Hi,
I was trying to root my phone with the guide that is on this forum, but then when i restarted my phone, it was stuck on the white "HTC" boot screen. Then i tried to do a "Factory Reset" in hboot and rebooted, and still stuck on the boot screen. I tried to put a PD98IMG.zip as it was prompted in hboot as "no image or wrong file", so i loaded PD98IMG.zip onto my SD card, and still not working. any suggestions ?
my phone is S-ON.
I guess your phone is branded ? If that's the case, you need to follow the tutorial for a goldcard.
Also, if your rom is 1.7x or 1.8x, you can't root it. You have to follow the downgrade tutorial 1st
Mine took 30 mins to boot once. You could try the ruu look in dev section, you just flash it from Windows, then start again. Was your she branded?

I was in the same situation, downgraded ROM and clockwork mod and did a restore and it works fine now
@Howling Wolf - I cannot get the CID for the SD card, because
in the 'adb shell' command, my command prompt says "error: device not found". But i want to know, can i still get the CID through another HTC desire phone ? and can i still update a stock rom with S-ON ? and how do i know if my phone is branded ?
I got my phone from Taiwan, a friend brought it over for me, and when i last checked it was on software version 1.37.921.1 .
@turbo_d - ill try that thnx
did you try installing the htc sync software then do adb devices
ye i did, i installed HTC sync to get the HTC drivers, but from what i noticed is that your phone needs to be "running" instead of being stuck on the white HTC boot screen or even the hboot doesnt pick up the device aswell >.<

Try going into bootloader, and then run adb from pc..
@SAPPH1RE - i tried that but thanks for the help !
ok i acquired my CID through linux, but now its telling me
main version is older !
update fail.
any suggiestions ? my current software version of the phone is 1.37, which stock RUU should i be using ?
If you are on 1.37 you should be fine to continue with getting s-off and such. You don't need to upgrade or downgrade your ROM until you achieve s-off. And then you should upgrade to a custom ROM such as LeeDroid.

did you get it working ?
I fixed mine a few weeks back by doing a full wipe and then loading a fresh ROM
Thing is, i cant get my phone to start up, so i need to flash a stock rom, so that i can get my phone started and then do S-OFF. But it keeps telling me "Main Version is older!"
ive tried 2 roms already, 1.32 and 1.72 RUU. What could be the problem ?
thnx problem solved, the gold card wasnt done properly, so i re did everything.
thnx for the help guys !

@paulcoop007 i have same problem with you, same version with your phone and S-ON. and my phone at black screen with htc. how can i fix it. can you explain how did you fix your phone?
Hi guys. My first post on here I think, but I have been lurking a while and using a couple of the ROMs on the developers forum.
My Desire has a problem where it reboots itself whenever hot. This happened on the standard ROM but has continued when using custom ones also. I've been meaning to send it back to O2 for about a month now but haven't got round to it. I thought I better get it back to standard before I return it, but that's where things started to go wrong.
Both my work PC and laptop wouldn't entertain the phone being connected. HTC Sync could not see it. Downloadd the latest version, tried restarting with only Windows services running etc. but no joy.
So I brought the phone home and connected it to my home laptop, which detects it. I downloaded the SDK and installed the Google USB drivers, all seemed good. I tried to run the HTC ROM Update Utility, but have had various problems.
I am trying to use the O2 RUU from the forums here.
The most common problem is ERROR 140:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
I'm currently running a Froyo ROM.
I have also noticed, that if I reboot the phone to the bootloader and then plug the USB cable in, it goes back to the old Android 1.0 on device manager, which it only does if connected during bootloader. This cannot be changed, no matter how many different drivers I try to update it with.
Any help here would be much appreciated. My warranty expires in May!
Was your phone o2 branded originally?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
It was, yes.
You might need a goldcard even though your phone was originally o2. Also the failsafe solution is to extract the ruu zip file from the flashing utility, put it on the sd-card and let it flash it automatically.
This way you eliminate a lot of potential errors.
edit: error 140 is bootloader version error. It means your current bootloader is newer than the one in the ruu and the utility does not allow a downgrade. You will either need to find an o2 ruu with the newest bootloader or use a wwe one with a goldcard instead.
Your issue is not related to having a gold card inserted. The message is pretty clear: Your phones hboot is to new (or the RUUs is to old, if you want to put it that way). RUUs will typically not allow you to downgrade hboot. Try to find a newer RUU with a sufficient hboot version or if you are S-Off, find an older hboot and downgrade yourself via fastboot.
Regards.
Edit: sorry... haven't noticed the edit in the post above.

OK thanks guys. I don't know what a goldcard is, I'm certain I never had to use one of those when I rooted the phone with the unRevoked method.
I may have found a better O2 ROM this morning, so will give that a try and let you know.
It worked! I'm onto an O2 Froyo ROM now
I've tried using multiple ruu .exe files to run, and keep getting the cannot connect error. I have tried running the ruu file when the phone is unlocked, when the phone is in hboot usb, fastboot usb, and recovery. when i run the ruu and the phone is connected in the htc sync mode, the computer will recognize the phone until i execute the ruu. the computer then disconnects from the phone. I have tried un-installing htc sync and running the ruu without any progress. I have special drivers for the rooted phone that i got off of unrevoked's website.
i am running baseband 2.15.00.11.19, and downloaded the ruu corresponding to this version.
i have clockwork mod recovery version 2.5.0.7 and it will not update to any later version.
I've already flashed for the s-on, and i am currently s-on.
HELP?!
Thanks!

I did that and the phone scanned the image file and came up with a menu that says
Main version is older, update failed, would you like to reboot etc.

That means the rom you are trying to flash is older than the current one. You need to get the 3.70 stock rom. Look towards the end of that thread, there are links to the newest 3.70 rom.

I have the exact same problem, trying unroot so I can install the Sprint/HTC update to Gingerbread. It doesn't look like anyone got back to you, please post if you've found out the problem. Best.
Hello all,
I am having difficulty unrooting my Evo...I rooted for wi-fi tether.
I already have S-ON.
I have PC36IMG.zip on my microsd card.
For some reason when I go into the bootloader (power&volume DOWN) it will not recognize PC36IMG.zip...a quick message pops up saying "no image"
What am I doing wrong?
PS: I am using ClockworkMOD 2.5
Please help.

http://noobgui.de/wiki/index.php?title=Unrooting I did this yesterday after trying all weekend,when you rename the file,if you're using windows 7,don't rename it ".zip" because windows adds a .zip also,it'll become .zip.zip,so just use PC36IMG...and another thing,use the RUU in the link dated 12/15/10,let me know if it worked
Hi all
I have followed procedures on how to recover my phone by downloading and running the correct Stock RRU, which according to my phone is the:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_TMO_UK_2.17.110.5_Radio_2.1204.137U.21_release_284360_signed.exe
I have relocked the phone too
Problem I have got is it simply wont run in windows 7, just wont load on screen,the older versions will run but during the update procedure i get an error saying incorrect Update utility which they are since they are older versions than the one installed.
I downloded it from the persianhtc site as the bugsylawson one is down.
Is it possible the file is corrupt or am doing something wrong.
Any advice appreciated
Thanks
Perhaps you got corrupted RUU. I've got working RUU, but I'm just beginning to send the file to the server. When it'll done I post here download link
Try this https://db.tt/DeRlb4Im don't forget to run it with admin rights.

I recently bought an Unlocked HTC one M9 from eBay. It was on Android 5.0.2 (1.32.617.6) and I received an update notification for 1.32.617.30. When I clicked to install it, it fails saying error in cache with error 7. I think since it's a used phone the device software has been tampered before therefore the OTA update fails. I don't know the device history.This is what I found in bootloader mode.
Software status: Official
S-OFF
Bootloader:Locked
It is super CID (11111111)
And it has stock recovery.
I have tried flashing 1.32.617.6 stock ROM from stock recovery after I found it on XDA. It also failed saying signature verification failed. I searched this forum and found that someone had the same issue and they had to flash 1.32.617.6 using a SD card formatted to FAT32. I don't have a SD card so I couldn't try it.
I also tried HTC's latest RUU. EXE for Unlocked/Developer edition but it doesn't run well. It starts and shuts down after it asks me to agree to terms and conditions. I have latest HTC sync manager and it recognizes my phone. I will be trying this again on some other computer.
I really want to update my device to the latest version of OS. Please help me! I don't know what else to try.
You cannot flash an ruu because the device is modified. The easiest option is to flash an unsigned update. Unlock your bootloader and enable usb debugging first though.
Beamed in by telepathy.
I don't understand in what way the device is modified because it says bootloader Locked not relocked and everyrhing is stock. I thought it might have been restored to stock after rooting or what not. If that is the case shouldn't I be able to install OTA update?
Anyways I wanted to know if there is some way where I don't need to unlock bootloader or root it. I want to stay on stock OS.
Update: used RUU.EXE on Windows 7 computer and it worked. For some reason Windows 8/10 is not good with running external exe files.
