My Desire has some issues, it can no longer detect either the SD or SIM cards.
Fortunately it's insured through my bank account so I want to send it off to get fixed.
Problem is that even after flashing RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe, the latest official ROM downloaded from Shipped ROMs, it's still showing as :

I really would like it S-ON before returning it and have spent some time searching on how to do this with no success.
What am I doing wrong ?
first - u have to change hboot. download from alpharev bravo downgrade hboot, put it in sd card and flash, after this run RUU
if ur bravo don't detect sd card, choose fastboot, and flash hboot by this
Thanks - I'll have a look
I have to say I was a little confused by (bottom of first post) :
"If one day you want to S-ON your phone again, just reflash an original RUU rom !"

It will definitely work after downgrade.
Reflashing over revolutionary and alpharev hboot doesn't do the stuff, cause their hboots are write protected. It works only with downgrade, that's what it's made for.
Yes, that worked. Thank you neownc
Perhaps that guide I linked to needs altering. It is a bit misleading.

I tried searching for this but to no avail.. if some one here has better searchfu than me just point me in the right direction but here is my problem.
Im using a 2.2 android HTC desire from O2 I was following the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044 here to Root it. I installed the Hboot drivers fine and got Unrevoked working as far as i can tell.
I launch it and it goes through the entire process of restarting my phone into Hboot and then restarting again and stabilising then It starts to root.. says sucess then quickly changes to say "Internal Error: failed to unlock NAND flash?"
It then stops there restarts the phone and has had no effect at all..
Any help will be wonderful

Are you trying to use Unrevoked forever? That only works on CDMA phones (no sim card). If you just want root and flash different roms normal Unrevoked is fine. To see if it went oke boot in to recovery and see if it says ClockworkMod recovery. If yes, everything is fine regarding rooting.
If after this you want to S-off and have a GSM (sim card) phone use AlphaRev.
Im using the version available from unrevoked.com which i belive is just unrevoked
As for booting into recovery i try that... all i get is the phone symbol with the red triangle and then dont get past that when i push power and vol up..

This man speaks the truth, unrEVOked forever won't work on the sim card Desire. I you should now have standard super user permissions. if you do want S-off you will need to go the alpha rev route.
tried using a diff version of unrevoked and this time it says failed to flash recovery image
I just went through all of this with my own phone a few days ago. from what I have learned and read Unrevoked will not give you Nand unlock.
Strange. I tried the latest unrEVOked (not forever) on my unbranded Desire, and did not have any errors like these (NAND unlock, unable to flash). I have:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
except the radio is 5.11.05.27
Hmmm could it be the radio causing the play up?

Maybe.
But i should give it a try. Download the latest unrEVOked from here:

Also make sure, you have correctly installed the HBOOT drivers:

Hi folks, absolute novice here.
Apologies for replying to a very old thread, but I am having the same issue here with unrevoked - I simply cannot get my HTC Desire rooted.

You've searched too far back
Use the guides here to explain everything better: http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/503471-desire-all-things-root-guide.html
Follow it all the way through particularly terminology etc. Everything you need to know is there
Then use the guide to 's-off' using revolutionary. It doesn't technically root but will fully unlock your bootloader which is more powerful.
Hi. Recently my htc desire started rebooting when I used 3G.
Anyway this time it has gone for good and just hangs at the HTC bootscreen.
I tried going to bootloader -> recovery, but when I select it, it just reboots.
I have tried bootloader -> clear storage, but doesn't make a difference
After that I tried to flash it to the most recent RUU, but get a 131 customer ID error. Does anyone have any idea how I might install a new rom and get it working again - keeping in mind that I cannot boot the phone to a ROM?
Details that I have at bootscreen (back button + power) :
BRAVO UNKOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 0.75.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-4-05.00.11
It is from orange, but when I first got it I unlocked it and installed opendesire.
Thanks in advance.
Check bortak's troubleshooting guide.
I've had a look at the "Advanced Boot Problems - S-ON" section which seems to apply. Problem is in creating the goldcard. The tutorial says I need to be fully booted up ect. Any way I can do this and get the CID from fastboot alone?
What's your carrier?
It's with orange
Try to create goldcard with linux:
http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/how-to-create-goldcard-with-ubuntu.html
Ok, made goldCard and installed RUU mentioned in bortak's guide. Fastboot now looks like:
BRAVO PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-301D
TOUCH PANEL-DYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
so change there. Still hangs at the HTC boot screen.
What next!?
Got any errors when running RUU? If not, send it to HTC. You are back to stock and so there shouldn't be any problems.
I've had it for over a year and a half now. Would they still take it back?
Desire has a 2 year warranty so as long as you have a receipt or something you should be fine. I bought mine from CPW and they just used the serial number when returning-no problems at all.
Hey Guys,
I just tried to unroot my HTC Desire cause of warranty.
So I tried a ruu but it doesn't worked.
So i crated a PB99IMG an went to bootloader.
The bootloader made all but suddenly it said:
Main version is older / update failed !
Now I can't do anything than go to recovery
And at bootloader top those is standing:

Someone is able to tell me,what I can do that my phoen will work again (equal if rooted or unrooted)
tried my guide? I bet you haven't, and I bet this thread was pointless

Didn't tried it yet.
But I tried teh same RUU which you told. and there I'm getting the error that Main version is older !
So I'm actually s-on cause of an otehre ruu which i used before which amde me s-on but didn't flash a rom.
EDIT:
I downloaded your RUU again.
Made a PB99IMG and went to bootloader.
now it ask if I want to run update !
BUT my vol. up butten is broken (the reason why i want warranty)
so i cant confirm,any way to confirm without vol up ?
The error it's giving is impossible since you're flashing a RUU that is MUCH newer than what you appear to have there.. try the 2.3.3 RUU (since a WWE RUU won't cover warranty), that HAS to work.. and even if it gets stuck on the HTC screen or something it doesn't matter since you're getting it fixed anyway.
Hi,
I just need a confirmation, that i am doing it right. I need to get back to stock ROM... For gaining back warranty. Because this problem with camera (i already post it on thread) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358239

After that phone should be back on stock rom and have valid warranty??

You have to decide which method to use to flash the downgrader. Eather you download the PB99IMG.zip file and put it to your SDCARD root and boot the phone into hboot or you flash the bravo_downgrade.img file using a PC (via fastboot utility).
If you decide to flash via fastboot then check that MD5 sum of the downloaded .img file matches that specified in the alpharev's site.
I think that's easier to put PB99IMG.zip on root and to do that only with phone... So ill do it that way..
Then what?
I start RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe on computer?

Thanks a lot for help..
I copied PB99IMG.zip to root of SD. Turned off phone.
Started hboot mode (voldown + power).

(1) BOOTLOADER
Do you want to start update?
yes
no
I press yes then says bootloader - OK
Do you want to reboot device?
yes
And thats it? Am i doing it right? What now, to start on computer RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe ???
Yes, that's it. After rebooting, put your phone into fastboot mode, connect it to computer via USB and run the downloaded RUU.exe on your computer.
I have succeeded to get back factory settings.
I was hoping that camera will be back to normal, but problem stays.
I flashed same ROM that was on my phone.
Then i tried to flahs older ROM RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.0 0.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.
But it says error 104 cannot update , something like that.. How to pass that?
Will flashing older ROM maybe repair my camera?
Try 2.3.3 RUU from HTC Developer Center:
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Thanks for helping..
If I update to 2.3.3 (and problem with camera disappear, and dont need to get warranty) can i root my phone after , i've read on net that its difficult to do that?
Or can i easily downgrade to 2.2 and then root?
After flashing 2.3.3 RUU you can get S-OFF and root for Gingerbread in two very easy steps thanks to revolutionary:
http://revolutionary.io
But read documentary very careful before doing anything!
I flash it to 2.3.3 and problem with camera stays...
After i done upgrade i realesed that SIM-Unlock Utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943726 wont work on 2.3.3 gingerbread...
arghh...
I didn't wont to unlock it when was on 2.2. Before i take phone to official service to check camera, and see if it's fixable. Because unlocking possibile will break my warranty..
So is there any way to downgrade it to 2.2 again, and perform unlock after phone goes to official service... or maybe will unlock simply work on 2.3.3 when i try later
You can try one of 2.2. RUU and start over again.
Hi,
I'm S-OFF on my HTC Desire.
I've tried to install the Bravo Stock HBOOT from the alpharev website, i've follow the instructions :
You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'.
But nothing say/show me if the installation is good.
I've looked throught this forum and google without found an answer.
So my question is, how to know if i'm running this new hboot ?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
turn off ur phone then hold volume down + power and it will say at the top in pink. stock hboot will say Alpharev (in pink)
