I received my replacement HTC Desire about 10 days ago,
it was an SLCD T-Mobile HTC Desire.
HBOOT 0.75,
I quickly rooted it using unrevoked and loaded open desire on to it (*I didnt make a gold card *)
Now i discovered an issue with the Headset, which doesnt allow the microphone on the handsfree to work, called t-mobile who wanted me return this handset.
i downgraded using the tool and quickly ran the T-mobile uk RUU for AMoled
and here i am stuck with Screen Dead desire
no goldcard, no usb debugging enabled.
can someone please help i have tried running all the ruu's with no luck,
have also tried putting the update.zip in my sd card root and trying to update(all while being blind)
still no luck.
Can anyone suggest me what to do.
can anyone on T-Mobile UK using SLCD (if it matters) upload a goldcard i could use to update to froyo, and get some screen atleast
Do you know anyone else with an HTC Android phone?
If so ask them if you can get use their phone to get the CID of your SD card and make then make a gold card out of it.
I used a Wildfire to make one for my Desire.
You just need to find the RUU which works for desires with an sLCD screen im sure they will be posted somewhere.
There are no RUUs you can install without a goldcard that will fix your screen.

Someone I know has gotten their Desire USB bricked. Normally that's a non-issue but there's a few erm... complications.
Here's how it occurred, they have an O2 branded Desire but somehow they managed to get the Android 2.2 update (No one else with an O2 Desire got it btw). As you'd imagine it caused quite a few issues, it apparently got to 80% then restarted went to 33% and then restarted. Now it's USB bricked.
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 has no effect meaning we can't SD card access
The current ROM has a Froyo version number and is very very unstable. It crashes after about 2 minutes and then reboots.
It's HBOOT 0.80 at the moment (Despite the OTA 2.2 update being HBOOT 0.92???) and using the HBOOT 0.80 rooting package I cannot get Step 1 to successfully execute. It gives error 41: remote id failure.
How to get back to older ROM after FROYO update messed everything up
Same issue here. I have an orange branded htc desire which I debranded, then updated to 2.2 Froyo without a goldcard and now have a bricked phone. No access to SD, Wifi, GSM, Force closes all the time, and reboots every couple of minutes in a loop.
Running update in recovery mode doesnt work, neither does running Stock RUU files on different versions with goldcard in phone.
Hboot is 0.80, 2.2 showing as installed. Unsure what to do next really, any suggestions would be great, there must be loads of people who have this issue now...

I had the same issue. Virgin UK phone. Used a zip version of the OTA Froyo and got stuck with it looping.
To fix it I created a new goldcard in my girlfriend's phone and used the same zip file on the goldcard to flash from the bootloader.
My phone has not been rooted.
Hope that helps and good luck.

I thought Goldcards could only be created in the phone you plan on using it in? I can still manage to create a goldcard using my phone, so maybe I have a different issue.
PS where did you get the OTA Froyo update?
Why u dont try?
http://www.unrevoked.com/#desire
This installs a custom Recovery but i think u need a Sdcard.
If yes call the devs for help if they could patch it that it runs with DataPartition or something else. If u have Hboot 0.80 Unrevoked works! 100%
Mines the same.....unfortunately I don't have access to another Desire, and none of the so called fixes work......I'm on Orange and this update has well and truly shafted my phone,now I have the most expensive brick in the house.....get in!
The problem you have is your sd card is not recognized so unrevoked doesnt work and neither does 'enabling' your sd card via adb devices....its all crap
I created my goldcard in an HTC Tattoo which worked like a charm. I used the sticky post at the very top of the development section for instructions. Once done I copied http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip to the SD card and renamed it to update.zip. make sure windows doesn't change it to update.zip.zip
I then installed it from the bootloader.
So all I really need to do is create a goldcard and it should work for him?
I'll tell him to give that a shot. It would be impossible to create a gold card with a proper CID though because as we all know ADB doesn't work with USB bricks.

I used this http://www.roothtchero.co.uk/goldcard-2
There's a tool to create a goldcard linked in the guide. Made it very easy. I'm really no expert but I think the cid isn't dependant on the phone, just the card. I couldn't get it to work in a card reader but was very straight forward when it was connected to the pc through my girlfriend's Tattoo. Didn't cause any problems with me using 64 bit windows 7 either.
EDIT: PROBLEM IS FIXED!!! I TRIED MANY STUFF BUT THE KEY IS IN THE GOLD CARD!!!! SEE WHOLE THREAD FOR MORE INFO!!!!
Hello everyone!
Recently I got my HTC Desire from integron without any carrer. It came in a variety of Asian languages! I wanted to install the 2.2 Froyo but the automatic updated did no good! So I decided to do it manually! I looked up my phone version and it was 1.19.707.7 so I went here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 and downloaded this - > RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.2 8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed.exe
It installed with no errors and after it was finished the phone turned on. I heard the startup sound but no picture! Then i took of the battery, put it back but again no screen! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Thank you very much!
I think you have a SLCD screen on your Desire....
This might help.

Sounds like u took the battery out Before the phone had installed properly, after its installed through computer it can take some time to finish the set up on your phone after the reboot, is your computer picking the phone up still?

If you mean that if my computer recognizes the phone as a device then no.
Should I use the unrevoked3 program???
PS: I really am a newbie with Android. I only had WinMo phones before the desire!
w ww.android-tutorials.org/dev/?page_id=87
But this says for people who downgraded. I did not downgrade! I tried to upgrade form 2.1 to 2.2! Should I do it anyways?
And another thing... This says that i need a gold card and everywhere I read how to make a gold card it says that i need to do some stuff from the phone but i cant do it without the screen! So is there any other way to make a gold card?
Can u go u into recovery when u put the phone on?
Secondly, can u advise on the steps taken to do the update?

After I downloaded this -> RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.2 8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed.exe
I run it and followed the instructions form the installer. After the installation was done the phone made the sound that it always does when you turn it on but the screen was black so I immediately took out the battery put it back in and turned the phone on but the screen was still black!!!
And how do I get in recovery?
You have flashed a ROM on your phone that doesn't support SLCD.
The only way to recover is with a goldcard.
So can I make a Gold Card now and if yes how?
1. What you tried to flash was a radio, not froyo 2.2
2. You haven't rooted your phone, have you?
No. I did not root my phone.
What should i do now?
You really looked at this post..??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749551
there is a faq..FAQ say:
Q. My screen goes blank when I use custom recovery with unrevoked3.
A. You have an SLCD display and will need to use an updated recovery image until unrevoked3 itself is updated. It is safe to use this updated image on AMOLED screens too. You can download the image here: http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/reco...bravo-slcd.img
with kind regards..Alex
That won't help here, it's because the RUU flashed doesn't support SLCD. The relevant bit is this:
Q. I applied a different RUU/downgraded to HBOOT 0.80 and now my screen doesn't work.
A. Try the correct RUU above for debranding SLCD phones, if you're lucky it will work. Otherwise you can recover by upgrading to froyo OTA. Since it is difficult to root your phone without a screen, this is normally the best option. Just insert your goldcard and run this generic RUU: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Brav...022_signed.exe
But this requires a goldcard. There are a couple of existing threads about making a goldcard without a screen. It's very difficult.
Yes I looked at it but did not understand much of it! So can you please tell me what to do !!!
So if i cant make the gold card then my phone is dead!!!
Hi, I rooted using unrevoked on a mac, and installed a rooted official 2.2 rom and i was wondering what would be the easiest way to be able to have my phone alright to send in to htc if i had a problem. i just want this for ease of heart. i dont want to have to make a gold card, is there an easy way to make the phone not appear rooted to the htc people
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
you could simply install a branded RUU at the end, without using your gold card,
worked fine on my desire, when i had to return it to t-mobile for warranty issues
I had an iphone 3gs and decided after months of frustration with apple software that i wanted an android phone so i decided to swap my iphone for an HTC Desire....
Now, bearing in mind that i have never used android before and have no idea what I'm doing please can someone help me with reverting back to sense ui??
I have no idea if the desire was branded and so i cannot use the instructions i have seen posted here.
It is currently running OpenDesire and i really want to get it back to factory sense UI as i have no idea what i'm doing!
Thanks in advance!
Make a gold card and flash the RUU file which matches your phone (it's important to know is it AMOLED or SLCD screen, drivers are different), you could choose 2.1 or 2.2, branded or unbranded as far as I know, there is a leaked o2 branded 2.2 available.
I recently reflashed mine to unbranded 2.2, it was branded o2 before that. Really I am thinking myself of binning it and going to opendesire myself.
It is really easy to make a gold card and reflash. My only problem was I didn't have a windows PC for the actual flashing the rom part. The gold card is easy to make in linux but the flashing part won't work even running windows in a virtual machine. Lucky for me I got an old laptop to fix for someone that had XP on so I just used that.
It only takes a few minutes, my only gripe is I lost all my contacts and texts, despite 2.1 having a backup option and the backup files are there, I can't restore them.
You can use the existing microSD for the gold card, I didn't even erase it, just write the code to boot sector of the card, everything else stays the same so you don't lose anything from the card.
HTH
can anyone help me out? i rooted my desire with unrEVOked 3 (no goldcard needed) would i still need a goldcard to unroot my Desire with the RUU?
also, which RUU should i use to get back to Froyo T Mobile official?
i've looked all last night and tonight for answers for these questions,
any help would be great, thanks
If you look in the development forums there is a list of RUUs. Insert your goldcard and run the ruu relevant to your phone. Op does your desire have an Orange logo on the back?

OK, I've had my Desire HD for 18 months and have not had a single problem with it with lots of flashing which I learned a lot through you guys - thank!!! Just got a second-hand Desire for the Mrs as her Wildfire was a sack of s**t and I felt guilty as I recommended it
Desire was branded Orange (not a problem as we're on Orange). Came with MUI ROM (which I hate) so I stuck a Sense ROM on it (as she likes it) and it seemed to be working OK except it starting playing up with the mic in calls recently so went back to stock (although I pretty much bricked it using the wrong RUU getting a black screen!) but got that all sorted with the correct RUU and a gold card and now back on a European 2.2 ROM with S-OFF and root thanks to revolutionary and su binary.
What I can't do now is do is apply the OTA ZIP's which seem to check the CID which is set as ORANG001 I think and just fails. I have used the SIMUnlock Tool which reported to work OK although we have no other SIMs in the household other than Orange to check.
So after all that the question I want to ask really is... Is there a way to actually SuperCID the Desire (I sure can't see on)? If not is there a way to get the OTA ZIPs to install from recovery without error'ing? I'm sure I did it with the gold card in there.
Hope you can assist.
Mike
no supercid for desire as on newer phones, no ota
