I have a non-working phone at the moment.
I unbranded from O2 stock and th phone updated to 2.2 from 2.1 fine.
There was a minor update OTA after that when things starded to go wrong. I had forgotten to put the gold card in before the update and it broke the wifi.
Got a downgrade tool back to HTC 2.1 and it worked ok, I just ignored any updates.
After a couple of months I decided to try updating again and did some research and found a couple of guides. This didn't work though, and now I'm stuck with a 2.2 phone that I can't seem to do anything with.
The downgrade does not work, it now says CID incorrect! Update Fail.
I have tried a couple of different cards in the phone but the phone says there is no card installed. I can't access the card form a PC either via USB. So I can't make a gold card - step 1 in just about every guide I've read.
I have tried Unrevoked and that just hangs or gets so far in and fails depending on the version I use.
The phone when turned on and left to itself reboots occasionally.
I'm also getting 'Process sytem not responding' errors.

Get the stock o2 RUU and flash that (gold card not needed) then root again
I have been thinking about rooting my HTC Desire, but I want to be able to unroot if I need to. Problem is I can only find RUUs for Verizon and I have a U S Cellular phone. Would Verizon's work for USCC?

Ok, you know I hate it when this happens. Was going to reply saying that I had tried the OS RUU I have several times and it never works. I was going to reply saying this but I though 'I'll just have one more go, at least then I can report what the exact error was'.
What do you know, it bloody well worked.
I'm stumped, must have done something different this time that I hadn't every other time.
Just have to remember where I put my backups now.
barfaroo there is now a ruu for the Us Celluar desire. it can be downloaded from the HTC site. I recommen rooting a doing the S-off to it before updating. If you do not.(which im stuck at not) after the update you will nto beable to root, until there is an update for rooting the new froyo for uscc.

Someone I know has gotten their Desire USB bricked. Normally that's a non-issue but there's a few erm... complications.
Here's how it occurred, they have an O2 branded Desire but somehow they managed to get the Android 2.2 update (No one else with an O2 Desire got it btw). As you'd imagine it caused quite a few issues, it apparently got to 80% then restarted went to 33% and then restarted. Now it's USB bricked.
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 has no effect meaning we can't SD card access
The current ROM has a Froyo version number and is very very unstable. It crashes after about 2 minutes and then reboots.
It's HBOOT 0.80 at the moment (Despite the OTA 2.2 update being HBOOT 0.92???) and using the HBOOT 0.80 rooting package I cannot get Step 1 to successfully execute. It gives error 41: remote id failure.
How to get back to older ROM after FROYO update messed everything up
Same issue here. I have an orange branded htc desire which I debranded, then updated to 2.2 Froyo without a goldcard and now have a bricked phone. No access to SD, Wifi, GSM, Force closes all the time, and reboots every couple of minutes in a loop.
Running update in recovery mode doesnt work, neither does running Stock RUU files on different versions with goldcard in phone.
Hboot is 0.80, 2.2 showing as installed. Unsure what to do next really, any suggestions would be great, there must be loads of people who have this issue now...

I had the same issue. Virgin UK phone. Used a zip version of the OTA Froyo and got stuck with it looping.
To fix it I created a new goldcard in my girlfriend's phone and used the same zip file on the goldcard to flash from the bootloader.
My phone has not been rooted.
Hope that helps and good luck.

I thought Goldcards could only be created in the phone you plan on using it in? I can still manage to create a goldcard using my phone, so maybe I have a different issue.
PS where did you get the OTA Froyo update?
Why u dont try?
http://www.unrevoked.com/#desire
This installs a custom Recovery but i think u need a Sdcard.
If yes call the devs for help if they could patch it that it runs with DataPartition or something else. If u have Hboot 0.80 Unrevoked works! 100%
Mines the same.....unfortunately I don't have access to another Desire, and none of the so called fixes work......I'm on Orange and this update has well and truly shafted my phone,now I have the most expensive brick in the house.....get in!
The problem you have is your sd card is not recognized so unrevoked doesnt work and neither does 'enabling' your sd card via adb devices....its all crap
I created my goldcard in an HTC Tattoo which worked like a charm. I used the sticky post at the very top of the development section for instructions. Once done I copied http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip to the SD card and renamed it to update.zip. make sure windows doesn't change it to update.zip.zip
I then installed it from the bootloader.
So all I really need to do is create a goldcard and it should work for him?
I'll tell him to give that a shot. It would be impossible to create a gold card with a proper CID though because as we all know ADB doesn't work with USB bricks.

I used this http://www.roothtchero.co.uk/goldcard-2
There's a tool to create a goldcard linked in the guide. Made it very easy. I'm really no expert but I think the cid isn't dependant on the phone, just the card. I couldn't get it to work in a card reader but was very straight forward when it was connected to the pc through my girlfriend's Tattoo. Didn't cause any problems with me using 64 bit windows 7 either.
Ok so that this is up front so that everyone understands.. I do not care about root and have no plans to root this phone for a while. (This is my primary phone and I need it working and not bricked)< I have personal reasons for not wanting root at this time so please don't ask.
Now my question is the following:
If I extract the rom.zip file from RUU that was leaked yesterday will I be able to just rename the file to PB31IMG.zip and place it in the root of my SD card. Then boot into hboot and apply the update?
From the threads I have found so far on how to do this state that the phone will do a quick reboot while applying this update. This is caused by the updating of hboot from what I have see. Then I'm suppose to just tell it again to apply the update. < Is Applying the update the second time safe?
Will this work to flash my phone to the new version of the android, hboot, radio and so forth? I just want to apply the update instead of waiting days or weeks for verizon to finally push it to my phone via OTA.
I'm currently with the following settings.
S-On
Hboot .77
Stock Android 2.1 update-1(not rooted)
radio 100
Additional Information.
I've tried just using the RUU but due to driver conflicts it keeps giving me the USB error. The most I've ever gotten was the phone into the bootloader then the RUU loses connection. Tried this on 3 machines now and it still fails. And yes I've installed HTC Sync only on 2 of those 3 machines and it still fails..
To be honest, I would say just wait for the OTA, Verizon themselves have confirmed it has been/will be released today 8/27. Then there will be no worrying, since you don't want root this would be the best way.

I'm sorry this has nothing to do with what you're asking, I've read, and don't know sorry man, but I do have a quick question for you. I see you have never rooted, or maybe or have, I thought maybe you hadn't for some reason, but anyway, I see you HBOOT it .77, how long have you had your phone since?
Yes I had rooted the phone recently for about 2 weeks then it got messed up but thanks to an unrevoked member I was able to recover the phone. It wasn't bricked or anything but some how the NAM was messed up which prevented me from using *228 to update roaming or my ability to activate the phone after a factory reset. I do remember it having hboot .79 before rooting though.
Update: I verified that the hboot in the stock restore img file I used had only hboot 77 in it and not 79. This means I downgraded to 77 without knowing it at first. (From the threads I have read it is stated that .77 and .79 are interchangeable so I don't think I need to worry about it when the ota comes I hope..)
I've had it for about 3 months now so I'm out of the return policy and I do like the phone and have no intention of returning it.
After trying root out for those 2 weeks I found that for me I didn't really gain anything that seemed worth it for my personal needs.
Also I like to tinker with stuff but since I'm in a 2 year contract I rather not take the risk of bricking it and having to pay for the next 2 years for service I can't even use due to my own fault of breaking the device.
Right now I'm just wondering if it is safe to apply the file that can be found in the ruu without root and without breaking the device since it has the same build number and radio number as the update that verizon has stated on the update page.
.77
I am on my third incredible, and all 3 shipped to me with v.77. Last one shipped was 8/9 (wow, maybe this one is a keeper).

were these all brand new phones, refurbs..?
To my understanding of this whole .77, .79 HBOOT is that these two are interchangeable and doesn't matter which one you have. I was just curious because at first I used the RUU that gave me software 1.22.605.0 and the latest is 1.22.605.2 and I never got an OTA update for the latest 2.1. but I think this is normal since the servers are doing the new thing.
and from what I think, if you had .77, and got the OTA for the latest 2.1 that came out a while ago, it kept the .77, but if you did the latest 2.1 through the RUU on ur computer instead of OTA it updated the HBOOT to .79 as well.
This is how it was with the Droid Eris with the leaks and stuff which blocked you out of root.

Phone # 1 - New ... would get hotter and hotter (even when not in use) until it would enter a reboot cycle. It would also reboot randomly during the day.
Phone # 2 - Refurb ... got it with a bad speaker, but otherwise it worked perfectly.
Phone # 3 - Refurb ... still going.

Well I took the plunge and can confirm that the method in my original post does work and without a hitch(For me at least.)I did this after reading another question thread that had a guy basically asking the same thing and was recommended just to follow to step 6. I cannot link to anything yet so I will just give you the thread title that is located in the Q&A section of this forum for the droid incredible.
Thread Title: "[Q] Applying RUU update to stock phone"
The phone did however reboot the bootloader and put me into fastboot. I did not pull the battery but instead selected bootloader again and it continued the update on its own.
I'm successfully not root and s-on with android 2.2(HTC stock)
Hboot .92
Stock Recovery.
*Before you say it.. I know I'm now not able to get root till unrevoked or another dev team releases new tools for this version. I did this by choice*
*I in no way will recommend anyone to do this and will not take responsibility for your phone being turned into a paper weight* < You have been warned..
Sooooo.. anyone want to clarify how to extract rom.zip from the RUU please?
Just download the extracted ROM. It's on page 6 or 7 in the RUU thread.

Hello,
I am trying to unroot my phone so i can send it back to HTC for repair, i have already unrooted about 12 months ago when my phone started rebooting and i kept the files to unroot but they dont seem to work now because i have hboot 0.93?
Everytime i try to run the RUU to downgrade my phone disconnects from HTC Sync with a 140 error.
I made a gold card and followed this guide.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256 but at the very last part the box closes and the new image is not flashed.
Can someone point me to the latest tutorial to unroot please?
Thanks.
You don't have to downgrade if you download the latest ruu.
You can find a lot of stock roms here:
http://ship.ibeta.org/shipped/Bravo/
Just make sure that if you are branded you download a branded rom.
What RUU did you keep for unrooting purposes? Might be a newer one out now
Thanks for the replies.
I was using this rom..... RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed
I managed to unroot it eventually, think it was something to do with the USB connection.
CHeers.
I think i may have messed up my phone now.....
After i unrooted, my phone seemed to be working fine and did not reboot once, so i thought i would root it again and see how it runs, i used unrevoked and it got as far as the message saying rooting phone was a triumph then it went to the next stage where it was removing itself but then my phone rebooted.
My phone is still not rooted and when i go into bootloader it takes a minute of checking then there is a message saying "CID incorrect"
The phone still boots up but i need to send it for repair, i want to flash the original RUU but i am getting the "Error [140]: Bootloader version error"
What can i do now to fix the bootloader?
Appreciate any help.
What software version are you running at the moment (Settings>About phone>Software information)?
Hi,
Here are the details.....

You can't run the old RUU over the top of FroYo, which is why it's failing
You could try downgrading and then run the TMO UK RUU you have but it might not work:

I would need to root to downgrade again? My my phone seems to go into a bootloop when connected to USB.
I am trying to get unrevoked to root the phone again but my phone reboots at the last part.
My phone managed to stay on long enough to root it again then i got it back to stock
My phone seems to run fine on stock rom....no reboots but if i root and put on a custom rom it start to reboot again.
Anybody think why?
I was hoping to send my phone back for repair then root again when it comes back but i can't send when it works fine on stock.
Cheers.
Hi guys just tried to install the 2.3 OTA update that came through today.
Problem is as soon as I try it reboots to the exclamation mark and android symbol.
I am ENG S-OFF Radio S-OFF Sim Unlocked and Perm Rooted.
I did however change my CID to the standard HTC 001.
What could be the issue? I'm not getting any error notifactions or if I am I don't know where to find them?
Any advice?
Have you removed any system apps? Or any of the bloatware they pack in stock builds?
No the only thing I have done is to permroot with Visionary and add radio s-off and supercid now I changed the cid back to stock in prep for the update coming. The ROM is completely standard and stock.
My current version and build info is as follows:
Android Version

Oh and when trying to use this tool after the failed OTA update attempt to change radio s-off back to on to see if that worked the program no longer seems to work returning failed probably connection errors: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Thanks for the quick reply.
Same problem as I have in my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081923&page=2
I think its becuase we have S-OFF that we cant get the update. I'd like to know how to get S-OFF back on
If you're both rooted, etc... Why don't you try Seraphics rooted GB ROM?
You can flash it via recovery and is completely stock, other than having root access.
You can find the thread HERE and the ROM HERE
I wouldn't mind knowing how to get S-OFF back on. Starting to wish I didn't root as I cant even get an OTA.
Same problem
I had the same problem ealier today. Yellow ! when the update shuts down the phone, but take out the battery and it loads back 2.2 up..
Tried undoing changes I could remember making- the radio s-off, rooting and the CID. Only other thing I could think of was trying to take clockworkmod recovery off the phone.
I decided just to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059563
...If you can flash roms, this is probably gonna be much the same as the update.
In the end I was actually pretty disappointed with it. I've tried RCMIX kingdom ROM which has elements of sense3 in it. I hadn't done my research and expected sense 3 with this update.
Thanks for the suggestions guys but I'll be frank and say custom roms aren't interesting me. I use Launcher Pro and make my own lockscreens for all my visual customisations and haven't seen any ROM that does anything out the ordinary other than tweaks.
Its knocked my confidence in using anything off here especially when the tool to s-off supercid and simunlock says its simple enough to go back where in reality after attempting OTA something in the settings somewhere has changed and screwed it up.
The ROM I linked to isn't a custom ROM. Its stock HTC gingerbread with root.

Thanks had a looked more in detail at the rom you linked to and have to say I'm convinced and can't be bothered with OTA anymore lol Decided to stop sitting on the fence and throw myself at the dev communities mercy lol Those using the Easy Radio tool won't be able to go back to s-on unless rooted and to do so ensure that you haven't denied access to an unamed process called "Unknown" in your superuser app as this refers to the radio tools access.

Purchased: Sim free n unlocked so zero branding on handset
I'm just completely stumped. I spent ages trying to get get unrevoked to work, but apparently not with 2.2.
So I got a downgrade guide, from here, and followed that to understand what I need to do. I've done the following:
[*]Installed HTC Sync, then uninstalled app to keep the usb drivers
[*]Installed the unrevoked HBOOT drivers to get the Bootloader Interface
[*]Downloaded the download kit and two more different image zips to the unrevoked reflash package (PD98IMG and PB99IMG 2.29.405.5 Radio 32.49.00.32U 5.11.05.27 release 159811 signed)
I run through the command line instructions in the guide and I get the hash temproot access in place, however, when I then reboot the handset I get the quick run through of each area and 'no image' under each one and then lastly I get a "no image or wrong image". As my phone is not branded I'm not using a goldcard (believe I don't need it from all comments) - which everything I've read tells me is a mem card or goldcard error. I've even reformatted my card in the phone - but still no luck.
I've now spent 2 days hunting the internet to work out what is going on...so any help, suggestions, confirmation I've been a total andriod noob would be appreciated ! I've spent my whole weekend trying to fix this, thanks Matt
PS: Only thing I can think to add is that the phone looks to be a Dubai region - hence my desire to root and v2.3 to get around marketapp nightmares.
Nooob - heal thyself...
The answer was in reading it all. Slowly.
I will suggest that in writing it all down slowly I realised I'd confused some steps from unrevoked attempts to the downgrade. So I went back to the guide...and read the bit at the top again and its the only place I ever saw mention of regional phones needing a gold card. So I used the addictivetips guide and excellent gold card tool and I was away !
Looks like I've downgraded it. So...now to crack on with root and ROM !
Format your SD card to FAT32 format, no formatting to default. That should make it work. Reason being bootloader only reads FAT32 or lower
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
I have the same phone. It's made for Iran. The only way to solve your problem is the gold card.

Just wondering why you got urself in so much trouble, u should've tried visionary plus to root your device... if rooting was the only thing you wanted..(as what i understood from a quick glance to ur post)..
