HBOOT 1.76.0007 will only boot HTC signed images.
If you can get into normal OS of the phone there is a way.
You can use flashrec to get a custom recovery image on it.
Follow these instrcutions from the Unlockr:

Follow it closely, once you have the new recovery flashed you can update HBOOT.
WARNING: Flashing your HBOOT is risky and you may brick your phone. I'm not responsible
I've got a HBOOT 1.76.0004 signed zip you can use to flash your HBOOT.

Hope this helps. If you got any more questions, it's better to ask them before flashing

I will give it a try. Thanks for your help.

Is there anbody who knows how to flash HBOOT 1.73.0004 without sd card???
My phone doesn't recognize sd cards anymore. That was the reason why i have flashed the new ROM with RUU. I thought that it maybe will work. There is another thread for this.

I can't get the new recovery since my build can't except adb or fastboot boot. Is their away to update the hboot other than that?

Any one success in using fastboot to boot the recovery image in ruu mode as show in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559204 ?

It doesn't work in RUU mode. I have tried all ways. I try flashing hboot with zip file and with img file directly.
Every time ERROR - <<writing 'hboot'... INFOsignature checking... FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)>>.
I have tried flashing recovery to patched with the same ERROR occurred. Also boot command in RUU mode with patched recovery doesn't work.

Have you guys tried using the latest flashrec to get a custom recovery on the phone?

I have tried flashrec-1.1.2-20090909 and doesn't work, if you check out this forum , we have been trying to see how to fix this problem with no luck so far

I have tried with flashrec and it works, successful with some custom recovery images. However, if I keep the stock ROM Hero 1.5, I don't have root access (su commands are not allowed). With some custom ROM like Modaco 3.0, Hero 2.1 (v1.5), I do have root access with su and I can use some apps like AppsToSD, QuickBoot....
I tried to go back to the stock ROM Hero 1.5 to root but I couldn't get root access on this ROM, anyone knows how to deal with this?

are you sure your HBOOT is 1.76.0007

There is a later version of Flashrec... i have no idea if it will help or work but give it a go... its available here: http://zenthought.org/system/files/asset/2/flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk

[Q] Unable to use Unrevocked on my HTC Desire !

Hello,
I wanted to post in dedicated post in development section but I don't have enough message posted for that !
I'm trying to install a custom ROM on my Desire (non operator version, stock rom). So I rooted it with VISIONary+ and it looks to have succeeded. Then I installed RomManager to install Clockworkmod ! When I select Flash Clockworkmod in RomManager it states after few seconds that it downloaded it but not that it flashed it When I reboot with recovery mode I get the default android menu and not the one of Clockworkmod. What's wrong ?
I tried also with latest version of unrevocked but it hungs up at end stating "Root failed: perhaps your firmware is too recent !"
Here are all infos of my phone in Boot:

Hey I was facing similar issues few days back, use the RUU for your device to restore it to factory settings and then try unRevoked again.
also this is my post -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970566 hope this helps

To confirm, the 2.29.405.5 software is what was on your phone when you got it? If so, use unrEVOked 3.21 as this seems to work for most people (although I had no issues using 3.32 with the same version as you)

Yep I tried unRevoked with old version of amon_ra but no better luck, so I'm going to flash it to RUU and try again. Where should I find the RUU ? I just need to copy it at root of sd card and then in boot mode I select that file and that's it, right ?
Update: I found the link in forum with RUU for Desire Considering mine is an official HTC phone, not branded by any carrier, I should use one of these I suppose but which one :
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
Update bis: these are all windows update programs so no way to use them for me as I run on Mac, and in Parallels on Mac, Desire doesn't appear as USB peripheral I can attach to Windows when it's in boot mode

Nope when I got it it was probably in Android 2.1 or 2.2 not sure and then I did the OTA update offered by HTC Latest one is few months away !

I had issues with the latest unrevoked and I was getting a failed message. When i removed my sd card everything goes well.
So give it a try without your sd card, who knows it might work for you too!
P.S I have the same HBOOT and android version with you.

Why are you usung unrevoked anyway? Since you are s-off you can easily flash a new recovery via fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
I don't think you can use unrevoked on an already rooted device - but not sure though.

Did you use Alpharev to S-Off?
When trying unrevoked, did you uncheck "disable security" (or similar) before hitting the button?
EDIT: Sry, I hit reply instead of edit.
It is really strange that you are S-Off. Maybe you are one of the few people having eng-bootloader from stock?
Probably runnung an RUU is your best bet.

oky so I reinstalled RUU 2.29.405.5 with success ! and then tried to run Unrevoked and it finishes with same error as previously (Backup CID is missing, I ran it without security Options !).
If I try to run UNrevoked with Amon_Ra 2, I get Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new ?
With Amon_Ra 0.93 same error about CID missing !
With Clockwork mod 2.5.0.7, same error about CID missing !
I'm desperated It looks like my phone can't be upgraded easily Any other ideas ?
Thanks for all,

In the info you stated s-on.
Shouldn't it be s-off for flashing.
Did you try reflashing recovery through fastboot and then trying to boot into recovery using HOLD vol. - and PRESS power?

When will you guys learn to search and also that a bricked phone doesn't do anything more than a brick can do? (hence the word bricked) You can't turn on a brick can you? I.e. your phone is not bricked...

how about you listen to hawk.
Find the RUU for your exact version. Only that will work on your device in its current state.

Agreed. Once you have flashed the RUU you can root s-off etc.

i can find a zip file which name is Desire_HD_1.37.921.1_stock_twn.zip. I couldnt find a RUU.exe just find a zip file. How can i use it?
i think i use this zip file with clockwork recovery. But the question is how can i install clockwork recovery at my situation.
Is it possible to install with this command " fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img " for example.
Any idea? Any suggestion?

You can't install clockwork as you don't have s-off.
You need to find the .exe RUU.
Check through the posts left by hawks. If they don't work search google. Also if You still can't find one. Check the htc website for an RUU update. Depending on on your operator you may need an RUU from them instead. I know t-mobile uk release seperate updates from htc.

Bootloop on Desire HD

Hi Peeps. Appreciate any help here.
Recently got 02 faulty Desire HD from someone. No idea what he did. One of it has a bootloop, while the other is just stuck on the HTC logo. I will just concentrate my problem on the device with the bootloop as it seems to have a higher chance of recovering.
Was able to boot to HBoot and shows me this screen. I will type it out as I have no access to camera for now.

Have you fastboot flashed a recovery?

Firstly. is there anything to make it S-OFF? Couldn't find a method that works. Most of it I found requires to boot into Android which is impossible for my case.
Also tried to put PD98IMG.zip in SD card to flash it, but give CID incorrect error.

Knowing what the error was would be helpful. Of you want S-Off you need to relock and do it manually.

actually what really matters to me is that I can get it working to stock rom. Rooting can be done later... but I cant even get it flashed to stock rom!!

I will try my best to explain cause I have no idea what's happening...
1. used fastboot using CMD to flash CWM to recovery. Error: signature verify fail.
2. Tried RUU.exe to flash. Simply says the update could not be completed.
Is there any thing I could do with Hboot or Fastboot that could revive the phone? I think I tried almost all methods... unless there is other ways that I have not tried...

Are you unlocked? Exactly what command did you use to flash? Are you drivers properly installed (HTC Sync with phone unplugged)? Did you flash from the folder containing your recovery.img?

1. I'm on s-on. Does it matters?
2. Bootloader should be unlocked after flashing the unlock.bin from htcdev.com. I saw the *** UNLOCK *** when I go into HBOOT.
3. Command I used was *fastboot flash recovery recover.img*. The recover.img is actually the CWM recovery.
4. HTC Sync is installed.
4. Yes i did. It gave me FAILED status. Error: Signature verify error.
I will try to snapshot whatever process I did to make my explanation clearer later part of the day.

Make sure the file name is correct of the recovery.img file
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Signature check is failing or the .img file is flaw (try downloading again) or your bootloader is not unlocked in its whole. That happens from time to time. Try using this recovery image (touch CWM):

[Q] Error 191 when using RUU - Rom not supported

G'day Guys,
I am trying to root my desire HD. currently 2.3.5
I initially followed the HTCDEV method
For my phone which downloaded the RUU program. PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
this is for Desire HD Vodaphone australia.
I ran the RUU successfully once. It supposedly upgraded the image from 2.12.178.2 to 3.13.0.0
apon rebooting into the fastboot screen as per the HTCDEV instructions when attempting to fastboot I recieved errors saying
"no image or wrong image" or something to that effect.
at this point I went back to the drawing board and tried the HOW TO ROOT WITHOUT HACK KIT thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500) method and script for unlocking the bootloader. which downloaded the same RUU program
apon running it this time it still wished to updrade from 2.12.178.2 to 3.13.0.0 and i recieved the error
ERROR [191]: Rom is not supported
I have searched several threads with this error however none of them seemed to have a solution ie.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264987
I cannot locate and temporary ROM zips as per this thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21231962
EDIT Just found and am re-naming the rom zip as PD98IMG.zip then copying it to sd card root folder.
will update thread with result. apologies again
Appologies for the first thread question and its length.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Ben

So I renamed the rom.zip file copied it to the root folder of the SD card.
booted into fast boot. updated
it said "parsing bootloader complete"
however the phone still appears to be 3.12.178.2 ...
the next step
step 8
htcdev[dotcom]/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-3
"fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
wont run as it sits there <waiting for device>
if I run the RUU again it still says need to update to 3.13 and that its error 191 invalid rom.

The top part, the one where you say RUU, that's not a RUU, that just simply updates the HBOOT.
You need to follow this guide.

thanks, yeah i was following that guide.
part of that guide is the "unlock bootloader" portion. I believed thats what the RUU was doing... as those were the steps i was doing.
I was trying to unlock to bootloader. which the guide states you need to do IOT continue on to the ROM steps in the guide you linked.
has anyone had success unlocking the bootloader or any ideas for my issue
thanks for the response. makes sure im on the right path,
Cheers

Use a goldcard to flash a ruu that supports hboot update. That will allow you to unlock the bootloader.

Ok im ready to do this. got my CID... however it appears the Revskills goldcard generator is down and has been for a while
does anyone know of a current goldcard generator that is working.
EDIT:
ok its Alice down the rabbit hole at the moment.
I think I have created a gold card using this tool ... that you posted lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288012
there are allot of threads asking for goldcards so hopefully this helps someone.
now i just have to work out how to ... Use a goldcard to flash a ruu that supports hboot update. That will allow you to unlock the bootloader. lol

apologies for the n00bage.
now I have a gold card. just trying to work out the next step to find a RUU that will support hboot update on htcdev
can anyone point me to an appropriate RUU? Glevitan perhaps?
thanks all for the help so far its been great

FYI I completed step 1 from this site http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
1.root ur phone :for root u mus unlock boot loader with htcdev/bootloader
hboot 2.00.0029 support token key for unlock bl 2.00.0027 stok not support
u must update hboot to 2.00.0029:
download this rom copy to your c:\ drive so download this dhd update hboot by behtash.rar
and run hboot update by behtash.bat in normal mode ,waiting until flash hboot complete
ok u can now unlock bl with htcdev.com\bootloader
however it would not unlock on htcdev it just sat there saying [waiting for device]
I think my fastboot program may be the issue due to it being the same 69k version that this chap had an issue with
http://androidforums.com/cdma-evo-3d-all-things-root/476366-help-w-htcdev-waiting-device.html
downloading sdk

Find what build version and main you are running by using the command in fastboot USB:
fastboot getvar all
Delete the IMEI and paste the outcome

I was being a numpty and didnt have sdk installed. I have to crash tonight but will install it tomorrow. then try htcdev again,
if it dosent work i will do as suggested. if its something that simple I will feel a bit stupid. will keep you guys updated.
thanks again all for your help

Ok I have unlocked bootloader. I was being a bit of a numpty and not doing the "get identifier token" command whilst the phone was actually on fastboot... the htcdev instructions confused me.
I will keep this post open as I know i will have more problems as I go.
Thanks all for your help so far
do i have to
3. Download rooted stock rom: http://www.multiupload.nl/20T9R21IGY
(link to rom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...t=rooted+stock )
copy the ROM zip file to your SD card.
as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
or can I go straight to download a newer rom. a 4.2 or something and continue on the process

Ok, where I am at.
I have flashed the stock rooted rom as per the guide.
it works fine and has root access.
I didnt go through the process for S-OFF from step 6 onwards as I got a little lost what i needed to do as I had already done some of the goldcard steps. either way.
I am currently unlocked and rooted. with 2.3.5 stock rooted rom.
I tried to install a cryogenmod rom and jellytime rom.
as per this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866122
I installed them from the cwm recovery then tried to "flashboot flash boot boot.img" with their respective boot.img.
both roms didnt progress past the htc boot screen they just black screened.
can anyone hint why these roms wouldnt load? is it an s-on issue? or am i lost with the boot.img or missing another step?
i have reloaded the stock rooted image using cwm and flashboot flash boot boot.img
Thanks all
Ben

The command is "fastboot," not flashboot." Are there any errors when you run it?

Ah appologies I am blind today.
No error msgs. Boot.IMG is coppied over as it is when I do it with the rooted stock Rom.
Just when rebooting afterwards. The phone does its .HTC flash screen for like 30 secs then it goes to a black screen (phone on) indefinitely.
The process I am using is
1 zip Rom on sdcard.
2 cwm delete user data
3 cwm install zip image from sdcard which works
4 reboot
5 fastboot USB
6 from pc: fastboot flash boot boot.IMG (extracted from Rom zip)
Am I doing anything incorrectly or missing a step.
Rooted, unlocked bootloader s-on
Thanks all

Is the phone in fastboot? What ROM? What recovery version?

The phone was in fastboot USB
The working Rom is the one listed shoved from the full root sticky..3.12.405.1 rooted by nitr00
The 2 Roms that failed were jellytime and cryogen. Either the current or most recent stable apparently
Recovery is cwm. It's a slightly older version I think though. It was the only one I could find at the time.
Maybe 2. Something. I'll reboot now and check. Could that be an issue?

Bootloader unlocked
Hboot 2.00.0029
Radio 26.14.04.28m
Cwm recovery v 2.5.1.2

Yay just tried with the latest version of CWM and it works... FFS why wouldnt I have used the current version.
anyway I am playing with 4.2.2 jelly time now.
Thanks so much every contributor. your replies helped me keep going.
