Hboot 0.83 & S-ON & No Recovery and No Booting OS - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I looked at similar threads but couldn't solve my problem, which is;
I was using custom rom with data2ext tools without any problems. I just realized that although my RomManager's Clockworkmod recovery version was 5.0.2.0, i see 2.5.0.7 on the recovery screen. Then i found that my desire went to S-ON back.
While i was trying to make S-OFF, i used AlphaRev, first step was ok, then it restarted the phone, saying "waiting for bootloader". Even after the Hboot screen comes up, it didn't get further. I tried another tools, such as Revolutionary, but it says "Hboot 0.83 is not supported". I can not use fastboot tool also since i am S-ON. When i try to flash anything (recovery.img, boot.img etc.) it gives the famous "...malformed.." error.
So now i can only enter HBoot and Fastboot screen. When i enter recovery, it freezes on HTC Logo on the white screen. When i restart the phone normally, it again freezes on the same screen.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a Desire GSM? If yes, flash 2.3.3 RUU and then use Revolutionary.

Yes, i have Desire GSM. Now i am downloading the RUU exe. I hope the correct one

Ok. After a bricked sd card, i made a new gold card Flashed a WWE RUU via PB99. Then root, s-off. Now i am able to install anything
Thanx again

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!

( Q ) bricked HTC desire

Dear Experts,
Yesterday while updating my friends HTC desire, the phone got bricked.. here is the chronology of events that went thru.. the phone was updated to 2.3.3 using official ROM exe.
* I successfully S-off the phone using revolutionary but could not push superuser, I tried using unrevoked but could not.
* I unfortunately, thinking that the phone was already on s-off gave it a hboot data++ to install cooked ROM, the phone stopped update giving error E:signature verification failed and since then it hasn't went beyond HTC logo and later booting itself to recovery automatically..
* I tried hboot from alpharev 1.8 stock and downgrade but the phone does not respond.
* tried to use the exe to run on pc but phone isn't detected, tried even after extracting the ROM to update official ROM via sdcard but same signature verification failed error. Gold card hasn't been made for the phone, I have tried to push amonra but doesn't work either..
Plz help...
Thanks..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936

I have installed this one, i hope this works for you.
I used unrevoked as well as reflash package..
But none are responding now.. the phone just boots into recovery. Plz help..

You are fully aware that this forum section is for HTC Desire aka Bravo and not HTC DesireS aka Saga right?
via xda app
Sorry my mistake...
@ibraahim: it's very important for us to know which recovery you are using. Due to your description I'm sure the zip you wanted to install wasn't signed so you have to disable the signature verification in your recovery.
I guess you are using the clockworkmod (cwm) recovery or the AmonRA recovery because they are very popular. If you have the cwm recovery (the name and version are displayed on the top of the recovery, like ClockworkMod 5.x.x.x....) choose install zip form sd card and afterwards toggle signature verification.
If you have the AmonRA recovery (name and version are displayed on the bottom of your recovery, like Build: RA-desire-v.2.x.x) choose other and afterwards toggle signature verify.

[Q] Phone won't boot past the HTC logo screen!

Heya! I tried to go back to Stock completely. And probably messed up big time... I simply downloaded a Europe RUU from Shipped Roms and installed it on my Desire.
This is the RUU I downloaded: http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...io_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684.exe
My HTC Desire is from Denmark, in Europe, if that matters
So, it seems like everything was installed correctly and it ended saying that it'd reboot my phone, but now it doesn't get past the logo.
I try to boot into bootloader (I think it's called? ), the power + vol down, and I can get into that. But I can't fastboot or boot into recovery... So not sure what to do from there...
I've used unRevoked to s-off and root my phone. I've been running CM7 till now.
Please help

Try with 2.3 RUU, or try bortak's guide.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Bortak's guide? Do you have a link? EDIT: I was looking at this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632 - but I can't see what stage my phone would be at.. :/
- As I said, it won't get past the HTC logo, so the computer won't recognize it. I can't install a new RUU, I tried... :/
I don't know where I can find v. 2.3 either, I couldn't see it on shipped roms
As I said, I am stuck at the HTC screen, but I can load it up into bootloader, and when I try to go to Recovery, it just starts up at the HTC screen again, stuck.
First post hboot/fastboot screen info
2) was phone s-off prior RUU?
3) Is your phone recognised in fastboot mode via USB cable? -boot phone power+back button to fastboot, connect USB cable and run in cmd or terminal "fastboot devices" without quotes-bear in mind htc sync must be uninstalled and unrevoked drivers installed.

Yeah, my phone was S-OFF and rooted when I tried to install the RUU
This is what my bootloader screen says:

HBOOT USB PLUG
then the menu.
I get the Android Bootloader Interface pop-up on my computer when I plug it in in Bootloader.
I have uninstalled HTC Sync, but not sure if my UNrevoked drivers are still installed. Trying the power down + back button, this is in power + vol down.
When I have it in fastboot (Went from the power + vol down to the fastboot option.) it pops up as "My HTC" in my device management (I'm on Windows 7 64-bit)
It says that fastboot is an unrecognized program when I try to run it from CMD.
My desire says "FASTBOOT USB", surrounded by red color.
Have you downloaded fastboot? Go to bortak's guide and download it from resources, fastboot.zip
Sent from my Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
Then download hboot downgrade from alpharev.nl, folow instructions there then you can run RUU, use 2.29.405 WWE, if not branded

Okay, I installed the fastboot from Bortak's guide, installed Android SDK as well (to be safe) and went and did the alpharev.nl stuff. Flashed HBOOT Downgrader and I installed the WWE 2.29.405 RUU.
Everything's coooool and working it seems!
Thanks man

I was struck in this same situation about a month ago. First of all My desire was S-OFF with stock hboot at that time. This is what i did at that time:laugh:
You need to go to alpharev site and download the Bravo Downgrader. Download Fastboot commander from the forum. And boot your desire in fastboot mode and connect it to pc. And flash the bravo downgrader file via fastboot commander. And then you can install any RUU assuming your desire is unbranded if not you need to make a goldcard.
Hope this helps.

stuck in bootscreen

Hey there,
i actually own a Htc sensation, but my cousin wanted to s off and root his desire, which went all fine.
Now after a year, he wanted to send in his Desireto maintenance, and asked me to to return everything to stock. According to the guides, it was said that is would be sufficient to simply flash a stock ruu to S-on und unroot again.
I flashed the stock ruu via pc, and followed all the instructions. It says flash successful and i can use the desire again.
There goes the trouble, the phone wont boot up anymore only white boot screen with htc logo, no bootloop or anything similiar, all i can access is the bootloader ?
Am i missing something ? can someone help me out please ?
The bootloader says the following :
REVOLUTIONARY
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL SYNT0101
RADIO 4.05.00.11
This is was it given after flashing the officiall ruu , recovery cant be started anymore as well
any help would be appreciated
First you need to flash downgrade hboot from:
www.alpharev.nl
And flash it via fastboot.
Then download 2.3 ruu from htcdev (you have an explanation how to get in my signature) and run it from your PC. Then you'll get s-on and stock and working 2.3 on your device.

That did it, thank you !

Stucked Desire

After two years away from Desire i'm back !!
One device came into my hands with the following problems.
No booting. Stuck in HTC green logo.
Stock recovery not working, remains on HTC green logo. (The same happens after flashing from fastboot a custom recovery)
It has unlocked hboot from htcdev with version 1.03.0003.
It has CID TELUS001. (I tried to PB99IMG.zip to reinstall TELUS rom and after check of the zip goes back to hboot menu)
By RUU with GoldCard gives error in RUU.
The fly in the garbage ?
I think you'll have to search for a guide how to downgrade hboot 1.03.0003 first
I've not done it myself, but seen guides here.
Then flash the 2.3.3 GB RUU.
finaly with some attemps (5 or 6) with 2.3 Gingerbread RUU the device worked fine.
BUT it suffers with overheating problem... works only in refrigeration.
