Hi guys this is my first time i post a thread. I posted 2 pictures
one of them describes the rom i'm using and the other is root checker
i originally rooted my htc desire unrevoked and everything was fine besides not being s-off
i had busybox installed and says rooted and titanium also worked fine untill i flashed from rom manager the picture above,all hell broke loose.
i can still download roms from rom manager but when in the notifaction shows me complete, it doesn't do anything
my power button doesn't power off the phone,i always do a battery pull and when i go to bootloader volume up-down doesn't work nor power
my current rom is working <see picture attached> but new market installed always says stopped unexpectedly
please someone help if you can thanks airmario
Your attachments are invalid. For problems with revolutionary use their irc channel.
Thanks for the response!
But the problem is not with revolutionary
When I type Adb shell it says

Sorry about maybe a miss wrote

Sorry, but I don't get it. Which steps did you do exactly?
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
In my humble opinion I would say: Do a complete wipe of everything and then do a clean stock rom install. After that try again. ow btw the update from HTC for your bootloader unlocker is NOT for the HTC Desire! But revolutionary works 100%. Did so on my HTC Desire WITH the new Gingerbread update. Now I am S-Off and rooted and have the Leedroid rom running ( with some tweaks)

Ok please be patient with me
He we go my first step
#1 I rooted my HTC desire with unrevoked for the past 4 months every thing worked fine.
Only thing is s-on
Then not long ago I decided to flash a different rom through rom manager like I've always been doing .
Once I did my problems all started
Busy box says not rooted,titanium same but rom manager I get permissions .
The rest is history ....all I want if possible is to start from scratch if possible ...go back to stock and root.

First of all if I am not mistaken Unrevoked doesn't "fully"root your phone. because your S-on doesn't turn into S-off. Therefore you usualy needed to do a nand root. And that could brick your phone if that fails
Sorry if I seem a little cautious with my words because I am a little newbe to all this
But with the Revolutionary tool it works. Trial and error on my own HTC Desire to prove it
You should be able to look for a Froyo RUU or even the newest Gingerbread update for the Desire and flash your phone with it. And then start from scratch with rooting with Revolutionary. If you allready did the update from froyo to Gingerbread there is no turning back to Froyo for now as far as I know. So you have to flash again with Gingerbread
Look on the threads her at XDA and you will find it or even try google. If you done that with succes you start rooting S-off with the revolutionary tool.
Don't bother trying to unlock the bootloader with the unlocker from HTC!! It is not ment for the Desire...!
hope this helped

Was your phone branded? If not, just download this ruu, run it and follow the instructions on screen:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
If it was, create goldcard, put it in your deisre and then the ruu again:

I'd go right ahead and download the Gingerbread update from HTC, wouldn't bother with the Goldcard because you may spend a lot of time trying to fix something which is unfixable. I seem to remember having a problem like yours, which was only solved by downloading an installing the official HTC RUU, I had also tried to get S-Off with Unrevoked but didnt use the right driver(was using HTC's driver, or maybe another, whatever it was it wasn't the right one to use with unrevoked, although unrevoked seemed to have worked!?).
Revolutionary has improved upon Unrevoked though. Its a lot simpler, the process is quicker and there's no user interaction at all. If you back up as much of the stuff and apps with titanium as you can or just your personal stuff, shouldnt be to much of a hassle.

About which unfixable are you talking about? You get cid error when you want to flash stock ruu although your phone was branded.

And at this point he will need a goldcard (maybe) to avoid cid error. That's why I asked if his phone was branded or not. So please do not talk about an error which is not fixable without defining which error you mean more precisely.

To backup apps with tb, one needs root access. The thread opener does not have it and revolutionary does not give you root access till one's flashing the zip mentioned on the documentary site.
And revolutionary is another matter altogether, because the op wants to go back to stock. He may run revolutionary then.

I would do this: switch off the phone, remove the battery for 10 seconds, plug the battery again, charge full with phone still off with htc ac charger (2.5 hours at least), remove the charger, switch on the phone, ensure u have usb debug active, connect the phone to ur pc, run the ruu (if u are no brand use the 2.29.405.5)

Hello,
I updated my desire (that has the original rom) to 2.29.405.2
After this update my internet browser crashes at start up. But i can read sites through the rss reader newsrob. An other (bigger) issue is that the touch input htcime crashes. So on almost every touch on the screen this error shows and i can't get my keyboard to show up. Is there a way to reinstall the update or rom? Will i lose my data? if so how to save and restore the applications with there data?
update: I got an unbranded htc desire from holland.
Thank you for your help.
did you unroot your phone? (unrevoked or similar)
no never rooted my phone. So didn't have to unroot.
I also did a reset to factory settings. Now the internet browser works again but the most annoying issue is still there that the touch input still crashes.
You could reflash the rom using the 2.29.405.2 RUU from shipped roms.
This would wipe your phone tho....

I would suggest you try rooting with unrEVOked recovery and try a different rom to see if the same behaviour still exists.

is it okay if i flash the euporean 2.29.405.2 RUU from shipped roms to the phone?
mmm, if you want to use the 2.29.405.2 rom, you will need to create a goldcard - do a search, there are tutorials on how to create one.
you cannot jump straight from 2.11.832.3 to 2.29.405.2
Yep, since your phone will most likely be region locked, you will need to create a Gold Card to unlock the CID before being able to root. If you like, try using the Gold Card Tool shown in my sig below.

Actually my phone is already rooted, I set it up a few days ago with Unrevoked! I already done some flashing with clockworkmod and apps that need roots access worked.
Anyways, I set up the goldcard just now. Hopefully there r no conflicts/problems setting it after already can root.
Btw I used this tutorial: http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-how-to-create-a-gold-card
Could you guys provide steps for me to upgrade from 2.11.832.3 to 2.29.405.2
Thanks, I want to go to the lastest!
Boot your phone into fastboot (power + back button), connect to PC, wait until it says fastboot usb and then run the ruu.
If your PC fails to recognise your phone via USB, then you could also try doing it via the PB99IMG method as it is a lot easier. It should work for you but you need to unlock your phones CID with a Gold Card first before proceeding. Once you have made the Gold Card, rename your rom zip file to PB99IMG.zip and place it in the root of your SD card.
Next, press the volume down + power and you should be on the HBOOT menu screen.
After a short while, you should get output from loading the PB99IMG.zip file, then you will be prompted to start the update, confirm this and reboot when ready

If you've got a gold card, you can now update to another rom.

Hi guys, just like the OP I have problems with the latest software version 2.29.405.2. I got this update about 3 days ago, on an unbranded Desire that I bought here in Holland in a package deal at a local KPN/Hi shop.
The device has been working perfectly for the last 1,5 months until I got this update, I am experiencing random crashes and I notice that when I go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications and look at the names and sizes of applications, the values of the sizes somehow break during parsing/loading the screen which means it doesn't properly list the sizes of the application after the name of the application. To get an idea there is just numbers there like '10' instead of 10,05KB.
When the phone crashes it just becomes unresponsive and it happens both when in standby and 2 times now during useage whilst going thru menu's and I have to remove the battery to be able to boot again.
My girlfriend has the exact same phone for 5 weeks and also installed the upgrade without any problems, the values in the manage application are still showing okay for her as well after the update so I think her update/software is functioning properly while mine is FUBAR atm.
I have tried resetting the phone to factory defaults 2 times now, without luck.
Any ideas?
Can I just try flashing the phone again with the same software, safely? Since I bought this unbranded and it's a relatively new phone, do I need to mess around with rooting or gold cards? Just seems odd. Thanks for any advice you can give on this.

Hi All,
Ok i have a somewhat confusing problem.
I rooted my desire originally using the r5 desire root pack. All was fine and well, upon moving to oxygen i used the alpharev n1tables and woo all still good.
I picked up a Nexus S for myself and gave my Desire to my GF. Before giving it back I ran the "RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed" RUU to revert it to 'normal' (its actually a debranded TMob)
The GF would now like Oxygen again like I had. I've been trying to reroot the device but i'm not getting anywhere. The HBOOT is stilll .93 so i think Alpharev is still working. When I try to use the r5 root i previously used it errors on step1, but continues to the end.
Upon trying to apply the rootedupdate.zip it fails to verify een with a fresh goldcard.
I've also tried using the unrevoked latest version, but it does not detect the phone .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

use unreovoked www.unrevoked.com/recovery . older root methods dont work on the newer hboots.
Are you sure you're running unrevoked correctly? With the right drivers?
Id also recommend running a more recent unbranded RUU before rooting.

yes, i did create a Goldcard when i first did it a long time ago.. Tried FULLWIPE.ZIP as well.
at this stage im going to have to send it back to VF with Android revolution on it..
kiwiboy1978,
Check this guide / links to guides for your very problem;
The Complete Guide 2 Return Rooted Phone Back 2 Stock for Vodafone Australia Warranty
The procedure should be the similar for othe carriers, although you might have to obtain the HBOOT & Recovery image from elsewhere.
Can you explain about the goldcard question. If I DIDNT use a goldcard would it cause this? I didnt think that I could root the mobile in the first place without the goldcard.
Its just weird as every other ROM installs without a hitch. Just the stock Vodafone ROM is doing this. And of course its the one I really need back on there!
aargh!!
**clarification, i did use a goldcard as far as i remember*
I never had to use a gc, as not carrier branded. Reading on xda, others have had issues trying to downgrade to stock without the gc. Without it they were getting cid mismatch or such when trying to flash.
Even if you have cid 11111111 now, it is still possible to check what your cid was before. Maybe this is part of the "check" it does when trying to flash back and giving cid errors/mismatch.
Check original in ADB, command prompt;
adb shell getprop ro.cid
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
ok, checked my CID and its VODAP021.. does this sound right?
shouldnt it be as you suggest 111111111?
If you did it in adb, that confirms that your phone was definitely carrier branded and you need s gc.
If you go to fastboot, system info, if your phone is s-off, cid will show 11111111.
I'm away atm, and can't really to any digging for you, sorry. There are a few threads going around on the topic, incl the one I gave you previously.

ok. remade a goldcard got the stock ROM on it, same issue.

Hi, just wanted to thank you anyway.
Those guides didnt work in my case. What I ended up doing was re-rooting the phone. Making a backup of the Android-revolution HD rom through ROM Manager, then replacing the contents of the backup folder with the contents of the Vodafone ROM.
This worked.

I have a Telus Desire HD and I managed to downgrade then root and Radio s-off,then installed Revolution HD 5.2.3 and everything is great.
However now i am selling it and the person that wants it says he wants it stock with no root or custom anything.
Honestly I don't know how to go about it to do this and that is why I need some help from someone that has more experience and knowledge than me.
Thanks in advance and if i left out any important info about my phone let me know and i will include it.
You should have made a backup of your stock rom .
if you did flash it though recovery. It will lose root. Still be s-off but they wont know ha.
failing that you need an official ruu. This is an .exe file used. With a windows pc. You will find these in the dev forum or the htc website. Ruu will.remove s-off radio-off and the eng hboot.
if you dort have a pc or cant connect your dhd to it. Flash a stock (but custom) ·rom and tell them its done.
.if they dont mod phones they wont know the difference.

I managed to download to RUU's...

So after reading this what is your recommendation?Do i still need the gold card to flash the stock rom?
Thanks for the help bud!
Personally i would go for the first one you listed. Connect your phone to htc.sync and double click the ruu. It should run the update and return your phone to stock. No goldcard or special method needed. Let me know if it goes well?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Oh man I think something is wrong....I fired up the first RUU and went trough all the instructions and hit update and it rebooted the phone to the black screen with the htc logo and its been sitting there for like over 30 min.What should I do,should I disconnect and try again or what.
I am so scared that this damn phone is bricked,please help!!
Edit:
Wow I almost got a heart attack and thought it bricked but was relieved when it booted up again.
But now I am scared to attempt this again and I don't know what went wrong.
Did it flash the RUU? or are you still rooted?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
No,unfortunately it did not flash cause it got stuck at the black HTC screen and then I disconected the cable rebooted the phone.
And now I am totally scared to even make a second attempt but eventualy I will have to.What is the chance of bricking the phone while running th RUU?
I have never heard of it happening before but I don't want you to be the first.
I don't understand why it didn't flash. If Ruu are not compatible it won't try to flash them. Usually.
I know its not morally right. But could you flash a stock rom via recovery then remove the superuser app. Giving the impression of being stock. Will be safer for you.

I have never heard of it happening before but I don't want you to be the first.
I don't understand why it didn't flash. If Ruu are not compatible it won't try to flash them. Usually.
I know its not morally right. But could you flash a stock rom via recovery then remove the superuser app. Giving the impression of being stock. Will be safer for you.

Is it possible to even brick with RUU at all?I want to give it a second try but the thought off bricking is scaring me.I use to own an Iphone before I switched to Android and I had the worst experience with the Iphone that it left a mental scar on me.
Anyway I spoke to the guy that wants to buy my phone and he is basicaly now saying that he wont mind having the phone rooted but he would like to have a stock rom on it.
I tried to tell him that the current rom that I have on (Revolution HD 5.2.4) is way better than stock but he is not listening to me.
There are stock roms in the dev section. Ill grab a link for you if I have time. Bit busy at the monent sorry.
Idont think you can brick with an ruu but I'm not 100 percent. Id go with the stock rom through recovery.

This, I believe, is the best option. And the safest.
Its a standard zip to flash through recovery. Its rooted but as the person buying the phone said they want stock. This is the closest you will get without an RUU. Glad to be able to help.
Out of interest are you getting another android after selling your dhd.

Not sure why the ruu failed. But if you want to give an alternative a try is run the ruu for the first two steps, right before it begins flashing. Go into your temp folder. You'll see a folder named bunch of gibberish. In there look for rom.zip. copy it and rename it PD98IMG. Place in the root of your SD card and flash through hboot
So I am on Windows 7 and where is this temp folder located specifically?
Could it be possible that the RUU failure is caused by win7?

In the start menu search %temp%.
Not sure. Could be maybe a driver issue? Did you have USB debugging on? Maybe a bad download?
I've ran ruus on windows 7. So I doubt its the os
I think I did have usb debuging on....you think tat could be the problem?
And thanks for the search tip I managed to find the folder.
I will give this a shot in the morning with a nice cup of coffee .

ive always have mine to have usb debugging on when connected to a pc, but not positive that it is required for the ruu. Ive only ran an RUU a couple of times.
Also do you have HTC Sync installed? if not install it and try RUU again. Personally i prefer the PD98IMG method though. keep us posted
I do have HTC synch installed so I think that can't be the problem.
I'll try the RUU method one more time and if it fails then I will try your method.
Thank's for your kind help sir.

ok. let me know if it works. maybe try the other ruu this time. first one you tried must be wrong. good luck
I'm on holiday now and told a friend I could help him with his phone having some minor strange issues. Because I'm not familiar with this phone I didn't dare to put on a custom ROM. When I was busy investigating the possibilities of an upgrade the device offered a system upgrade. After finishing the process it started and after a while it restarts.
I was able to find a laptop on which I could run a downgrade script to 2.1. This script fails when it checks if the image is properly pushed to /sdcard. I then used "adb shell" to check this. There's no block device mounted to /sdcard. I then looked for the available devices in /dev/block and only saw 1 mmc device, the external SDcard.
Before trying this 2.1 downgrade I tried to download a stock firmware for this "Orange France" device, but all those links are dead ones.
At this moment I don't really know what's the best thing I could do. I already did a full wipe from the boot loader menu, but that didn't help either.
Can someone help me to escape from this embarrassing situation?

Download 2.3 RUU from htc dev site (you have a link to the thread how to do that in my sig) and run it. You can also check Bortak's guide.

I think I already tried that. It said it couldn't upgrade from the version I was running. Is this possible? I will try it whenever I have the next opportunity. Open to more suggestions... Thanks
Goldcard?
