Hi people, I have screwed up majorly.
I own a rooted froyo stock HTC Desire and got tired of seeing the update notice on the small OTA updates HTC have made. Since my phone was rooted, I was unable to actually install it normally because it would give me some error and exit as you all know.
When I finally had enough, I downloaded the update and renamed it to update.zip, placed it in the root directory of my SD card and proceeded to install it through Clockworkrecovery. In the beginning it proceeded as normally by installing, but somewhere it screwed up and I was stuck in the infinite reboot thing. The HTC logo would appear and seconds later it would turn off and start over again.
I then tried to boot into clockwork recovery to run the update again, but alas I couldnt. It now says "E:Cant open /cache/recovery/command" now I am stuck in the normal recovery system.
Is there any way out of here? I have tried to download Cyanogenmod and rename to update.zip and install, but file verification fails. I know it was a longshot.
I dont think it's bricked....
"All" you have to do is get an official RUU - put it in fastboot mode and run the RUU
That way u get a unrooted stock rom.
After that u can root again using Unrevoked and get the rooted 2.29.405.5 rom
the one i use is : RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe

Mange tak!
I am downloading the official RUU now, but just to be sure:
I enter fastboot mode by powering the phone on, holding volume down. Then I connect the phone to my computer and run the .exe?
yup - that should be it...

Just make sure your desire isnt branded, else running the WWE RUU wont work.

Well its not branded, but got another issue.
I only have access to a computer with Windows 7 and got error 170. I have been searching and all the guides to bypass it requires the phone to be turned on and connected to HTC Sync, for above reasons I am not able to do so.
Any ideas?
Edit: Seems like I got it working, used this guide to correct my USB drivers.

Hi,
i tried to install the OTA 1.72.405.3 via WIFI, downloaded it and let the installation routine work. Then i got a red triangle with an explanation mark and the installation stopped. I looked up the log file and found the problem.
A month ago i deinstalled Stock.apk via Titanium Backup (exploit remove) using temproot by visionary. So now i can't get the OTA Update on the usual way.
Now i downloaded the update manually from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885996
Is it possible to simply rename it as update.zip, put it on the sd-card and let it run? I don't have root, uninstalled visionary, TB, and the superuser.apk. I don't need s-off or something like that at all, just want to get the phone running.
Do i have to reinstall the stock.apk (how to do that??), do i have to fully flash the phone or can i just let it run with the update.zip on phonecard?
thanks for your help!
I posted this in a very similar thread.
Seems like the PermRoot breaks the update.
There are countless other threads saying basically the same.
Installed Visionary+, Rooted, Removed HTC apps, OTA Update doesn't work.

You could try installing via bootloader, but your DHD would return to factory settings.
Download This ROM. Rename it to PD98IMG.zip and place on your SD Card.
Turn off your DHD (Disable FastBoot) and power on holding VOL DOWN.
Your DHD will then apply the update itself. With the new update you will not be able to root, HTC have fixed the exploit Visionary+ used. A new method to root will have to be found.

did it and workt out well!
a big big thank you
No problem.
well it seems like i was a bit to quick.
made everything like you said in your post, update went through cleanly. turned off phone over night, restarted it this morning and the update was gone. retried it by putting the file in the sd-root-folder (renamed) and started the phone with vol-down and power. Phone was loading and checking image and then gave me the normal bootloader options (fastboot/recovery/....) and then stopped and waited for input.
what do i have to select then to get the update permanently?
Well, i now redownloaded the OTA update and it failed , red triangle and explanation mark. anybody got a suggestion?
Ok,
by starting phone via HBOOT my DHD gets the PD98IMG.zip, loads it, checks it and then directs me into HBOOT Menu. What do i have to do then?
Pushing Recovery tells me there is an error in opening some comand on drive e:
do i have to make a factory reset now?
Funny, yesterday my phone instantly booted with that image.
It does sound very odd. Have you tried running This Official HTC RUU from your computer?
i took the ruu you gave me in an earlier post and put it on the sd-card.
the image is, as i said, loaded and checked and then i get into hboot with the normal options :-( what am i doing wrong?
if i take the exe it will be a full flash, right? all data gone
Yes if you run that .exe from your computer, it will perform the flash process again.
What is your Android Version? Settings > About > Android Version -
Android Version 2.2
Baseband 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_m
Kernel: 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
buildnumber: 1.32.405.6 CL278359
software number: 1.32.405.6
Yes that is certainly pre-update. Did your DHD have S-OFF before you attempted any of this?
no
i never turned s-off. just temproot with visionary, deleted stock.apk using titanium and then removed both (TB and Visionary). that's all i did. How can i get the image i downloaded and that is loaded in HBOOT running?
Ok, from what I can gather. The DHD Security (S-ON) has restored your handset back to the way it was. The update should of overwritten S-ON with the new firmware, but it hasn't.
Have you tried running that RUU from your computer?
ähm, no... no possibility... mac user...
Ah, hmm.....
You could attempt through a Virtual Machine, but thats a lot of extra hassle.
What I would suggest is to run through the whole Rooting, S-OFF, SuperCID & Radio S-OFF and attempt the PD98IMG.zip again.
what happens if i let the image load and select factory reset? will he take the image vor reset?
I'm not sure, you could try it.
installed a windows version via bootcamp and tried to run the exe. didn't work first, couldn't connect. then it connected, started bootloader but got a timeout because windows driver update needed to long to get an android 1.0 HTC Bootloader driver. After that, Phone hung, turned it of and now again Error 170, can't connect to phone...
Have you installed HTC Sync in your Windows environment? Or the Android SDK?
Hey guys,
I had a friend root my phone and wanted to unroot it, I wasnt sure how to do it so i stupidly did stuff without reading first.
I am running unrevoked it seems and i went into recovery and did a factory reset. Well my phone still wouldnt accept the OTA update so i went back into recovery and deleted data and a few other options. Well i have been reading and been trying to reflash my phone back so i can use it again. Well i dont have an OS anymore it seems so the only thing my phone does is go to the bootloader. ( white screen with options Fastboot, Recovery, ect. )
I downloaded an image file and the bootloader checked it and said Main version older and failed to install. So i did more reading and flashed the unrevoked zip again and tried again. didnt work, so i have been downloading every image i can find tring to get it to install and it never does. It says i am missing file PC36diag.zip and PC36diag.nbh or NBH file is not correct. It then unpacks the img file i have on there then checks it, then nothing happens ( that is with the other image files i dled not the original ) And when i say nothing happens i mean it says checking, then just goes back to the bootloader screen. I dont know what to do. Any help?
Did you try Z4 mod to un-root?
No,
This link is the method i was using to unroot

Have you tried running the RUU yet? I would give that a try. Also, I believe that when you get the 'main version older' error, it has something to do with what version hboot you have on your phone. There are many different PC36IMG.zips and many different RUU's. I believe you need to find the correct one for your phone. I would try the RUU first though, and see if you can get your phone back up that way. You run the RUU from your computer, and have the phone plugged in via USB. I will provide a couple links, one that contains every RUU and PC36IMG (all software versions), and another that has a bunch of factory ROMS. Hope it works for ya.

You've got good advise on the RUU. I already did it to bring my Evo into a store to be looked at.
In the Evo Development thread you'll find one or more posts with links to the Evo RUU files. If you have a 002 or 003 hardware version Evo, download the 3.29.x version RUU; if you have an 004 you can get the latest 3.70.x file.
Connect your Evo to your PC via the USB cable, run the RUU file on your PC, and befor eyou know it, you've got an unrooted, completely stock Evo. Add your info again, run the OTA updater to get you back to the latest version, and enjoy your stock Evo.
I hope this helps. Thank you for your time.
This is really starting to look like a megaupload advertisement
I'm having trouble unrooting my evo and have to ship it back in 4 days. I,ve tryed the unrevoked s-on and it worked but reflash pc36img didn't take tried 3 or 4. going to try this but what do I do to phone to connect? disk drive?
i was also having this problem yesterday but i did it. i rooted using the autoroot program. i unroot using the ruu . heres what i did first download htc sync for your evo then plug in your phone to the pc. turn off your phone. turn it on to the bootloader . leave it there dont do anything else. then run ruu , if you get an error message keep on trying it . also google for the ruu program. hope this help
Hello,
I've a Desire were Cyanogen 7 is installed - as I need to return the phone I need to restore the Stock-ROM.
Have downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe but when I try to install the phone stuck during the 1st reboot (HTC logo on black background appears) and then the RUU aborts (waiting for bootloader.....then error 171).
What have I missed?
Thanks for your help!
Is that the RUU that your phone came with?
No, downloaded from a link here at the forum - got the wrong one?
The thing u have to do is first install htc sync, then connect ur phobe to the pc, when ur phone reboot by installation ur internet should be turned off. Its the driver that creates problem. Works for me perfectly..

I had problems installing from RUUs, I used a zip file. Look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10417988#post10417988
I got the same problem.
Need to return to stock but for me it won't even recognize the Phone when i plug it in. Which is strange because i can access the files through windows and all, but it says it's not connected in the RUU. :S
I think my "problem" ist ClockWork - it seems that the phone don't get into the bootloader (??) required to flash.
If I disconnect the usb while the HTC logo is shown it switchs to the loader and I can see a line RRU (normaly there are the four lines)
The first part seem to work (check phone, initiate reboot, ....)
SOLVED:
Just killed the RUU while the device showed the HTC logo and restarted the RUU.
Then the update recogniced the bootloader and installed the stock ROM.
what do u mean by killing the RUU?
*g* Windows TaskManager & killed Process
or you colud just run the ruu from fastboot lol its much easier and less likely to brick ur phone than force closing the ruu in the process of searching for the fone
oh....hmmm....
Good point - tried a lot but never tried that....damn
1st you have to flash the ...bootlloader for stock romss ...the same way u did before installing .cm7
u can find it here
alpharev.nl
flash alpharev for stock rom..... and then do a full wipe and install the rom through recovery
u cannot install stock froyo over alpharev cm7
boot.
Yes you can as the RUU replaces the AlphaRev HBOOT with the stock one. I've done it with no issues
Hi,
My first phone was rooted and I rooted my second too so I am confident rooting them however my second phone which had been rooted for a while had a space issue on SD card so I cleared out a few things which unfourtunatley included all the backup files ....
It worked fine afterwards but didnt let me change rom (using rom manager) so I just left it in working order for a few months until I wanted to reflash a new rom (as I am sure most people do every few months)
When it didnt let me, I tried to unroot and root options using superoneclick and unrevoked3 however, unrevoked 3 just stayed on "running root" and superoneclick got so far and crashed. When I go into the bootloader, it says something about some filed missing (think might be some nbh files).
At the moment, when normally turning the phone on, it stays on the screen with the pink circle, the first boot screen.
I have tried updating it using the RUU but it takes a long time and then says "use the correct rom for your device" which I am, this method just boots my phone and goes to a htc logo.
I can also get into the bootloader but when I apply update.zip, it says it has failed and something about files not existing/step 7 failure.
The thing is, I can get to fast boot and I am sure there is a way via ADB to force a new image (such as a cyanogen recovery image) on to the device.
Can anyone tell me how to push an image to the phone without using the RUU (as this didnt work for me)??
Maybe my phone is just bricked
Thank you very much!!
It. Is. Not. Bricked.
You can only push files onto the phone through fastboot if you are S-OFF (are you?)
Have you tried to enter recovery? boot into Bootloader (vol down + power) and then select recovery. Does it work?
no?
Then you need a goldcard. Make one with your working Desire, stick it in your misbehaving one, and then run the latest WWE RUU (link on my guide, check #resources)
Thanks but I do not have another Desire...
Any card reader
yeah, I got a card reader laying around somewhere, if not ill go get one in Tesco, what where you thinking?

Hi Bortak, I am having similair problems with my phone sticking on the pink circle screen. I cant seem to load a recovery file from Bootloader. Will I need to make a Gold Card, my phone is s-off.
thanks mate
if phone is S-OFF go to my guide, look at advanced boot problems S-OFF.
SOLVED WOOHOO!
Thank you to all who helped but I managed to fix it my own way.
For anyone still having trouble...
I still had the cyanogen mod bootloader soo all I did was download the latest cyanogen mod rom and apply it (you can mount sd card from cm bootloader) and after a hairy minute, it finally booted up!

Hey guys, im running 5.0.2 atm. i want to unroot my htc one m9 because i have no reason for it to be rooted really. i was hoping to be able to use game killer and those memory editors, but no available version for the new lollipop. so i want to unroot. I have the stock rom and adb files ready on my pc. but when i try to issue a command to my phone, it says the device is offline. and yes the pc's fingerprint is allowed. if you are going to suggest i download drivers or anything like that please link it. i have tried updating drivers and all that, says it is working properly. thanks in advance!!
EDIT: Ok as of right now, my main concern is flashing the stock rom, which i downloaded, and renamed the 0pjaimg.zip thing. I typed "fastboot flash zip 0pjaimg.zip" and it says "error can not load '0pjaimg.zip'" what do i do?

Yea I tried that, didn't work. I ended up almost having a heart attack haha. I went to wipe but accidentally wiped everything on my phone, my data , the root, and even the OS. I was stuck in download mode and boot loader, could not boot into recovery. And I was stupid enough to not have a backup. I ended up reflashing a ruu (thru my PC with a ruu utility) several times and it finally worked. My phone now is unrooted and I removed the boot loader. I achieved by beginning goal with a big hiccup before hand haha. I will now make a back up of my phone today lol. And I had titanium backup up, but it said I didn't have root access(when my device was rooted) so I figured if half the root perks weren't working, I'll just unroot, which I am happy I did. Don't have to worry about harming my device anymore. Game killer and all those memory editors didn't work anyway so root was useless to me

When I unrooted using SuperSu it ruined my installation also. I was stuck in a bootloop until I installed TWRP and reinstalled SuperSu, terrible!!! It eventually unrooted and I relocked bootloader but nothing worked so I was forced to root and unlock bootloader again.
I am wondering though, how did you return to stock? I really want the latest AT&T stock but when I install that RUU .exe it gives me error 155 so I can't install it. I was using 1.32 stock AT&T and wanted to install 2.6 (I think that's what it is, it's Android 5.1).
I am S-On, and not S-off, could that be an issue? Bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted now.
You know how u r supposed to rename the ruu u want to flash (assuming you downloaded the stock ruu for your carrier and device). The problem for me was, I could never connect my device thought adb after I rooted it (fast boot worked when I put it in fastboot). Even when I could give a command , it could never load the ruu. So what I did, was right click the ruu and click run as admin. It should open up a page on the top saying something about a ruu/rom utility. Make sure you device is connected and had usb debugging( before you got stuck in the loop hopefully). Now click accept and all that good stuff on the utility, it should scan your phone and show u your current rom image, and then show you the latest rom image. Click update and it will boot your phone to boot loader and begin sending it to your phone. IMPORTANT: DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE. Now here's the catch, if it said it failed or something about a USB error, close the program and start it up again. If your phone is stuck without the download bar moving(displayed on your phone), you are going to have to hard reset it. Google how to do it for your device (just a button holding combination). And start the program again. It will take a couple times for the program to work (mine took about 5-6 times). But it will work sooner or later. I am not home atm, but when I get home, I will find the link to the page where this info is displayed in a more orderly fashion and with pictures. It will be tonight, probably about 9 hours. Try this though, if it is too confusing, wait till I post the link. Good Luck!!
EDIT: Sorry just got back home from a long day haha, I'll be sure to look for the link tomorrow. But my directions above should be good, give it a try.
