Ok, before you guys all start flaming, I read all the topics on Desire boot problems.
A friend of mine has a Desire which suddely rebooted and came into a bootloop. Sometimes it even got till the unlock screen, but most of the times it rebooted in the HTC Quitely brilliant screen.
Now ive tried to "fix" this:
I first tried to install the latest RUU:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
It gave either connection error [170], or went into bootloader and gave another error (signature error)
next option was to extract rom.zip from the RUU from the %TEMP% folder, rename this PB99IMG.zip (3x checked that it wasnt zip.zip was), put this on my goldcard (http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/). after that boot into bootloader and let it flash.
This flash gave no errors/fail, after that rebooted my phone. Than there is a green circular arrow logo with the middle arrow pointing down.. After that the phone reboots one last time (without vibrating) and is stuck at the HTC logo.
Also tried recovery factory reset.. to no avail
About the phone:
HTC Desire
HBoot 0.93.00001

Not rooted

I Dont see any options in your thread that I didnt point out above, and didnt work... As im still S-ON, the options are limited...
Sent it back to HTC and use your warranty.
Try to use 2.3 update. It worked on my desire with same problem

as much as I hate advising to use that particular RUU it MAY help you.. or just make it worse..
since you have a goldcard try other RUU's maybe
Dont think I can use any other RUU's because it might be an SLCD desire, which means any RUU lower than 2.xx will brick the screen..
BTW Ive tried the gingerbread RUU, one time it went flashing but stayed like that for 1,5 hour... pulled the plug...
Most of the times it gives a verification error..
I suggest u S-OFF/root ur Desire and install a custom ROM.
See these: http://revolutionary.io/
www.alpharev.nl
Afer u`ve successfuly S-OFFed, search for a suitable pre-rooted ROM for ur SLCD Desire, on xda-developers, there`s plenty to choose from

Hi,
I was trying to root my phone with the guide that is on this forum, but then when i restarted my phone, it was stuck on the white "HTC" boot screen. Then i tried to do a "Factory Reset" in hboot and rebooted, and still stuck on the boot screen. I tried to put a PD98IMG.zip as it was prompted in hboot as "no image or wrong file", so i loaded PD98IMG.zip onto my SD card, and still not working. any suggestions ?
my phone is S-ON.
I guess your phone is branded ? If that's the case, you need to follow the tutorial for a goldcard.
Also, if your rom is 1.7x or 1.8x, you can't root it. You have to follow the downgrade tutorial 1st
Mine took 30 mins to boot once. You could try the ruu look in dev section, you just flash it from Windows, then start again. Was your she branded?

I was in the same situation, downgraded ROM and clockwork mod and did a restore and it works fine now
@Howling Wolf - I cannot get the CID for the SD card, because
in the 'adb shell' command, my command prompt says "error: device not found". But i want to know, can i still get the CID through another HTC desire phone ? and can i still update a stock rom with S-ON ? and how do i know if my phone is branded ?
I got my phone from Taiwan, a friend brought it over for me, and when i last checked it was on software version 1.37.921.1 .
@turbo_d - ill try that thnx
did you try installing the htc sync software then do adb devices
ye i did, i installed HTC sync to get the HTC drivers, but from what i noticed is that your phone needs to be "running" instead of being stuck on the white HTC boot screen or even the hboot doesnt pick up the device aswell >.<

Try going into bootloader, and then run adb from pc..
@SAPPH1RE - i tried that but thanks for the help !
ok i acquired my CID through linux, but now its telling me
main version is older !
update fail.
any suggiestions ? my current software version of the phone is 1.37, which stock RUU should i be using ?
If you are on 1.37 you should be fine to continue with getting s-off and such. You don't need to upgrade or downgrade your ROM until you achieve s-off. And then you should upgrade to a custom ROM such as LeeDroid.

did you get it working ?
I fixed mine a few weeks back by doing a full wipe and then loading a fresh ROM
Thing is, i cant get my phone to start up, so i need to flash a stock rom, so that i can get my phone started and then do S-OFF. But it keeps telling me "Main Version is older!"
ive tried 2 roms already, 1.32 and 1.72 RUU. What could be the problem ?
thnx problem solved, the gold card wasnt done properly, so i re did everything.
thnx for the help guys !

@paulcoop007 i have same problem with you, same version with your phone and S-ON. and my phone at black screen with htc. how can i fix it. can you explain how did you fix your phone?
Hi.
I cant find my awnser anywhere so hope some1 knows it.
I bricked my phone 2 days ago.
i finally got a rom installed. 2.1 update1.
but now if i wanna reboot it goes to HTC logo with 4 triangles in the corner.
If i want to go to recovery only works with fastboot.
Bootloader wont start with the buttons.
its hboot 93 S-off
i tried to reflash it everthing.
Nothing helps to normally start recovery or the bootloader.
so i cant put my phone off otherwise i have to connect it to the computer and type FASTBOOT OEM BOOT.
then it starts again.
otherwise only HTC with 4 triangles
PLEAS help.
Sounds nasty and looks weird. Flashing stock should have taken care of things. Maybe try another stock ROM.
Use the search. There are so many threads with this problem here.
Well indeed its a stock rom. but no luck yet to get the bootloader properly back.
and use search well. didn't you think i didn't searched yet.
only thing they say is use the buttons to get in bootloader.
well i cant .
Bootloader says all info except the options
its only saying RUU
I tried diffrent RUU roms but none worked.
i cant figure out witch 1 is good.
Its:
HTC desire
2.1 update1
32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27
Kernel:
2.6.29-bravo-mck-r1
[email protected] #2
Build: pays desire sense bravesoul
Software:
V2.3
If anybody got the right RUU stock rom for me (link)
Hope so
thnx
My first post with the search was no offense. You would not believe how many people do not use it before posting. And you did not say, you used search. So i thought, you did not.
What do you mean with
I tried diffrent RUU roms but none worked.?

Couldn't you flash them? Maybe because of cid error?
Already tried this ruu:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
No probs m8
but yeh i tried already but got the code error 110 allot.
But i tried it when my phone was on the screen with HTC and the 4 triangles in each corner.
dont know if my phone has to be on or something.
Because Unrevoked didnt worked, because with the restart.
Alpharev didn't work because with the restart.
As soon as i restart it goes to the HTC logo with 4 triangles each corner.
But i will try the RUU again
Create a goldcard:
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
Put this in your desire and then try to run ruu again. This should avoid the cid error 110.
But i never used a Goldcard before :S
lol
but i will try it then
DUDE YOURE THE MAN
Dont know why the goldcard is for but it installed the RUU lol
At least a Thank FOR U
And if it can +1 REP m8
Ill remember it for the next time

Hi there,
as I recently bought the HTC One X, I wanted to reinstall a Stock Rom to my old Desire. Unfortunately it won't work for some reason, as I always get an Error [110].
I have tried the following releases from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 :
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
(the phone used to be branded by o2 Germany, but I wanted to install a branding-free rom).
When I try to start the boot loader of the Desire now, I just get the HT screen with warning signs in all 4 corners. Please find attached a photo of the screen + a screenshot from the error message (for some reason it's in German, but you'll get the idea).
As I cannot access the actual hboot (CM7rev2 hboot was installed) I can't even install a "normal" rom.
As I don't necessarily need the phone right now it's not that urgent, but I hope you can help me anyway.
Cheers!
did you change hboot back to stock? I haven't done it first time and got the same problem. there is a solution but can't remember where.. try googling..

No, forgot about that, but now it seems like it's too late to do this, isn't it?
From my understanding, that state your phone is in is fastboot. That means you can probably flash the hboot downgrader from alpharev and run a RUU again.
via xda app
your phone is in fastboot mode at the HTC logo with 4 "!". Download hboot downgrader from alpharev and flash it before rerunning RUU.

but if you dont have S-Off, cant access to anything instead of fastboot.. from which i can only flash stock ruu's but no one of ruu's are installing successfuly.
so i cant flash hboot, recovery or anything else... that means that the only solution is to reach nearest JTag service...
hm... but if he forgot to downgrade then I assume that he was s-off. so it's doable. I was there... scared the p*ss out of me... ;-)

He should still be S-Off if he's still on CM7r2 hboot.

It won't work with revolutionary / alpharev, it's always stuck at "Waiting for device".
I really don't know what to do now. Any other ideas?
EDIT: I also tried unrevoked just to see if it recognizes my phone, but its the same there: "Waiting for device".
Its late and I'm tired so sorry if you've already tried this...
Install HTC software on your pc and android sdk (to get the drivers and fastboot)
Plug in your phone when its on the 4 !'s screen
fastboot flash alpharevs bravo_downgrade.img
unplug the phone, pull the battery, put it back in, turn it back on then plug it back in (or just reboot the boot loader with fastboot)
then try running this RUU http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4a4027/n/RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
If that doesnt work see what version it says you're when the ruu says what version you're on and what you're updating to and download the ruu with the same number as the one you already have and see if that helps.
Hi, i am aware of fact that this propably happened to someone else before, but search wasnt much of use (i tried it for almost hour)

i got error 131 in procces (while using several roms from shippedroms, first branded TMO RUUs since phone was originaly branded by tmo, then ww ruu) and now i cant load bootloader, phone only vibrates when i try to turn it on, dont you have any help/links for guides to solve my problem? any help would be really appreciated.
Id try goldcard method with PB99IMG.zip, but i cant load bootloader :/

I'm preety sure that you installed amoled RUU and you have slcd device so the screen doesn't turn on.
Try Bortak's guide.

But it is. If you install amoled related RUU and you have slcd device you will end up with screen not working. In my opinion the best choice ti install is 2.3 RUU because it is made for all screen versions plus you won't get 131 error which is CID incopatibility cause it's the same for all regions. And you won't destroy the warranty.

sounds more than logical, thanks for that, but its giving me error 131 even with RUU downloaded from slcd brick part of bortak's guide

I'm sorry I forgot to ask you one question, which hboot did you have prior flashing of RUU?
0.93
Are you sure you have bootloader drivers on your PC?
I'm sorry for not reading carefully, do not use WWE RUU from slcd brick guide use 2.3 RUU that can be obtained from htc dev site.
I got ADB, not sure if I need something else, long time ago I registered at htcdev.com ... but tbh I dont know what I need to DL there

I've just opened a thread about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772499
EDIT: Just give me a word if it worked.
there was some progress, but not as much as I think it would be... phone restarted itself in middle of update several times in row (or i think, it vibrated several times in few seconds, it has happened before, its one of reasons it goes to warranty service) and RUU gave me unknown error (forgot number, but it was labeled as unknow error).
screen is working now, after turning on, if USB is plugged, i see htc logo with exlamation marks in corners, if I unplug usb, i can see bootloader with only option, RUU (instead of usual 4 ones when phone is ok). tried to run HTC RUU again, but it fails after system update part, giving me error 152: image update error
after disconnection of usb, phone gives me table where everything is ok, except radio_v2, where is instead of OK some "fail-PU", after phone restart, i am stuck at htc logo with 4 trinagles in corner, pluging/unpluging usb gives me white screen with that RUU option only
Something went wrong try to remove battery and try once more with RUU. If no luck try goldcard method with WWE .zip.
Also try to extract rom.img from RUU and try to run it from goldcard.
some guys on xda says you should try RUU over and over and over... and most of them says this is baaad situation, will GC work?
You can try with GC and WWE RUU you may be lucky. Everything sounds lie you have some issue with flash memory of you phone.
And of course, try as many time as you want you may have success.
I put phone into Freezer, then performed RUU and it works now gotta love that piece of mashinery btw any idea about TMO branded ROM for slcd desires, so i dont do any funny shiet again?
btw i really apreciate your will to help, these kind of ppl are rare these days, thank you man
You're welcome, I totally forgot about that s**t with freezer, sometimes it gets overheated so nothing works.
Forget about branded RUUs, you never know what will you get at the end. Now try revolutionary, get s-off and root, and there's a plenty of roms you can try. Go here and you have it all:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
Plus hboot change is recommended (why don't you get more space when you can).
alpharev.nl
I had s-off and root and I will have it again, but still, need to put phone in service for warranty purpose and in our country, it isnt any simple, thats why branded rom :/
btw that **** with freezer doesnt surpise me, i am giving it to service partly for overheating problems... and leaving phone without battery for a while to cool down was my standart phone starting procedure, but I had no idea that even harder temperature decrease has such influence on performance (while using RUU, phone was at standard room temp.).
Anyway, thank you again, you helped really lot
Hi,
Please can someone help.
I have a desire which was originally Vodafone. I rooted, s-off, clockwork recovery etc and have been running custom roms for ages (Though I don't flash at all often.
I tried to bring it back to stock and flashed an original Vodafone ROM through RRU. It seemed to work but errored at the end. Now I am stuck.
I have no screen display at all. If I press power the phone vibrates once but nothing else. no splash screen, nothing. Pressing "back+power" doesn't do anything either.
If I load a stock RRU it used to run through but give me a Cust ID doesn't match error 131. I have now made a goldcard and now I get a bootloader 140 error. I have tried to use androidflasher but that reports I am now s-off so fails.
RUU reports I have image 2.33.161.2 now trying to change to 1.0.2.10 (although I have tried a number of wwe and vodafone RRUs
rru goes through bootloader. erasing user data and sending signature but then fails to the 140 bootloader version error
Is it the conflict of coming from custom roms or just that it will not downgrade to a lower rom? does anyone have a higher rom? Please help. I can't even get anything on the screen to know I am in bootloader although RRU obviously thinks I am
Please help. What are my next steps. I am now totally lost!
Thank you
Did u flash alpharev downgrader before flashing the ruu?

No, That was the big stupid move! and I think what trashed it. That and the not having a Goldcard.
I have however finally solved it. I put in the goldcard and flashed rru from the HTC developers site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772499
That fixed it. I guess it was complaining that the Vodafone version I had flashed badly was of a higher version number than the other one I was trying to fix with.
Took all day but finally got there.
Thanks for the reply
Cool, glad it works now

First off all you flashed amoled ruu to slcd device, or the opposite.
Once more, nobody wants to search the forum to see experience of other people ans simply use 2.3 RUU.
