I cannot RUU!!!!

I downloaded the executable, ran it and I get the following error:
USB Connection Error (Something like that)
The phone reboots and just says htc. The executable is waiting for boot loader and times out after a minute or so.
I unplug the usb after the executable errors out and it instantly goes to a boot loader screen with ruu. I cannot run anything and have no choice but to battery pull.
According to the RUU thread, one person mentioned having to complete part 2 of rooting so i did that. I still cannot return this thing to stock!!!
I need to send it back to sprint, but I gotta get it back to stock first.
How the crap do I get this back to stock!
I'd reply in the RUU thread, but it looks like the last guy who posted never got a response...hopefully this thread will get me an answer.

adb reboot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery" then enable USB and run the RUU

I ran in to the same issue just now. I couldn't fix it, but here is how to do essentially the same thing.
Follow this guide to extract the RUU
Rename the rom.zip file you extract to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card
Reboot into the bootloader, it will load the file and ask if you wanna install it, you should do so
It'll finish and ask if it should reboot, choose yes and boot into a stock phone.

Its a driver issue, at least it was for me, the google drivers don't work for the htc ruu application. You need the htc drivers install for the phone to be recognized by the rom updater. Hope that helps.

i had that issue too, for me it was the drivers. i then used my work computer and it allowed me to use the RUU

I always had to run a ruu from fastboot in order for it to work

YMMV, but I had to run the oldest RUU first when I was at 1.47 level, and then re-run 1.47 RUU for it to work. Otherwise, bootloader would never get pickup up.

I always had to restart the RUU after I got the error first. Run it again after it times out, when your phone is sitting at the HTC screen and it will work.

Just install the latest HTC Sync and you're set. That will fix your issue. Install HTC Sync and run the RUU afterwards.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. I was able to load that ROM. I think it's still rooted though, I can get to the menu by pressing volume down/power.
Any ideas?

ideas on what?
Your being vague.

Any ideas if my phone is still rooted, or what I need to do to get it back 100% to the way I got it from Sprint.

You can always got into that recovery when holding down vol and pwr. If you go to recovery you should only see a triangle and an exclamation. That means you are not rooted.

At this time there isn't a way to get your Evo 100% back to stock. Why do you quote yourself?

^I quoted myself because mattrb thought I was being vague, and I didn't want anyone to be confused, so I emphasized my previous post which was clear enough, I thought....and I was right!
Thanks guys for all the help. In the end, I used the copied the RUU ROM to the SDCARD, named it PC36IMG and restarted the phone holding volume down...the rest was automatic.

hey dreamliner did u use the 1.47 ruu or the 1.32? I am in need of the same thing but I cant get the 1.47 to run...

would this work renaming the zip and copying it to the mSD card?
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/sdx/evo/stock/OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_release.zip
I cant get the RUU to extract using process manager, and only once have I gotten the 1.47 RUU to boot the device into bootloader and tried again with the phone on the HTC black screen, unplugged, re plugged and thenran it again and it was giving me the 170 usb error again.

This is the easy solution, worked for me. No need to make things more complicated by extracting the rom.zip.
As bcnice said just run the RUU and when your phone is showing the HTC logo and you get the USB error just rerun the RUU.

[Q] Is my phone bricked

Hope anyone can help me. Has soon tried everything without success. Phone is rooted with bootloader 0.80 Radio. 5.09.00.20 March 29 2010 and defrost system version 4.3
Have bootloader 0.80 which says wrong version when booted, and Touch panel fail sometimes. The phone can boot up sometimes, but after 2 to 3 my phone goes black and can only be started up again by taking out the battery. Is there any possibility to get the phone back to the original as it can be sent for repair. Believe, in fact it could be something hardware does not. If it can not be done, can it be made without it costing more than a new phone

Have u tried another rom?
If u want to send it to repair u need this RUU to unroot

Thanks for the quick reply. Have tried with another ROM without success. Have tried with a RUU. Unfortunately, the phone will not be in usb mode when i try to sync HTC. Windows writes that there is connection to usb port. Can you get RUU in zip format so it can be loaded via Update.zip / recovery mode. The RUU you recommend that can be used for Danish phones. Whew, lots of questions.

Yes u can install the RUU threw Sdcard, try and find a SAPPIMG containing froyo2.2 or u can try and downgrade to 2.1 and see if the phone works properly, i only have links to the 2.1 here u are:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed_txt.zip
1. download the file to SD card.
2. rename to PB99IMG.zip
3. boot into recovery (turn phone on while holding down volume)
4. just let it load the zip file and press yes when asked to install
This will get u back to 2.1 so then u can try OTA updates or running RUU´s again.

Probably u have USB Bricked, look for threads explaning how to fix USB Brick..

Many thanks for your help. Try it during the night. The problems with the phone locks and the screen goes black and can only be restarted by taking the battery out, because it surely wrong bootloader or brincked usb

Have tried to install PB99IMG.zip. Unfortunately, when it only to load up a bit of the column before the phone goes black again, and battery removal to restart. Anyone have an explanation for this. I completely drained of ideas

U seem to have a true brick.I broker my friends magic.

[Q] Little help please

Hi guys. I have a rooted desire running hboot .80, after installing a new rom and rebooting my phone became stuck at the htc boot screen. I am able to run CM recovery but all roms installed will just go to the htc screen again. When accessing fastboot I get the no image error. I have seen some similar situations, but not this exact problem. Any help would be very appreciated.

are you doing a full wipe before flashing the roms? data, system, cache, dalvik cache, boot?

yes, doing full wipe..... roms appear to be installing correctly..... reboot to HTC screen

Go back to stock and start again

Looks like you got a old hboot so I'm thinking you will have an old radio giv them a update and you should be fine

Well, you can flash an RUU. But you can use this method, which is get the P******IMG onto the root of your SD card and then boot up to the bootloader and press up and continue with the set up. This should bring you to stock. Please run this, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP , Extract the files to your destop and run the win-down.bat file and follow instructions. Do this before the p****IMG thing. It will prevent errors from occurring. Just follow the instructions and you should be fine. Please dont blame me if anything goes wrong and research more before continuing but you should be fine cos i did it more then once. If this is unclear, just PM me and il make it more understandable because i did this in a rush.
Hope this helps you!

The PB99IMG.zip of 2.29.405.2 is already on shipped-roms (I uploaded it on there)

Here's a clearer way to do it. cleaned up.
This should work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: 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

Oh yes, the PB99IMG is already in the zip file. you don't need too download it from shipped-roms.com unless you want a specific one

Everything appears to be working again, thanks for all the help!!!!! On a side note, as I couldn't enable debugging I had to transfer the IMG file over and run it from phone like a rom. Otherwise just as was stated.

HTC DESIRE unroot with RUU 2.3.3 failed

Hi guys.
I know there are several posts already opened about this, but I`ve tried all I read there and nothing worked.
I wanted to send my rooted Desire back for repairs(camera LED broken thanks to a Torch app), and wanted to unroot it before I do.
I`ve read on some posts that u can unroot the phone by running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU found on htcdev.com (the official RUU), so I downloaded the RUU, installed hTC Sync, installed the Desire`s USB drivers(the same one`s that are required when rooting with Revolutionary).
The RUU started installing, the phone rebooted into the HTC splash screen and the "update" of the RUU started going, both PC and phone showed the cursor of the installing process, and at about 90% the PC gave me an error (update error).
I`ve tried again and again to run the RUU but everytime, it failed. And now, my Desire just won`t boot. I`ve taken the battery out, put it back, turned it on, and the only thing that appers on the screen is the white HTC logo on a black background, with 4 icons in each corner of the screen(looks just like the icon that appears when u plug in the usb cable with USB debugging mode ON).
Volume-down+Power and BACK+Power don`t work anymore, even though I press them, the phone just simply ignores the keys and takes me back to the before mentioned hTC splash screen.
I know this is probably something I did wrong, but if there`s any one kind enough to help me out with this, I`d deeply appreciate it.
Thank you!

It doesn`t say anything.
This is what I do:
1. Take the battery out.
2. Put the battery back in place
3. Try turning phone on using: Volume-down+Power -> the phone doesn`t show anything, it simply takes me to the HTC logo(white HTC logo on black background. It does the same thing if I turn it on using BACK+Power)
If I try running the RUU again, the installer gives me the next message: Error[152]: image update error.
From what I`ve read, this is a radio error which can only be fixed by hTC. Could that be true?
Also, after the RUU gives me the above error, if I unplug the USB cable, the phone shows following:
*************
RUU
Radio_V2 - OK
Splash1 - OK
Recovery - OK
Splash2 - OK
Radio_cust - OK
Bootloader - Bypassed
Userdata - OK
System - Fail-PU
Boot - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
*************
I have the Alpharev CM7 r2 bootloader.

even if it is its covered by htc warranty so don't worry about it

I don`t think it coveres it, as the Alpharev CM7 R2 bootloader still shows.

oh you're still S-OFF?
You're automatically in fastboot when you turn on since your phone is like that so just turn it on, plug it in first flash this and then flash this, Then run the RUU again.

Yes, I`m still S-OFF.
How do I flash them if I can`t access recovery using Volume-down+Power or BACK+Power?
I`ve downloaded the first one, renamed it into PB99IMG.zip, put it on root of SD CARD, turned phone ON and it takes me to the same htc logo screen as before.

Tried with Android Flasher, but it gets stuck when trying to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img that u`ve given me.
So basically, I can`t enter Clockworkmod, I can`t enter the bootloader menu by turning on phone usine Volume-down+Power / Back+Power, and the phone is stuck in the HTC logo, while still S-OFF-ed, also the 2.3.3 official RUU gives me the error at the end of the installing process.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do?

Bortak, one million thanks for the help, patience and the time you`ve wasted.
I managed to pull it off in the end.
My desire lives again
And hey, if ever in Romania, let met know, got a couple of beer cases with your name on them
Thanks again, dude!

I have the exact same problem as i_cs_u.
I tried to use an RUU to install 2.3, I have alpharev cm7r2 installed and I get stack on the same step as i_cs_u. I successfully flashed bravo_alphaspl.img with "fastboot boot bravo_alphaspl.img", but which partition do I flash bravo_downgrade.img to?

Flash bravo_downgrade.img and then the RUU.

He probably figured out that he has to use the fastboot flash boot *name of img* command or Android Flasher on that screen with the 4 ! At the corner instead of renaming to PB99IMG and attempting to flash it on the phone.

The ruu i posted above should still work if your s-on, as it is an official signed image. Place it on your sdcard in no folders named exactly PB31IMG.zip. Boot to hboot and wait a few secs, hboot should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update.

I put the file in the root of my sd card but when i boot into hboot, I am not prompted with anything. I made sure that the file name is correct as well. Could there be something else I am doing wrong?

Try backing up and then reformating your sdcard fat32 with a pc. Then try again with only the PB31IMG.zip om the sd.

I can’t delete apps and I can’t reset my phone
For Gizmoe first time post, thanks for your info I found it with a google search, I was trying to follow your suggestion to FiFa_JockeR, but HTC does not have my phone on their web site. Can you please try to help me reset my phone somehow?
I have a HTC Incredible (ADR6300) and I just want to start over with this phone. Verizon stores no help, HTC customer service no help. They try to do what I’ve done already, “a factory reset”. But it just does not reset! with or without the SD card. This all started with the force closes on a few apps. Then I thought I would delete allot of apps just for the heck of it, then I ran into another problem. I can delete an app(s) while the phone is on but when the phone is rebooted or turned off then on again the deleted app(s) reappears. So I can’t delete apps and I can’t reset my phone. It’s exactly the same as FiFa_JockeR (just like the pictures) only we have different phones from HTC. PS phone has never been rooted.
