[Q] Restore for Warranty claim - Desire General

Hi folks,
need your help..
I am currently using the RUU of
PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
HBOOT: 0.93.0001
and I need to revert back too....
RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
I tried to install the O2 RUU, by extracting the Rom.zip and renaming to PB99IMG.zip, but got a "Main version is older" message.
How do I accomplish this? I would really appreciate the help...
Thanks

Using your gold card, follow this:

Then flash the o2 RUU

That ROM isn't Bootloader/HBOOT 0.80.
This ROM is HBOOT 0.80:

This ROM isn't for HBOOT 0.80 either, I have goldcard and my Desire only ever lets me unroot to the Virgin RUU Rom.
This one worked for me with HBOOT 0.80
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
Same problem for myself, this is what worked for me on Bootloader 0.80:
1) Using goldcard in the phone.
2) Run this RUU
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
3) Plug phone in when prompted on the RUU.
4) Done...
I spent 3 days trying to get this to work, used countless different RUU which gave me the 130 error, in the end this was the one that worked for me. Hope you have the same success...
Exactly, as GCQ, just 2 days of nightmare. I managed to flash some ROMs, but they kept restarting the device every 10 minutes ) The same happened even after FroYo update without goldcard and not wiped system (I'd say not having the goldcard was the issue)

This does not work with 0.80 HBOOT ! ! !
There is no RUU for the 0.80 Bootloader Version.
Your HBOOT is irrelevant. You can only flash an RUU that has an equal or higher software number. So if you're on 1.21.405.2 you cannot flash 1.19.x.
done it, using this RUU :

[Q] Upgrade HBOOT

Hi there
i have Hboot 0.80 And I want to S-OFF my phone!
alpharevx for HBOOT 1.01
what do i do?
Thanks all
It took me ages but probably because I took the long way round.
I think I formatted my SD card and made as gold card, then used the RUU tool in the Arabic RUU thread below this one.
That worked for me after a day of trial and error. I guess there is a quicker way. Search the forums I know alot of rooting guides have popped up since Alpha-Rev release.

Just go to Unrevoked.com, download their app and S-OFF+ROOT+Recovery install on your phone. HBOOT 0.80 is rootable, because it's the old version. You don't need Alpharev X.

It will not give S-OFF. Just a Custom Recovery and root. If you want S-OFF, you will have to go for AlphaRev X.

I did it by flashing RUU with Froyo (this update HBOOT) and next, I used alpharevx.
Thanks a lot
I'll download the froyo RUU and then write my result here.

try that it works for me...just select the applicable RUU to your region then your S-OFF!!!
I got HBOOT 1.02 after running RUU but when I run alpharevx it still got s-off.
Don't forget to install and uninstall HTC Sync so you won't encounter driver issues.
Then when your already s-off follow the instructions on the link below then that's it you got full control!!!

i tried almost all RUUs..dosent work...i get error 171 cn u pls tell me wht is wrong?
im on hboot .80 nd wnt to upgrade

Issues after running RUU

I did run RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed RUU. (unbranded desire)
Looks like everything worked fine, i had no errors whatsoever, system is booting fine but:
1. i'm still S-OFF
2. my hboot is 6.93.1002 (i was cm7r2, but i did run downgrader and flashed stock hboot)
3. radio is 5.11.05.27 (it keeps scanning when i turn it on, and i cannot connect to WIFI at all, it see my channel and others but just wont connect)
What's wrong?
Edit:
I fixed WIFI issue, point 1 & 2 are still to fix any ideas?
Edit2:
After flashing downgrade.img again the hboot is 6.93.9999 now.
you seemed to do everything correctly, okay, flash the stock bravo HBOOT from alpharev, then flash the downgrade utility. Extract rom.zip (you know how to do that right) from the RUU, and then extract the HBoot.nb0 file (from rom.zip).
Once you've got that, put it in a zip with the android-info.txt file and name the .zip file PB99IMG.zip... this is EXACTLY what I did and it gave me the stock S-ON Hboot Then obviously put it in root of sd
Try that, hope it helps
EDIT: sorry I dunno why I gave you that info.txt when it's in rom.zip as well :s and just remembered it won't work for you since it for Vodafone :L ahh I'm an idiot sometimes
You need to flash downgrade HBOOT in order to go S-ON.
I did even twice, prior to flashing stock hboot and also after RUU did it job, went back to see if i'm still s-off. Was still s-off so i flashed downgrade.img again but still s-off and alpharev hboot (6.93.9999)
I will try what bortak suggested though.
yeah when you flash the downgrader it wiull say "Alpharev Unlock", and HBoot version is 6.93.9999
Try the method I told you about, worked for me.
okay I just realised what you did wrong.. you said you flashed the downgrader BEFORE you flashed bravo_stock, which means you still had a normal alpharev Hboot which could not be overwritten. You need to flash the downgrader THEN run the RUU, without any other steps in between. (or again, you could just flash the stock HBoot.nb0 that you can find in rom.zip with the android-info.txt in a PB99IMG.zip)
I had to flash downgrader first because i had CM7r2 hboot originally, and i wouldnt be able to flash stock without downgrading hbooot i think.
Nope, you can flash alpharev Hboots over each other no problem. Only need to flash the downgrader when you want to use the RUU to get S-ON
Did you try my method? did it work? are you S-ON now?
sorry to bump this thread after it's been dead for so long..I have a HTC Desire that I've just unrooted to o2_uk 2.14. I used FastbootCommander v 1.1 to flash HBOOT_Downgrade then I ran the o2_uk ruu but I'm still with AlphaRev Unlock 6.93.9999 s-off HBOOT on PVT1. I tried Bortak's method of downgrading the hboot, I took the rom.zip from the ruu gingerbread 2.3 found in my temp folder, copied it to the desktop then deleted all files other than android-info.txt and copied hboot_8x50_1.02.0001_SF.nb0 to it then copied it to the root of my sdcard as pb99img.zip rebooted but recovery wouldn't flash it....can someone help me please? Even a way of flashing *.nb0 file to the phone.

PB99IMG.zip files are not flashed with recovery, they are flashed using the bootloader. Load into the bootloader (vol down+power) wait for it to search and find the PB99IMG.zip file, press vol up when they say: 'apply update? Vol up to confirm, vol down to cancel' and then press the power button to confirm it.

in the bootloader..that's what I meant, it never asked me if I wanted to apply the update, it just did it's check og pb99diag, pb99img etc but didnt recognise the pb99img as an update file. but nevermind, i've solved it using fastbootcommander v1.5.1..i flashed pb99img_bravo_stock then pb99img_downgrade then the 2.14 o2_uk ruu and i now have back 0.93.0001 happy days!!
I'm also trying to S-On my desire through this method but after flashing downgrade zip from alpharev, my RUU gives hboot version error.. Please help..

RUU
guys, found this thread on my mission to restore ruu, s-on and unroot my device.
guess why? because i'm also s-off after the whole procedure.
i was running CM7r2 with Hboot 6.93.1002 before and then flashed alpharev stock hboot, then alpharev bravo downgrader. i installed the ruu and everything works out fine. i just always stay with s-off, no matter what i try.
tried bortak's solution from this thread too. didn't help.
now that i can't send fastboot commands and have no recovery either i have to keep flashing things via PB99IMG.zip method. i try the downgrader from alpharev and it says "alpharev unlocked". i then install another ruu but afterwards it will stick with s-off.
please help!
thx,
v.
Could try the 2.3 RUU...
phone was not branded, so i need to stick with the WWE versions.

2. flash alpharev downgrader
3. install ruu from pc

Hence why I said to try the 2.3 RUU, because it's different from the 2.2 ones...
BTW that RUU is the last thing your phone will ever see if it goes wrong, so do it at own risk.
hehe, first you only had "3" written there, so i thought you meant the network provider "3".
ok, so a 2.3 ruu. sure i'll try one, do you have a link?
and why would it be the last one? could i not go back to a 2.2 ruu afterwards?

there is only one. There is a link on my guide.
If the process goes okay, then yes you may, however you need to S-OFF first, then flash the alpharev downgrader, then the 2.2 RUU.
hey bartok,
flashing 2.3 also didn't get rid of my s-off.
how come i can't get s-on? what could be the problem with my phone?
my warranty ends in 2 days and i would really like to send it in for repair. what's causing all the trouble here? everyone just seems to flash the downgrader and then install the ruu. but i'm always stuck with s-off.
please help,
thx,

[Q] Go Back to Stock

Hi Everyone, sorry for the noob question here but I need to take my phone in for warranty so I'm looking for some help on putting my phone back to stock.
Currently my Desire is running CM7.1 RC1, Radio 5.11.05.14, S-OFF with AlphaRev, HBOOT 0.93.1000, and rooted with unRevoked3
From what I've been reading online I should be able to flash the RUU at the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 however I'm not sure which one is the correct one for Telus?
I do have a nandroid backup from before I did S-OFF and I think even before I did root it. Not sure if that helps me out or not.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
Thanks!
Telus is this one:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151557_signed.exe
If you used the latest alpharev to S-OFF, you may need to flash the downgrader hboot for the RUU to work.
Thanks for the link, when I go to run it I get the following error.
ERROR[152]: IMAGE UPDATE ERROR
From reading the ReadMe it says "One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again."

[Q] Need to get back to stock

Hi,
I currently have a custom rooted gingerbread rom installed on my Desire with clockworkmod recovery, S-ON and HBOOT 0.80.
Problem is, I'm sending my phone off to Vodafone for recycling so need to revert software to stock.
When I try to install the latest Vodafone ROM I get a bootloader error in the RUU program (presumably because my phone needs to be HBOOT 0.75?)
I've tried flashing just a generic RUU but I get a Customer ID error when doing it. I've tried creating a goldcard but still get the same CID error in the update utility.
Any ideas on a method of getting this back to stock?
I've been going round in circles! Thanks in advance
This is step by step quide for unrooting you htc mobile phone,rember unrooting is more dangerous than rooting.You will acheve this by updating RUU ROM,this will remove custom ROM and root.
Before starting charge up your phone and secure power to you PC.
Step1
Go to shipped-roms.com>Android,and choose RUU(for desire gsm its RUU_BRAVO...)
(its recommended to check MD5 hash,to be sure that file is correct)
Step2
Open RUU file>check box...I understand the risk...>Next
(Be sure that you pass all 3 conditions)
Step3
Connect your phone to PC via USB>Click Next(if you have custom ROM it will show its name)>Click Update>Click Next(Update process is in progress,dont interrupt it)
Congratulations!Your ROM update is complete!
Done this, as mentioned, can't flash a generic rom due to the phone being CID locked to Vodafone UK. Tried creating a goldcard but still getting the CID error.
Can't flash the Vodafone UK Rom as my hboot is 0.80 and not 0.75 which is what the last Vodafone Rom is.
I've got root and have tried extracting the rom from the vodafone ruu but when I go to flash it via recovery I get the following error
E:Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip
(bad)

you don't flash the rom.zip from recovery
rename it to PB99IMG.zip exactly, and not PB99IMG.zip.zip
put it on the root of your goldcard, reboot into bootloader, should find the file, then accept.
got that from here
if it doesn't work have you looked at bortak's troubleshooting guide, stickied to top of Q&A...
Thank you sooooo much! Worked a charm
