1. You dont flash hboot cm7r2 to oxygenr2 without flashing the downgrader inbetween.
2. Since you weren't successful on changing your hboot and probably didnt put it back to stock hboot first, that ruu ain't gonna work.
3. As of this post, you have been replying bits and pieces of information. Why haven't you posted ALL the technical details of your phone? What hboot is in there right now? You want help, then provide enough information for people to work on.

if you are rooted, first you need to downgrade the HBOOT using the one in alpharev.nl, then try running the ruu exe.

[Q] Can't acces bootloader after RUU-update attempt.

Hey everyone.
This is my first thread. I hope I've posted it in the correct forum. I couldn't find any information about this errer in the forum. If there's one I would be glad if you could link it to me
My problem is:
I've tried to run a RUU-update while I had a custom ROM, but it went wrong. Error 110
I couldn't acces the recovery or the ROM. But then I searched the forum and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341794
I had the same problem as the above link.
I am now able to get into the recovery and into the ROM, but every time I reboot I have to use my computer (and type in cmd: fastboot oem boot) in order to acces the ROM.
I've tried to run the RUU from a different computer as suggested in the thread about the EVO, but it didn't work.
The RUU I tried to run is the following:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...io_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
So how do I "install" or make the bootloader appear again?
Thanks in advance.
If you need any more information I will try my best to give it to you.
edit:
When I'm in the Rom I can't reboot into recovery or bootloader when holding the power button down. I only see the screen with four small triangles in the corners...
you may have a look on bortak's troubleshooting guide... a lot of useful stuff there...I'm not going to explain it as it is for a bit long he will take care of you

bortak said:
​BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
1. No. Your phone is not bricked (Touch wood)
2. Make a goldcard. You need it. (Check goldcard section for help)
3. Set up ADB (android de-bug bridge), it's useful when things go wrong.
4. RUU's are DANGEROUS to your phones well-being. Only use them when you absolutely have to.

[Q] DHD unroot attempt failed

Hello everyone!
Good to have you, please help.
DHD A9191 - lovely piece of alu cast

Since I couldn't use Skype, and people did not understand me (voice meteallic), decided to switch back.

Used Clockwork o load the backed up system.
One I had saved was 2.1, the one I needed to revert back to to be able to s-off or sthg.
Then I was able to run those RUU...
RUU finalised but with errors, red triangle, again reverted to 2.1
another RUU... apparently 2.3.5 went ok. boot. and...
I CANNOT USE TOUCHSCREEN ANYMORE
sorry, im close to tears.
I can boot to HBOOT 2.00.0027
System boot to this Sense3.0 Andro 2.3.5
but I cannot swing unlock ring.
please help.
What to load up now to make my touch screen work again?
It was old phone no guaranty.
I've got another Desire S, two other unformated sd cards... if this helps.
And you guys.
Tom.

If you're still S-OFF, I believe you just need to flash a custom recovery and then flash a stock ROM. You didn't need to unroot to go back to the stock ROM. Instructions on how to flash a custom recovery are in the "need help" link in my signature. Look in the PDF linked from post #7 there.

Now I see I ve found this PDF before but, there is not much about unrooting.
i understand you are trying to tell me to use this guide to flash stock rom with adb (or custom recovery)?
Will I be able to get OTA back. and get the original 2.3.5?
Im worring that touchsreen stopped working because some drivers (digitizer) had been wrong. How to make sure which rom is stock? WWE? but...
Oh.. got chest pain again.
I feel small and alone here, in this phone rooting bushiness I let myself in.

No, flash a custom recovery. Instructions for that start at the bottom of page 9 of the guide. Then download the stock 2.3.5 rooted and flash it normally from recovery.
RUUs are all stock. Digitizer is hardware. Don't worry about the drivers.
No i'm not that guy.
but im scared as sh**.
"before i mess up my phone" ...thats what Im afraid of.
...just noted Teichopsia had deleted his reply. Do not know why?
I hate to ask this, but do you now good original unbranded rom for DHD A9191?
driphter and shipped roms are down.
so first step is to get custom recovery
then upload stock img-zip
then install it with custom recovery?
what if this will not help on the touch screen problem?
I was trying to get help at similar forum, on a similar problem, but this ROM that fixed them did not helped me. Still no touch. Either from phone or that forum..

Fastboot is not the same as ADB. Instructions for flashing something with Fastboot are very clearly documented in the PDF that glevitan and I both told you to read. Unfortunately, I believe you lost S-OFF when you ran that RUU (since your HBOOT version changed), which means you lost Fastboot ability. You're now beyond my understanding; you're going to need to wait for glevitan to show up with his wisdom and hope that he can help you.

Actually attn1 (creator of the advanced ace hack lit) told me that changing HBOOT won't affect your radio partition as it's located somewhere else. So he should still be S-OFF if he had it.

Cannot access recover mode

So I've been trying to root my dads old Desire for a while now, with no success - it is locked to o2 and I'm on Orange. I didn't really want to pay to unlock it, and rooting it would have been nice. I've done two phones before, so I figured it shouldn't be too bad. Eventually I discovered it was HBOOT 1.03, and this was the problem, so the solution was to backdate the software to an earlier version (the phone is still S-ON and I cannot get this thing to take ANYTHING)
I was trying to roll back from Froyo to 2.1.
The current problem is that now the phone will not boot. With a simple turn-on it just sits at the white HTC screen, or if you go into Hboot it tries (what I assume is) 'fastboot' and checks the PB99IMG.zip file on the SD card. If I say I don't want to update and go to 'recovery' it loads the screen with the exclamation mark in a triangle in it. The problem here is that pressing up+power does nothing. I've tried a quick press, and a long hold multiple times, and with no result except the first time. Unfortunately I didn't go through the proceedure the first time, assuming it'd work again. Damn!
If I start the update it says 'can not roll back the hboot version'. It also fails on the radio_v2.
Any help will be much appreciated, and if you need any details (I've probably missed something) please ask!
Thanks

If it fails with Radio_v2, then it's a radio brick, and that's the reason it won't boot. I'm afraid you can't do much, due to the hboot version.

The one step here I'm halted by is producing a Goldcard - the link to the website on the tool doesn't work any more (I've scoured t'internet, and that's the general consensus). Any idea where else I can input the CID to get a Goldcard Image?
Also how do I run the RUU on my computer? What file is it in the HTC Desire Android Upgrade folder I need to run? Afterall, there's no file titled 'RUU.exe'

Just realized that it wouldn't work, because you have to boot your phone for the downgrader tool.
You could try something else. Unlock your bootloader using the HTC Dev site :http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader, and then try installing a custom recovery.

I've unlocked the bootloader (although obviously I'm still S-ON and HBOOT 1.03), so how would I go about installing a custom recovery?

Try a MildWild ROM. Maybe the CM7 download was somehow faulty.

[Q] Back to stock

Hi,
after i have bought my new HTC One mini 2 i would like to go with my Desire back to the beginning.
I searched here and also on other sites for the best and simplest way. Most sites say to use the RUU.exe but i couldn't find it here http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads.
But than i found this post here on XDA that tells me not to use RUUs.
So what is the best way for me??
I want the stock ROM with no tweaks no a2sd, just the way it was when i bought it. I don't care weather there is root/s-off or not. I wanted to use my nandroid backup but it was made with an other Recovery and i don't know how to get back to it.
So in the best case i have my desire just the way it was after i rooted it. (with the stock rom from HTC but with recovery and root permission

Hi,
after i have bought my new HTC One mini 2 i would like to go with my Desire back to the beginning.
I searched here and also on other sites for the best and simplest way. Most sites say to use the RUU.exe but i couldn't find it here http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads.

To get complete stock then u need to use an ruu. So if ur s-on, relock ur bootloader
fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu.
S-off, then make sure ur on stock hboot then flash the Alpharev downgrade.img then run the ruu. To get the correct ruu, google "shipped roms" then find ur device (bravo).
Or if u want it stock but rooted then look at development thread for stock roms and flash it in recovery.
If u want to restore ur old nandroid then id say u cant because u made the nandroid with different recovery. So im guessing that ur using 4ext recovery now? And im guessing when u rooted for the first time u used CWM recovery? So if thats the case, flash CWM recovery then restore nandroid.

Your descriptions are conflicting.
If you want it the way you bought it (fully stock, S-ON etc), then RUU is the proper, easiest way.
If you restore any kind of nandroid backup, then it will be rooted with whatever A2SD it had at the time, i.e. this is the way you bought it...

I thought these commands only work on Nexus devices? I've never needed to use them on the Desire anyway.
Even if the desire is S-ON, the 2.3.3 GB RUU should run without issue.
@HandyBesitzer
There's a whole troubleshooting guide stickied the top of Q&A dedicated to all of this. Follow it to the letter for your particular situation. Find and flash the 2.3.3 GB RUU
I always thought that when ur htc dev unlocked bootloader, then u need to relock the bootloader. I always had s-off so never tried it with the desire but with s-on with htc desire s and sensation u need to relock the bootloader first or ruu wont run, just thought it would be the same with the desire.

Guess so, depends on how / if OP unlocked the bootloader
- If it's dev unlocked, then those commands will likely apply then
- If he's S-ON, he could still have rooted with original unrevoked method for instance. I don't believe those fastboot commands wouldn't apply, RUU would work straight over the top
- If it's revoluationary / alpharev S-OFF, downgrader instructions as you said

Forgot bout the old unrevoked method
Black screen
Hi, I have a Desire. I used Alpharev to get S-On to install a RUU. The RUU has been installed, when it restarted the screen remained black. The phone starts,the buttons are lighted but the screen is black.
It seems to be a software problem.
Can anyone help me?

You flashed the wrong RUU
You flashed an SLCD RUU which is meant for an AMOLED device, or the other way around. In other words, it's incompatible with your screen type, which is why your screen remains black.
Look at bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, it covers this. You will need to use the 2.3.3 GB RUU as outlined above.

wasn't 2.2.2 the latest Version for Desire??
first to clear what i did to get the s-off, root,...
I used unrevoke to get s-off, so HTC does not know what i did to my phone
I also installed a new hboot a while ago, but i think i went back to the old. SO do i need the downgrade there??
About my first recovery it was Amonra, because cwm did not work for me first. Now i have the 4ext. It's simply the best
Also it is possible i updated my radio i don't know but i think i did it. Is that a problem??
I'm in my fastboot now and see this:
--- AlphaRev ---
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
Microp-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
http://alpharev.nl/
Do i download bravo_stock or bravo_downgrade??

So the RUU flashed successfully, it boots into the stock ROM, but you can't navigate the screen? Do the hardware buttons work? Does it react at all?
Still recommend to use the 2.3.3 GB RUU. Even guy above with one post managed to follow the given instructions first time, find it and flash it successfully

No, neither of those. I believe those are Froyo RUUs...try / start here instead
Forget about the radio, should flash with the RUU.
Are you actually following the instructions here and the troubleshooting guide as advised to flash the RUU...?
Thanks for the link. But the download does not start for me. I only get the License and i cannot confirme it.
About the trouble shotting. it starts with problems when the smartphone has this black screen with !, but i even did not get this screen. I'll read the whole thread here again, and try to get the download working.
The disclaimer tell me that i cannot send sms or mms and you recomment this version to me????

Try another browser.
Or try other links in the rest of the internet, it's a big place. That's not the only place to download it from.

The troubleshooting thread does not start with black screen problems.
The whole thread goes through every possibility, you find the one which applies to your situation.
The black screen is not your situation, so read the rest of the thread...

No, the disclaimer says you may not be able to send sms or mms....nowhere does it say cannot....It is just a terms and conditions disclaimer, that's it, so you can't sue HTC in the small chance that some things don't work...
I recommend it every time yes, as I have recommended it 100s of times here...just like to the guy above. It worked straight away. Evidence right here in this very thread, and has worked virutally every time for many other people if you look in Q&A...somewhere you are not looking hard enough, and / or not following instructions.
