my HBOOT version is " ", not sure what that meant)
What i did before it happened:
Unlocked the bootloader
got the "This build is for development purpose only" message
**Problems started here**
Flashed CWM (worked for a short time and gave up)
Tried flashing CM10 with no luck
Tried to flash a boot.img (not sure which one i tried)
**and here**
(I will update this if i get it to boot..)
Check this forum for a solution and just for clarity it IS the Desire C you have and NOT Desire C Cricket?
If you don't have any joy with what is in the forum to get your phone up and running send me a PM

So here's the deal.
it's a long story, but i happened in a short time.
I was unlocking my bootloader and stuff on my nexus one on my mac. using the boot loader.
I used the superboot to unlock it.
and so i succeed in that.
i didn't bother with the install-superboot-mac.sh thing.
i didn't know that by then.
so i went on to search about the cyanogenmod 7, and i can't get the radio refreshed. i read the article in the cm forum.
so, i saw this post somewhere,(...read hundreds of posts now)
that tells me to use the rom manager thing.
so i downloaded it, and i tells me that my phone is not rooted!
so i was wondering how this happened.
i searched online, and i found this post telling me to use that install.bat(which is for windows, mac is the one i mentioned above) thing after i unlock the bootloader.
i was a bit scared.
but i went on to the fast boot manu and i connect my computer,
i put the directory in, and then i threw the install-superboot-mac.sh thing in my phone, successful, so i rebooted my phone.
And after the first not-ANIMATED start up screen, which is the staying-X and the unlocked symbol at the bottom, the screen goes black.
i was not sure what happened. so i pullout the battery and booted it again.
same thing.
it was not until the third time i opened it and waited for it, i realized that it was my screen that's not working!
After the stable X, the system goes to the animated one, but my screen is blacked out, so i can't see.
The bottoms on the phone are still working , yet i can't see a thing!
I can still open the fastboot/bootloader screen, but after that, nothing!
the recovery don't work, it's just an android with the sign.
I'm very worried about this situation.
please reply to me!!
i really need help, since i know nothing about this.
I just thought that 2.3's cool and now i got this....
here's some info that might help,
i have the korean version of the phone, it was cheaper and stuff.
didn't notice a different except that there's no 3g?
i don't really know what's the deal with it.
but it seems to be special or something.
The phone is unlocked, but my computer fails to find it using the adb devices.
im not sure if my phone is usb debbuging.
probably yes.
Everytime i try to load the recovery, it tells me to wait for device.
I really need help!!
OK... so you might have messed up your firmware... no worries... get a custom recovery (like AmonRA recovery)... flash it using fastboot... pop in a custom ROM like CM... flash and reboot...
the thing is i can't load the recovery or the mods. so here's the problem
Do as Craig said.
Put phone into the bootloader screen. White screen with skateboarding androids.
Do your thing with fastboot.
Reboot directly into the freshly flashed recovery and install a ROM.

I've read the wiki, but is my phone compatible with the rom?
my phone's korean version..
im not sure if i can.
and i certainly can't afford another adversity.

It will work just fine, your phone isn't bricked and will be working fine in no time if you follow the advice in the posts above.
Edit: Am I the only one who wants the word 'Bricked' explicitly defined for the xda forums?
and also, since my screen is out, im not sure of weather my back up data thing is on or not, and usb debugging also
i've tried the ROMs, but the three i tried don't work.
downloading more, but i doubt if there's difference.
the device doesn't tell me to install the update, instead it just goes back to the bootloader screen

K, they don't really work, after checking the rom, my phone just goes back to the screen that showed up when i pressed power and volumn down
Why do people insist on receiving their instructions on a golden spoon?
Do you think you're the first one ever that got his phone corrupted? Maybe the second?
Go to Wiki, download FRG33, proceed with instructions for PASSIMG method. PUT ATTENTION THAT YOU'RE NAMING THE FILE RIGHT!
These instructions have been given in 800000000 threads by now. Look for the thread about moving from Vodafone OS version to stock Google OS. Search the forum with the words "restore stock".
What exactly are you doing?
You have a few pieces of advice that will work, but you're not really giving any details about what you are actually trying...?

CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
<VOL UP> Yes
<VOL DOWN> No
this shows up a couple of times also
Why ask for help if you're not going to do what people tell you?
With a unlocked bootloadet flash a custom recovery.
Reboot DIRECTLY into that.
Wipe and flash any rom you want.
If you don't know how to do any of the above search or read the wiki.

As albundy2010 suggested - if you have the bootloader unlocked (I didn't notice that part in the OP), just follow the guide for unlocked bootloader - fastboot flash all the partitions on the device manually. The guide is in the same place, but a different one - this time use "for unlocked bootloader".
tHANKS man!
I was such a f-in idiot...
now i can finally boot into the recovery..
I got it.. thanks guys
It's a tough flashing world out there, hey rec
I am glad you got it working
I've tried every guide, and every step twice. I can't get past the white HTC screen. I can get into the bootloader, and recovery screens.
Just don't know where to go next.
very frustrated, and not looking forward to an hours drive to the tech area to get it fixed.

hi enter to the bootloader - fastboot and make it lock with this command ( fastboot oem lock ) and then download and run roger ruu stock
(http://hotfile.com/dl/145619873/245....77.551061.02L_release_219561_signed.exe.html)
like that it should be back to the stock.
Well I'm not entirely sure why it worked this time - lord knows i tried every combination of commands at least twice.
I'm back at setup for Rogers - guess I'll have to learn to live with the low volume issue - which is what prompted me to look for a root to begin with.
Thank you for the assistance at least getting me back to square 1
Boot into fastboot, and flash stock kernel. Or flas recovery to install Rom. guess u'r in bootloop. Cmiiw

Hi Guys,
I have a problem where my internal earphone stopped working after flashing the kernel to a different one. still on the stock ICS ROM though.
Would this download put me back to stock as well. I am running a HTC Velocity (Vivid).
I know this is a noobish question just literally plucking straws here now. been trying to get the earphone working for a day now.
Having the same Problem
I am having the same problem with my Phone except I don't think USB debugging is activated somehow got turned off.. Anyone know to tunr it back on because I can only acess HBoot and Recovery. i see alot of tutorials that say oh just do this.. But my phone won't connect...

Go to recovery and plug it in. Run ADB and type adb devices. It should say
"List of devices attached"
*Serial number below*
If your serial number pops up it's connected. If it doesn't then it could be your drivers aren't installed. I had that problem and downloading the drivers again fixed it.

You would need the RUU.exe for the Vivid. Not the Raider.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-vivid-att/software-updates
Underneath "HTC Vivid™ for AT&T ROM Update | 03.22.2012" click read more in green. Go to the bottom and click download. That is the ICS stock RUU for AT&T Vivid.
it worked
It worked. It break the screen loop. First I relocked. The RUU install the ICS. Now at hboot show: S-ON RL
Could you please tell me what next? I am terrified to get back to the past loop... haha

You can't as far as I'm aware , just ignore it till it boots into your chosen rom , it does no harm unless you plan to lock the phone and sell it where I would guess it will disappear ?

First download a recovery image. Save it in the platform tools folder of your android SDK install.
Go to bootloader, plug your USB cable into the PC, enter fastboot. On your PC navigate to the platform tools folder again, Ctrl+shift + right click and select "open command window here", or something similar. Type fastboot devices to see if your phone is connected. Then fastboot erase cache and fastboot flash recovery <name of your recovery image>.img plug out your cable and try to boot into recovery.
Should fix it

Hi to all, I am using htc desire c golfu and I am facing a problem with cwm red message "this build is for development purposes only" specially when i am trying to install via fastboot any boot.img (such as kernel or rom image that is responsible for wifi to work and the phone doesn't boot to homescreen, reboots again with the htc logo and cwm red message below)!. (As with Nameless rom guide,What i haven't done in those two ways i tried to install the images was to take out the battery, I boot to bootloader by holding volume down + Power!
So, what I had to do 2 times, was to relock and flash again the stock rom!
P.S. I don't have a problem installing rom zips with sdcard
Thanks for the help!

You need to have your bootloader unlocked. Install a custom rom and then install a kernel. Make sure you full wipe before you install the rom. Try the lowest possible frequency. Make sure you have the correct kernel.

I have to mention that I have done the root two times (I have a backup, full wipe with cwm and then flash zip from the card), but i stacked when I had to flash the boot.img (first was when I have flashed the "auto boot img" from revolution mod 3vs3 for fixing the wifi & second when I wanted to flash a nope kernel img with revolution job rom)! It's like the phone doesn't want the command boot.img (even though I see on my screen that it has been flashed but when I reboot, cwm red message appears)!
Try lower MHz kernel

That is a normal message for the splash screen in which we get for unlocking our bootloaders, as far as i'm concerned, the cricket Desire C is CDMA so the usual recoveries wont be compatible with it.

This is the stock recovery, but I don't think it will do you much good. A factory reset only wipes user data. What happens when you select normal boot? Does it give you adb access?

Hello Everyone,
Ok so not sure where to start, umm yesterday i decided to root my phone i have the HTC Desire C from Cricket wireless. I was successful at unlocking my bootloader and rooting the device. Now for some reason im unable to flash a custom rom or whatever to my device, not sure if im doing something wrong, but i must have screwed something up because i cant even perform a factory reset or a hard reset to the device at all, and the google play store no longer works and the sync icon never goes away. Now when i attempt to flash the custom rom the clockwork recovery tool wont allow me to do a full wipe which i believe must be completed before you can even install the roms.
any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
