Hi @ all,
I know it's annoying that another one asks for installing RUU, but I'm stuck. I have Insertcoin rom installed on my desire und wanted to revert everything to stock with the official HTC 2.3 RUU.
I found out that I need to downgrade alpharev first otherwise the RUU won't install. So I did that and rebooted the phone. After rebooting it bootloops at the alpharev screen and I can't boot into the system. But wihtout booting, the RUU installer doesn't recognize the phone. Is there any possibility to start the update process without being booted up? Maybe in fastboot mode?
Solution:
I found a way by myself... I simply downloaded a 2.2 RUU startet the setup progress and searched for the rom.zip in my temp folder. I copied this rom to the phone's sd card and renamed it to PB99IMG.zip. I flashed this zip via fastboot, booted into my fresh installed froyo and started the 2.3 update progress. Unfortunately the official 2.3 RUU has no rom.zip but only a data1.cab which can't be opened by fastboot. That's why I had to do the downgrade first.
You know you can run an RUU whilst in the fastboot screen?

2.3 should have a rom.zip too.

Hi folks,
Any idea why my "unbranded" htc desire will not update OTA for the new update:
ota_bravo_froyo_htc_wwe_2.29.405.5-2.29.405.2releasedauh16jhok5cmdm6.zip
I keep getting explanation mark in triangle with status error 7...
Try running this RUU with the phone connected to the PC, ensure USB debugging is enabled on your phone. Create a Gold Card if your are not sure whether your phone is unbranded or not.
If you receive any driver/USB associated errors when running the RUU, check that HTC Sync is installed, run as Administrator, and temporarily disable any AV software.
If you still have problems, then try the PB99IMG (rename the RUU to PB99IMG.zip and place to the root of your SD card, then flash via the Bootloader screen) method as it is a lot easier than the first method I mentioned. Just remember that if you were branded before you will need a Gold Card to allow this method to work.
If you do try the later method, remember to remove the PB99IMG.zip file from your SD card afterwards or else it will run if you ever go into recovery mode.
yep MasDroid, just a thing, the link you gave point 405.2 rom ^^
for 405.5 try this one instead => http://shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Bravo&file=RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
That's cool.. and I will probably use the RUU to update.
however does this mean I can't perform any future OTAs? What does status error 7 actually mean?
status error 7 mean a problem with the verification of the signature.
like when you try OTA with orange desire + HTC stock rom without gold card.
perhaps HTC work on the gold card back door?
anyway that's the crap if we no longer could make OTA with our unbranded desire...
I can't update my phone with OTA at all, just keeps coming back with error 7...
I have unbranded with stock HTC rom with a gold card! (as I used it to originally unbrand my phone).
feel lost...
@garpunkal
did you try to flash from your pc with the RUU from shipped-rom?
Try the PB99IMG method i posted above instead as you won't run into PC errors.
@tozneno thanks for the updated RUU link

you're welcome, Mas ^^
@tozneno I originally flashed my phone to unbrand to the 405.2 rom... now I have an OTA update and it fails with error 7... Do I now need to reflash to get this update?
You shouldn't HAVE to but it might be something HTC have changed to stop people using a gold card?? Who knows...
If you can download the file you could try and flash it manually
@MasDroid will the PB99IMG method wipe my phone? (reflash rather than update?)
Yes, PB99IMG method is the same as RUU, it will wipe the phone
EDIT: trying to find the OTA, going through HTCs servers, and it won't work so either the file name is wrong or they've pulled it
Yes, it will reflash the firmware.
It just a more efficient method than running the RUU, which can bring up all sorts of driver/usb errors.

@EddyOS tried flashing it manually... renaming it to update.zip and doing the bootloader stuff... no luck...
Sounds like a duff OTA file to me
@EddyOs @MasDroid if it wipes the phone, I might skip this until the next major update....
Rename to PB99IMG.zip

You mean rename the RUU to PB99IMG.zip not the OTA update file?
I have the latest OTA update and using ruu file was able to downgrade to an earlier version of GB which I guess was the leaked one. I tried to go back an earlier ruu (RUU_Vivo_W_VERIZON_WWE_1.34.605.3_Radio_0.99.01.02 25_2_NV_VZW1.92_release_181303_signed) but it gave me an error about the bootloader.I have not had S-Off or root done to the phone and is just stock.
I would like to go back to the original ruu/image that was shipped with the DINC2. In worst case I will just apply the latest ruu that is the same as the latest ota.
Any suggestions?
thx
just rename any RUU to PG32IMG.zip and put onr oot of sd card and flash in hboot. since it's signed HTC you don't need root.
Were you able to do this successfully?

In HBOOT I see the message saying its Loading pg32img.zip then after awhile it says it is checking pg32img.zip and then returns back to the Main screen where you can choose fastboot, recovery etc.
After booting phone backup, I attempted again to run the ruu form from windows pc and got this error "ERROR[140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
Can somebody please provide me the link for stock froyo RUU India and by which I will not lose S-OFF

Not available. Get the Eclair RUU, and the Froyo OTA ZIP from Shipped ROMS. Rename the OTA ZIP to PC49IMG.zip,place on SD and reboot into bootloader. (Obviously after flashing Eclair RUU)
And whats with you multiposting and posting here? This is a Dev Related Question??
Download this RUU from here http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142213_signed.exe
make sure you enabled debugging in your phone, connect phone to PC and follow the steps.
This will install stock eclair it will be same as brand new phone, later you can update it to Froyo. Later you can root your phone.
Note: Installing RUU does not make S-on.
You said without loosing s-off, so you must be having alpharevx s-off.
I guess you also must be having custom recovery. In such case you can just use the safe flash zips to have the stock os. They can be flashed from custom recovery just like normal custom roms.
And you can use WWE froyo ruu. There is no Indian froyo ruu presently. I think there wont be any difference between both. And you need to be aware that using an ruu will remove the custom recovery.
Alternatively, if you want Indian only, then this is the way.
First download latest Indian eclair ruu (1.25.x) and flash it [ Here you need to remember one thing, if you use the oldest eclair ruu then your touch panel won't work untill you flash the newer one ]. This gives you stock recovery but not stock hboot. This also takes you to eclair os. Now get the froyo ota for India. Rename the ota.zip to update.zip to be kept at the root of memory card. Then reboot to hboot menu and from there select recovery. This gives you a picture with phone and red triangle. Now press volume up + power. This takes you to stock recovery. Now you will see the option to apply sdcard update.zip. just do it and you will have Indian froyo stock os (but not stock hboot).
[Sorry, but renaming of ota.zip to pc49img.zip will not work AFAIK. We can find "firmware.zip" inside ota.zip. This firmware.zip contains few stock things like hboot.nb0 recovery.img radio.img. And this firmware.zip can be renamed to pc49img.zip and kept in root of sdcard (then rebooting to hboot menu) to update those things without actually updating the os.]. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you'll have to S-OFF and root again and then flash the stock recovery using fastboot. Just use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680 and instead of using a custom recovery use your "stock" package
No need to do s-off again.
If you are on hboot 1.01.0001 just flash the wwe_froyo_ruu. Or even you can use pc49img method. And if you are on hboot 1.01.0002 then you need to use pc49img method from froyo ota.zip of that hboot you used.
And if your hboot is 0.80 you can use the above 2methods of ECLAIR update. Or use unrevoked to point to the stock recovery image from the file menu (but remember on using unrevoked you will get root permissions).
EASIEST METHOD : Flash the ruu or ota that you have taken the hboot from (while reverting back to S-ON).

Thank you guys i'll try the above mentioned methods
Used the pc49img mathod bot during the fastboot it only reads the zip containing recovery and a blue bar atthe side appears but gives no option to install ......i think it is because that i have done s-on my device due to which it does not allow me to install recovery.
I think i should do s-off again and flash stock recovery using pc49img method and then do s-on again.....give any suggestions then i'll try
You don't have to do s-off.
Now in your case installing recovery through pc49img method means not just installing the recovery alone. If you extract the recovery.img file HTC signature will be lost. And it is in hboot menu and not fastboot menu. What you have to do is to install all official contents without extracting the file. And another important thing is sdcard must be fat32.
If you taken hboot from ota (during reverting to s-on), then this is the way. Extract the contents of ota and you will find firmware.zip . Now donot modify this firmware.zip and just keep it in the root of sdcard. Then rename the firmware.zip to pc49img.zip and reboot to hboot menu.
And if you have taken hboot from an RUU, then just run the RUU process.

Hey guys,
I have a htc desire wich have a booting loop. i try to reinstall diferrent roms but unsuccesfull. I need official rom version 2.22.75.3 from orange spain. if anyone can help me with that will be much apreciated.
Thanks
There are no Orange RUU's available. You can use the Gingerbread dev RUU from HTCdev.com This unbrands but retains warranty with HTC.
i can't find anytyhing there. If i try to put the rom on a sdcard and use a gold card to flash the phone, when i try to flash teh phone i receive thsi message " can't open zip file " I'm kinda stuck here
http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Yeah its stupid that site, you have to go to "kernel source2 then "See downloads" to get to the link above.
same shi... " open zip file failed "....
What zip file? Its an .exe that you run from your PC.
strange...i've downloaded HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade wich is a zip file. i put that zip file on a gold card and when i press power button to flash it i receive that message. btw ,wich file is an exe file from that download website?
The top one that says HTC android 2.3 upgrade. The exe may be within a zip, not sure but its the exe you must use

Try to download a PB99IMG.zip rom from shipped-roms. com and put it in your goldcard, maybe it will work.

finaly i flashed the phone with the flash specified, but now i am stuck on hboot 1.02.0001 an di can't unlcok the phone. Is there any option to downgrade to 0.93.0xxx?
What do you mean unlock the phone?
You wanted to return to stock, I assumed for warranty return. What exactly do you want to do? if this is not the case you should remember to be clear about the infromation you give in your first post.
yes, now i'm on a stock rom. but is there any posibility to downgrade to HBOOT 0.93.xxx1 because i want to unlock the phone now, and hboot 1.02.xxx1 is not supported
What do you mean by unlock???????
phone is network locked. and i want to use vodafone sim. utill that i used orange spain sim.
Ok just wanted to be clear.
Best bet use revolutionary to s-off, then fastboot flash their downgrader.img hboot. This will allow you to flash an older RUU hopefully without need for goldcard
