Hi there
Have a Htc Desire which was originally on the Orange network but recently unlocked it to T-mobile(uk).
I now am in the process of debranding it but have hit a glitch.
Have successfully made a gold card which is still inside the phone.
Only problem i have is that when trying to replace/update the rom via a RUU file i get the following error above (140 bootloader version error).
I think the error maybe caused by following an old tutorial as my current image is 2.17.61.3 and the one i am using is RUU Bravo HTC Europe 1.15.405.3 Radio_32.30.00.28U 4.05.00.11 Release 121865.
Can someone point me in the right direction on what correct files i need so that i am still running the latest files.
Is it Froyo if so can you link me to where i can find it.
Many thanks for any help given in advance!
The bootloader you have is too new for the too old hboot. You are right there.
Here you have the newest ruu by htc:

I have a branded (UK) Vodafone Desire that I loaded a stock Froyo ROM onto, now I need to get back to the branded Vodafone image (so I can return it for repair)
I have been trying to do this with the correct (Vodafone UK) RUU listed on thread 695667, but I keep getting a ERROR 140 : BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
I'm guessing this was because the HBOOT was 0.93, so I then successfully downgraded to Android 2.1 taking HBOOT back from 0.93 to 0.83 using the details in thread 768256.
My HBOOT is now 0.83 but the RUU still fails - same ERROR 140 : BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
So, is there a way to downgrade my HBOOT to 0.8 again (hoping that the RUU will work correctly with that version) ??
Or is there a way to extract the ROM image from the RUU exe and apply it using another method. ??
Thanks .. Ken
The problem is not HBOOT. Run the downgrade utility again, but -don't- install the downgrade in the bootloader (as described in the post), just select no, and then you can install the Vodafone RUU.
That worked a treat - thanks teppic74 !!
HTC bravo- t.mo uk
hboot 0.93.001
1. phone recovery corrupted[not amon ra or clockwork mod]
2. since hboot 0.93 older stock ruu wont work[1.15 and 1.21 dont work tried both]need a rom with a newer hboot
3. tried to rip .zip and renamed as pb99img but still didnt work. it wont update as it is an older version
4. does not boot into rom, stops at htc logo
5. no goldcard.
6. no HTC service centre, this country [freakin doesnt service outside home devices]
Is there any possible solution to recover the phone and make it functional?
Download RUU and create a Goldcard.
this ruu will not work because it is an older version. I require hboot 0.93 or higher. also cant create a goldcard as revskills has stopped making gold cards from cid..
Any other solution?
That MoDaCo tool works fine, and just get a stock WWE RUU such as this:
http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
will surely try out and post back in some time
tried creating a goldcard with another device. got the cid , created goldcard image but get an error when patching.
"obj ref is not an obj" something like that. and it doesnt patch. any idea why is this happening. antivirus is disabled and htc sync is installed
ok so now i have a goldcard. used a different card-patched and successful. so now i tried to load pb99img.zip and it says
"CID incorrect"
update fail...what did i do wrong
oh man what the **** is their problem.
my desire is tmo uk spec..: but currently i have hboot 0.93 htc wwe 2.29 on it..corrupted and ****ed.
so i created goldcard and tried with wwe 2.29 again but it says cid error.
tried with tmo uk 1.21[latest] and it says bootloader error.
somebody please help me out here.
any help on this guys?
I need to send my phone back for warranty but I'm having trouble returning to stock.
I had a branded T-Mobile UK desire, I rooted it and it was running Redux v 1.1.1, alpharev s-off and amon recovery.
I have not created any goldcard and am unsure if this is necessary as some guides say so and others say just to flash the provider RUU.
I tried to run the tmobile uk ruus from here (both RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.15.110.11_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122755.exe and
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe) but I got "Error 140 bootloader version" after it runs - it also asks if I want to update the ROM version from 2.10.405.2 to 1.15.110.11 (I'm not sure if this is a problem and I need to downgrade?)
I then reflashed redux as it wasn't booting, I now notice that bootloader is showing:
Bravo Unknown ship s-on (though I still have alsharev s-off splashscreen)
hboot 0.75
Radio-4.05.00.11
Can someone advise me on how to return to stock from here please?
If you're now on that bootloader you should be able to run the RUU again and it might take. Use the 1.21 one - but bare in mind unless you have an AMOLED screen it will leave you with a black screen as the ROM doesn't support SLCD screens
Thanks,
I'm pretty sure my phone is not AMOLED (Can't see any sign of it on the box), is there a RUU I should run instead or any way of restoring functionality if I try this and the screen does go black?
EDIT: I tried to run the RUU and came up with the same error? Any advice?
I believe you get that error when hboot in ruu is older than the one you currently have. Check if there is a newer ruu.
If you are still s-off hboot couldn't have been reflashed. Weird...
Is it definitely a branded one? Try running them RUU's again.
Thanks, I think it's s-on, but for some reason the splash screen has stayed. I've downloaded the RUUs (for T-Mobile) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
It's definitely branded (or at least it used to be). I did use this unlocker tool as well, I'm not sure if that will have de-branded it stopping me from using the tmobile uk ruu (in which case do you know is there any way to rebrand before sending back for warranty?)
I think I might try to run a WWE RUU (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed)
You'd need a gold card to use the stock WWE RUU
If you're on HBOOT 0.75 that's the very first HBOOT version, any ROM newer than that will work as the bootloader will be newer. No idea why it's not working but it's the issue with having a phone that doesn't have a modern RUU available for it
I haven't got a clue! I've created a goldcard using goldcard tool 0.0.5 which said I have successfully created one. I have a partition on the card, but as far as I can tell that shouldn't be a problem.
The WWE RUU won't run (error 170 - usb connection error) and when I put the PB99IMG.zip from the Tmobile RUU on the sd root (goldcard) and run bootloader, it doesn't detect it.
If I try to run the TMobile RUU it gets so far and then gives the error 140 bootloader version.
If anyone can suggest anything to try I'd really appreciate it as I'm getting nowhere!
Ok, I managed to get the WWE RUU to work by putting the PB99IMG.zip on the goldcard.
I guess that will have to do when sending back for warranty.
Thanks for the help in any case. If anyone knows why I wasn't able to run the TMobile RUU please let me know.
Hiya folks!
I unlocked my daughter Wildfire S hboot via HTC-Dev when it was first released and upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 EU to get rid of the 3 bloatware on the original rom, I did not root at the time as it was still in its very infant stage and did not wish to give my daughter my Rooted Desire through bricking hers!
Now the time has come to root as she is constantly telling me of a space shortage...I know we've all been there..so thinking the Hboot was still unlocked I ran through HTC super tool 3 , tried a couple of times with no success so realized there must be something I've missed, I checked the hboot was still unlocked in the pink text I believe it was to find that it no longer states unlocked, locked or any extra text just,
Marvel PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.08.0000
RADIO-7.53.39.03M

So my question is what is the next step? can I unlock it again some how?, I've rooted and I rom hop constantly with my Desire but this phone is being a royal pain! So did the upgrade relock the Hboot? cheers in advance folks,
Android Version 2.3.5
Sense 2.1
Soft Number 2.13.401.2
Go to htcdev and follow instructions to unlock your bootloader.Once it's unlocked, you should see "UNLOCKED" at the top when you boot ur phone.
And then you can root the phone.

OK Ta I wondered if I had to do it again, I guess as I have already updated to 2.3.5 from the first time I can skip that part and precede to straight step 1 ?
Did you tried this? I had problem with rooting my wfs, I can't find script i used right now. I'll update this post if i will find it.
What happened is that the 2.3.5 update changed your HBOOT from the previous one.......Go to htcdev.com start the unlock process and when prompted to download an RUU........ just download the RUU with the software more than the one you are having..... in your case the Europe RUU and just follow the instructions thereafter.....
Right got 'ERROR 190 ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED' please upgrade to 2.13.401.3 to apply this RUU, can I use a different RUU csoulr66 other than EU?
Wish I'd done this in one hit rather than in parts! Thanks in advance all!!!
You're 100% sure that you grabbed proper RUU? According to error you get and htcdev it should be this:
HTC EU 2.13.401.3 PG7610000 - sry can't give you direct link because of forum limitation for users under 8 posts
have you made a goldcard????? Because you will need one to run an RUU

I have a unlocked phone but I never hear about goldcard, are you sure it's needed ?
A goldcard is used to debrand the CID. Without a goldcard, you cant install diags/downgrade/etc because the CID is branded with your carrier.
I had this problem originally, all you have to do is run a stock rom RUU (From the list supplied by football in the stickies) with a goldcard. Then go back to the HTC dev website and upgrade the hboot.

All done, I could not down load any of the links from 'footballs' thread, busy..no free slots etc , so I found a Spanish site and upgraded to 'Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989' then all worked as it should following the instructions on the HTC DEV site, rooted and running SENSELESS_2.3.5_jermzii_v.1.2, thanks all!!
Hi all,
I am trying to root my stock HTC desire HD phone using the HTC easy unlock bootloader tool (also tried directly from HTCdev and easy ace root tool).
I get stucked right in the beginning: when trying to get my unlock token i get an error:
[ERR] Command error
I am on build 3.12.405.2
I am on HBOOT 2.00.0027
While searching for a solution I found out that there might be a problem with the HBOOT version (although version above 2.00. should be working, isnt't?), so I tried to update HBOOT. Tried updating with RUU, which gave an error that i was on version 3.12.405.2, while i should have been on version 3.12.405.1, so than I extracted PD98IMG.zip from the .exe and have put it on the root of my SD card, booted in Bootloader, but no update occured.
Now I am stucked and have no idea what to do next,
- should i still update my HBOOT and if so, how??
- is HBOOT not the problem and is there another solution?
Please help, thanks a lot,

The best is to create a goldcard and flash a RUU with a main version supported by HTCDEV. Then update the hboot and finally unlock the bootloader.

Hi All,
finally figured it out:
Fist update your HBOOT 2.00.0027 to 2.00.0029 following the small part in this link: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
after that: you can continue with unlocking trough HCTdev, than flash clockworkmod recovery, than activate superuser and than go on however you want! (i installed the rom manager app)

thanks a lot Glevitan, i was hoping a would get an answer from you . Eventually i didn't need to create a goldcard, just updating HBOOT using the link in my post above was enough to be able to continue!

That is just fine. But not for everyone..you gain tempo root to downgrade the main version and then flash GB rom. That is a nice move. :laugh:
