Hboot and S-Off problems - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I've a problem that I want to download a room with sense UI and I've a desire GSM with Hboot 0.93 and the room needs stock Hboot, Also I found that I've a S-ON and tried a lot with a lot of solutions to make it off and I failed. I've tried alpharev.nl and revolutionary.io but with no outcome. So If you please tell me what should I do to make S-Off again as I was already made it Off and back to stock Hboot.
Thanks

Restore HTC Desire to stock

Hello all,
A friend of mine has rooted his HTC Desire by using the Mildwild ROM. Sometimes his phone is crashing with this ROM, so he wants to unroot his phone. Because I am such an awesome friend I offered to do this (actually he asked me, but whatever ). Right now I am stuck in the process of restoring his stock ROM.
The Bootloader gives me this information:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
Radio-4.05.00.11
Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18
So I need to restore the stock HBOOT. Therefore I download this file: http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_downgrade.zip. I change the name to 'PB99IMG.zip' and copy-paste it to the root of the SD card. When I try to flash the HBOOT in fastboot, this is what I get:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I don't know what is going wrong here, but obviously I'm doing something wrong. I hope you guys can help me find out what I need to do else.
Download the downgrader from alpharev website as the HBOOT is write protected and flash it from fastboot. Then download the htc 2.3 RUU from HTC dev and in fastboot connect to the pc and flash it back to stock

The file I downloaded was the downgrader, wasn't it? Or didn't you mean the HBOOT downgrader? I used this one: http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_downgrade.zip

Stop being a dumbass, not everyone is "expert" as you. If your phone does not boot, you just don't give a f*ck about the forum you're posting.
Come on, man! You're not funny.

Oh, I'm sorry mister "developer" if I hurt your altruistic feelings. My phone also doesn't boot sometimes but I tend to read the stickies and know what was the last thing I did.
Now that I remember, no wonder you give your approval to this since you did that too on occasion. Lol.

Gentlemen, I would like you to help me with this problem. I am sorry if I have posted this thread in the wrong (sub)forum, but I don't think that should be a reason for someone to not help me with this. I do know my fair share about computers, but phones are kind of new for me. Especially when it comes to (un)rooting them. So all your help would be very appreciated.
Did you changed PB99IMG_downgrade.zip. to PB99IMG.zip ?
And after you flash the hboot you cand install a ruu
thanks

Yes I did do that. This afternoon, by using another SD Card, I managed to downgrade the HBOOT. But which ROM do I need right now? I tried using the OTA (I do not have the link right now), but that doesn't work.

Rooting HTC Deisre does not work

I have then tried rooting my HTC Desire using SuperOneClick, Unlock Root and Unrevoked, but all of them have failed. It seems that they all try to install some drivers and fail and then cannot proceed. Does anybody have any ideas what I could try? Or maybe I can provide you with more info?

hi need some help

hi im new to the desire hd forums and im stuck on downgrading from gingerbread 2.3.5 sence 3.0 i dont no if its the updated 2.3.5 or came shipped with 2.3.5 i bought the hanset with that stock rom so ive created a gold card and yet i still cant downgrade with the pg98.img thing and i cant unlock bootloader root or anything with easyaccsesroottool any help would be great im normaly good with this stuff but ive hit a brickwall
Downgrading and gold cards are for AAHK (or for manual S-Off). AAHK is retired, so unless you want to S-Off manually, you should unlock your bootloader instead. What error messages did you get with the Easy Ace Root Tool (which is an unlock tool, not an S-Off tool)? What does your hboot say? Also, please use more understandable punctuation and capitalization. It makes it easier for us to understand, and therefore help, you.

2.0 is not an hboot version...it might be 2.00.0029 or 2.00.0027 but not 2.0. If your Build version is not supported at the moment, then you should create a goldcard and flash a ruu which build version is supported as stated in the OP of the tool.
Im on 2.0.0.0.27 so just a gold card and latest ruu?

Before you can get token, you must update the bootloader first.

I'm yet to read this method in dhd forums....
Here's a little trick I learned over in legend forum (thanks to blay0), from the downloaded exe file, run it, then find the Rom.zip file extracted to temp folder.
Rename Rom.zip to PD98IMG.ZIP put it in root of sd card, reboot to bootloader, should then want to update system just say yes.
This is the method I updated my dhd hboot. No need to go through all the nonsense that ruu does

Did you create a goldcard and update your bootloader like glevitan said? You can't unlock until you have a bootloader that supports unlocking.
i dont even no wich stock rom to use for the upgrade i no about goldcard but wich stock rom please help

Just use the latest unbranded one. If you have a goldcard you don't need to find your phone's specific one.

read the troubleshooting guide sticky at the top of q&a, it explains everything
Hmm, i already said all this to OP when he sent me a pm couple days ago. I give up..
the rom upgrade doesnt seem to install, it says its not meant to be flashed and may have to be done from bootloader??

Once again:
Read the troubleshooting guide sticky at the top of q&a, it explains everything. Yes it even covers your EXACT situation...
It turns out you're not the first person to try to run an RUU...
Guides like that have been made to specifically explain every single eventuality, so you don't have to open another thread explaining exactly the same thing. We are not here to copy paste the very same instructions. Please read and use it.
That file worked for me. U sure u even got stock hboot.
