[Q] O2 HTC Desire Can't Apply RUU Please Help!

Hello,
I'm posting here in desperation, I really hope someone could help me.
I've recently bought a HTC Desire from O2. It was running Android 2.2 but I flashed cyanogenmod to it along with the latest radio.
Cyanogenmod worked fine but the radio stopped my 3G internet from working. In the end I decided to simply revert back to original setup using a RUU.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, the first RUU I tried ALMOST worked but then failed claiming a file was missing and that I needed to try a complete RUU.
From that point onwards I have been unable to find an RUU that will work - I constantly receive error code 140, bootloader version error.
Can anyone please tell me how to circumvent this error OR provide me with an O2 RUU that will work?
Here's the spec from my startup screen:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP - 051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.09.05.30_2
Please note that the only option I have available to me from the boot-menu is RUU - Any option to enter recovery mode is not visible.
Please please help me, thank you so much in advance.

I wish I could give helpful advice...
I'm gonna try though.
Download one of the latest RUU's from here.
Perhaps your RUU was a bit old?
I've only ever done RUU once, when sending my phone back for repair. I encountered another issue.

To the OP, which RUU are u trying to use?

Make sure you've got a goldcard then do the downgrade. After that you should be able to do any RUU you like.

Lol just try a different radio. Have you manually set your APN?

Hi dehaani. In order to run the downgrade utility I surely need to be able to access my device (to enable usb debugging ) I currently can't get further than a grey HTC logo with exclamation marks in the corners? Is there a way to downgrade without the need to boot in to a ROM?
I've tried running almost all RUU I can find online, most of them result in Error 140: Bootloader version error.
I can't flash another radio because the only option I have available to me in bootloader is "RUU", no option to restore etc. How do I manually set my APN?! Would this involve access to the phone too?
Thank you all so much for your responses so far, please keep helping.

try again hope good luck

This might have been pot luck on my part getting through to someone who knew their stuff, but I had a problem when flashing Oxygen RC7 to my desire.
I had to ring o2 about another contract I have, used by a family member, and they asked if there was anything else they could help with so I jokingly replied "not unless you know about flashing replacement ROMs..." would you Adam & Eve it, the clever little badger only went and talked me through the issue I had come across on my Desire.
Might be worth giving them a bell if you cant find a solution online, I've always found them very helpful.

You tried this description, and followed it word for word?
And to my knowledge you should not need to create a goldcard when you have an unbranded device.

I had the exact problem. I created a goldcard, and everthing worked out fine. Not sure why a goldcard is required even when our device is apparently unbranded, but anyways, goldcard does the work.

Thank you so much for replying. I have yet to try out the guide you have mentioned in the link, however, I do need to ask one or two questions:
1. If I create a goldcard, will I be able to ever upgrade to the Official Gingerbread ROM, when it is released for India.
2. Can I switch between ROMs (stock/non-stock) seamlessly, without any complains.
I would really appreciate if you would really help me out here.

I had the same problem with downgrading to 1.3 as of the PD98IMG.zip. tried for 2 days and i kept getting the CID incorrect error. finally it came to me..i wasnt running the command prompt as administrator. it worked like a charm for me. that might be the reason why you're getting the CID incorrect error.

For your first question, no. And it has nothing to do with goldcard. I you are rooted and use some custom rom, you will not receive any official updates. Although you can at anytime go back to stock to get them.
But beleive me, when you start using custom roms, you do not need the official updates. I too am from India, and was waiting for the official 2.3.3, but finally a few days back decided to root and go for custom rom (RCMixHD Kingdom). And i am loving it..
So go ahead, make your goldcard.
And yeah, for your second, yes you can. Although, i dont think you will ever..

You need to find a ruu that matches your phone. But if you give us this little information we cannot help you.
- What errors did you get when running the ruu? And try to be exact.

I tried one of the WWE roms from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 I think it was the top download, it came up with something like please use the correct RUU and try again, I bought my phone Unlocked and I think it was unbranded if that helps, thanks!

It sounds like you are getting a "wrong CID" error. Which means that your phone wasn't originally unbranded.
Two possibilities.
1) find the correct RUU for your operator, that one should install properly
OR: 2) create a goldcard, many tutorials on the Web (Google for one), then the WWE RUU will successfully install. BUT you'll end up with a generic ROM, not the operator-specific one originally installed on your handset.

Is there any way that I can find out the exact RUU i need?
Sorry to sound noobish but I have no idea what a goldcard is, thanks for your help.

Use this guide to make a gold card, its pretty simple.

Not that I am aware of. I would try the ones from shipped roms that correspond with the network you use.

You should've thought about un rooting at the time you rooted it..
There is a method to find out which ruu you need. Find the threads I've started, and look for the guide on un bricking an slcd desire..the faq had the info you need

I'm trying to unroot to stock rom and stuff, and I have the Telus specific RUU file.
The quick gold card making, hex-edit free software is not a viable option because the website listed on the software is now gone;;
Also, which guide should I stick to? There are so many on the forums with different methods.

you can find which RUU is yours by trying to match the build number* (if you're still on the stock HTC Froyo ROM) to other RUU's, go to about phone, software and look for it there.
*I think it's the build number

hi, i also have almost the same problems. i tried the three WWE roms, and all the european roms, but it still doesnt work. and im getting an Error [170] or [120]. by the way my phone is not branded. my buildnumber is: 2.50.405.2 CL87995. what should i do now?

For error 170: Make sure you installed hboot drivers and htc sync drivers (correctly).
For error 120: It seems you got the wrong image. Please check you downloaded the right version. Reset your device ("clear storage") and then run ruu again.

[Q] Problem with screen, weird hboot, SIM, 3g network

Hello,
I have just got my HTC One X, and unfortunately it seems that it's some kind of chinese phone, and I'm now trying to make it work the right way. In fact i have found out that it isn't even One X, but One XT (chinese version).
First Problem(screen):
I have problem with my screen. It just acting weird sometimes. This shows exactly my problem: youtube[dot]com/watch?v=T4GUnlMKTds (sorry that i'm overriding spam prevention, but i cant explain this problem better). I have contacted HTC support but they told me that my IMEI isn't even in their database(probably it had motherboard replacement), and they can't help me. It looks to me like problem with a badly connected wires from display. Do you think that disassembling phone, and checking these wires could help?
Second Problem(hboot):
This phone have some weird ROM (version 2.10.1403.7) and i found out that to flash CyanogenMod i need at least hboot 1.28. But... I have 1.12, and because my CID is HTCCN704, I'm not sure i can change hboot to newer version. I have read that i need proper CID to flash hboot, but what will happen if I just flash any hboot i find? Will changing CID to SuperCID allow me to change hboot?
Third Problem(SIM):
Sometimes my HOX thinks that my SIM is removed. I have to remove it, and put it back in to make him recognize my SIM card. Is it possible that it's just software issue, and changing ROM will fix that?
And the last problem(3g):
My phone can't connect to 3G, It just uses EDGE(I even tried to use *#*#4636#*#* menu to change it manually to use WCDMA, no luck). Is it fault of phone's origin or is it possible to fix that?

Hmm not sure if our firmwares supports the Chinese version ? Can you install ics based roms from this forum ? I mean are those working ?
If so you can try to flash the 3.14.401 standalone firmware to upgrade the hboot to 1.39 and install any rom you like.
