right my desires usb port has broken so not able to charge or conect to pc
going to send back to provider for repair but need to revert back to stock can anyone tell me how to do this
i am on 3UK
Do you know what ROM was originally on the phone? If so, you can reset back to it which might fix things
This might work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
You can always use a SD card adapter but for the rest of the part that requires a connection to a pc, i am not very sure Sorry but you can always try without running the win-down.bat but just transfer the PB99IMG to the root of your SD card and try. But i would not reccommend that. i don't know of the outcomes.
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
Ignore that and answer what I said. There's a VERY easy way if you know the original ROM version that was on your device. No downgrading required

I've got the same problem but worse, my phone won't pick up sd card, even in recovery and after a wipe my phone stuck on the bootcreen it is recognised by the pc but its asking for device drivers, my phone originally came with orange uk 2.1 rom

Why would that be downgrading? Isn't this safer then using RUU because RUU's get many errors?
No they don't, if you use the right one. There's no point downgrading

Tried to root and now HTC screen with 4 warnings in corners.
Can anyone provide me with instructions to restore my phone so I can try again?
Downloaded an RUU3.30 zip file... but don't know what to do now.
Trying to use adb I get device not found. Installed ALL the drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=652
I appreciate the link... but don't know what you want me to do with it? I can't seem to find a relevant post. I am trying to use fastboot... but that doesn't do anything and ADB keeps saying device not found but fastboot seems to reboot my device.
Try renaming the RUU to "PC3IMG.zip" (without the quotes), put it on the root of your sdcard, and then power down the phone.
Then turn the phone on by holding down the Volume Down button while tapping the Power button. The phone should automatically search for and find the PC3IMG file and attempt to load it.
If the above does not work, you will need to download the official HTC RUU.exe and run it from a Windows Computer while the phone is in fastboot. If the first method does not work, the second one surely will. It will bring your phone back to unrooteed stock at which point you can try again.
Thanks for your reply and renaming idea... problem is fastboot is the only thing that seems to be able to communicate with the phone... so how do I put that on the sdcard?
I appreciate your time... but currently am unfamiliar with this part.
Take the SD card out of the phone, put it in the adapter then in your computer.
The sd card in the phone is micro micro SD are there adapters for it? Its like 1 CM long.
Yes, there are adapters.
I would use the 3.29 ruu not the 3.30 ruu, since 3.30 has the new hboot which will create more of a hassle if you want to re root. just my 2 cents.

OK, thanks. So I have to drive an hour out to Frys to get an adapter... is that my only option? Sigh... Thought their was a way with fastboot.exe to load or reflash an image? Or some other RUU exe... I don't see an RUU 3.30.651.2 exe anywhere online and I have looked for an hour.
I believe the link was his way of saying "Your question should not be in the development forum. It should be in the Q&A section."
Thanks.. sorry didn't catch that since he didn't post anything but the link. I do appreciate all of your posts... I did post it there since and have had no replies. Guess I can get an adapter.. but is it possible to reflash the stock image using fastboot?

What hBoot version do you have? I was under the impression only the eng one had fastboot.
Some kingston cards come with a micro SD to USB adapter, it's almost worth it to buy that card just for the adapter IMO. They work great
I bought a new evo 3.30.651.2 with new HBOOT 2.02 (annoying)... tried to follow the root instructions and now my phone is hosed. In the process of installing everything there is fastboot.exe / adb.exe and other utilities that were installed along with unrevoked-forever etc. But the tool seemed to fail near the end and ended up with the black HTC screen.
fastboot.exe will reboot my phone and accesses it... I was wondering if I can use it somehow to boot a new kernel or flash a stock image? Really need to get this rooted.
Hi guys, I rooted my phone (2.1) using unrevoked, then flashed a new rom into OpenDesire.
When I go to recovery, phone is stucked with the HTC screen (need to remove battery).
What should i do?
thats a bootloop.. just find the RUU you were running before and flash!
hope this helps!
Hi,
Similar problem to some issues I had trying a variety of ROMs.
Something that seemed to work for me is reflashing the ClockworkMod (assuming that what your using) by using ROM Manager. I found that flashing an old version 2.5.0.1 then reflashing 2.5.0.7 seems to work. No idea what's going on but it's certainly a pain popping the battery.
Give it a try.
Regards
Colin

Hello Guys...
I've write about my problem in a thread title...
What can I do? : ((
P.S. RMA is impossible...
Can you Enter Hboot? (press volume down+power on)
A bit more details of your problem would be much helpful.
sorry to use this thread for my problem but I thought it's not necessary to open a second one with the same problem.
I can't enter recovery or boot into OS. It freezes at the splash screen. I tryed to flash a new recovery via fastboot but it didn't help. So I'm going to try to install an official ROM and redo the other stuff to get root again.
My problem is ... is unrevoked able to give me root no matter which hboot comes with the official rom? I have to install the one which is on the o2 homepage. HTC Desire: Version 2.14.207.1
I googled a bit and found answers that it doesn't matter which hboot I have after that but I just want to make sure.

Hi,
i just got an HTC One M8s and i think its propably bricked. I don't know whats owner of that phone done here. Its Software status : Modified, Bootloader: Locked, and S-ON.
I can't turn on the phone, i just can go to bootloader option and cant access recovery bc its popably didn't exist anymore.
I was trying to flash RUU for my CID T-MOB009 but htc_fastboot says "data length is too large" and sometimes "remote:signature verify fail", and i was trying to unlock this bootloader with HTCDev, but when i clicked yes it looks like that(means 1st photo) and just reboot to fastboot in bootloader and it's still locked
Is there's a way to unbrick this phone ? I just spend like 4 hours of trying some tips but it doesn't work for it.

Yeah maybe there's a problem with the "Security warning" it shouldn't be there. What you can do is to reflash the RUU. But not with fastboot but from your sdcard.
Probably this is the firmware that you should use. I'm not sure though you can go one directory back and search for another one if that doesn't suit to you.
Now to flash it follow the steps
1) Download it and if you can check the md5sum so as to ensure it has downloaded correctly.
2) Rename it to 0PKVIMG.zip (note the first character is a zero and not a O
3) Take out the sdcard of your phone.
4) Insert it on your pc and format it to Fat32 or exfat.
5) Copy the above file into your sdcard.
6) Power off your phone and insert the sdcard
7) Go into the bootloader mode. It should automatically detect the firmware
8) When it asks you if you want to install choose "Yes"
9) Wait until it is done. It will flash multiple times the system partion. WAIT patiently
10) Hope that fixed it!
PS: When you enter fastboot you probably see some green letters. This means the hboot is searching for the software file i said above. If it finds it's ok. I had problems copying the file with windows though.

Yeah thanks for that great advice man! Unfortunately i was trying to copy this on Windows and when i try to Hboot that it just skip process (but stops for sec on a 0PKVIMG.zip) and going back to bootloader. Any advice how to do that properly on windows ? I checked md5 on sd card and its the same as on my computer disk and same as on this site what youre sent to me . Thanks for replies

I couldn't get it that done on windows. Dunno what's going wrong. Hopefully i had a linux distro installed and i copied the file from there. Maybe you can do that.
If you haven't installed any linux then create a live cd and boot it up.

Okay so now its the trick. I have done copied that properly, bc it start to loading when i put sd card. I click yes for update, and its start to flashing. Some of first steps failed so it wasn't look good. It called ROM failed to flashed click POWER to restart, and when i clicked it phone goes off and now its propably close to hardbricked cause i cant turn on bootloader. When i take it to charger there is no battery on screen informating its already charging. Only LED is working when charging and sound on windows when plug it on and off. Any suggestions guys? I'am scared now
Similar situation
Hi,
I appear to be in a similar situation with my M8 that I tried to convert to GPE. Something went wrong and although the ROM booted, I kept getting told my data was corrupt or encrypted... Tried a few reboots, and refreshed but still got the same...
A thread on here suggested formatting one of the partitions from TWRP which just returned an error, since then the phone appears to be 'hard bricked'.
No display, no charging indication, not recognised in ADB, and I can't force boot into recovery or fast boot.
However, I do still get the notification sound when I plug it into my PC...
It appears in the Device Manager as Qualcomm Mass Storage Device, and Windows shows ~20 drives most of which are unformatted, a few of which seem to contain system info...
I was wondering, would it be possible to re-image the Device? Given that the PC recognises the partitions, would anyway know what -should- be on them?
Alternatively, can anyone provide an image of a stock drive, partitions etc which I could apply?
Apologies if this is nonsense, but I'd imagine the reason it can't boot is the Bootloader partition is 'missing' or corrupted.
The same may be true for your device Mikkal.
Thanks in advance,

No idea mate.. I can't turn on the phone so I can't check that..
For those who can't flash a RUU, unlock the bootloader install TWRP recovery, and install a custom ROM. Voila!

Hey everyone,
this is my first forum post on the xda website so I'll try to create an effective post as best I can.
Objective: Attempting to return to out-of-the-box stock android after using a custom ROM, LineageOS. I mainly want to return it to a condition where I would be able to hand it back to the carrier. It's also much more convenient for me to use the phone in stock. From my understanding, this is possible without much difficulty.
Issue: After many days of searching forums and following guides specific to the phone's model, I've put myself in a confusing position. The phone's current state is as follows: Installed OS[None], Bootloader[Relocked], S-ON[True], Boot to Recovery[Unsuccessful], SIM Card[None]. I'm unable to detect the phone on my computer(running Windows 10), and therefore can't utilize adb commands.
If anyone has any advice or guidance I would really appreciate it; and if you need me to provide any more information I would be happy to. I'll also try to respond as quickly as I can. Thanks!

What is your CID/MID and software version? Just use an ruu for your device that's at your current firmware version or higher. Put it on the root of your sd card and run from download mode.

I only have access to the CID(TMOBO10) and software version(2.51.531.32).
I've attempted to use an RUU, although after many attempts I couldn't get past the application setup screen. After the progress bar finished installing the RUU, it would close and never prompt me for anything else. I tried it multiple times.
I don't have a SIM/SD to use, unfortunately.
TWRP was installed as my Recovery, although trying to access it returns a boot-loop.
In terms of using adb, my phone will charge if plugged into the computer but it's not being recognized for file transfers.
I'm gathering that the only option left is to use something like a SIM card as you mentioned?

You could troubleshoot your RUU issue, it should work if you have a windows computer. Try googling it. Unfortunately I can't help you much there, it's always worked fine on my machine.
Else, yea, the SD card method also works well. Find an ruu zip version first before trying to find an SD card. The ruu.exe you tried using won't work in this method.
Hi.
PC method
As @Tarima has mentioned the RUU is not running because of a Windows/PC issue.
Your best option is to try and run it in another computer or a friend's computer.
You can put your phone to download mode (volume down+power)
And run RUU again. Here is a link just to make sure you have the correct RUU. It is for your CID and its 2.51.531.32
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569947237
For microSD card method
Use a friend's microSD card. It will need to be formatted to FAT32. So backup the microSD card data. Hehe!
To create an installable zip for that RUU, you again need a good computer.
Here is how you can get the installable zip from the RUU since it is encrypted you just cant extract it.
Download this decryption tool from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/tool-universal-htc-ruu-rom-decryption-t3382928
Choose 32bit or 64bit as this is vital to its working. Also make sure dotnet framework 3.5 is installed on your machine or else this tool will not run.
Once decryption tool is ready to run, just drag and drop the RUU on top of HTC_Decrypt_Tool.exe
It will give you some options. From these say yes (Y) to get new keyfiles AND to create installable sdcard zip file. you will know it when you see.
All other options such as uploading new keyfiles to community and getting boot.img and system.img is optional.
Once you get the zip rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip if it already isnt renamed.
Transfer to the root of your microSD card (dont put in any folders, just put it direcly on microsdcard)
Put microSD card into the your htc 10.
Enter download mode (volume down+power)
Download mode should detect the zip file. Press volume up to install.
If you need anymore help please post back again
