[Q] Problem after last Update OTA

Hello all,
I have an unbranded desire (GSM), rooted with the latest unrevoked, and an official ROM.Today I have received a new update OTA… something with Android Market in size of 28.87 MB. I’ve tried to install but I have not succeeded. For more info about my phone see the attached pictures.
Now the details: I saw that the update was not working , so I decided to “force “ the install process using the install update.zip from clockwork mode (2.5.0.7) and toggle signature option (it was a message about some signature error). Everything looked fine, all the process and then a message tells me to restart. Since then a loop started: white screen with green letters for HTC logo and after that a restart. And again, and again…
I have a backup on sd card. But when I try to access, the recovery menu shows me a dark screen with a phone and a red triangle with “!” sign in it. I have also the official RUU but my computer refuses now to see my phone despite of a very good link between them. Two days ago I have installed the official RUU and the connection was ok. Maybe it is because my phone is not loading all of the starting process.
Help me please with some ideas, advices. Thank you.

You can't apply an OTA to a rooted Desire without issues - how many more poeple are going to do this before reading threads and realising this!!!
You'll have to hard reset and if that doesn't work flash a stock RUU and root again

PLease tell me how to hard reset or how to flash a stock RUU. please remember i can't connect to the computer because it's not loading all the starting process

You can either:
1. Download the 2.29.405.2 RUU from shipped-roms.com and flash it via FASTBOOT
or
2. Download the 2.29.405.2 PB99IMG from shipped-roms.com and flash it via HBOOT after renaming it PB99IMG.zip instead of the long file name I used, copying it to the root of your SD card and booting into HBOOT and following the instructions

Thank you very much for your quick answer.
But please be more specific
1. How to flash it via FASTBOOT?
2.Please give me step by step instructions on how to boot the zip file.
Sorry for being annoying. And sorry for my english

For RUU:
1. Download RUU from this link
http://www.multiupload.com/UOWLL86GVB
2. Turn off your phone
3. Turn it on again whilst holding the back button
4. Once the white screen with the 3 Androids at the bottom says FASTBOOT connect to PC with USB cable and it will change to say FASTBOOT USB
5. Run the RUU
6. All being good you'll be on stock 2.29.405.2
To flash the PB99IMG.zip:
1. Download the ZIP file from here:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
2. Turn off phone
3. Remove SD card from phone and connect to PC using a card reader and a micro to normal adapter
4. Rename the ZIP file to PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip) and copy it to the root of your SD card (root = not in any folders)
5. Put SD card back in your phone
6. Turn it on whilst holding volume down
7. Follow instructions on the phone
8. Once done you should be on stock 2.29.405.2
BOTH OF THESE WILL NEED YOUR GOLD CARD TO COMPLETE

thanks. Starting now...
JOB DONE... SMOOTHLY

You do it by RUU OR PB99IMG btw - NOT both

JOB DONE SMOOTHLY. Thanks a lot.

No probs, keep the RUU or PB99IMG to hand in case you need them in future

[Q] Cannot mount SD Card(clockworkmod)

Hi Experts,
I am getting serious problem in my clockworkmod recovery, I am not able to mount the card because of which I am not able to install any ROM, the thing is that I do not have any ROM installed on my phone so cannot go out from boot/recovery window.
I am getting error like when I try to open SD directory from recovery
can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0
Please help I tried searching the thread but could not find any good solution.
Formatted the SD-card card also but no success

I am having the same problem here

Plz help expert , I tried to use another sd card also although it was old with 128 mb space but same error was shown in recovery,
it is the case the the sd port might have been corrupted?
then i think the phone is gone
plz help

Plz help guys...no one to suggest something ...m thinking of taking the phone at service center....but u i think warranty is void now ...as it is rooted...

ok soz i just read 1st post carefully, will help you momentairly
also i need to know is your phone S-OFF ?? (did you do the alpharev procedure or just unrevoked)
you must set up ADB on your pc : http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ you dont need to do steps 3-5 since you already have the drivers (the same as rooting), you must download the ADB files from 'update' part after the step six, and dont do ADB devices cmd, do 'fastboot devices' while in fastboot mode (back+power) to check if you get a serial number (if yes it works if not you didnt do it right way)
when done, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt do :
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
this should fix your SD, then go into recovery and check if you can mount your SD (USB storage) to use it in windows, if yes you are good if not that is an USB-brick, it is fixable so dont worry

Thanks for the help .... Will try this ASAP....hope it helps
Also my phone is NOT S-OFF...Do i need this before proceeding or can I solve the issue like this..??

you dont need S-OFF and, if you have USB-brick i dont think you can make this procedure
first, do what i told you (set up adb and enable your sd card) and check if your phone has any usb-connectivity
also this will help you - How to set up pc to use adb and fastboot (if you wont make it with unlockr method)

thank dzumagos
I am now able to to mount SD card and able to see all files
but wen I run them thru recovery it show..
opening package.. then updating package.. then it returns to main screen of CWM recovery... does nothing ...this is happeing with all the zip files...

are you 100% sure the .zip file are OK ?
try downloading Oxygen ROM and flashing it.
also i do understand you can connect your phone with computer with USB cable [with USB storage enabled in recovery, does the windows see the FAT partition on sdcard] ?

check your md5 sums - or flash another recovery

Yes the zip files are OK i already installed them before (RCmixS)
but wen i mount from recovery the usb is not seen in windows...
but now m able to see the files in sd in recovery but cannot install ROM thru it..or run any zip file

usb brick ? Usb cannot be seen by windows?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691187

If i insert USB separately thru adapter it can be seen but wen the mount thru recovery it is not seen..does this mean it has bricked ..windows says cannot recognize mass storage device...

plz help guys still no gain...cant install rom...

firstly lets try to flash a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640&highlight=clockworkmod
download clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 ZIP file and put it onto your SD
then boot into recovery and flash the downloaded CWM.zip, it should now boot up into clockworkmod 3.0.0.5
now try flashing a ROM (rcmixs or some AOPS - Oxygen or CM7)
you can also try with clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 (but 3.0.0.5 is better imho)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&highlight=clockworkmod
now hopefully you will have a bootable device. now the usb-brick.
all you need to know is in the 1st posts of this two threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143252&highlight=usb-brick
also in the second thread there is 'visionary+' mentioned but you do not need it, since you are rooted already.
both threads describe the same method, read them and you will know what to do.
good luck
-----------------------
if for any reason you cant flash a ROM with a diffrent recovery then im outta ideas. someone else would have to figure out why cant you flash a ROM (not being able to flash a rom has got nothing to do with usb-brick)
just to be safe, try with oxygen.
----------------------
and if nothing works you could try a RUU (put phone into fastboot and then run the .exe file on PC and it will work) this should restore you to a Stock unrooted rom, but the USB-Brick will still be there, so you would need to do the method from 2nd thread with visionary+ to gain temp root

thanks a lot dzumagos
for all the help...will try it ...

simply try to change the recovery with unrevoked , download amonra recovery and it should work

But doesnt changing the recovery with unrevoked works when u have a ROM install...
As I do not have any ROM installed can I change the Recovery.....
the thing is I rooted the phone long back and now I forgot how I did it....need to search it ...
Also when I run CWM 3.0.0.5 thru recovery it changes to 3.0 but wen i reboot the recovery again CWM 2.5 comes
y is that so ??

yes it is the way it is supposed to be
it is called 'fake-flash' which means CWM 3.0.0.5 is flashed temporairly. so it is gone after a reboot. to flash it permanently you would have to be S-OFF which you are not but that is not a problem.
anyway were you able to flash a ROM using 3.0.0.5 or does is act the same as 2.5.0.7 ???? did you try with Oxygen rom ??

[Q] Help with SD problems

So Ive been having problems with my SD card as posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16689682&postcount=286, and my question is, can someone explain to me how to flash back to stock without the use of my SD card ? Or am I screwed ? Thanks.

What you can do is download the RUU exe for the hboot you are on, if 2.10, its the 3.70, if 3.16, its 4.24 [the new ota], then connect the phone to the pc via usb, boot into the bootloader, select fastboot, then run the exe on the pc.

Thanks for the reply, and sorry for the noob question but how do you determine what hboot you are on ? Cause if I boot to the white Revolutionary screen (volume down + power) the third line down says "HBOOT-6.16.1002", is this right ?
----------
*EDIT*
Also dont know if this will help but when I am in recovery, if I try to mount my SD card it says "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (I/O error)"

Well I don't know if it was changed, but since you were on 2.3.3, you had to be on the 2.16, so for ruu purposes, look for that.

Alright, got stock back on. Thanks a lot.
I didn't know which one to use so I decided that since I have only had my evo for less than a month then I would use the latest version and it seems to have worked. So again, thanks a lot.

Okay, so I guess that I have a hardware problem and I will have to have it replaced. While my phone was just sitting there a notification came up that said "SD card unexpectedly removed"
Do I have to change the phone back to S-On before I get it replaced or can I keep it S-Off ?

Glad that you got it working, and you need to be s-on.
If you're s-off, re-root, then download the unrevoked s-on tool, flash the zip in recovery, make sure the bootloader reads s-on, the unroot again.

okay, so when I try to use the unrevoked s-on tool it fails and says unsupported radio type. any fix for this ?

try the 3.70 radio

You need to go to the development thread, then download the 2.1...11.19 radio and flash that.

Thanks for all the help guys. I've ran into another problem now. Before this new problem, if I wanted to put a new file on my SD card I had to flash to stock which gave me a 30-45 second window to mount the card to my pc and copy any files I needed to and power off before it unmounted it. Then I had to reboot, run revolutionary and get a recovery before it unmounted. Then I could flash a zip from my SD. BUT NOW, even if I reflash stock, it auto unmounts the SD at bootup.
Frustrated but still trying to problem solve.... Will update if anything changes.

Okay. I think I got it fixed now. After spending all day trying and flashing my phone at least 12-15 times it seems to be doing okay.
Solution : New SD card
Thanks for your help everyone !

[Q] I think I bricked my Desire.

Hi,
In an attempt to downgrade from HBOOT 1.03 to Alpharev I followed the tutorial in this forum titled "[S-ON][TUTORIAL] Downgrade from a ROM Hboot 1.03 to a ROM Hboot 0.9". Problem is, when I tried to flash misc, I was not using a gold card and pretty much corrupted the partition. After that my phone is now pretty much useless. No calls can be made, does not pick up my carrier, can't mount SD card. trying to install stock RUU crashes both my PHONE and my COMPUTER.
Things I've tried:
Use stock RUU to flash again ( Crashes computer and phone )
Use fastboot to flash stock ROM.ZIP in RUU ( Says RUU is corrupt )
Use PB99IMG.zip on card, reboot, nothing happens ( says image is corrupt or not found ).
Try restore from nandroid ( can't mount sdcard )
I have the original misc partition on my computer, so if i find a way to restore it I can flash it back.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Apart form a walk down to a Telstra dealer and coming back with a new phone?
Thanks =]

link of the forum?
1.03 is htc unlocked you can't downgrade

Sorry, it's unlockable...

I think you got in usb-brick situation.
I'm not sure if you can flash misc with S-ON define?
try "fastboot flash misc mtd0.img" (you can use your misc or donwload from web (keyword: Quick & dirty HTC Desire mtd0.img generator for usb-bricked devices by stevebrush))

What was the file that you named PB99IMG.zip originally? Was it an HBoot .img, ROM...??
Had a USB Brick a week or so ago, when going CM7 > DG > CM7r2...except in haste, I forgot to flash the r2 after DG and tried to flash ROM. OOOPS!!! lol. When I loaded CM7r2.img and renamed PB99..., I must have loaded the wrong file and got the same response you did. Tried again, got it right this time and phone updated and rebooted, all good.
Sorry, I don't recall exactly what I did to cause the corrupt image, but I know that perserverance fixed it...

Main Version is Older - not possible to create the goldcard anymore

Hi people.
I am trying to install the RUU the special version of DHD that I have.
I found at the end the rom file and I renamed it to PD98IMG.zip and I got it started but I get the message: Main Version is Older
I read that I have to create a gold card (memory card) and put the file PD98IMG.zip and try again.
The problem is that I cannot create the goldcard anymore. The website for the IMG FILES doesn't work anymore.
http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
Do you know if there's other possibility to flash to ruu? The phone is unusable. The only possibility is to install the RUU.
Thanks in advance.

First of all,we need a fast boot getvar all to help
