Are you sure it shows HBOOT-0.92.0001 ???

The latest Hboot version is 6.93.. if that is your Hboot .. it difficult to get back but you can try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10919215&postcount=5
But if your Hboot is.. 0.93 than you can download below file.. rename it as only PB99IMG.ZIP and put it into root of you sd card.. and switch your phone by pressing volume down and power.. it will automatic detec the file and flash it..
IMPORTANT this will required a goldcard.. but your can try first without making one..
it might get your USB working

thanks for reply.
yes HBOOT ver is same as i mentioned.
ADB is not detecting my device as posted on your given link that i have to ADB but ADB is not detecting my device even though PC device manager shows Android phone.

When you are in fastboot.. that is volum down and power... update your driver with below
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
and check adb

just installed drivers as per given instruction device manager shows Android ADB interface but again ADB shows error: device not found.

Download this
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
And than flash from this... I think you did not had USB debugging on .. when your phone was working... that could be the reason..
can you try this command ... fastboot devices

on flashing ROM got error [131]:CUSTOMER ID ERROR

yehs.. you need to create a goldcard...
Please check your ADB now.. is it is working ..creating a goldcard is easy
just go to
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

ADB is still not detecting my device.when i have no other phone then how can i make gold card as gold card can only make through phone.

yehs you can... one of the easiest way is.. if you have any one around having android phone.. just put your memorycard in that phone.. and in market search for an app called goldcard helper..it will give you your reverse CID..
If you dont have that .. than also there is a way.. but it will take time and you need to do lots of thing..
what you can do is.. if you are using windows pc.. than you can install... virtual machine.. and install linux in it.. so when you open linux.. you can get your memory card cid from there.. i dont knw the exact steps.. but you can easly find on Google.. ...
Once you got CID.. you can follow the above goldcard guide.. from step 7..
On a other note.. remove memorycard from your mobile.. and than flash the RUU .. see what happer.. you may never know

i think you should try to make ADB work.. thought when I bricked my mobile .. i was not able to use ADB.. so I use my friend mobile to get CID... I dont knw if this tool will work witout ADB.. but try this too
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
Set veriables also
Right click My computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables
under system variables click "path" and click "edit"
at the end of the line add a sem semi colon ";" and without a space put C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools - It should look like ;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools then click ok.
Just let us know.. the results

no it's not working.already tried.check attached image.
now working on through linux.just downloaded vmware image of linux.lets hope for the good.i will post linux experience.

Ya i hope you will be able to get it from linux...
as when you will connect your memorycard in linux.. you can directly acces the sector zero where CID store.. so Inshallah.. it will work

Dont want to dissapoint you but read this
You can if you have Linux. You need a Laptop card reader slot and Linux. Once in Linux, navigate to a folder like /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid
I havent tested it out in a LiveCD. Check it out and tell me.
Programmers have tried writing applications to interface the sdcard in USB mode to get its CID number, but it needs a PCI slot or device-a phone-Either Android/Windows Mobile. A PC application may be specifically written for a PCI based card reader to read the CID, but such an application would be hardware specific for the particular brand of PCI card reader. You cant use it unless you are a programmer and know to do that. As far as I know there are currently no Windows programs that do that.
To clarify, Once again,
The only thing you need from your memory card to create a goldcard, is its unique CID number (which is inserted by the manufacturer of the card)
The CID is unique to a memory card. It is not specific to the device
You can get the CID of the sdcard from:
Any Android phone which can connect and use the adb command.
A Linux operating system running on a Notebook with PCI slot which can read a memory card. Note: YOU CANNOT GET CID FROM LINUX FROM A USB CARD READER of a PC/Laptop. You need the PCI card slot.
You can even get the CID from a Garmin proprietory OS or a Windows mobile based phone. There are utilities available online using these, which can be seen in a Google search.
Do not try to get CID from any PC via USB cable. It can display a CID code but not the correct one. It is said that "USB lies about the CID".

goldcard created can u please tell me that what should i do now with this goldcard?

issue has been resolved by creating gold card and stock ruu.thanks for the support (jhonybravo4u)

I`m stuck on the alpharev sense hboot version and the error i get while flashing the RUU is when flashing the system partition which in this case is smaller then the stock one, i suspect this is why after typing fastboot oem in cmd my phone only boots the htc logo (green letters and white background)
Please help
I solved my problem just by flashing the downgrade hboot from the alpharev site. I typed fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img in cmd after previously extracting the bravo_downgrade.img into my androidsdk\tool folder. I amnowcertain that my problem was due to having flashed the alpharev sense hboot which didn`t have enough space on the system partition. It turns out that my problem wasn`t really that bad.

Just tell me is this right way (it's look to simple to me ) , i found this on bortak troubleshooting (thanks to him)...
I want to downgrade to RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed , now have newest gingerbread
I need to start from phase 2? i'm little confused about goldcard, i don't need it because my phone isn't branded? right?...
" [PHASE2]- we need to extract rom.zip from the RUU. If your phone is branded Orange, you will need a goldcard because Orange didn't release any RUU's.. The bastards
[P2/STEP1]- Run the RUU (BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE OR CONTINUE), move it to the side as it cannot be minimised.
[P2/STEP2]- go to start menu, and use the "run" feature. Type in %temp%
[P2/STEP3]- select "date modified" to "today" (to make it easier to find). There are should now be 2 folders with long names of random characters.
[P2/STEP4]- search the folders for rom.zip and extract it to the desktop.
[P2/STEP5]- Rename the rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip (if on windows 7 and you have hidden file extensions, only make the name PB99IMG, otherwise it will be PB99IMG.zip.zip - because windows is retarded sometimes)
[PHASE3]- now we need to actually use the RUU
[P3/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER). After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
[P3/STEP2]- Once the process is finished, you will now be S-ON and unrooted with the stock system. "

So i need first s-off, or something else?
I didn't found anything specific about that..

Yeah youd need s-off then fastboot flash the Alpharev downgrade.img hboot. Then you can ruu. This wipes all data though, so you may aswell become a fully rooted member of society

[HTC Desire] Stuck at htc logo with 4 triangles at the corners

Hello everybody, I've been searching for a solution to this for a while now. Searching all over this forum and other forums. Google advanced searchs didn't help me neither. Please I would be very grateful if you could give me a start line.

excuse me again , but i im stuck..
i presumed my problem was at the section [4]RUU PROBLEMS
(since there was the htc logo problem with four /!\ )
ok, i followed thes steps:
went to alpharev.nl and downloaded the stock .img
downloaded and installed the android flasher.. i turned on the desire with the htc logo and the four triangles , choose the bootloader and i hit the Flash! button. but nothing.. nothing happens on the phone.. and android flasher just keeps hanging with the progressbar not moving. what am i doing wrong??

Are you sure you used search??
Go back to alpharev and download the file PB99IMG_stock. Rename this as PB99IMG.zip and place onto your SD card. Reboot phone with VolDn + Pwr and wait until you see "Do you want to install update?" (or something like that) and select "yes".
You will find this guide posted many times on this forum and it's not hard to locate...

I guess what the op need is to flash the hboot_downgrader first then only run the ruu. It should works.
Flashing the stock_hboot from alpharev will make no different because that is not the original stock hboot but the locked bravo_alphaspl.img with 147mb/data and the original stock hboot from htc is 148mb/data.
As mentioned in Alpharev website:
"Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first."
So flash downgrader hboot then run RUU.

I've tried with the android flasher this method but with no luck. should i
go with the .iso file burn it and run it to change the hboot.
(one more thing. i don't find 147/148 mb data on the bravo_xxx.img they're only a few kb :/ )

Never use android flasher so not sure about it. Try fastboot commander but do not use bravo_alphaspl.img, use bravo_downgrade img. After flashing it, run ruu.

hboot.img that you flash will change the nand partition layout. So flashing an alpharev stock hboot will change the nand partition to 147mb for data, 250mb for system and 40mb for cache. 147/148mb is not the size of hboot.
Your problem here is the RUU cannot write a new partition to nand because of the locked alpharev hboot, that is why you need to flash the bravo_downgrade.img to unlock the hboot then when you run ruu, it can write new partition layout to nand.

Very informative answer .. but for some odd reason i cannot get to downgrade the hboot.
1.Downloaded and installed the Fastboot commander 1.51
2.Downloaded the bravo_downgrade.img from alpharev.nl
3.switched on the desire (whith the htc logo and four triangles) and connected to pc
4. opened the fastboot commander and on the "hboot radio & rec" tab.. on the hboot/spl i chose the bravo_downgrade.img and then "flash spl"
5.it says waiting for flashing and than it fails without showing any reason
what am i doing wrong?

In your pc device manager (assuming you're on windows), is the Android USB Devices show My HTC ?
Here is the driver if needed http://rapidshare.com/files/431644974/Usb-Drivers-Android.rar (link taken from fastboot commander thread).

[Q] Bricked Desire? Plz FAST HELP, Im beginner :-/

Thx for reply,so I find this:
[4]RUU PROBLEMS
"I tried using a RUU, but it failed, and now my phone is stuck on a black HTC Screen with /!\ In every corner!"
Possible Causes:
- You were S-OFF and you flashed a custom bootloader from alpharev
- You didn't check the MD5 Sums before proceeding, and the download may have been corrupted.
- You tried using the wrong RUU
Fixing your problem
Your phone is stuck in RUU mode. RUU mode is like fastboot mode, and can still receive fastboot commands, therefore it can be easily "fixed". It helps to have a goldcard for this problem, so that you can use any RUU you want.
S-OFF
[STEP1]- download "Bravo Stock" from Alpharev
[STEP2]- download Android Flasher
[STEP3]- use android flasher to flash "Bravo Stock"
[STEP4]- run the RUU again and wait for it to finish
S-ON
If you're S-ON it eliminates the possibility of you having a custom bootloader, and the only possibility now is that the RUU was corrupted or you used the wrong RUU for your device. Therefore, for this process you need a goldcard.
[STEP1]- Create the goldcard from the tutorial
[STEP1]- Use the WWE RUU
NOTE: If you are restoring for warranty purposes, unless you bought an unbranded phone, using the WWE RUU will VOID YOUR WARRANTY, and you should use the 2.3.3 RUU (link available from #resources)
Im really beginner ,I dont know how can I do it..Im S-OFF..They say I need to download bravo stock from http://alpharev.nl/ But there are 2 bravo stock:
bravo_alphaspl.img and PB99IMG_stock which should I download and how can I flash it? I cant turn on my desire and I cant turn it with power+vol.down.. what can i do now?

pull the battery out and put back in, hold volume down then hold power, tell me what happens

"I tried using a RUU, but it failed, and now my phone is stuck on a black HTC Screen with triangle In every corner!"

yes i know but in first post u said power and vol down. just thought u did it wrong. did u try hold back button and hold power? that takes u to fastboot and u can get to hboot from there. u need to get to the hboot menu for the PB99IMG to work

[Q] Why do I have Revolutionary HBOOT?

Hey guys!
I used an RUU to flash my Desire back to the old software (build) version 2.10.405.2. This gave me Android 2.2 (Froyo). I think this is the one that came with my phone (if my memory serves me well). Those who bought it before me had to upgrade from Eclair to get Froyo. I think I had Froyo already.
But why does it say "Revolutionary" and "S-OFF" in my HBOOT menu? Doesn't the RUU flash everything?
Also, when I go into Recovery I get the usual warning triangle icon. So there are no menus, there used to be CWM (clock work mod) with menus.
So the recovery image has been flashed and the ROM image has been flashed? But just not the HBOOT image?
Can I download the HBOOT image only somewhere? And then flash it using Fastboot Commander?

U have to flash alpharev downgrader first then run the ruu, that way it will be completely stock s-on

So I guess I was on the right path then. I mean I just flashed it with what seemed to be the stock HBOOT image. I visited the AlphaRev website and downloaded a file called PB99IMG_stock.zip. This ZIP file includes a file called hboot.img. I used the command prompt to write this file to the phone in fastboot mode.
But all that did is it changed the title in the HBOOT menu from "Revolutionary" to "AlphaRev".

I will try the downgrade image now.
What will the command be?
Code:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img
Is that right?...
And then I will run the RUU? Right? And this will flash the proper stock HBOOT image?

From what i understand you have Stock hboot now (you said you've flashed it)
So yes, now just flash downgrader and run RUU.

How to get back to stock HBOOT image
It worked! Thanks jmcclue! The commands are all the same as for flashing any HBOOT image.
Just for reference, this is how to do it.
Go to AlphaRev website and download the file "bravo_downgrade.img".
Set the phone to fastboot mode.
Connect it to the computer with a USB cable.
Open a command prompt (preferably with elevated privileges).
Navigate to the folder where you saved the "bravo_downgrade.img" file.
Send this command to flash it.
Code:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img
Send this command to reboot.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Send this command to erase cache.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Disconnect the phone from computer.
Select "REBOOT" from the Fastboot menu. Either that, or take out the battery and put it back in.
Boot/start up the phone normally. If you previously took out the battery, put it back in and press the power button.
Connect it to the computer. If it asks you what kind of connection, choose Charge only.
Run the RUU (ROM Utility Update) that includes the HBOOT image. If it includes the HBOOT image the file size should be around 160 MB.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the operation.
When done, the phone should reboot and you should have the stock HBOOT image and the stock software version.
Note! Don't remove the cable when you are sending commands to the phone. Only remove it when all commands and operations are performed.
Requirements:
RUU file for your phone.
Android SDK installed.
Java SDK installed.
HTC Sync
(ADB driver for your phone)
I am assuming you already have the SDKs all installed and set up. If not, you will have to do that first.
You will probably also need the HTC Sync installed on the computer. I think this is required for RUU to work properly. I was only receiving ERROR 170 when running the RUU ("phone not connected" or "not found" or whatever), until I installed HTC Sync. You will find it on HTC website or you can find the old version on your original 2 GB microSD card you got with the phone. I personally prefer the old version because the new HTC Sync feels like bloatware and is resource-hungry for no apparent reason (just some flashy graphics).
You may or you may not need the ADB (Android Debug? Bridge) driver for your phone. I have mine, downloaded from XDA Developers forum years ago. It's said that installing HTC Sync will include the proper drivers for ADB and solve the issue with missing driver for "Android 1.0". I didn't find this to be true. I tried different, supposedly HTC drivers only packages, from different web sources, and none of them worked. Except for the one I found on XDA Developers forum. I'm not 100% sure but I think this driver is only needed when the phone is in recovery mode. But it doesn't hurt to install it just as a precaution or at least have it prepared and ready to install.
To get RUU files:
You can either go to the HTC Developer website and try to locate the files there, or you can visit a website like Shipped-ROMs and try locating a "Bravo" or "Desire". Bravo is the codename for Desire. Then you probably want to download the ones that have "WWE" (World Wide English) in the names. These are based on English but have translations to other languages as well. And you want the ones where it says "HTC" in the name, if your phone is not carrier specific and not re-branded. Mine is not.
This is the name of the RUU file I used:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
This gave me Android 2.2 which is what I had on my phone when it was new.
Check:
To verify that you have the proper HBOOT version and that you have S-ON you can show the HBOOT menu (volume down + power button). Here is what it should look like.

Patched HBOOT images (Revolutionary & Alpha Rev) are protected against downgrades
Hi k3lcior!
If I was on stock HBOOT, then why did it say "Revolutionary" on top of the screen when I hold Volume down and Power button to enter HBOOT menu?
Yes, I did say I flashed it. Or that's what I thought I did. What I meant is I ran the RUU (ROM Utility Update) for build 2.10.405.2. I mentioned the name of the file in the post above. This is a 166 MB file. It's not an OTA update or anything of that nature, like updates of 30 MB or less. So running the RUU (166 MB) should flash everything on the phone, not just parts of it.
RUU file is big because it includes the ROM, the recovery image, and it should also include the HBOOT image. But for some reason when I ran this it only flashed and replaced my ROM image, and the recovery image. It failed to flash and replace my HBOOT image.
I now know why.
Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first.

This is a quote from the AlphaRev website. It's more clear to me now why it didn't work in the first place.
I actually had the "Revolutionary" HBOOT because that's what I used. I used Revolutionary to get S-OFF and root access on Android 2.3.3 on HTC Desire. It of course also installs a custom recovery image (CWM or Clock Work Mod) with "Revolutionary" background and "Revolutionary" printed on HBOOT menu.
So my conclusion is that both "Revolutionary" and "AlphaRev" HBOOT images have this "downgrade protection" feature. That's why running RUU to restore everything to stock version fails to restore the HBOOT image to it's stock version. The HBOOT image on the phone was being protected. That's where the "downgrade image" comes in. You use that to remove the protection first. And then you run the RUU and it will flash everything, including the HBOOT image.
After all, the Revolutionary is a later development based on AlphaRev, and other tools and exploits. So it's not hard to imagine that they share same features. The last time I used AlphaRev and Unrevoked to get root and S-OFF was when I had Android 2.29 (I think it was build 2.29.405.2). I had no problems running the RUU to restore everything back to stock version, including the HBOOT image. But I did not downgrade it that time. I mean I just used the RUU for the same version, as the one that was already on the phone. And of course I didn't use Revolutionary at that time.
So I'm not sure... it's either because of the fact that I used Revolutionary this time (instead of Unrevoked + AlphaRev), or it's because I went from Android 2.3.3 to Android 2.2 (a downgrade), or it's because I was going from HBOOT version 6.93.1002 (came with Revolutionary) to HBOOT version 0.93.0001 which comes with the RUU for (a downgrade).
It may also be that the AlphaRev HBOOT image didn't have the "downgrade protection" until version 1.80. So it's possible that I used some old version of the AlphaRev that didn't have this feature when I rooted and S-OFFed the old Android 2.29.
One of these cases apply, but I'm not sure which one. In either case, I got rid of the custom HBOOT image. It's all back to stock now.

FWIW;
When you visit the AlphaRev website you will see that there is a table with two columns that hold file names and download links. One just says "Download". Th other says "PB99IMG". If you are doing this from a computer, with the phone connected to the computer with a USB cable, then you probably want the files from the column that says "Download".
If you for some reason don't have access to a computer, or you don't know what command prompt is, you don't know how to install the Android SDK so that you can send the fastboot commands... well, whatever the reason may be, then you probably want the files from the column that says "PB99IMG". These are ZIP files that include the same files you will find under "Download", with the addition of some extra files/tools. The idea is to place it on an SD card and let the phone do the rest. It's sort of this "unplugged" and automated way of doing things.
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'.

I'm not sure how it helps renaming a ZIP file. If the file name is "PB99IMG.zip" (with the zip extension already) how does it help renaming it to... something like "PB99IMG.zip.zip"? Is that what they are saying? That you should add one more zip extension to the end of the file name... or that you should add one if there is no extension. I'm not sure what they mean, but I would go with "PB99IMG.zip".
I have not tried this method myself, but this may be easier to use for some user. Instead of having to install the SDK et al. You may be able to even download the ZIP file right on the phone, without even touching a computer. You just need to have it on the SD card of the phone. And enter the HBOOT menu. I guess there is some Bat file or something inside the ZIP file that automates everything else.

@ OP
glad u got sorted. its good to see that u actually took the time to read and understand what u did, unlike other user who just post problems coz they cant be bothered to read anything and try to understand how things work so :good: to u.
Now about the PB99IMG. Your bootloader will only read PB99IMG it so thats why u have to rename it from PB99IMG_downgrade to PB99IMG. The downgrade part is only there so u know what file it is
