Failed rom upgrade.. Stuck at Ruu screen!!!

Hey
I had loads of problems with my desire hanging so i decided to try and download the htc generic roms and run them!
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684
Also tried
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
but they all hanged during the upgrade so now im totally stuck with a black screen or the White ruu screen saying:
------------------
BRAVO Unknown Ship S-ON
HBOOT-0.75.0000
MicroP-031d
Touch Panel SYNT0101
RADIO-4.05.00.11

RUU
-----------------
Is there any way to save my desire or is it bricked? and should i send it to htc support? I should have warranty i hope since its merely 2 month old!
One more question, before i ran these roms i HAVE NOT rooted my desire! Do i have to do so? My desire is currently still UNROOTED! Could that be the reason why the rom upgrades are failing or is it possible to do them on unrooted desires?
Although i dont even know if its possible to root it in this state.....

Is your handset branded? If so, did you create a goldcard?
Exactly what state is your handset currently in? Does it boot to use as normal?
If I were you I would read THIS and root your phone. Then install any rom you want. There are official and custom roms galore in the dev section.
If you have tried to install an incorrect rom on the phone and messed it up then I doubt HTC would honour the warranty anyway so there is no fear in rooting it! The only known bricking issue on these phones has a fix now so you haven't lost anything.

My phone boots up to that RUU error message so it doesnt boot!
The problem was it stopped booting all of a sudden with the original rom! It just hanged at the White startup screen with the green HTC letters!
But i could enter the Fastboot, Recovery, etc... menu!
So with that i tried with the USB to download the generic original roms! But after they failed (both of them) now each time i boot i get the HTC blackscreen with the error triangle inside!
But i can still install new roms, through the usb but none of them can finish after like 80% so they can still connect to the phone from the computer through usb!
The phone is unbranded as in not connected to any operator like vodafone or such! and its not rooted either!
so u think i should try to root it?

If it is definitely unbranded then no goldcard is needed. I'd say you should go for it and try to root it. Just to confirm it's unbranded, it doesn't have any network operator software on it at all? No boot screen or any operator apps or anything?
You will need to check the link I gave you and follow the instructions religiously! It's actually a fairly painless process. I found the easiest was the tiny core linux method. You don't need any linux experience to use it as you just type in about 4 lines of text.
Failing that, if it simply never goes past the boot screen then no one will know you tried to root! So it would be a simple warranty return to the place you got it, and as far as you are concerned you got up one morning and the phone was off. You tried to turn it on and the rest is history! I told the carphone warehouse that and was given a new handset there and then, but was within my first 14 days of contract. It was a usb brick in my case and there was no fix for ir then. There is now though..

okay so im getting almost all the way on step 1!
except at the end of every push of files it says
FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail)
anyone know any fix? also how do i know which bootloader i have 0,75 or 0,8 and which rom i have previously??
before everything i know i had android 2.1 .. is that my rom too? like 1.21?

To check your bootloader, switch the phone on by pressing the volume down button while pressing power. The second line of text will say HBOOT the number after that is your bootloader.
As for that error... No idea. Sorry!

dang... anyone got any ideas bout the error 51? and how to fix it?

try rooting with goldcard method

Also stuck with RUU USB
Did you get a resolution for this? I'm experiencing a bad time with RUU USB too. My phone started out as an unbranded Magic 32A from HK and seems to be a European now, as it only likes installing the European RUUs (and even then only goes as far as 36%)!
EDIT:
I've since had it repaired by HTC themselves. Their engineers couldn't fix it (allegedly) so they replaced the mobo.
Cost me HK$1500! F***!

Regarding 2.2 official update and my desire locked to Orange UK

Sorry if this has been posted, but I can't seem to find much info on phones locked to Orange UK, and I feel my post is quite specific.
I have a black HTC Desire from Orange UK, and as far as I know the black desires are locked to Orange.
Since I bought the phone I've rooted it and I have a custom ROM, (not sure which one, but its software number is 1.15.405.4) I rooted using the goldcard method over at modaco.
I also, whilst playing around with unrevoked, added clockwork recovery to my phone.
There is an OTA update available to me (not 2.2 yet) 1.21.405.2, but when I try to install it, the phone reboots and the progress bar for the update gets to around 20% and the android logo is shown with an exclamation mark.
Then when I press the lock button clockwork recovery appears, and shows an error:
Code:
E:failed to verify whole file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
So that update doesn't work.
Anyway my question is, can I pay for my phone to be unlocked, and install a standard/generic unbranded ROM to my phone and then receive updates like normal (either rooted or unrooted, I'm not too fussed)?

[Q] Problems installing stock RUU WWE Rom. Any help?

Hi, everyone.
Got a Desire 2.1 update-1 branded by Orange ES. Hboot is 0.83. Dunno if it's SLCD or OLED, does it matter anyway?
Used unrevoked to successfully root and installed a custom recovery (unrevoked standard). Right after this the phone wouldn't go past the HTC logo but I could still get recovery screen. I tried a recovery but it didn't work either. From there I tried installing RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe (which is the one I want to upgrade from to stock Froyo2.2) but I got a problem in the middle of the installation ( installer says I needed to use the proper file for my phone). Then I used the recovery screen to install a custom ROM, AuraxTSense Froyo and that worked (have it on right now) but from this ROM the RUU WWE installer doesn't work either.
Any suggestions?

You'll need a gold card to use the stock RUU file - otherwise your phone doesn't pass the CID check because it's branded...

The Error code the installer gives me is "131" if that helps. On the phone it shows "CID error, cannot continue". Any ideas what does this mean? Help? Please?

now i know.. after flashing to stock RUU WWE, can i still use the unrevoke technique you taught me?
i did flash my phone using stock RUU WWE Europe (as far as i can remember) and thinking to flash WWE Asia... i cant get 3G/GPRS/MMS settings in my carrier.. im thinking if flashing WWE Asia ROM could solve the problem...

Quite possibly yes, and yes you can re-root with unrEVOked once done

thanks again EddyOS ill flash right away

Ok, so now I did a goldcard and the process seems to go a bit further but it stops. It says "Error 104, wrong hboot version - please install the correct version for your mobile phone". Any answers?

to pass the CID check, try this: htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2934

That now means the HBOOT version you have is newer than the one in the ROM you're trying to flash...What ROM are you trying to flash?
EDIT: If it's still the one in your OP then chances are you'll need the stock 2.10.405.2 RUU to get the generic ROM on the handset. You can get it by clicking on the version on my signature

[Q] i think my Desire HD bricked ! please help !

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 !

Help - Desire stuck on boot

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?

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!
