so heres my story.
my brother got water on my HTC desire. it was enough to turn the papers red. so when i try to boot it it says cannot find PB99IMG.zip. so now i have created a gold card and done all that . yada yada yada. but my problem lies here. anytime i attempt to load a PB99IMG file, it loads it, but then the farthest i have gotten to was parsing .............[sd zip] all the bootloader and other such showed up below it. but gets stuck there. any other file ive tryed, it usually gets to checking sd and then fails and goes back to main bootloader. could somone recomend a PB99IMG file that will bring my HTC back to the way it was. its on telus i dont see anything on the phone except HTC so i dont think its branded. somone please help me.
More details about your hardware/software please.
not sure what you mean , but i havn't rooted it or anything . so its stock.
Got phone from any provider or just running htc stock? If second one, download ruu here:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
MD5: bae5f3e1bf9f7e2e7d47d5e51254103b
After this, follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102
its from telus . if that makes a difference.
so i did as told , it gets to parsing and shows all the bootlaoder and radio stuff but does nothing.

Yes, that makes a difference. You need this one:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151557_signed.exe
thanks for your help its downloading now ill let you know how it turns out
it still does the same thing. i dont get options on whether or not i want to update.
*BUMP* it still sits on parsing and doent ask my to update or anything what else should i do ?
Are your MD5 Hash ok... what is your current ROM and Hboot version.
im really new into this stuff so i dont know if ym md5 hash is ok . but my device is like brand new not rooted or anything just bought it from telus. and hboot is .93.0001

md5 hash means, you check the md5 sum of the file, to get sure the file is not corrupted. For windows you can this one e.g.:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/PC/md5Check.rar
When you use linux, you do not need an extra software. Open command line, navigate to the place where the file you want to check is, and type
Code:
md5sum file.exe
File.exe is just a placeholder, replace it with the name of your file.

Can you tell how did you try this.. I hope you didnt put this file on your sd .. this is a RUU file..
Switch off your mobile.. and switch it on by.. Volume down and power.. after that connect USB cable .. and from ur PC run the RUU.exe file.
i ran the RUU and found the rom.zip file in my temp and put that on my sd card.
connect to USB and run the RUU.. it will give you exact error code.
it said it couldnt find the phone ;as if it wasn't connected.

Hi, Im trying to fix my Desire after getting water damaged, I have spent some time disassembling and drying out, so know that all is dry, when I turn it on My O2 screen flashes on then dies out and restarts, staying in this loop. I can get into the hboot menu. so Im looking for help restoring my stock hboot?? I think?
The phone hasnt had any custom images loaded to my knowledge, so i dont think it will be rooted or ready to load custom images.
Anyway my phone details are:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
will it be as easy as finding the hboot and copying to my sd?
much appreciated.
EDIT: NOW SOLVED - Thread Summary:
Alot of useless information in this thread regarding my ACTUAL problem but still some good info on creating Goldcards. After completely drying phone out after getting wet, I reassembled and tried it out, and it just flicked the O2 screen up and restarted, after trying everything below I then found out I needed a new battery, thats all! lol, so this is incase someone else has a phone that acts like mine did after water damage, I have a link to a youtube vid of what my phone was doing.
Thanks to all who helped me get problem resolved, my phone is back!
Can you get to the fastboot?
If so try running "fastboot devices" is your phone recognized?
Edit:
Ah you're S-ON, then go to fastboot, try downloading appropriate RUU for your device and run it.
See what happens. (you might need gold card if you are branded)
I guess you cant get to the recovery?
You could have not changed your hboot if you are s-on. So there is not hboot which needs to be restored. If you are would be really damaged, you would not be able to power on your desire at all. The hboot is the absolute basis of an android phone (like bios for computer). If this gets damaged, your phone is totally bricked and not more than an expensive paperweight.
When you are able to access fastboot (start phone with pressed back and power button or boot into hboot>choose fastboot with volume buttons>enter with power button), you could flash a ruu. To find out which is the right one, you need to tell us wether your phone was branded or not and when it was branded, which provider you have.
Hi thanks for replies, I understand I dont need to replace my hboot as i can get into thue menu and i can get into fastboot menu aswell. Its branded O2 so where can I find an RUU thats suitable?
If you cant get into fastboot menu, you are pretty much screwed because RUU wont detect your phone.

Download this ruu, put your phone into fastboot mode, run the exe and follow the instructions on the screen.
ok i have downloaded that ruu, but its not detecting my phone. when i first turn phone on with vol- held i get hboot menu. one of the options is fastboot (already selected) i select that by pressing power button, then my menu changes to fast boot. then my options are: bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down. i left it at this menu while i ran the RUU, is this correct? also do I need to install any other software on pc? I have installed the HBOOT USB driver earlier while I was looking about, does this need removing? also my hboot menu when first run looks through files on my sd card, should i copy the ruu file to sd?

Yes, not touching the menu is correct.
No, you do not need to install any other software on your pc.
No, you do not need to remove the hboot usb driver.
No, don't copy the ruu to sd. I recommend to save important data on sd card (just in case). Just run the ruu on your computer.

Installed hboot drivers correctly:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Furthermore, check if you have only htc sync drivers installed.
The goldcard can only avoid the cid error, and has nothing to do with the usb connection.
When u use Unrevoked remove HTC connectivity from ur computer...
And u can use FastbootCommanderV.1.5 to patch HBOOT...
ok getting somewhere USb drivers must be screwed on my lappy, i installed on another machine and using fastboot commander I could connect in fastboot mode and got my phone details up, I then tried the RUU that you gave me a link to earlier and it successfully connected and attempted the update, although after about 2 mins it says that its the wrong version ruu. current version is: 2.14.207.3, one contained in RUU is 2.14.207.1 So what should I do now?
wow what crappy luck, you seem to have a new version so it won't let you downgrade.. bump from my end :/

No it will not. A goldcard can only help you, if you want to flash a stock ruu although you have a branded phone. When you do not have a goldcard in this situation, you get a cid error.

yeah so if he had a goldcard, he'd be able to flash a WWE RUU and be out of this sticky situation..

Yes and no. For the case, he wants the stock ruu, you are right. But he wants to use his warranty, so needs the ruu of this provider. But the ruu he wants flash is older than the one he is running now. So he cannot flash the the ruu. And this problem cannot be avoided by using a goldcard, because the hboot version has nothing to do with the cid number.
On this way I at least understand the matter. Correct me, if I am wrong.

The problem is, i tried to root my HTC Desire HD and something went wrong.

I tried adding the the PD98IMG.zip file to the sd card root using a sd adapter and error says no image or wrong image when i select fastboot back to HTC DHD. DHD wont start, again i'm stuck to that red triangle image or sometime just the HTC logo. I have three sd cards tried all of them and still nothing. all were formatted. My stock image file is i think lost and no backup was made. Anyone, please help...

Your phone won't start because you have nothing on it. No rom that is. Try flashing a new stock rom via RUU
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
1. Choose and download an RUU from here : http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace (WWE means world-wide edition)
2. Connect your phone via USB. Switch it on.
3. Run the downloaded RUU.exe on the system
Your phone will be restored to factory settings and everything will be wiped.
Try rooting using Advanced Ace Hack Kit the next time you root. Read the instructions carefully and follow each step as stated. You should be good.
still no luck, i tried each and every one of them. downloaded and paste them on sd card one by one. when i do an hboot it says no image. when i just power on, its stuck on htc logo.
Those ruu you simply can't rename pd98 and flash. You have to take out the rom from them.
When in hboot select fastboot and try running the ruu from your pc
Is your phone branded?
I'm actually working on a guide tutorial of this issue right now. You said you tried a pd98 before which one? I looked at your other post in the other thread. If you used the one that gizmoe or I linked to there it wont work as your son and those were for the inspire.
Here is a gb pd98 for the dhd. Based on your radio version you should have an unbranded model and hopefully this works for you
http://www.multiupload.com/67WOK1U9AO
sorry im really new to this thing, i thought i just paste them on sd card.
This is what I've done. I went to hboot and selected fastboot, I run the .exe ruu file i downloaded which tells me to connect my phone, turn it on but error pops up, it says it cant read the phone, (error is: usb not attached) and of course it is attached.
I believe it is branded, i'm in United Arab Emirates, in Dubai. And it came from Etisalat (the Network provider)
ok im downloading the gb pd98 for the dhd.... then should i paste it on sd?
By any chance do you know what software version it was? Maybe that will help in locking the correct ruu to find
Edit-yes just paste it. Though if it is branded it wont work. Need to find the correct one
when you say software version, do you mean gingerbread 2.3.3? before everything went wrong i saw that i have 2.3.3 if that is what you mean.
now i paste the .zip file i downloaded and still the same thing. "no image or wrong image" when i do fastboot.
does that mean its branded?
Yeah I think your phone is branded.
Each ruu has a specific version number different than the android version.
For example I have an inspire 4g. The version number is 2.47.xxx.x but I have android version 2.3.3. The ruu version would help us find if possible your specific carriers ruu.
that is the big prob now, i dont know how to find the specific carriers ruu. do you think it will help if i put an sd card of the same network carrier and same phone model? just to flash the rom from that sd card?
I don't think that will work. Only thing I can think of is if you can get a hold of of another dhd same as your to look at the software version in about phone. Maybe that might help you find that ruu online if it exists. Not all ruu are released and or leaked bit worth a look. If not maybe try using your warranty if possible
Without the ruu I'm pretty much out of ideas to try with branded devices. Maybe somebody smarter than me will come by and have a better result than me.
It's getting late where I'm at 1am. But ill try and check in later today
i will try to find same phone then, will let you know also.
if you come up with some kind of solution on this in future, please let me know. thanks!

Why don't just do the USB RUU process?
He stated earlier that he did but it was not detecting his phone.
The issue is, if I'm not mistaken, is that even if his phone detected the ruu won't work as he is branded. For example if I have a branded att dhd I can't run any other ruu(wwe)as its not signed for my device.--if he was soff then it would be a non issue--

I'm curious into your experience. All you simply did was flash a different ruu? Did you have soff? The only think I can think of maybe a goldcard being involved
@mincedrock maybe you can try that. Make your SD card into a goldcard and then trying to flash a ruu

No nothing like that! However , phones in the US are extremely much more controlled by the carriers than in Sweden. It maybe has to do something with that
mine is S-On, phone is branded and when i flash an ruu, all it say is no image or wrong image.
@ABorgh : phone here in Dubai are extremely controlled by the carrier as well, imagine even the face-time for iPhone is not working they removed it (for branded), its an Arab country that's why.
@marsdta : i will read post about making a gold card, do i need my phone to do this or a card reader will do the trick? as u know my phone wont even turn on.
I followed the instructions on here to flash my DINC2 with TACOROOT and then used REVOLUTIONARY to obtain s-off. However I got an error message when I tried to enter the command "fastboot flash zip 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip" when the bootloader screen came up on the Droid. Now it is boot looping. I have tried to use that command several times all to no avail. I would get errors, and most recently the message is "waiting for device".
I am at a dead end and not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Name the radio PG32IMG.zip and put it in your sdcard and boot into bootloader

Thanks! That worked great. No more boot loop and it is telling me that I have Android 2.3.3 and software number 2.18.605.3. However, after running Revolutionary one more time to make sure I was in s-off, I can no longer boot into Hboot once I have rebooted. Nothing happens when I push the Vol- and Power at the same time.....when I release the buttons it boots normally.
Any ideas?

Don't let go of volume down until it gets to the bootloader screen.
Why did you run revolutionary again. Should a just checked by loading into hboot
Plug your phone up and in cmd prompt. Type.

Roms are a never ending debate around here. There are a lot of good ones. I recommend you try a few and see what you like. Try a sense one, a miui one, aosp ones...You'll want to spend some time on the forum reading around and seeing what people are saying. There are also several threads dedicated to discussing "best" roms.
Wow.......way too much fun. I left work a couple hours early just to go mess with this Droid. My wife just gave me a strange look....LOL! Thanks everyone for your advice and help!

Just put the Radio on the root of your SD card. Rename it PG32IMG.zip. Reboot your phone into hboot and it will ask if you wish to install the update. Select yes by using the volume up/down buttons. Once yes is highlighted use the power button to select it. After the Radio has updated remove the PG32IMG.zip from the root of the SD. Then reboot the phone and it should work.

If you have the adb tools on your computer, "adb push radio.zip /sdcard/PG32IMG.zip"

Hi all. Have not been to this site in a while.
I have an 8181 Desire (Australia - Telstra). Presently running CM7 and Runnymede ROM, with 4EXT recovery.
Before I go too far...yes, I know I should use SEARCH, but honestly I have forgotten so much about modding, I really have no idea what I'm doing anymore...
I want to return to stock and pass the phone on to a friend. I have so far installed Telstra RUU to my PC and I have run Alpharev downgrade. I have now moved to reboot and run the RUU, but I keep booting straight to Bootloader screen, not progressing to main screen. I know this means I have missed a step or forgotten something, but have nfi what that might have been.
I never really learned to flash with Fastboot, so am I able to avoid that and continue the way I am a little more familiar with?
Thanks heaps for any help. In the meantime I will continue to SEARCH and see what I can see. Cheers.
Use the troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of q&a
Search for and then run the 2.3.3 GB RUU
I've found the 2.3.3 GB Telstra RUU and renamed to PB99IMG.zip, placed on SD card. I see a blue progress bar and then "would you like to reboot now?" Each time I reboot, I am straight back to Bootloader screen (not stuck in bootloop, as such).
Working my way thru the TS Guide, but I'm pretty sure I have missed a step or forgotten something along the way... Wondering if phone won't boot properly because I am now running the Downgrade HBoot, which is obviously not compatible with Runnymede.
Am I able to uninstall 4EXT touch? Would like to simplify things as much as I can and would be happy with standard CWM for flashing purposes...
Will keep playing today. I know the phone isn't bricked, so I'm not panicking. Yet.
Try flashing the stock hboot, then RUU
Currently if only flashed the downgrade.img, it's just in a blank state with no actual hboot I believe.
(Make sure you're flashing these hboots thru fastboot, not recovery)

Working my way thru the TS Guide, but I'm pretty sure I have missed a step or forgotten something along the way... Wondering if phone won't boot properly because I am now running the Downgrade HBoot, which is obviously not compatible with Runnymede.
Am I able to uninstall 4EXT touch? Would like to simplify things as much as I can and would be happy with standard CWM for flashing purposes...
Will keep playing today. I know the phone isn't bricked, so I'm not panicking. Yet.

Dont rename the ruu to PB99IMG... It wont work as u found out. So.... On ur pc, run the ruu.exe file that u downloaded, then (if using windows) when it gets to the screen with pic of phone asking to axcept stuff, click start on ur computer, then in search box type "run" then click on run then in that search box type %temp% and search then find the first or second newest folder there will be a file there called rom.zip... Rename that to PB99IMG then put it on the root of ur sdcard and boot into bootloader

Try flashing the stock hboot, then RUU
Currently if only flashed the downgrade.img, it's just in a blank state with no actual hboot I believe.
(Make sure you're flashing these hboots thru fastboot, not recovery)

Nice! Thank you!! I was following the TS Guide and couldn't figure why I couldn't find that rom.zip file... Now I get it.
A bit busy for a while, but will try again as soon as I get home and report back.
Cheers.

If u get stuck just google search "how to extract rom.zip from ruu xda" im sure ul get a few guides.
Well, as it happened, impatience got the better of me and I did find the rom.zip and placed onto SD. Update worked fine, but now stuck at Telstra splash screen.
I really do have to head out, but I'll check back again later on.
Would having the SD card partitioned to SD-Ext/FAT32 effect the operation??
Thanks again for the help, feeling like a real n00b here!
Partition won't affect it. RUU doesn't see or care about it
Have you flashed stock hboot yet? It should say alpharev stock in the top of the bootloader screen.
If that RUU won't work, find the 2.3.3 WWE GB RUU
I have --- AlphaRev --- at top of screen. Definitely have flashed stock HBoot.
Just flashing WWE RUU now. I notice in the tutes I've found I should be seeing
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1]Bootloader - OK
[2]Radio_V2 - OK
[3] Radio_Cust - OK
etc...
I have the "OK" on all points except the [1] Bootloader, which has "Bypassed" after it...
WWE RUU now flashed, rebooted and still stuck at splash. Trying to recall if I had flashed a custom Kernel to this phone, back when I was using/playing with it. Blah, too many variables! Should have returned to stock two years ago!!
Still stuck at splash...and speaking of splash, phone might need to take a dip my swimming pool, I think.........................

Not sure why it's skipping the bootloader part.
Custom kernel doesn't make a difference either. Everything except your sd card gets wiped when you run an RUU.
I had a read of the troubleshooting guide again, Part 8, it said to flash the downgrader, then RUU, sorry for my bad advice. Try that.
Else try runnnig the 2.3.3 RUU using PB99IMG.zip method in the same guide.
You should eventually be able to get it to boot. You don't have the RadioV2 fail which is a good thing

Well, I am now S-On, so progress is occurring... Also back to 0.75 HBoot.
Still booting straight to Fastboot though. For sh.ts and giggles, I just attempted to enter Recovery, but got the dreaded red triangle. All good, phone does still boot, just not in the way I want...
Anyhoo, still ticking away. Am relearning a heap of stuff. Maybe I could re-root and S-Off again, once I get this sorted??

You can't enter recovery because the custom recovery gets overwritten by RUU as well. Like I said, everything should go back to stock.
Try the 2.3.3. GB RUU (I assume you used the Telus one as you only have 0.75 hboot?), get it booting first before trying anything else.
The latest RUU should have 1.02 hboot, at which point you could s-off with revolutionary as it's only compatible with 0.93 or 1.02 hboot as far as I know..
My suggestion of trying to enter recovery, or re-rooting was just me playing silly buggers. I swear once this thing is sorted, I am never touching it again!!
So I just tried to re-flash the Telstra RUU and got message "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". Probably due to the 0.75 HBoot, I am guessing. Would like to find a copy of Telstra FroYo RUU and see if that works. If it does get things moving, I could then OTA update once full-boot has been achieved.
Still pretty sure I missed a step somewhere... I did full wipe before starting (cache/dalvic, system, data, SD-Ext), but not factory reset. As I said, am now back to S-On, but I assume I am still rooted, so starting to think I should go back, gain S-Off, CWM and start all over again.
You people must be about ready to reach thru your monitor and choke me! Lol!!

- Please use the 2.3.3 WWE RUU...
- Ignore anything and everything to do with Telstra...
- You are not rooted. You have run an RUU but it's not booting. This has overwritten everything, so your factory reset was unnecessary...

Yep, that's what I'm experiencing.
I have flashed RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704 from here previously, but still had the boot issues when I ran it.
Gave it another try just now, but now have message "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!"
- That is not the 2.3.3 GB RUU, I think it's an ancient Eclair RUU, yes android 2.1....
- If you can't find the 2.3.3 GB RUU, at least try the Froyo RUU from that thread, version 2.29.405.5 I think. This should give you hboot 0.93 which revolutionary also works on.

Or do it the PB99IMG method

KA-CHING!!
I swear, if I could hit the THANKS button a million times, I would do so in a heart beat. Using mcclue's PB99IMG link, phone is now up and running like new!
But the thanks must also go eddiehk, for your patience and taking the time to check back each day to see how I am going. I swear I had no idea that RUU was Eclair/2.1... Just ASSUMED the updates were still relevant. Was getting close to just "Meh!" and tossing it in the trash.
So, going forward from here, is it worth me checking for OTA updates to bring the phone back completely to stock (Telstra) specs...or just leave it alone??
Anyway, again a million thanks to you guys for your help. Very much appreciated!! :good::good::good::good:

The 2.3 gb upgrade is the latest for this phone so just leave it as is. And if u want custom roms again, use revolutionary to s-off.
