[Q] Un root HTC Bravo...

First off, Yes I have searched more than this site for an answer to the point where my handset would not do anything but go into the recovery menu.
What I want to do is put stock HTC Android on my Desire.
Currently it is rooted but has to be un rooted to go onto works E Mail server. Yes I know it makes no difference but my employer insist on official firmware on handsets.
The handset is a GSM HTC Desire (Bravo)
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP 2-ON
HBOOT-093.0001
CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY v2.5.0.7
I have tried several RUU's only to be told of a boot loader error.
Can some one please tell me how this is done?
I asked my network and they could not help so unless some one can help me im going to have to ask HTC.
THANKS in advance
RICK

Hi,
I've seen a few posts that refer to getting the HTC ROM changing it's name to PB99.img (or similar or ...) Then reoot the phone. Try searching the forums for this type of solution. I'm sorry but can't remember where I saw it in here.
Regards
Colin

I have just tried to use http://shipped-roms.com/download.php...828_signed.exe but it returned a boot loader error... 140 I think

Thanks for you input mate

Hmmm,
How would they know if the HTC Sense ROM just happened to be rooted. One could argue that the ROM was a valid HTC ROM. I know it's semantics but ...
The "About phone" would still show HTC as the ROM.
There must already be a variety of ROMs on HTC desires already used in your company.

The Clockwork recovery would give it away mate.

This might work for you Not sure if you have tried it but try again
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named PB99IMG, there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off. (MAKE SURE PHONE IS CHARGED TO AT LEAST 70%++
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

Oh, one more thing, that error you get i think it is because you don't have a GoldCard. You need one to do the above too

Yup, "ERROR 140:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR" The only time you can put a lower bootloader version is when you have a gold card.

The above method posted by Shockem should work. A second method is to just put a gold card in your device and get the latest WWE RUU. Check my signature for the file. Once a gold card is in, it will work. Note that this method unbrands your device, so if you a branded device with visible logos, dont go for this.
Third method is by flashing the OTA zip file you got from your operator if you have it. Again gold card should be in the device. But is is likely that it may also work without since CustID is same. Advantage: preserves branding

So do I still need a gold card even though my device is rooted?

Certainly.........

Point is you say you've tried several RUUs and they dont work..Hence we have to assume it's a branded phone. HTC even brands some phones with the brand HTC (Eg Indian HTCs). To unroot a branded HTC, you need a goldcard.

i had same problem, i was trying for days till i rememberd that i can downgrade hboot, install android 2.1 and ota update froyo. ( if your desire wasnt branded you dont need goldcard). problem was that i couldnt find stock froyo, only eclair
this thread helped me :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
i hope it helps

Point is some people (including me in the past) dont realize that they have a branded phone. There may not be any visible branding. So better be safe than sorry, by creating a goldcard.. Once the device if bricked, you cant (in most cases) create a goldcard

Thank you all so much.
I'll be doing this tonight.

[Q] Got rom but cant reboot normally.

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

[Q] [SOLVED] Desire CDMA ADR6275 Bricked ! (GSM Radio Brick)

I was trying to Hboot different table and some radio and I accidently brick my phone.
When I try to turn it on it just vibrates for a second and nothing shows up just blank black screen. Help ME Please !
I have managed to show the info in the fastboot commander. I can flash radio h-boot spl and recovery here. I can shut down phone from this software and it shows charging light as well.
But still blank on boot. Can any body help me to make it usable

Sorry to say, but I think you bricked it. You can't flash GSM radios and partition tables to the CDMA Desire.

Is there any way that I can unbrick it ?

Hmm... i dont know when its CDMA.but i think this may fix it. Okay you need to download fastboot commander from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
then you need to download official htc desire RUU it may work for CDMA too (i think) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915 download the "HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade"
Allright now you got the downloads. You also need Java and the HTC driver if you dont got that. Pull battery out of your phone and set it back again. Connect your phone to your pc (dont turn it on you shold just hear that sound when windows found your device) open fastboot commander program on your pc and go to the tab "boot, sys and userdata" mark all the stuff you can and press remove or something like that
Your phone is only a black screen when you turn it on, dont worry. Open the RUU program now and follow the instructions to revert to android 2.3. I hope that helpe if not let me know what didnt worked and i may help you a little more.

Not if its really bricked, such as a radio brick, which you more than likely have.
You can try flashign a CDMA RUU like suggested above, but keep your fingers crossed.

I'm pretty sure even flashing a different SPL from alpharev would've done a great job of bricking it...

Yes it probably would

Before doing anything that u guyz have suggested would this thing help that i got? This is RUU_Bravo_C_Froyo_USCC_WWE_2.11.573.5_Radio_2.15.00.11.16_release_168495_signed.exe which is sized 171mb. I dounloaded it. What is this thing anyway. Could anyone explain ?
I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947961

its an RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) to upgrade the rom.

What was a guy who doesnt know what an RUU is, doing flashing Hboots?

will u tell me if it has to do anything to make my phone work ?

Like we said earlier, you can try. We can't tell you if it will work o not as your phone may be bricked. However, it should give you failure codes, which may give us more information.
Theres no harm in trying. It probably is bricked anyway.

Good thing about Alpharev hboot is that they lock it so that one doesnt accidentally flash a wrong hboot.. See if you can get into hboot mode (Vol- Power)...If it's still black, use the PB99IMG.zip method of flashing RUUs.. I wont elaborate. They are a dozen threads on it do/
Don't flash an ruu now.

I'm not sure how to fix your problem but I don't believe it's bricked. It is sooo hard to brick these things. I have thought a million times that mine was bricked, just be patient search forums (not just xda) and read a lot. That's the beautiful thing about the internet. You are bound to find many people that have gone through what you are and have fixed it. I will look a little for you but i'm not on that much so I don't know how much help that can be. If your search doesn't provide useful information try changing your keywords. I'll post again later tonight with what I have found if you haven't figured it out already. Good luck.

This RUU is giving me error 110 Cant open file when it is on 60-70 %. I downloaded it forn HTC support the other time and againg the same error. Then I tried to do another RUU from alltel but this gave me error that this was not supported. Help !

Did you flash RUU via computer or via SD card?

cant install any ruu to htc desire cdma

I dont know if someone here has posted something similar but i got a huge problem with my damn htc desire, it is cdma ive tried to install the ruu froyo but it wont let me it says model id error or cid incorrect i have made the damn goldcard and it doesn't work, this phone is pissing the hell out of me. i cant do nothing with it. could someone here tell me plz some way to install an compatible ruu. the phone only boots to fastboot, i can change it to hboot but from there nothing. plz can someone here help me i;m losing my mind.

give us some details then we MAY be able to help you.. we're not friggin' magicians here..
Firstly, the RUU's didn't work because my best bet is that you were using RUU for Bravo and not BravoC (your model) - Hence modelID error.
Secondly, if you're rooted, then you're more than likely S-OFF too so you can probably just fix it, look on my guide. (DO NOT FLASH ANY HBOOTS)

to stop us working double on this, please choose either this thread, or http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/475726-cant-install-any-ruu-htc-desire-cdma.html
It gets annoying trying to help people in several different places.
My suggestion is to stay on XDA as Bortak knows his stuff and will probably be able to help. On AF you may get stuck with me and I just havent the time.

Oooh rootSu sorry didnt knew that androis forums where from here too, my apologies for that. Ummm ok the problem. I got this htc desire bravo_c it was rooted but my brother told me that the phone started on bootloop. Then I exactly didnt knew what he did but then he said the phone was with black screen. Ok I tried some guides from here, the only problem was that it happened like some guy said here, I tried to do an ruu rom but when it started doing the progress when It was at 20% it stopped and now the phone boots only in fastboot. After the ruu now I can see whats happening with the phone but like I said it only boots on fast boot. Oh other thing now the phone is S-on and the hboot is 0.98. Let me know if u need some more details. Ill let u kno,. And sorry again for the other forum.

There aren't that many resources for the bravoC so you've got limited options. As far as I know there is one BravoC RUU on shipped-roms.Com, but if it's not for your network provider I don't know whether it wouldn't just break your phone..
If it is the right RUU for your network then great, use it and hope for the best. If it isn't then stay away from it and contact HTC.
you should root and s-off your phone (when/if you fix it/get it back from repair), so that these sort of problems can be sorted out easily without any hiccups.

well this sucks umm if i contact htc they will probably say to send the phone right? man i was hoping i could fix it with the guides here i really have bad luck.
So the best thing to do now is just to contact htc and wait for what they have to say. thanks for the help, sorry for posting this thread like that, it wasn't my intention to make anyone mad or anything, its just that i was so desperate that i wanted someone to help me.

Sorry I'm not mad and it IS a different forum. But sometimes I end up helping on AF and someone else helps here and we end up either
a) both duplicating each others work
b) taking different approaches.
The risk then is you take some advise from here, some advise from there, put it all together and end up bricking your phone.

I understand thanks for the help. I called htc they told me that i have to call tomorrow because Im from Puerto Rico and their offices are close today so I gotta check tomorrow to see if they are open.

dude i have a htc cdma i rooted. installed cm7 on there..took me like 10 minutes

Stuck in HTC-Screen

Hey,
I'm one of the "lucky" guys with the blackscreen problem on the WFS... Thanks to rajanand
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781105
So now I'm able to flash new roms But it seems to me that only Android 2.3.5 Roms are running.
If I try to flash an ICS Rom i get stuck in the HTC Boot Screen. I tried to flash a new Kernel from a 2.3.5. Rom that was working (.sense Rom, AND YES I know that was a stupid idea ) This took me from the HTC Bootscreen to a blackscreen. This blackscreen is also visible in [email protected]
Trying a CM7.2 Rom with the same procedure written above I am able to see the CM7.2 load animation, but the device gets stuck in this animation.
So I hope that someone has an idea what I can do.
I already tried a superwipe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565263). I take a factory-reset/cach wipe/dalvik wipe for granted.
My Hboot version is 1.09.0099. As several Posts said that the bootloader should be updeted, I tryed to find a newer one as the version seen above, but I was not able to find that newer version.
Thanks for your help.
PS:
I hope I did not overlook a Post that could have helped me.....
