Error when flashing RUU? - Desire General

Hi,
I've brought a desire cheap as a temporary phone while my sensations off being repaired (Smashed screen!) It came with a CM7 ROM installed which i'm not keen on, so i'm attempting to flash the RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865 from the RUU thread on here. However, it gets about 3 minutes in, then on my laptop says "ERROR [110]: FILE OPEN ERROR. The Rom Update Utility cannot open the requested files or the files are damaged.
The phone stays a black screen with a white warning symbol in each corner, rebooting into recovery has the following information:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d

I've tried downloading the RUU 3 times, and get the same trouble each time. Can anyone help? (I can't post this in development as i'm a n00b still...)

You have cm7r2 hboot which gives you only 145MB for system partition and RUU requires stock partition table (250MB for system).
Flash alpharev stock hboot via fastboot, it can be obtained here:
alpharev.nl
After that run RUU, it should work perfectly.
Plus:
Reconsider using some other RUU the one you used is history old. Try with 2.3 RUU.

Thanks for that, i'm used to my sensation for flashing ROMs etc, i've just read up on this phone as I didn't realise there is different hboots to make different file tables!

OK, i've tried to use both alpharev and revolutionary, when I downloaded the img file for alpharev I can't get it to load, when I mount it, it just loads a folder with no executables, and revolutionary just sits on waiting for device?

What r u trying to mount it on, a virtual drive on ur pc??

Hi,
Yeah, i've tried installing them but nothing seemed to happen, i've gone in to device manager and changed drivers so instead of "My HTC" it now shows as "Android Bootloader Interface" but it still sits on "Waiting for device." Are there any ROMS that use the CM7 r2 available as a RUU package?

lol i just read the first post, sorry my bad. u r s-off and have CM7r2 hboot. if u dont like CM rom why not just flash another instead of going completely stock and s-on?

The boot loader was the official 2.3 and that was then S-OFFed with Revolutionary, that then had the Oxygen R2 HBOOT Partion table on it.
Now I ran the 2.3 update on the wrong phone.
The HBOOT Currently says Alpharev Oxygen r2

Then is just says RRU instead of the usual options
When I first turn it on, it shows a black screen with white HTC and 4 ! in triangles in the corner.
I've been told this is bad...
If I try to run the updater, it eventuaklly goes to recover mode and says its fixed but its not.
I get this on the desire screen

U have the oxygen hboot, its too small for the stock gingerbread rom
Flash the downgrader hboot from alpharev.nl (otherwise the ruu CANT overwrite the alpharev oxygen hboot), then run the ruu
How do I go about flashing it? Everything seem pretty broke..
Any surely the RRU should be repartitioning the HBOOT to the correct size?

Nothing is broken..U have to read again alpharev.nl
Download from alpharev the file PB99IMG_downgrade.zip and following instruction:
http://alpharev.nl/
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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It will ask u to apply the update, then accept it (volume keys to navigate, power button to confirm)
After that ur hboot can be overwritten by the ruu..and the ruu will work fine
The thing is I have already added the file to my SD Card. Now when I boot my phone, the VERY first thing it does is a black screen with HTC in white. and in the corners are 4 ! in triangles, The only way to see the HBOOT Screen from there is to connect a USB cable and unplug, on that screen I have no options to do anything!
I dont even have anything I can record a video on to show you, Arrrgh this is annoying. HTC would like money out of me for a "non-warranty issue"

Did u boot the phone in hboot? remove battery, plug again, press and hold volume down then press and hold also the power button..it should boot soon in the hboot and ask u for an update
Yes im positive, I have done it many many times before.
And what im getting here is not what you would normally get
HTCs customer support is terrible! Seriously do not want to be charged to get it fixed never mind a bloody shipping and handling fee!!
oh..i see..how about flash the hboot img (instead of the zip) with fastboot command?

Download this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=630611&d=1308537074
It contain a mininal set of files in order to use fastboot, without installing the android sdk
Then download this http://alpharev.nl/bravo_downgrade.img and put in the same extracted directory above..
Boot ur phone in hboot mode and plug the usb (u said with the usb plugged u see the hboot usb)..then from a command prompt from ur pc, go in the directory above and type: fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img
If that is successfull..u can run an ruu, and it should restore everything, even the hboot now!
Am I missing a trick I run it and it shows on screen for a split second.
And if it doesn't fix it?!
Nevermind think I remebered how to do it...

htc desire completely bricked !

Hi,
my htc desire is bricked... impossible to boot etc..
when i put battery and i push on power button, in 4 corners exclamation in triangles appear. (image in attachment)
my phone is S-OFF, android 2.1
i tried upgrade with sd card.. and with android sdk tools..but is not working.
Please HELP !!!
thnx.
screen image
please give full details of your phone. What hboot? custom? what RUU?
What did you do before it broke? in what order? then what happened?
i can't see any detail.. I have access only to the fast boot.
never custom firmware.. never s-on
during the upgrade i disconnect the phone.. and i tried really all things.. installing RUU from sdcard , upload RUU with sdk tool etc. etc..
before trying updates the SDK tools i had access to the boot menu (with power + volume down combinations) but now i can not even have that.. only screen with 4 exclamation icon.. and fastboot access with sdk-tools (android 1.0 phone drivers)
since 4 days i try everything... but no result.
this htc really make me sick.
please help me.
thank you advance
Alright then, how did you s-off? What RUU did you use?
You just rooted and kept the same software?
If you disconnected during upgrade you may have bricked it and only HTC can resolve.
When you RUU what failure message do you get?

I am sure if you can get into Hboot / Fastboot all is not lost, just use adb commands to restore functionality to your phone, like reflashing recovery and stuff.

Looks like a radio brick. You never did tell me what RUU you are using.
You cant use fastboot if you are S-ON
I had that to, and i get it running again.
In my case i had flashed the cm7r2 from alpharev before, so i had to use the downgrader first, to install my stock RUU.
After downgrading i startet the RUU.exe from windows, in the first try it stoped with an error.
If this happens you have to do all steps exactly ass the RUU installer says.
In the first try i didnt do that just klicked the steps away and didnt even read what RUU recomends.
But in the second try i did all these steps and i get my phone up running again.
And its important to use the right RUU for your phone otherwise you will get an signature fail
Edit: If your not s-off and you have isues getting into recovery, try to flash revolutionary, will gain you s-off and clockworkmod recovery

If fastboot works then he should be able to flash an recovery via cmd in windows
and then he could use revolutionary to or am i wrong ?

You need an S-off alpharev SPL to enable fastboot flash command support. He is S-ON so he cannot fastboot flash anything.

[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.
I've ended up with a Htc desire of which I don't know the background since wasnt mine. the only thing i found out (when unplug from pc) :

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).

[SOLVED] Going back to stock rom problems

im about to sell my Desire and i need to go back to stock rom.
Its running Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 Special Edition med 4EXT Recovery.
While installing a stock rom i got an error with the system files (see picture)
Now i cant do anyting it just shows me the HTC Logo with 4 white triangles with exclamation marks. i cant get in recovery or anything.
Does anyone have an idea for what to do ?
if u tried to run a ruu.exe file then it failed coz u still have CM7r2 hboot, u should of used the AlphaRev downgrader first. the CM7r2 hboot system partition is too small for the ruu

It should be easy.
Flash this in bootloader (Vol Dn + Power). Put the file on root of your SD Card. Then rename it to PB99IMG.zip
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-4hydAqepNwbUZqWUd0ZTlFaW8
Then then pull your battery off, and copy on your root of SD card file below. It is unrooted stock ROM for desire. Again, you have to rename this file to PB99IMG.zip and flash in bootloader. It should be working.

I did this yesterday and was before using the same rom as you do. My proximity sensor does not work properly so I have to send my device to the service.

imo this is not fastboot flashing. Flashing from fastboot means putting the device in fastboot mode, connecting the PC with USB and executing the fastboot program with the img file as argument.

And how do you call it? You need to flash this two ZIP files from Fastboot (you do not need USB connection with PC or Andrid Flasher utility) when requested files are stored on SD card. When you enter fastboot mode it will search for file PB99IMG.zip and if found this on your SD card root it give you an option to flash it.

There are two modes during booting. One is the bootloader mode and the other is the fastboot mode. It is in bootloader mode (Vol Dn + Power) that PB99IMG.zip files are flashed.

Anyway getting to the OP as suggested by jmcclue you must:-
- download downgrade img from alpharev.nl.
-Flash it from fastboot.
-Download 2.3 RUU from shipped roms and run the exe from PC.

The names you should be able to see
1. PB99IMG_downgrade from alpharev.nl ... http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_downgrade.zip
2. PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed from this forum. ....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
I just posted links from my folder, they surely are not infected. The reason of this is that I was on my Desire-tapatalk so I did not have time to look for the original sources of that files when I already have it stored on one place.

Yes, go ahead and flash that RUU, and if you have branded phone you'll get your desire stucked at hboot.
Jmcclue already told him what to flash, 2.3 RUU is made for all Desire versions, no matter of brand.

lol, did u use the ruu ? does ur phone boot now??

Stuck in white HTC screen after RUU, S-OFF

My problem: (I'm a total noob)
1. used Unrevoked 3.21 to ROOT - finished
2. used Revolutionary to S-OFF - finished
However, desire went into bootloop. Finally loaded, worked fine. After restart - same bootloop.
3. Decided I would just restore everything by flashing stock RUU as in video (noob proof guide)
used 2.29.405.14 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 (same as mine)
Finished installation, but on boot desire gets stuck on white HTC screen.
Details:
Revolutionary
Bravo pvt1 S-OFF
Hboot 6.93.1002
Tried the following methods described in bortak's troubleshooting guide:
[1] didn't work - press "Recovery" --> white HTC screen
[2] Method 1 - Android flasher freezes after: "booting, OKAY, finished." --> white HTC screen. Recovery --> white HTC screen.
[2] Method 2 - "fastboot oem gencheckpt"- phone goes to white HTC screen - cmd freezes after "Info hboot time"
Disconnect phone -> "failed (status read failed (too many links)) finished. total time". Recovery --> white HTC screen.
Could you help me, please?
Should I just try to rerun the same RUU on fastboot? Or flash the same ROM with PB99IMG.zip method? Any other actions necessary or any other suggestions?

Code:
I know I just replied differently on my guide, but try this first.
Get cmd out and type some things! You'll need fastboot for this, you can find a zip file which contains all you need on my guide, attached in one of my posts called fastboot.zip. unzip it into c:\
Download a recovery image (.img file), rename it to recovery.img and place it into c:\ boot your phone into fastboot mode (when it's off, hold back and power), and plug it in via USB.
[code]fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt
This should flash and boot your new recovery. If it doesn't work then grab the 2.3 RUU from resources on my guide. You don't need a goldcard, or anything. Just the RUU, boot into fastboot, plug in via usb and run RUU.exe
[PROBLEM SOLVED]
Thanks, bortak. The first method didn't work.
Installed 2.3 RUU - finished installation:
windows - "this program might not have installed correctly"
desire - bootloop.
Removed sd card, booted - everything's fine, inserted sd card - everything's fine. Tried rebooting - fine.
The device seems to be running fine.
[PROBLEM SOLVED]
At last I'm able to enjoy my desire
bortak, thank you very very much for you support )

In my sig, there's an sd-card partitioning guide. In that guide, you will find methods to install 4ext recovery. Try them.
thanks dude, i will try and let you know, :good:
jmcclue said:
Updated to the latest version, 4ext Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC9
EDIT: No need to rename it now, just download and put on sdcard.
Edited because some people could not get it to work because renaming it was the hardest thing in the world :banghead:
All credits to Madmaxx for this great recovery....
Download PB99IMG.zip and put it on ur sdcard and then with ur phone off hold volume down + power. ur bootloader will look for the PB99IMG then ask u if u want to update recovery, volume up for YES, it will then ask you to reboot device, volume down for NO. Once its finished u now have 4ext recovery and just use volume buttons to navigate to recovery then press power button to enter recovery. I have tried it myself and it works, its the exact same method to install as Alpharev's hboots via PB99IMG.
Dont forget u must be S-OFF lol
Dont forget to delete it off sdcard once ur done or u will get asked to update everytime u enter bootloader
MD5 - 79496e1478ea56e33f3f2d90ac88adfe
(Also u can extract the PB99IMG.zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot commands or android flasher)
