Thats kinnda what I did I think....And the problem is that my phone is stuck on htc logo screen. So now I would be happy just to get back to working phone.

Can you get in to the hboot by starting phone by pressing volume down + power? And I think latest ruu is the ruu_bravo_froyo_htc_wwe_2.29.405.5

Well I need ruu for europe cuz im theere. And yes,I can get into hboot. From there I tryed recovery.

I'm from europe too and the right ruu for mine phone is the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27
And i think you have to use that one because of the hboot. the ruu you are using have a old hboot version and i dont think the ruu will downgrade hboot..
But if you can enter fasboot use that to flash a recovery and wipe youre phone then install a custome room on it.

Before installing RUU, make sura that you have installed Alpharev stock hboot
1. download from alpharev.nl the file "bravo_alphaspl.img" then put it on your desire with fastboot
2. install RUU
I did that 5 minutes ago..

Also take care to not flash versions older than 2.0 unless you're sure that you have a AMOLED and not SLCD.
Command:
In Fastboot mode:
fastboot flash hboot hbootname.img

Unless the computer/phone has ESP, yes, both adb and fastboot need a cable connection!
If you dont want to do it over cable, find the corresponding PB99IMG and follow the PB99IMG method

Use the attached file.
Put it in the root of your card (not in any folder)
Reboot by pressing Vol- and Power button.
When asked to update, confirm with Vol -
This should give you a working recovery. Then you can flash any rom as you usually do, and at that instance, your bootloops will be solved too.
After this, if you still wish to return Hboot to Stock (without losing S-Off), you can use this PB99IMG. <Make sure you rename it to the same name as the previous file after deleting the former.

[Q] Revolutionary hboot - need to return to stock

I've done a lot of reading and see where Alpharev has a hboot downgrader but does this work with CDMA version BravoC?
I rooted using Revolutionary after having hboot 1.06 for a USCC Desire. Phone is out of standard warranty but I need to send phone in for repair under extended warranty. When I flash 2.2 RUU it cannot roll back hboot version.
Thanks!

I still haven't found anything. Thanks for the help.

what was your original Hboot number?
see alpharev page, if your model is supported try this -
flash HBOOT bravo_downgrader and right after that run appropriate RUU wich contains default hboot to protect extended warranty
as a result of this process you become S-ON again with stock Hboot
i think this may work even for CDMA version but i am not 100% sure
google it and you will find the answer

Here is about GSM Desire...
Actually I just use revolutionary to s-off my phone and it work. I test several new ROMs right now, then I try to flash stock ROM back when found this thread. I can flash the RUU HTC Froyo successfully. but...
the hboot is not overwritten. it still revolutionary. I am very sure the stock ROM I use contain hboot. because I can see it upgrade my hboot from 0.8.000 to 0.93.0001 during I flash this ROM before I s-off it yesterday.
revolutionary claim that we can get the original hboot if we flash stock ROM that contain hboot but it not working for me. maybe you need to tell them about this.

[8]STILL S-OFF AFTER RUU
"I want to return my phone for warranty, I used a RUU but I'm still S-OFF"
Cause:
- Alpharev's Hboots are write protected, so that they can not be overwritten by a RUU
HOW TO S-ON
METHOD 1#
[STEP1]- Visit Alpharev and download the "Downgrader"
[STEP2]- Flash the downgrader over fastboot. This can be done with Android Flasher, cmd, or fastboot commander (Note: android flasher is the only program that does not require third party software such as Android SDK or Java JDK)
[STEP3]- You should now notice the title on the bootloader screen is "Alpharev Unlock", run the RUU again and you will have S-ON'd your device.
#METHOD 2#
[STEP1]- Instead of running the RUU again, and putting your phone at risk once more, you can simply upgrade just the bootloader manually, with the PB99IMG.zip method.
[PHASE1]- we need to extract rom.zip from the RUU.
[P1/STEP1]- Run the RUU (BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE OR CONTINUE), move it to the side as it cannot be minimised.
[P1/STEP2]- go to start menu, and use the "run" feature. Type in %temp%
[P1/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.
[P1/STEP4]- search the folders for rom.zip and extract it to the desktop.
[P1/STEP5]- delete everything EXCEPT "hboot_8x50_0.93.0001_20100810.nb0" and "android-info.txt"
[P1/STEP6]- rename the zip to PB99IMG.zip (make sure it is not PB99IMG.zip.zip)
[PHASE2]- now we need to update the bootloader
[P2/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.
[P2/STEP2]- Once the process is finished, you will now be S-ON.

The system doesn't flash because you still have the cm7 r2 Hboot on your phone, and the system partition is far to small for the stock ROM.. hence you get the system fail.
go to alpharev.nl and download "Bravo Stock". Plug in via usb and turn the phone on (it should be in RUU mode... which is almost the same as fastboot mode AFAIK), and flash the "Bravo Stock" hboot.
Once you've done that, try the latest WWE RUU (if you have a goldcard or you're unbranded)

how can i flash any file to the phone without enter into the recovery !!!!
i cant inter into recovery i am soooooo sad

I'm no expert but having just went through a similar problem to you I can reassure you that the advice you have already been given looks ok.
You don't need to get into the recovery screen - it sounds as if your phone is entering bootloader mode when you turn it on.
In bootloader you are able to use fastboot commands (as described in the above posts) which will allow you to update/upgrade your phone as you wish.
Good luck!

Branded no system and S-ON

Hi,
i just bought htc desire branded by Orange, i dont know wheres is phone from.
I unrooted it by flashing RUU ROM from shipedroms by PB99IMG.zip. Everything was ok but system failed (fail-pu). I tryed it again and it wroted "invalid cid".
Now i have phone with defaul bootloader (S-ON) and without any ROM and i dont know how to get some into it. ADB dont see any device and i have only access throught fastboot.
Do you have any idea how to fix it?
I would realy appreciate it.

Post your HBoot information if you want some help.
Also check bortak's awesome and often overlooked troubleshooting guide stickied on this section for some self help.

make goldcard

My HBOOT:
HBOOT 0.93.0001
PVT4
S-ON

Hi, I helping dziosh with this. I try update and RUU_HTC...exe end with force close. But I dont know how i go to download mod(I think) where adb now see the device but offline. Restart server not working and on display is phone with exclamation point in triangle. I repeat, we dont have functional ROM, recovery, and S-OFF.
Any idea ?
PS sorry for my english.
Thx for reply.

Download mode- do you mean hboot or fastboot? Start the phone with power and vol - held down - for hboot for fastboot power and back button... Without goldcard you can't flash WWE RUU, try to find Froyo for Orange or risk it with 2.3.3 from HTC dev... Single exclamation mark means stock recovery... Exclamation mark in each corner means sort of fastboot

Sorry this not be download mod. And we can't flash any rom by PB99IMG.zip way(S-ON, Brand and dont have goldcard). Can we do this over the fastboot SDK or somethink else ?
BTW Can we get CID SD card without functional ROM ? Example From other desire with same SD card?

any android phone can read cid of the card and create gold card

I got back my warranty repaired Desire the other day with this configuration. Unrevoked doesn't work, I can only assume because of the PVT4, I already had a gold card which had helped root several phones but this didn't help.
In the end the only resort was to S-off using revolutionary.io, no gold card required.
Once you are s-offed (and the process can add a recovery) you can boot into recovery and flash a downloaded rom.

Ok we have gold card but all tutorials for s-off need functional rom
Any idea?

i could not root it by revolutionary because i dont have system. I have only access to bootloader with s-on, i need some procedure to root it without system.
could anynone help ?

As you have goldcard install WWE RUU, then go for s off

S-off does not require a functional rom. Simply go to revoltionary.io and download their beta tool and get a key to use it.
Whatever you've been reading about instructions requiring a rom is incorrect.

HTC Desire bricked for good?

Before you said "another bricked post!?" hear me out..
I spent last 5 hours looking for a fix to this problem and I just could found any so any help would be nice..
I had Cyanogenmod 7.2 installed with CM7 r2 hboot, then I saw nice theme in zip. file, good comments, so I made a backup and installed it.
Nope, stuck in HTC boot.. Alright, battery out, let me try recovery and restore.. Nothing, couldn't enter recovery no matter what I do.. Guess it's bricked so I downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe (latest I could find). Boot into fastboot and started RUU, nope again, black HTC boot, update failed.. then I realized I had CM7 r2 hboot and now i can't even start bootloader, it opens but it only says RUU with black triangles with !..
TLDR.. bricked with CM7 r2 hboot, can't open bootloader, can't open recovery and for some sick reason my card reader won't recognize SD card.. so I can't really acces SD card
Anyway to fix this or am I boned?

Try the 2.3 RUU. ( link in my sig)

ruu didnt work coz u have to be on stock hboot and flash alphrev downgrader and then ruu (2.3 like posted above is the best bet). a ruu is too big to fit on CM7r2 hboot

thank you but that's not RUU, it's rar file with zip upgrade file in it, or am I missing something?
I can't access bootloader so I can't install it, it's stucked at black HTC logo and failed RUU update so only RUU can fix it, I guess so..
is there an gingerbread RUU exe file anywhere?

I guessed that was a problem, but I can't access bootloader or recovery, I tried everything I could think of.. is there anyway to downgrade it via usb, like RUU?
sorry mods for double post

Fastboot commands should still work in RUU mode.So shouldnt be hard to downgrade.
fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img, or something like that.
Oh and the ruu is in the zip file just extract it.

yh like colin says fastboot commands should still work. just pull the battery for a min and put back in then hold back button + power then if it powers on (vibrates) then plug it in to computer then flash the downgrader (put bravo_downgrade.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer)
fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_downgrade.img
if that works then run the 2.3 ruu in my sig
