My wife going to kill me
This is where the instructions I was using goldcard was succesful etc
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-desire/
The last stage I reach was n0.7
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it

Firstly, I'd recommend using unrevoked to root the phone. The way you are using is old and complicated.
Secondly, i imagine that your hboot is not 0.8 which means you'll need to downgrade.
It might be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750852 that you need to read and follow, although I'm not sure.
It would help if you knew what hboot you were.

hboot was 0.75 tmobile version was 1.15

With goldcard in the device, can you flash http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe successfully?

Device wont go into bootloader mode I'm trying this one now
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed
as the PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed_txt.zip
1 hour to download
This is crap

The RUU itself can't put into bootloader?
If you want to try unrevoked, this is the post you need:
Q. My screen goes blank when I use custom recovery with unrevoked3.
A. You have an SLCD display and will need to use an updated recovery image until unrevoked3 itself is updated. It is safe to use this updated image on AMOLED screens too. You can download the image here: http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749551 - has everything about slcd rtc

The main problem is my screen is black and I cant see anything although windows is still detecting device

Instead of the RUU, try giving unrevoked a whirl with that custom recovery image (make sure phone is unplugged whilst started unrevoked). Also, follow the instructions from unrevoked about installing the htc drivers (unless you have already installed the latest htc drivers).
Battery pull, then turn on whilst holding volume down. Hopefully this will give you bootloader and unrevoked should be able to do its magic (if you select that custom recovery image)
This will give you root.

http://unrevoked.com
1. Choose desire then download.
2. Follow instructions in hboot driver.html (to make sure your phone is recognised correctly)
3. Run reflash.exe
4. File>Custom Recovery (Ctrl+R)
5. Download and select http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
6. Plug in desire - hopefully you have USB debugging enabled. If not, I think you can achieve root by loading bootloader yourself (battery pull device and then vol down + power)

I done everything but still dont understand what to do with this recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
the drivers were installed correctly and my computer can see my device,
But still no luck I think I'm missing something I cant see anything on my screen, I know the device alive as I can hear the atrt up sound and compuer now detect in device manager

This is what hapens when I try to attempt flashing with official ruu

Ok unplug the desire from the pc then battery pull and then hold volume-down (on left hand side of the phone) and then press power (whilst holding volume-down). Then plug in and run the RUU again.
With that recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img, you select it in unrevoked by pressing ctrl + r (on windows) and then just connect your desire.
Do the RUU first

first think u sholud know about rooting is hboot version.. maybe you have hboot 083 version

Thanks I will try, I think my device was 0.75 software version 1.15 but will try, I'm getting annoyed now

Did u try to flash using xp instead of Vista or seven? Hope it will help, because I've installed a dual boot seven/xp in my laptop to root and flash, as seven recognized my Desire but I couldn't detect the phone with HTC sync or official ruu

Its detected and ruu runs and check my current version and shows which version I'm uploading to, the problem is its trying to detect bootloader and thats where its failed

Did you do what i said? battery pull, then voldown + power?

This is the failed flash ruu after trying to find bootloader
I think this is getting hopeless and I want to thank so far all those who are helping me

[Q] I dunno what is the situation here.. BRICKED maybe..

I have a special situation here.. I rooted my phone then S-OFF.. Then i want to return to stock so i downloaded RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed.exe to flash back... Now i think my phone is dead.. When i press the Power Button, it only vibrate and the phone wont turn on.. Anyone can help with this situation? T.T It's an Asia Desire..

You probably SLCD bricked it. Do you hear the annoying boot sound that the phone makes? If so you SLCD bricked it for sure. Did you make a goldcard?

Ya. Mine is SLCD. I didn't hear anything.. It just vibrate once.. Do i need goldcard for generic Desire?

Is it a generic unbranded desire? If so, take the battery out to completely turn it off. Put the battery back in and boot into fastboot by holding back + Power for a few seconds. It probably won't react or vibrate but you probably will be there. Connect it to your PC. Now download 1.21 WWE RUU(See the sticky in android development section) and run it on a windows PC.

You probably want to flash the newer 2.13.707.1 RUU. That's the stock Froyo ROM for hTC_Asia_WWE. Shipped-roms.com has a copy.

[Q] Desire Blackscreen

Hello,
i flashed my hboot back from ogxygen to default hboot, after
reboot i just saw a black screen. The leds are blinking green and orange if i put out the battery and if i insert it, the leds are orange.
If i start the desire the leds are not showing something and its still blackscreen.How i can repair it? =(
sry for bad english

i'm no expert but have you tried going in to the Bootload menu (power off phone, hold down the back button and power on holding both button down unlit phone starts up)?
Then if you can get in to the Bootloader screen you can then try to go to Recovery option or flash from your PC using ADB.
Have you made a NAND back up before you flashed your Hboot?

Yes i already did, but always blackscreen not vibrating or something like that
no i dont have a nand backup, why i need 1? someone could give me a link?
or make a backup and upload it?

if you connect phone to pc , is it recognized by PC?
if yes try to run an official RUU from shipped roms.

no my pc isnt showing something up

It is a bit late but check the md5 of the hboot you flashed, if it does not match I think you are pretty screwed otherwise it probably is still fixable.

how i can fix? damned thats my dads desire he will kill me :/

i don't think you can, you have to take it back for repair.
or you can find someone with jtagbox.http://www.jtagbox.com/jtag-news/riff-jtag-htc-desire-unlock-unbrick-imei-repair-supported/

will they repair my desire if i send it back? cause its flashed

It depends on how much they can see from it.
Sent from my LeeDroided Desire HD

ähm... what they will do after repair when they see thats my desire is flashed?

If they find out that it was a rooted desire or that you caused the fault, they are happy to repair it but they will charge you big time. Somewhere around here someone named 200 euro i think. But you might get lucky and they repair it cost free, has also happened before.

What you have is the slcd desire brick. Follow the thread in my signature with the ruu for your region- how to unroot the desire.

Return to s-on

Been trying to get my desire back to s-on to send for repair. Was on cm7 hboot, flashed back to alpharev standard desire hboot and flashed the standard HTC ROM but it still shows alpharev in fastboot. Do I need to flash the alpharev hboot remover then flash the HTC ruu? Or is there something else I need to do ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Flash the alpha rev downgrade hboot then flash the ruu.

Thanks. Will try that when I get home.
Worked like a charm, off to HTC with it now.

Many thanks in dispensing your stark authoritarian observations.
I appeared ignorent in decipering the text from ‘fridgeman’ but have arrived at a greater understanding as time has passed.

If you are S-Off and want to return to S-On...
1. Enable USB Debuging on your phone
2. Visit this page http://alpharev.nl/ and scroll down to the table
3. Download the ‘Bravo Downgrader: PB99IMG_downgrade’
4. Rename ‘PB99IMG_downgrade’ to ‘PB99IMG’
5. Transfer ‘PB99IMG’ to the root directory of your phones SD card
6 Make sure you have no similar files at the root of your SD
7 On 2.3.3 make sure you disable ‘Fastboot’ goto - Settings - Applications – Disable Fastboot
8 Power down your phone
9 Whilst holding ‘Volume Down’ button press the ‘Power’ button
10 The bootloader screen should appear. Give it a minute to scan for the file and it will ask you if you want to go ahead with the installation, ‘Volume Up’ to select ‘yes’
11 Now you can flash your RUU stock ROM

Why the hell gets this question asked over and over again.... it was answered a thousand times.

I know its been asked many times but what about if you carrier doesn't have a ruu

No ruu = no warranty
(Btw If u are s-on just flash a stock rom, if s-off maybe u could flash some stock hboot, extracting it from a similar ruu...just to make ur phone appear stock and hope)
People should first learn how come back to stock, then starting rooting..

Then I would flash the ruu from htc and sent it directly to them without the detour about my carrier.

I don't have to send it to HTC I must send it to my carrier or take it into my carrier store.

What is "your carrier"? If we can know it
Are u sure about no ruu around?
Sent from my HTC Desire

No ruu for carrier
I'm with a regional carrier called Cellular South.

If I remember correctly, on xda (or a similar forum) exists a guide how to return us cellular back to stock. Just search a little for it.

i have done these steps and while flashing the RUU i am getting a Bootloader error, then going to fastboot, and it shows a stock hboot 0.75 so lost the s-off but still cant install the stock rom :/

Which ruu did you flash?

Was running official Gingerbread
PB99IMG_downgrade took me from s-on HBOOT 6.9.3.1002
to
s-off HBOOT 6.93.999
ran official FROYO Ruu......then Unrevoked back to root

[Q] could this problem be solved?

hi peeps im having troubles with this fone my sister has given it to me and asked me to fix it basically what is happening is that when i try to power on im just getting htc flashing at the start nothing else happens i was hoping i could get root and get a custom rom on it but i cant as i need to get to the menu on the fone to enalbe usb debugging etc? is there anything i can do thanks?
craig

Pull battery and put back in then hold volume down + power button and tell us what it says in the menu. S-on/off, hboot etc etc. Also read bortak's guide in Desire Q&A/ stickies. If you are on your computer/laptop it will be the first post in Desire Q&A.
Sent from my HTC Desire

well volume down and power i get fastboot recovery clear storage or simlock but i can only do this if the usb is connected soon as i unplug it goes off? when i try using recovery there is no recovery cwm etc i have flashed custom roms etc before on xperia x10 mini and i was hoping id be able to do something similar on this? also on x10 mini if there is a problem on your fone you can use sony erricson update servive to reflash original firmware cant seam to do that with this as fone wont switch on ?

Ok go to desire q&a/stickies and read bortaks guide. Go down to [2]
U will have to create a gold card then run ruu. The links to both are there. Read the guide, its very good

ok mate thanks a lot will let you know how i get on
but the problem i seam to be hitting is the 1st option to install a recovery the download link dont work :S

Running the ruu will revert ur phone to stock and then u can continue with s-off etc etc.
