I am trying to find radio ROM 2.05.10.08.11. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone have it?
I might be able to make due with any CDMA (verizon) HTC desire radio rom (bravoc) but i can't find any of them. I installed a HERO rom by accident and now i'm all messed up. Tryingto RUU but i need the right radio version.
I don't know if this will help but there is US Cellular RUU.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/desire-uscellular/downloads/
Will that help? It is a complete RUU but if you look into ripping out ROM.zip then maybe you could do it then reroot (i hope your s-off)
I'm S-ON unfortunately :-/
Also i can get the RUU to see the phone but when it starts the install process it gives me 156 image error. I think because i foolishly installed the wrong radio ROM. Do the RUU's have a radio ROM baked in? If so why don't they simply rewrite my old radio?
If i found another HTC desire cdma would there be a way to extract the existing radio ROM?
What does your current radio version say?
When I was trying to use RUU's I had to go through 4/5 before I found one that worked. Also try creating a goldcard then doing it. It's what got mine working. Have you tried the RUU's from this thread? forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
edit: or try shipped ROMs they only have 1 for CDMA desire's but its worth a shot
shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo_C
I have radio 2.42.01.04.27
TomTomm - do i need a goldcard on a CDMA phone? Also i have tried that BravoC ROM you linked. No such luck, i receive error 156 image error. I suspect this is because the RUU is for radio 2.05.10.08.11.

Really I'm not sure how you could have flashed that radio without being s-off. If you're s-on, that part of your phone should be locked. Also, since you are s-on, you wouldn't be able to flash any of the radios that are available that work. The radio you have definitely is from a cdma hero but I'm surprised that the phone would even boot in any way shape or form. You can try to flash this http://ipfreelytech.net/android/radio/PB99IMG.zip via HBOOT but that is about the only thing I can think of.

Hi im trying to restore my Desire with factory Rom without root and S-off
Now in Bootloader it says
RAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 0.75.0000
MICROP-031D
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
radio-4.05.00.11
mar 5 2010,21:12:15
I tryed many times to flash official RUU
RUU_Bravo_Fastweb_IT_1.15.1600.5_Radio_32.30.00.28 U_4.05.00.11_rel_121996
(my Desire was branded Fastweb)
Everytime there is an error, flashing by bootloader
Main version is older!
Update fail
It shoud happen when HBOOT is newer than RUU , but i think my HBOOT is the right one.
I used goldcard, and then i tryed without but the problem is the same
How can i solve?
The coldcard works by making the phone ignore the CID (customer ID), so that you can install a RUU of ANY brand you wish. It DOES NOT work for bootloader versions, so e.g. once you update your phone to 2.2 (from 2.1), you CAN NOT, go BACK to 2.1 using an older RUU. Hope that helps you to understand it a bit more. As for upgrading your phone, try that:
I don't know whether your phone is GSM or CDMA (since I've never heard of that network) but if your phone is GSM (has a simcard), then use this RUU http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/...2U_5_11_05_27_release_159811_signed.exe_links
It is the latest WWE (world wide english) RUU so there is no way you will get that error. You need a working goldcard for it to work, but from reading your post it seems you have that covered so you should be fine.
You can go from 2.2 to 2.1 using teppic74's downgrade tool. Its a bit more involved than just flashiong an RUU.
That RUU is in th GSM section on shipped roms, but that doesn't necessarily mean it IS gsm

Yeeahhh but I said you can't go back using the RUU
and yeah I figured, there's only one BravoC RUU on SR, but I'm just being on the safe side

I tryed ur solution, but during flashing there is an error "131 customenr id error"
About the 2nd solution ( downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1) , its right to use it while i have hboot 0.75 (not 0.92) ?
Now i have on Leedroid 2.1.
RUU_Bravo_Fastweb_IT_1.15.1600.5_Radio_32.30.00.28 U_4.05.00.11_rel_121996.exe
So i think i need to have hboot 0.75, and its the hboot i can see in bootloader. Right?
I have to restore it because my touchscreen doesnt work, and warranty end with rooted phones
Downgrade dont work.
When i go in bootloader and i read PB991IMG.zip it says CID ERROR.
I've done goldcard many times, this is what i do:
Format MicroSD 4gb (stock microsd)
Open Gold Card Tool and complete the operation (it says gold card created)
what i do wrong?
When i have to install RUU in bootloader i put inside PB991IMG, so i extract Card and load the file by cardreader.
That error 131 appears everytime but when i try to install Official FASTWEB RUU it disappears and , as i said before, appears BOOTLOADER ERROR
you're either doing the goldcard wrong or your sd-card simply doesn't work as a goldcard.
try this tutorial and try again. http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

Hey guys, I'm having serious trouble debranding my desire and spent the last days 'n nights searching for a solution.
Three days ago I was given an HTC Desire A8181 by my sister's boyfriend from Canada. I want to use it in Germany and somehow 3G doesen't work at all(only Edge).
So I thought about flashing a European /WWE ROM to solve the problem.
As he told me the phone was unbranded I just picked the last EU RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
But while flashing I got Error 130 - Wrong RUU.
Flashing itself doesn't seem to be the problem: My sister's boyfriend found his old ROM he was using before on this phone and I was able to flash it without problems.
It is 3.14.405.1 / Android 2.3. - apparently Telus branded.
I checked with Terminal Emulator and found out that the phone is indeed Telus branded. So I created a goldcard and tried again.
Now I get Error 140 while flashing ( wrong Bootloader version )
Could it be, that the ROM I want to install is too old?
I'd appreciate any suggestion.
Information:
Bravo PVT3 Ship S-ON
HBOOT-1.02.0001
MICCROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
Radio-5.17.05.23
The Phone is unrooted.
Both drivers and HTC Sync are installed on my PC.
Btw. Any ideas why 3G doesn't work?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
If this is the case you could just flash a stock ROM instead?
Also, this may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943726 to unlock the phone fully (though it seems like that's the case already it may help) it's quite safe. I've done it on about 4 Desire's without problems over the last two years.
There is Teppic74's rooted stock 2.3 ROM which is very good and exactly like the RUU version, with the exception of being rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200261
To root the phone, last I checked it was pretty simple. You simply downlopad unREVoked, run it, connect your phone when you're told and let it do it's stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
Also, a problem you MAY have is that the phone is CDMA and Europe is mostly GSM networks (I think)
@ Kryten2k35
Thanks for your reply.
Firstly, I already SIM-unlocked it with the linked tool - that was the first thing I did after holding it in my hands.
Actually I could install a custom ROM, yes and I must admit that I already did so before. I tried out Supernova and tried to flash a new Radio ( I used unrevoked to do so) . I was quite sure that I screwed st. up so I wanted to get a nice proper European RUU running on my phone. That's when I always had Error 130 ("wrong RUU") while flashing all kinds of official ROMs. At this point I was given the (obviously Telusbranded) Telus ROM that perfectly worked as the only exeption.
I had the same idea with that CDMA / GSM uncompatability but found out, that my modell Number is A8181 which is sold in Europe/ Asia. So it should work...
Thanks anyways!
Other ideas?
Well, that Teppic74 ROM is completely stock (except it's rooted) so it's exactly like the Gingerbread ROM. He tailors all his stock ROM's to be totally like stock!
Have you tried the offical HTC Desire Gingerbread RUU? Beware it will stop you from ever putting a custom ROM on again (iirc)

Well, mate, the biggest problem with compatibility is a band version of device not rom. If you got it from Telus you have to check which frequencies it supports and see which one are used in Germany (I think you said Germany).
About RUU, you can't flash EU RUU on your device without a gold card because of CID version of your phone.
And if you want stock RUU that will work on your phone go to HTC dev site, kernel source code part, configure filter to DEVICE (Desire) and choose OTHER below it, click FIND FILES and the first one to download will be RUU upgrade android version 2.3. It's made for all CIDs and it will work with your hboot version.

Why should it do so?
Besides I'm quite sure, that the ROM I'm currently using IS the latest official ROM - it can't be a branded one.
FIrst: Android Task Manager tells me under information - Brand: HTC_WWE
Sounds like HTC's official version.
Second: Current System Software is entitled: 3.14.405.1. ,which is HTC's latest Gingerbread (2.3.3)-update. So actually it cannot be branded.
Third: THe old owner swears that the ROM he gave me was NOT branded.
I just found out that flashing with a comon SDcard would lead to Error 130 while flashing with Goldcard leads to Error 140.
At this point I probably could S-Off and root the phone and put a custom ROM on it but I'd really, really, really like to know why I'm unable to flash those stupid RUUs.
And if you want stock RUU that will work on your phone go to HTC dev site, kernel source code part, configure filter to DEVICE (Desire) and choose OTHER below it, click FIND FILES and the first one to download will be RUU upgrade android version 2.3.

I just checked that THIS RUU is exactly the one I have installed right now!
Thanks for this hint!
So could you tell me why only this RUU works and the other ones don't?
Thanks a lot!
I suppose it's because of the updated bootloader, which is 1.02 and won't be downgraded to 0.93, which would be the froyo version.
Btw, this will not stop you from doing s-off (which I'd recommend you to do). Only using HTC Dev unlock will stop you, so avoid using it.
Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire
Yes bootloader is the problem, so you can't flash older RUU. If you go s-off (only revolutionary can do so for you) you can flesh alpharev stock hboot which is write protected and you can try older RUU (but I don't see a reason).
So, go s-off and root now and flash a custom rom of your choice.

Thanks guys, you really helped me out!
So far I flashed CM 7.2 and it's running fine - will try to get a proper radio on it hoping the 3G issues will disappear.
Thanks!
Hi, so I've been trying to get the right radio for me and my friend with DHD (I have Inspire 4G and do not get any 3G signal) has this radio: 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M. I found a download link on this site ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9891546&postcount=1 but I am unable to flash it. I noticed the ZIP file does not contain "android-info.txt" file. I know how to flash a radio with bootloader and I was successful in flashing other radios but it seems that it cannot be flashed without the file or the file itself is corrupted.
So does anyone know how to flash it or does anybody have the ZIP file with android-info.txt ? thanks a lot people!
edit: oh and... the downloaded file does not pass the checksum test.
edit2: just wondering. there are three antennas on DHD. One for GPS (under flashlight cover), one at sim cover and one at battery cover. which one of these last two is for 3G signals? contacts might be bad or damaged

To flash radio from that site you need ENG S-OFF which WILL MESS YOUR DEVICE. Check this thread (Inspire 4G and DHD radios are compatible as they are the same phone with different frequencies) to get a PD98IMG folder or use the guide in my signature to get an empty one:

since I have been successful in flashing radios from that site I guess I already have ENG S-OFF (although I don't know how to determine it, I know I did some S-OFF). The thing is, I think I need the exact radio version I posted above since it should finally give me 3G. I am located in Central Europe and I believe those radios are mainly for USA, are they not? Also,
Q. Why not just go to the Desire HD thread for Radio and RIL files?
A. Because we own an Inspire. While these phones are almost identical, the software used on each is NOT always compatible. This includes Radio images.

S-OFF is not ENG S-OFF...so if you have ENG S-OFF in the bootloader you will see ACE PVT ENG S-OFF....
From the thread I linked you, you have compatible radios for DHD and Inspire...many of the radios are compatible thou not all of them have been tested. I have used many DHD radios in my Inspire and had no issues at all.

Have you read the thread I linked you? there is the key....you have to flash radios as PD98IMG.zip files in the bootloader. That is the safest way, anyway.

I always download the ZIP package, rename to PD98IMG.zip, copy it to my SD card, reboot to bootloader, flash the radio, reboot the phone. Never did it different. And gave me error only once, only when the radio I need does not have android-something.txt file in the package.
I just need those packages with correct radio version and according RIL. and I'd like to know which antenna is which. so if anybody has or knows, please, do tell me.

is there anything specific you want me to read outloud? there is NOT the correct version I need (well there is, but it is just incomplete). I know how to flash it, I know there are "slight differences" between inspire 4g and DHD (according to the topic) but I do not have the correct package so I could rename it and flash it. I tried. Oh yes I tried. Did not work. Wouldnt flash. So I just need a link to the correct version. If you don't have it, please, leave it.
MD5 is not the same in the post as on the file and there is one file less in the package than in other packages of different radios.
BTW, I am not asking you to do my work, I am just asking if anyone has it. I tried to google it, all of the links I have found are dead (or making me download some youtube downloader). Oh and I am reading.
you know what? somebody lock this thread, please... I think I want to figure this one out myself. Even if it means not having 3G in my phone. I am not going to let glevitan make fun of me. dunno who's not reading.
Hello all!
I may be new to XDA, but i lurk a lot... And over the years this is the first time i've ever needed to post.
Right.. So today i bought an "HTC Desire HD" or 'Ace'
It was on Froyo (2.1?) S-ON and hboot 0.85 or something
I tried using AAHK - Which is fine, I've used it before successfully on my other DHD.
This time it was upgrading/downgrading a radio, error'd and quit.
It then restarted and bootloooped.
I tried Factory Restore did nothing
I then tried using many and various RUU's but i always get Error 131 or Error 190
I tried making a GoldCard to boot the phone still nothing
I also tried the PD98IMG.zip in the SD card (Tried with GoldCard too) Still Error 131
GoldCard does work as have tested it on another phone.
Currently sat staring at HBOOT wondering what the hell i can do to get it too switch back on!
The phone is locked to Orange UK with S-ON
The file that i believe to fix my phone is called "RUU-Ace-Orange-UK.18" something, but it just doesn't exist. I've searched all of google and only found dead links.
Just a little motivation, I'll donate to whom ever provides the fix for my phone my old Xperia Mini e10i! Thanks
AAHK is retired, and the server hosting the files it needs has been pulled. Without S-Off you can't flash radios. Are you just trying to root? If so, you can unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery, and flash a rooted ROM from there. You can't flash radios, but you can flash custom ROMs. The link in my signature has more detailed guides.
EDIT: but you will first need to update your hboot.

Please link me to hboot update, I've looked around but all links give me "downloadmanagerS.exe" :/

I believe that because your hboot is too old, you need to create a gold card to flash a RUU that supports hboot unlock. How to do that is beyond the scope of my knowledge, and due to the fact that the guy who used to handle all this stuff (glevitan) is no longer active here, you may just need to hope someone else shows up. You could try to look through his posts for that info.

So my phone is dead then D;
Basically you need to create a Goldcard and upgrade your bootloader.
I also have a Orange DHD and i am S-Off'd using another methord but the difference is that i have sense 3.0.
But due to your phones CID being ORANG001 you'll need the goldcard as there is no orange RUU firmware only HTC generic firmware.
Shot a PM if you still need help.
Now rebooting the phone only takes me in to the bootloader. I cannot load into the stock recovery or TWRP, and I error out every time I try and flash an RUU.
I have contacted HTC support and they said to run the .exe version of the RUU for my phone, which gives me error 155 unknown error (I know it has to do with the partitioning).
Is there anything I can do to fix this or is my phone basically bricked/dead.
See if you can find the firmware.zip that corresponds to the RUU for your device. If so, then flash the firmware, then try the RUU again.
I'm not sure if this will work in this specific case. But its how other folks were able to resolve the partition issue going from GPE to Sense (GSM M8).
I assume you have s-off, since otherwise the "incorrect" RUU never would have run in the first place?

Yes, I'm s-off. It was a total accident. Never meant to run it.
I've tried every combination of flashing I can think of.
I have downloaded the firmware and RUU from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173 but they did not work.
I can use my old m7 for now but its got a cracked screen
I'm so mad at myself for this.
EDIT: Now I'm looking I notice a combination of stuff on that thread I haven't tried. Guess I'll keep dicking around with it. Not much worse I can do to the thing now anyway.
