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] 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:

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

Desire frozen on htc screen

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my HTC desire.
I was running Leedroid for more than 6 months and everything was fine.
Yesterday morning, my phone went battery-dead and then when I started it plugin-in to the power socket it turned on and got stuck at the HTC screen.
I can enter bootloader (I guess ?) by pressing power + back but then I don't know what to do (I have a white screen with several menus I can browse with vol up/down) ?
I also tried going with a RUU (RUU MoDaCo Version: 1.15.405.4) and it does detect my phone but won't finish.
Is there anything I can do ?

Why won't it finish?
No idea, it doesn't say.
I believe my phone is soft bricked, I can access hboot and fastbood so i'm pretty sure I can do something about it.
I read something about a unbrick thing you could launch from fastboot ? But can't find it.

Try to flash this ruu:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
Boot phone in fastboot mode and follow instructions on the screen. Does it give you any errors?
Everything goes well, it does the sending part then gets stuck at signature update:
ERROR [132]: SIGNATURE ERROR

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

FYI I tried to create a gold card but adb devices doesn't return anything so I don't know if I can create a goldcard.
fastbood devices does return something though.

Adb will run only if adb debugging is allowed, so Booted state or recovery state. In fastboot mode, only Fastboot will run. Have you overwritten recovery yet? If not, you flash another rom. If yes, are you S-Off? If so, you can flash an Hboot/recovery in Fastboot mode

You cant flash custom roms from fastboot
You can flash recovery, and each of the .img files included in the Clockworkmod backup folder, but only if you're S-off. Apparently you're S-On (Security on. For S-off, Alpharev should have been used)..
Were you foresighted enough to make a gold card? If you hadnt, you have to find the RUU you successfully flashed last, or the RUU corresponding to the region of your device and brand.

Making a goldcard is the solution. And you can get the CID from any Android phone.
You definitely need to create a gold card. To create a goldcard see this: http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/ho...th-ubuntu.html
It is in unbutu, but maybe you can sort it out. Have a look.
OK I now have a goldcard: took a friends phone (same phone, same carrier) and put my sdcard in there and used modaco's tool.
Now the next step is to install a valid RUU for my region, right ?
If I do so it seems to go past the last error but gets stuck at
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
Thanks
Hello ! I tried using a different RUU (the one suggested bu MatDroid: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed) and it has -almost- worked !
The update went until the end but now my phone boots and reboots after a couple of seconds (not fixed: sometimes I can go to unlock my simcard, sometimes a bit longer ...)
I'm getting desperate everytime I think I'm making advance there something new.
Now what ? I'm gone back to the original state: frozen on HTC screen
I tried re-running the RUU (this time the latest I could find: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe)
Everything goes well, it says it is successful but then it reboots and gets stuck with HTC screen
Hey guys, went to the bootloader and erased all data. This time for some reason it rebooted fine and now the phone seems to be working.
Now I would like to have some advice:
- What can I do so in the future I have all I need for recovering ?
- I already have a goldcard
- what about the recovery ? Should I install something ?
- I liked leedroid, so thinking of going back to 2.5 what do you think?
Thanks for your help you re the best !
EDIT: well I thought it was working but here I am again. Reboot after reboot. This time the first one happened after 15 solid minutes and now it reboots every 30 seconds I barely have the time to enter my pincode ...
Anyone has an idea ?
I've found a way to stabilize my phone, which is by not putting my SIMcard in, but not sure how long it's gonna take before the next reboot.
I don't know what to do. Was thinking in downgrading using teppic74 tool but everytime I download it I get an error: corrupted file.
Can't see the end of it.
Guys, in the end I re-did the whole process: use RUU then delite data in the recovery and it seems to work.
I guess those RUU don't always work fine the first time.
Thanks to you all for your help

So ur phone dont boot, no recovery, s-on so cant flash recovery so the only option would be to flash the correct ruu for ur phone or the 2.3 gb upgrade from htc dev. About the 7 vibrations, that usually means hardware issue. Try a ruu, its ur only option really coz of s-on.
Thanks for that. How do I do that?
I downloaded something called Revolution, but that didn't see the phone when in fastboot.
I also downloaded something called AlphaRev, but that didn't see the phone either.
A link to the latest ruu would be helpful, too.
[Later] Found the ruu on HTC website at http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152, and am downloading it.

ruu is official software from htc (rom upgrade utility)
2.3 gb upgrade from HTCDev as exe
2.3 gb upgrade as PB99IMG
The "exe" version u must run from ur computer while in bootloader
The "PB99IMG" version u must put on ur sdcard (not in a folder) then boot into bootloader and bootloader will find PB99IMG and ask to update? press volume up for yes.
Make sure u have atleast 50% ish on ur battery and do NOT interrupt the process. Both files do the same, its just 2 different ways of flashing the ruu. Good luck
PS: just make sure this does'nt apply to u (im guessing u read this part before downloading the 2.3 gb upgrade)
Exclusions: The following regional variants are not-compatible with this upgrade: Germany (Deutsch Telekom), North America, South America, South Korea, Japan, Turkey, and Arabic language speaking countries in the Middle East
OK, I've downloaded it, and extracted the rar file. This contains some apk files, and HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade.zip. If I unzip the latter, it contains a pdf and an exe. I have run the exe, and it does not recognise the phone.
What now?
[Sorry, that crossed in the post]

No idea. I did download some drivers, but they wouldn't install on Windows 8. Plus, AndroidFlasher didn;t seem to need any.
Anyhow, I have installed the PB99IMG, and now the behaviour is very slightly different - instead of just showing a red circle, it now just shows a white page with an HTC logo, then buzzes 7 times.
Looks like I have a hardware problem?

Yh im affraid so. The ruu worked coz u get the htc splash screen but because of the 7 vibrations u had before i kind thought that it still wouldnt boot. That 7 vibrations is a well known problem with the desire. The only fix is a new motherboard. A shop could prob fix it but they would charge a good 100 euro. Try ebay n find a desire with broken screen etc, they go for cheap and u could change motherboard urself, its fairly easy.
