HTC Desire Stuck on boot screen?

A

AC Question

Hi everyone...
Complete ageing newbie here so please be gentle.
I've just been given a HTC Desire that can't seem to get past the boot screen.
By doing a bit of research, here's what I know about the phone. The bootloader has been unlocked and it's been rooted. It also has a ROM called MildWild installed I believe.
I have manged to access recovery mode and it says it is running ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
If I attempt to activate any of the options in recovery, i.e. 'wipe cache partition', I get taken to a screen showing half an orange circle wearing a top hat if that means anything to anyone.
It doesn't actually do anything else from this point and if I press the power button it just takes me back to the list of options to reboot, apply update from sdcard etc.
The only other thing to add is that the previous owner removed the SD card when he gave me the phone so I'm not sure if it contained information that is needed for the phone to boot.

That's about as much as I can tell you I'm afraid and was wondering if anyone could help me to get the phone working again.

Many thanks in advance.
