Download hboots PB99IMG-file (http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip), rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put it to your sdcard and boot phone in hboot mode.

does anyone have old zip file (130-5)?

Yes I do. Forgot I still had a copy of it. Will upload you it within the next hour.

Sorry about the wait, had to wait for server to sort itself out. Here is the original CM7 hboot image.

This happens sometimes, when you use the method with the PB99IMG files. I recommend (independent from your error) to use fastboot for flash actions like hboots, radios or recoverys. Imho, its the safest way.
Nice guide how to use fastboot you can find here:

I never read that it would be possible to flash hboot with goldcard. Even if this is possible, fastboot is the safest way to flash hboot and i highly recommend to do so.

Never had any cid problems(you see supercid) so I never needed or made a goldcard. Others have reported it working... The fastboot is indeed the best method though

[Q] Desire close to dead?

Hello,
I've been searching the forums for two days now but can't find the answer. Could sombody please help me?
My problem is:
I have an s-off and rooted Desire. I rooted it after I had put on gingerbread. That was all working great. Until I decided to return to the standard HTC ROM again. I've now tried different RUU's even the last Gingerbread.
I think I've done something wrong because every time i get stuck when installing the ROM.
When I boot my Desire I get a black screen with HTC logo in each corner a triangle with exclamation point. I cannot boot into recovery anymore.
The error message I get is partition fail. and [6] system fail-pu.
With HBOOT is 6.93..., Alpharev CM7.
Who knows a solution to my problem. Please a detailed explanation. 'I m more of a noob than I thought.
Regards,
Ruvo

You have the CM7 hboot? RUU does not fit in that I think

I have the Alpharev CM7 HBOOT. I did try the RUU and now i'm stuck.
Do you know how to fix this?
I can't get in the bootloader anymore, so i can't flash anything.

You have to flash stock hboot and AlphaRev downgrader before flashing the RUU. Can you go into fastboot mode? If you can't I think there's a good chance your phone might be bricked.

Flash the downgrader hboot from alpharev.nl then run the ruu again .
I suggest you to back s-on only for warranty purpose. In case of that after the downgrader flash the froyo ruu 2.29.405.5.

But if i did that downgrader. can i load a custom rom if i rooted , wil than turn also the S-onn?
I mean.. can it only be the S-onn if you DOWNGRADE to a officeel htc rom or can it be also if you load a custom rom? to turn that S-on?

Please do some more research and read some noob guides.

Thanks for you're reply, but it doesnt matter wich extensie right? .zip/.exe

You can use a ruu.exe or a PB99IMG.zip but the zip should always be a last resort. Some people are often too lazy to get their usb cable from upstairs or in too much of a rush, they must do it on the train to work....

Thanks again, i get it from now xD, because i'm new with it, and its a new thing/part i wanna learn,
Soo the zip is more to use, so if i get it right.. the .exe or the .zip is not more or les.. but the .zip is more usese.
Okeey i get this!,
Thanks for you time buddy ,
PS: this methode is that same as for the sensation and other htc models?

No idea what you just said. Use the .exe

Download PB99IMG_stock from alpharev.nl and flash your phone, then download htc sync from htc.com.
Then, if you want 2.3 rom - download 2.3 ruu from http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152, extract, connect to htc sync and then click RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe. After few minutes you'll get stcok fresh anndroid 2.3 with s-on.

How it works is with a RUU you can only use the same version or newer. This is because you cannot flash an older hboot. The downgrader puts a very low hboot version on so all ruu hboots are seen as newer, even though they are not
