Hi, I have just bought a second hand Desire for my wife. The person I bought it off had changed the HBOOT and put Oxygen rom on it. She wanted it back to sense so I tried to flash the official RUU via HTC Synch thinking it would change the HBOOT at the same time. Now all I have is HTC in the middle of the screen with an exclamation mark in each corner.
Anyone give me a step by step guide of how to get it working again??.
Thanks in advance.....

cant u just flash the alphrev stock hboot or zip. or reflash recovery??

Read the adb and Fastboot faq via my signature (ignore all the adb stuff, read just fastboot).
Set up your computer for fastboot (or download Fastboot flash utility - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638)
Download this: http://alpharev.nl/bravo_downgrade.img
Boot into fastboot (from off hold back and press power)
Using the knowledge from the FAQ and / or Fastboot flash utility, Flash the bravo_downgrade.img as a hboot (eg fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img)
Run RUU again
This may not make sense looking at it now, but read the FAQ and it will.

I cannot install the android flasher as (on one pc) it says I need .net framework which I downloaded but then it says searching for updates and then says an exception has occured and won't do anything else. And on my laptop it says error checking for updates and then get the exception message.
Any ideas??
Easy way- grab PB99IMG.zip containing bravo_downgrade.img from Alpharev, check md5 checksum (if it's not correct- redownload), put it on SD and boot to bootloader. Hboot will be flashed by bootloader itself

This is why we need to use fastboot flash. Try the manual method from the FAQ.

Hi all.
Download and unzip unrevoked, the easiest rooting method known to man. This works on any HTC phone, so if you have a different phone than the Incredible 2, just select whatever phone you have.
Thanks.

Dont worry what is already in there, thats nothing to do with what we're doing. Zune is an MS thing so its not implausable that its there.
1 thing though, is it my sdk tools, or googles? If its googles, check in the folder to make sure adb and fastboot are there, as they may actually be in platform-tools instead. Amend the line you are adding if that is the case. Or just add both, ie:
;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

Remove RUU from sd-card or remove card- bootloader tries to flash it if file is found.
Also in bootloader mode you don't have access to adb- this requires running system or recovery.

This is bootloader screen but it finds update package (PB99IMG.zip) on sd card and tries to flash it- this is normal behaviour.
Remove RUU form sd-card and you will have access to fastboot

Hello,
my HTC desire has been rooted for like 8 months or so, with Oxygen 2.3.2 ROM installed. Yesterday i had my first problem, my apps began to freeze, and it ended up that my hole phone were froozen. I pulled my battery in and out, nothing happened.
I went into recovery and made a factoery reset, and wiped everything i could (i have read, that it was a good idea) and when i turned my phone up again, i realised that i had deleted my ROM on the phone...
So again... i went in to recovery and tryed to flash my ROM again, but i ran into a problem:
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
after i googled and tryed for like an hour and a half, i got it fixed with
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
and as i remember i took my batteri out again, and placed my memery-card into my computer, moved my ROM (oxygen 2.3.2) over again. So i tryed to get into recovery, but now it wont get in there, after i press the POWER-button on "Recovery" it just stocks on the HTC load screen, i left it that way the hole night, and when i woke up, nothing was happened...
i pulled my battery out, and now i got some problems just booting up to fastboot/hboot to.
so the problems now:
problems getting into RECORVERY
Sometimes problems booting to HBOOT/FASTBOOT
If you need any information, please tell me so
PS: Im sorry if my english is kind of bad
You should try flashing a new recovery image via fastboot once you get there. That worked for me when i couldnt enter recovery.

I assume you are S-OFFed so just download a recovery.img file of your recovery, boot into fastboot and flash via fastboot utility your recovery.img file like 'fastboot flash recovery path\to\recovery.img'
Goodluck!

"I'm S-ON, I can't boot recovery, and my phone doesn't boot "
This is a bit of a worse situation, as you cannot flash system critical parts such as the recovery image and just restore a backup. This unfortunately means that you will lose all of your data when you attempt to fix the phone.
[STEP1]- Make sure that you have a goldcard. If not, create one from the tutorial.
[STEP2]- Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP3]- Download the latest WWE RUU from here
[STEP4]- Run the RUU and wait for completion WARNING: DO NOT, BY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INTERRUPT THE PROCESS - THIS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY END UP WITH A BRICKED PHONE - NOT EVEN IF GOD HIMSELF TELLS YOU TO DO SO, OR IF THE US PRESIDENT THREATENS YOU WITH THERMO-NUCLEAR WAR
[STEP5]- Once the phone is booted, you are now returned completely to stock. You will need to re-root again, and I'd recommend S-OFF

SLCD brick?
Try to pull the battery, power on + back (this will get you into fastboot), wait about 10-20 seconds, then connect it to usb. In fastboot utility type 'fastboot devices' and see if it detects your phone. If it does, run an RUU.

Try this:
1. power down
2. remove battery
3. press and hold power button for 10 sec.
4. reinstall battery
5. press and hold the volume down button
6. press the power button to turn the phone on but DO NOT release the volume button until you can see the boot screen.
when you are in the boot screen one of the options in the list should say recovery. use the volume button to navigate down to that option and press the power button to select it. your phone should then boot into recovery and you will get the recovery screen and choices.
thanks
i did it but when i get into recovery i see the phone with the sing and then i reboot get stock in htc evo 4g logo if u have any idea how to get into the phone to flash any rom would b perfect tnx
Sounds like it could be a USB brick. This has happened to me before. I remember when that happened to me and couldn't get into recovery. For some reason when I plugged in the micro usb to the phone it would let me boot into recovery. Give that a shot and try searching usb brick. Also my sd card could not be recognized once I booted into recovery.
How did you try to downgrade?

ok well i flash 2 programs 1 flash_image 2 mtd-eng then run the pc36img but nothing happen it says cant roll back hboot n i reboot the phone n i went to the bootloader n it was locked n i try to enter to the recovery n show me the phone w/ the sing...
any idea where can i get an usb brick??
I'm not familiar with a USB brick, but I believe that your computer can still read your phone through USB. I see that you were trying to S-OFF the phone. Looks like something went wrong when you flashed the misc partition, which locked your bootloader once again.
You should try running an RUU file from your computer with your phone connected which can be found here.
http://goo.im/stock/supersonic/ruu/...15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed.exe
But first, you will need to install the Fastboot drivers to your computer which can be found here
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
You need to run the RUU from your phone's bootloader from FASTBOOT USB (click on Fastboot then run the RUU from your computer).
If that works, that should at least get your phone back going again (unrooted of course).
i did but w/ the ruu doesnt work too appears error 155 unknow problem n stops i dont know what else to do
Just checking, did you run the RUU in FASTBOOT USB which should have been highlighted in red from your bootloader after clicking FASTBOOT? Also, with your phone connected to your computer while in FASTBOOT USB, check your computer's device manager from the control panel and see do you see anything under Android USB devices.
And too, which PC36IMG file did you try to run?
Sounds like you tryed to downgrade your hboot to the Eng hboot. If that is what you did, then congradulations! You have successfully bricked your device! Hboots are generally NOT downgradable...especially 2.18 to eng

Yea, I was afraid that the wrong PC36IMG file was indeed used. Generally on the newer phones, any downgrade of the Hboot below 2.02 is a guaranteed brick. That's why Captain Throwback only recommends PC36IMG files down to Hboot 2.10 (the 2.02 ones don't work with S-ON phones). On the older hardware however, the Hboot can be downgraded to anything, including 0.76 from 2.18. I've done it on mines. You just have to know which hardware version and partition erasesize your phone has.
the one that i get from evohacks pc36img i think i need one way to flash a rom
the one i get from a post in htcevohacks
is the pc36img

The best advice that I can give you is to reboot the phone into FASTBOOT USB (connect it to your computer, then go to your bootloader and click on FASTBOOT), then go back to the HTCdev site, start over and try to re-unlock your bootloader. If you can do that, then I may have a workaround for you If not, there might not be much else that you can do.
ok i did everything that u tell me n now i rename the zip (ss_stock_4.67.651) in PC36IMG n then reflash recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3 now i can get into the recovery menu n i flash the rename (ss_stock_4.67.651) PC36IMG n i have a rom from sprint but now i still cant use adb command so what else shuld i do to recovery to normal n there r many issues that cant load like mail that is forced to sptop unexpected n thank u for all ur help!!

Oh no. I don't know which tutorial you got those instructions from.
I'm also lost with your description of what happened. I hope you unlocked your bootloader, and can now boot into the operating system. If so, you were not suppose to rename the ss_stock_4.67 file to PC36IMG. You were suppose to flash that through RECOVERY as is. If I were you, I would go back to RECOVERY, and wipe All Factory/Reset (or whatever it says) and Dalvik-cache, then reflash the ss_stock file or another ROM.
Second, the adb commands only work from the operating system, not FASTBOOT. You need to be inside the operating system with your phone connected to your computer and USB Debugging enabled under Settings/Applications.
ok here i am
i change the name cos the bootloader let me flash the recovery amon ra 2.3 then i can see the recovery menu n i flash the rom named pc36img n give me the sprint w/ errors now i download another rom that i flash n now my computer can read the sdcard but im still locked n i dont know if im still rooted so the what i think is i have a usb brick so i need to unbrick my usb to use the adb command so i apreciate ur help w/ this thanks all of u for ur help

Things that you forgot to mention is BOOT LOADER,is it locked Or unlocked?
it will written above your phone's Hboot -2.00.0027.
If it's unlocked that try locking it back and then run stock RUU the one you were using it in last working stat.
Thanks.

It's really easy.....as you may check that i am also new to xda infect i registered on December last month,ever since then i get to know things which i didn't know before so don't worry it will take time but you will know step by step.
As you have mention about S-On and some other detail by pressing volume down and power button.,the same way do it.
first phone should be switched off,and press volume down and power button together,once you see white background with several information regarding your phone's current status.
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
and some others but in that screen look for top on the list it should written locked or relocked,if not then you have to lock it back in order to run any stock RUU.
as you said that any sim card works which means that your phone is unlocked to network. but for now if there is no other issue in your phone than you have to relock the bootloader in order to run STOCK RUU.
without locked boot loader you won't be able to install RUU.
If it stats ***Locked*** than just flash any RUU by double clicking on it.,if not than just follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336

you can try flashing RUU with the latest or same version as you know that you already using it..but firstly you must find the correct RUU that are suitable with you CIDnum (country ID) of you phone...or else you might using a goldcard method
to check the CIDnum of your phone..your pc must have the latest HTC driver (you can find it here ), and your must already had ADB/ SDK to running android debugging bridge (you can download it minimal ADB from here or download full SDK from here )
after that get your phone to the bootloader n select FASTBOOT then connecting your phone with your pc..then open cmd and change source to your ADB / SDK folder..then typing "fastboot devices" (this is to see connected of your phone to pc)
if success connected..the output will prompt it of your phone serial number..after that you can continue to typing "fastboot getvar all"
then see your CIDnum in the line of output "INFOCID.....XXXX"
hope this help..

because..you already suggest it to OP to relock his phone bootloader..that's mean you already assume that his bootloader is already unlocked just not show in the top of bootloader..
because of that...i just wanna correct that..because what i know until now is.. actually the bootloader of Ace..by default is indeed nothing showing state locked or unlocked on the top of bootloader.. that's why i suggest him to flashing RUU again..no needed to relock bootloader first..
i just wanna correct miss direction to the OP....nothing else..
anyway..i'm really glad and appreciated to see you wanna trying helping all people in this forum..mate

that's CID num is for RUU HTC India 3.13.720.2 , but i can't find it anywhere ...
so i think you must using goldcard to flashing another RUU with version above 3.13.720.2
here some of other RUU with version above than yours..:
RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HKCSL_CHT_3.13.832.4_R_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_234218_signed.exe
or

sorry..forgot..your phone still can't booting normal..
so i suggest you to unlock bootloader via HTCdev unlock first..then installing custom recovery like 4ext or TWRP..then installing custom rom..
after that..if you still wanna back to the stock again...then you can do it with relock bootloader first then continued to process making a gold card..then flashing the RUU that i give it to you above..
just go to https://www.htcdev.com/ ..don't forget to sign up first..then select unlock bootloader..after that..you must download the latest hboot from there..then extracted the rom.zip from exe..copied to your adb/fastboot.exe folder then update your hboot via fastboot.. with command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then continued "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" wait until finish..if doesn't automatic reboot just type "fastboot reboot bootloader" then cek your hboot that's already change to hboot 2.00.0029..then you can continued to FASTBOOT mode again..then type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" ..after you get token...then you can continued to process submit token to htcdev unlock for request unlock.bin from htc to unlock your bootloader..
hope this can help..

you don't need HTC sync to do that...just download SDK from here.. and placed in C:\ drive on your pc.
then you continued to step :
1. download your hboot update from here..
2. after you already download your hboot.. running that exe file until next to second step..now you must hold at this point..don't close this..let open
3. open explorer then search the rom.zip file under C:\Users\"your username"\AppData\Local\Temp\ "you will see a lot of folder like this {5917E83E-C23B-491F-9D62-6AB7E6E87DC6} and you must try looking one by one by open it and see there is a file dotnetinstaller.exe inside that folder and had a folder like before too {5917E83E-C23B-491F-9D62-6AB7E6E87DC6}..then open it again that folder..now you can find the rom.zip file in there"
4. copying that rom.zip file to your SDK under platform-tools folder..and turn on your phone again with pressing and hold volume down+power until get inside bootloader then select FASTBOOT mode
5. open cmd change source to your SDK / platform-tools folder then typing "fastboot devices" enter to checking first that your phone is already connected properly
5. typing "fastboot oem rebootRUU" enter
6. "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" enter and wait until finish..
7. now if succes you can continued to the step unlocking your bootloader just following instruction from www.htcdev.com
8. if already success unlock your bootloader..then you can continued installing custom recovery like 4ext recovery (just try searching it on google how to do that)
9. download custom rom..then installing
10. done..enjoy it

Dear all,
I have been looking around the forums and downloaded a few things and looked at various solutions, but I am stuck at the first hurdle.
I have been given an htc Desire Bravo that just will not boot. I do not know how it failed originally but I can only get it into the boot screens, either the fastboot/hboot logon ot the 5 buzzes and the htc logo lock. Also it takes about 30 minutes with the battery out after every failed boot attempt to restart the boot screen.
I have run adb but it cannot tell me a cid number, I have a micro sd card in it but it does not have the pb99diag.zip on it. When I put such a file on the sd card it does not find it. Communication via adb and the phone has varied success. I suspect it is drivers and what I read is an old adb bug where server is out of date.
I have never done this before this weekend so please be gentle with me!
If I can get it to work, even to use it like a wifi tablet without phone I would be happy. I am in the UK and if we have real success I would get it on tesco PAYG
I get the "cannot find pb99diag.zip etc" dialogue when going into hboot.
The logon says

First make S-Off. I forgot how but if i think right, you must it do via revolutionary, If it success, then download 4ext recovery.IMG and flash it via fastboot and reboot in bootloader in your recovery

If u phone does not boot then u can NOT s-off, ur phone needs to be booted.. also if ur s-on and not rooted then all u can do is flash a ruu.
Did u try factory reset from bootloader menu? Try that first, u never know but chances r ul prob need to ruu a ruu.

Hi jmcclue,
Thanks for the comments. I can boot to the HBoot and Fastboot screens, thats how I could find the S-ON and version data. If I get it to reboot, I get either a white screen with just "htc" on it, or 5 buzzes and a screen with no life at all. I am hopeful to get it to S-OFF as I have had some communication through the usb to pc connection. I am not sure if I can do an RUU update as I don't seem to have a CID. I do not have a factory reset option on the HBOOT screen. I have tried clear storage but that has no effect. Perhaps I need the S-OFF first.
Cheers again,
A
Use the 2.3gb update ruu its wwe (world wide english) so dont worry bout cid. U can find it in bortaks troubleshooting guide in resources section and its naned 2.3.3 ruu. U will find it easy enough in google aswell. Search for "htc desire 2.3gb update" its a exe file so just boot ur phone into fastboot, plug in ur phone and run the ruu, hopefully it willvwork. Im a bit worried tho about the 5 vibrations u get, maybe a sign of hardware failure. But try that ruu anyway. And again u can not get s-off unless ur phone is fully working/booted.

Well that was a bit wierd
If anyone can see where I went wrong, feel free to say.
I could not seem to get the link between the phone and the pc so I removed the htc sync and restarted the pc. I could then connect to the phone in some way as abd gave a command error when I sent a fastboot oem readcid which it normally does. So leaving it in fastboot with usb I ran the wwe~.exe file and it all seemed to be doing installing. There were tens of installations going to the phone I guess each reaching 100%. Suddenly I had a web page popup in my browser s.rev2pub.com/ul_cb/player.html?a=19471543&context=c23573548&size=800x600&rt=popunder&ci=10&cb=[CACHEBUSTER] recommending I download latest drivers. The wwe ruu vanished and I have no continuing processes in Task manager that I can see.
So, should I have installed in hboot? Thankfully I can still get the phone to power on. What should happen after the exe file installs?
I am able to get some response from the phone as adb devices returns the phone device number. So I hope I can try again.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks

Hey Adrian, I had the same problem as you did, hopefully I can be of help.
First, like everyone else is saying you will need S-OFF.
To do this head to this site on your PC revolutionary.io hit download for windows or Linux or whatever your pc is running, then you will need to fill out information about your device (see attached screenshot). Device, HBoot number, and serial number, (the serial number can be found behind the battery of your device). Once you have done that, click "Generate Key". it will give you a key, remember it or write it down.
Then, open the file that was downloaded, and extract the contents to your documents and Run the revolutionary( should look like the screenshot attached). Plug your device in (assuming you have the drivers) and it should ask you to enter the beta key we had before. Enter that and hit enter. it will then S-off your Desire and soon ask if you would like to install a custom recovery. hit Y and then enter, once that is finished, unplug your device and in HBoot go to "Recovery". Now you can flash a ROM of your choice.
Hopefully I made sense!
Best of luck

Thank you Neibaf97
Can I confirm that I can do this from the HBOOT screen or the fastboot screen? Also where jmmclue said if I can't boot then I can't S-Off, does that mean boot to the HBOOT screen or into Android? Then if I want to load say WWE, do I put that on a microSD to get it to recover?
thanks again

Thanks lilsafbig, that was a little too ambiguous to understand, but I have a few developments.
I am able to communicate to some degree with adb between phone and pc. Before I was unable to get anything back but now with the right syntax I have got back the CID as HTC_001 and the device number. But when I run revolutionary from the fastboot USB screen the revolutionary continues to wait for the device to show. Is it likely that USB degugging was off prior to the failure, is there a way to get it on. I suggest this as when I connect it to my pc it recognizes the device and shows in the device manager as an htc unspecified device (this is progress). As I cannot boot android it does not show as an additional drive in file manger. when I try some of the fastboot oem commands I get bad command errors, whilst fastboot getvars is ok. Could this be why I cannot get revolutionary to S-OFF!
Thanks
additional info, when usb is in an in fastboot usb, the device manager sees it as android 1.0

If you can still get to bootloader / fastboot screen, then you are rarely ever bricked.
1. Ignore anything and everything to do with revolutionary and fastboot for now. I'm afraid the first few posts while trying to be helpful have been misleading. Get your phone booting up into Android OS first, i.e. into a stock ROM using an RUU
2. Use the 2.3.3. GB RUU, nothing else, it doesn't need a goldcard or care about CID etc.
3. Download it from the bottom here, then use Bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, Point [7] to run it as a PB99IMG.zip from the root of your sdcard. That way you don't need to run it through USB or care about what drivers are installed.
Thank you Eddie, I will try that. I did try flash a PB99IMG.zip before with no success but I will try again.
I found it here Official Stock Sense Gingerbread_v1.2 GB-2.3.3_A2SD – http://androidba.se/J7 for desire (neophyte)
I hope it can work out ok. I guess I format the sd card to fat32 not ext4
Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks,

That's a custom rom.

That did not work because the file is not an RUU...it is a stock rooted custom ROM with A2SD (the clue is in the name). It is designed to flashed in recovery like any other ROM. Renaming it to PB99IMG.zip won't do anything.
Use the actual shipped roms RUU link provided.
Reformat your sdcard to a single FAT32 partition if necessary, then follow Method [7] of the guide, place only the PB99IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard (not in any folder)
