Pleeeease help - phone bricked!

[Guest Nikki Locke]

When I turn my Desire on, it comes up with the black screen, with the circular red logo on it, and just stops.

Is there any way to get back from here?

I bought the phone second hand, and tried to root it, and this happened.

check if it is rooted:

On your desire, enter fastboot by pressing power & back buttons from bootup.

Then press power then with power to select & volume to go up/down, navigate to where it says 'RECOVERY'.

got the info from this thread

Thanks. Recovery stuck too. Got it sorted in another thread.
