I just updated my HTC Desire today to the newest firmware. However, on booting up the phone I get this message saying:

Sorry!
-------------
The application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly.
Please try again.
                                 Force Close

When you force close it pops up again in <1sec and keeps looping like this. Sometimes you can pull down the notification bar and open a text or email, but com.htc.messaging and com.htc.mail produce similar error messages.

I have googled for some answers, but the search and menu buttons do not work, I do not have an alternate window manager and cannot install anything using adb (permission is denied). I tried many hard resets and factory resets but to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • @Dan: It was an official HTC update on an unrooted phone to 2.29.405.1. It went wrong and damaged some library that all HTC apps depending on, I think.
