have you tried to press back button and then power to enter fastboot?

i did...but nothing happen

I have had then when i messed up rooting my phone, its not bricked. your recovery is messed up, follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710081&postcount=2
if step 2 does not do anything then just hold volume down and power then navigate to recovery.
keep trying till you can boot recovery it will work, thats what i did

Did you try running the RUU update while you are in this mode?
The USB port should be in hboot-usb mode.

Koedil,
Did you ever manage to fix your Desire? If you did, then how did you do it?
I have the same problem and am tearing out what little hair I have.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich

I figured out a fix
If you haven't already fixed your Desire, then after some trial and error I came up with this fix (post #5) that worked for me.

Read it ....Hope our xda be better

[Q] Need help with my phone (access only to hboot/fastboot)

Hi,
on my phone i have access only to HBOOT/FASTBOOT and i have goldcard. So i tried to flash it using PB99IMG.zip on SDcard, but iam getting error "Main Version is older!". When i tryed to flash it by RUU, i got error 140 "BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
I have HBOOT version 0.93.0001
What should i do now?
BTW, phone is S-ON and i dont have access to recovery.

Yea you need to flash a ruu using the PB99IMG.zip. However the one you have tried is an old one(hboot is older than 0.93.0001) And HTC doesn't allow you to downgrade your hboot(for security purposes).
So just download a more recent ruu and use the PB99IMG.zip it should have a software version around 2.29.405.

Ok, but where i can download that images? I tried to find them on google, but no succes :-(.
Can you give me a hint pls?
EDIT: Ok, i think i found it... downloading now, will inform you later...

It worked for some people. And in five minutes there should not be any hardwaredestroying at all.

So that freezer thing really helped :-D. Flashing was sucessfull, now trying to boot to android.

So flashing was sucessfull, but phone still not booting to android or recovery. Just freezes on green HTC logo on white background.
Any sugestions?

[Q] desire - tried ruu @ cm7r2

Hi,
I made a mistake and tried to flash RUU at cm7r2 partition without downgrading. Now I'm stuck at htc screen with triangles and "!" in the corners of screen. RUU reports error 152, which is unremovable after restarts of ruu. I can't get to fastboot. When i disconnect USB there's info at the screen:
RUU:
[1] bootloader - bypassed
[2] radio_v2 - ok
...
[6] system - fail-PU
So:
1. am I bricked?
2. whre to find some help?
3. maybe somebody can help now?
Greets!

can youu get acces to fastboot devices or hboot when you connect your phone via usb even with the black screen?
If you can, you could sort it i think with manual fastboot command!
I never had this kind of issue, i hope someone can bring you some more help.

no, I can't get to fastboot...
EDIT: I tried to flash proper Hboot via Android Flasher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638), but it also reports error: unable to find 'Data\hboot.img'.
waiting for reply...

What happens if you try to access Fastboot?

Even if you don't have the fastboot screen, try to connect the phone to your computer and run the : fastboot devices command, if your phone is listed, then you can still use fastboot command!

adb devices doesn't list my device...
when I restart the phone, there's just htc logo and those triangles in corners...

Do you still have the alpharev cm7 hboot on your phone? Turn it on holding volume down, it should say at the top what hboot you have.

yup, that was it, thx for help mate!
for me the problem was that I didn't understand, that adb and fastboot are separate programs (or so), and I can still flash new hboot via fastboot even if adb doesn't "see" my phone... so I even couldn't explain my problem precisely; ehhh, those newbies...

Hello,
I have the same problem! Black screen, HTC logo in the midle of the screen and 4 exclamation points in the corners.
Who gave the help through the team viewer???? Could help me the same way too??
Please...
Thanks in advance

You just need to do what I said in PM

That was me.

Swyped from SGS2.

All you have to do is flash bravo_stock from alpharev, then flash the RUU again.
When you get a RUU fail, the phone is stuck in RUU mode, which is basically the same as fastboot since it still receives fastboot commands, so you can still flash things.

It's solved already.

I had a month ago the same problem and the above post is correct, this is how the problem solved, and i got back to a rooted desire

HTC DESIRE unroot with RUU 2.3.3 failed

Hi guys.
I know there are several posts already opened about this, but I`ve tried all I read there and nothing worked.
I wanted to send my rooted Desire back for repairs(camera LED broken thanks to a Torch app), and wanted to unroot it before I do.
I`ve read on some posts that u can unroot the phone by running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU found on htcdev.com (the official RUU), so I downloaded the RUU, installed hTC Sync, installed the Desire`s USB drivers(the same one`s that are required when rooting with Revolutionary).
The RUU started installing, the phone rebooted into the HTC splash screen and the "update" of the RUU started going, both PC and phone showed the cursor of the installing process, and at about 90% the PC gave me an error (update error).
I`ve tried again and again to run the RUU but everytime, it failed. And now, my Desire just won`t boot. I`ve taken the battery out, put it back, turned it on, and the only thing that appers on the screen is the white HTC logo on a black background, with 4 icons in each corner of the screen(looks just like the icon that appears when u plug in the usb cable with USB debugging mode ON).
Volume-down+Power and BACK+Power don`t work anymore, even though I press them, the phone just simply ignores the keys and takes me back to the before mentioned hTC splash screen.
I know this is probably something I did wrong, but if there`s any one kind enough to help me out with this, I`d deeply appreciate it.
Thank you!

plug the phone in then turn it on, tell us what it says

It doesn`t say anything.
This is what I do:
1. Take the battery out.
2. Put the battery back in place
3. Try turning phone on using: Volume-down+Power -> the phone doesn`t show anything, it simply takes me to the HTC logo(white HTC logo on black background. It does the same thing if I turn it on using BACK+Power)
If I try running the RUU again, the installer gives me the next message: Error[152]: image update error.
From what I`ve read, this is a radio error which can only be fixed by hTC. Could that be true?
Also, after the RUU gives me the above error, if I unplug the USB cable, the phone shows following:
*************
RUU
Radio_V2 - OK
Splash1 - OK
Recovery - OK
Splash2 - OK
Radio_cust - OK
Bootloader - Bypassed
Userdata - OK
System - Fail-PU
Boot - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
*************
I have the Alpharev CM7 r2 bootloader.

even if it is its covered by htc warranty so don't worry about it

I don`t think it coveres it, as the Alpharev CM7 R2 bootloader still shows.

oh you're still S-OFF?
You're automatically in fastboot when you turn on since your phone is like that so just turn it on, plug it in first flash this and then flash this, Then run the RUU again.

Yes, I`m still S-OFF.
How do I flash them if I can`t access recovery using Volume-down+Power or BACK+Power?
I`ve downloaded the first one, renamed it into PB99IMG.zip, put it on root of SD CARD, turned phone ON and it takes me to the same htc logo screen as before.

Tried with Android Flasher, but it gets stuck when trying to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img that u`ve given me.
So basically, I can`t enter Clockworkmod, I can`t enter the bootloader menu by turning on phone usine Volume-down+Power / Back+Power, and the phone is stuck in the HTC logo, while still S-OFF-ed, also the 2.3.3 official RUU gives me the error at the end of the installing process.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do?

Bortak, one million thanks for the help, patience and the time you`ve wasted.
I managed to pull it off in the end.

And hey, if ever in Romania, let met know, got a couple of beer cases with your name on them
Thanks again, dude!
Peace.

I have the exact same problem as i_cs_u.
I tried to use an RUU to install 2.3, I have alpharev cm7r2 installed and I get stack on the same step as i_cs_u. I successfully flashed bravo_alphaspl.img with "fastboot boot bravo_alphaspl.img", but which partition do I flash bravo_downgrade.img to?

Flash bravo_downgrade.img and then the RUU.

Did you read the whole thread????

He probably figured out that he has to use the fastboot flash boot *name of img* command or Android Flasher on that screen with the 4 ! At the corner instead of renaming to PB99IMG and attempting to flash it on the phone.

Help needed on recovery

I forgot to copy the Revolution HD installer into my phone memory but I've already run the SuperWipe. Now all hell break loose and I can't get my phone to boot normally. I can go into recovery though.
Can someone help by telling me where can I get the required file/image to flash back to stock?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Flash the 1.26 RUU with the phone connected to your PC in fastboot mode

Didn' t you make a backup before wiping?

Installing the RUU (ruu_endeavor_u_ics_40_htc_asia_wwe_1.26.707.4_radio_1.1204.90.13_release_252708_signed.exe) is giving me error 155 halfway thru.
Any advise?

Gosh. I'm really stuck now.
Anyone can help me outta this?

Yay! My phone is alive again!
After hours and hours of struggling, apparently you need to relock the bootloader first. I saw the tool here http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?3153-UTIL-WIN-01-04-ACS-HTC-Super-Tool-v3
