My wife going to kill me
This is where the instructions I was using goldcard was succesful etc
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-desire/
The last stage I reach was n0.7
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it

Firstly, I'd recommend using unrevoked to root the phone. The way you are using is old and complicated.
Secondly, i imagine that your hboot is not 0.8 which means you'll need to downgrade.
It might be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750852 that you need to read and follow, although I'm not sure.
It would help if you knew what hboot you were.

hboot was 0.75 tmobile version was 1.15

With goldcard in the device, can you flash http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe successfully?

Device wont go into bootloader mode I'm trying this one now

This is crap

The RUU itself can't put into bootloader?
If you want to try unrevoked, this is the post you need:
Q. My screen goes blank when I use custom recovery with unrevoked3.
A. You have an SLCD display and will need to use an updated recovery image until unrevoked3 itself is updated. It is safe to use this updated image on AMOLED screens too. You can download the image here: http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749551 - has everything about slcd rtc

The main problem is my screen is black and I cant see anything although windows is still detecting device

Instead of the RUU, try giving unrevoked a whirl with that custom recovery image (make sure phone is unplugged whilst started unrevoked). Also, follow the instructions from unrevoked about installing the htc drivers (unless you have already installed the latest htc drivers).
Battery pull, then turn on whilst holding volume down. Hopefully this will give you bootloader and unrevoked should be able to do its magic (if you select that custom recovery image)
This will give you root.

1. Choose desire then download.
2. Follow instructions in hboot driver.html (to make sure your phone is recognised correctly)
3. Run reflash.exe
4. File>Custom Recovery (Ctrl+R)
5. Download and select http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
6. Plug in desire - hopefully you have USB debugging enabled. If not, I think you can achieve root by loading bootloader yourself (battery pull device and then vol down + power)

I done everything but still dont understand what to do with this recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
the drivers were installed correctly and my computer can see my device,
But still no luck I think I'm missing something I cant see anything on my screen, I know the device alive as I can hear the atrt up sound and compuer now detect in device manager

This is what hapens when I try to attempt flashing with official ruu

Ok unplug the desire from the pc then battery pull and then hold volume-down (on left hand side of the phone) and then press power (whilst holding volume-down). Then plug in and run the RUU again.
With that recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img, you select it in unrevoked by pressing ctrl + r (on windows) and then just connect your desire.
Do the RUU first

first think u sholud know about rooting is hboot version.. maybe you have hboot 083 version

Its detected and ruu runs and check my current version and shows which version I'm uploading to, the problem is its trying to detect bootloader and thats where its failed

Did you do what i said? battery pull, then voldown + power?

This is the failed flash ruu after trying to find bootloader
I think this is getting hopeless and I want to thank so far all those who are helping me

It sounds like the HBOOT has been corrupted somehow. There is no way of fixing this yourself.
You will have to return it to HTC and see if they will fix it for you.

You could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
I had a similar problem when I first got my SLCD. I installed a different HBOOT which showed a blank screen all the time. This process might work for you.

Just as a matter of interest, what exactly did you flash before it bricked?

Deadly serious.
You get a bootloader error when trying to flash a RUU. This means that the computer can't talk to the bootloader.
You say it vibrates every time you click power and vol down, which suggests that the bootloader isn't initialising at all.
Can you please answer my question regarding what you flashed before it bricked?

Bricked evo..help please

ok so i just tried rooting my evo. I used an out dated rooting method not compatible with the version of my phone. I have 3.30, hboot 2.02, and radio 2.15.00.09.01. When i turn the phone on it gets stuck at white htc screen. I can boot into the bootloader. I have tried running the ruu but when i do it doesnt recognize my phone is connected. I have htc drivers installed...i dont know what to, do please help

Does the hboot says s-on or s-off? If your s-off try flashing a rom through recovery or a pc36img ruu through the boot loader.

Well one, if you can get to the bootloader, you most likely aren't bricked, so breathe! What root method did you try to use? How far in the process did you get? How long did you let it stay at the HTC screen? Sometimes it takes a good long while. If I was in your situation, since your computer won't recognize phone, is take your SD card out of the phone. Download a stock ruu zip. Rename it to PC36IMG.zip. put it on your SD card, put SD card back in phone, and boot into the bootloader. It should find the zip, and you select to flash it. Give that a try.
EDIT: Damn,I'm always too late! And yea, as he said, if you are s off, and did successfully flash a recovery image, try flashing a Rom first. Id be surprised if you are s off with recovery if you used an old method with the 2.02 hboot. What happens when you select recovery from bootloader?

Find and download RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.30.651.2_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_003_release_154209_signed
That's the one that worked on a hardware 004 Evo I used the old method on

Any luck getting your phone back up?

my s is still on..when i go to recovery it shows the evo with the red exclamation mark. I will try putting the ruu zip on my memory card..i need to go get a usb for my hero as it seems i cannot find it and have no other way to put a file on my sd card. any ideas if that doesnt work? i am a little confused as why it will let me issue adb codes in the command prompt but htc sync does not pick up the phone

Yup your still not rooted. Try to get a way to put a file on your usb card so you can load a PC36IMG.zip ruu of your 3.30 rom so you can get back to stock and start your process over with unrevoked.

I have dealt with this issue before. It is difficult to get an ruu to run but I think it is worth it. Find the right ruu for your phone to get you back to stock. Once you have this get your phone in to bootloader and use the fastboot command I believe it is. This will help your computer recognize your phone. Then run the ruu after you have done this, may take a few tries but im positive it works. Good luck.

Do you have a card reader? that would also work. Would probably also be cheaper than a usb cable I would think, not sure though. (unless of course you still use the hero and want a new cable anyways)

Thanks guys your awesome...was able to get the stock ruu pc35img on my sdcard..time to give rooting it a second go..with the right procedure this time..haha..thanks again

[Q] How to do S-On with not working touchscreen

Hi
I would like to know is it possible to do S-On and unroot Desire HD with not responding touchscreen? Without it i can't turn on USB Debugging to run Jokljo's tool (Easy Radio Tool v2.2) to go back to S-on. First time was unsuccesfull. I still have S-Off, SuperCid. Only ClockworkMod has been removed. Even original recovery hasn't restored. When I go there only an orange triangle with exclamation mark appears.
I have to go back to stock to give guarantee for.
I returned to stock Rom with CWM-nandroid restore. Before that I was trying other Roms but touchscreen still was dead. I think it is hardware issue. I don't know why. It occured after reboot because I had problem with GSM Network which turned alternately off and on.
Can anyone help?

Run a stock HTC RUU and it will restore everything except Radio S-OFF, (I wouldn't worry about that)

ohh dear... display r.i.p......
the only one thing that happens to me its go to recovery and go with te buttons to "mounts and storage" enable the "usb mount" option... copy and paste from your pc an official rom without root (look at for it in XDA files)...
when you flashes an official rom you loose the root access (sure)
for to go back to s-on you need the display... But with luck in the technical service they will not realize

But I don't have recovery at all. Easy radio tool removed Clockworkmod Recovery and didn't restore original. I have no recovery. That is the problem. Plus dead touchscreen...
I thought that is possible to revert to stock with adb shell. Somehow...

Download a RUU (ROM Update Utility) and run it from your PC, easy. You only need to plug in your phone and switch it on.

for use an adb shell you must to have a CWM rec. or put your device in usb debugging.
if there´s not another mode you can´t use android sdk

Should I try newest Rom? I.e RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3? What do U think?

There's nothing you can do about it now, since you need root for S-ON, and only way you can do it currently is with visionary tool(there's no way to gain root via your computer ATM, and probably it won't be developed), and you need your touchscreen for that... Install the RUU which your phone came with when you bought it, send it to tech service, and pray that they won't look/ignore that it's S-OFF...

Cannot access recover mode

So I've been trying to root my dads old Desire for a while now, with no success - it is locked to o2 and I'm on Orange. I didn't really want to pay to unlock it, and rooting it would have been nice. I've done two phones before, so I figured it shouldn't be too bad. Eventually I discovered it was HBOOT 1.03, and this was the problem, so the solution was to backdate the software to an earlier version (the phone is still S-ON and I cannot get this thing to take ANYTHING)
I was trying to roll back from Froyo to 2.1.
The current problem is that now the phone will not boot. With a simple turn-on it just sits at the white HTC screen, or if you go into Hboot it tries (what I assume is) 'fastboot' and checks the PB99IMG.zip file on the SD card. If I say I don't want to update and go to 'recovery' it loads the screen with the exclamation mark in a triangle in it. The problem here is that pressing up+power does nothing. I've tried a quick press, and a long hold multiple times, and with no result except the first time. Unfortunately I didn't go through the proceedure the first time, assuming it'd work again. Damn!
If I start the update it says 'can not roll back the hboot version'. It also fails on the radio_v2.
Any help will be much appreciated, and if you need any details (I've probably missed something) please ask!
Thanks

If it fails with Radio_v2, then it's a radio brick, and that's the reason it won't boot. I'm afraid you can't do much, due to the hboot version.

I'm not too worried about getting a different rom on it, or rooting it or anything any more, currently I'd like to just put it back into a working state, as it was, probably locked to o2, if you've any suggestions on how to do that?

The one step here I'm halted by is producing a Goldcard - the link to the website on the tool doesn't work any more (I've scoured t'internet, and that's the general consensus). Any idea where else I can input the CID to get a Goldcard Image?
Also how do I run the RUU on my computer? What file is it in the HTC Desire Android Upgrade folder I need to run? Afterall, there's no file titled 'RUU.exe'
Thanks

Just realized that it wouldn't work, because you have to boot your phone for the downgrader tool.
You could try something else. Unlock your bootloader using the HTC Dev site :http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader, and then try installing a custom recovery.

I've unlocked the bootloader (although obviously I'm still S-ON and HBOOT 1.03), so how would I go about installing a custom recovery?
Everything I can find online implies I need to do it starting with the phone up and running...
Thanks

You download this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28277117
You extract the recovery.img from it.
You then use fastboot to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

That worked spot on! Have you got anything you'd recommend I put on there now? (factory reset didn't do anything, didn't really expect it to)
I tried cyangenmod7 for the desire, but with no luck. File 'BAD' or somethign when tried to read it from the SD card.

Try a MildWild ROM. Maybe the CM7 download was somehow faulty.

Can ya post the link to the thread and not just post the PB99IMG file? Thanks

You're getting good at this
So, that's on and working, but it's still locked to the carrier, o2. I've just tried 'HTC Desire unlock v0.9.5' but that didn't work (despite the program telling me it went flawlessly).
Any more suggestions?

Try using a different USB port.

Nope, nada. I tried v0.94 too. Nothing again. I guess I'll need to get a key. Damn that hboot 1.03!
At least the phone is actually WORKING now though, thanks to you, appreciated.
