i have an orange branded uk htc desire with s-off, hboot 0.93 radio 5.17.85.08 i have tried several roms took me about 20 just to get 1 that worked so i could finally access the phone, now i have done that i have tried wwe update 1.21.40 where i get error 131 to do the with cid I beleive you have to use a branded rom? but i cannot find any orange ones?
can someone help me out to turn it back to stock with standard rom?
thanks
there is none for orange. u must create a goldcard to bypass the cid check. go to Desire Q&A/stickies (first post) and read bortak's troubleshooting guide. link for the goldcard tool is there with instructions.

ok i have followed just about every guide under the sun now, been doing it for 6 hrs
i have tried many methods trying to remove the soff with gold card nothing happens, but same file on a normal sd card it says CID Incorrect so how come it finds the file and tries but realises the CID is wrong on the normal card, but when i put the same file onto the gold card and then try to reboot it does nothing at all, doesnt even mention and its the same PB99IMG.ZIP file on the card?
i am lost, tried the method using android flasher but that will not run on my pc even now i have installed .net 4.0 just nothing happens when i run it, head scratching! its not even my phone
tried a few wwe ruu but they will not update which is all i wanna do, i believe its down the alpharev custom bootloader
Alpharev downgrade and 2.3 RUU, easy as cake.
Or alpharev dowgrade, goldcard and WWE RUU unpacked and used as PB99IMG.zip.

Download RUU and create a Goldcard.
this ruu will not work because it is an older version. I require hboot 0.93 or higher. also cant create a goldcard as revskills has stopped making gold cards from cid..
Any other solution?

I have a HTC Desire Z from the Asia Middle East region with the following specs:
Android version:2.2
Kernal version:2.6.32.21-
Build Version and software version:1.83.415.2
Is there a way to get to CM7 i.e to downgrade/root this phone.
Thanks
Downgrade to 1.34, then root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
Pretty sure there are others here on the same ROM as you, that have done it this way successfully.
There's a couple ways to do it, the best way would be to follow the root method in the wiki using rage then get S-OFF with gfree.
Once you have rooted it, install Rom Manager and flash clockwork then download this zip and flash it to get a working Superuser.
Edit: You may have to downgrade to get S-OFF, I bought a NAM Desire Z and had to downgrade then flashed the ARA RUU.
Not able to downgrade
Thanks for guiding me
I followed the wiki guide correctly upto all the steps until....The downgrading part
And I am Stuck in the Downgrading process i.e Phone thinks the PC10IMG.Zip file is not a valid file in the boot loader menu and restarts to normal ,
Could this be due to this version(1.83)???
What do I do now!??
Do these details help:

Did you make the gold card first?
Guide Here.
Anyways, it seems your Desire Z has a unique CID probably put on it by a manufacturer. All you have to do is make a gold card then you can downgrade with the gold card inside the phone.
Im trying to unroot my desire so send back to vodaphone.
Ive finally found a rom that dosnt say "Customer error"
The only rom that dosnt say the above is UK vodaphone 1.19.161.5 but this says BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
Im on hboot 0.83
Im really stuck on this tried loads of RUU's but still nothing
Please help, cheers
Create goldcard:
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
Put this in your desire and run this exe after downloading on your computer:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed.exe
Next time use the search, this problem was discussed and solved many times.
Thanks that RUU was all i needed
Here's the latest Vodafone UK RUU, 2.33.161.2
http://www.multiupload.com/K0FR1OK301
No gold card required if you have a Vodafone handset
I'm trying to return my Desire to stock, to sell it with the original settings. I ran the UK vodafone RRU, but halfway through it exited, I guess because it tripped over the Alpharev bootloader. It chucked me out and now I just have fastboot. I can't reboot into a rom, only fastboot. Worse still, I've gone back to S-ON.
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0-80-0000

What can I do from here? Is there a zip I can copy to my phone for the bootloader to pick up?
Boot on fastboot and reflash the ruu. Don't forget to check md5! Also you may need a goldcard
Sent from deep
under the sea...
Also try to acquire the latest Vodafone RUU - maybe that helps.
If not - try to use a WWE RUU with a goldcard, if possible.
I tried running the vodafone rru and it fails at the same point every time.
I am gutted. An experienced flasher and I think I've ended up with a fastboot brick.
I don't have a goldcard. I can't make one as I don't have access to adb via fastboot.
Please tell us at point it fails.. what error code or message it shows.
You might try this too... try to bring your boot partition to Bravo by flashing below PB99IMG.zip file
http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_downgrade.zip
Rename above file as PB99IMG.zip and Put this file into root of ur memory card.. and volume down and power on.. it will falsh.. than try ur RUU
try this it worked for my Vodafone Desire.
bortak you absolute star, I did much the same and have been hunting for an RUU that works. Sorted now.

I pressed the thanks button on your post. I was eventually able to flash the rru (the wwe one) and recover my phone after about 4 attempts to make a working goldcard. Wow, that was a close one.
Hi,
This is how you downgrade a Desire/Bravo with the HBOOT 1.02.0001 already installed, - this method is appropriate for people who need to downgrade the HBOOT for unlock purposes. I struggled for ages on this and once I found the method thought i'd post it around the internet as I couldn't find this info anywhere.
-Summary of steps-
1)Turn S-Off + Update HBOOT
2)Downgrade HBOOT to 0.93.0001 (Turns S-ON)
I have personally tested this and it worked perfectly without any problems. However flashing anything to your phone is done at your own risk, & I accept no responsability for your device.
--Step 1--
Download and run the Revolutionary tool here http://revolutionary.io/ to turn S-Off - Follow the steps on their website for how to do this if you get stuck.
Once you have run the Revolutionary tool, when it asks if you want to install the Clockworkmod recovery press no.
You will now have an S-Off phone running HBOOT 6.93.1002
--Step 2--
Format a microSD card, download the following zip file and save it to your memory card.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dyyn35zm07x2x7a/PB99IMG.zip LINK UPDATED 2 JAN 2013
You should now have a single file on your memory card named PB99IMG.zip
--Step 3--
Put the microSD card back in your phone and hold 'VOL+DOWN + ACTION' and press the power button to get to the HBOOT menu. Wait around 10 seconds (give or take) and the phone will detect the update and ask you to install it, Select yes to install then reboot your phone back into the HBOOT menu.
You will now have an S-On phone with the 0.93.0001 HBOOT
--Step4-- IF THIS STEP APPLIES TO YOU FOR UNLOCKING
Unlock with XTC-Clip as you normally would - Creating goldcard with 0.93.X001 HBOOT.
Your phone will now be unlocked.[/QUOTE]
NOTE: You can do the official updates through the phone as normal without loosing your unlock
Hope you find this info useful
what ruu (PB99IMG) is it?
what if someone has an orange branded phone, coz there is no ruu for it and they would need a goldcard.
what about people from different regions coz theres different ruu's for different regions aswell and they would need a gold card.
edit: its a hboot.img, thought it was an ruu.
did u try this yet? does it work?
normaly when u change hboots u have to format partitions. if u go to the trouble of getting s-off then why not just run the correct ruu for ur device, just to be safe.

Hi,
It souldn't matter what network the phone is on - The HBoot was taken from a WWE RUU & I tested it with a UK Vodaphone branded desire which worked. I used this method to unlock a 1.02.0001 phone which isnt supported by xtc hence the downgrade needed. You shouldn't need a goldcard for the downgrade part as running the revolutionary tool will switch s-off, after applying the downgraded hboot it will turn s-on but as you will be on the old 0.93.0001 hboot you can just create the goldcard with xtc and complete the unlock if this step applies to you - it probably does as I dont know another reason for downgrading to this HBOOT.
Running the downgrade will wipe the phone - it did atleast with mine.
The reason I couldnt run an RUU to downgrade the hboot after turning s-off is because revolutionarys tool adds some protection to prevent hboot flashing via RUU & fastboot. The only way I could find to do it was to flash it directly from the SD card.
As for the other regions you may be right and need a local hboot - I'm not able to test this as I only ever get UK phones to unlock. If it is the case the HBOOT which you want to downgrade to can always be extracted from a local RUU and added to your own update.zip (named correctly of course) - The network branded phones on the other hand should make no difference - as s is off, so a UK orange, vodafone etc will take the hboot from WWE RUU aslong as s is off. (This is why its neccessary to run revolutionary first)
Hope this info helps.
cool. just so u know to unlock the hboot 6.93.1002 u have to flash the Alpharev downgrader img, that way it can be overwritten by an ruu

Hi,
Thanks for mensioning that, I did actually run the Alpharev downgrader as part of the process but completely forgot to add that step ( I wrote the tutorial after doing it not during ) With me though after running the alpharev downgrade the hboot still wouldnt downgrade from the ruu - also tried manually flashing with fastboot but got various errors (something to do with usb something or other - maby it was just my usb's playing up again as they occasionaly do) so for me I still had to do the sd card way but if you find it works for you with the ruu then even better.
For anyone getting stuck, do this step after running revolutionary - Just download the Bravo Downgrader from here http://alpharev.nl/ and run it before continuing with the rest of the steps.
i always use PB99IMG awsell, my laptop dont like my phone haha

desire with broken volume keys
hi friends, I found a HTC Desire bravo at the flee market and bought it thinking it is actually a nexus-one... a nice phone with lots of nice futures in it after a charging session the phone boot up and it was alive back again. with one problem the volume keys was not working.. ı dismantled it and cleaned up as it is described in xda forums and didn't worked so i made a little check and found the thin foil attaching the volume keys to the main board was broken since there is no way to fix it without changing the main board and i had no intention to pay lots of money on it i left it like that with one problem; no way to boot in to recovery from start... after couple of days i found i didn't liked the rom on it i decided to change it, there was no problem since i could boot it to recovery using the restart menu which the ROM had since it was rooted but i made a mistake and fell in to a boot lope the only way to boot it back was the adb commands but phone couldn't start up so no debugging mode only fast boot so i tried many fast boot commands to boot in to recovery with no success after searching forums i found lots of desire bravos around with the same problem.. so i used ruu to reboot it properly the only ruu worked for me was the official 2.3.3 update ruu ''RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe'' the phone booted and working now but no s off and no root and there was no way to root it without the volume up and down keys i was stuck with the useless unrooted rom so here how i rooted the phone without the volume keys first you have to download ''DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip'' and run it in USB debugging mode after that you have a working recovery partition to install a recovery bin using fastboot or what ever( the problem was after the update i lost the phones recovery partition and couldn't get the state s-off even i am s-off there was no recovery partition... since i am not good at commands to re format the boot loader this could be a life saver so i decided to share my experience... afterwards you can boot into recovery since you have a recovery partition you can push any recovery to your phone i think zergrush tool is not intended to use with bravo that why no body mentioned it in the bravo forums ops i forgot the say i used alphadevs methods and software to gain s-off on my phone before using zergrush i hope this will hwlp people like me stucked with non fonctioning volume keys
