Did you do a full wipe before flashing CM7? If not, try a full wipe and reflash CM7.
I'm using CM7 RC1 currently with no problems, did RC1 work for you rather than the nightlies?

How do I know which one is the right one? the desire was originally on orange. I think I have a working goldcard as I managed to use a stock generic ruu. however it now gives me a 170 error on the windows machine. is it possible to flash from linux using fastboot?
it was rooted but my cm recovery has gone but i can get into recovery. I may have accepted an ota update...

Right ok, so you applied an OTA to a rooted phone. Try downloading the 2.29.405.5 ruu from www.shipped-roms.com and run that with the goldcard in.

cool will try those, with the orange one, do i just rename to update.zip and go to recovery? i have tried with other roms but when i apply update.zip i get a load of file not found errors..? thanks for your help
The Orange one is just an OTA.
What rom are you currently on?
I wouldn't try applying the orange ota after flashing the WWE RUU

not sure, i was on a froyo leedroid or something but after it went west I tried a few but only one worked not sure which one. it still bootlooped afterwards.. i am going to try the 2.29.405. Thanks
Keep getting 170 error with ruu? strange because if i type "fastboot devices" it shows my phone? any ideas?
Have you googled the error or do you have anymore info?
Phone should be in fastboot mode.
Try turning off any antivirus etc...
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
yep its the usb error which is strange, i can see the phone using fastboot, the phone shows in device manager as android bootloader interface. I have disabled antivirus and am about to hit it with a lump hammer..
Are u using win 7 .... try run as admin that .exe ..... or download RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release and try .... it must work
Try reinstalling htc sync if you have it installed. USB debugging enabled on the phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
I was just going to try reinstalling htc sync.. Thanks for the help
usb debugging was on but not sure as its boot looping
result!! it has come back to life. reinstalling htc sync sorted the 170 error! ruu flashed successfully.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. was the one i had and caused the problem.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00. worked
Thanks for the replys and help
Dear xda members,
I'm currently stuck on a problem with my Desire.
I had to Unroot my Desire because it needed to be repaired. Now that's done and I want to get it rooted again the only problem is, I now have HBOOT 0.93.
I've tried to unroot it with UnRevoked and installed ClockWorkMod as custom recovery. and I'm not trying to get it back to HBOOT 0.80 with a PB99IMG file but that doesn't work.
I installed a Custom rom through the ClockWorkMod Recovery, Custom Rom Ginger Villain but it doesn't boot.
I don't know what to do anymore? How can I get it back to HBOOT 0.80 or install a custom rom that does boot without problems?
Hope someone has the answer, I'll keep trying in the meantime!
This has nothing to do with your hboot version... Don't know why you would think so..
On gsm desire all current hboot versions are rootable, and i take it you have got it rooted without trouble on hboot 0.93 so there is no problem.
If the phone doesn't boot a fresh install of a custom rom even after a full wipe something is wrong, but do you get an error in recovery when flashing?
Also what was repaired? If your mainboard was replaced there is a good chance you have got the new hw revision which means you will need an alternate recovery.
I thought maybe the custom rom wasn't made for the HBOOT version or wasn't supported, thought they were related.
and I think I got it rooted because there wasn't any error with Unrevokedand I got a recovery.
I didn't get any errors installing the custom rom.
My IMEI didn't change so I don't think the Mainboard is replaced?
There was a problem with the speaker.
But should I just install another rom and try if that one works?
UPDATE:
After trying 4 RUU's I've finally got one that works. so now I'm back to Stock Froyo with Sense.
Guess I have to try it again now.
I'm trying to install Ginger Villain Again but again I only get a bootloop the whole time. I don't get any errors at all in the process only bootloops...
And I now have the exact same bootloop with Oxygen rom
I now got it back to HBOOT 0.83 but still with every Rom I get bootloops. Is there anything I missed? I got it rooted, got a recovery installed and wiped everything before installing.

Did u format SD Card and partitioned it as corresponding in the ROM Thread instructions?
For example if you flashing d2ext or app2sd ROM you need a FAT32 + EXT3/4 primary partitions (FAT32 always first!).
Lol had the same problem.
You did not clear all the cache and stuff. I cant remember all the ones.
think it is
cache
wipe phone data
davlik
not sure if there is another one
basically this is your problem. I wasted so much time figuring this out because i was too lazy to wipe them
all your roms will boot until you wipe your phone properly
First of all i must say i m new to rooting androids, did research for a couple of days then went ahead with rooting my Htc desire z which i did an OTA update to gingerbread 2.3.3
I downgraded to froyo 2.2 using this "[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo" ..i had to create a gold card.
The boot loader shows :
vision pvt ship s-off
Hboot -0.85.0005
Micorp-0425
radio-26.03.02.18_M3
eMMC-boot
oct 11 2010,20:10:38
Next i used the 2nd post of this "[GUIDE][30/06/2011]Root AND Downgrade Desire Z/G2(S-OFF/ClockWorkMod) -No Gingerbread" to flash the Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid
The rom ran fine for a day, then i started getting boot loops, it would boot, show loading then again restart to the htc logo. At first it loaded after 4-5 tries, then it started looping forever.
I restored my nandroid bakup via clockwork recovery...it worked for an hour, then again my own htc sense 2.2 froyo backed up rom also started boot looping.
I tried the "[ROM][10/21/11] Bulletproof MIUI :: 1.10.21 :: OC/UV/Stable!" it works for a while, then again the horror of boot loops renderin my desire z unusable
I tried cleaning the "wipe dalvik cache" "wipe battery stats" via clockwork recovery v3.0.2.4 nothing worked, i did "wipe data /factory reset" , "wipe cache partition" mounts and storage ...."format /cache, /data, /system" then again rooted, and installed the rom via browse from sd card menu.
again the mobile works for an hr or two and the boot loops occurs, and wont stop
im clueless on what to do. can anybody advise me on what to do so that i dont have to throw my phone away
EDIT:
Problem solved. Seems CWM 5 was causing the issue
Flash the latest cyanogen nightly. Do a full wipe first.

thanks, will try that
Just read the startertopic from the virtous unity.
When you experiance reboots etc aply patch.
Important Notes
If you are experiencing random freezes and/or reboots, this is likely due to your device being incapable of handling our overclocking defaults. Download and apply this flashable patch, which will reduce the maximum CPU frequency to 1Ghz and likely eliminate this issue.

Patch
after instaling rom succesfully do'nt reboot but flash this patch. All will be fine.

I was having boot loops even after installing different roms like MIUI, cynaogen, and even the default stock rom...
I did some research and found out that many people who are having multiple roms boot loop issue have one thing in common.. "clockwork mod recovery".
So i uninstalled the recovery and flashed with the stock htc recovery and then i reflashed with the stock htc rom....and voila no more boot loops and the stock rom which didnt worked previously is now running fine. I still have S-ON, but now im a little afraid to flash with a new rom again
Can anybody confirm that CWM recovery can cause this boot loop ??
I'm not sure about the bootloops with CWM, but if you decide to reroot, as an alternative, I highly suggestion flashing the 4EXT Recovery. It's amazing. I've had zero issues with it. And it has many additional options and fabulous support. The link is in my signature.

CWM v5 has been known to bootloop, v3 doesn't (or at least didn't when I used it last)

I've read that the latest CWM fixes the bootloop issue but I find that 4ext is far better so I haven't even tried using CWM since 4ext came out.

I bought the "4EXT Recovery Control" from the android market today...haven't flashed any new roms yet...just running the stock rooted rom to see if everything works fine. So far so good.
One noob question though, what if i again wipe everything and get stock htc recovery for some reason, do i again have to purchase the 4EXT or since i have already purchased it, i just get to download it.

When you wipe, you're using recovery to do the wiping so no, you won't lose the 4ext recovery. You will lose the 4ext Recovery Control app, as you will every other app you downloaded, but your purchase is linked to your Google account so as soon as you sign in with your account the Market will begin downloading everything you purchased.
If you plan on flashing new ROMs, I highly suggest Titanium Backup Pro. Before flashing a ROM, use it to back up all of your apps and their data and create a flashable zip of the program. With 4ext you can flash multiple zips so, set it to flash the new ROM and the Titanium app and that way you can just restore all your apps at once rather than waiting for the Market to download them. The added bonus is that all your data gets restored (saved games, etc.). Just be sure to never restore "system data" unless you're flashing like ROMs.

Hello guys !
First of all i want to say that I've tried EVERYTHING around to resolve the issue, but it seems that nothing is working. So long story short :
My friend bought used HTC Desire since i own DHD and he liked it alot but didnt have the money to buy DHD ,so the day he got it he tried to root it , He said that it was sucessfully and he instaleld some custom rom and went to bed,when he woke up in the morning his Desire Display was flashing with the boot animation(the ROM one) over and over again.He treid to install other ROM and the effect was the same,stuck at animation repeating over and over again.So He called me,i got to his house and tried to solve the issue but i didnt have luck there ,so i got the phone with me at my home. I started digging where the problem was...i was sure it was the rom ,tried to install 5-6 oter roms - no luck . Tried to flash with RUU- no luck ,kept getting " The main version is older" error . So i kept digging and tried to install the RUU throught H-boot by making PB99IMG.zip file,got the same error.Tried to use the update.zip solution - still no luck.Tried to change the recovery from clockwork to any other recovery ,but didnt have luck since i cant access the android and i am getting errors if i try to archive the file to update.zip.
So i need some help if its possible,sorry for my english and if the info that i provided is not that good ask me whatever u like.
also in The H-boot menu it says :
BRAVO PVt4 Ship S-ON
H-Boot-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.14
from what i got by reading is that i cant s-off cuz of the bravo pvt4 ..
Did you wipe data after flashing?

Full wipe + wipe from the advanced menu !
Lol, read thru the OP and same thing going over and over in my head "Did you wipe? Did you wipe? Did you wipe?"
When you start out with "I've tried EVERYTHING", make sure you actually did try everything, because it's pretty obvious you didn't.
Did it also display flash bootanimation over and over again after Ruu?

You have to wipe BEFORE flashing, not after.
Some Roms store important parts on /data, which will be erased during the wipe.

This is true lol. If you install then wipe you prob won't be able to get further than the boot screen.

Take it your mate didn't take a nandroid back-up before trying to flash, so he could restore it in case any issues occurred? Have you done full wipe then tried flash ROM from recovery then? Does the ROM need an ext partition - will boot loop if one doesn't exist.
Depending on the HBOOT version, using alpharev or revolutionary will S-OFF PVT4s - but this isn't the solution to your current problem unless you're trying roms that need non-stock hboots, in which case try something that doesn't first. S-OFF via AlphaRev also best done with rooted stock ROM, some custom sense ROMs also seem to work (don't know about revolutionary as i took alpharev route) - but get custom ROM running first before thinking about doing anything else.

Just saw your post. Too bad it's too late. Anyways the situation was kinda funny: So the HTC kept booting untill the "rom logo" (You know the logo after the HTC one), tried to install other ROM's (Full wipe before ofcourse) and it didn't work ofcourse, so I kept digging and i saw some threats where people were saying that clockwordrecovery wasn't working with my version h-boot, ah and trying installing RUU didnt work too(also trying to install PB99IMG.zip from sdcard didnt work too) ,was always getting "The main version is older" error! So we flashed AlphaRev, and finally the phone was S-Offed, after this i got my DHD's sd card since it was a gold card and i put it into the Desire , i had a PB99IMG.zip file from the previous day on it! So i started the bootloader, it detected the PB99IMG.zip file and I didn't get the "Main Verison is older" error, it asked if the file should be updated and i pressed "yes" and the phone gone off...guess what it was compleatly bricked,only vibrating and the screen didn't work....we were like OMG WTF ...so we installed SDK tools and started looking for adb commands/guides ...after 4 hours we were on about to quit and suicide ourselves cuz we didnt get anything and it was getting late...i was like " duh,lets blind try the PB99IMG.zip method again and rest till tomorrow" ,i downloaded the newest PB99IMG.zip from shipped-roms.com ,got it on my sd card and got the sd card back in the desire . Pressed Power + vol down,waited 2 mins and pressed vol up again,waited like 10 more mins,nothing happaned...we got all emo and mad ,2 more friends of us came to my mate's flat ( they are not into phones or anything ,complete noobs),one of them got the phone took of the baterry and the sdcard ,put the baterry back,pressed Power ON button and the phone ****ing started ....we all were like WOOOOOOOOT OMG OMG ,it was like magic xD ...so its fixed now and it has the stock rom and its unrooted...
Basically, I was going to sell my HTC Wildfire S, so I decided to flash a Sense ROM that looked like the Stock ROM (KimmsMod Supreme) so that the person who buys it will have the "HTC" features.
I wiped data/factory reset, wiped the cache partition, wiped the battery stats and dalvik cache and then installed it through Clockwork Recovery.
However, once I done this I got stuck on the white HTC Logo.
So I tried to install another ROM, another ROM, another ROM...still stuck on the white HTC Logo!
So then I relocked my bootloader and unlocked it again. I then tried to flash the stock ROM by renaming it to PG76IMG.zip and that STILL didn't work.
I then tried to install Clockwork Recovery Mod but I nothing happened/I got "CID Incorrect!" error.
All I want is to restore this HTC Wildfire S to the stock ROM, to make it like it's new so I can sell it. (Buying a new WFS later)
I would appreciate any help I receive, preferably before tuesday. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks!
By the way this is the GSM version, the Radio says 7.54.39.28M
HBOOT 1.09.0099
mostly people having the same problem.. even me too... hehe... I ran into this kind of problem two weeks ago.. But I didnt did anything, it solved automatically... If you have a backup of stock or sense kinda roms.. restore it.. It surely will work... cuz it worked for me.. It stucks on HTC logo only when I tried to flash a new rom... so better try your luck...
I like this guy selling stuff but saying its something else. The buyer will find out that its rooted.
