Hello guys, I have a major problem on my HTC Desire. Most of it is my fault but please try to help out here and not judge me... :/
I use Miuimod. I had the 1.8.1 version and I went to install 2.1. The thing is that (for the first time!!!) I didn't check the last page of thread to find out that Miuimod 2.1 for Desire a major bug that forces an endless reboot.
And that's not all... Don't ask me why but.. I didn't make a NANDroid backup... :/ I was in a hurry and I didn't check the button from ROM Manager menu.
Also for a reason, I cannot boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. I only have hboot. Hboot lets you install a ROM only with the name update.zip. But even though I have renamed the last OpenDesire ROM as update.zip, it won't install it cause it doesn't have the proper signature.
So I'm kinda stuck with a semi bricked HTC Desire. Any suggestions?
(And just for the record, yeah, lesson learned... )
Are you s-off? If so, just flash a new recovery image through fastboot.

Wrong forum, Q/A should be right...
Try flashing clockwork over fastboot:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img"
Put your SD in your computer and copy a ROM.zip on it, than flash as usual ?
Why why why??
What have you learnt from this mistake? Yes, ALWAYS install a custom recovery. Saves you this kind of trouble.
Okay I'm of no help, but I just wanted to tell.
@markuz85 No I'm s-on. In order to change to s-off I need to boot into device (right?).
@westernmg I'm trying to but adb shows no devices and I'm kinda stuck there.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance...
Try to pull out the battery and wait a few seconds then power on the phone again and press power+vol- and select recovery.If this don't work try to reflash an official htc desire rom renamed in update.zip from hboot.
Thanks for the answer. Can't find an official rom though. Can you point me at one?
@9600pro87 I did what you said but still nothing...
Try this: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
Sorry, this is the correct link.

Run this program update from windows with the phone connected to the pc.
Am I missing something? These files are .exe. How am I suppose to use them?Shouldn't be .zip so I can install them via hboot?

Run the program from windows with the phone connected via usb cable.
Oh ok, but as I said, I can only boot to the hboot recovery. So at what point should I run the .exe?

Hboot is ok, at least with phone off too if i remember right. The updater reboot the phone automatically.
It doesn't work. I get error [170] "Cannot connect to phone.." etc. Is it that I have changed the Radio?
I'm posting you the information on fastboot in case we can figure something out:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON

MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

Fortunately I solved the problem. This is what I did:
I basicaly rerooted my phone using Modaco's method. So when finished I had the default ROM again. Thank you all for your help!
Good that you solved the issue. But just so you know, that method of rooting is outdated. Rooting does not need downgrading, as of current hboots

Good for you, now your desire is "live" again.
I recently attempted to root my desire with unrevoked. It seemed to go well and i attempted to flash a custom rom. I made a nandroid back up too. However, now the device is stuck in boot loop and i can't flash another rom or restore from nandroid backup. I've tried pushing roms from fastboot, running the telstra RUU and nothi g has worked. The closest i have got to it working is on the bootloader, it automatically detects that i have Pb99DIAG.zip and tries to install that but says it cannot verify signature.
I have a pvt4 desire with hboot version 0.93.0001 if that is any help
I apologise if this has been posted before but i have been tring to get this fixed for ages Any help will be appreciated.
Why can't you flash another rom?

I've tried heaps of roms and none of them seem to install. They all say the rom cannot be found or something.
What recovery do you use?
Also does the sd card mount if you try that in recovery? What does it say when you try to connect it to usb?

Did u integrate amonra-recovery in unrevoked before starting to root with it? Imo the standardrecovery in unrevoked, clockworkmod, does not work with pvt4- desires.

So you S-OFFed and then ran Telstra RUU ?
That is supposed to bring your phone to stock. Now you are S-ON or OFF ?
My phone is s-on. When i rooted it with unrevoked it didn't turn s-off. I tried that signature verify thing and it still won't work :S

Rooting and S-OFF-ing are two completely different things. You got confused.
You have to do them both in order to install certain ROMs.
Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
Which ROM do you wish to install ?
i want tog back to the telstra 2.2 rom. I have rooted my phone, but i can't do the s-off thing aith alpharev cause it won't turn on properly

Hi there,
I've managed to unlock the bootloader and root my HTC Wildfire S.
Then I flashed CWM Recovery (tried several versions) with fastboot and also with ROM Manager.
The installation of CWM Recovery is successfull, however when I go into the bootmenu and select Recovery, the screen stays black and the icons at the buttom of the phone are lit up.
So the problem is I can't get into Recovery to make a backup and to flash a different ROM.
Some information about my phone:
HTC Wildfire S A510e
Android 2.3.5
ROM version: 2.13.401.3
From the bootmenu:
*** UNLOCKED ***
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT: 1.09.0099
MICROP-0451
RADIO: 7.54.39.28M
I know others have this same issue, but I haven't read any solution yet. I hope someone knows the solution or a workaround to make a backup of the stock ROM and flash a custom ROM.
Thanx in advance!
I have same problem looking for solution to backup nand just in case.
Try reflashing recovery or install one like alquez's unofficial.

Thanks for the ideas, but I've already tried that several times.
All custom recoveries don't seem to work. I'm afraid that this is a problem that some versions of the wildfire s have..
Any other ideas are welcome!

Just want to say that I have exatly the same problem mentioned above. Same ROM, riadio and hboot as well. I tried lot of methods to flush custom recovery but nothing helped. Also tried both 5.0.2.6 and 5.0.2.8 CWM
Same problem: Downgrade HBOOT?
Hey,
Have the same problem aswell.. I tried alot see topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635718
The one thing i didn't try is to downgrade my hboot. I didn't want to do this because it will aswell downgrade android from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3...
And this is exactly the thing which i wanted to avoid before being able to backup stock rom....
Maby you could try it. There is also away to download stock rom and instal it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467844
The thing there is only that i don't know if its posible to install a rom without being able to get into the recovery.
Good luck.
Question?

Hi all!
I mean not to complain about something that does not work "Recovery", ask why this is happening and can it be such as to decide whether to help solve this problem if create one "S-OFF"...
Who ever tried to put the old "CWM Recovery", for example 3.0.x.xx?
Put an old version of "CWM Recovery", please ...
I could not find ...
Hi all, after reading through several tutorials including Bortak's and asking questions in chat rooms, I finally felt like I need to reach out for help on the forum. I have a HTC Desire that was hanging on white HTC screen and had no recovery. I have flashed with AlphaRev HBOOT and it now shows the following in Bootloader:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
I have tried flashing CWM recovery but when I try to load recovery from the Bootloader it just vibrates 7 times and then vibrates. I just want to get the phone working again, but I am not sure what I need to do or what ROM/RUU I need to use. Also, when I try to flash from fastboot it gives me: "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
Is this something to do with SHIP S-OFF and not ENG S-OFF. I think getting recovery working is the first step but I am lost.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

I bought the device like this with SHIP S-OFF. It was fine, and then it started hanging at the white HTC screen, and would only boot up correctly once every handful of times. I assumed the ROM was unstable and wanted to flash a stable version of CM 7. However when I realised that there was no recovery I resorted to Fastboot. I then flashed an RUU zip (gingerbread) via fastboot and now it wont start at all, instead it keeps restarting. I have flashed CWM via fastboot to try and get recovery working but when I select recovery from bootloader it just vibrates 7 times.
My objective now - just to get the phone working again
when u hold volume down + power, what hboot is in the bootloader? (pink at top) also u could tried android flasher or the PB899IMG method to install recovery.

The pink at the top is "--- Alpharev ---". I did try to use Android flasher to flash recovery in fastboot mode but it says I need ENG bootloader or something.
oh rite. im not really sure im afraid, but i think u will have to use the bravo_downgrade.img from Alpharev or the PB99IMG_downgrade if u cant use fastboot commands then run a ruu. i think when u tried the ruu and it failed it was because ur hboot is 6.93.1002 which cant be overwritten by an ruu. The ruu to use would be the exact 1 for ur phone - devise, brand, region ect or use the 2.3 upgrade which is for all and can be found at HTCDev/ kernel source code/ see downloads/ filter by device (desire) below check other then find files, then ul see 2.3 ruu upgrade..
just wait and maybe some1 can confirm this first before trying it or if they have an answer

check out bortak's guide. for what i know (since surfing xda), it is wrong to flash a ruu while you have a 'custom' hboot (the hboot is very important. you can see what hboot you have on the pink line. in fastboot screen. is it Alpharev Data++, Alpharev cm7r2?) but, as long as the screen of the phone is 'alive', there's always a solution.

It's not a problem to run RUU if you have custom hboot as long as it have stock partition table. Just try to flash downgrade from alpharev site and then run RUU from your PC.

OK so I downgraded the HBOOT using the downgrader from AlphaRev, then I ran the RUU for Android 2.3, but it still wont boot up. White screen appears for about 10 seconds then keeps restarting. Also the same happens when I try to open recovery from Bootloader. After running the RUU my bootloader shows the following:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.02.0001
MICROP-031d
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Any suggestions what to do next?
strange, when i used the downgrader (PB99IMG) it made me s-on then i ran the 2.3 ruu upgrade then used revolutionay to s-off. (dont ask why) lol
edit: when i used the 2.3 ruu i extracted the rom.zip and renamed it PB99IMG and ran it that way

Yes, for some reason doesnt pick it up. I'm really unsure what to do. I cant flash using Fastboot, and after flashing the RUU I have lost the AlphaRev HBOOT and I cant get recovery. Can it really be bricked?

I am not familiar with this method of running a RUU by flashing it as a zip from fastboot. The standard method is to execute the RUU.exe from PC while the device is in Fastboot mode. Could this be the root problem ?
Hi, i am wondering about changing to a stock rom on my brothers HTC desire.
I do not need root or custom rom on this phone right now, but maybe in the future.
It is an ICS custom rom on it today and HBOOT 0.93. With root and maybe S-OFF.
I am a little afriad to utdate/downgrade to stock rom because i have read several places that if the HBOOT updates to newer than 0.93 i will not be able to root the phone later.
But i read this was via OTA, I will be using HTC Sync for the update.
This will be my phone number 2 and i just want everything to work, newer rom functions is not that important.
I hope anyone will give me some help, becase this phone is WAY more difficult to root and customize than my SGS.
Thanks i advance

Don't worry, every hboot can be hacked. Only 1.03 is a little dodgy, but running an official update will give you at most 1.02 hboot that's easy to handle with revolutionary.

I may have a big problem.
I found out that the phone was S-ON and followed the Noob proof guide using alpharev to S-OFF it.
The 2 first steps went fine but step number 3 will not start
On the computer i just says, "waiting for flashing to complete".
But it never starts on the phone.
It also say on the computer that if i turn of the phone now it will be bricked, i dont wanna brick it.
What should i do????!?
****. I waited for an hour like the noob proof guide said i should and the i pulled the plug.
But now my phone will not boot into android. Just goes straight to fastboot mode.
What are my choices now?
Run 2.3 ruu and then all from start.

2.3 RUU via HTC sync or via fastboot? Or via the lin from your signature?
Sorry for being noobish, i just havent gotten the hang of this HTC way of doing it yet
In my signature is only a way how to obtain it. When you download it, it's .exe file packed in zip archive. Unpack it and run from yout PC. Make sure you have HTC sync installed on your PC prior running ruu.
