What should i do ?

You should not get this error if you are truly on that version
Are you sure you are downloading this
http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
If it indeed gives you CID error than this wasn't your original firmware.
In that case make a goldcard and flash a generic WWE RUU or the Asian one again.

goldcard
I had exactly the same problem, but already rooted and had AmonRa recovery. My device is also a new PVT-4... luckily I had a goldcard, and did a nand backup.
I do not know of any solution, except Goldcard one, but hardly possible, since you cannot boot the device. if somehow you manage to get to your CID, look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7826990&postcount=8
Make sure u did everything right and it should work hope it helps

Dude, did you try booting the updated Alpharev CWM recovery through ADB ? Or if you can still enter fastboot, try unrevoked one more time, but this time with custom recovery (updated CWM). This should solve the MISC problem and allow you to flash custom ROMs.
Also, when in fastboot or recovery, did you try creating a goldcard, also through ADB?
If this doesn't help, i think it's time for warranty...

some one posted this solution will this work ?
got desprate while my friend Desire is semi bricked.
usb , wifi , ADB is not worked...constant reboot happened...
tried to flash almost RUU from http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/ without success
i knew my success key to solve this problem is creating goldcard to flash the RUU
I cannot get CID for goldcard...because ADB, wifi and usb not worked..only fastboot is worked
I tried to create goldcard using nexus one and my sdcard...
1.format my nexus sdcard using fat32 partitiion.
2.generate the reserve CID with goldcard helper (you can download it from market)
3.i am follow guide from http://www.droid-den.com/android-gui...te-a-gold-card
from step 12 to step 19 (using SDcard adapter with my pc)
4.put that goldcarded sdcard to the semi bricked desire
5. flash RUU rom you want....(please also do some research before you do this)
Sucesss!!

You clearly don't know wat your doing, you already might have bricked it by flashing your asia rom with a wwe rom, you can't flash it if you don't have a goldcard.

Read post before yours, he's fixed...lucky, mind

[Q] Unable to root..

First off, yes I know there are a bagillion threads on not being able to root, and I have spent hours looking through them and my issue isn't resolved, so hear me out.
I just got a Droid Incredible (has Froyo and an AMOLED screen) after my Droid 1 cracked its screen (easily rooted, btw), and tried rooting this with unrevoked 3.32 (newest from his site). I followed this explicit guide verbatim (here).
Unrevoked fails to root, install recovery, or turn off security, giving me the ERROR "Backup CID is Missing" that is mentioned in the guide, so I follow the linked instructions on how to manually flash a recovery image to the device (here)
After booting into hboot with the PC36IMG.zip file on my SD card, hboot scans and says no image or wrong image found for all four checks.
SUMMARY: I cannot flash a custom recovery, so cannot flash a ROM, so no root, and security is still enabled.
I tried using ADB to flash it manually following this, but I get the following error in cmd prompt
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4200 KB)... OKAY [ 0.606s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.183s
Some notes that people said to try:
- I have tried three SD cards that all work in my Droid 1
- I reformatted all of them to FAT32 to be sure
- I have tried two windows 7 computers with ADB and unrevoked
- I do not have HTC sync, but I tried installing it and uninstalling like the guide suggests
- I have removed all drivers and reinstalled the unrevoked once again
- I uninstalled Dropbox
- Debugging is enabled, as is everything else in the first guide
- I tried many PC36IMG.zip files (clockwork, RA, stock, different versions) (named them .zip, extracted .img, PC31, etc)
Help would be much appreciated because I am too used to root on my Droid 1!

You mention PC36IMG.zip more than once in your posting, so I assume it isn't a typo.
OTOH, no such file has anything to do with the Incredible. That's a filename for the EVO.
On the Incredible we have files called (or renamed to) PB31IMG.zip,

True, I was following an Incredible guide that sent me there. My bad, not used to dealing with this from my old phone. Thanks for pointing that out.
Well I tried the correct PB31IMG.zip files and the same thing happens in hboot. It says loading...all the zip files... checking... then goes away. Like this one for instance, I took the clockwork PB31IMG.zip. I never get prompted to install the zip.
If I go to recovery, I see a phone with a red triangle on it and the phone is frozen.

I'm in the same boat with my incredible replaement i just got, idk wtf is up with it. i wish i had a old unrevoke version before 3.2 cause i only flashed my last replacement a month ago without a hitch. can anyone pleasssssee upload the version before the one thats currently out for unrevoked so i can try it? It might just cure both of our issues.

do you have the correct modified hboot driver from unrevoked installed? you need to boot your phone into hboot and connect the usb cable let it install driver then go into device manager and maually change the driver to the one they provide... I have rooted 5 SLCD fresh out of box incredibles in the past 2 weeks with unrevoked with 0 issues...

My droid shows up fine, the entire process runs, my phone reboots into Hboot starts the rooting process it gets to the final step of flashing clockwork recovery and bam i get the error unable to validate :: Cid is missing, along those lines like was mentioned above.
I think the issue is on Unrevokeds side. i flashed my replacement before this not more then a month ago but deleted that version of unrevoked. if you have the older jan 8th version id love if you could upload it or upload your current version if its different please.

[Q] Desire Bricked?

Hey Guys,
Right I've been up all night trying to fix this but now I'm at the stage where I need your wisdom!
Problem:
Got a rooted, s-off'd HTC desire (originally on 3 UK running a 3 branded rom, rooted via goldcard method)
It was running Redux and the hboot I was using was CM7. I decided to change back to Oxygen, and proceeded to flash the Oxygen Hboot. I also flashed the latest version of Clockwork Mod Recovery. All was done through terminal in ubuntu using fastboot. I also erased cache, system and boot, before rebooting into recovery and flashing Oxygen. Seemed to install fine so I rebooted into Oxygen and it loaded up. During the setup process my phone informed me that it couldn't find a SIM card. Rebooted into recovery and wiped everything (including dalvik) and still the same problem persisted.
It was at this time I found out that I couldn't mount my SD card either (either in Oxygen or in recovery).
Followed the usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed method to resolve the SD card problem.
I used the OP's zip file attached, missed out step 1 and carried on from step 2 (used my Blackberry to get the update file on the SD card).
Anyway it all seemed fixed and Oxygen was booting up fine, sim card was being read, but I found that most of the time my laptop would not discover my phone when attached in storage mode.
Then I decided to start from scratch and restore my desire to a stock htc rom. After preparing my goldcard and getting the RUU I ran the update. The ROM I installed was: RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe
(I tried installing a stock froyo RUU before that one and I couldn't. It came up with an error that said invalid vendor ID or something similar)
The restore seemed to go fine until the update utility told me everything was done and rebooted my phone. End result was that the phone's LCD is now not working at all. I've checked the back of my phone's box and all that is written in there is:
Display - 3.7-inch touch-sensitive screen.
The phone boots (it's making all the noises etc). I can get it into fastboot as well and get fastboot oem bootloader info etc. But ADB is not working and I've got a feeling the wrong RUU has been flashed hence screen death.
To make things worse, when I plug the desire into my laptop (with a fresh install of htc sync to flash new rom etc) device manager sees it as: qualcomm cdma technologies msm.
It won't recogize it as a htc desire at all. Tried a different laptop with new htc sync install etc but still the same issue.
Spent like 5/6 hours last night trying to figure this out but now I'm stuck.
Seems like the only access I have to the phone is via fastboot. Is there anything I can do to recover this phone?
Any help would be appreciated.

had a look at that, however thing is I can't access adb at all..and i got a feeling my goldcard didn't work so I can't create a new one as i cannot find out the CID..
The only thing I can do is use fastboot to reboot into rebootRUU and try to flash the ROM manually. It keeps failing and giving the following error:
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash zip rom.zip

Tried flashing a h3G rom and it flashes but still no screen...I can only find two h3g roms. anyone come across any other [uk] three network RUU?

Fixed!!!!
After much google searching/reading over here at XDA and modaco I finally figured it out
1) Made a new gold card, flashed a froyo RUU via fastboot which brought the SLCD back to life and gave me a working froyo unrooted rom (still with no adb/usb access)
2) Created a new misc partition img file using various guides available.
3) Used quanchi's guide to use rageagainstthecage exploit, to allow the misc partition to be flashed.
Laptop is correctly recognizing the desire now

Quitly Brilliant .. ;-) I guess 1st thing you need to do is create a goldcard while your mobile is working

[Q] MISC Folder is Missing Cannot root My HTC Desire

[Guide] i want to root my HTC Desire
Froyo 2.2
Hboot 0.93
I tried Unrevoked but unsucessful as My Phone has no MISC folder in It.
how to create it or what could be the problem
Guide Please ASAP

Which unrevoked do you use? Did you install the modified HBOOT drivers (win)? What is your Desire's PVT version?
and please read through - the rooting process is many months old, almost all issues like this had been solved in previous threads.

I have used Unrevoked 3.21 3.31 and 3.32
Yes i have instaled the desired HBoot Drivers required by window..
I ad a problem first that CID backup is missing, b using adb i removed that error but while unrevoking is working it stops at One point Errors:
Cant Find: MISC
Can`t push\load recovery
etc etc
Its not finding MISC Folder on my phone memory and i have searched it its missing..
now im in a fix how to create it again .. and if i create it by sing adb will i be able to Root it.
Unrevoke is working well guess its the problem with
Missing MISC folder
Guide Please

Do you have USB debugging enabled?
But i found this by using SEARCH:
3. your problem is that your device misc partition is corrupted therefore unrevoked will not work.
apparently some people have had success by downgrading their hboot but its not something ive done.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Debugging is Enabled...
But stops at a point where one can Wipe out all the required Wipes
and also run upate.zip and eventually Gingerbrad 2.3.zip
If its corruped i should wipe out all things manually
It stops where menu is presented in Green
Regars

Unrevoked has no green menu. What are you talking about? You are in the recovery? CWM?
What is your PVT model (shown where HBOOT is).
What is the EXACT error you get?

[Q] Marvel Soft Brick - Strange Behaviours

Apologies if this has been discussed already, I've searched plenty but wasn't able to find this exact scenario.
I have a PG76120 that shipped with locked HBOOT 0.90 and S-ON. I set out with the goal of unlocking the bootloader via HTCDev. The update RUU for failed but I was able to flash the 2 zips separately through the bootloader.
After the rom_01 file (the one that contains radio 7.54.39.08M) I noticed HBOOT was reporting S-OFF so I decided to see what exactly I could do with it. I flashed CWM, made a nandroid, and tried a couple of 2.3.3 ROMs, none of which worked (I imagine because the bootloader was still locked).
I restored stock from nandroid and flashed rom_02 (the one that contains HBOOT 1.08.0099 and radio 7.53.39.03M) and unlocked the bootloader. Thiking that secu_flag is stored in the radio image and that since the rom_01 image reported as S-OFF it might have been unlocked) I then flashed rom_01 again. It didn't S-OFF but it did update the radio.
So: HBOOT 1.08.0099
Radio 7.54.39.08M
***UNLOCKED*** & S-ON with CWM as recovery.
At this point I gave up on the idea of having a custom ROM and decided to flash stock 2.3.5. I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485345 and flashed it via clockwork. This has caused my problems:
The first time I flashed I had an error a couple of people in the thread were having: phone wouldn't boot past first HTC screen when it went to CWM with "E:invalid command argument". I cleared data/cache/dalvik and reflashed which solved the problem, but has left me in the current situation:
Phone will not boot into recovery, or past initial HTC screen unless the USB cable is plugged in. It bootloops showing the HTC logo and a brief rumble.
If the cable is plugged in it will boot to the new rom and to recovery no trouble, but as soon as you take the cable out it resets and starts bootlooping.
If I put the cable in so that it progresses past the initial HTC screen, but then take it out before it completes launching it's fine, but as soon as the cable goes in it resets and starts bootlooping.
Neither the operating system nor recovery can mount the sdcard. HBOOT can detect update files on the sdcard.
Official RUUs will not flash, they say ERROR 155 (EDIT: RUU Security Fail! Update Fail!)
I also cannot pass them to HBOOT as PG76IMG (it detects the file but is dissatisfied with its contents and aborts).
I cannot flash them via fastboot (signature not found). I can flash CWM again just to make sure its not borked (and I've done that).
I cannot flash anything via recovery as it cannot see my sdcard.
WTF is going on here? :/
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Update: I've managed to flash an official RUU by relocking HBOOT with
fastboot oem lock
And passing it as P67GIMG.zip on my Goldcard. The same strange rebooting behaviour continues! Is it possible that I have genuinely damaged its hardware?

Is there any possibility this has to do with a corrupt misc partition?
I was able to fix the sdcard issue with fastboot oem enableqxdm 0. The phone can see the sdcard but will not identify itself to the computer over USB. To get files onto it I need to bluetoothe them from my GS2.
If so, could someone please post their misc partition from a functioning 3G Marvel?
Thx
