Hi! I know this is a well known problem and I try to read as many related topic i could find but I'm still stuck... Here's the situation:
I have a HTC Desire Bravo (european version i guess, I bought it here in Italy around 2 years ago), with definetely some overheating problems. I haven't use this phone in a long time, yesterday I turn it on and it start loading the Cyano 7 that was already install on the device. It freeze at the animation boot. After that first time it never worked again. Stuck with htc logo if I turn it on, sometimes does the 7 vibrate thing (which I come to the conclusion it's 'cause is overheating A LOT), sometimes it stuck on a reboot<-->htc logo loop untill I remove the battery.
I just want to make it run again, and maybe i'll send it to htc for the overheating, but first I need to bring it back to stock. Here's what I try:
- i flash the bravo downgrade by alpharev to bring the original partition table
- i flash a recovery, won't start (stuck with htc logo ec..ec...)
- I try the RUU, but it won't recognize the phone in hboot
- I try the pb99img method... it doesn't get recognize from the bootloader
So I am stuck with the Device in fastboot, can't get a recovery work so I can't flash any rom or ruu. If it helps, here's the hboot screen

Thanks for the quick response! But how exactly am I going to do that? The PC just won't recognize the phone plug in in HBOOT, so the ruu installer fail and says he can't find the phone (ERROR 170).
Maybe i have a wrong version of hboot?
OMG i made it work!! I put it in a plastic bag in the freezer for 20min and now i'm in recovery!!! I can't believe it really work:laugh:
I did some wipe and try to install the stock rom, just to make it work, but it's stuck on "Veryfying update package", and the progress bar won't go on. Mainboard it's already burning, at least now I know it has some hardware issues.
I'm gonna try downgrade it back to factory (s-on, unroot, all original ecc..) and send it back to HTC. Do you know if the warranty is still valid considering I bought it in november 2010 and i still have the receive ?
Warranty should be 2 years from the moment you bought it.

Right i'm a bit of a noob at all this and have got myself in a bit too deep!!!
The problems started after applying the CM7 hboot and s-off with aplpharev. (which seemed to go OK)
After applying a new rom i got stuck in a boot loop so tried other roms from recovery and had the same problem, Nandroid also wouldn't restore.
I then decide it would be best to flash an RUU which went tits up and has lead to the black screen with 4 triangles in each corner. I have tried several other RUUs but no luck either. I also cannot boot in to recovery at all now.
When i plug and unplug the device to a pc, it gives the following info:

Pluging it in returns it to the black screen
I have trawled the forums but nothing seems to work (i have resorted to creating a thread after 2 days of trying things!)
Any chance of an idiots guide from a guru on how to get the device usable again? (bearing in mind my reasonably limited knowledge!)
I know there are many threads on this already but i can't seem to find a fix that works.

Can't look into this too much right now but I'm pretty sure your RUU flash failed because you're using the r2 version of that HBOOT which has something in it that prevents it from being over-written by the RUU. Try flashing the Downgrader HBOOT and then give the RUU a shot. Should get you back to stock.
Also, move this to the Q&A thread.
Boot in to fastboot then
plug in usb
Then run ruu. As administrator if you have windows 7/vista

I have same problem two days ago. Mine stuck at CM7 r2 partition while RUU need 250MB of system partition. After fighting around 4hours then I try to to flash HBOOT downgrader and then flash stock HBOOT then run RUU again.
Once alive I am rooting it again again and flash custom rom since I am not satisfied with original rom hahaha..
Sorry for my bad english.

You just need to flash the downgrader hboot to flash the ruu.. And only if you are using one of the new r2 hboots. The ruu will over write the hboot so no point in flashing the downgrader and then the stock.

Again, may be being stupid, but how do i flash the hboot the only screen i can access is the htc and 4 triangles?
try to cool down your device and flash again...
it sounds stupid, but it works for me.
i put my device without battery in fridge for 5 minutes, then i flash again and it works.
if the device warms up it stop working.
mine have hardware fault.

im so hapy for you man
Good day to all
Yesterday i get a bricked desire, that was only loading to bootloader. It is CID locked and not rooted. So i decided after some googling to find a suitable RUU, but i tryed aroud 15 and no luck. Flashing stops at radio upgrade and wont move. Now the phone is in a diferent state. It starts in a black screen with HTC sign and danger signs in corner. It still react on flashing, but now i cant do anything else. It just dont want to flash the radio. I found many advices and manuals, but they are for rooted and CID unlocked devices. So my question is... What now???
This screen appears.

As i said in my very first post... It freezes when he flash radio at 35%. And the question is... what now.
you can try to flash a recovery with android flasher and then instal a costum rom
Device is not rooted and not CID unlocked.
Any new ideas?
Would be nice to get some new hint i am nearly at end of possibilities.
why you tried to use ruu when you are on stock rom with branded device?
and did you bricked your device before flashing ruu.exe or after flashed it?
hey you can create a goldcard if your phone is recognised in fastboot in pc..
that will solve all your problems.
PHONE IS ALIVE Refridgerator trick worked. But still its overheating. Radio upgrade will be enough or its really damaged?
What about some giant active cooling :-D
I opened thedevice and inserted a piece of metal between processor and procesor cover with heatsinkin white pasta. For now no overheating. Posting from the desire
I had Oxygen hboot installed but wanted to switch back to original ROM. I Ran RUU but forgot to replace hboot with original one.
Now i have gray HTC in middle and /!\ in corners.
I can run RUU again and it recognizes the phone, but gives ERROR[152]:IMAGE UPDATE ERROR and recovery option doesn't help either, ends up with same error while retrying.
I can't boot into bootloader with power+vol. down
Any suggestions what to do next ? Is there any solutions ?
Nevermind, Fastboot worked. Flashed correct hboot, ran RUU again and it's working now.
please help
Can you be more specific for a noob?! I have the exact same problem and i'm desperate. What exactly did you do?
You need to fastboot flash (using commands or android flasher) the Alpharev downgrader image like it says on the alpharev site. Basically the same way you flashed your current hboot.
done
thanks guys, mine is working too now
Hi guyz!
I just bought a second hand Desire from a guy i dont know, and it seems it has some issues. I know it is not bricked as i can enter the bootloader and the fastboot mode. But that's all. I cannot access any recovery i flash, or boot any rom.
I flashed several RUU's via bootloader, one of them is booting but it reboots as soon as it settles down. Others dont even boot.
I am familiar with flashing, with fastboot and all that, i just have no experience in HTC Desire.

So this is what i get. Is there a method to get some working ROM on this one, other than flashing RUU's that doesnt seem to work? Or flashing with recovery?
I have flashed clockwork recovery via fastboot, it still doesnt work. It vibrates 7 times than the screen stays at the htc logo.
Maybe there is a fastboot method to inject all the stock stuff into the phone? And maybe somebody have those img's?
Many thanks, guys!
I am trying to return my Desire to stock so that I can hand it down in the family, since i got a new GNex. while trying to run RUU during the radio flash, the phone vibrates multiple times and the RUU process fails.
Now am stuck with HTC logo and 4 "!" marks in the corners.

have a look at the first sticky post at the top of the Q&A thread, i'm pretty sure it covers it
i did try the sticky thread... but i am not able to achieve S-ON even after flashing bravo_downgrader
Try the unsigned version of the RUU in this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
If this doesn't work try one of the WWE versions.
EDIT: see also this thread, which discusses the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191565

Hey guys, I had a HTC Desire that started working very strange. It was constantly freezing at the HTC logo (booting). After removing the battery for a few minutes, I could turn on the phone again. I tried rooting, it always failed. Then I tried installing 2.3 via HTC Dev official software. Followed all the instructions and had a RADIO_V2 - Fail PU. The RUU enters recovery mode: I unplug, remove battery for 3 seconds, then plug again and it runs the same procedure: RADIO_V2 - Fail PU again. I just tried 4x and nothing. The phone is bricked. If I try to boot holding volume down, it won't go to recovery, it just turns black with ! sign in all corners.
I am just afraid my Desire has some hardware problem, but in any case, now it is bricked. Any suggestions?

Download a recovery img for the phone, plug it in and run 'fastboot boot [recovery.img]' to boot into recovery or 'fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img] to flash and then boot into recovery.

Looks like you're not in recovery there, but in Fastboot menu.
You might want to go back to bootloader menu and check if you have the recovery option.
From there maybe you can flash a working rom...
yes i can go to recovery but when i press recovery i get stuck at logo screen!and i have to pull the battery out to turn it off...

i have red it already...i cant get it into recovery!!! i see only bootloader and when i press recovery it gets stuck on a logo!! never mind its probably a hardware issue ....
You are in stock recovery as you are s-on, if you want custom recovery you need s-off or flash it during rooting process via unrevoked.
Extract Rom.zip from CORRECT RUU and rename it to PB99IMG.zip and put in the root of sd card, if phone is branded and you are unable to find correct ruu, use WWE rui and goldcard, all the additional info you find in bortak's guide

i already tried bortak's guide,i am not that noob and i tried like 10 different roms and nothing,it does load the rom but when it restarts it just hangs again at boot screen
and i cannot use unrevoked or revolutionary or ruu because the phone isnt recognized by any of these programs because i didn't activate usb debugging and now the phone doesn't turn on and i can't do that,i am telling you i have spent 2 whole days reading and trying all kind of stuff and nothing helped..i think its a hardware failure of some kind....
i think it is a hardware issue because when i install drivers it says android bootloader device but it says also that device cannot start (code 10)
anyway i tried yesterday heating the MBO with hot air in my workshop(i am electric technician) i thought some chip on MBO was unsoldered but with no luck so i threw the whole thing away in the garbage!
