hey i have got same problem help us..

ONLY USE THIS METHOD, IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WOLRD WIDE ENGLISH FROYO BEING INSTALLED
Could possibly be because your using the wrong RRU or something like that, I'm no expert and I'm not sure what your exact problem is, however I know I had that problem and this is how I fixed it.
1) Download this version of Froyo 2.2 (Latest Release From HTC)
2) Rename it to PB99IMG and place it on the Root of you SDCard on your phone.
3) Boot into HBoot by Holding Vol-Down while Powering On
4) HBoot should automatically find the PB99IMG file and start to update your phone, this will take around 30 seconds for HBoot to get ready, and find the file so be patient and don't touch anything.
Hope this helped that version of Froyo isn't rootable, so after installing search for the Desire Downgrade package on XDA for a Downgrade to Eclair which is Rootable.
*Make sure that the PB99IMG file is in .zip format, otherwise it won't work.
** The file you are downloading was made by HTC, but is hosted on a website called Shipped-Roms. They have a rubbish server (to the UK anyway) so you may experience slow downloads.
*** If you have any other problems, do not hesitate to ask me.
**** The black screen you experienced was an Error Recovery screen. Very rare, but happens in worse case scenario.
*****The thread you used to try and make your own fix, used a file designed for a different scenario. It was a wrong RRU.
******If you get an Incorrect CID Error whilst running the update you need a Goldcard, follow my easy tutorial here.

I take it you are all ignoring me? I took my time to write a detailed way on how to fix your problem however if you are not interested in trying it then how are you ever going to fix your device?

help me. i cant fix anyway.

Did you try what jaaystott said to try? Saying what you have tried will help big time otherwise were just taking wild stabs in the dark here. Be more specific other than "help, needs fixing now!!!!!!!!!".
Download this RUU, run it and read what it says. The RUU might go into recovery and fix your issue, it did for me when I had the wrong partition table. Using a Goldcard might help as well if you get the CID error.

how to using GoldCard?
Any links about it.

anyone help me?

i am waiting. anyone help me. Please

Have you tried what has been previously mentioned in this thread?
What errors are you getting?
What rom are you using?
What rom was originally on the phone?
To get help, you need to supply more details.

yes. when i try, phone report me CID error.

Ok, you need a goldcard.
If you do a search, you will find many posts giving instructions on how to do this.

Ohh.. i cant do it.
i have found some way to make goldcard. but every way need phone must start froyo or another os. but my phone frozen on htc screen. it cant start os. how can i make goldcard?

Do you know anyone else with a Desire or Android phone?
You could put your sdcard in it to create the goldcard.
If you manage to get one, you could use 'gold card helper' from the market.

no anyone.
ok maybe i will do it. what will i do after?

Follow the instructions that are in other threads to create a goldcard.
Have a look at...

what does this mean?

can anyone tell me why my htc desire is stuck at this screen when i put in the battery?
-- 1 minute later --
well, i can't post a pic since not allowed to link until after 8 posts
it looks like a boot screen with 3 android dudes on the bottom.
any ideas?

Your stuck at the bootloader. Means that there is no boot.img. You've done something to it. Just flash a rom and it'll be fine. Don't forget to wipe data.

ok, thats positive news so far
the things is, i think its water damage but not much water at all really. just a bit from snowing while skiing.
the power and volume buttons do not seem to respond AND the ohone turns on by itself when i insert the battery.
is it still just a case of 'flash a ROM'? or is there more?

oh, and here is the image..... finally,

You don't have root or a custom recovery, correct? You just want to go back to the stock Froyo?

I think if the power buttons don't work it may be a bit of a problem selecting options in that menu, since the power button works as "select" in that menu.
I think you could boot to recovery using command prompt, but I am not 100% sure about that.
Also, are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery installed?

What is 'Kali CM7 Apps2SD'? Is that just another name for S2E?

Do you have a note of which rom was installed in your device? Is it carrier locked? Branded?

Select the newest RUU that fits your phone & carrier from http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/. Extract the ROM, rename to PB99IMG.zip, place in root dir of sd-card and reboot. Should do everything else automatically.

don't really follow the whole ROM question?
my phone has android v2.2, is NOT branded, is NOT locked and NO rooting.

and i should add that i am sweden if that matters.

The file you download from shipped roms is an exe file. When you execute the file it will extract a couple of files to your harddrive. Among those is a file named ROM.zip. That's the one you're looking for.
When I extracted it the file was here C:\Users\*User Name*\AppData\Local\Temp\{722DC7D5-7B69-4EBC-B6FB-B63AE38C01DE}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
The ROM on shipped ROMs are all the standard carriers version that are unmodified.

Yeah but there are different versions of 2.2 depending on carriers etc, thats why I was asking!
I *think* any of the ROMS here with RUU at the beginning & WWE in the filename should work. (I am not 100% sure about this, as I have not had an official rom installed for AGES).
You will then have to follow sonoftobit's instructions I think, don't ask me how to extract the ROM though, as I don't know how to do it!
PS sonoftobit - Ignore this liquidmonkey!
If you go to the CM7 nightly thread and go to the 2nd post, Kali has a script for enabling Apps2SD. That is what I am running, tried to use S2E but it screwed things up royally and I had to restore a Nandroid!

Yeah, I had the same problems with S2E. I'm using DarkTremor App2SD now which has worked flawlessly ever since (both Sense Froyo and CM7). Also there's A2SDGUI for DarkTremor now which makes it even better.

why on earth would you write that?

so check it out!!!
i have had the phone off for a few more days and then put in the battery and BANG, it started up after a little while.
problem was that my battery only lasted 10 seconds so i was not able to fully test things.
then i put the battery in again and i was back where i started, crappy boot screen.
is there something in the phone that keeps memory of the boot screen and then disapates after a day which would explain why it started today.... or?

Htc one sv - question

Hi I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I bought the above phone and when I turn it on it seems to be some sort of development phone , and when I look at things like software information it says protected next to it. What I was wondering is will I be able to update this phone normally as and when software is available or will I have any sorts of problems or restrictions with it?
Thanks in advance.

Its possible it's been rooted and s-off, it's best to look in your app drawer and look for a app called "su" or turn off phone the hold vol down and power at the same time. You will go into boot loader, at the top if it say "s-off" then it's rooted and no way to do official updates but that's ok rooted /custom roms are better

Yes it means it didnt go through HTC Dev Unlock,(phone is still factory unlocked) and you have engineer Hboot(s-off) also you are SUPERCID, either a stock rom got flashed and removed "SU" or it could be called "superuser" check if you have that

It means you boot loader is locked. The person who you bought the phone from, just put the phone back to stock.

Well the previous owner never did HTC Unlock, cause it would say "relocked" if he did a relock on the phone

Definitely no super user or su
So I should be unlocked for any network .
Does it matter if the boot loader is locked?
When I look at things like software version or processor etc it says protected , do you know why?
Also are there any Roms for this phone already do you know.

no that is Sim Unlock, SUPERCID and S-off means you are region free from the phone(superCID), and you have Fastboot capabilites(s-OFF)
i dont know if there is Roms for your phone, best choice is to google SV or do a search in here, if there is no SU or Superuser app next check if you have a custom recovery if you do then it will be very simple for you to flash a rom on to your phone, if you dont then there is some steps you need to do before you can do so
--------------------------edit-------------------
this is throwing me off a little bit, there is no real forums for the One SV, and i only found one root method, to even have s-off with a locked bootloader is weird, you may actually have a Developer Phone,

Is custom recovery an app? If so I don't have it. Or will it be in settings somewhere?

Not a app Hmm i say for now boot into android and hang till dev comes in and see what he says bout it, but what you are describing and what im looking at this could be really a developers phone from HTC
i could be compeletely wrong on that but it seems it is, as there is no s-off for it not any i could find, and the fact your hboot is still "locekd"

Ok thanks for your help so far, will check back in a while.

actually go here and post your pic to let others know, if your phone is a dev this is a golden egg, dont follow the root instructions,just let them know what you have the.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113671

Most probably a dev phone. I thought at first that it could a test unit or an unreleased version but when I read mfg kernel my doubt was gone. Mfg allows even more stuff so there's still a chance you won't even need boot unlock even if it says otherwise. Keep in mind I'm just speculating.
A full backup of partitions could be handy for devs.
Sent from my HTC One VX using xda premium

Its a test unit. One that has an eng hboot oddly enough. It does no good to achieve s-off but it does allow an eng hboot to be flashed once s-off is achieved. I have a surefire way to s-off the sv but can't get a tester

Do you know if I will be able to root it and flash a rom to it in the future.

[Q] do I REALLY need Gold Card?

Hi y'all, somebody gave me a DesireC, it needs "Scrubbed"
Really can't do much other than play with the phone coz it's got that "CarrierIQ" crap in it, never mind my good freinds phone number --
Got it to root and S-off, factory reset it, (her number still there, tried that 3 times) as well as boot screen from her carrier...
I've tried making a gold-card? Learned alot but never succesfully made one. There is uncertaintly in the instructions wether to reverse the HeX string needed for the Gold card. Or Windows won't format the SDcard rightly...
Wouldn't all this be easier using Debian? [Linux]
I just want it bare nekked, no carrier, no number, NO SNITCHWARE (carrierIQ)
Do I NEED the gold-card to make this phone anonymous? If so, please point to the CLEAR instructions
Thanks in advance --

Try asking in the Desire C section. This is the Desire (bravo/bravoc) section.

Hi thank u for such fast response...
Waiting for the darn things battery to come back up or I'd copy the info screen --
but from memory (I've been lurking here and playing with it for several weeks)
it says it's
PB99400
bravoc
hboot 93
should I still move to other forum?
Thanks again

The dern thing won't let me RUU, as it's US Cellular apparently stock as I've tried "Factory Restore" hoping to clear my friends infoz off it
no joy, her number's still in it I'd be much happier if the phone number was blank, or xxxxxxxxxx (or whatever the default string is for a never activated phone)
Don't have (or see a need for) a carrier for it, coz I've not yet learned wether I can have it activated as a plain CDMA "No Gee" cell phone, If I gots Wifi I don't see a need for even 3g... It's loaded apps OK over WiFi. I'm a bit skittish even using WiFi till I'm sure it's clean with no CIQ
Once I get it's innards wiped (without any snitchware gunk) want to load a clean, battery efficient, more usable ROM (I don't need Fap-Book or Twiddler or games)
will loading a custom ROM remove the US Cellular crap and number?
Thanks in advance
Virginwidow

Yeah, installing a custom rom removes the apps from your carrier

Hi abaaaabbbb63-
I got a old Desire CDMA (PB99400 Bravoc) with US Cellular. Unfortunately it is S-ON and I want to root it. The deal is that the HBOOT version is 1.09.000 and all the tools I have found are for HBOOT 1.06.000
Do you know if it is possible to downgrade the HBOOT?. My phone looks like Picture 1 in your post.
Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Need Help to install ruu or rom to unlock SIM Sprint htc one M& Kardan

Hi,
I bought brand new inactivated sprint htc one m8 harman kardon. I managed to get it bootloader unlocked, S-Off, rooted, and TRWP 2.7.0.2. I'm trying to get the SIM unlocked but I couldn't. I used the following method to unlock the sim but I couldn't pass step 4 as I reach to hit "start" but nothing happens. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718150&page=5)
I also tried to install roms but when the mobile boot after I get successful installation, it reboots on bootloader screen only.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks.

you do realize that post you linked to right at the top it says 100% works from GSM unlocks. nowhere does it say anything about CDMA phones...? which your sprint model is...
and yes i know what your going to say it has a GSM sim card slot but it doesnt matter.
when people say compatible with GSM models it mostly means international GSM and US(ATT/TMOBILE) phones. CDMA phones are a bit more complicated. cause theres the extra CDMA radio partition.
