I have revoked my Desire version, and it have worked excellent untill now
Received the latest OTA on danish desire, install and since then I cannot use the phone
What I can do is
Boot normally, and it reboots to the white screen with a HTC logo, continues to reboot
Boot into Hboot menu
In the Hboot menu, It loads and checks the PB99IMG.zip and drops back to the Hoot menu. I have tried stock roms here and the LeeDroid V2.3B renaming both Zip files to PB99IMG.zip
If I enter the Fastboot option, I can select:
Bootloader, and I returns into the Hboot menu
Reboot, and it reboots.
Reboot Bootloader, it reloads
Power Down does as intended
If I select the recovery menu, it goes directly to a screen with a nearly black image, with a red triangle
It can clear the storage, and reboots afer 5 seconds afterwards.
If i plug in the USB cable it says Hboot USB PLUG
IF I try to run the "Fastboot erase cache " from the SDK, it just waits for the device.

any Idea on how to get my phone back to working condition?
Go into recovery mode and install a recovery.
RA-desire for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
Pick any ROM you like and flash it using the recovery.
How do I do that? In recovery mode it just shows a red triangle? I have the SDK tools, and the RA recovery image, but I really don't get it how to install the RA recovery image, sorry

You might have to ignore a couple of the first steps as the guide assumes your phone is still working.
This is why it's been said good THOUSAND times NOT to flash an OTA on a rooted handset. PLEASE search before posting the same question

No Eddy isn't saying that at all. And I have to agree with him. Ur problem has been posted by countless other people and the solution too is on those threads. Just do a search here or on Google. You'll note that on those threads at xda, eddy himself has responded to most of them. It just involves resetting the phone to factory mode. Don't ask how. Search !

Let me close this thread once and for all.
Solution to boot loop on applying OTA update over Rooted Desire:
Do the following in sequence and proceed with each step if the previous fails:
Fastboot (Back+Power) > Bootloader > Clear Storage
Fastboot > Recovery > Wipe
Apply the corresponding RUU.
And for the RUU, kindly see the shipped roms>Bravo page.

Thank you. I have tried that, but the RUU doesn't seem to reconize my phone. Unbranded desire. I hve tried with both the HTC drivers and with the Modified drivers, that are recommended by the unrevoked team..
Seems like it have to go back.

You dont need drivers for the PB99IMG.zip method. See my thread "How to Unroot-Guide for Newbies" in my signature. You didnt mention your software version. Create a goldcard and use a WWE RUU with a software version equal to or higher than the version you currently have on phone. Read that thread completely before asking qns.
and the PB99IMg method worked.. The trick I missed was to extract it from the RRU.. Tnx everybody!
Hi,

Reflash the recovery in fastboot. Get 4EXT Touch recovery, boot into fastboot and write in cmd
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
u can get latest 4ext tecovery in my sig, just click PB99IMG 4ext recovery and extract the zip file then put recovery.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer, put ur phone into fastboot (with ur phone off hold back button + power) and plug it into ur computer (so it says "fastboot usb") then open fastboot command window and type -
fastboot erase recovery
(then type)
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
or... u could just do it the PB99IMG method, instructions in that link.
ps: next time post problems in desire Q&A

Damn. It's not working - neither ur way, nor the alternative solution.
When i type fastboot flash recovery, the console says "sending recovery <3784 KB>...." and then it freezes. There is a greeen rectangle in the left corner of the smartphone screen, but nothing happens.
When i tried the alternetive way (with recovery.img on sd card) HBOOT hasn't seen the image.
EDIT: I put ZIP on sdcard, HBOOT installed recovery, but it still freezes on HTC logo screen.
when u used PB99IMG to install recovery did u try enter recovery or just reboot?
Sent from my HTC Desire
i couldn't install recovery fom PC.
When i installed it form bootloader, i didn't reboot. I tried to get into recovery immediately. No dice. So i've reinstalled it, tried to reboot, and then get in the recovery - still nothing.
hmm strange. u could try Android Flasher, google it and ul find it. its a tool to flash recovery, splash screens etc. also what does ur bootloader say?

ok download PB99IMG and put on ur sdcard then hold volume down + power
when bootloader asks to update recovery? press volume up for yes
then it asks to reboot? volume down for no. Then try get into recovery.
or use android flasher to flash recovery.img
Hopefully this will work.
attached files are Amon-Ra Recovery

No.
I'm out of hope now... PB99IMG is beeing installed correctly, but i still can't get into the recovery.

1 more thing, Have u got HTC Sync installed? i think that it interfere's with fastboot n that. u only need the drivers installed.
U can get bootloader so it should be fixable, its just nothing is working lol.
The only thing i can think of is going back to s-on :crying:
you would have to flash alpharev downgrader, flash stock hboot and then run the 2.3 upgrade from bootloader. this is last resort so maybe someone can confirm first before trying. if it went well then u can just use revolutionary to gain s-off and instal CWM recovery
i wouldn't mind going on s-on again. But can u do that without ADB mode available?

not 100% sure but u can do it using the PB99IMG method. Basically u have to extract the rom.zip and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put on ur sdcard then hold volume down + power then bootloader will ask u to update. The same as before. just make sure u flash Alpharev downgrader first. (i know this works as i done it myself 2 month ago)
if u want i can post both downgrader and rom zip files if u want as PB99IMG?
Do u have stock hboot?
i guess stock hboot.
It would be very kind of you if u post both files here - i don't want to download any wrong files....
Thanks again!
Hey ,
I have a HTC desire ( Bravo PVT1 Ship S-OFF, HBoot 6.93.1002 , Revolutionary)) and it wont run recovery.
Reflashing Recovery.img works with fastboot, but still wont run recovery , it hangs on the HTC screen.
What started the problems : First i rooted the phone and installed a ROM with clockworkrecovery , and it was working well, But I wanted to expand the memory , so i followed these instructions to install 4EXT recovery:
Like posted above, never use minitool, it creates bad partitions. If ur s-off then flash 4ext recovery via fastboot commands or use the 4ext recovery PB99IMG in my sig, instructions r there. Once 4ext recovery is installed on ur phone u need to boot recovery, select it in the bootloader menu (if phone off, volume down + power then select recovery) once in recovery, goto tools, partition sdcard, remove all partitions and start from scratch then choose
1024
Skip
Skip
Then choose ext4
Once thats done, goto main menu then wipe/format and format all partitions except sdcard, after that wipe dalvik. Connect ur phone (usb) and select toggle usb in menu, send the rom to ur sdcard (from computer) then install from sdcard then reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everything worked except for sending the rom to the SDcard, it gave me USB Brick error and it asked me to fix it, I accepted and it rebooted automatically, and since then it wont go into recovery anymore.
What have i tried to do to fix it :
• Erase recovery and re-flashed a new recovery with fastboot (both 4EXT recovery and clockwork recovery ), Still hangs on HTC screen when selecting Recovery
• Put PB99IMG.zip on SDCard , it says that no image or wrong image.
I've searched and tried it all , except for installing stock RUU , but ive read thats a last resort . So before trying that I thought I ask the people that helped me so much already.
Greets
Does ur phone boot up? If so download the 4ext recovery updater apk in my sig and try flashing recovery using the app. Thats what u should of done in the first place. PB99IMG is kinda last option
Sent from my HTC Desire
No, it doesnt have a Rom , that's because I erased everything , like the text above says . I got stuck when I wanted to send the Rom to the SDcard .
But now I got really stuck .
It won't load any PB99IMG , that means I won't be able to go back to the original RUU ... I can use fastboot. Is there a way to flash it through fastboot ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
I'm no expert, but did flash 4ext recovery from fastboot the other day... So Yes, that's possible
(edit: guess I misread your q. Dunno about flashing RUU through fastboot)
Ok... I am completely stuck...
I cant load any PB99IMG
What might be the reason that it wont recognize my PB99IMG?
Is there any way to flash things back to stock without using PB99IMG?
or Flash Hboot ?
Please anyone ...
ok... I want to go back to original RUU so i downloaded the PB99IMG_downgrade , but i cant downgrade it through PB99IMG.zip since it wont load...
Is flashing the Hboot.img inside of the PB99IMG_downgrade.zip through fastboot an option?( fastboot flash hboot c:\hboot.img )
or will I brick it even further?

Go to bootloader and:

Should I try to flash the Hboot image , so I can run orginal RUU , and then root it again ?
Yes you can do that, flash downgrader.img ( http://alpharev.nl/bravo_downgrade.img ) and run RUU.
You're stock hboot right?
My Hboot was HBoot 6.93.1002 , Revolutionary
and after the downgrader turned into alpharev 6.93.9999
Should I be able to run the RUU update now?
And do I have to be in bootloader while I execute the RUU, since thats my only option ?

Yes you should be able, and yes from bootloader.
Maybe u coulda tried another recovery.img first, like CWM, just to be sure.
Sent from my HTC Desire
Ive tried CWM and 4ext recovery both , downloaded it again , just to be sure it isnt corrupted, but still get the same issue.
Now I am going to try to install RUU , after the battery is charged over 50%
Thank you guys , for replying and helping me . I Hope that after the RUU install , I can go back to do the fun stuff again !
New problem....
I Tried to install the RUU
Everything looked fine , until it gave me bootloader version error ,its flashed everything except for the ROM.
and it booted in Hboot , and it showed :
Bravo UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT- 0.75.0000
MICROP 031D
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO 4.05.00.11
MAR 5 2010 21.12.15
I didnt have a clue what to do next, so i tried to run the newest RUU but gave me the same error (bootloader version is higher) untill I came across a topic on a other forum with someone with the same problem
later he said:
EVERYTHING SOLVED: I used a downgrade utility to restore the (broken) BootLoader and it also installed the stock HTC ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But the downgrade utility wont detect my device (is my USB DEBUGGING disabled? )
Can anyone help me , I REALLY dont know what to do!
I am in a loop of problems
I cant run RUU because my ROM image is 3.14.something , so I cant install an older version..
I cant flash Misc because of my S-ON status
I cant enter recovery...
So my questions are :
Is there a way to flash MISC to an older one so I can run RUU?
Is there a way to root it, without entering a ROM ( I know there is alpharev ISO , but it wont recognize my Desire...)
HELP?

I think you have a SLCD brick. You flashed the wrong rom for your screen, which is an Amoled.
Try booting in fastboot by holding down the volume down and power button, then wait 10 seconds. After that, connect your phone to your pc and see if it gets recognized. If yes, then install HTC Sync, and flash the exe version of the 2.3 RUU.

Is this a HTC One X or a HTC Desire?
Regardless which device is it, you need a unlocked bootloader to flash the recovery.
I recommend that you charge your phone till 100%
Than head over to htcdev.com and follow the instructions on unlocking the bootloader
Than flash the recovery image in fastboot using: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (or just drag the specific recovery into cmd)
Than transfer the rom that you want to use and flash it after doing a full wipe
Head back into bootloader and flash the boot.img (kernel) with; fastboot flash boot boot.img
Than reboot and voila!
It's a hox....you see the endevouru in the bootloader screen !
Use a ruu to go back to a working phone. Easy because you have an S-OFF device !
