Ok I installed Froyo but now when my phone boots I keep getting the message "Process system is not responding". So I decided to format my sd card and boot it up again. Still got the message. So I tried Factory Reset. When I booted up again it hadn't reset anything and I still get the error.
I was on 2.1 stock wwe rom not rooted.
How can this be fixed as my phone now doesnt work correctly.
Is there an ruu of froyo available anwhere?
Ok I rebooted into recovery and cleared storage. My phone booted but this time it actually did clear storage but now I'm still getting the error message.
Just too add aswell. My phone Keeps rebooting every 10 minutes now.
Sounds like the same problem that I am having.
Also on upgrade from the WWE unrooted version of 2.1 and on Orange.
Not looking good atm
Same problem here...
My Desire is just debrandet.

Just out of curiosity, did you have your 2.1 setup to keep a backup of your settings?
Because I'm pretty sure thats where my problem lies. But if you didn't have that option enabled it can't be that.
I didnt think Orange were pushing out Froyo updates just yet?
Any1 Know if we can Downgrade?
Same problem here, mine is a debranded unrooted Desire on O2. I also can't connect to the mobile network or WIFI.

Dont forget to use goldcard while updating previously branded phones
I didnt use my gold card while installing the OTA update and now i have the same problem, it reboots every 5 minutes or so, no wifi or mobile connection. Previously on o2 and just unbranded with HTC stock rom prior to update.
Any ideas how I can go back and reinstall, or get it to work?! I tried putting the goldcard in and restarting but that makes no difference.
My storage card isnt recognised either so not sure i can try and force the 1.21 WWE back on over USB...
got exactly the same problem as you lot. never used a goldcard so im assuming it was that. will wait till i get home and then try and force the 1.21 WWE back on with my goldcard and then see if OTA works with goldcard. till 7pm i have a suck in a loop resetting Bricked desire
Same problem on debranded vodaphone.
Doesnt appear to recognise my sim but miraculously i have recieved a call.
Doesnt recognise my storage card.
Reboots every few minutes.
I debranded my phone using a gold card even though i wasnt 100% sure that it was branded. Then flashed WWE ROM.
HELP!!!
Noob question, but why do we need to use a goldcard to perform updates on a previously branded device? I thought once we unbranded our device our phone was standard?
I downgrade by putting my goldcard in and rebooted phone holding volume down key and selected fastboot then ran the 2.1 RUU.exe and it worked. So now im gonna try the ota again with goldcard inserted and I'll let you know what happens.
got the same problem, just bought this phone few days ago and updated it like an hour ago. i bought it debranded. any help?

Hello
Few days ago I was prompted to install update 2.10.405.2. After the installation I can't enable wifi anymore; it simply says error. I just got my phone 2 weeks ago on an Orange contract (from mobiles.co.uk), but when I contacted HTC they said that my phone should be a branded and locked O2 Desire. HTC said that because my phone was unbranded the update messed my phone. Is that possible?
I noticed that quite a few people are affected by this, but the guy from HTC wouldn't say if they are aware of this problem or if they are working on a fix. They "escalated" the call but haven't contacted me back yet.
Is there a way to simply uninstall the update?
I read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779787 but I wouldn't want to downgrade to 2.1 (I just got this phone 2 weeks ago, plus this is my first Android so...) wouldn't that invalidate my warranty ?
Please advise,
Thanks
If your Desire was a previously branded handset then you need your gold card in the unit for ALL updates. This is why the handset is having issues...
I didn't know that.
Why was I given a previously branded phone in the first place, if this could cause problems like this?
Anyway, I made my main microSD card a gold card now... for future updates. Does this gold card just needs to be in the device when you update, or you need to do something else as well ?
Is there a way to simply uninstall this bloody update?
You just need the gold card in the unit...Don't suppose you happen to know the software version that was on the unit when you got it do you?
Unfortunately no. But this was the first and only update that I got, if that helps.
Same issue here, is a hard reset/reflash the only solution? I'd rather not lose my files and stuff, ofcourse.
It would be either 1.21.405.2 or 2.09.405.8 I'd imagine...
CPW own mobiles.co.uk so it should've been an unbranded device - mine was from a CPW store and was unbranded - so it may have not been a branded unit. Follow this guide and if it completes with no issues you're on an unbranded unit (it will roll you back to Android 2.1 and you can then flash the Android 2.2 RUU file directly (or try the OTA update again)*
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
* You will lose all data, mind, so backup what you need before doing this
Will this invalidate my warranty?
I also contacted mobiles.co.uk (as HTC suggested) to ask them why on HTC database my phone apears as a branded O2 phone, but still got no answer from them. You are saying that it should have been an unbranded Desire ?
No it won't, if it completes then you've got a generic Desire and that guide puts you back to stock 2.1...you can then update again to 2.2 and HTC won't know a thing...
I'm saying it should have been an unbranded Desire going from my experience of CPW - that's not to say EVERY Desire will be unbranded as it depends where they got the stock from
Quote from post : [HOWTO] Downgrade Froyo (2.2) to Stock 2.1 (ANY HBOOT | WIN/LINUX/MAC | ROOT)
"Further Information
If you want to flash an alternative RUU (e.g. a branded 2.1 release), just skip the downgrade section at the end by pressing vol-down on the phone when the utility has completed. Then reboot the phone and run the RUU you want. If you have an SLCD screen you should be very careful here - most RUUs don't support the screen."
Question: Do I need to skip the downgrade?
My model number is HTC Desire A8181 - is this with SLCD screen?
I have downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Is this ok to flash after this process?
Sorry, I am a novice (got the phone 2 weeks ago) and did not expect to bump into problems like this so early.
Please help, I wouldn't want to brick my phone.
The guide downgrades you to the stock 1.21.405.2 ROM which is fine for SLCD screens. You can then either use that RUU or just do the OTA update again - whichever you prefer (personally, I use the RUU)
There should be no issues if you follow the guide to the letter
Other thing to try first, though, is a hard reset - it might fix it for you
Just did a hard-reset. It didn't help. Will try downgrading and let you know how it went.
I did the downgrade and now the wireless is working again )
I'm flashing that RUU now
Thanks so much EddyOS
No worries matey, just keep the gold card in the phone and you shouldn't have issue in future
I had the same problem.
No WiFi and hotspot after ota.
This because i forgot to put in my goldcard...
Easiest way to fix it is to make a goldcard, then get the .zip file from the 2.10.405.2 update and place it on the goldcard.
Rename it update.zip.
Put the goldcard in your phone.
Then enter recovery mode (reboot your phone, when turning on hold the lock button and volume down button)
Select recovery in the menu you get, then wait, after a while it shows you a few options. Choose the option to run the update.zip.
Done, everything works perfectly.
Its really easy, only making the goldcard out of an SD requires a little searching/reading.
Good luck!
Edit: forgot to say it doesnt erase any data, like apps and contacts.
Just be sure if you use your current SD card as goldcard to copy everything to your pc before making it. Then you can put it back later on.
Finaly back to the latest 2.2 Android. Updated using OTA.
Tried updating with RUU but for some reason after the RUU rebooted the phone to start the update, the phone got stuck on the HTC screen and the RUU timed out; tried it several times.
But I'm back on track now.
Will keep the goldcard in at all times. Lesson learned the hard way.
DaannRoz - unfortunately I already did the hard-reset...
Thanks everybody.
Thanks DaannRoz
I put a new 16gb into my phone a while back and put it through the gold card process so I thought it should work. It didnt and I got the Wifi error code. I put the original gold card in and went through the steps you provided and got my Wifi back. It saved me from reflashing the phone and wiping out all my apps and data.
I anyone gets a picture of a phone with a red triangle and a apostrophe in it you need to push and hold the volume key up and then press the power button to get to the rom select screen.
Thanks Daan..
Just stuffed my Desire. Will try the update via recovery @ home.
BTW is this the update you want me to do ??

Well, seeing as you're posting during the working day I wouldn't really expect an answer til at least lunch time...I'd say flash a stock RUU and see if that works. If so it's an issue with the rooting

If so, can it get it unlocked again?.. otherwise it wont be of any use to me..
and hey i appreciate ur help man..thnx..
Right...
Without knowing the original software version on the Desire it's hard to work out what it came with. Download this file:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
Once downloaded, rename it PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip), copy it to the root of your SD card and then reboot the phone into HBOOT. Assuming it can read the sd card it'll find the update and ask you to flash it. Do so and see what happens. If it works then you're unbranded, if not you're branded and then it's anyone's guess which RUU to use
It didnt work...so its branded for sure...
trying Vodafone UK rom now..hope it works..

Even if it's branded, it ought to have worked with a goldcard..Are you sure the goldcard was in the phone, and not some other sdcard?

any solutins in this...I am actually thinking of throwing this desire nw and take a simple 2nd hand phone..
Hi,
I have tried several ROMs on my desire but none of them is working perfectly.
The only rom that somehow makes it possible to work is dj-droid
Leedroid and Chinese rom kept on crashing
The phone keeps crashing if I use it to much. (run a demanding app like waze or o game)
It even crashed when I use the internet for too long.
All of this made me come to a conclusion that there is something wrong with the hardware (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)
Now I want to get my phone to his stock condition.
I know that I need to download something called a RUU file.
I found this thread, but I can’t figure which ROM should I D\L.
I suppose it should be something marked as WWE and the numbers are the radio version.
From what I can see my radio version is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 (found in setting-> about phone -> Software information Baseband version) is it really the radio or I’m looking at the wrong place?
Can I use any RUU file is there a specific RUU should I D\L because in the thread I found the highs radio version is 32.30.00. If I need a specific ROM can some please point to the right direction.
Also I’ll be happy is some will explain to me what are the steps to install the RUU file, or is it same thing as installing a custom ROM ?
Please feel free to throw any other suggestions that might help to set my desire to it’s proper condition.
Thank in advance
Mark
P.S
I had froyo 2.2 and my HBOOT is 0.93.001
In order to return to stock, just connect the phone to the pc and run the RUU (it's just an exe file). The latest OFFICIAL European rom is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828519
That will upgrade HBOOT and Radio, you really need that. In case you'll need to get root access, just download unrevoked (google it), but remember to uninstall HTC Sync in case you have it installed before running it.
After rooting, just reflash the rom of your choice and keep the new radio, just don't change it, it's superb.
Hint: before flashing any rom on top of each other, remember to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and user data, so you won't get any crash.
To restore data I suggest MyBackup Pro, gives less issues than Titanium Backup.
You need a gold card to flash anything other than the one that originally came with the phone. Radio is irrelevent

Radio is responsible of many crashes: an old radio not compatible with the camera app gives FCs.
Why would he need a goldcard if he already rooted?? To go back to stock just enter in the bootloader, select fastboot, connect via usb, start the RUU and you're done.
Thanks,
I'll try the attched RUU and update with the result.
BTW
is the there posibility i'll brik my phone during this procedure ?
Oh and i anderstand that i need a goldcard only if my phone is/was branded.
Ok, I managed to restore the phone but after the installation it entered to a boot loop.
I let the phone rest for 2 or 3 minutes and it started up perfectly.
I suspect that if I'll stress my it's get too hot and crushes.
Any suggestion how can I confirm this theory ?
How did you get it out that boot loop? Resting? Did you take out the battery or smth?
Yes,
I had to to that several time before the phone started to work.

If the OP has a branded phone and wants to flash a stock unbranded RUU you need a gold card. Radio is irrelevent in the flashing of an RUU as you get the correct radio for the ROM included in it
I am just asking because I am trying to flash the Rooted , A2SD+ version of this ROM and after flash it just keeps looping (when the little green android logo appears and the phone vibrates) and does that on and on and on. Maybe I have to wait more.
Which ROM have you come from? IF it wasn't a Sense-based ROM you'll have to do a full wipe before booting

I came from exactly this one (latest OTA). It was rooted and as clockwork recovery did not work , I flashed Amonra. I did a full wipe, I formatted the SD card and then partitioned it, I did everything from scrap. I am almost certain I am missing astep or smth. Phone shows S-ON, maybe amonra doesnt get read of Security...?? I am not very good at this stuff, but any other ROM I flash works, except for the latest OTA (rooted and with A2SD- there is a post here on the forum containing it).
OR you mean a full wipe AFTER flashing, and before the first boot??
Chapter 2 – Return of the Desire
Hi again
First of all I want to thank you all for your assistance I had no problem to activate the warranty.
It seems that the constant reboot issue was a know issue of the A8181 series so my original phone was sent to HTC.
Finely I got the phone back and according to what I've been told it's a new device.
When I tried to use the phone I noticed that the APN settings were not transformed from the SIM card to the phone
(did not had that problem before I shipped the phone).
I tried to ran the RUU I used before and It seemed like I'm also going to gain an upgrade from 2.10.405.2 to 2.29.405.2 .
With a heart full of joy I'm pressing the next button and when the status bar reaches the "updating signature" I get the " Error [131] customer ID" error.
Noting I do seems to help fixing the problem.
I managed to root the phone, I flashed the LeeDroid rom, but i still can't run the RUU.
Any suggestions how do I fix the problem ?
I don't think my phone is branded as I bought an online store and from my provider.
Thanks in advance
You need a goldcard.

try reformatting / remaking your goldcard.

This may sound familiar to you but..
Some background. Got my Desire repaired (replaced the motherboard because of a well-known reason..). Previously I had a root access and my SD card divided to FAT\EXT. So I got my phone back, it worked perfectly but today it suddenly turned off while it was charging. Now it won't boot up. I see the darn HTC logo all the time. Did the wipe and..restore. It seems that I don't have any update.zip on my card. I have no idea what should I do. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
is your phone rooted? Were you have a custom rom or just a standard one?
Hey, no. After the repair the root was gone. Had the last OTA update installed. I just don't quite get it. Since I don't have that update.zip on the card, that means I can't really get it restored, right? So if i.e. I change my SD-card to another one. How do I get a restore image file? I'm confused..
If your phone is branded you need the goldcard to run again ruu but if it's not just download the latest software and try. maybe it'll help
try running logcat while the phone is hanging on the htc logo
it may give a clue of what is wrong

Gold card would be needed to run the WWE RUU if you have a branded handset
Thank you guys. As I've mentioned before my Desire isn't branded. It was bought in Lithuania unlocked and sim-free. So theoretically I don't need a gold-card. But one .img I've tried to feed em returned wrong CID error. I've downloaded that RUU and tried to run it. Phone's plugged-in but the setup drops an error (170), says it can't see the phone. Tried to do it with in the bootloader mode. Same stuff. I'm kinda messed up.
HTC says they can take it for the repair so I don't need to send it back to Lithuania, but I still think it should be fixable..
Wohoo! I've managed to get the rom.zip out of the latest RUU and fix the whole problem. Thanks guys! You made my day! We can close the thread now.
Has anyone ever seen this? Got this phone cheap and would like to fix it.
Can't get into bootloader, just goes to this screen and keeps rebooting ever so often.
Cheers for any help
Ok an update, it seems the volume- button is broken but back key + power worked and I got into the boot menu. Here's a pic.
Where should I go from here?
Is there a way of knowing if the phone is branded and what brand or unlocked so I can try flashing a WWE RUU?
Ok so the phone is branded T Mobile since a Tmob RUU worked just fine but with WWE ROMs I get a CID mismatch.
Made a goldcard with 2 sd cards but it doesn't work since I get a CID error mismatch again.
I should mention that after a T Mobile RUU flash that phone was still getting stuck on that same screen in post 1.
I've tried several things but still no luck with getting anywhere.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Made a successful goldcard using a different method and was able to flash the latest WWE RUU but the phone is still stuck on boot, the difference is that now it's the white screen with HTC in the middle.
So the phone doesn't even get into boot.
Can somebody help me with this??
Ruu really should Fix it. If it doesn't, first port of call should be warranty. Does ruu give no error?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
As I've mentioned, I got this phone for cheap so no warranty.
Nope, no errors with goldcard. Also I should mention I can't get into recovery, it just goes back into boot loop.
I suspect some partition somewhere must be corrupted.
If the phone had S-OFF it would make things so much easier.
Ok so an update, for anyone who runs into this problem.
After trying basically everything (even trying to unlock bootloader with a HTC Unlocker device with no success, probably due to action key not working) I was going to go and try to unlock the official way.
To unlock the official way I had to update the ROM so I just used the latest update which is 2.3.3 and after flashing I was finally able to boot!! So it seems like the problem was not hardware related at all.
Next I used Revolutionary to S-OFF, flashed CWM Touch and used root.zip for root access. Now I'm happy I got it all going and it's time for a sandwich, the ice cream variant
Peace!
