i have tried fastboot , recovery or clear storage .... but the phone restarts , it freezes on htc logo page .....
i have installed android drivers and the phone is well detected when i restart it with volume down and power ....
when i start the phone normally , windows doesn't detect it ....
i can't root it or remove S-ON beacuse i can't go into tel menu .....
the sdcard only contains a file called PD98IMG.ZIP .
All tutos on the site require that you have access to tel menu ....
So i need help please ...
any ideas welcome
( thks for reading me and don't hesitate if you need further infos on tel )

1) Try to S-OFF first with
http://revolutionary.io/
or
http://alpharev.nl/
2) After that try flashing your recovery with an recovery image using fastboot ( can be used in the screen that you still can access with the fastboot driver)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Maybe more detail here : (first google)
http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all...lash-recovery-image-via-fastboot-sd-card.html
But I think first try to S-OFF, without that you may get some error while trying to flash your recovery
3) Install a ROM from recovery
Also maybe this tutorial is good for you
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HT..._S-OFF_.26_Installing_a_Custom_Recovery_Image

Err no. It doesn't boot. Needs RUU to fix.
Op, do you know any details of the android version that should be installed? Was it branded? From a carrier? Which carrier? What country?

hello
first of all , thanks for both reply
you re right , it doesn't boot
all i know is that it was distributed and sold by Orange France
don't know which version of android was on it ...
Tel is locked on french provider orange
thks

Ok, orange RUUs are not usually available but warranty is not void using 2.3
Here is what I suggest.
Go to HTCdev com and download the RUU In the kernel source section. This is an exe you must run from a windows pc.
To install, from off, hold back and power to get to fastboot screen. Connect usb and wait for phone screen to say fastboot usb.
Run RUU from pc and follow prompts.
If this fails, recommend contacting HTC for warranty.
The first of the 2year warranties will start to finish this month though so bear that in Mind

Is the phone rooted?
If so, boot into recovery and flash from there.
it want flash.how do i flash it can tell me how u do it .mybe im doing somthing wrong
If I'm not wrong, you're trying to flash from hboot? It's not possible. You have to boot into custom recovery which u get when you root.

how do i do that can u tell me?

What's wrong with your space bar?
I'd like to help but you're not being very clear. In fastboot you can press vol down to select recovery and then press power to boot into recovery or load recovery image from your pc with the fastboot command.
Sent from my HTC
You can't flash another ROM from Fastboot. You need to root your phone first. Use UnrEVOked to do so.
If you already have rooted than use (in Fastboot menu) Volume Up & Down to select Recovery (you select it with Power button). When in recovery mode wipe data and cache and then "install zip from sdcard". When I say "zip" I mean "Custom-rom.zip"...

into system 32 (x86)/syswow 64 (x64) in your windows folder on your system drive.

If think is better for you, to start over, run the official RUU for your phone, u can find it here in XDA, remember if u have an branded phone u must have a Gold card, then try and root the phone again, here´s a link to the latest WWE RUU : http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
then use unrevoked to root the phone...
hi yes i have branded phone. is TMobile uk.
[ u must have a Gold card, then try and root the phone again ]
the phone is in Fastboot and it does nt power on as soon as i preess power it goes to the boot mode.
what u mean i must have gold crad ?

go to Desire Q&A/Stickies (first post) and read bortaks troubleshooting guide number [4] i think ruu problems
Sent from my HTC Desire
Thx for reply,so I find this:
[4]RUU PROBLEMS
"I tried using a RUU, but it failed, and now my phone is stuck on a black HTC Screen with /!\ In every corner!"
Possible Causes:
- You were S-OFF and you flashed a custom bootloader from alpharev
- You didn't check the MD5 Sums before proceeding, and the download may have been corrupted.
- You tried using the wrong RUU
Fixing your problem
Your phone is stuck in RUU mode. RUU mode is like fastboot mode, and can still receive fastboot commands, therefore it can be easily "fixed". It helps to have a goldcard for this problem, so that you can use any RUU you want.
S-OFF
[STEP1]- download "Bravo Stock" from Alpharev
[STEP2]- download Android Flasher
[STEP3]- use android flasher to flash "Bravo Stock"
[STEP4]- run the RUU again and wait for it to finish
S-ON
If you're S-ON it eliminates the possibility of you having a custom bootloader, and the only possibility now is that the RUU was corrupted or you used the wrong RUU for your device. Therefore, for this process you need a goldcard.
[STEP1]- Create the goldcard from the tutorial
[STEP1]- Use the WWE RUU
NOTE: If you are restoring for warranty purposes, unless you bought an unbranded phone, using the WWE RUU will VOID YOUR WARRANTY, and you should use the 2.3.3 RUU (link available from #resources)
Im really beginner ,I dont know how can I do it..Im S-OFF..They say I need to download bravo stock from http://alpharev.nl/ But there are 2 bravo stock:
bravo_alphaspl.img and PB99IMG_stock which should I download and how can I flash it? I cant turn on my desire and I cant turn it with power+vol.down.. what can i do now?
pull the battery out and put back in, hold volume down then hold power, tell me what happens
Sent from my HTC Desire
As I said in the title and there is same,
"I tried using a RUU, but it failed, and now my phone is stuck on a black HTC Screen with triangle In every corner!"
yes i know but in first post u said power and vol down. just thought u did it wrong. did u try hold back button and hold power? that takes u to fastboot and u can get to hboot from there. u need to get to the hboot menu for the PB99IMG to work

I want to try this,but I dont understand :
turn it off, plug it in via usb, hold back and power
if you know where your fastboot.exe is then cd into the path in cmd.
if you don't then unzip my attachment and put it in your c:\ and type these commands
Code:
cd\
fastboot devices
if it gives back a serial then it is not bricked and you can flash a RUU
ok download the file and unzip it, click my computer and drop the file into C: then follow the other instructions

Reboot to fastboot, connect your phone to PC and run 2.3 ruu that can be obtained from htcdev site (see my signature).
How did you root you're desire, and what recovery are you using.
If you can get into recovery your should be able to toggle signature verification and the n flash the rom.

Have you tried turning signature verification off in recovery, then flashing ROM again, maybe its not signed right.

with the usual HBOOT menu - FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, SIMLOCK.
Trying recovery does similar to boot, i.e.shows the HTC logo for a while, followed by 7 beeps, a reboot, and repeat.
As I understand it, I should first S-OFF it. However, all the methods I have tried do not recognise the device. If I put it into fastboot mode, and type "fastboot devices" in my PC, it is recognised. I can attempt to flash a new recovery, but I get an error "remote: signature verify fail".
I have tried revolution, and the CD method - neither recognise the device.
I tried to make a gold card, but I am stuck on the first bit, because I cannot connect to the phone with adb, only fastboot.
Revolutionary only works with phone booted, u cant flash recovery unless ur s-off or unlocked bootloader but the fact that it vibrates 7 times means hardware problem. Try flashing the 2.3gb upgrade from htcdev or find it in bortaks guide (my sig) and hope it flashes but i doubt ul be able to do anything unless u get a new motherboard.
I had the same problem. i am now on oxygen zm2 rom.

[Q] Will I save my htc Desire?

Dear all,
I have been looking around the forums and downloaded a few things and looked at various solutions, but I am stuck at the first hurdle.
I have been given an htc Desire Bravo that just will not boot. I do not know how it failed originally but I can only get it into the boot screens, either the fastboot/hboot logon ot the 5 buzzes and the htc logo lock. Also it takes about 30 minutes with the battery out after every failed boot attempt to restart the boot screen.
I have run adb but it cannot tell me a cid number, I have a micro sd card in it but it does not have the pb99diag.zip on it. When I put such a file on the sd card it does not find it. Communication via adb and the phone has varied success. I suspect it is drivers and what I read is an old adb bug where server is out of date.
I have never done this before this weekend so please be gentle with me!
If I can get it to work, even to use it like a wifi tablet without phone I would be happy. I am in the UK and if we have real success I would get it on tesco PAYG
I get the "cannot find pb99diag.zip etc" dialogue when going into hboot.

First make S-Off. I forgot how but if i think right, you must it do via revolutionary, If it success, then download 4ext recovery.IMG and flash it via fastboot and reboot in bootloader in your recovery

If u phone does not boot then u can NOT s-off, ur phone needs to be booted.. also if ur s-on and not rooted then all u can do is flash a ruu.
Did u try factory reset from bootloader menu? Try that first, u never know but chances r ul prob need to ruu a ruu.

Hi jmcclue,
Thanks for the comments. I can boot to the HBoot and Fastboot screens, thats how I could find the S-ON and version data. If I get it to reboot, I get either a white screen with just "htc" on it, or 5 buzzes and a screen with no life at all. I am hopeful to get it to S-OFF as I have had some communication through the usb to pc connection. I am not sure if I can do an RUU update as I don't seem to have a CID. I do not have a factory reset option on the HBOOT screen. I have tried clear storage but that has no effect. Perhaps I need the S-OFF first.
Cheers again,
A
Use the 2.3gb update ruu its wwe (world wide english) so dont worry bout cid. U can find it in bortaks troubleshooting guide in resources section and its naned 2.3.3 ruu. U will find it easy enough in google aswell. Search for "htc desire 2.3gb update" its a exe file so just boot ur phone into fastboot, plug in ur phone and run the ruu, hopefully it willvwork. Im a bit worried tho about the 5 vibrations u get, maybe a sign of hardware failure. But try that ruu anyway. And again u can not get s-off unless ur phone is fully working/booted.

Well that was a bit wierd
If anyone can see where I went wrong, feel free to say.
I could not seem to get the link between the phone and the pc so I removed the htc sync and restarted the pc. I could then connect to the phone in some way as abd gave a command error when I sent a fastboot oem readcid which it normally does. So leaving it in fastboot with usb I ran the wwe~.exe file and it all seemed to be doing installing. There were tens of installations going to the phone I guess each reaching 100%. Suddenly I had a web page popup in my browser s.rev2pub.com/ul_cb/player.html?a=19471543&context=c23573548&size=800x600&rt=popunder&ci=10&cb=[CACHEBUSTER] recommending I download latest drivers. The wwe ruu vanished and I have no continuing processes in Task manager that I can see.
So, should I have installed in hboot? Thankfully I can still get the phone to power on. What should happen after the exe file installs?
I am able to get some response from the phone as adb devices returns the phone device number. So I hope I can try again.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks

Hey Adrian, I had the same problem as you did, hopefully I can be of help.
First, like everyone else is saying you will need S-OFF.
To do this head to this site on your PC revolutionary.io hit download for windows or Linux or whatever your pc is running, then you will need to fill out information about your device (see attached screenshot). Device, HBoot number, and serial number, (the serial number can be found behind the battery of your device). Once you have done that, click "Generate Key". it will give you a key, remember it or write it down.
Then, open the file that was downloaded, and extract the contents to your documents and Run the revolutionary( should look like the screenshot attached). Plug your device in (assuming you have the drivers) and it should ask you to enter the beta key we had before. Enter that and hit enter. it will then S-off your Desire and soon ask if you would like to install a custom recovery. hit Y and then enter, once that is finished, unplug your device and in HBoot go to "Recovery". Now you can flash a ROM of your choice.
Hopefully I made sense!
Best of luck

Can I confirm that I can do this from the HBOOT screen or the fastboot screen? Also where jmmclue said if I can't boot then I can't S-Off, does that mean boot to the HBOOT screen or into Android? Then if I want to load say WWE, do I put that on a microSD to get it to recover?
thanks again

Thanks lilsafbig, that was a little too ambiguous to understand, but I have a few developments.
I am able to communicate to some degree with adb between phone and pc. Before I was unable to get anything back but now with the right syntax I have got back the CID as HTC_001 and the device number. But when I run revolutionary from the fastboot USB screen the revolutionary continues to wait for the device to show. Is it likely that USB degugging was off prior to the failure, is there a way to get it on. I suggest this as when I connect it to my pc it recognizes the device and shows in the device manager as an htc unspecified device (this is progress). As I cannot boot android it does not show as an additional drive in file manger. when I try some of the fastboot oem commands I get bad command errors, whilst fastboot getvars is ok. Could this be why I cannot get revolutionary to S-OFF!
Thanks
additional info, when usb is in an in fastboot usb, the device manager sees it as android 1.0

If you can still get to bootloader / fastboot screen, then you are rarely ever bricked.
1. Ignore anything and everything to do with revolutionary and fastboot for now. I'm afraid the first few posts while trying to be helpful have been misleading. Get your phone booting up into Android OS first, i.e. into a stock ROM using an RUU
2. Use the 2.3.3. GB RUU, nothing else, it doesn't need a goldcard or care about CID etc.
3. Download it from the bottom here, then use Bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, Point [7] to run it as a PB99IMG.zip from the root of your sdcard. That way you don't need to run it through USB or care about what drivers are installed.
Thank you Eddie, I will try that. I did try flash a PB99IMG.zip before with no success but I will try again.
I found it here Official Stock Sense Gingerbread_v1.2 GB-2.3.3_A2SD – http://androidba.se/J7 for desire (neophyte)
I hope it can work out ok. I guess I format the sd card to fat32 not ext4
Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
A

That's a custom rom.
Here's the link for the 2.3.3 ruu.

That did not work because the file is not an RUU...it is a stock rooted custom ROM with A2SD (the clue is in the name). It is designed to flashed in recovery like any other ROM. Renaming it to PB99IMG.zip won't do anything.
Use the actual shipped roms RUU link provided.
Reformat your sdcard to a single FAT32 partition if necessary, then follow Method [7] of the guide, place only the PB99IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard (not in any folder)
