Thats kinnda what I did I think....And the problem is that my phone is stuck on htc logo screen. So now I would be happy just to get back to working phone.

Can you get in to the hboot by starting phone by pressing volume down + power? And I think latest ruu is the ruu_bravo_froyo_htc_wwe_2.29.405.5

Well I need ruu for europe cuz im theere. And yes,I can get into hboot. From there I tryed recovery.

I'm from europe too and the right ruu for mine phone is the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27
And i think you have to use that one because of the hboot. the ruu you are using have a old hboot version and i dont think the ruu will downgrade hboot..
But if you can enter fasboot use that to flash a recovery and wipe youre phone then install a custome room on it.

AlphaRev
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-4.05.00.11

Before installing RUU, make sura that you have installed Alpharev stock hboot
1. download from alpharev.nl the file "bravo_alphaspl.img" then put it on your desire with fastboot
2. install RUU
I did that 5 minutes ago..

Also take care to not flash versions older than 2.0 unless you're sure that you have a AMOLED and not SLCD.
Command:
In Fastboot mode:
fastboot flash hboot hbootname.img

Unless the computer/phone has ESP, yes, both adb and fastboot need a cable connection!
If you dont want to do it over cable, find the corresponding PB99IMG and follow the PB99IMG method

Use the attached file.
Put it in the root of your card (not in any folder)
Reboot by pressing Vol- and Power button.
When asked to update, confirm with Vol -
This should give you a working recovery. Then you can flash any rom as you usually do, and at that instance, your bootloops will be solved too.
After this, if you still wish to return Hboot to Stock (without losing S-Off), you can use this PB99IMG. <Make sure you rename it to the same name as the previous file after deleting the former.

Lothaen, come on, u too? the revolutionary/alpharev hbootS have a downgrader protection..Mean nothing can overwriting the hboot (even an official ruu can't overwrite/change it)...To allow to change hboot u have to flash the downgrader hboot that u can find on the aplharev site..Then, after flashed the downgrader hboot (still s-off) the hboot is no more protected, then u can run the ruu..and this time the ruu will overwrite the hboot, giving u s-on....
The question is why everyone (looks the lot threads coming up) need s-on, just after u got s-off? lol

All of us need to know how to make S-ON again....because we still keep the warranty on this way

hehe - i never looked into it as i was s-on for a long time and now i s-off'd i thought nothing of it...
i did assume as the hboot was rolled UP some versions then it wouldn't overwrite with an older version easily, but i only tested it today as i was having issues with my market and wanted to check it wasnt a rom
only reason for s-on really is warranty?

No, flash the zip from the recovery
Do you want root ur current gb rom? Or do you want flash an other custom rom that u can find on the development section?
In both cases, boot ur phone into recovery:
-go on settings/application and untick fast boot (if u have it enabled)
-power off completely ur phone
-press and HOLD volume down, then press (still holding vol down) the power button and wait for the bootloader screen to show up
-select recovery with the volume keys and confirm with the power button
Then to root ur current rom flash this zip
Otherwise, if u want flash a different rom, already rooted, choice one from the development section and follow the thread rom instruction
Lot of tutorials around how to use the recovery (backup, flash, restore) if u need it

The system doesn't flash because you still have the cm7 r2 Hboot on your phone, and the system partition is far to small for the stock ROM.. hence you get the system fail.
go to alpharev.nl and download "Bravo Stock". Plug in via usb and turn the phone on (it should be in RUU mode... which is almost the same as fastboot mode AFAIK), and flash the "Bravo Stock" hboot.
Once you've done that, try the latest WWE RUU (if you have a goldcard or you're unbranded)

how can i flash any file to the phone without enter into the recovery !!!!
i cant inter into recovery i am soooooo sad

I'm no expert but having just went through a similar problem to you I can reassure you that the advice you have already been given looks ok.
You don't need to get into the recovery screen - it sounds as if your phone is entering bootloader mode when you turn it on.
In bootloader you are able to use fastboot commands (as described in the above posts) which will allow you to update/upgrade your phone as you wish.
Good luck!

Bravo with SHIP S-OFF unable to flash with fastboot

Hi all, after reading through several tutorials including Bortak's and asking questions in chat rooms, I finally felt like I need to reach out for help on the forum. I have a HTC Desire that was hanging on white HTC screen and had no recovery. I have flashed with AlphaRev HBOOT and it now shows the following in Bootloader:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
I have tried flashing CWM recovery but when I try to load recovery from the Bootloader it just vibrates 7 times and then vibrates. I just want to get the phone working again, but I am not sure what I need to do or what ROM/RUU I need to use. Also, when I try to flash from fastboot it gives me: "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
Is this something to do with SHIP S-OFF and not ENG S-OFF. I think getting recovery working is the first step but I am lost.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

what did u, or were u trying to do before this happened?

I bought the device like this with SHIP S-OFF. It was fine, and then it started hanging at the white HTC screen, and would only boot up correctly once every handful of times. I assumed the ROM was unstable and wanted to flash a stable version of CM 7. However when I realised that there was no recovery I resorted to Fastboot. I then flashed an RUU zip (gingerbread) via fastboot and now it wont start at all, instead it keeps restarting. I have flashed CWM via fastboot to try and get recovery working but when I select recovery from bootloader it just vibrates 7 times.
My objective now - just to get the phone working again

when u hold volume down + power, what hboot is in the bootloader? (pink at top) also u could tried android flasher or the PB899IMG method to install recovery.

The pink at the top is "--- Alpharev ---". I did try to use Android flasher to flash recovery in fastboot mode but it says I need ENG bootloader or something.

oh rite. im not really sure im afraid, but i think u will have to use the bravo_downgrade.img from Alpharev or the PB99IMG_downgrade if u cant use fastboot commands then run a ruu. i think when u tried the ruu and it failed it was because ur hboot is 6.93.1002 which cant be overwritten by an ruu. The ruu to use would be the exact 1 for ur phone - devise, brand, region ect or use the 2.3 upgrade which is for all and can be found at HTCDev/ kernel source code/ see downloads/ filter by device (desire) below check other then find files, then ul see 2.3 ruu upgrade..
just wait and maybe some1 can confirm this first before trying it or if they have an answer

check out bortak's guide. for what i know (since surfing xda), it is wrong to flash a ruu while you have a 'custom' hboot (the hboot is very important. you can see what hboot you have on the pink line. in fastboot screen. is it Alpharev Data++, Alpharev cm7r2?) but, as long as the screen of the phone is 'alive', there's always a solution.

It's not a problem to run RUU if you have custom hboot as long as it have stock partition table. Just try to flash downgrade from alpharev site and then run RUU from your PC.

OK so I downgraded the HBOOT using the downgrader from AlphaRev, then I ran the RUU for Android 2.3, but it still wont boot up. White screen appears for about 10 seconds then keeps restarting. Also the same happens when I try to open recovery from Bootloader. After running the RUU my bootloader shows the following:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.02.0001
MICROP-031d
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Any suggestions what to do next?

strange, when i used the downgrader (PB99IMG) it made me s-on then i ran the 2.3 ruu upgrade then used revolutionay to s-off. (dont ask why) lol
edit: when i used the 2.3 ruu i extracted the rom.zip and renamed it PB99IMG and ran it that way

Yes, for some reason doesnt pick it up. I'm really unsure what to do. I cant flash using Fastboot, and after flashing the RUU I have lost the AlphaRev HBOOT and I cant get recovery. Can it really be bricked?

I am not familiar with this method of running a RUU by flashing it as a zip from fastboot. The standard method is to execute the RUU.exe from PC while the device is in Fastboot mode. Could this be the root problem ?

HTC Desire bricked for good?

Before you said "another bricked post!?" hear me out..
I spent last 5 hours looking for a fix to this problem and I just could found any so any help would be nice..
I had Cyanogenmod 7.2 installed with CM7 r2 hboot, then I saw nice theme in zip. file, good comments, so I made a backup and installed it.
Nope, stuck in HTC boot.. Alright, battery out, let me try recovery and restore.. Nothing, couldn't enter recovery no matter what I do.. Guess it's bricked so I downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe (latest I could find). Boot into fastboot and started RUU, nope again, black HTC boot, update failed.. then I realized I had CM7 r2 hboot and now i can't even start bootloader, it opens but it only says RUU with black triangles with !..
TLDR.. bricked with CM7 r2 hboot, can't open bootloader, can't open recovery and for some sick reason my card reader won't recognize SD card.. so I can't really acces SD card
Anyway to fix this or am I boned?

Try the 2.3 RUU. ( link in my sig)

ruu didnt work coz u have to be on stock hboot and flash alphrev downgrader and then ruu (2.3 like posted above is the best bet). a ruu is too big to fit on CM7r2 hboot

thank you but that's not RUU, it's rar file with zip upgrade file in it, or am I missing something?
I can't access bootloader so I can't install it, it's stucked at black HTC logo and failed RUU update so only RUU can fix it, I guess so..
is there an gingerbread RUU exe file anywhere?

I guessed that was a problem, but I can't access bootloader or recovery, I tried everything I could think of.. is there anyway to downgrade it via usb, like RUU?
sorry mods for double post

Fastboot commands should still work in RUU mode.So shouldnt be hard to downgrade.
fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img, or something like that.
Oh and the ruu is in the zip file just extract it.

yh like colin says fastboot commands should still work. just pull the battery for a min and put back in then hold back button + power then if it powers on (vibrates) then plug it in to computer then flash the downgrader (put bravo_downgrade.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer)
fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_downgrade.img
if that works then run the 2.3 ruu in my sig
