I have searched enough and only method comes up to check hboot is apparently holding down volume down button and switching HDH on.
I've tried it on my orange branded desire HD but it just shown a flashy wall paper and then orange logo appears.
My software version is 1.40.61.2 and all I want to do it get rid of orange crap from it and use a generic htc software.
Could someone please help me in simple words?
How to check HBoot and what should I do to install generic software?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Download Elixir from market, that shows bootloader version.

The reason why you didn't get to bootloader menu was because fastboot was enabled. Next time, take out your battery, replace it, then try and go into bootloader. It should work.
To flash a generic HTC ROM you will need to get root, Radio S-OFF and of course the actual Generic HTC ROM file.
Follow the instructions from this thread to Root + Radio S-OFF your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Once complete, and you have S-OFF enabled in bootloader you can proceed to flash the generic HTC ROM. The link below contains the HTC WWE 1.32.405.6 RUU:
http://www.xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/R....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe
Once you flash the above HTC RUU, you will lose root but you will still have Radio S-OFF which means you can still flash any ROM you like.
You can also flash a custom ROM instead of the generic HTC RUU after you have Radio S-OFF

Got it sorted with S-OFF thingie.......thanks for helping me.
Just a few more questions as you seem like quite knowledgeable.
1) I am downloading generic file, would that complete wipe my phone and settings?
2) Would I be able to upgrade OTA if a future release comes from HTC?
3) Loosing root means I wont be able to use those applications which require root access....even with VISIONary?
4) How do I flash the rom? Do I need a goldcard for that? As mine is a branded orange handset.
Thanks a lot.

1) Yes, it is a generic HTC unbranded ROM. It will wipe your settings, as will any ROM you flash.
2) I think so, as long as you stick with the official generic HTC roms. If not, you can download the OTA update from here and apply it manually via ClockworkMod Recovery, which is safer as it will stop it overwriting the HBOOT and Custom Recovery (which is what the last update did)
3) Losing root access means you can't use applications that require root access. However, Visonary is used to get root from being in a state of no-root. Once you run Visonary, it will do its exploit and make the system root for you. This doesn't work on 1.72/1.75 ROMs, however the ROM link I have given you is a rootable ROM.
4) With S-OFF, you do not need a Goldcard. For the Official ROMs (like the link I gave you) follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
For custom ROMs, you will need to install ClockworkMod recovery and from there flash the ROMs. To get ClockworkMod recovery, first make sure your current ROM is rooted, then download 'ROM Manager' from the Android Market, then run the application and tap 'Flash ClockworkMod recovery'. To boot into clockworkmod recovery, take out the battery, replace it, go into bootloader, then choose 'Recovery'.
Also thought you would like to know how to get back to stock Orange UK ROM for warranty reasons.
1) Do Radio S-ON and restore your CID (using the same tool you used to get Radio S-OFF)
2) Download this Orange UK 1.40.61.2 ROM: http://www.xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/R....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_157531_signed.exe
3) Install that ROM using the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890

Hey, no problem
If you have Radio S-OFF, it will stay Radio S-OFF unless you manually turn it to Radio S-ON using the program.
Flashing anything will not affect it. So you are good to flash the HTC ROM
Just to let other guys know.....I have followed the steps as prank1 has suggested and now I have a stock HTC rom without any of the orange crap on it. All orange logos, icons and softwares have disappeared.
I have unlocked phone with S-OFF and I am sure now I can flash with custom roms as well which would be my next try.
Thanks once again.
HELP! i think i've bricked my phone. lemme first tell you guys what i've gone and done.
have a orange branded desire hd which i temp rooted with visionary. then i used titanium backup to force stop the preloaded apps which were slowing up my phone. i think i made a mistake and might have first deleted one of the pre installed apps...
neways.. got a notification for a sytem update and accidently installed it...
when the phone rebooted and was installed the update it stopped and now all i have is an image of the phone on the screen with a red triangle. it's been 10 minutes and it's not doing nething.
what have i done... and how do i undo it
PLEASE HELP
I did exactly the same thing and now it wont update, I reported it to HTC but theyve advised me that its 'with the developer' which to be honest suggests that I will never get a reply beyond the ticket number they gave me. Cant believe moving bloody Uno of my phone would cause such a hassle

And sorry for my bad English, i prefer German
From what I could tell, the S-ON seems to be the problem.
and how do i make it s-off?
cause my h-boot is 0.80.0002 and Alpharev X only works with 1.00.0001
From i know you need to update to official 2.2 with a RUU and then s-off.
Check one of stickies in development for more details.

Hi, can't remember exactly my method but try to explain best I can.
I flashed safe not rooted rom from 3xeno's sticky page. Then I downloaded on PC the ruu. Exe and this is the part o can't remember but I got the rom image from the exe and turned it into a pc49 img then placed on SD root and rebooted into hboot? ( Power + vol down ). It did its magic then I just used revolutionary to s-off and did clean install of cm7 to replace revs su. Hope this makes sense!!! And is of help.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
To update the su, just flash the signed zip from here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
With a RUU, you must be in Android. (so not fastboot or anything else).
Then, if it works.
You open Revolutionary (you found it on revolutionary.io) in admin mode. And then it's okay
Hey guys,
I have a htc desire wich have a booting loop. i try to reinstall diferrent roms but unsuccesfull. I need official rom version 2.22.75.3 from orange spain. if anyone can help me with that will be much apreciated.
Thanks
There are no Orange RUU's available. You can use the Gingerbread dev RUU from HTCdev.com This unbrands but retains warranty with HTC.
i can't find anytyhing there. If i try to put the rom on a sdcard and use a gold card to flash the phone, when i try to flash teh phone i receive thsi message " can't open zip file " I'm kinda stuck here
http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Yeah its stupid that site, you have to go to "kernel source2 then "See downloads" to get to the link above.
same shi... " open zip file failed "....
What zip file? Its an .exe that you run from your PC.
strange...i've downloaded HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade wich is a zip file. i put that zip file on a gold card and when i press power button to flash it i receive that message. btw ,wich file is an exe file from that download website?

What do you mean unlock the phone?
You wanted to return to stock, I assumed for warranty return. What exactly do you want to do? if this is not the case you should remember to be clear about the infromation you give in your first post.
yes, now i'm on a stock rom. but is there any posibility to downgrade to HBOOT 0.93.xxx1 because i want to unlock the phone now, and hboot 1.02.xxx1 is not supported
What do you mean by unlock???????
phone is network locked. and i want to use vodafone sim. utill that i used orange spain sim.
Ok just wanted to be clear.
Best bet use revolutionary to s-off, then fastboot flash their downgrader.img hboot. This will allow you to flash an older RUU hopefully without need for goldcard

Hi,
i just bought htc desire branded by Orange, i dont know wheres is phone from.
I unrooted it by flashing RUU ROM from shipedroms by PB99IMG.zip. Everything was ok but system failed (fail-pu). I tryed it again and it wroted "invalid cid".
Now i have phone with defaul bootloader (S-ON) and without any ROM and i dont know how to get some into it. ADB dont see any device and i have only access throught fastboot.
Do you have any idea how to fix it?
I would realy appreciate it.

Hi, I helping dziosh with this. I try update and RUU_HTC...exe end with force close. But I dont know how i go to download mod(I think) where adb now see the device but offline. Restart server not working and on display is phone with exclamation point in triangle. I repeat, we dont have functional ROM, recovery, and S-OFF.
Any idea ?
PS sorry for my english.
Thx for reply.
Download mode- do you mean hboot or fastboot? Start the phone with power and vol - held down - for hboot for fastboot power and back button... Without goldcard you can't flash WWE RUU, try to find Froyo for Orange or risk it with 2.3.3 from HTC dev... Single exclamation mark means stock recovery... Exclamation mark in each corner means sort of fastboot

Sorry this not be download mod. And we can't flash any rom by PB99IMG.zip way(S-ON, Brand and dont have goldcard). Can we do this over the fastboot SDK or somethink else ?
BTW Can we get CID SD card without functional ROM ? Example From other desire with same SD card?
any android phone can read cid of the card and create gold card

I got back my warranty repaired Desire the other day with this configuration. Unrevoked doesn't work, I can only assume because of the PVT4, I already had a gold card which had helped root several phones but this didn't help.
In the end the only resort was to S-off using revolutionary.io, no gold card required.
Once you are s-offed (and the process can add a recovery) you can boot into recovery and flash a downloaded rom.
Ok we have gold card but all tutorials for s-off need functional rom
Any idea?
i could not root it by revolutionary because i dont have system. I have only access to bootloader with s-on, i need some procedure to root it without system.
could anynone help ?
As you have goldcard install WWE RUU, then go for s off

S-off does not require a functional rom. Simply go to revoltionary.io and download their beta tool and get a key to use it.
Whatever you've been reading about instructions requiring a rom is incorrect.

I am sure I have all my drivers installed correctly, both adb and fastboot work just fine (both show device when connected).
From what I understand, it is because of my HBOOT version, right? I tried running different RUUs I could find, but it always ends up with an error - either model id error [130], or something saying my image is newer than the one I want to upload (maybe it's bootloader version error [140], I don't remember now).
How should I proceed now?

Or you can flash any RUU firmware, but you need downgrade your firmware version with this Tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24039156#post24039156

You can also root your Desire (After you get your bootloader unlocked, of course) with Super One Click, this will work if you press the "Root" button while the HTC logo is displayed.

u cant just run "any" ruu otherwise why would there be so many? why not only one for each android version?
if his phone is branded, vodafone etc etc then a wwe ruu would not work, or atleast shouldnt, it would give id error. u should ask these questions first before telling people to run ruu's.
ok if you know more, tell but there isn't enough choice on the site htc dev.
At me too branded t-mobile desire, that to me didn't prevent to flash RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5 then to flash update OTA_2.29.405.14_ and then PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R
I told as at me it turned out, at others it can not turn out, then it is necessary to try with other firmware therefore I also told "any"
I now will make experiment, it became interesting to me))
UPD: i have found simple way to update hboot 1.02 - to 1.03
I will write small tutorial soon
@Desire Bravo,
No, I didn't downgrade my firmware version yet, as I don't know when I have to flash the rom.zip file (renamed as PB99IMG.zip), that's what I'm asking to you.
On the other hand, I don't know how to overwrite the "misc" partition.
So, when I fully understand "how" and "when" to perform each one of those steps I will go ahead with the tutorial.
@jmcclue,
My original firmware was FR83G (Orange) Android Froyo, signed 2.29.405.14, I have found this firmware in a .tar.gz file but don't how to flash it as it's not a zip or a RUU file.
Can I decompress the .tar.gz and put its content in a .zip file? If it's not, please, can you tell me how to get a valid FR83G file?
Do you know how to overwrite the "misc" partition of the Desire?
Thank you very much in advance to both of you. Best regards.
