Good morning...this is my first Thread in this forums, so i'd like to say hello to eyerybode...
The need to make an account here came today, as i wanted to flash the baadnwz SenseHD rom onto my HTC Desire (PVT4 - S-ON, HBOOT 0.93).
I used Unrevoked and the modified version of Clockwork Recovery (2.5.1.3)
Now i have got a serious problem.
I have no access to the SD Card, SIM Card does not work (Carrier does not work), no USB access and thus no ADB/Fastboot access.
I read a whole bunch of tutorials on how to unbrick my desire, but they all need USB/ADB/SD support...what should i do?
I can use Windows XP and Mac OS...
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: SD Support & Carrier works, USB is still down. I am following the guide here in the forums, but i have an O2 Germany Software, so my CID differs form the one shown in the guide...how do i edit the mtd0 correctly, because the final command "/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img" returns an error "new line expected..."
I take it that this was your first time rooting?
Can you switch on your phone? If you can try to do a factory reset in settings.
Have you tried taking out the sd card/sim card and using them on another phone?
You might need to create a goldcard to try and get your phone back to working order. Lots of tutorials on the web.
Side note: Was your rooting process successful? If so, can you go into recovery? Switch off phone, Press Vol Down + Power button.
friedkimchi, thanks for your reply.
I can switch on the phone. it boots up, the only thing that does not work is the usb support.
I was following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639 guide to unbrick it. It gave me back SD Card support, but the commands (cat /sdcard/...etc) do not have any effect on the usb support...
Maybe i am editing the mtd0.img file in the wrong way...my CID is O2__12, so what should i do?

run the o2 RUU again from shipped roms to return it to stock and fix misc
once done start again and use the standard 2.5.0.7 clockwork mod or use amonRA 2.0.1
all other revisions of clockworkmod have problems
if you have s-off you could rename that img to misc.img and do "flastboot flash misc misc.img"
are you o2 DE or o2 uk? i thought its supposed top be o2___01
Hey,
i am on S-ON, so i guess i cannot flash the .img via fastboot...
My carrier is O2 Germany, i already downloaded the latest RUU, but since i have no USB connection, the RUU Utility returns a 171 connection error and gets stuck at the beginning ("rebooting bootloader...or so).
Is there any possibility to flash the content of an RUU via SD Card?
The easiest way would be to reactivate USB support...but this does not work as described in the USB Brick Fix tutorial...
I'm stuck at a nearly 99% brick I think...
I've got an AMOLED Desire from T-Mobile Germany (still branded), with HBOOT 0.80.0000, rooted via Unrevoked and still S-ON.
The phone gets stuck during the boot process when the provider-splashscreen (or HTC-Logo) is shown at the beginning. Only pulling out the battery will shut the phone down.
The same happens when I try to get into Recovery via HBOOT. The only option is to pull the battery.
If I connect the phone via USB and enter Fastboot it is recognized by the computer with the command "fastboot devices".
I can't use ADB, because I can't access the recovery.
I downloaded the right RUU for my provider/amoled/hboot 0.80.0000 Desire (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed) and extracted the ROM.zip from the installer. I renamed the file to PB99IMG.zip and manually moved it to the SDcard using my computer.
But, when I enter HBOOT the file is recognized and extracted, but then it fails ...due to an "incorrect CID".
The same happens if I manually execute the RUU....exe under Windows with my phone plugged in via USB. (It's error code 131 in the flash program of the RUU....exe).
A very helpful user (cargo) of a german Android forum (www.android-hilfe.de - link to his posting) assumed that my HBOOT is not correctly displayed and I might have a "newer" one than 0.80.0000
This leaves me quite without any option than to flash HTC RUU 2.29.405.5, which brings HBOOT 0.93.0001...(but I may be able to downgrade again.)
But this flash process is only possible if I have a Goldcard, which I actually don't have at the moment
Is there any way to create a Goldcard for my device in my actual position (only fastboot working, no boot to run the system, no adb working, no recovery access)?
Every howto explaining the goldcard crating process requires either working adb or even a running system for apps like "goldcard helper" or being able to use "terminal emulator"
I would be very very thankful for every bit of help
Maybe there is some way
Thanks in advance guys!
I believe that goldcards are specific to the card and not the phone(read it somewere on here) so it should be possible to make one without using your phone.

As far as I know you need the phone for your goldcard. At least it was said in the tutorial I was following a few months back. You need to connect the phone to get the serial number (through ADB shell) which you will need to hex-reverse and put it on your SD card image.
To be honest, they are more sophisticated methods now (as I read) creating a goldcard, but since unrEVOked, i do not follow that part.
And by the way, why don't you flash the HTC RUU 2.29.405.5? 0.93 HBOOT can be downgraded. But with the latest tools you can S-Off, root & whatever with that HBOOT, too.
I just tried flashing the HTC RUU 2.29.405.5 with the PB99IMG-method.
But I get an error "CID incorrect"
I treid to execute the HTC RUU.exe and I get again error code 131...which means something like "user-ID error"
But I could grab a screenshot of the actual "version" of the RUU...or what is this?
Thanks guys
CID incorrect? Your phone is unbranded or branded? Because I found this:
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID
Every device contains a short string that identifies the operator who sold it. Because the same device is sold by different operators, this prevents users from flashing a T-Mobile ROM to a device that was sold by Orange, for example. You probably need to Install a HardSPL or CID Unlock your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I recommend to find a RUU for your device (e.g Vodafone, T-mobile etc.)
Also:
ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the update. The RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the Android phone. Make sure you use the correct RUU to update.

If it's saying wrong CID then it's branded, simple as that
1. Boot your phone in fastboot
2. Run the ruu that matches your phone.
You need a T-mobile branded ruu.
You can look here for one that matches. http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
I think you can try an UK one, because it is multilingual.
If it is giving you the same errors, then you picked a wrong version.

well it said "incorrect cid" even with a t-mobile branded ruu :/
If you are rooted, then boot into the bootloader and flash a custom rom. Then create a gold card.

Yes, try that too, if you can.
Also use a NOA2SD Rom if you dont have ext partition. Or create one on your PC (if you want to use an A2SD ROM).
How can I flash a Rom using the bootloader?
Simply rename the zipped Image of a custom Rom into "PB99IMG.zip", put in on the SDcard and boot into HBOOT?
Thank you

Yes, if you rooted with unrEVOked. Boot in to recovery (clockworkMOD/AmonRa) wipe all data and flash a CUSTOM rom.
You don't have to rename it, it can be anything as soon as it is .zip

Uhm...flashing a custom rom in general is no problem...but i can't access Recvoery
as described in the initial post of the thread only the bootloader (HBOOT) and fastboot are working.

Yeah, sorry, my bad.
Well you can try to falsh it via PB99IMG.zip, but i won't think it work.
your only hope is finding a working RUU. (at least seems to me, if you can access only fastboot).
Hi all, have same trouble with flashing via PB99IMG, but in my case, the device normally loads the firmware and returned to fastbut. When you try to go to recovery device hangs on the logo. Фfter removing the battery and re-attempt to restart the device, it begins to vibrate 7 times and then freezes on the logo. What do these vibration?
PB99IMG.zip will work as you don't need recovery. Just put it on the root of your SD card and boot into HBOOT. It'll find the file and flash it
did renaming rom to pb99img nd flash via hboot work for you?
i have a similar problem, rather same prob, only fastboot available
To let this thread maintain usefullness for future readers:
The solution was to take a goldcard from a friend and flash the right (matching hboot, provider and version) RUU, by using the PB99IMG method.
By this the phone will be set back to it's delivery state! This will include the Rom, all data in the NAND storage the recovery and everything else, which got modified like getting root access or S-OFF etc.
Troubles were caused by USB-Brick or an error on my old ext3 partition or maybe even corrupt data in my Titanium file-backup I restored a few days before the crash :/
I can't clearly say what is the main cause...maybe it was a combination of all.
If you don't have got any chance of getting another goldcard (yes the goldcard creation does NOT depend on the devices! It can be created with ANY android phone ) you are really screwed.
My advice: Always keep a spare microSD card, equipped with it's goldcard image around!
Because I was not able to find any method to echo the CID (Id of the SDcard) in fastboot.
Greetings
And good luck to all of you having comparable issues
Hello,
I've had some strange issues with my phone lately, random reboots, hangs etc.
I was s-off by Alpharev and running Oxygen!
Trying to sort of this issues I wanted to reset the phone completely by installing the default RUU and start over again.
I downloaded all European RUUs as I didn't know which one to use. The problem is, I have tried them all now, but they all fail with error code 110. The code appears when copying the system files, at about 70 percent.
All I've got now is the silver HTC logo and some icons in each corner when I try to start it. I have lost both fastboot and recovery meny it seems.
Anyone have any suggestions? Hope I didn't f*** my phone completely!
Thanks in advance.

need to have the right ruu and then flash some nice tut on above links.
another way to do is to use PB99IMG file extracted from ruu (be sure you got the right one)
depend on the stock firmware was on device. U do need to remember.

hope this help
Use this.. and do a MD5 check with below for donwloaded file
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
MD5 14d740a8ec68bd8cc830ff7c0905df72
Coz I think you are flashing OTA files and not the full ROM.. Try above
I have downloaded and tried the Rom you suggested but still no luck. This are the numbers described in the updater: 2.29.405.5 to 2.29.405.2.
Now I got another error message at the end; Error 152 (rom error) Says it can't update the phone!
Any other suggestions?
As I've said, can't get into either fastboot or recovery!
After I disconnect the usb cable the white "fastboot" screen appear with the installation info:

Hi guys, wonder if you can help me. I have a HTC Desire (GSM) and rooted it, removed UK O2 branding and putting Froyo (2.2) on it and a new radio and Clockwork Mod Recovery. I messed around - thought I’d bricked it following a dodgy flash, as couldn't boot, get into recovery or anything, with the phone looping at the HTC logo and powering on until I took the battery out.
Thought I’d look at it today and made progress, but still can’t get a RUU to install on it. I can get into Recovery menu via bootloader and I think the SDcard is a goldcard. Issues I have are:
• I can’t flash a RUU onto the phone from running the file through Windows, as I constantly get an Error 170 USB Connection error. I’ve tried reinstalling HTC Sync, trying different versions, tried a different USB cable and port. I’ve tried running HTC Sync as Admin, and in compatibility mode under XP SP 2 and updated the driver in Control Panel and it displays as “My HTC”, nothing works. I am running Windows 7 64 Bit.
• I tried putting the RUU onto the phone as a PB99IMG.zip file and running it through Recovery, but I get a message saying “bad file”
• As soon as I put a file onto the SD card, Ext3 then won’t mount with an error message and I have to repartition the SD card in Windows (Using Mini-tool Partition Wizard). The error I get is "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!” I can fix it, but soon after it is fixed it reverts back to error it I add any files to root of the SD card to run through Recovery.
I just want to get the phone back working, whether it is branded or unbranded, and whatever RUU I can get working on it. Can anyone advise the steps I can take from here please?
My stats/versions are:
HBoot 0.93.0001
Radio 5.09.00.08
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7
S=On
Thanks,
Stewart
Tried downloading the RUU again? I recommend to check md5sum afterwards.
Sent from Sandvold's ICS using Transparent XDA App
Thanks MatDroid, I've managed to get past the 171 error and now getting a 131 error, saying it is the incorrect ROM. Is there somewhere I can get confirmation of the correct ROM for my device and check MD5sum before loading?
I would look at putting on another recovery, something like 4ext touch. Google it, your current clockwork recovery is pretty dated. Look at a program called android flasher, and you will be able to flash a new recovery through that.
Once you get the new recovery working, there is an option to toggle USB storage in which you can put your custom from on the SD card. Once the custom from is on your SD card, flash it through recovery. Hopefully it should work
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
you should really look at my guide, you don't flash RUU zip files through recovery.
just realised you are s- on so android flasher won't work. Therefore until you s-off your phone, as mattdroid said you may have a bad download for the ruu. Try downloading ruu again nd running the exe file

Yeah just realised that too sorry for the wrong information. he is only wanting a ruu which of course is not done through recovery with the exe file. Custom rom is a different story.

Thanks guys I've figured it out and have now succesfully got the phone working.
Issues were:
I was trying to flash the wrong RUU (a 2.09 instead of 2.10) so when flashing it was rejecting as a lower version. Using the right RUU worked
My SDcard wasn't a goldcard - I thought it was but apparently not. I re-created the goldcard and it worked
I was trying to flash from the wrong place - instead of through FastBoot USB I was going into Clockwork Mod and loading files, mucking around with the mountings and things like that
All great now, so thanks again.

I was doing a first-time root. CWM installed OK. Then I did something TOTALLY STUPID...and the end result is perm. Splash screen.
On normal power-up, it's stuck on Splash screen white backgound with green "HTC".
It won't go any further.
Tried Recovery but didn't do BACK-UP!! I don't have access to another phone that supports micro-SD, to transfer the file to SD, insert in HTC and use it with Recovery CWM that way?? (Guessing)
I don't know any fastboot/ recovery commands for cmd prompt to send new ROM to the phone.

Yes, in Recovery>Mounts & Storage, there is an option to mountSD.
I didn't see what this would do. BUT I did mounted the SD, re-ran Marvel.exe- in both Recovery AND normal power on Splash screen.
But I still got the same error message as before: "USB CONNECTION FAILED".
I think I need a command that works in cmd like the one on the Unlock BootLoader stage: e.g. the two-fold cd \Android & \Android>fastboot oem get_ etc.

Tried to install ROM from zip:
I got:
E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip
(status 0)
Any ideas what happened?
Spent the evening/night trying a few different things.
Tried a different ROM, on a different SD Card- so as not to jeopardize the copy I have.
So I download, via the Galaxy S4,:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe from
www.androidruu.com/?developer=Marvel_MarvelC[/url]
Put the card in the HTC & the download was not listed on the SDCard!
It's definitely there- rechecked it in the S4!
I thought maybe the Wildfire could not see it for some reason so made a folder with the S4, called it Xda & copied the file into it.
So there are now two copies- #1 directly on the card & #2 in the new Xda folder.
I put the card back in the HTC Wildfire & yet again neither were showing. #1 still did not show & although the Xda folder WAS there, the phone read it as having no files!!
So, I thought there might be a problem with either the card OR the downloaded file.
SO....
I got the original SD Card that has the marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip on it, that failed to load earlier, & I downloaded:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe from shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Marvel
Once again, when I put the SD Card into the Wildfire- NOTHING. No file, yet, according to the S4 it's there- right above the marvel from earlier.
Strange? I can not work it out. There is no dot/ full stop before the name on either download on either SD card- a method to hide files apparently on the S4.
At least I've got one working? copy from earlier but THAT still returns the message:
E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip (status 0)
Have not found a direct PC to phone method yet either.

Hi,
AFAIK, you will not be able to flash an .exe file from the SD card, there were meant to be used on a PC for flashing through the USB cable, so you will only be able to flash .zip files from the SD card.
The E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip (status 0) error is usually associated with a bad META-INF folder inside the zip file, meaning that either the signature file is corrupted, there is something wrong in the any of the files inside this folder, or just the whole zip file is corrupted. CWM is preventing you from doing something wrong.
Try to download and flash the file again, wait for more answers and, as a last resort, try with a different zip file (search for exactly the same rom) or another version in the thread that @csoulr666 posted (options 1 or 2).
Regards.
Still looking for an answer to my USB issue. In the meantime I tried 1 of uk_yo tachibana's suggestions
Downloaded a fresh copy of marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip & clicked install zip from SD card.
This time I got:
--Installing: /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
The handset has been like this since around 10.05 am. I was expecting something else to happen by now (3 hours + later)
I will leave it a while longer, before I try another file.
I assume it has crashed again?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I've been trying various downloads & ways, yesterday and today. Read umpteen threads & websites.
I've tried multiple downloads of the files. I've used two SD Cards (to verify that SD was not an issue). Also, used both with all files via 2 browsers- Chrome & FireFox, as 1 thread I read recommended that the questionair tries downloading the files with another browser; as either the files are corrupt or the download was- as they too kept getting the "Installation aborted (Status 0)" error.
example of what I keep getting:
Insert SDcard to WildfireS. HBOOT>Recovery
(every time) I do the four wipes...
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition completed
(Advanced)
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
+++++Go Back+++++
Then I click:
- Install zip from sdcard
My options
- choose zip from sdcard
- apply /sdcard/update.zip
- toggle signiture verification
- toggle script asserts
-+++++Go Back+++++
I click:
- choose zip from sdcard
I get my list of files/folders on sdcard
I choose:
(example) marvel_signed_021213_015156.zip
the handset then starts:
--Installing: /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_015156.zip

Opening update package...

and also:
marvel_perfect_stock.zip
from: [ROM][STOCK 2.3.5]marvel perfectly stock rom... not even rooted!!! by member rjshrjndrn
Even though, later in the thread, the OP says it's not flashable from SD Card as it isn't .img & says renaming is not an option. Just thought I would give it a shot!
I'm looking into "how to rip a PG76IMG off from %temp%"?.
(a) Not sure how to do this yet
(b) If it will even work
HOWEVER, marvel_perfect_stock.zip SHOULD work as is; as a zip- so I put a copy in my PC folder (with the rest of my files-fastboot, adb, cwm etc.).
I just don't know how to use it- there must be some kind of cmd prompt instruction, but it is not listed.
Still can not get past the Marvel_RUU wizard's error from earlier yet, either!
Thanks.
Hello.
On the SD Card side of things, I have read threads that suggest, after multiple downloads [even through different browsers] of a file still return the (Status 0)/ (bad)- that maybe my cwm version needs updating, in order to push the chosen file through.
After doing a "Google search" for cwm for wildfire s download, I got two main options:
1) clockworkmod.com/rommanager BUT, this only offers ver: 5.0.2.8 which is already the one I have.
2) code.google.com/p/cm9-wildfire-s/downloads/detail?name...cwm...THIS gives me a download: Unoffical ClockworkMod v6.0.0.7 Recovery for Marvel.
The file is PG76IMG-cwm-6.0.0.7-UNOFFICIAL-marvel.zip 4.5 MB. [You need to rename it to PG76IMG.zip and copy it to your SD card.]
Now I have already downloaded it [via Firefox on Galaxy S4, renamed as instructed & put on SD]
I JUST HAVE NOT installed/ ran it yet on the Wildfire S as I'm unsure if it's safe to do so OR even if I SHOULD mess around further with the handset/ WORKING Recovery [esp. as the file states UNOFFICIAL CwM]!
Any thoughts on this, as I'm running out of options for solutions?
Thanks.
Aaaah NEARLY!!!!!!!
Found this thread:
Htc wildfire s Stock rom by member gabontz_vl
It advised to go to follow this link:
androidforums.com/wildfire-s-...ed-device.html
So I did this and I followed it's advice and got the Wizard working:
HAD TO ***Relocked*** my Bootloader gurrrr! Will have to unlock again when I have my ROM back!
HTC Android Phone ROM Update Utility 1.0.5.2011
Current information about your Android phone:
Image version:
19.26.401.3
<Click update>
From 19.26.401.3
to
2.26.401.3
Phone restarts; "HTC" appears on black screen
Wizard says the process will take 10 mins to update
BUT after NEARLY working, it failed saying:
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update cannot update your Android phone.
Please get correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
Note the wizard matched my ROM & Radio perfectly.
Have not messed with HBOOT. It's still the original 1.09.0099.
Where do I go from here?
Thanks

Try using a zip extracted from an RUU
1. First download and run an RUU on your computer(the latest one you can find)
2. After the first window pops up, close it
3. Then in "Run" type "%temp%"
4. In there find a file named "ROM.zip"
5. Rename it to "PG76IMG.zip"
6. Put it on the root of the SDcard(no folders)
7. Now boot into the bootloader
8. It will check and ask you to flash the file, press the Vol up button
9. And you'll get a completely stock rom
Do make sure that your bootloader is Relocked when you do this, you can unlock it using the same unlock code

I've just spotted the reply, thank you for the advice csoulr666.
Yes I will do this now & let you know how I get on.
Again, thanks.
Thanks again to csoulr666.
Followed the instructions to the letter.
After powering on in HBOOT, the handset automatically began "checking...PG76IMG.zip". A load-bar appeared at the top-righthand corner of the screen. When checking completed, I got:
Main Version is older!
Update fail!
Press <power> to reboot.
Now, I extracted from RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe-
as the stats for my software were ROM: 2.26.401.3 & Radio 7.57.39.10M.
A perfect match. So what is this "Main Version is older" referring to?
I am a little confused.
Thanks.

Try using one that is newer than your current version
Thank you to csoulr666 for the advice. I apologise for the delay in responding (as I saw this at 9am). I have spent the day (& most of last night ) on Google, reading umpteen threads-
"googling": ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR/ The ROM Update cannot update your Android phone/ Main Version is older/ ruu could not update my rom version/ latest stock rom for wildfire s/ htc wildfire s newest update/ original stock rom for htc wildfire s/ stock roms for wildfire s/ HTC Wildfire S Software newer than 2.26.401.3/ update from 2.26.401.3/ update android 2.3 6/ download android 2.3 6 for htc wildfire s.
The latest RUU IS 2.26.401.3. That is the one I am using, both as RUU, & to extract the ROM to .zip. I can not find ANY NEWER RUU.
I am unclear as to what "Try using one that is newer than your current version" referrs to, sorry; so I could only reason that it must be the Android version.
As the RUU is the latest- 2.26, it should surely contain ver:2.3.5. If it's not, which the error messge implies it's not?, I'm not sure how to check the Android version contained within nor how to replace it as I can not find a seperate 2.3.5 file. I can not find an Android 2.3.5 file download, nor how to update an RUU in .exe form or an independant ROM .zip ripped from it, .
I am now really stuck & fresh out of ideas.
Thanks

Did you get this sorted?
I too had the same problems as you. I am on the same HBOOT and radio and my Cid is O2__001 (UK) and all the errors you encountered were the same for me.
I got it working tonight by creating a GOLDCARD SD card (search XDA/Google for it and use Youtube to find out how to create one) and using the Rom extracted from the latest RUU 2.26.401.3.
Now im totally stock.
If you need anymore help PM me.
