[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.

I can't go into fastboot mode. Is there a way to go into fastboot mode from my laptop?

Search for user 'bortak' and look for his guide linked in his signature-sure the answers you need will be in it.

I found an interesting troubleshooting guide by Borak. I'll try it tonight.
I'll let you know if it works.
Thanks in advance.

Restore HTC Desire to stock

Hello all,
A friend of mine has rooted his HTC Desire by using the Mildwild ROM. Sometimes his phone is crashing with this ROM, so he wants to unroot his phone. Because I am such an awesome friend I offered to do this (actually he asked me, but whatever ). Right now I am stuck in the process of restoring his stock ROM.
The Bootloader gives me this information:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
Radio-4.05.00.11
Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18
So I need to restore the stock HBOOT. Therefore I download this file: http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_downgrade.zip. I change the name to 'PB99IMG.zip' and copy-paste it to the root of the SD card. When I try to flash the HBOOT in fastboot, this is what I get:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I don't know what is going wrong here, but obviously I'm doing something wrong. I hope you guys can help me find out what I need to do else.

Download the downgrader from alpharev website as the HBOOT is write protected and flash it from fastboot. Then download the htc 2.3 RUU from HTC dev and in fastboot connect to the pc and flash it back to stock

The file I downloaded was the downgrader, wasn't it? Or didn't you mean the HBOOT downgrader? I used this one: http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_downgrade.zip

Stop being a dumbass, not everyone is "expert" as you. If your phone does not boot, you just don't give a f*ck about the forum you're posting.
Come on, man! You're not funny.

Oh, I'm sorry mister "developer" if I hurt your altruistic feelings. My phone also doesn't boot sometimes but I tend to read the stickies and know what was the last thing I did.
Now that I remember, no wonder you give your approval to this since you did that too on occasion. Lol.

Gentlemen, I would like you to help me with this problem. I am sorry if I have posted this thread in the wrong (sub)forum, but I don't think that should be a reason for someone to not help me with this. I do know my fair share about computers, but phones are kind of new for me. Especially when it comes to (un)rooting them. So all your help would be very appreciated.

Did you changed PB99IMG_downgrade.zip. to PB99IMG.zip ?
And after you flash the hboot you cand install a ruu

thanks

Yes I did do that. This afternoon, by using another SD Card, I managed to downgrade the HBOOT. But which ROM do I need right now? I tried using the OTA (I do not have the link right now), but that doesn't work.

2.3 RUU is made for all devices and it can be obtained from htc dev site, I made a thread about it try to find it in Q&A section. To gain s-off after RUU is not a problem at all.
I've never flashed rom over fastboot so I can't give you any information about it, and everything tells me that you got some weird problem.

i tried at least 10 times and still no luck, now my phone doesn't have any bootloader or fastboot menu that i can use its dead and i don't know what to do now.

Maybe the file that you downloaded was bad try to download it again.
Try one more thing put your phone in the frezzer for some time, take it out and try again.
And what RUU did you try?

Next time, make sure the file was downloaded correctly using MD5 checksum. It's best practice!

Help,Desire dead

Hello,I bought a second hand HTC Desire, which remained stuck at HTC logo, I came into recovery very difficult to mix volume - and power, I think are damaged volume keys, and started RUU, at 80-100% I got an error, I followed the steps I removed the battery and when the phone does not respond in any way, does not start, the LED does not display anything to load and the computer does not recognize, can have a chance of recovery?
Ruu is taken here htcdev. com/process/legal_download/152
on the recommendation of someone on the forum.
If you can help me give me a step by step tutorial for noobs, and please excuse me my poor English.

Hello,
I want to sell my Desire on Ebay. Can I flash this Rom and sell my Desire with "original" Rom?
I just want to sell the Phone with an original Rom including root and a2sd. I heard that I have to choose the right Rom from http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo but I found no information about the difference between OTA and RUU
Maybe someone can give me a link with a Rom I can use for that :good:

Yes you can use that, but its an ruu. It will remove root, and a2sd wont work because stock rom doesnt support init.d scripts.

Rom works great. Thank you very much guys :good::cyclops:

Once again:
Read the troubleshooting guide sticky at the top of q&a, it explains everything. Yes it even covers your EXACT situation...
It turns out you're not the first person to try to run an RUU...
Guides like that have been made to specifically explain every single eventuality, so you don't have to open another thread explaining exactly the same thing. We are not here to copy paste the very same instructions. Please read and use it.
