there is any solution to make it?
Had a similar issue on my unbranded Desire when I updated an HTC push from 2.1 to 2.2. Some Desire's have to have a Gold Card to properly do flashing
Here's the place where I got the info to do it (probably much simplier methods, but hey... it worked)
http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-how-to-create-a-gold-card
After the gold card, I was able to install a stock version of 2.29.
Hope this helps.

Hi, aim a beginner,can you please help me?
Enter your SD Card Serial (CID) => I do not understand what he mean...
It's a very long identifying number for your SD card.
If you can get to the Market, Download Gold Card Helper like the instructions say.
It will generate the number you need. Follow the instructions on the link I sent.
Basically, you use gold card helper to generate the code. Go back to the link I sent, enter the code on their page, and they will e-mail you an attachment.
Start the hex editor you downloaded from their page, follow their instructions exactly, highlite and paste in the code they mailed you. Save, and you have a gold card.
Above all, follow their instructions TO THE LETTER.
Oh, one more thing, to get the links to download the program you need, and to enter the code that will be generated, just run your mouse over their text, it's all in blue color, so is difficult to see the links.
I flashed the Cyanogen Mod 7 onto the phone about 3 months ago, and today tried a different ROM as my girlfriend's O2 card (It's a UK Orange phone) wouldn't work in it, and the SIM unlock code which I paid for wasn't working - the guy I bought the code from said it's probably ROM-related.
I've tried flashing a LeeDroid ROM, and an INSERTCOIN ROM but neither work. With Leedroid I get bootloops, and with the other it gets to a colourful background but nothing else on screen and no other buttons do anything.
I've gone into bootloader mode and tried just running an exe file (for example an HTC_WWE_BRAVO_date_version number_etc from the laptop with the phone connected via USB, but this doesn't work either.
At my wit's end now as I think I've bricked the phone...
Can anyone help at all?
Why does flashing ruu not work?
ur supposed to be in fastboot. not hboot when trying to restore using ruu
Thanks for the tip -
I get as far as an updating signature message for about 10 seconds, then it crashes out with:
ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
This problem is easy to fix. Create goldcard with linux, put this in your desire and then flash ruu again:
http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/how-to-create-goldcard-with-ubuntu.html
I managed to successfully create a goldcard, but upon flashing the RUU .exe file, it gets to the 'updating signature' part (before the percentage completion bar has even started) and then crashes out with the following message:
Error [132] SIGNARURE (sic) ERROR
Please try to flash again with a different ROM update utility (or words to that effect).
EDIT: Now working. Thanks MatDroid!!
Hello there,
I just installed MIUI_Au ICS on my rooted HTC Desire, and am now trying to get rid of my S-On.
My OS is Ubuntu 11.10, 64bits.
My phone details are as follow:
- Bravo PVT1 Ship S-On
- Hboot 0.80.0000
- MicroP-031d
- Radio 5.17.05.23
I tried running Revolutionnary, but it does not support Hboot 0.80 ; I tried to go back to Unrevoked, but it does not work properly on a 64bits OS.
What should I do?
Are all hboot seen on Alpharev S-Off'd, even the one labelled "Stock"?
Bonus question: is my radio up-to-date?
Radio is ok, you need to run alpharev not unrevoked to get s-off, see instructions on alpharev.nl

Thanks. So nandroid backup, install the "Stock hboot" from Alpharev with fastboot, wipe, nandroid restore → should be good?

Nandroid yes then you need to run alpharev.iso to unlock nand (get rid of protection) then you will be able to flash custom hboot, recovery etc... Without it all flashing will fail... Read instruction about s-off on custom roms first...
Edit: best thing will be to revert to rooted stock Rom then run alpharev utility

Do I really need the Linux LiveCD? I'm already running Linux after all.
Well, I'm worried.
I did a nandroid backup first, then fired up unetbootin to make a bootable Alpharev USB drive and reboot my computer.
Stages 1 and 2 went supposedly fine, but my computer is now sitting there doing absolutely nothing on Stage 3.
During Stages 1 and 2, the terminal spit a few worrying messages but the process still went on automatically, without me taking action; those messages are :
- Unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
Stage 3 currently looks like this:
Step 3 of 3 is starting. During this step, you will receive instructions and progress on-screen. This is normal. DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE DURING THIS STEP, HBOOT is beeing flashed during this stage, and turning it off WILL *BRICK* your phone!
Waiting for flashing to complete...
- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
- Unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
Phone is stuck on this screen:
AlphaRev SPLBOOT version 2.0
----------------------------------
Normal NAND detected. Non-PVT4.
It has been about 15 minutes and nothing is happening. Any advice? Think I can power everything off safely (it seems to me the Stage 3 process did not start at all, but I could be mistaken), or anything else to do?
Did you go to rooted stock rom as I told in previous post?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I'm afraid not. The rom is still MIUI Au ICS, rooted.
I'm getting "device not accepting address XX, error -71" where XX is a number ranging from 55 to 90 now.
According to http://paulphilippov.com/articles/how_to_fix_device_not_accepting_address_error it seems to be some kind of hardware failure / power failure on the PC side.
Any script? Like data2sd or data2whatever?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I used to have A2SD+ on a previous MIUI install (based on Gingerbread), but not with this rom.
However, it seems there's some kind of unified mass storage space since the "internal unused space" seen by the device was of approx 700Mo (I do have a 1Gb Ext3 secondary partition on the card). I did not manually install any kind of script myself.
____
Found this:
http://www.miui-au.com/faq/a2sd/
"MIUI-Au is built around A2SD+ and you Should have an ext3 partiton on your SD Card before installing MIUI-Au.
MIUI China, and many other ROM chefs, use Darktremor A2SD (we’ll call it DT-A2SD). DT is stable, reliable and very full featured with a command line interface that can be used to change many settings. In early 2011 DT stopped moving the Dalvik cache to the SD Card automatically and it had to be done using the command line interface (a2sd cachesd command). We at MIU-Au were not happy with this and some other aspects of DT so we built our own A2SD, which we call PC-A2SD. Features of PC-A2SD are: Invisible, automatic, no command line interface and nothing for the user to do. Automatically puts Dalvik cache on SD Card. Automatically handles slow to mount SD Cards and will also allow the ROM to run without an SD card. In real world use we believe it is no slower than DT, and provides 40Mb – 80Mb more internal phone storage by moving the Dalvik cache out of the phone and onto the SD Card.
If you are using MIUI-Au and have your SD card partitioned correctly with an ext3 partition, A2SD+ is Invisible and Automatic. You do not have to do anything to make it work."
If it DOES fake the NAND on the SD card, switching off the phone and rebooting WITHOUT the µSD card might allow me to still access my current Recovery (Clockmodwork)? This seems quite like playing russian roulette to me.
Thanks to Zanzibar on #alpharev for poiting out this FAQ : http://alpharev.nl/instructions.txt
"No output other than 'Normal/New NAND detected.' -> Nothing was flashed.
- Pull the battery, there's no risk."
I just did, and everything went well. Restoring my Nandroid backup now from the Clockmodwork Recovery.
I'll flash a stock rooted HTC rom and try again properly.
Thank you for the help and support.
Thanks. I'm at work on the phone, my resources are limited, goodluck with stock rom

Hello Miles,
I've got exactly the same device than you with same hboot version, and I'm currently trying to find a way to s-off it.
I did a lot of research on the web but I can't seem to figure out how I can actually get rid of the s-on.
Did you manage to eventually s-off your desire, and if yes, can you tell me how ?
Thank you !

Is it really compatible with HBOOT 0.80.0000 ? I thought it was not. Maybe I got confused with the Revolutionary method (aka Alpharev X).
I'll give it a try, thanks !
Yes, I was 80.

Ok,
I've finally found a way to s-off my desire !
All I had to do before the whole process was to flash with an official HTC RUU (2.29.405.4), so it updated the hboot from 0.80.0000 to 0.93.0001.
After that, I could use revolutionary 0.4pre4 which support this hboot version and let it do the magic.
Installed 4ext touch recovery, Runnymede AIO, and everything's now just fine !
All you needed was rooted stock custom rom and alpharev.
Yes I know and I tried that, but for some reason it didn't work and gave me an "unary operator expected" error during the final step of the process.
I've googled that error and found different causes and solutions, but I didn't want to spend too much time on it, so I took the "easy way".
Anyway, now it works and I'm very happy
fair enough
OK, I have been battling this problem for weeks now; Turning 'On' WiFi almost instantaniously produces "Error" below the button and it does not work.
First of all this device is an Oversea version that I purchased. Sold as "htc Desire Z a7272 1.5gb UNLOCKED"
Second, internally it represented itself as "T-Mobile G2"
I read all the people that had the same issue, no more WiFi. One user thought the this may have first occured when the phone updated to 2.2 over the air in the U.S.; and yes this device said 2.2 as the current OS. I tried very thing that was suggested #*#* stuff, RUU's of all kinds, even called HTC, which by the way were extremely helpful, but no solutions.
The HTC Update for the G2 by all accounts, including HTC, should be the one not WWE version of China TW.
G2RUU2012.exe is available direct from HTC for 2.3.4. I think in the update it show the phone was 1.19 then it show 1.22 (each ruu seemed to see it different)and was going to load 2.?? or something
Running RUU produced Error 156 Image error or Error 130 Model ID Error
Tried adb.exe and putting the renamed rom.zip PC10IMG.zip on the SDcard and HBOOT. Starts to load but also produces "ModelID incorrect"
Strangely enough my helpful HTC Tech pointed me back to this forum and suggested trying to root the phone and get an update loaded. He also suggested sticking with the G2 update for the s/n of the phone came back as a G2 not a Desire Z even though he said the IMEI was not attached to that s/n. Dang Chinese. Anyway I kept reading. Yes, reading the log file shows the WiFi drive failing to load so could be hardware or the 2.2 update had something wrong? My Bluetooth worked by the way. Ran into one post that suggested that he might not have had a SD card in the phone when the update hit and THAT caused an error in the update, I keep coming back to the strangeness of the phone, some cluge, 1.5GB, not 4GB of the US G2.
ANYWAY, after reading NOT to perminently root the G2 and hearing the HTC guy say the same, try and stick to the G2 flash for now not knowing what the board was exactly, I found the Visionary+ Temproot Method which sounded a good way to try and get to the current 2.3 from HTC. THe write up assumed you could get to Google Apps (I have no data plan) so how do I get apps to the phone. More searching.
Found and Installed CNET's Android Injector, SWEET, to push apps onto the phone. Works great
Found a Internet Download of ASTRO File Manager apk
Found the Internet Download for com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk
Already had the G2RUU2012.exe from HTC (you need to run to the first screen, stop, go o your Windows TEMP directory, open the last folder made there adn the subfolder and find the rom.zip, copy and rename PC10IMG.zip)
Connected the phone through USB and turn on USB Storage
Copied com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk to the SD card.
Copied the G2RUU2012 PC10IMG.zip to the SDcard (TMobile Android 2.3.4)
Now Turned off USB Storage.
Goto "Applications"
Check "Unknown Sources"
then select "Developement"
Check "USB Debugging"
Now you are good to go.
With Android Injector installed, double click on the ASTRO apk, opens Injector and go ahead and install it.
Go to the phone, start ASTRO, open the External SD Card, and run the Visionary apk
In Visionary check the Temproot on reboot, then press the Temproot Now
When it finished, I powered down the phone and restarted in HBOOT (hold Volume Down button and then press the Power button)
When HBoot screen came up, the G2 Flash ACTAULLY COMPLETED! All is working again and I am on the lasted Android version for the phone.
Oh, Forgot
:laughH, I forgot, I was doing this on a GOLDCARD created from my SD Card using SImple Goldcard. From what I had read it was required, and this program created a correct goldcard easily.
good day bro. i need your help my bluetooth and wifi are not working too on my htc desire z. can u assist by mailing [email protected]. we need to talk. i will be expecting your mail
Hello people,
Background info what I did before problem arose:
I wanted to root my Desire Z, so I figured out what to do:
- downgrade android 2.3.3 to 2.2 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 ; option 4a didn't work, bootloader didn't see PC10IMG.zip while it was on the SD card in root folder. Option 4b did work luckily.
- root desire Z via http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD and made it to superCID, simlock off and S-OFF
So now I got a working Desire Z with android 2.2
Wish I stopped there...
I decided to try out android 4.2.1:
- I installed rom using http://genius-tips.com/update-htc-desire-z-to-android-4-2-1-jelly-bean-cm10-1-custom-rom/
It worked. I now have an Desire Z with android 4.2.1. But it was somewhat slowish so I decided I wanted my gingerbread back:
- I tried to install roms but somehow it didn't work, I kept my 4.2.1
- I followed the same steps I did to downgrade to 2.2 as described above, and it worked.
So I got a working Desire Z with android 2.2
- using HTC software update (settings -> about telephone -> software update) I download and install update 1
- download and install update 2
From here it gets interesting for this topic:
- download and install update 3, which is android 2.3; and during the install, while I still have my usb cable connected from laptop to telephone, my laptop battery runs out and update on telephone somehow fails (WTF, it is in charge only mode when it is installing right? The battery was full, or full enough, the telephone downloaded the update itself to SD-card or internal memory, so I assumed there was no connection.)
But now the Desire Z doesn't boot any more, it stays on the htc logo, without the 'quietly brilliant'.
- I tried via bootloader reset to factory defaults: vibrate, htc logo, image of telephone with green arrows above and loader below with image of SD-card on the right of loader. But loader doesn't progress and after some time telephone resets and stays at htc logo.
- I tried recovery via bootloader: vibrate, htc logo, and image of telephone with red exclamation mark and red triangle.
- no connection via sdk/adt.
I also tried to boot CyanogenMod 7.1 from SD-card using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572924 , but same result as above.
What can I do to save my Desire Z, other than replacing motherboard ?!
Please help...
The update failed being it was in the process of writing some firmware when you lost power, this tends to mean a partial update and a brick. The pc10img.zip you tried to flash before was not to be in any folder, so not a folder called root, rather no folder at all.
This may also be your salvation, maybe the only way of fixing, more info here

Thanks, I will try it out this afternoon.
To clarify:
In order to downgrade to android 2.2 I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 in which is stated
I - 4a) Manual Downgrade
...
Desire Z: "PC10IMG.zip"

Place the zip file in the root of your sdcard.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What does this mean if I am not supposed to have this file on my SD-card ? [edit: Or did my previous post suggest I had a folder called 'root' on my SD-card in which I had the zip?]
Second thing to clarify:
When my telephone has battery AND it is connected to my laptop (charge only I assume) AND my telephone is updating firmware from the SD-card/internal memory of the telephone; why would the telephone lose power / fail installation at the moment my PC tries to shut itself off because of low battery. Or is there something wrong in my assumptions?
Yeah I misunderstood ya, I thought you had a folder named root, if you did don't,
I must have been reading too fast I also thought you were doing an ruu through the computer not an ota update which is what you were doing, if that's the case the power loss on computer shouldn't have mattered unless there is some weird deal that I don't know about when charging through PC.
Can you confirm what is written on bootloader screen, radio, SPL, etc?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Sure, I posted it on the topic you recommended me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37613472 to continue there.
Conclusion:
Format SD card in FAT32 if it wasn't yet, then bootloader can read images again and flash ROMs. Then telephone is unbricked
Thanks.
