I would try redownloading the ROM (from PC), place on SD card, go into recovery, full wipe from recovery, flash zip file from recovery.

Did you try and apply an update to a rooted phone????

Well, if you're on bootloader screen it usually doesnt recognize your phone.
Last time I flashed a RUU i used fastboot mode. Start your phone with the "back key" held. Then start the RUU.
If you get something like a Model ID Error then, you will have to create a Goldcard to apply the RUU.
CAUTION: Before you flash any RUU, check if it's compatible with your SLCD or AMOLED Device. SLCD Devices are incompatible with certain RUUs, flashing a wrong one results in a semi-brick (display not working, but ROM functioning).

You must be aware of having the correct RUU.then try to enter fastboot, when it is loaded, plug in your cable, you must see that it turns to 'hboot usb plug'. If it does so, you can flash the original RUU, if it is the right one

What kind of RUU did you flash?! That things pre-historic. Go on my guide, find the 2.3 RUU from
Resources and flash that.

I try that RUU because I want to downgrade my hboot version in order to root the phone with revolutionary.
I'm new in this stuff.
I'm downloading RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release but I think that this RUU will not work.
I will keep you posted
Thanks

I tried to install RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed and doen't work. It says that there is no phone connected.
I need your help. I don't want an expensive dead HTC

I have also tried this RUU RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread) but doesn't work either. "ERROR[170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR"

Look on my guide. Extract the rom.zip, rename to PB99IMG.zip, put on root of sd-card, boot into hboot, select update.
And before you ask me how to do it look on my guide.

It works
Thanks a lot
Now i have a ALphaRev bootloader
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
Do you know any tutorial on how to root and install a ROM?
I've tried several but nothing works

With S-OFF you don't need root to start flashing.
Look on my guide on how to flash recovery, then backup your current ROM, full wipe, and flash a new one.
Alternatively (much easier), just install this app and it flashes recovery for you, then backup, wipe and flash a ROM.

Same problem

Bravo with SHIP S-OFF unable to flash with fastboot

Hi all, after reading through several tutorials including Bortak's and asking questions in chat rooms, I finally felt like I need to reach out for help on the forum. I have a HTC Desire that was hanging on white HTC screen and had no recovery. I have flashed with AlphaRev HBOOT and it now shows the following in Bootloader:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
I have tried flashing CWM recovery but when I try to load recovery from the Bootloader it just vibrates 7 times and then vibrates. I just want to get the phone working again, but I am not sure what I need to do or what ROM/RUU I need to use. Also, when I try to flash from fastboot it gives me: "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
Is this something to do with SHIP S-OFF and not ENG S-OFF. I think getting recovery working is the first step but I am lost.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

what did u, or were u trying to do before this happened?

I bought the device like this with SHIP S-OFF. It was fine, and then it started hanging at the white HTC screen, and would only boot up correctly once every handful of times. I assumed the ROM was unstable and wanted to flash a stable version of CM 7. However when I realised that there was no recovery I resorted to Fastboot. I then flashed an RUU zip (gingerbread) via fastboot and now it wont start at all, instead it keeps restarting. I have flashed CWM via fastboot to try and get recovery working but when I select recovery from bootloader it just vibrates 7 times.
My objective now - just to get the phone working again

when u hold volume down + power, what hboot is in the bootloader? (pink at top) also u could tried android flasher or the PB899IMG method to install recovery.

The pink at the top is "--- Alpharev ---". I did try to use Android flasher to flash recovery in fastboot mode but it says I need ENG bootloader or something.

oh rite. im not really sure im afraid, but i think u will have to use the bravo_downgrade.img from Alpharev or the PB99IMG_downgrade if u cant use fastboot commands then run a ruu. i think when u tried the ruu and it failed it was because ur hboot is 6.93.1002 which cant be overwritten by an ruu. The ruu to use would be the exact 1 for ur phone - devise, brand, region ect or use the 2.3 upgrade which is for all and can be found at HTCDev/ kernel source code/ see downloads/ filter by device (desire) below check other then find files, then ul see 2.3 ruu upgrade..
just wait and maybe some1 can confirm this first before trying it or if they have an answer

check out bortak's guide. for what i know (since surfing xda), it is wrong to flash a ruu while you have a 'custom' hboot (the hboot is very important. you can see what hboot you have on the pink line. in fastboot screen. is it Alpharev Data++, Alpharev cm7r2?) but, as long as the screen of the phone is 'alive', there's always a solution.
for more info, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17829936
good luck.

It's not a problem to run RUU if you have custom hboot as long as it have stock partition table. Just try to flash downgrade from alpharev site and then run RUU from your PC.

OK so I downgraded the HBOOT using the downgrader from AlphaRev, then I ran the RUU for Android 2.3, but it still wont boot up. White screen appears for about 10 seconds then keeps restarting. Also the same happens when I try to open recovery from Bootloader. After running the RUU my bootloader shows the following:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.02.0001
MICROP-031d
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Any suggestions what to do next?

strange, when i used the downgrader (PB99IMG) it made me s-on then i ran the 2.3 ruu upgrade then used revolutionay to s-off. (dont ask why) lol
edit: when i used the 2.3 ruu i extracted the rom.zip and renamed it PB99IMG and ran it that way

the PB99IMG method didnt work for me - it didnt prompt me to update at all. It just keeps restarting at the HTC screen. Fastboot is still not letting me flash anything its saying FAILED: (remote: not allowed). Recovery is not working - is there anything else I can try?

Yes, for some reason doesnt pick it up. I'm really unsure what to do. I cant flash using Fastboot, and after flashing the RUU I have lost the AlphaRev HBOOT and I cant get recovery. Can it really be bricked?

I am not familiar with this method of running a RUU by flashing it as a zip from fastboot. The standard method is to execute the RUU.exe from PC while the device is in Fastboot mode. Could this be the root problem ?

Try 2.3 ruu from htcdev.com
Gingerbread..... try multiple times. Ensure data cable is ok and proper drivers installed through htc sync.

1) Download the "downgrade" PB99IMG file from http://alpharev.nl/.
2) Place it in your root of the sdcard.
3) Boot into bootloader (vol down + power)
4) If ask to install update, select yes, reboot.
5) Run ruu again...
it should work...

thanks, i will try it...
sorry, i thought that because of the problem with the hboot and so on, it should be the right place...

That is possile if the RUU is older than the one currently on your phone. If this is not the case, try to flash the RUU via the program and from hboot.

Obviously , since I have Cyanogenmod 10 installed the RUU version is older. CM10 is somehow preventing the RUU to execute correctly,
I have tried to run the RUU with Hboot but it didn't recognized the phone.

your backup is older than the bootloader version now you have .

Sorry I will be clearer. The ruu has two thing before start. It evaluates your cid and hboot version. If you had (my example here) a 2.22 stock and you want to flash the ruu of the 2.02 version it will not work because the hboot in your phone is newer. This is a security measurement for you not to be able to downgrade your os.
Even more, ruu needs stock recovery, stock kernel, and the phone to be either "locked" or "relocked". And more, if you has custom is on the phone that time, the ruu will only work from fastboot usb mode.
It is a joke tough that in these phones unlock and custom os is easily achivable, while going back to stock is like a pain in the ass.
