UNABLE TO BOOT TO RECOVERY/ S-ON /STUCKED ON HTC LOGO WHITE SCREEN (Please HELP!)

Hi,
I don't really know where to start and have no idea what actually causes the issue, please just bare with me guys as I badly need your help.
Here's the thing;
My Phone was rooted way back using unrevoked method (as far as I remember)
> Radio was upgraded to the latest (afaik)
> I have created a cheap generic GoldCard with Ext2 & 3 which is kind of slow and so I decided to try different kinds of Custom ROM.
> I recently installed GingerVillain (GingerBread2.3.4).
> I enabled apps to sd for protected apps using the Terminal I downloaded from Market.
> I was on the process of moving apps to sd (including those when it suddenly started bootlooping. After 4x of loops, I decided to remove the battery. From there I know something went wrong.
> I normally would just go to clockwork recovery and do the reinstallation process in rectifying such issue, but to my surprise I was not able to boot into recovery as well and stucked in Fastboot & Hboot and if I try to boot normally, then it will be up to HTC logo only.
> I also noticed that security flag was turned on (S-ON) wherein it was turned off when I bought it and still Off after I rooted using unrevoked method.
> When I checked the SD it was corrupted already and had to format & repartition it using Ubuntu's Gparted Partition Utility. (I bought a new one as a replacement but was unable to make it a GoldCard as it probably requires that it is inside your phone and running in OS)
>> Did some research for few days and here's what I've tried so far. <<
- Tried to use AlphaRev to turn off the security but was unsuccessful since it requires that you have to be inside the OS (ROM) which is not possible at the moment.
- Tried to use RUU to just unroot it and get back to zero but still unsuccessful, it encountered USB Connection Error....many times.
- Tried getting the rom.zip inside RUU and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip, loaded it using hboot but still unsuccessful, it says CID Incorrect! Update Fail.
- I read that downgrading Hboot would most likely resolve the issue but I really have no idea how to do it, no clear steps are roaming out there upon doing my research.
- Some says, you can push the ClockWork using ADB but doing it actually fails....Error....and no clear steps.
I don't really know what kind of issue(s) I am facing now guys.
I am totally on the edge of my seat.
I must have been missing something along the way...(I know I am)
If somebody would be helpful enough to point & show the way in resolving this issue, that would be greatly appreciated (step by step maybe).
These are the details in my Hboot UI that would hopefully helps (if that will make sense).

{UPDATE......ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED...Read my post down....}

If you do not have a goldcard you must find an RUU specifically for your phone. I'm on Vodafone UK and it appears there are a couple of Vod UK RUUs out there but only one of them would flash correctly. The others left me in a state like yours.
Persevere I believe all is not lost.

So Sorry for the long delay...been busy and Sick these past days...
Ok here goes.
The steps will be assuming that we have "Exactly" the same issue so if ever along the way you think that something might have gone different then I suggest you discontinue following the steps as you might end up with a Totally Bricked Desire. (which I am not liable of )
Credits to the people who created ALL steps I have copied and pasted in here!
Here's what I did in my case;
(**Make sure your unit is totally charged up)
Step 1:
Downgrade Hboot & Unroot (restore shipped ROM) your device;
- Get the latest RUU for your region (make sure it is for your region) from Shipped Roms. (remember to check the md5 sum, we don't want to download a corrupted file )
- Run the RUU as administrator.
- When it gets to the portion of asking you to plugged in the device,, click Start and type %temp% in the search box, it will come up with a folder named Temp,,Open it.
- Using the search bar (again) in the temp folder that we just opened, type in rom.zip when you see rom.zip, move it to desktop or anywhere you like, then you can cancel the opened RUU process.
- Create GoldCard (other threads doesn't suggest to use a GoldCard YET as the ROM will run even without a GoldCard, but in my case...Ordinary SD Card doesn't work for me at all leaving me in creating a GoldCard). Format the SD Card to FAT32 afterwards.
- Rename the rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip
- Copy it to the SD Card root
- Boot to Hboot (Vol- plus Power)
- Hboot will then detect the zip and will load it up, Wait for few minutes and grab a cup of coffee .
- When it finds PB99IMG.zip, it starts to load it;
It gives the next options after few minutes from the initial key press of Vol- and Power key.
Parsing………………….[SD zip]
1. Bootloader
2. Radio V2
3. Radio_Cust
4. Boot
5. Recovery
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
Do you want to update device?
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No
and so we would want to choose Yes
During the Process, it will reboot and will reload PB99IMG.zip again and will continue with its process....if ever you got stucked into HTC screen again after it reboots during the process, you can pretty much remove the battery then boot to Hboot again and it will continue with its thing.
If it asks for a reboot, choose Yes.
If you pressed Yes, then:
Update is in progress..
Do not power off your device.
1. Bootloader -OK
2. Radio V2 -OK
3. Radio_Cust -OK
4. Boot -OK
5. Recovery-Unzipping/Updating
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
If it asks for a reboot again, choose Yes.
On rebooting, HTC screen shows up for a few seconds.
Then a green Down arrow in a green circle shows up for another 5-6 seconds.
Then, HTC screen again.
Finally, HTC screen disappears and the HTC Quietly brilliant logo shows.
Your device now boots into the Android phone.
DONE with Step 1...your phone is now unrooted, Hboot downgraded and is back into its Shipped State.
**If you encountered error during the initial loading of PB99IMG then chances are the ROM you downloaded might not be the one for your device, remember that the ROM vary from region to region so you must make sure you have downloaded the right one....
Step 2:
S-Off your device
- AlphaRev will guide you here
**no need to NANDROID since you don't have anything to...
**This thing will actually install its customized CWM Recovery which you'll find it COOL......& will also upgrade your Hboot again
Step 3:
It's time to ROOT your phone again.
- Use Unrevoked Method,,,the EASIEST way as far as I know.
Step 4:
Flash a custom ROM....I'm pretty sure you know how to do it.
I suggest flashing GingerVillain 2.7 [GingerBread 2.3.4] (not 2.8,,,still BETA I think)
- Make use of AlphaRev's Customized CWM Recovery.....in my case I partitioned the SD Card using AlphaRev's Customized CWM Recovery instead of using Linux's Gparted Utility (choose 2gb of partition if you have a bigger SD Card Space and 512mb of swapping)
- In making sure everything will work well...I did the following things;
>> Restart CWM after formatting and partitioning the SD Card.
>> Resatrt CWM after wiping.
>> Restart CWM after copying the custom ROM to SD Card.
DONE...The Rest is up to you.
To Moderators and Geeks in here......please correct any steps I have provided in here if you find it a bit OFF so as to help others who have encountered same issue as I had.....Thanks.
CREDITS TO ALL HARDWORKING PEOPLE AT XDA WHO TOOK THE TIME AND INITIATIVE TO POST ALL STEPS POSSIBLE IN RESOLVING SUCH ISSUES....
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.
Edit:
I have learned that buying Cheap and Crappy Sd Card will not actually save you money but will further make your day worst.........so my suggestion is to buy the BEST one......just think of it as an investment (LOL!)

Comments?? Anyone???

unbricking an Wildfire? AKA stuck at fastboot

Hi All
Sorry if this has been resolved before but I can't see the solution.
I have just got hold of an HTC Wildfire that's stuck on Fastboot:
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.007
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-3.35.15.31
Aug 9 2010,22:37:43
Lets assume its never been rooted - what are my options
Currently none of the buttons work in Fastboot.
When I hold the power and volume down it enters HBOOT but as before non of the buttons or touch sensor works, tho if I plug in the usb cable it changes to HBOOT USB PLUG.
Any ideas on how I can bring it back to life?
TiA
I.

I am definitely lost here. I have no idea what you mean by "Stuck at Fastboot". Fastboot is a special mode enabled when you S-OFF the device using AlphaRev / Revolutionary, which allows special Fastboot commands, previously only allowed on engineering sample devices and developer devices. AFAIK, there is no such thing as "Fastboot" on a never rooted HTC Wildfire.
Anyway, it seems everything is in order (Because, I dont know what happens when you are trying to turn on the phone normally). But, note that when in HBOOT mode, you have to wait a while for the phone to scan through the sdcard for PC49IMG files. Once the scan is over, only then you can navigate through it. Also, navigation is achieved using the side volume buttons, and, to select an entity, use the power button. No other button, and the touch will not respond in the HBOOT Mode, and it is normal.
Now, assuming your device is not booting, try installing the Stock ROM over it again, but since installing an RUU will not be possible since the device is not booting, you will have to extract the ROM.zip from one.
- Download the Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1 RUU from here - (It is an EXE File) - http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
- Extract the ROM.zip file from the RUU. Follow this method (Assuming you have a Windows PC) http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
- Once you have that file, rename it to PC49IMG.zip, place on your SDCard, then reboot in HBOOT mode. It will attempt to install the ROM itself. Remember again, only use the Power button to select stuff in HBOOT mode, and side volume keys to navigate.

Thanks for the reply: Sorry I failed to report that the device jumps straight to HBOOT from power on. Downloading the required files I'll do an update once the steps have been followed.

UPDATE:
Loading PC49IMG.zip
Checking PC49IMG.zip
CID incorrect!
Update FAIL!
Press <POWER> to reboot.

It's going to need a Goldcard in that case. Create one using this guide:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
Alternately, use this GUI App to that:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/308798-pc-application-goldcardtool/

Thanks but correct me if I am wrong but don't you need to have a working Wildfire to generate a Gold card? (debug mode on)

Got an interesting update,
As I'm getting CID error's I'm guessing its down to the phone being a branded model.
Looking at the Phone, I ruled out Orange and Virgin as they usually plaster their logo all over the the phone.
Did I few keyword searches with keywords from the Part number and other digits on the box.
It started to look like a H3G (Three) Phone.
Using the link above I downloaded:
RUU_Buzz_H3G_UK_1.16.771.2_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_131501_signed.exe (Eclair version)
Followed the steps and above and it gave me the following error:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
So success! (well sort off). does anyone have a H3G (Three) UK signed Froyo image (exe) RUU?
Thanks
I.

There is an OTA update.zip available for H3G UK. Look for this file on Shipped ROMs:
OTA_Buzz_Froyo_H3G_UK_2.33.771.1-1.26.771.1_release_163490jq8do89dc3y83p6w.zip
Now, I am not 100% certain on how to install this, since I personally have never tried it, but, try this procedure nevertheless.
- Download that file
- Rename to update.zip
- Then, place it on your SDCard
- Reboot in HBOOT mode
- Navigate to RECOVERY in HBOOT Mode, Press Power button. This will show you a red triangle with an exclamation mark
- Now, Press VOL UP + POWER simultaneously, this should take you to the Stock Recovery
- Here, select apply SD:update.zip. It will again automatically attempt to update the ROM.

Again thanks for your help... I'm so close
Remember none of the keys are responsive even waiting for the timeout of the loading.
Also using a different method I've think I've created a goldcard. (If it works I'll post how I did it.)
What do I do once I have a goldcard?
What file should I be looking to install?

A generic WWE one in that case, (Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1 as I linked earlier, or, Eclair 1.37.405.1, both available as EXE's)
Remember though, Goldcards are device specific. But, the defective keys are indeed a problem. In such a case, I guess the only method that remains is the one I posted in post #2
Good Luck

FECK!
So if my goldcard was working, using the extraction rom.zip process in Step 2 it would override the CID incorrect issue, am I correct?
Currently I am still getting the same error message...
Back to the drawing board...

Yes, that is about correct. Also, some sdcards do not like being made into goldcards, so, if possible, try with another. (If even after retrying, it doesn't work)

Well I'm one step closer...
Created a Goldcard and I was able to install the ROM.zip it reported that it worked, however when I powered the unit back on it went straight back for fastboot....
:/

Are you sure it's an undamaged phone? Now it seems that it's sort of damaged. (Board / button damage). The RUU flash should have solved any software issues, because, as you verified, it did flash successfully.
BTW, can you tell me which RUU you flashed, and what do you get as the first few lines of HBoot? (Which initially was Buzz PVT SHIP S-ON, HBOOT 0.80.0007... etc)?

Checked all the buttons - seem to be ok, I can hear the micro switches clicking:
It has been updated:
HBOOT-1.01.0001
MICROP-0622
RADIO-3.35.20.10
Downloading SUnAaBh v1.1 will see if that will work.

You can't flash Sunaabh / Other ROM's using this method. Official one's only. The buttons may click, but, if they are not doing what they are intended to do, it's obviously damaged,

Hmm, ok can I force a clockworkmod flash?

It's going to need the S-OFF exploit by Revolutionary to push Clockworkmod Recovery, which I guess needs USB Debugging on.
http://revolutionary.io/

Well
Volume down and power button works - otherwise it would not have gone into HBOOT and Volume up button works otherwise I would not have been able to start the flash.
Def a strange one...

See if you can do a "Clear Storage" in HBoot, although it's not going to help, it's worth a shot IMO.
BTW, doesn't the phone automatically enter in HBoot when you turn on just using the Power key?

Unable to figure out HBOOT update process?

Rooted my desire way last year and have enjoyed using a number of roms since...
Yesterday I quick look at a couple of the ICS roms, which were nice but clearly not ready for primetime, so started to look at a more recently update gb rom to replace the update-oxygen-2.3.2-Bravo-signed.zip that I've been using.
The MildWild V-3.0 xperia Launcher & MildWild V-3.0A Launcher2 look liked a decent bet, but of course failed as I hadnt read through the whole post and failed to take into account "do a clean installing and please keep in mind the ROM is to big for the oxygen hboot use CM7r2 Hboot"
What is the process for updating the HBOOT?
Here is the steps I taken so far, but without much sucess
Jumped over to http://alpharev.nl/ and followed the precess there, booting into fastboot I now see:
--- AlphaRev ---

So I'm assuming that this is done correctly and I just have to now grab the required HOOT files and update - this is where I get a little lost
I have grabbed bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img.zip & PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip
renaming PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip to PB99IMG.zip, drop onto sdcard and started the phone in HBOOT to flash the HBOOT, but this gives me
CID incorrect!
Update Fail
Have doubled checked using a file manager that the isnt named PB99IMG.zip.zip as some suggest
and have tried to follow this post here but am at a complete loss with it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14668785&postcount=2575
installed the HTC USB Drivers
Installed the Android SDK Manager and have the Google USB Driver package, Android SDK & Platform Tools installed...
then boot into BOOTLOADER, connect phone... and ... no idea, not sure what my PC is supposed to do or if there is a console I can open must have missed something as I just cant seem to workout "Then you boot your phone into bootloader, connect it to your pc and select the downloaded hboot-drivers."
Am sure there is something just outta reach, any help appreciated

You're on the stock sized hboot, so you dont actually NEED to change it for any of these ROMS.
Best bet is using fastboot flash from your PC IMHO. Flash the .img file. Read the adb and fastboot faq in my signature (Skipping the ADB bit as this is nto relevant here)

Low Memory on Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition

Okay - i bet since my question is too easy to solve i will get facepalmed soon
So what am i using:
HTC DESIRE SLCD / S-OFF / Rooted / 32gb class 10 SD card (Samsung)
4EXT touch Recovery
Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition + ad2sdx-1.0-RC01
Whats my Problem:
Low internal memory even if there are 1,2 gb of free space ( apps start crashing / default browser wont open due to lack of internal memory... everything else works perfect)
The Problem doesnt appear instantly after flashing and installing.
So what i did:
1. looked in the FAQ from Runnymede Thread and used a cache cleaner
2. installing the ROM few more times
But it didn't help - thats why i am here
I guess i am making a mistake while installing the Rom
www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg
(cant post img or links because i am new here - tell me if it doesnt work)
because i cant select this option - i guess thats where I go wrong?
maybe its the wrong ROM I downloaded?
I cant help myself somehow.. thats why i am here
(i spent about 1 week trying everything that comes to my mind but it didnt help)
Thx 4 all work you have done and your support!
if this works out i am going to donate 10€

What is your hboot ? I guess it is stock hboot.
It should be at least CM7r2 in order ad2sdx to work properly as it needs a bigger data partition sise to mount as sd-ext. Your actual sd-ext will be mounted as data partition.
I can't open www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg to see what it is.

Yeah i have HBOOT 0.93.0001
okay gonna try fix that and then report my result

im having the same problem with my installation
i have the hboot from alpharev
the info is as follows
bravo pvt1 ship s-off
hboot- 0.93.0001
micicrop-031d
touch panel-synt0101
radio-5.17.05.23
aug 10 2010 17:52:18
and i have the same exact issue, i set my ext4 to abt 1.6gb and i cant get access to it at all

Alpharev made several HBOOTs, if you want to use AD2SDX make sure you flashed Bravo CM7 r2, you'll find it on their homepage.
I guess you guys both are currently using Bravo Stock HBOOT.
You can find out which HBOOT you are using (just to make sure) go into fastboot mode and look for the text in the pink box above the "BRAVO PVT xyz..."

Ok here we go again
I flashed Bravo CM7 r2 from alpharev.nl yesterday et voila - i had the ad2sdx option in the aroma installer.
(I had a screenshot on the the link nobody can see where it was missing)
Now the phone is working about 12 hours without any memory problems - of course it needed some time to settle down in the beginning, but that was mentioned in the runnymede threads before.
But i am still asking myself if i did too much now because...
I flashed Runnymede V6.0.4.1 with ad2sdx
Afterwards I immediately flashed ad2sdx-1.0-RC01 (amarullz)
Then i went for the Sense 3.5 Kernel from Droidzone
I bet i just needed to flash Runnymede since it comes with its own kernel (?) and has build-in ad2sdx?
Thx guys
Btw. kevearc how are you doin?

ad2sdx: You flashed the same thing twice, if you ckeck ad2sdx in the AROMA Installer, it will already be flashed automatically.
Kernel: The ROM comes with a build in Kernel by Droidzone, but you can flash newer ones.

Ahh btw.
I am looking for the sticky notes widget from stock ROM from android 2.2.
Just the one where you can draw/write and delete.
I dont need any memo or synchronisation and stuff.
So i looked " htc desire stock rom zip " to get the apk
or for " htc desire sticky notes " but didnt get what i was looking for.
I also tried to start the RUU installer and get the ROM.zip out of my temp folder but i didnt find it ( either in normal temp or windows\temp ).
Any idea? or is there a secret database hidden ?

Look at my signature..!

ok i guess, could u guide me as to how to perform the same procudere on my phone as u did yours?
i think my problem is that i didnt flash the Bravo cm7 thingy, lol
at the top of my bootloader screen, mine just says Alpharev in purple text

@kevearc: That means you are using Alpharev Stock HBOOT, go to their site and flash CM7r2. Instructions are given there.
@veljin: The easiest was to find the folder is to run ruu, open task manager, right-click adb.exe and select "open path" or something like that.
If you want to save time, just download the old Widget here

'or is there somthing else i need to do?

@WoH - thx :3
@kevearc
( only works with S-OFF !)
1. Download the Zip from Alpharev called PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip
2. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip
3. Put it on your SD Card
4. Start Bootloader with Power + Vol down
5. messages comes with " do you want to flash this blabla " -> go for it
6. delete File
7. Check if everything worked in the Bootloader Menu
8. Better reflash your ROM (maybe it works without that but i wont guarantee)

When you have CID error, you cannot update with sdcard procedure.
You need to flash it in fastboot mode or the easier way is search for Fastboot Commander and use this to flash the hboot.

thanx,
i tried tht, but FBC didnt detect the phone, even though i plugged it directly and the drivers are loaded

Did FbC / adb work before?
Maybe you could try to reinstall adb driver...

[Q] HTC Desire Bravo PVT1 badly bricked. Unrooted and S-ON

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
