Hi guys,
I have a problem where I am trying to flash a rom by placing PB99IMG.zip in the root of my SD card and booting into HBOOT.
HBOOT checks for all the standard files but skips the PB99IMG.zip I loaded as if it wasn't there.
Does anyone know why this could be happening?
I tried different zips, ones I downloaded directly from shipped roms and another one I extracted from an RUU. None of them seem to be recognized, they all get ignored.
Which RUU did you get the ZIP from? And have you called it PB99IMG.zip (not .zip.zip)?
The SD card ur using is it a goldcard
The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait
I tried these ones:
RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Telstra_WWE_2.26.841.2_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_150162_signed.exe
The later one was downloaded straight from the HTC website, after inserting my IMEI number so it's official.
I also tried to make a gold card but it still didn't work. I am also rooted so I shouldn't need a goldcard anyway?
Does the HBOOT on the phone (currently 0.93) have to be the same version as the HBOOT that the zip is expecting?
Found this somewhere else, xda is being funny at my end else i'd reference it properly and give credit where its due.
You can extract the ROM.zip from any RUU to install via ZIP
Start the RUU and once at the first main screen click Start>Run and type
%temp%
now, find the newest folder and in there will be a ZIP file called Rom - copy this to your desktop and rename it PB99IMG. Now copy this to your SD card and start the phone in HBOOT (turn it on whilst holding volume down). It will find the file and start the update. Just follow the instructions...
It will wipe your phone, though

Hello Yoda,
What you describe is exactly what I did. I renamed the rom.zip file I found in the temp folder to PB99IMG.zip (not ...zip.zip).
I booted into HBOOT but the file just gets ignored. I also installed alpharev custom HBOOT to see if S-OFF would make any difference. It still gets ignored!!
Can anyone help?
If not, is there any way to downgrade HBOOT (say from 0.93 to 0.92) without using PB99IMG.zip?
I had same problem with HBOOT 0.93
You need to downgrade to stock Hboot.
I used this tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Follow the instructions ( my phone was not branded , worked for me without a gold card ) , downgrade , after that unrevoked3 , alpharev = S-off Desire
Hi aditirex,
I tried tool you mentioned. I ran the linux version. Everything looked promising, I got no errors but the downgrade didn't happen. I still have HBOOT 0.93 when I rebooted.
Does anyone else know any ways to downgrade HBOOT without using PG99IMG.zip?
(I even tried to format with FAT32 using a card reader, and then the goldcard tool - still nothing)
Anyone? Please?
I really need to get this done to claim my warranty.
I read in another post that you can flash HBOOT using the android SDK:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
But I'm guessing this is an image saved by a nandroid backup.
Does anyone know if I can obtain the img file from PB99IMG.zip?

Hi!
After intalling the InsertCoin CM7 with Sense2.1+3.0 GB, and rebooting my htc desire i got stuck in the Home Screen, without any icons and the touchscreen was not working at all!!
Before that i had one Rom for 8 months and with this change i cannot have access to my mobile.
Now i just want to go back to stock to start the proccess over.
Does anyone can help me??? Please!!!
Some info:
I bought my htc desire in France, 07/2010, from Orange, and made a goldcard.
In HBOOT screen:
Bravo Unknown Ship S-ON
HBOOT - 0.75.0000
Microp - 031d

Can you turn phone off? If not take out the battery and reboot into recovery and restore nandroid backup if you made one. No need to revert to stock you can just go back to your previous good ROM.

Well... When I go to the recovery mode i got a red triangle... and cannot install any zip file, just update.zip.
try unrooting with RUU
Where I can find these RUU to unroot my phone?
And how I choose the right RUU to use?
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo All* RUU's available are here, you should match the RUU as best you can to your network or region. If your phone is unbranded try the latest WWE RUU.
*I think
EDIT: didn't see any Orange RUU's there (Just OTA updates). I'm not really the biggest expert/ fan of unrooting/ using RUU's. Lol someone else get in on this.
Yep! You are right there's no Orange RUU.
And I tried those RUU:
- RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed
- RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
- RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684
- RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704
- RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_FR_1.21.163.2_Radio_32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2_release_126985_signed
Until now none of them has worked. I got always the same Error 131, costumer ID error.
I also tried the OTA_Bravrange_CH-FR_2.22.71.2-1.19.72.3_P_release8xcr7nx2a68060l7, rename the file to update.zip and install in recovery mode, but it didn't work.
I will keep trying those RUU... But it doesn't seems to work...
What else can i do??
emm.. you could try extracting the rom.zip and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip and placing it in the root of your sdcard.. but I'd get some more advice first, unrooting & using RUUs isn't exactly my specialty.
Get the latest WWE RUU (you'll need to find out which one this is I don't know)
To get the rom.zip (would post the guide but I can't find it)
1. run the RUU and don't click next, just leave it on the first screen (put it to the side somewhere since it's always on top and will get annoying).
2. Go to start and click "run", or press the windows key and "R". In the dialog box type in "%temp%" (without quote).
3. sort using date (if you hit the little down arror, and select "Today" it makes your job a lot easier), and one of the temp folders will contain all the android stuff, and the file you are looking for is called rom.zip
4. grab the file and put it somewhere where you can remember, rename to PB99IMG.zip (make sure you don't name it PB99IMG.zip.zip since windows does that sometimes for some reason)
5. Put in the root of your sdcard, and boot into bootloader. You will be prompted to install.
But again before you do this get someone elses opinion on this. I don't want to be responsible if something goes wrong.
Thanks for helping bortak!
In the end, i just found my Goldcard, put it in my mobile and used the last WWE RUU.
And everything is fine now!
Thanks again man!

Okay well good to know you managed to get it fixed
First off, I know there are a lot of posts with this problem. Mine seems to be slightly different or I'm just stupid. (Probably the latter) Anyway, Desire HD stuck at hboot. S-OFF, cant get into recover either. SD card is blank. Here is what it says at the screen.
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
and a date.
Also, I usually pay people to root my phone but I cant do it this time around. I updated the ROM and now this. Please help! I can pay you if you can figure it out.
Thank you so much
Are there no options or text below the date? It should say "HBOOT" or "FASTBOOT" and present a small menu of coloured text options.
Also, what ROM did you update before this happened?
It would be good to know exactly what steps led to your problem before suggesting how to fix this. Try to give as much detail as you can.
It says Hboot. and yes, has the options below. The last update was for Cyanogen 7.0 but didnt like it. I went to go back and just recover the back up of what I had because I liked what was on there and yeah, didnt work out so well. Got to love your friends. lol
I have tried bortaks troubleshooting guide and flash a new recovery using android flasher but that doesnt seem to be working either. When I go to recovery, its just sticks me to the splash screen and wont do nothing.
Firstly, as long as you have a working bootloader, your phone isn't bricked and can be recovered.
Well it seems you are Radio S-Off (Ship S-Off), but you also need Eng S-Off to flash a recovery from the command line using fastboot.exe. I'm pretty sure danward's Android Flasher uses fastboot, so I'm not surprised it didn't work.
What to do next depends on whether you can get access to your sdcard from your PC. If you can - with a card reader in the PC, or another phone to put the card in and connect via USB - then go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Download the stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM from Section 1 and put it on the root of your SD card. Then put the card back in your DHD, and reboot into the bootloader.
It should recognise the PD98IMG.zip file and ask if you want to flash it, press Volume Up to confirm. This will put the stock 1.32.405.6 HTC ROM on your phone - this is an early shipped HTC firmware and it's the easiest version to root.
Edit: Note this file and the RUU below are for a Desire HD, and I don't think they will work on an Inspire - see later in the thread for some links to Inspire files.
Once it's flashed, it will replace everything - ROM, Recovery, radio - with the stock versions so you'll need to use the hack kit again, but you should still have Radio S-Off. Also remove the PD98IMG.zip file from your SD card when done, otherwise each time you go into the bootloader it will ask if you want to flash it.
If for any reason you can't get the PD98IMG.zip onto your SD card, you could try running an RUU (Rom Update Utility), this is the official HTC firmware in an EXE file you run from your PC. Plug your phone in via the USB cable and run the RUU file. You can find them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19101263#post19101263
The 1.32 version isn't there, so I would go for the next oldest WWE version (WWE = world wide edition, i.e. not carrier-branded)
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe
If that runs, it will do the same as the PD98IMG.zip, i.e. put your phone back to stock HTC firmware, but once again you will retain Radio S-Off.
I don't know much about the Ace Hack Kit as I rooted my phone before it came out, but I'm pretty sure that it will root either of those two versions of the stock firmware just fine. Good luck!
I downloaded it 3 times from 2 different sources, put it on my sd card, still nothing. Am I doing anything wrong?
Is you USB cable still connected? If it is, the bootloader will go into FASTBOOT mode, and you need to be in HBOOT mode. What does it say under the date, fastboot or hboot?
If it says fastboot, just pull the USB cable out and reboot the phone.
Otherwise I'm not sure why it's not working.
I tried both ways. hboot and fast boot. All you need to do is start the phone up on h boot right? It runs through those codes looking for it and says not found on all 4 of them.

This is probably a stupid question, but it is definitely a Desire HD, right?
What file names does it say it's looking for when it runs through the codes, does it definitely say PD98DIAG and PD98IMG?
Maybe try the RUU method instead?
Inspire from ATT, same thing right? Its says
sd checking....
loading....[PD98DIAG.zip]
No Image
Loading....[PD98DIAG.nbh]
No Image or Wrong Image
Loading....[PD98img.zip]
No Image
Loading......[PD98img.nbh]
No Image or wrong image.
I would try the other method but I cant find android 1.0 usb driver that it apparently needs. It will still flash though for some reason. What do you think?
The file is definitely called PD98IMG.zip and is on the root of your sd card?
Edit: Any drivers should be installed when you install HTC Sync on your PC, if you haven't done this already get it here:
http://www.htc.com/www/help/
PD98IMG is the file name and its a compressed file so that would make .zip. correct? I have nothing else on the sd card, just that.
Hmm, do you know how to turn on filename extensions in Windows?
For Win7, go to My Computer, Organize menu, then Folder & Search Options. Click on to the View tab and un-tick "Hide extensions for known file types".
Then check the filename again and make sure it ends .zip, and not .rar or something else. Some browsers can change the file name when downloading zip files.
Weird, though. I've just tried a PD98IMG.zip on my phone to check my instructions and it should be okay. I'm not so familiar with the Inspire, but if it's looking for a PD98IMG.zip you should be fine. I think the main difference is in sound files, but the ROMs are otherwise the same.
I checked it. Yes, it is named exactly that. I wonder why it wont run?
I think it's because it's an Inspire. Inside the PD98IMG.zip is a file called android-info.txt, and the first line of that is
Code:
modelid: PD9810000
The model ID for the Inspire is (I think) PD9812000. So it's not recognising the zip as valid.
You'll need a PD98IMG.zip specifically for an Inspire. Maybe check the Inspire forums? Although the phones are very similar they're not 100% the same, and folks there might know which file you need, or where to find the right RUU. Sorry, I didn't realise the PD98IMG file would need to be different.
You might just be able to replace the android-info.txt file inside the zip with one from an Inspire, not sure if that would work though.
Edit: Also, for the RUU you probably need the US-specific file, which is RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.14
Edit2: Found this PD98IMG.zip which is for an Inspire, it's the same 1.80.502.3 version mentioned above.
http://www.multiupload.com/JELMZNSKDF
I think I found the file for the Inspire. I'm going to try that next. As far as that last post, That is way over my head, lol.
Good luck! The file linked above at the multiupload address is definitely an Inspire version, so try that if the one you found doesn't work. I'm off now but will check this thread again in the morning just in case.
Thank you so much for your help. I'll post and tell you what happened
Happened to me once, if push comes to shove down load stock Rom from dev section. It is an .exe file that will restore your DHD back to stock from h-boot u will have to root your phone again though ! Good luck
Sent from my Desire HD RCMix 4.0
I was doing a first-time root. CWM installed OK. Then I did something TOTALLY STUPID...and the end result is perm. Splash screen.
On normal power-up, it's stuck on Splash screen white backgound with green "HTC".
It won't go any further.
Tried Recovery but didn't do BACK-UP!! I don't have access to another phone that supports micro-SD, to transfer the file to SD, insert in HTC and use it with Recovery CWM that way?? (Guessing)
I don't know any fastboot/ recovery commands for cmd prompt to send new ROM to the phone.

Yes, in Recovery>Mounts & Storage, there is an option to mountSD.
I didn't see what this would do. BUT I did mounted the SD, re-ran Marvel.exe- in both Recovery AND normal power on Splash screen.
But I still got the same error message as before: "USB CONNECTION FAILED".
I think I need a command that works in cmd like the one on the Unlock BootLoader stage: e.g. the two-fold cd \Android & \Android>fastboot oem get_ etc.

Tried to install ROM from zip:
I got:
E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip
(status 0)
Any ideas what happened?
Spent the evening/night trying a few different things.
Tried a different ROM, on a different SD Card- so as not to jeopardize the copy I have.
So I download, via the Galaxy S4,:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe from
www.androidruu.com/?developer=Marvel_MarvelC[/url]
Put the card in the HTC & the download was not listed on the SDCard!
It's definitely there- rechecked it in the S4!
I thought maybe the Wildfire could not see it for some reason so made a folder with the S4, called it Xda & copied the file into it.
So there are now two copies- #1 directly on the card & #2 in the new Xda folder.
I put the card back in the HTC Wildfire & yet again neither were showing. #1 still did not show & although the Xda folder WAS there, the phone read it as having no files!!
So, I thought there might be a problem with either the card OR the downloaded file.
SO....
I got the original SD Card that has the marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip on it, that failed to load earlier, & I downloaded:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe from shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Marvel
Once again, when I put the SD Card into the Wildfire- NOTHING. No file, yet, according to the S4 it's there- right above the marvel from earlier.
Strange? I can not work it out. There is no dot/ full stop before the name on either download on either SD card- a method to hide files apparently on the S4.
At least I've got one working? copy from earlier but THAT still returns the message:
E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip (status 0)
Have not found a direct PC to phone method yet either.

Hi,
AFAIK, you will not be able to flash an .exe file from the SD card, there were meant to be used on a PC for flashing through the USB cable, so you will only be able to flash .zip files from the SD card.
The E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip (status 0) error is usually associated with a bad META-INF folder inside the zip file, meaning that either the signature file is corrupted, there is something wrong in the any of the files inside this folder, or just the whole zip file is corrupted. CWM is preventing you from doing something wrong.
Try to download and flash the file again, wait for more answers and, as a last resort, try with a different zip file (search for exactly the same rom) or another version in the thread that @csoulr666 posted (options 1 or 2).
Regards.
Still looking for an answer to my USB issue. In the meantime I tried 1 of uk_yo tachibana's suggestions
Downloaded a fresh copy of marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip & clicked install zip from SD card.
This time I got:
--Installing: /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
The handset has been like this since around 10.05 am. I was expecting something else to happen by now (3 hours + later)
I will leave it a while longer, before I try another file.
I assume it has crashed again?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I've been trying various downloads & ways, yesterday and today. Read umpteen threads & websites.
I've tried multiple downloads of the files. I've used two SD Cards (to verify that SD was not an issue). Also, used both with all files via 2 browsers- Chrome & FireFox, as 1 thread I read recommended that the questionair tries downloading the files with another browser; as either the files are corrupt or the download was- as they too kept getting the "Installation aborted (Status 0)" error.
example of what I keep getting:
Insert SDcard to WildfireS. HBOOT>Recovery
(every time) I do the four wipes...
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition completed
(Advanced)
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
+++++Go Back+++++
Then I click:
- Install zip from sdcard
My options
- choose zip from sdcard
- apply /sdcard/update.zip
- toggle signiture verification
- toggle script asserts
-+++++Go Back+++++
I click:
- choose zip from sdcard
I get my list of files/folders on sdcard
I choose:
(example) marvel_signed_021213_015156.zip
the handset then starts:
--Installing: /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_015156.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...

and also:
marvel_perfect_stock.zip
from: [ROM][STOCK 2.3.5]marvel perfectly stock rom... not even rooted!!! by member rjshrjndrn
Even though, later in the thread, the OP says it's not flashable from SD Card as it isn't .img & says renaming is not an option. Just thought I would give it a shot!
I'm looking into "how to rip a PG76IMG off from %temp%"?.
(a) Not sure how to do this yet
(b) If it will even work
HOWEVER, marvel_perfect_stock.zip SHOULD work as is; as a zip- so I put a copy in my PC folder (with the rest of my files-fastboot, adb, cwm etc.).
I just don't know how to use it- there must be some kind of cmd prompt instruction, but it is not listed.
Still can not get past the Marvel_RUU wizard's error from earlier yet, either!
Thanks.
Hello.
On the SD Card side of things, I have read threads that suggest, after multiple downloads [even through different browsers] of a file still return the (Status 0)/ (bad)- that maybe my cwm version needs updating, in order to push the chosen file through.
After doing a "Google search" for cwm for wildfire s download, I got two main options:
1) clockworkmod.com/rommanager BUT, this only offers ver: 5.0.2.8 which is already the one I have.
2) code.google.com/p/cm9-wildfire-s/downloads/detail?name...cwm...THIS gives me a download: Unoffical ClockworkMod v6.0.0.7 Recovery for Marvel.
The file is PG76IMG-cwm-6.0.0.7-UNOFFICIAL-marvel.zip 4.5 MB. [You need to rename it to PG76IMG.zip and copy it to your SD card.]
Now I have already downloaded it [via Firefox on Galaxy S4, renamed as instructed & put on SD]
I JUST HAVE NOT installed/ ran it yet on the Wildfire S as I'm unsure if it's safe to do so OR even if I SHOULD mess around further with the handset/ WORKING Recovery [esp. as the file states UNOFFICIAL CwM]!
Any thoughts on this, as I'm running out of options for solutions?
Thanks.
Aaaah NEARLY!!!!!!!

Try using a zip extracted from an RUU
1. First download and run an RUU on your computer(the latest one you can find)
2. After the first window pops up, close it
3. Then in "Run" type "%temp%"
4. In there find a file named "ROM.zip"
5. Rename it to "PG76IMG.zip"
6. Put it on the root of the SDcard(no folders)
7. Now boot into the bootloader
8. It will check and ask you to flash the file, press the Vol up button
9. And you'll get a completely stock rom
Do make sure that your bootloader is Relocked when you do this, you can unlock it using the same unlock code

I've just spotted the reply, thank you for the advice csoulr666.
Yes I will do this now & let you know how I get on.
Again, thanks.
Thanks again to csoulr666.
Followed the instructions to the letter.
After powering on in HBOOT, the handset automatically began "checking...PG76IMG.zip". A load-bar appeared at the top-righthand corner of the screen. When checking completed, I got:
Main Version is older!
Update fail!
Press <power> to reboot.
Now, I extracted from RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe-
as the stats for my software were ROM: 2.26.401.3 & Radio 7.57.39.10M.
A perfect match. So what is this "Main Version is older" referring to?
I am a little confused.
Thanks.

Try using one that is newer than your current version
Thank you to csoulr666 for the advice. I apologise for the delay in responding (as I saw this at 9am). I have spent the day (& most of last night ) on Google, reading umpteen threads-
"googling": ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR/ The ROM Update cannot update your Android phone/ Main Version is older/ ruu could not update my rom version/ latest stock rom for wildfire s/ htc wildfire s newest update/ original stock rom for htc wildfire s/ stock roms for wildfire s/ HTC Wildfire S Software newer than 2.26.401.3/ update from 2.26.401.3/ update android 2.3 6/ download android 2.3 6 for htc wildfire s.
The latest RUU IS 2.26.401.3. That is the one I am using, both as RUU, & to extract the ROM to .zip. I can not find ANY NEWER RUU.
I am unclear as to what "Try using one that is newer than your current version" referrs to, sorry; so I could only reason that it must be the Android version.
As the RUU is the latest- 2.26, it should surely contain ver:2.3.5. If it's not, which the error messge implies it's not?, I'm not sure how to check the Android version contained within nor how to replace it as I can not find a seperate 2.3.5 file. I can not find an Android 2.3.5 file download, nor how to update an RUU in .exe form or an independant ROM .zip ripped from it, .
I am now really stuck & fresh out of ideas.
Thanks

Did you get this sorted?
I too had the same problems as you. I am on the same HBOOT and radio and my Cid is O2__001 (UK) and all the errors you encountered were the same for me.
I got it working tonight by creating a GOLDCARD SD card (search XDA/Google for it and use Youtube to find out how to create one) and using the Rom extracted from the latest RUU 2.26.401.3.
Now im totally stock.
If you need anymore help PM me.

Sorry mate, I no longer have this phone. Did u try the steps I took?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Hi everybody, first of all many thanks for a great forum. I have found it very useful in the past and never needed to seek help, but this time I am stumped and although I read pretty well all the threads on the subject I have not been able to solve my problem and I fear I have a paper weight on my hands.
My Desire does not boot up and stays on the HTC logo on a white screen for ever. This happened after a stupid and unresearched attempt to downgrade my Hboot from 1.03 to earlier ones with RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.20.771.3_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124822.exe.
The process worked fine but my Desire never managed to reboot and got stuck on the opening logo.
I can go into HBOOT USB PLUG and I can charge the battery (the led comes on and eventually goes green). The HBoot screen reads:
LOCKED (00W)
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 1.03.0003
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO - 4.05.00.11
Date 21 2011 - 20:44:09
I can do FASTBOOT DEVICES and get
HT06XPL00452 fastboot
but any other operation with fastboot always gives me:
FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes)
Does anybody know what this means?
I also tried:
** to rerun the official RUU but I get a clearly wrong message saying that the battery is below 30% charge and the program stops.
** several other RUUs with same result except RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_29_405_5_Radio_32_49_00_32U_5_11_05_27_release_159811_signed.exe which leads to ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR. I know the USB Hboot drivers are ok and are those I downloaded from XDA. Device manager shows "Android composire interface"
** select RECOVERY but it goes immediately into the white screen aith HTC logo and gets stuck
** select CLEAN STORAGE . When I answer "Yes to Delete all user data?" it confirms "clear..." and then gets stuck on the log screen
** select SIMLOCK and get
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Has anybody got any other ideas? Should I just give up and use it as paperweight?
Tried the 2.3.3 WWW RUU? Download it from shippedroms
research and use the PB88IMG.zip method, bortak's troubleshooting guide.

Many thanks eddiehk. The RUUs I had tried before came from shippedroms.com too but I cannot find any for the Desire (nor for the Bravo) with 2.3.3 nor WWW in their name. Do you have a specific link? I have just tried yet another one for luck but got the same result as before "battery less then 30%" which is not!:crying:
The PB88IMG.zip method cannot work for me as I cannot get to write to the system nor the sdcard as the phone does not boot up. I have read a bortak's guide, but it seem to be only for S-OFF setups and it also seems to be only for rooted phones. Mine is not rooted and it has S-ON.
Any other ides anybody?

"HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip" at the bottom
I meant "PB99IMG.zip" method sorry. It should and will work. It does not require the phone to be booted up. It only requires you to copy it to the root of the sdcard (use a card reader). Then boot into bootloader (volume down + power), wait a few seconds, then accept. All in the guide
Or search how to downgrade hboot 1.03 in these forums, I've seen it successfully done on a few occasions.

Many thanks again. Unfortunately I got no further. I downloaded the PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTCCN_CHS_CU_2.35.1402.5_Radio_32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17_release_163341_signed.zip file from the url you indicated. There were several PB99IMG... and picked one at random. None had the same radio as what was indicated on my Hboot screen by the way. Anyway given the lack of success I suspect it wouldn't have made any difference which one I picked. I then copied it to the root of the sd card using my PC and kept my fingers firmly crossed when I went into bootloader. After a brief moment I saw a subliminal message about checking something but could not read the rest. It then went back to the now very boring Hboot screen with the normal commands "fastboot;recovery;clear storage and simlock".:crying:
Then I tried to use the Universal Android AIO flasher and could see some messages. Trying to flash something in fastboot mode always gave this message:
"(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"
It does look like something is very screwed up on the internal card and might need a total reformatting. Is it possible or am I barking at the wrong tree?
LATEST UPDATE
OK, I am officially an idiot.
The reason why the .zip file did not work was that I had not changed its name to PB99IMG.ZIP. I did that and hey presto got it to reload the firmware,
As I ended up with a Chinese carrier version I would now like to change it again to a European version preferably a no carrier version. How can I find out which version to pick and which one is the latest version on the ShippedRom site?
In the meantime many many many thanks for all the help. It is so great to have this forum to help all the newbies like me.
@marco_bruzzone
You got a Chinese ROM version because you ignored my advice......
You get the "European version preferably no carrier version" by actually reading my previous post..................
I even quoted the name and location of the correct RUU to use..............

I am sorry for being dim, I reread your earlier posting and finally understood it. I will now try the correct .zip file. Thanks again
