ruu to bring my phone back to life after an unsuccessful event... i then followed the unrEVOked to Root my handset, this worked to an extent... i did get an error in bootloader saying

Ur desire is a new model pvt4, so the clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 that unrevoked try to flash, cant work..download amon ra 2.0.0.1, and from unrevoked program choice custom recovery and select amon ra..then start the root process and u should done
Sent from my HTC Desire

can you link me to file i cant seem to find download?

Here AmonRa 2.0.1
Otherwise if u like clockworkmod, u can get the latest version 3.0.0.5-r3 this work also on ur desire here (look at the second post for the download, then extract the zip)
Use unrevoked to flash the recovery

ok thank you... do i need to RUU my phone 1st?? amon_ra didnt seem to work. maybe i need to start from fresh?

Are u following alll the unrevoked instructions?
-Install hboot drivers on ur pc
-Install and the uninstall Htc synch on ur pc, but leave the drivers
-Set in ur phone debug enabled, and make remember "charge only"
-Leave ur phone switched on in normal mode, dont plug the usb cable yet
-Run unrevoked, choice amon_ra recovery, run
-just when it ask for ur phone, plug the usb cable
-wait the success message and u are done

yeah i am.. unrevoked only seems to work "sucessfully" once when i have a fresh RUU.

Then try to run the ruu and run unrevoked with amon ra..Then tell us the error.."amon_ra didnt seem to work" is not a good explanation

just to confirm that worked
im now running cyanogenmod 2.3!
just to summerise in case any one else has the same problem...
i RUU'd back to default
ran unrevoked 3 but choose a custom rocovery i used CWM 3.0.0.5-r3
let it run...
reboot
then used rom manager to install my custome rom
thanks alot andQlimax its been difficult to get a clear set of instructions...

[Q] (Q) Issues with flashing etc on Desire

Well, I have rooted my phone with unrevoked it installed the recovery mod 2.5.0.7 and I'm a bout to flash my phone. Thing is though I've been here for a while.
The story goes like this.. Relatively chronological..
I download HBOOT drivers install them on my Windows 7 64bit. I then download and run unrEVOked3, hook up my phone and choose charge only. unrevoked3 does it's thing and everything seems fine. I partition the SDcard with 6,5gb fat32 and 1gb ext4. Then i go into recovery i then go to wipe data/factory reset and chose it. Then i cant find dalvik data at first but i later find it, so i wipe that. Then I chose to install zip from sdcard which earlier moved. The InsertCoin A2SD+ 1.0.9 mod.
It starts up finds the file and starts flashing or so it seems.
It stops, and I cant remember the error message. So, I go searching cant really find anything except the fact that I should have wiped cache partitions also.. So I go back do a full wipe again and run it.
Then I get this error message: ( i tried again with a Cyanogen mod, and i got assert_failed write_raw_image...)
- assert failed: Package_extract_file("boot.img","/tmp/boot.img")
E: Error in /sdcard/InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1_A2SD+_1.0.9.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted..
I then find the baadnwz irc and ask for help there.. repartition my sdcard with gparted, and run through it all again...
Same error..
I then notice that CWMR is saying:
E: Cant fint MISC:
E: Cant mount Cache:recovery/command
E:Cant find misc:
E:Cant mount cache:recovery/log
E: cant fin misc:
I ask if this is normal, NO, is the clear answer i get.. so i test different things, new repartition correct sized and everything..
Still same..
Then I go and download the Froyo RUU and install it reset everything (of course i forgot to sync my contacts..) and i do everything from the top root, cwrm and try flashing but the same errors are still there..
So i then create this thread hoping that this error already isnt here after search.. And hoping someone can help me..?
I'm running the HTC Desire on HBOOT 0.93.0001, radio 5.11.05.27.
Worst thing is no matter how many times i wiped the different things no changes were made on the phone, when i rebooted i still got up my original bckgrnd image and everything...
So, what is going on?

It might be worth watching a few vids and reading a few guides. Here's a start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084. Also, don't worry. I messed up too when I first started to root and flash.
I can't remember what the status 7 error is and how to fix it. Think it's just to re-download the rom and try again.

If you have PVT4 device, you need to use AmonRA recovery.
I guess you're S-ON? If S-OFF try recovery from my sig.

Ironically I have used the tutorial in the development forum.. Used all the videos i could find, except s-off cause i was told i didnt have to do that when i was just flashing a new ROM..
How do i know if i have a pvt4 device?
edit: i found out.. im a pvt4 device..

Then root again, download recovery from my sig unpack .img and choose "custom recovery" in unrevoked and select it.
You can also use AmonRA recovery.
Or if you don't want to root again, S-OFF and flash new recovery in fastboot.
I don't really understand why they made CWM default recovery in unrevoked, people have so many issues with it. :-(

Try to use a different recovery. I remember not being able to do my initial backup using CWM after rooting with unrevoked on a PVT4 version of Desire. I replaced it with AmonRA long ago and was able to nandbackup.
Right now I use the one on my sig. The best recovery I've used.

reply
I looked at how to install Amon Ra recovery but will be unable to do it because I cannot "Enable USB debugging on the android device in settings" because I cant even boot my phone.

Then you have to do it via adb/fastboot check bortaks guide (on my sig and read flashing custom recovery) or search for android flasher and use it to flash a new recovery. keep your device s-off as it will be handy

If you're S-OFF do a full wipe (including recovery), then flash recovery and try to flash a ROM.
If you're not S-OFF, boot into fastboot mode (hold back & power) and either find the correct RUU for your network provider, or stick a goldcard up in your Desire and use the WWE RUU.
If you're too lazy to do either of those, you can risk the 2.3 RUU. The risk is if that goes bad, you have nothing to fall back on. If the 2.2 goes bad, you have others to fall back on, and the 2.3 one..
oh and stankyou, thanks for linking my guide on your sig ... though somebody needs to have it, I'll be outta here soon

Any chance the SD card is corrupted?

card
Not sure, the card seems to work ok in my computer, and I used a different card to try and flash the roms and the return to stock PM32IMG.ZIP. I will try another card when i get one.

Install another recovery... I personally like 4ext. Its in the dev section... also did u nandroid your stock rom before flashing? Try restoring it an verifying it is a correct md5 for the rom and that your recovery is up to date

I tried 2 different sd cards with no luck. i have 5 or 6 backups but none of them will load. how would I go about install the 4ext recovery?

Hey, this is DroidDev from AndroidCentral. Just incase you didnt see it there:
Seems like corrupted HBOOT or Bootloader to me? Will do some more digging/thinking but it doesnt look good.
When you install the pg32img.zip, which is the stock RUU, you roll everything back to stock. HBOOT, OS, everything, even loosing root. First thing it tried to do is roll back the HBOOT, it if cant do that then you probably have corrupted HBOOT.
In the mean time I would grab the Froyo RUU here and try that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1466295
If you were trying with the Froyo RUU, then try the Gingerbread one. The Guide in this thread, if you read it, has instructions on pushing hboot starting at step 11. But I would just do the guide from beginning to end. It will return your phone to complete stock froyo. If successful you can upgrade back to GB.
Click to expand...

If you cant get the Froyo RUU to install then I would not continue with the guide, could make it worse.

Here is a link to the GB RUU for you.
Turn on your phone and enter the bootloader, select fastboot and plug into your computer. Leave the phone here, then just run the .exe file on your computer. This'll wipe everything including bootloaders, radio, recovery etc. back to stock GB, without relying on your SD card to do the work.
It's worth a shot, while I don't think the SD card is the issue I haven't been able to not recover with an RUU before, from anything
Good luck!

Sounds like flash memory is messed up, I bet all partition sizes read zero, same thing happened to me. I tried to reformat with parted but no luck.I never could find exact sizes for the various mtblk's but my final judgment was that the physical flash memory was fried. dunno maybe if you knew the exact format sizes for everything you could try to push the needed Linux file through adb and try to reformat them one at a time, but I never could get it to work.
On a side note someone on XDA who said they work @ Verizon said they've had a rash of inc2's being turned in with similar problems, maybe a manufacturing glitch

Ok, so i tried flashing the 4EXT recovery by loading on an sd car and flashing with fastoot. Appeared to install, but still getting same problems. Tried to flash the recovery with abd fastboot from computer...just sticks a writing... never completes. Also tried flashing different backups and ROMS from flashboot with computer, with ROMS I get a message saying their is an error in zip file and can't be read. Tried to install Froyo ROM again via fastboot from SDcard. Just hangs at 2nd 1 saying updating for hrs, never completes. Not sure how to run GB RUU by the exe file? Do i extract the RUU file first? Whenever I have tried to extract those update files in the past i got an error. I'll try and figure it out this afternoon. An interesting side note, CM9 rom appears to install via flashboot from card but never loads upon reboot. Thanks to All for their continuing help!!!
PS...surfing at work and found this post - http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/ - sounds similar to my problem...basically says partitions on internal storage are messed up and how to use parted to fix. May also try that.

well, tried to install the gb rom exe file. Hung almost from the start, trying to reboot phone into bootloader. I'm at loss. Guess I have a new red paperweight. Not sure how to do parted, so holding off on that for now. Open to any other suggestions.

your using the wrong ruu i think you have to get the latest update, god and i forget the link, go to rootzwiki, jelly belly has what you need or condemned soul on here

My DINC2 is FIXED!

Hey man thank you, I had the same issue as the thread starter and tried all the same methods as he did before searching the forums. Your solution worked for me after getting the latest RUU from jellybelly. This event happened to me randomly, i think the wrong buttons were pushed while my phone was in my pocket. I have a commuter otterbox case and it makes the buttons easier to press. But some tips:
1. verify md5sum
2. i had s-off so I used the latest 2.3.3 ruu file from jellybelly
3. rename downloaded zip file "PG32IMG" only exclude the .zip part like what most folks tell you.. i explain below
i initially renamed the zip "PG32IMG.zip" and stored on the root location of the sdcard, well fastboot/hboot could not find the file, after loading the sdcard back on my computer and clicking the files properties i noticed the the file name was "PG32IMG.zip.zip", after renaming the file to "PG32IMG" the bootloader was able to find the zip file and the process was completed.
4. I do not know about an .exe file, If you can get into fastboot/hboot by holding the "volume down button" + power , that is the method i did
I hope I helped somebody and thanks everybody for yours!

I had similar problems sticking on white with green HTC on it. Mine had to do with the boot.img. I had to extract a boot.img out of a rom put it in folder on C Drive installed rom with 4extrecovery let it load but did not reboot I connect to computer pulled up bootloader with adb and flashed the boot.img and flash reboot and it past that screen and loaded. Had to be unlocked to do it.

Let me start off by saying I'm an old man and I need some help from you whipper snappers. I am such a noob at the phone thing, and have been reading and searching threads for three days to no avail.
Ok. my wife dropped her phone in the washer so we ordered her a new one just like the old one. It came with the 2.1 version of the software. She couldn't download any apps that she needed (no Google play store) so I went searching for how to install the update manually.
Found the update.zip file and put it on the SD card then rebooted the phone to the boot menu and ran the update.zip now the phone only boots to the fastboot menu.
I tried to do a recovery and a factory reset and can access everything in the fastboot menu.
So I thought just go follow the guide and root the phone and then remembered usb debugging is off
Then I went and found a RUU file and ran it with the same result.
Since then I have tried many different RUU files froyo,gingerbread just to name a few as well as the PB31IMG for each .
I am just completely stuck here. I am somewhat computer literate
Ok I've done a little more digging and when I try to do a factory reset I get the error
"E: invalid command argument
E: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
( no such file or directory)"
I'm also getting an error that says "E: can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Anybody?

did you atleast unlock your incredible and then root it successfully (s-off) before you tried going flashing anything?
did read this thread?
