I have a branded (UK) Vodafone Desire that I loaded a stock Froyo ROM onto, now I need to get back to the branded Vodafone image (so I can return it for repair)
I have been trying to do this with the correct (Vodafone UK) RUU listed on thread 695667, but I keep getting a ERROR 140 : BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
I'm guessing this was because the HBOOT was 0.93, so I then successfully downgraded to Android 2.1 taking HBOOT back from 0.93 to 0.83 using the details in thread 768256.
My HBOOT is now 0.83 but the RUU still fails - same ERROR 140 : BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
So, is there a way to downgrade my HBOOT to 0.8 again (hoping that the RUU will work correctly with that version) ??
Or is there a way to extract the ROM image from the RUU exe and apply it using another method. ??
Thanks .. Ken
The problem is not HBOOT. Run the downgrade utility again, but -don't- install the downgrade in the bootloader (as described in the post), just select no, and then you can install the Vodafone RUU.
That worked a treat - thanks teppic74 !!
Hi there
Have a Htc Desire which was originally on the Orange network but recently unlocked it to T-mobile(uk).
I now am in the process of debranding it but have hit a glitch.
Have successfully made a gold card which is still inside the phone.
Only problem i have is that when trying to replace/update the rom via a RUU file i get the following error above (140 bootloader version error).
I think the error maybe caused by following an old tutorial as my current image is 2.17.61.3 and the one i am using is RUU Bravo HTC Europe 1.15.405.3 Radio_32.30.00.28U 4.05.00.11 Release 121865.
Can someone point me in the right direction on what correct files i need so that i am still running the latest files.
Is it Froyo if so can you link me to where i can find it.
Many thanks for any help given in advance!
The bootloader you have is too new for the too old hboot. You are right there.
Here you have the newest ruu by htc:

Hiya folks!
I unlocked my daughter Wildfire S hboot via HTC-Dev when it was first released and upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 EU to get rid of the 3 bloatware on the original rom, I did not root at the time as it was still in its very infant stage and did not wish to give my daughter my Rooted Desire through bricking hers!
Now the time has come to root as she is constantly telling me of a space shortage...I know we've all been there..so thinking the Hboot was still unlocked I ran through HTC super tool 3 , tried a couple of times with no success so realized there must be something I've missed, I checked the hboot was still unlocked in the pink text I believe it was to find that it no longer states unlocked, locked or any extra text just,

So my question is what is the next step? can I unlock it again some how?, I've rooted and I rom hop constantly with my Desire but this phone is being a royal pain! So did the upgrade relock the Hboot? cheers in advance folks,

Go to htcdev and follow instructions to unlock your bootloader.Once it's unlocked, you should see "UNLOCKED" at the top when you boot ur phone.
And then you can root the phone.

OK Ta I wondered if I had to do it again, I guess as I have already updated to 2.3.5 from the first time I can skip that part and precede to straight step 1 ?
Did you tried this? I had problem with rooting my wfs, I can't find script i used right now. I'll update this post if i will find it.
What happened is that the 2.3.5 update changed your HBOOT from the previous one.......Go to htcdev.com start the unlock process and when prompted to download an RUU........ just download the RUU with the software more than the one you are having..... in your case the Europe RUU and just follow the instructions thereafter.....
Right got 'ERROR 190 ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED' please upgrade to 2.13.401.3 to apply this RUU, can I use a different RUU csoulr66 other than EU?
Wish I'd done this in one hit rather than in parts! Thanks in advance all!!!
You're 100% sure that you grabbed proper RUU? According to error you get and htcdev it should be this:
HTC EU 2.13.401.3 PG7610000 - sry can't give you direct link because of forum limitation for users under 8 posts
have you made a goldcard????? Because you will need one to run an RUU

I have a unlocked phone but I never hear about goldcard, are you sure it's needed ?
A goldcard is used to debrand the CID. Without a goldcard, you cant install diags/downgrade/etc because the CID is branded with your carrier.
I had this problem originally, all you have to do is run a stock rom RUU (From the list supplied by football in the stickies) with a goldcard. Then go back to the HTC dev website and upgrade the hboot.

All done, I could not down load any of the links from 'footballs' thread, busy..no free slots etc , so I found a Spanish site and upgraded to 'Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989' then all worked as it should following the instructions on the HTC DEV site, rooted and running SENSELESS_2.3.5_jermzii_v.1.2, thanks all!!
Hi
I searched the forum but I cannot find how to unbrick my Wildfire S...
The problem is like this:
Android 2.3.5, hboot 1.08, bootloader unlocked, rooted and link2sd installed. Recently from link2sd I converted the system file "com.htc" (i don't remember how it was called correctly, I just know that it was the biggest system file) into user file and after I restarted the phone, it got on bootloop (htc quietly brilliant logo) it just restarted itself..
I tried to fix but I couldn't so I sent it to service repair..
After a month they told me that they cannot repair it.
Now I see it that the hboot is 0.9 and when I turn it on, it hangs on white screen with green htc logo..
I tried to repair like this but no luck:

Tried to update hboot with this: PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216 but I get this error: ERROR [190]: ROM IS NOT UPDATED Your ROM is not the latest version. Please upgrade to 2.13.401.2 to apply this RUU to be able to unlock your bootloader.
Somewhere I see the solution is goldcard but I cannot create a goldcard.
I also tried flashing from sdcard with PG76IMG.ZIP but I get this error: Main version is older! Update Fail!
Any suggestions please?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25375379
I tried that, I tried everything..
But the problem is that my phone won't switch on so I cannot create a goldcard and I cannot use adb to flash misc partition...
I also tried flashing from sd card with PG76IMG.zip but no luck
This is what I get on hboot:

In the 1st post you said you have hboot 1.08 and unlocked.. How did you downgrade it to 0.90.0000? There's something wrong
Yes that's right it was 1.08 but when I got it from service repair I saw that they downgraded to 0.9 but they didn't managed to boot it up..
Did you try running an ruu?
Yes I tried but everytime I get this ERROR [140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

If you have an A510e/Marvel, this should get 2.13.401.3 flashed:
[GUIDE]How to update HTC Wildfire S/Marvel/A510e/GSM to Software Version 2.3.5
You've already tried procedure 1 and 2 so try 3.
In first post I mentioned that I tried 2.13.401.3 but no luck, now I also tried the virgin rom but it says CID incorrect, man I tried every rom but with every rom no luck
tried changing the cid to 11111?
As far as I know I cannot change the cid if I'm S-ON, anyway I tried and I get error..
I think that I found where is the problem but I don't know how to resolve it...
When I run RUU it tells me that the current version of image on phone is 11.33.401.2 and because of that I think that I cannot update it because RUU thinks that the image on phone is newer than the one that I want to flash and because of that it gives me error.
So the question is: Does somebody know how I can change the version on RUU to be for example 12.13.401.3 so it can be updated....????
Here's the pic that I get..
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40681700/RUU.PNG
I managed to change the version on android-info.txt but now I get ERROR 132 SIGNATURE ERROR
Search the dev section for bootloader set superversion. This allows you to set your s/w number to 0.0.0.0 so you can install any RUU
Yes I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530864 but the first option is via changing the misc partition but I need adb and I'm stuck on fastboot and cannot use adb.. and the other option is the bootloadertool but I don't know how to flash that tool I tried with fastboot update but no luck nor with fastboot flash...
have it s-offed by an xtc clip and you will have, access to read write execute on the device, I mean flash anything hboots ruu roms etc. also flash a clockworkmod.
com.htc file your saying is just a file, so your phone is not actually brick, also if you have 0.90 hboot, you search the chinese guide to s-off the device w/o xtc clip. like flashing rom1.zip except rom2.zip something like that, go to bbs.anzhi.com/bbs.xda.cn/bbs.gfan.com use google translate.
gud luck
That's the problem, in my country I cannot find xtc clip and I'm still searching for it..
xtc clip is the 100% solution but I cannot find one
Ok I'll search it for ya, wait a min. btw read my previous post.

I think that I found xtc clip in a neighborhood city....
Going to make it s-off...
Hi all,
I am trying to root my stock HTC desire HD phone using the HTC easy unlock bootloader tool (also tried directly from HTCdev and easy ace root tool).
I get stucked right in the beginning: when trying to get my unlock token i get an error:
[ERR] Command error
I am on build 3.12.405.2
I am on HBOOT 2.00.0027
While searching for a solution I found out that there might be a problem with the HBOOT version (although version above 2.00. should be working, isnt't?), so I tried to update HBOOT. Tried updating with RUU, which gave an error that i was on version 3.12.405.2, while i should have been on version 3.12.405.1, so than I extracted PD98IMG.zip from the .exe and have put it on the root of my SD card, booted in Bootloader, but no update occured.
Now I am stucked and have no idea what to do next,
- should i still update my HBOOT and if so, how??
- is HBOOT not the problem and is there another solution?
Please help, thanks a lot,
xx LittleGirl

The best is to create a goldcard and flash a RUU with a main version supported by HTCDEV. Then update the hboot and finally unlock the bootloader.

Hi All,
finally figured it out:
Fist update your HBOOT 2.00.0027 to 2.00.0029 following the small part in this link: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
after that: you can continue with unlocking trough HCTdev, than flash clockworkmod recovery, than activate superuser and than go on however you want! (i installed the rom manager app)

thanks a lot Glevitan, i was hoping a would get an answer from you . Eventually i didn't need to create a goldcard, just updating HBOOT using the link in my post above was enough to be able to continue!

That is just fine. But not for everyone..you gain tempo root to downgrade the main version and then flash GB rom. That is a nice move. :laugh:
