I had a rooted desire and I thought stupidly by using an RUU that it would unroot the phone (I know stupid idea) anyways after the install my desire now won't boot into anything instead I just have black and white boxes and I can't get into clockwork recovery because it does the exact same thing. The only thing I can get into is the bootloader and I can't do much from there. Can anyone help?
Ok....
What Hboot were you using , Data++, CM7/R2, Stock???
Are you S-On or S-Off,
If your are S-Off, you can reflash a custom recovery and hboot,
Whether you can restore you phone to a working state now depends on if you are S-Off.
Look at bortak's guide.

Are you serious?
what u mean
It doesn't matter, which rom you are using. I used the CD-method to S-Off my Desire, but I think it should also work using vmware.
You can't prevent alpharev from changing your splash screen, but there are tools in this forum, which allow you to change it to whatever you want afterwards.

You can change the splash screen with Android Flasher - It can be found in the Developement sub-forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
If you need a stock ROM, then you can either flash the RUU (You lose Root, S-Off) or flash a pre-rooted stock ROM (can be found in the Developement sub-forum).
S-Off via VMWare can be done, but if you are stuck use the USB or CD method instead (people reported issues with VMWare).
dont try to do S-OFF unless you are running stock rooted ROM
best is to run a RUU, then root, then go s-off
if you try to S-OFF while on a2sd+ or data2xxx rom, procedure will fail, and it might brick your phone (it fails after going past STEP3 - DONT UNPLUG YOUR P_HONE OR U WILL BRICK IT) but i unplugged it, and was ok, then RUU and again whole thing worked
I had problems with s-off on my stock sense rom (rooted).
I made a goldcard, rooted, then alpharev would not recognise my device.
Soon as I switched to rooted aosp rom (oxygen) it was fine!

Just flash stock rooted froyo, done the trick for me.
OP, just search for how to s-off, there are answers to all you questions available. I know that, as i only recently s-offed myself.
So, can i do this?
1. do nandroid backup
2. use froyo asia wwe ruu(im from singapore)
3. root with unrevoked
4. s-off with vmware
5. restore
But err, one question, if i was damn unlucky and brick my device, can i just use the RUU and restore it back?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069600
Just follow the guide on the thread. If you brick your device, there is no way back. That's why its called brick. There are semi bricks, which can be fixed.

hi my HTC Desire says PVT1 S-OFF already
this make any difference between AlphaRev S-off?? or i need to go through this method also??
Just install a rom without A2SD (like Leedroid 2.4.1 no-A2SD or Teppic's rom) and then you can S-OFF your desire. I advice you to write the .img on a cd and then boot on this, you won't encounter any issue.
Afterwards you can apply a new splash on your Desire, like the stock one (which is available on alpharev website).

pvt-4 desires try to activate bluetooth after alpharev 1.8 if it doesnt activate pm me
I recently attempted to root my desire with unrevoked. It seemed to go well and i attempted to flash a custom rom. I made a nandroid back up too. However, now the device is stuck in boot loop and i can't flash another rom or restore from nandroid backup. I've tried pushing roms from fastboot, running the telstra RUU and nothi g has worked. The closest i have got to it working is on the bootloader, it automatically detects that i have Pb99DIAG.zip and tries to install that but says it cannot verify signature.
I have a pvt4 desire with hboot version 0.93.0001 if that is any help
I apologise if this has been posted before but i have been tring to get this fixed for ages Any help will be appreciated.
Why can't you flash another rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I've tried heaps of roms and none of them seem to install. They all say the rom cannot be found or something.
What recovery do you use?
Also does the sd card mount if you try that in recovery? What does it say when you try to connect it to usb?

Did u integrate amonra-recovery in unrevoked before starting to root with it? Imo the standardrecovery in unrevoked, clockworkmod, does not work with pvt4- desires.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I used amonra. When i try to mount the ext sdit just comes up with an error saying i cant....
Toggle signatur verify (amonra-recovery>other>toggle signatur vetify) and then try to flash again.

So you S-OFFed and then ran Telstra RUU ?
That is supposed to bring your phone to stock. Now you are S-ON or OFF ?
My phone is s-on. When i rooted it with unrevoked it didn't turn s-off. I tried that signature verify thing and it still won't work :S

Rooting and S-OFF-ing are two completely different things. You got confused.
You have to do them both in order to install certain ROMs.
Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
Which ROM do you wish to install ?
i want tog back to the telstra 2.2 rom. I have rooted my phone, but i can't do the s-off thing aith alpharev cause it won't turn on properly

Got it working by formatting my extSD and installing auraxTsense rom. Thanks for the help guys.
Hello,
I have a Desire with stock Froyo which i rooted using Unrevoked 3.32 with the default recovery. Now I read online that there is a newer Desire, which doesn't get rooted properly, and I think I have one of them. In hboot my phone says PVT4 SHIP S-ON. I read that it's better to have the Amon Ra recovery flashed, so I downloaded it and tried to put it on the phone using Unrevoked again. But it crashed asking me to force close the Zyploit process. I tried using Unrevoked with the default recovery, but it did the same thing. Does anyone have an idea how to root the phone properly and get the Amon Ra recovery on it, so that I can change my rom?
Thank you in advance, and I am sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place. I'm a noob..
If your still not rooted, then you could use an older version of unrevoked, think 2.21 works the best but most people will just tell you to use revolutionary. Using revolutionary will make it a lot easier and should work flawlessly.
After flashing the froyo ruu, I have checked in my hboot and it still says alpharevx s-off. I'm slightly confused. Is it still safe to carry on with flashing a recovery and rooting again?

It's ok, flashing ruu don't restore your hboot...

Yes you can flash a recovery and get root again as long as you have S-OFF. Because Revolutionary changed the HBoot to 6.x. flashing an RUU with HBoot 0.80/1.00x cannot replace it. In case you want to get rid of S-OFF, you'll have to follow this:

hello, as i said my wildfire with HBOOT 1.01.0002 and it's written that it's S-OFF but when i try to flash recovery it wont. i rooted my phone before but i installed stock 2.2.1 rom recently. so do i have to make the whole process from the beginning and downgrade then S-off and all that stuff?
PLEASE answer me i'm afraid of bricking my phone and i do really need to root it now. will there be a problem if S-off while it's already s-off?
This also happened to me when I re-installed the stock ROM on my Wildfire. I did the whole process from the beginning again and it worked like a treat.
Message me if you need any help.

What method are you using to flash the recovery? Fast boot is not enabled on that bootloader version. You must use the pc49img method.
Flash the Revolutionary HBOOT
Fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
Or you can use the dd if of method.
