Hi guys.
I know there are several posts already opened about this, but I`ve tried all I read there and nothing worked.
I wanted to send my rooted Desire back for repairs(camera LED broken thanks to a Torch app), and wanted to unroot it before I do.
I`ve read on some posts that u can unroot the phone by running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU found on htcdev.com (the official RUU), so I downloaded the RUU, installed hTC Sync, installed the Desire`s USB drivers(the same one`s that are required when rooting with Revolutionary).
The RUU started installing, the phone rebooted into the HTC splash screen and the "update" of the RUU started going, both PC and phone showed the cursor of the installing process, and at about 90% the PC gave me an error (update error).
I`ve tried again and again to run the RUU but everytime, it failed. And now, my Desire just won`t boot. I`ve taken the battery out, put it back, turned it on, and the only thing that appers on the screen is the white HTC logo on a black background, with 4 icons in each corner of the screen(looks just like the icon that appears when u plug in the usb cable with USB debugging mode ON).
Volume-down+Power and BACK+Power don`t work anymore, even though I press them, the phone just simply ignores the keys and takes me back to the before mentioned hTC splash screen.
I know this is probably something I did wrong, but if there`s any one kind enough to help me out with this, I`d deeply appreciate it.
Thank you!

It doesn`t say anything.
This is what I do:
1. Take the battery out.
2. Put the battery back in place
3. Try turning phone on using: Volume-down+Power -> the phone doesn`t show anything, it simply takes me to the HTC logo(white HTC logo on black background. It does the same thing if I turn it on using BACK+Power)
If I try running the RUU again, the installer gives me the next message: Error[152]: image update error.
From what I`ve read, this is a radio error which can only be fixed by hTC. Could that be true?
Also, after the RUU gives me the above error, if I unplug the USB cable, the phone shows following:
*************
RUU
Radio_V2 - OK
Splash1 - OK
Recovery - OK
Splash2 - OK
Radio_cust - OK
Bootloader - Bypassed
Userdata - OK
System - Fail-PU
Boot - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
*************
I have the Alpharev CM7 r2 bootloader.
even if it is its covered by htc warranty so don't worry about it
I don`t think it coveres it, as the Alpharev CM7 R2 bootloader still shows.

oh you're still S-OFF?
You're automatically in fastboot when you turn on since your phone is like that so just turn it on, plug it in first flash this and then flash this, Then run the RUU again.
Yes, I`m still S-OFF.
How do I flash them if I can`t access recovery using Volume-down+Power or BACK+Power?
I`ve downloaded the first one, renamed it into PB99IMG.zip, put it on root of SD CARD, turned phone ON and it takes me to the same htc logo screen as before.

Tried with Android Flasher, but it gets stuck when trying to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img that u`ve given me.
So basically, I can`t enter Clockworkmod, I can`t enter the bootloader menu by turning on phone usine Volume-down+Power / Back+Power, and the phone is stuck in the HTC logo, while still S-OFF-ed, also the 2.3.3 official RUU gives me the error at the end of the installing process.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do?
Bortak, one million thanks for the help, patience and the time you`ve wasted.
I managed to pull it off in the end.
My desire lives again
And hey, if ever in Romania, let met know, got a couple of beer cases with your name on them
Thanks again, dude!
Peace.

I have the exact same problem as i_cs_u.
I tried to use an RUU to install 2.3, I have alpharev cm7r2 installed and I get stack on the same step as i_cs_u. I successfully flashed bravo_alphaspl.img with "fastboot boot bravo_alphaspl.img", but which partition do I flash bravo_downgrade.img to?
Flash bravo_downgrade.img and then the RUU.

Thanks for this. Returning desire tomorrow (switching networks) and forgot to resize and downgrade hboot before running ruu. Good job I ran into this thread for a reminder!

Did you read the whole thread????
yes but he says that he cant do anything and then in next post he says its solved. i dont know how he solved this?

He probably figured out that he has to use the fastboot flash boot *name of img* command or Android Flasher on that screen with the 4 ! At the corner instead of renaming to PB99IMG and attempting to flash it on the phone.

but i dont know how to do it from fastboot. i need an explaination of the process.

Let me see if I can explain.
I was running Opendesire 4.0.15 (had been rooted using Revoked on a Mac).
I had modified the recovery using Revoked using amon-ra's ps3 image so I have no proper recovery.
I notices using OD Updater that OD 4.0.16 was available, downloaded that and let it flash it itself.
Now the phone doesn't boot properly, I get the O2 splash screen then what looks like a dark grey screen with very thin vertical coloured bands then back to O2 splash.
It occasionally show the Android screen but not much else.
Once it got to the setup screen with the Touch Android to begin picture and the animated finger. However there was a FC on screen and the touchscreen didn't work, so I couldn't progress.
I can get into fast boot and even the modified recovery but I can't see what to do to get a rom onto it or get it to boot up so I can re revoke it for a proper recovery.
It seems if I leave it long enough it gets to the setup screen but no touch screen working. Then it re-boots.
Can anyone suggest how to get a proper recovery file on at least??
Any help gratefully received.
Edit
From Hboot I can see
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.83.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.10.05.17_2
Jun 10 2010,12.12.05
So it's an SLCD then?
Please help I can't afford another phone.
Thank you.
I can see the device from fastboot, (fastboot devices lists it by it's serial number)
is there any way for get either a new rom or even just recovery onto it from this commandline?
Anyone?
Please
this is what I get, any clues?
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash system od.zip

RUU see's it, (when I have it in bootloader) but when it runs through and reboots the phone, the phone sticks on an H T C screen and the pc is counting looking for bootloader but never sees it.
OK, got the HTC screen, unplugged USB, plugged it back in, ran RUU again, started uploading, green bar moving across screen, then it rebooted, waiting for bootloader, RUU then failed, black screen on phone now, no bootloader, no splashscreen nothing.
It vibrates if I hold power button, it doesn't if I hold back button or VOL down with power button.
Now it's dead.

what RUU did you flash it with?
sounds like you flashed it with a pre slcd screen RUU
the only O2 one I could find on here
RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865.exe
Now I can still get bootloader / fastboot working, I see it in my device manager and the fastboot command sees it again, is there anything I can do from there?
(damn thing is only 3 weeks old).
Thanks for reply btw
Managed to get a newer Froyo RUU to run to the same stage as I had before so now got a display back , hBoot 093 still for the borked recovery
is there anything I can do other than send it back to HTC?
thanks for reading, really really stuck here.
with files on sd card (pb999.img etc) it now checks those then says CID incorrect
where is it getting stuck now?
is this a branded device? (if unbranded was it branded before)
what did you flash it with?
Is your gold card present?
what os are you using to flash it?
Have you tried using the downgrade utility to flash it back to a version of 2.1? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Hello again )
ok it now just goes to the white screen with the 3 androids skateboarding I have have hboot or fastboot, I don't know the significance of those.
if I select recovery it goes to amonra's poc-psfreedom so I can't even reflash it from there
it was originally an O2 UK phone so has the O2 bubbles on screen
I don't have a gold card :i(
I run a mac but I have installed xp on bootcamp to try to resolve this.
I can see the phone is device manager as Android USB Device - My HTC
It boots to the white screen now when I plug in the usb cable
it had been running happily on OpenDesire 4.0.15 with no problem, but when I called the updater to bring it to 4.0.16 it turned into this mess.
the downgrade utility requires a gold card doesn't it? I don't have one (
edit - more info
the RUU file I have tried again is
RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
it tells me it will go from image version 1.20.207.3
to image version 2.14.207.1
it starts and brings a black screen onto the phone with HTC on it, starts working then fails with erroe 171 usb connection error. (perhaps I need a different usb driver installed?)
edit again - if I unplug the usb cable I get the white screen but only RUU but pull battery and get fastboot hboot back
Hold the press
I think I've recovered it now.
Using that RUU, everytime it stalled out and said waiting for bootloader I tapped the power button and it continued, flashed the whole thing now I seem to have an official O2 Froyo!
Thanks for your input mate.
i dont know how you uninstall that psfreedom stuff, people should just buy the dongle and not risk bricking their mobile phones.
Try intalling the latest version of htc sync or use a pure windows pc rather than bootcamp see if that rectifies it.
its not hard to create a goldcard if you have a microsd slot, I do recommend you make one using the tool from modaco. and try using the downgrader. it could be that the psnation tool is conflicting the the bootloader now its .93
EDIT: was on a call mid type and posted this while you have replied.
Glad its sorted
It's sorted now, thank you.
Dongle is in the post mate.
I really appreciate your input there, I was feeling kinda lonely!
Now it's on what appears to be O2 official Froyo, means no root, DOH!
Cheers fella.
you can use the downgrader tool to downgrade hboot and firware.
then you can root and flash a rooted 2.2 405 rom like the one teppic made
it would then be on the latest 2.2 for EU and be rooted with a compatible hboot
im on hboot 93, im waiting for unrevoked. they seem to be taking an age
You are a genius, I'll have a play tonight.
Thanks mate. - SUPERSTAR -

Hi lininjim ,
I have the same issue as you mention. i get to hboo screen and nothing works beyond that. how did you get your phone to recognize with RUU. coz mine just stays in htc logo and RUU does not recognize it at all...
Vinod
1. Posting in a thread that's one year old is not very useful.
2. Look in troubleshooting guide.
Sorry to say it worked exactly as I posted mate and I got rid of the Android phones back in March.
Sorry I can't help.
Yesterday the problem started with boot loops. I took the SD CARD out and teh boot loop stopped and rebooted fine.
So i went to gparted and cleaned ext3 and deleted all files in fat except clockwork folder
then i did a nandroid restore and everyhting was fine till today
Today in the middle o the game pool break demo it shut down
no more boot loop just stuck at htc logo
bootloader works fine
but when i go to my clockword recovery, same thin, get stuck at htc logo
phone is unbranded
what can i do now?
i took out sd card like last time and booted still stuck at htc logo
bootloader works though
Since clockwork mode do not work i dont know how i can recover the phone.
is it possible to do some recovery with usb cable and android SDK?
Please Help
Edit: Will pay £5 to the person who helped me sort it out.
i don't suppose that you are S-off. if not boot in hboot by shutting down the phone(or removing the battery). press volume down+power on. go to 3d option which says "clear storage", press power on. confirm via power up. let it do it's thing.
report back.

i am afraid that you will have to restore your desire to factory settings via PB method or RUU.
can you post details of your phone like radio, firmware, locked-unlocked, branded-unbranded etc?

Ok i just read on another thread.
Fast boot is press back button and power on. I can see Fastboot in red written
Volume down i cant see Fastboot written. IT says hboot.
so i am installing htc sync 3.0 now
once installed
-i trun phone using back button into fastboot mode
- plug usb cable
- run the ex u gave me
So you sure hboot 0.93 can be rooted with unrevoked.
Last time i had 0.83 and i had to do crazy things to go back to 0.80 so i could root
yes i'm sure

Let me just start off by saying poop.
I've been reading up on these forums quite a lot, equipping myself with enough knowledge to get going on using this phone to its potential.
After the anticipation of getting my DHD, I went about rooting it. I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076.
Everything went fine without much trouble. I completed all the steps in rooting it and gaing SU access. Also installed the Clockwork Recovery mod without a hiccup. I went on to install the Android Revolution ROM and going through the guide I used a tool called: 'Easy Wipe Upgrade.'
After installing this zip, the phone reboot and it just refuses to budge. Stuck on the HTC splash screen.
I've held down the bottom volume button with power and it gets me into HBOOT. I've tried a variety of option such as factory resets and nothing seems to be working.
My luck and phones. Just have a very expensive brick now sitting on my desk. Ah
I'd appreciate any help I can get please. Thanks.
I managed to resolve it!
Just FYI. Mounted the USB (Which was hidden fairly deeply) I guess you don't look when you panic? I then dropped on the ROM and installed it and boot up took a while but voila, it worked!
Well done, I would go mental if I bricked my phone. That's why I am still just reading up rather than trying things.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
in the exact same situation as you where Could you go into abit more detail how you resolved this? currently have no phone cheers
whats wrong with your phone mate
Just so you know, as long as you have access to the bootloader (can be stock bootloader with S-ON, doesn't matter), 99% of the time you can 'unbrick' your phone by installing a stock RUU (PD98IMG.zip method) which returns your phone to complete stock.
If you install the wrong RUU while ENG HBOOT S-OFF then you can potentially fudge up your phone for good (unless you have Radio S-OFF, then you are fine - just install the correct RUU).
So don't worry, because there is nearly always a way to go back to how your phone was before you started hacking it.

hey guys, hope u could help me out.. i tried this RD1945's method.. got an ruu file, renamed the ruu file, then i put it on my micro sd card using a reader, then i plug it back in my phone, run hboot, the hboot parsed the zip file which i renamed according to the steps.. after it parsed it brought me back to the fastboot, recovery, restore factory defaults menu, etc... which i then chose fastboot then reboot... it reboots but im still stuck at the htc white splash screen for some time now.. what am i doin wrong? does it take long to start? sorry im a noob can someone explain to me how its done properly?

You are not supposed to rename the RUU file, rather you run the RUU file and then afterwards locate the ROM.zip file located in your temp folder. This ROM.zip file is meant to be renamed PD98IMG.zip, NOT the RUU file.
ok that was stupid of me.. ok will try to give it a go..
sorry if this sounds stupid to you again.. but, i just wana be sure.. its my first smartphone..
anyway, i run the ruu file on my pc, yeah? so then when i run it, it asks me to connect my dhd using the usb cable.. so i did... but it couldnt detect my phone.. thus, it couldnt continue it's setup.. ;-( thank you for helping out..
Make sure you install HTC Sync, it should also install all the DHD USB drivers needed.
hey, do you have any step by step guide on doing this? im afraid il do something wrong again and just risk messing up the phone even more..

Did u have a Look here...this shows the method and its very self explanatory
Hello
First off: I'm not an D Inc user myself (i'm an x10) but I am trying to fix a friends verizon dInc
Second: I have tried searching for hours(plus yesterday) and have not come up with a solution.
My problem: The phone was in a bootloop that was stuck in the HTC Incredible splash screen.
Research/Tried Methods:
- I have tried hboot: it is version .92 and radio is 2.0.15 S-ON
- I have used doug piston's original BP31IMG stock rom on hboot
- Have tried RUU but won't recognize the device at all because i can't really turn the phone on
- Have tried to flash CWM recovery 2.5 and 3.0 but its just stuck on "Checking BP31IMG.zip" using hboot and still nada ( Could i be using the wrong files? )
-hboot problem: Phone finds the BP31IMG.zip checks, parses, and asks me to "Update" --> i press vol+ to yes...
I then see a blue dot on [1]Bootloader then quickly after BLACKSCREEN
The phone doesnt boot after that. I've tried it multiple times but to no avail.
Can anyone please point me to the proper steps.
Thank you very much!

From past experience, I know that you can use the RUU in hboot. If you haven't yet, give that a whirl.
just attempted your pointer
But now that i boot into hboot, the setup from where it left off is continuing.
EXCEPT: Radio_V2 FAILED...this doesn't sound good but scared to stop the setup
EDIT: Said Partition Update Failed
Perhaps try pulling the battery and retrying. After just throwing my own phone into hboot, I realized that it was actually fastboot that I meant to say works (first option in hboot). But if not that, I'd say something is fried. Did your friend mess up a radio update because thats a sure way to brick a phone.
Edit: After a little googling, here is something a person with a desire said fixed it for them.

That won't work fastboot option only allow you to reboot on the Dinc...Make sure that the Pb31Img is @176mb and it should ask you to update after it reads the file
yup im sure its @176MB from doug pistons site
it did ask me to update..everything worked except radio_v2 which failed
rendering the whole update a fail
and now it wont even boot hboot :'(
Hi!
First off, I've been searching for the answer all afternoon, but with no luck.
Here's the thing. My GF borrowed my friends old Desire, because her Legend broke.
When we tried to boot it up, it was stuck at the white HTC screen. So i entered Hboot and tried to use recovery with no luck. Recovery was also stuck at white screen.
My friend had removed his SD card before we borrowed the phone. Could that be the problem? Both me and my friend are pretty new to rooting/flashing. All the info he could give me, was that he was running some Modaco rom, and had used Unrevoked to root the phone.
I tried to download a Modaco rom and rename it PB99IMG.ZIP and putting it at the root of our own SD card. No luck.
Then i tried to put the update.zip (CWM file) with the hope that I could then load recovery. Also no luck.
Also tried to plug in USB cable, so that I could maybe wipe phone and install a new RUU. USB was recognized in Hboot (HBOOT USB PLUG status), but no access gained on the computer. I have manually installed drivers.
My friend lives a bit far away. So is there a way I can solve this without his SD card?
Thanks in advance!

bortak> Awesome guide, will check it out right away!
Okay, so now i followed bortaks guide. Created a gold card, downloaded latest recommended RUU, and then ran it while connected with fastboot usb.
At first i had problems when the RUU rebooted the bootloader. The phone shut down and disconnected instead of rebooting. Tried a few times, and finally got the installation to move on by keeping the phone "alive" through pressing vol buttons -although with a black screen.
But by 29%, while updating radio, the installation froze. After some time i unplugged USB and let the installation fail. So now I'm stuck with the four triangles with exclamation marks. I can run the RUU again and again, but it keeps freezing at various stages of installation.
What to do? It's not bricked, so there must be hope?
Can I take a different approach? Through ADB perhaps?
Thanks again!
RUU installation keeps freezing on my pc! Tried to click vol button to perhaps keep the phone "alive", but then I got error 155
Can't seem to find anything on Google about RUU installs that freezes - do any of you know what to do? Can't I use ADB or anything to flash the ROM?

So I can have bricked the radio - but the phone will still respond?

unfortunately yes, if you unplug the phone and turn it on, it should boot in RUU mode, at what point does it say FAIL! ?
if it is on the radio, then I'm afraid it's bricked.. if you managed to luck out somehow and it isn't, then you could try again.
When i turn it on, the black splash screen with exclamation marks comes on. If i try to turn it on with usb cable plugged in while running XP mode on virtual machine, i see the white screen with version informations. But it only says RUU with an orange background.
Tried to install the new Gingerbread RUU from the HTC hp, but it still freezes. Think I'm out of luck
hmm... stick your phone in the freezer (in a plastic bag) for 5-10 minutes then try again.
I know it may sound strange.. but it may be overheating or something.
Whoever you borrowed this from will not be happy haha

Which RUU are you trying to install?
I had the same issue when I realised I was trying to install a 2.1 RUU on my desire which was a bit silly, I had identical problems. used the correct 2.2 RUU and all ok
voodooboy3000 - Was trying to install official 2.3 Gingerbread RUU.
elliottg61 - It was crashing all the time when he had it, so he said i could have it if I could fix it. I couldn't
I would give the original firmware a go and get it back to stock. was it originally locked to a specific provider? if not use this RUU

Your not even s-off. How did he use anything to root. Granted my experience is with the bravoC. The GSM I'm sure is different. I would find the newest ruu available and try to flash that from hboot. If it takes forever go away. Don't touch it. Don't unplug it. Don't do anything till its done. If it wont flash after 30 minutes your screwed I think. U can try it over again. But if u have an official ruu it should flash no problem. If it gonna flash.
Try flashing a shooter port on the og evo, or flash a rom on the shooter. It can seem to hang on you for a while but it just takes time.
Edit: try this just rename it and stick on root of SD card and boot phone with volume down and power and then leave it be.
