Possibly bricked my Desire with RUU without switching back to original hboot

I had Oxygen hboot installed but wanted to switch back to original ROM. I Ran RUU but forgot to replace hboot with original one.
Now i have gray HTC in middle and /!\ in corners.
I can run RUU again and it recognizes the phone, but gives ERROR[152]:IMAGE UPDATE ERROR and recovery option doesn't help either, ends up with same error while retrying.
I can't boot into bootloader with power+vol. down
Any suggestions what to do next ? Is there any solutions ?
Nevermind, Fastboot worked. Flashed correct hboot, ran RUU again and it's working now.

please help
Can you be more specific for a noob?! I have the exact same problem and i'm desperate. What exactly did you do?

You need to fastboot flash (using commands or android flasher) the Alpharev downgrader image like it says on the alpharev site. Basically the same way you flashed your current hboot.

done
thanks guys, mine is working too now

Hi guyz!
I just bought a second hand Desire from a guy i dont know, and it seems it has some issues. I know it is not bricked as i can enter the bootloader and the fastboot mode. But that's all. I cannot access any recovery i flash, or boot any rom.
I flashed several RUU's via bootloader, one of them is booting but it reboots as soon as it settles down. Others dont even boot.
I am familiar with flashing, with fastboot and all that, i just have no experience in HTC Desire.

So this is what i get. Is there a method to get some working ROM on this one, other than flashing RUU's that doesnt seem to work? Or flashing with recovery?
I have flashed clockwork recovery via fastboot, it still doesnt work. It vibrates 7 times than the screen stays at the htc logo.
Maybe there is a fastboot method to inject all the stock stuff into the phone? And maybe somebody have those img's?
Many thanks, guys!

Desire in coma, need some advice!

what ruus are you flashing?

I flashed the ruus found here on xda. Anyway I managed to bring back my desire to stock hboot and rom. Now if I boot the phone without the sim, it works ok. When I insert a sim, it reboots right after the first boot, and enters in a boot loop. I guess this means a bricked modem chip on the mainboard....

Yes but exactly what ruus?

Please help!! Major Brickage!

Ok so here goes, hoping you guys can help... I've searched and found a few threads related to a similar issue, tried everything suggested, and still nadda....
Being the forgetful fool I am, I flashed the most up to date official RUU on my rooted Desire with Oxygen HBOOT without flashing the downgader HBOOT first... The idea was to do a simple unroot back to stock...
Needless to say things didn't go well. I now have a silver HTC logo with the 4 warning triangles in each corner
Read that flashing the downgrader then the RUU again would work so...
Flashed the downgrader HBOOT using fastboot... success!
Ran the RUU again... ERROR! 140 wrong bootloader version.
Tried flashing and running various recoveries, boots, etc. using fastboot... all give ERROR remote 12 signature verify fail
Cannot get to vol down+power
Cannot get to back+power
When I have the silver HTC and unplug USB I get the following:

Any ideas if there's anything I can do to get the phone booting again??
Thanks a lot for any help you can give!!

You are supposed to flash stock hboot, then flash hboot downgrader before RUU. This is because hboot downgrader only downgrades the hboot to allow RUU to s-on the phone. Technically now you are still on oxygen hboot. Are you able to fastboot flash hboot?

Hmm ok so I'm even more stupid than I originally thought...
Don't think I can flash HBOOTs in fastboot
Whenever I try 'fastboot flash hboot ...' with the stock alpharev hboot I get the 'remote 12 signature verify fail' error...
Thanks for the quick reply

Well screw me sideways... I fixed it...
For anyone who lands in the same (stupid) position as my idiot self, I just flashed the official 2.3 Gingerbread update RUU...
Flashed first time, booted first time, now boots every time...
No idea how or why... but yay

have a look at the first sticky post at the top of the Q&A thread, i'm pretty sure it covers it

i did try the sticky thread... but i am not able to achieve S-ON even after flashing bravo_downgrader

Try the unsigned version of the RUU in this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
If this doesn't work try one of the WWE versions.
EDIT: see also this thread, which discusses the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191565

thanks for the quick replies...
i think i have moved a step forward.
Running a WWE RUU managed to move it to:

Hey guys, I had a HTC Desire that started working very strange. It was constantly freezing at the HTC logo (booting). After removing the battery for a few minutes, I could turn on the phone again. I tried rooting, it always failed. Then I tried installing 2.3 via HTC Dev official software. Followed all the instructions and had a RADIO_V2 - Fail PU. The RUU enters recovery mode: I unplug, remove battery for 3 seconds, then plug again and it runs the same procedure: RADIO_V2 - Fail PU again. I just tried 4x and nothing. The phone is bricked. If I try to boot holding volume down, it won't go to recovery, it just turns black with ! sign in all corners.
I am just afraid my Desire has some hardware problem, but in any case, now it is bricked. Any suggestions?

Download a recovery img for the phone, plug it in and run 'fastboot boot [recovery.img]' to boot into recovery or 'fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img] to flash and then boot into recovery.

If radio bricks were that easy to solve, then this would be a better world.

Bootloop, 7 vibrations, no recovery, only fastboot

Few days ago my HTC Desire restarted and never booted again since then. It was lying on a desk when I heard multiple vibrations.
No ADB, no recovery, only fastboot available. I can flash any partition without any problems. It's got S-OFF (with AlphaRev - I've already tried different partition table layouts).

I don't have any nandroid backups since the phone was working well with CM 7.1 for a few months.
Reflashing boot doesn't make the device boot any further.
I've been reading about similiar issues but none applied exactly to my problem. Do you think there is any chance of making my Desire work again? Asking here is probably my last chance so iz ask for halp.

I think you can use android flasher/fast boot to get recovery and then flash a rom

I've been also flashing recovery. Without any effect. :/

Look here, pretty much the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774330
Check it out and see if you can find something.

So I tried flashing latest 2.3 RUU from HTC dev site. In bootloader only radio version changed. It's still S-OFF. Splashscreen changed to stock HTC. Now after 7 vibrations phone restarts (it wasn't before).
I've also tried putting it into freezer but it didn't help I guess.
Any other ideas?

So, if you're still s-off flash alpharev downgrade hboot and run RUU again. That will overwrite hboot too so if there's a problem with it it will fix it.
If you don't get it repaired it's probably a hardware issue.

Still bootloop. So it's hardware problem after all. It sucks.
Anyway thanks for help. I really appreciate. I've bought HTC One V already.
