Hi everyone. I upgraded to gingerbread via RUU 2 weeks ago but unfortunatley battery has been very por and I have decided to root my device for the first time. I have read the guide and you tube video.
Unfortunately at this stage:
After its done
Put PD98IMG.zip to your SD card. You can close the cmd.
Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
Let it run the process.
I should get a message asking me wether I want to start update but unfortunately I get this message:
Main version is older!
Update fail!
press power to reboot.
What has happened here? How can I get this to work?
Any help appreciated
Please come to the downgrade thread to discuss this. Take a screenshot of your CMD window and post it, so I can identify your problem.

Stuck in a bootloop? Remove the battery. Go into the recovery, perform a full-wipe and flash again. If that not helps then boot youre phone again in the recovery and .....then:
Format youre sdcard from the recovery into swap=0, ext=512, remainder=fat32. You will loose all there is on youre sdcard.
Then after formatting. Turn off the phone. Take out the sdcard and copy the rom to youre sdcard. Put it back in the phone. Start youre phone in the recovery and flash the rom.
Thanks for the quick reply.!
The problem is i am unable to login to my phone. So how will i be able to flash the phone? only if i log in can i use rom manager isnt it? I am a total newbie at this. I would really appreciate it if you could explain this in detail to me!
thanks!
as I know power button with volume down together then wait then use volume down
to highlight recovery then power to enter.
It is explained in the first post of thus forum.
Hold down the back key while pushing the power button.
You will get a menu
Select Bootloader (by pressing power button)
Then wait for 10 seconds on the next menu
Scrol to Recovery with the volume-down button
Then you'll wait ten seconds and get a black screen with red traingle
now connect your phone to the pc with usb
start a adb recovery on the pc (for this you must have a recovery on the pc installed as well as Android SDK) in my case I just run the file recovery-windows.bat
Then you'll get a menu on your phone wit a lot of options, you can even select Ms-usb toggle after wich you can acces your sd card.
I am not a developer but think this is quite it. Download links are all in teh first thread of this forum.
Could you tell me if this would work?
I'll first wipe the phone, including the cache.
Then I'll copy paste the zip file of the Nextsense rom onto an sd card from my PC, insert into my phone, go to recovery mode, go to the sdcard-update.zip menu, and select the nextsense zip file.
Will that work?
Please help me out. and cheers to all u guys who took the trouble to reply so quickly. thanks..
I finally got it to work. All i did was I went into the recovery console, selected factory reset. and it got alright. Only problem is that i think my sd card got busted in the process. No idea what happened to it. It is not even getting detected by my laptop. I guess i ll have to get a new one. Thanks a ton to all the xda guys for helping me out. this forum is really kickass! I shall definitely return to xda to get help on further issues!
reformat your SD card , that should fix it !
Thanks! yeah, formatting the sdcard fixed it. Finally working properly now..
HTC desire stuck in bootscreen
I have the same problem with my desire. While loading a ROM with ROM manager the phone rebooted and started to install the ROM. But while it was installing it i error message came up and the phone froze. And after that it get stuck at the bootscreen. I've read the posts written earlier about this problem, but nothing works.
When I push volume down + power on the phone should think for a second and then show green texts about the SD card etc, but when this message shows it says it can't find anything on the SD card. And when I enter fastboot -> bootloader, it just throws me back to the home menu.. any ideas what to do?
you have to use recovery option in the bootloader
Unless you pushed the NewSense ROM via ADB you're most likely going to get a bootloop. After reading statements in the flashable versions of that ROM, that's what I've gathered: Bootloops.
Either wipe everything and install another ROM or install it the 'old school' way, using ADB.
hi i'm new here,
Currently my Desire totally can't boot up..it stuck on the HTC Welcome screen..
I already remove the battery and restart it..
Also done with the Hard Reset method.
Fyi, my Desire still in stock condition (Android 2.1)
Need some advise regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance guy's =)
Hi I've the same issue as biskut here. The only deference is that have 2.2.
can you please help us noobs
cheers

Where can i get to windows-recovery? I installed SDK but what then?
Similar problem
Hey.
I tried to s-off my phone using alpharev and I had the "waiting for flashing to complete". I tried to check if the proces was running with some commands and it seem as if I managed to restart the proces. I finally gave up and removed the phone. Probably too early because now I can only get bootscreen and Clockwordmod recovery. I'm unable to get further than that and therefore I'm not able to start the s-off proces again.
Can anybody help me?

Flashing a new rom didn't help? Are you sure you wiped everything? Does it boot if you pull out the sd-card?

hi for everyone
i think i have a big problem
my desire is broken.some days ago i upgraded my mobile via ota and my phone closed it is not opening now.when i intend to upgrade rom or use offical rom my phone closes and i have to wait for a while without its battery plugged to open.
when i wait for an hour by unplugging the battery it opens for 2 or 3 minutes nd closes again.
i cannot make goldcard because of not opening.or bootloader uprade downgrade
i cannot load official or any other rom it sometimes shakes 5 or 6 times.
my mobile phone is not branded in my country some of my friend brought it from foreign country so i cannot send it to service
how can i repair it.what do you suggest
sorry i forgot
my device shows on bootloader
bravo pvt1 ship s-on
hboot-0.93.0001
microp-031d
touchpanel-synt0101
radio-4.06.00.02.2
is it rooted or not.i cannot root it because it doesnt open 3 or 4 second
when it opens i enter my personal info like i purchased first then it closes
Tough situation. I haven't thought of this stuff in 5 months so I may be wrong. Don't hold me to this but I think there may be a way to change the boot loader via the SD card. I think I read it a few weeks ago. I remember it because I thought it may come in handy someday. I'll take a look and see if I can find the link again. Not so sure about the root. Can you get in to the boot loader? Press the power button while holding the vol down?
Either way I'd try unrevoked on it. If its booting then running for a few minutes, unrevoked may be able to catch it and do its thing. With that done you can go on to change the radio and Rom at will.
It sounds like you will be able to fix it but its going to take a lot of reading. All of the information you need is here. Finding it is always the problem.

yes i can get into bootloader but when i try to upoad offical ruu rom 1.21.405 it closes and everything repeats again
tthanks my friend if you help me i glad to you.....thanks....
Ok here's what I would do.
1. Go to unrevoked.com and select your phone. Download the package for the desire.
2. Check if it will work with hboot 93. Mine uses 83. There were issues with 93 back when the desire was first rooted. Unrevoked is now version 3, this may have solved the issues. Maybe someone with more recent experience can comment on that.
3. Get the radio and Rom you want. I'm using leedroid 2.3b and the newest radio. This can be found on the development section of this site.
4. If everything checks out, restart in bootloader and plug in your phone. It will ask for the Android 1.0 drivers which are in the unrevoked package. Point the installer to the location of the drivers and let it install. Unplug your phone and open unrevoked. It will say waiting for device.
5. This is where I'm not sure what will happen. Try restarting the phone normally and plug it in. It may pick up the device and restart it in bootloader to automatically do its thing and install clockworkmod. If so then you are home free.
6. Read all of the instructions for flashing radio and roms. Restart your phone, in boot loader. Don't press anything until the green words have appeared and disappeared. Select recovery & press the power. Count to 5 and press power + up volume. This can be tricky and you may have to do it a few times to get the hang of it.
7. The radio & rom must be stored on your SD card. Follow the instructions from the Rom cook to do the rest. Mostly, select zip from sdcard and apply for Rom. Then radio in 2 separate restarts. You should wipe all data.... wait a minute. Did you wipe all user data from your phone before upgrading? That may be causing the restart!
Let me know....
You need to learn all you can about the things you are about to do. Read all the instructions you find and do lots of searching. You are your warranty in this game!

when i tried to load rom it says unexpected file error
i cannot load the rom 00becau0se it waited at white screeen and there isnt bootloader menu on white screen only writes ruu
I've been wanting to root my phone but I'm having some problems. I tried following the guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219246
But it didn't work seeing as how my DInc2 is still in froyo 2.2.1, and revolutionary only works now with 2.3.3.
So now the problem is updating. Apparently Verizon thinks I have a defective unit, because when I got to the software update in the settings and hit check new, it says service unavailable (my service is just fine). It's been doing this since I got the phone, and I got it about right after it was released. Verizon tech support had no solution to this problem at all.
I've researched online and can't find any solution, and tried resetting my phone and that didn't help either. Anyone have any ideas or a link to a thread I didn't see? I just want to root my phone, whether I install gingerbread first or find a way to root it in 2.2.1 I don't really care. I found a link to revolutionary that worked on froyo but that was on megaupload so that's gone now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You should be able to download a stock 2.3.3 ROM and flash it.
This has directions and a link for 2.3.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599767
The important thing is the rom file must be named PG32IMG.zip and on the root of your sd card. To boot into the boot loader, turn the phone off, turn it on holding the volume down and power buttons down until the bootloader menu comes up. You may need to pull the battery out when the phone is off to get it to boot to the boot loader. I've had to on my phone.
You shold be able to find a 2.3.3 rom on your own.
You could put this file on your sdcard (not in a folder)
Then boot to bootloader by powering off, then hold volume down+power
Once it asks if you want to do then update select yes and dont interupt it.
MAKE SURE ITS NAMED: PG32IMG.zip
Heres the link below.

I could be wrong, but I believe that is the 2.3.4 rom.
I ran the Hack Ace on my HTC Desire HD from my Ubuntu 12.10 OS and I got to the point where the phone rebooted with the Android version downgraded to 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1.
In the Effen manual it then says to run the following command to check whether it worked
Code:
adb reboot recovery
but I get the red triangle.
Another section in the Effen manual headed "Flashing ROMs with ClockworkMod Recovery" says
Hold down vol- button, then press power to start, keep holding the vol- down button until Hboot menu shows up
After some file checks are done, use the vol- down button to scroll down to recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But when the Hboot menu appears, I cannot scroll, and after a short pause the phone loads the PD98IMG.zip file and prompts me with
Do you want to start update?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And it keeps doing this each time I try to access the Hboot menu.
I have searched the forums (I admit not all too thouroughly...) but did not find someone with a similar situation.
My phone works fine, but the whole point of the exercise was to flash the TrickDroid_v4.0.0 ROM eventually...
Any advice would be appreciated

Delete the PD98IMG.zip file from your sdcard. Let me advice you that you are just downgraded and not S-OFF and rooted if you just ran the kit once. Phones running OS 2.3.5 need to be run twice, the first to downgrade and the second to achive S-OFF, superCID and root....make sure that you check that you are S-OFF, otherwise you will get stuck. :good:
ran second hack
Thank you for your quick response.
I was under the impression that the script had run twice, but that was incorrect.
I ran the script a second time now, and the phone got set to S-OFF, rooted...
success

Dear glevitan,
This just to thank you, and torxx. I have successfully installed the TrickDroid_v4.0.0 ROM.

Really enjoying my rooted phone with its Trickdroid ROM, but I noticed today that I cannot film... :crying:
Anybody have some input on that?

I know this question has been asked 100 times but I still haven't reached a solution.
The steps I have taken so far were to unroot the device using the app Universal Unroot and then flash the recovery.img unto my phone before attempting to install the OTA. Unfortunately I arrive at the Red Triangle screen. I feel like I may have downloaded the wrong recovery.img. I attempted to extract it from the firmware.zip located inside my OTA update "OTA_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_O2_UK_4.20.206.1-3.32.206.9_release_414451c2husztk8pogy174.zip". Unfortunately it says the file is corrupted when I try and unzip it. I then found "stock+recovery+3.32.206.2+recovery.img" online which someone suggested would work the same.
What steps can I take to solve this?
Sorry for asking an over asked question.
When you arrived at the Red Triangle screen .. press and hold volume up and press power button once - the recovery will tell the error log.
Post the error log here.

I knew this would happen, as soon as I posted I got it sorted. It was indeed the wrong recovery.img that was causing the problem.
Thanks anyway.:good::good:
