Hi all,
Have been having problems with my desire rebooting itself for a while now.
A few months ago, this resulted in the phone getting stuck at the first HTC screen. At the time, after searching the forums for an answer, I downloaded the HTC WWE ruu, and installed it with no problems, which brought the phone back to life.
So when the same thing happened yesterday, I thought I'd do the same thing again. I didn't have the RUU I used last time to hand, so I downloaded the latest one from shipped roms -
(RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe).
The update process started OK, but failed with error 152: Image Update Error
So I clicked on Recover, and followed the steps. When I unplugged the usb cable, I was presented with the white RUU screen, which showed:

I thought it might be a corrupt download, so I hunted down a few other downloads of the same file, but they all had the same MD5 - bae5f3e1bf9f7e2e7d47d5e51254103b.
Now I am at a loss, and any help you can provide would be appreciated.
If I could just get it back to sticking at the HTC screen, I could return it for a replacement (its still under warranty).
More information in case it helps:
Unbranded desire purchased from play.com last year
I dont have a gold card
Previous working android install was 2.29.405.5, installed by OTA update.
Phone is not rooted - have never attempted this.
Running RUU from Vista as an administrator
SOLVED
Believe it or not, I managed to flash the stock RUU after placing the phone in a plastic bag in the freezer for five minutes.
The inspiration came from this post.

Many thanks to janielsen for this (somewhat scary) suggestion.

This is after trying to flash the froyo version for my phone.
I cannot get to a valid boot loader, the only option on my bootloader is RUU and it's not selectable.
It's on the wrong radio for a FroYo ROM, something's gone wrong...
I need help lads.
My Desire is suffering from the rebooting problem, so I thought I'd get it back to stock condition and get it fixed before the warranty runs out.
Ok, I need to unroot and restore the stock ROM on my HTC Desire.
I'm using an RUU from Shipped ROMs.It works fine until it gets to the radio part. The radio part is what is failing for some reason.
I get a message saying the radio part fails, but it's the same radio that is currently on my phone.
After I get the message about it failing, I get this come up on the white screen of the HBoot menu when I unplug the device.
For reference, this is what I get after the failed attempt.

Just updated the first post with more information.
Is this fixable?
Can it be solved by sending it off to HTC? I am still within the two year warranty period.
Well if they replace whole motherboard in repair, broken radio doesn't matter. Propably it's a software problem and it will be overwritten. Of course if you want to try fixing the radio before getting it to recovery, you can root, s-off and try to flash another radio on fastboot.
I´m trying to restore my desire to factory RUU with RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed but get error.

Go to alpharev.nl and download the Bravo DOWNGRADER and flash it.
When it's done, then flash the RUU.
Ok.
I have downgrade.
Started flash RUU. Flashing have started and after 3 seconds the screen is total black.
I try to reboot but screen are still black..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632
this helped me out when it happened to me.
The OP got a Radio-brick. And a Radio brick can only be fixed by HTC. So I am pretty sure we cannot help him.
I did try to upgrade my phone to v2.3 and update was fail in 81%
RUU file did download on this site http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P50
Now am stuck with HTC logo and 4 "!" marks in the corners.

Help me please I'm in a real problem
how to solve this?
You got a radio brick = dead phone
They say you can try and run the RUU again and again because you might get lucky.
Check the troubleshooting guide on my sig to see if you have a chance of fixing it.
Otherwise you need to go to HTC.. or buy a new phone.
Maybe it's not too late. Like Stankyou said try to flash RUU again, and if doesn't work try to get s-off with revolutionary cause you can still enter bootloader. Then flash radio from fastboot.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
revolutionary doesn't work in this case... It needs a running system...
try couple of times ruu if no worky try freezer trick too, unfortunately you need to send it to htc
