Hi All,
Apologies for my first post being a cry for help but im seriously screwed at the moment.
I have a UK t-Mobile Desire that came preinstalled with 2.1, and so the story of my rooting failure begins.
First of all i tried using Unrevoked 3.1 and apparently this worked, but i was no longer able to enter recovery mode at all.
Following this i tried applying the Amon Ra loader to my device. Once this was completed the phone was seemlingly working fine but i still could not get into recovery mode, it would jsut hang on the circular logo.
By now im pretty fedup with the whole thing and i decided to unroot my device using the unlocker video guide and the unmodified RUU from this site.
Now my device boots (i guess) but the screen no longer works, at all. All i want to do is restore my phone to its factory state so i can use it.
Can please anyone help a poor newbie out.
You haven't killed it, but you should have read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749551
That includes a link to fix it, though it's not easy.
thanks for the response but according to the boot screen i had hboot 0.75
Your problem is SLCD. The bootloader is not relevant.
Sorry to be a complete numpty, but what process do i need to complete, there seem to be several options on that link.
thanks, i really appreciate any help
If you want to upgrade directly to Froyo just install this RUU (easy):
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
If you want to try to get Android 2.1 back then this thread (difficult):

I just tried the "easy" option and got the following error message from the Rom update utility.
ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone
Please get the correct ROM Update Utilility and try again.
You need a goldcard in the phone.
Ok, thanks for your help.
I will dissapear for an hour or two and see if i can get this fixed.
Eitherway many thanks for your help
Insert the goldcard, run the RUU, and it will be fixed.
when i try to create the goldcard i get an "error: device not found" message when running the adb ****** command
you create the gold card in your pc not the phone. i think
I am doing it on my pc, but it would seem that my pc cant "see" the desire. Im guessing that either USB debugging is off, or the phone is connected to the pc in anotehr "mode"
sigh
you make the goldcard on pc. then insert it into the phone
It must be that USB debugging is off. Does anyone know how to turn this on remotely or without seeing the screen?
Just use the goldcard you originally used with the RUU that broke your screen.
Or did you use a t-mobile branded RUU?
I dont have it
I used the tmobile branded one
When you flash an RUU you are restored to factory defaults, so usb debugging is off.
It is possible to enable usb debugging blindly if you read the other link I posted. It's difficult. Without a goldcard you cannot flash an SLCD-compatible RUU, which is the only way you can recover the phone. There aren't any branded RUUs available that support SLCD.
Hi,
I was trying to root my phone with the guide that is on this forum, but then when i restarted my phone, it was stuck on the white "HTC" boot screen. Then i tried to do a "Factory Reset" in hboot and rebooted, and still stuck on the boot screen. I tried to put a PD98IMG.zip as it was prompted in hboot as "no image or wrong file", so i loaded PD98IMG.zip onto my SD card, and still not working. any suggestions ?
my phone is S-ON.
I guess your phone is branded ? If that's the case, you need to follow the tutorial for a goldcard.
Also, if your rom is 1.7x or 1.8x, you can't root it. You have to follow the downgrade tutorial 1st
Mine took 30 mins to boot once. You could try the ruu look in dev section, you just flash it from Windows, then start again. Was your she branded?

I was in the same situation, downgraded ROM and clockwork mod and did a restore and it works fine now
@Howling Wolf - I cannot get the CID for the SD card, because
in the 'adb shell' command, my command prompt says "error: device not found". But i want to know, can i still get the CID through another HTC desire phone ? and can i still update a stock rom with S-ON ? and how do i know if my phone is branded ?
I got my phone from Taiwan, a friend brought it over for me, and when i last checked it was on software version 1.37.921.1 .
@turbo_d - ill try that thnx
did you try installing the htc sync software then do adb devices
ye i did, i installed HTC sync to get the HTC drivers, but from what i noticed is that your phone needs to be "running" instead of being stuck on the white HTC boot screen or even the hboot doesnt pick up the device aswell >.<

@SAPPH1RE - i tried that but thanks for the help !
ok i acquired my CID through linux, but now its telling me
main version is older !
update fail.
any suggiestions ? my current software version of the phone is 1.37, which stock RUU should i be using ?
If you are on 1.37 you should be fine to continue with getting s-off and such. You don't need to upgrade or downgrade your ROM until you achieve s-off. And then you should upgrade to a custom ROM such as LeeDroid.

did you get it working ?
I fixed mine a few weeks back by doing a full wipe and then loading a fresh ROM
Thing is, i cant get my phone to start up, so i need to flash a stock rom, so that i can get my phone started and then do S-OFF. But it keeps telling me "Main Version is older!"
ive tried 2 roms already, 1.32 and 1.72 RUU. What could be the problem ?
thnx problem solved, the gold card wasnt done properly, so i re did everything.
thnx for the help guys !

@paulcoop007 i have same problem with you, same version with your phone and S-ON. and my phone at black screen with htc. how can i fix it. can you explain how did you fix your phone?
I rooted my phone 6 months ago and 1 month ago it started restarting out of a sudden. Another problem was that it did not turn on the first time, so i had to get the battery out and try again to turn on the phone. When i saw that i decided to upgrade with the official Gingerbread Rom for the Desire. Now the problems started getting more and more serious. My phone remains stuck in the htc logo screen...it does not go into recovery and when i tried installing the initial ruu, to try to take it back to warranty it said that the bootloader version is not good. Any ideas how to solve this problem? I would really appreciate some help...
Maybe providing some info, like bootloader information, phone information....
Current Hboot is 1.02.0001, radio 5.17.05.23 and i wish to install RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed. I have tried to install the ROM by puting the rom file from the ruu on the memory card and renaming it as PB99IMG.zip. Once i turn on the phone in hboot, it loads the image and after 3 minutes is says "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". I have also tried to install the ruu by connecting it to the computer and booting the phone in fastboot. It said the current image version is 3.14.405.1 and the version I will install will be 2.14.207.1. After about 5 minutes in the install process it gets stuck in "Updating Signature" and after that the process stops and the following message is shown:
"ERROR[140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."
I am currently quite desperate..
Your HBOOT is newer than the one you want to flash.
You nned to downgrade it, which means you have to S-Off your device with revolutionary.io AFAIK.
Then flash one of the HBOOTs from alpharev.nl (downgrader) - then you can flash the RUU.

Can you please tell me how to s-off the phone if the phone cannot start?i tried in fastboot but the software on the computer didn't detect the phone...
You need to be running fastboot in the CMD.exe...
You need to follow the guide for ADB first, then you can use fastboot to flash a new image!

Yes, I had s-off with alpharev. The problem started with boot loop on alpharev screen. I flashed amoled RUU by mistake and had slcd brick.
Now I have installed the correct RUU but still either get stuck on boot loop or on HTC screen. Wonder if the system partitions are screwed up or if they can be restored without adb or s-off.
i did not manage to do anything. all i want to do is to put back the initial ruu so i can take the phone back to warranty. But i don't know how to downgrade hboot.
can anyone please tell me how can i downgrade my hboot? The biggest problem is that i cannot enable usb debugging because my phone is stuck with the bootloop.

Boot into Fastboot and then run RUU. Setup should see it.
I managed to reinstall the official Android 2.3 RUU but the problem is that i want to install the RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed RUU. From what i have been told, i firstly have to downgrade hboot. Can anyone give me some detailed steps of how to do this?
If I were you, I'd S-OFF with revolutionary, flash recovery and flash a ROM.. when you're S-OFF, there is a way to downgrade... I just haven't got time to search now sorry
That's from my understanding that you re-did the 2.3 RUU and your phone now works.. right?
Unfortunately the phone doesn't start now either
but did it work before? have you tried leaving it for about half an hour and tried turning it on again? (I've seen faults like that). If not try the RUU again, then S-OFF - which makes life SOOOOOOO much easier
After reading Bortak's guide, I was still unable to fix this bootloop as I don't have a goldcard, and it seems like you need a functional Desire to create one.
The situation is:
> Desire can boot into Fastboot (Power button + back button), but attempting to enter recovery causes a boot loop (Carrier splash screen)
> Attempting to enter recovery directly (Power button + volume down) causes a boot loop
> I lost the MicroSD with this phones' recovery on it, all I have is a spare blank MicroSD
I'm wondering, is it possible to flash a new recovery off the SD card, through fastboot?
Or, can I do this through a USB connection somehow? (I currently have the latest HTC Sync installed)
Thanks for any help!
Edit: My Desire is S-ON (I swear it used to be S-OFF, but who can remember, I haven't picked this phone up for ages) and HBOOT is 0.75.0000
S-on users cant flash a custom recovery through fastboot. It can be done only via the unrevoked method. What exactly did you do to cause this? Dont you have your own RUU?
I've got similar problem, but i don't have root.
I made S-OFF with revolutionary and rovolutionary couldn't flash clockworkmod. Previously, I didn't know that I have to do root... so i wanted to do s-on to do this root. I downgraded phone to hboot 0.80 as they said on alpharev website. But now, I can't get out from fastboot. Every time, when i'm robooting, it goes to fastboot.
Please, could You help me?
Flash 2.3.3 RUU via fastboot and use revolutionary again.

When I got my Desire HD, I flashed Oxygen rom on this Desire and gave it to a friend. I have no idea how it got in its current state. I'm downloading the latest official RUU now.
If someone could provide some instructions on how to flash the RUU with the phone in it's current state that would be awesome
As long as you can get into fastboot not all is lost, there will be a way of flashing it was a stock rom

Boot phone into fastboot mode, connect phone to computer and start the downloaded RUU.exe on your computer.
The RUU recognized the phone, but it refused to update due to wrong bootloader version. Looks like my RUU was not the right one, back to searching again.
If you have GSM and not a hboot with nummber 6.93.1002, the 2.3.3 RUU should work for you:
http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152
Ok I found the correct RUU (Telstra) and was able to flash everything except the radio, which failed. Attempted to retry twice but same result.
Now I have the grey HTC logo with the exclamation triangles in the corners.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Sorry mate, but radio brick is unfixable (as far as I know).

Thanks, that RUU flashed successfully! It said rom update complete and so on. At least now I'm making progress.
However, the rom doesn't load and I get a bootloop. I've now got the normal white HTC splashscreen appearing, then the screen flashes black, the phone vibrates 5 or 6 times, and I'm back to the splashscreen again.
I'm able to boot into bootloader (HBOOT 1.02.001 apparently) but not recovery.
I'm not familiar with adb and all that, all I can do is follow instructions, but in short, without being able to load a rom to tick the box for usb debugging, is there any way to S-OFF and or flash CWM if I can get the computer to recognise the phone (while its sitting in bootloader or fastboot mode) with the HTC Sync USB drivers or equivalent?
I'm going to say some probably unrelated words and phrases that I've read in the last days forum trawling, maybe it will jog someones memory:
> Fastboot commands
> Revolutionary hboot drivers
> USB brick
I know its probably time to lay the old Desire to rest, but I'd love to squeeze some more use out of it, I loved that phone.
Greatly appreciate the help
You did not get any errors when flashing RUU? Okay, cool. Check if you still have an ext-partition on your SD card. Maybe this let the romboot loop.
With revolutionary you will be able to get S-OFF and root in two simple steps:

But read the documentary site very carefully before doing anything!

Please read the thread. The solution is in there!
ok i had try revolutionary but it never find the device ( as on hboot or fastboot)
i have the htc fastboot driver so i don't see how i can user revolutionary
If you use Android Flasher while connected to the PC you can flash a recovery in fastboot mode. Either the latest Clockwork or 4EXT Recovery will make you able to flash a Desire(d) rom again
Hi to use android flasher i had to be S-off or woth the RUU of 2.3.3 i'm back S-on and i haven't find a way to go S-off from fastboot or hboot ...
After breaking my previous desire i got a new one from insurance past friday. I s-off and rooted it with revolutionary and ran the alpharev cm7 r2 partition table. All went fine and i installed the CM 7.2 RC rom and started downloading all my apps and stuff.
All seemed fine untill i shutdown my phone last night and when booting it up this morning it doesn't boot up into anything. I can only get into Hboot and fastboot. I've tried booting into recovery but it gets stuck on the boot screen again.
Now i've read the Q&A troubleshooter posted above here and i have already tried reflashing recovery, which sadly still didn't boot after the reflash.
Now i'm completely stuck on what to do and have been searching for over an hour now.
I've read i could do a RUU for my phone, but seeing as alpharev has protection against that i'm not certain that would even help. What would be the best solution here to get my phone working again. (and if possible with the current data on it , i hadn't made a backup of the full install yet)
Edit: some extra info
Hboot 6.93.1002
Bravo PVT3 S-off
radio 5.11.05.27
CM 7.2 RC
clockwork, not sure newest version for desire afaik
Did you try to remove battery?
yes, seeing as that is the only option right now to turn my phone off .
I also ran fastboot oem gencheckpt to force boot into recovery. The phone got stuck at htc splashscreen. I posted the cmd image information in this post.
when i pulled the battery to shut down the phone, the cmd gave and "error, to many links"
edit:
i ran the alpharev downgrade image to overwrite my hboot and see if i could get into recovery after reflashing that aswell. Sadly this didn't work and after flashing both it still gets stuck at the htc splash screen
i ran the downgrade hboot again and will not try to fix it with a RUU
hmm, the phone is still recognized by the pc, but i have a black screen and can't get it to display anything. did i use a bad ruu or? I"m really confused now :|
after looking in the troubleshoot again i tried to flash the bravo stock from alpha rev, but i'm getting a FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>
well seeing as i most likelly need a goldcard now and don't have another android device laying around i will have to continue this tomorrow or tonight.
if ANYBODY has any advice everything is really appriciated!
what RUU did you flash?
if it was under 2.xx that means you did slcd brick have look here
flash bravo stock from alpharev, then run (if you have a goldcard) the 2.2 WWE RUU, or your carriers RUU (make sure it's the latest one)
Check shipped-roms.com
i think i ran this RUU
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
which i got from this post, which i now see is terribly out-dated xD.
I got my phone from vodafone in Holland, and i just saw an RUU for bravo that was shipped by vodafone UK which also supports the same radio as mine. Is it a safe bet to use that one for the recovery process?
I wasn't able to run any images right now from fastboot for some reason so i will indeed need to make a goldcard. Will do so tomorrow and report back if i've had any succes.
Thanks for the advise!
OK, so i'm a bit confused by that guide i'm afraid...
I've noticed that in step 4 that i'm unable to enter recovery (no surprise seeing as i was unable before the RUU).
I can boot in to fastboot and hboot i think seeing as i get the "device connected sound" in windows. When i then enter ADB devices or fastboot oem gencheckpt it gives me some information, which can be seen in the screenshot.
What i'm now confused about is, do i still need to make a goldcard, and if so how? I tried running that goldcard creater software but it couldn't pull a CID. Should i create a goldcard by just using a phone of my friend (desire s :|)? Or is it possible to just run the right RUU straight away seeing as i can connect to hboot and fastboot, let that run and when that is finished use revolutionary to root my phone agian.
Attached is the cmd for fastboot oem gencheckpt and adb devices, although normally the fastboot oem gencheckpt finished with a "FAILED <status read failed<too many links>>
Gimme bootloader information, also what state is the phone in now, and what have you tried so far. (quick summary)
My bad just read you last posts.
Try the Vodafone RUU, it should work, don't see why it shouldn't. If that fails, make a goldcard with your friends Desire S, and flash the 2.2 WWE RUU.
If that fails then use the 2.3 RUU.
Ah great!!! I ran the vodafone ruu and atleast now i'm getting fastboot and hboot displayed again.
I'll see how far i can get on my own now. Thanks alot for all your help
Darn, aren't there yet...
I can now get into fastboot and hboot WITH it being displayed so that is already a big plus. However i'm still on a off partition format so i need to flash that back to the original partition format.
I'm S-ON right now so i can't do it through fastboot.
So i made the goldcard through my friends phone and place a PB99IMG.zip containing the alpharev bravostock on the goldcard.
When i then boot into HBOOT it gives me the reading PB99IMG.zip but doesn't give me an option to run the update afterwards. I then checked with the RUU i ran from my pc and created an PB99IMG.zip of that and let it run from HBOOT thus checking if the goldcard was functional. This worked perfectly apart from the partition table being screwed.
How can i now either install recovery from my goldcard while being S-ON or how can i succesfully run the bravo_stock image from my goldcard?
edit: I know i could use the old s-off trick from alpharev but i would prefer to use revolutionary instead seeing as it's more up to date...
k i think i know what to do.
i'll just create a bootable USB with the 1.8 hboot from alpharev on it. S-off my device and restore the partitions to stock.
Then run the RUU again so that my phone returns to stock sense and S-on.
After that i should be the basic root process all over again by running revolutionary etc right?
If you're S-ON. You DO NOT need to touch the hboot, and you can't anyway.
If you've got a goldcard just try the WWE RUU. And if that doesn't fix it then the 2.3 RUU.
That's all you need to do. NOTHING else.
The 2.3 RUU (the vodafone one i downloaded) doesn't work.
I don't think any RUU will work for my seeing as i'm still on the CM 7 r2 partition layout instead of the original sense layout (a little mistake i made when running the first faulty RUU). I'll try to run the WWE RUU first, but i don't think it'll achieve anything.
If i would now run the alpharev 1.8 hboot from a bootable USB it shouldn't put my device at risk right? :|
Edit:
i'm actually getting CID incorrect from the WWE RUU from the troubleshoot thread and from another WWE RUU i downloaded from shipped-roms.com
edit2:
alright, i tried 2 WWE RUUs, which when ran from my PC give me ERROR[131]: customer-ID error and a CID incorrect when done from my goldcard... i also tried alpharev hboot 1.8 but that didn't work either for the obvious reason that you need to boot into android and enable usb debugging and the WWE RUUs for i do not know what reason .
Damn i thought i had figured it out before going to college but aparently i was wrong >.<
i don't know if it's relevant but when i try to boot normally i get the HTC splash screen and it vibrates 7 times in a row...
So i think my goldcard might not be as golden as it should be. Should i try it with my other microSD, the one that i actually use in my phone, an 16 gb kingston?
If so can i use the same goldcard.img or should i create a new one?

Dear god how many times do I just need to repeat myself.
Just download http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152 , boot into fastboot mode, then run RUU.exe
There is no vodafone 2.3 RUU, there is only one, and it is unbranded.

ah right i'm sorry, i was a bit confused about that ruu because of some of the information displayed on shipped-rom.com. Prolly read it wrong or something.
Anyway the 2.3 RUU did indeed fix it! quite surprised after all this really didn't expect it! Thanks out a load and i'm sorry for touching a nerve there, it's just the first time doing anything like this so it was all a tad bit confusing!
