[q] bootloader version error...

So, I'm trying to debrand myu Desire, using an RUU file. My ROM is 1.24.161.3 and HBOOT 0.80. I have a branded Vodafone Desire, that recently got a pointless update (not Froyo!!).
For the past couple of days I've been trying to debrand, already done the gold card and am ready for the next step, however, whenevery I run the RUU file it says that there is a USB connection error, run the RUU file again and it works till it is "Updating Signature", then it stops, with a "BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
My theory on this is because my ROM is 1.24.161.3 and every other RUU file I've used has a lower ROM number.
Am I right, or is there something I am doing wrong?

Are you using the right hoot root method?

[Q] OTA 2.29.405.2 and rooted with unrevoked - bricked *help*

Hi guys,
Got an OTA message and installed without thinking twice *my bad*
I have stock froyo, rooted with unrevoked. Now the OTA failed (signature verification), I had this issue in the past with the Froyo OTA and the solution then was to disable the signature verification so I did this again.
Install worked but now the phone just shows the "htc" startup screen over and over again (is this a bootloop?)
When I try to boot into recovery I just get a red triangle and an exclamation mark and that's it so I am guessing it's bricked
Anybody any ideas?
Thanks!
B

I would suggest the easiest thing to do is download the 2.29.405.2 RUU from shipped roms and run that.
You will then be unrooted.
You can then check for updates again or root.
Be aware tho, that this will wipe your phone.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the feedback
"I would suggest the easiest thing to do is download the 2.29.405.2 RUU from shipped roms and run that."
can you get me started here... no idea where to start
I did manage to get into the android system recovery, but when I run the update.zip I get a "signature verification failed"
Would it be an option to rename my OTA Froyo zip to "update.zip"?
Cheers
B

Yep, you could try that...
You can find the RUU for your current rom here - http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
If you flash the RUU, boot your phone into fastboot (power + back), connect to PC, wait till it says fastboot usb the run the RUU.

thx!
I just run the exe file then?
extra question: Is this the UK version? I'm from Belgium so I would like to get my languages back...
Cheers
B

Yep, just run the exe file.
The ROM is a WWE which is a European version so should have the languages.
Have you always been on the 2.29.405.2 rom? Or is this different to the original rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

ok I see the fastboot USB appearing but the RUU says "usb connection error" grrr
should I select something from the menu? bootloader or something?
Cheers
B

I don't think you have to select anything once in fastboot.
What version of Windows are you running? Can you try running the exe as administrator?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I'm running XP and I am administrator... maybe something to do with drivers?
cheers
B

You could try installing htcsync if you don't have it already...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Hi Mike,
Installed HTC Sync which installed some drivers... Now I get "HBOOT USB PLUG" instead of "HBOOT USB"
RUU gives same error
I'm gonna get a sd-to-micro-sd adapter tomorrow and try the update.zip thing
Thanks already for the help!!
Cheers
B

Ok, let us know how you get on.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

FYI
I push/pulled the battery and I got back the "fastboot USB" and now the RUU goes a bit further... he sees my image version (2.29.405.2), I select "update" and I can upgrade to the same version... then RUU says waiting for bootloader, the phone goes black with white HTC logo and after about 20 seconds I get again the USB connection error
cheers
B

Have you tried turning off any anti virus software you have on your pc?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

just found out that I can't do that, I have no rights to disable virusscan (work-pc) I'll try the update.zip
come to think about it, I think I've deleted the downloaded froyo OTA zip file to make room on my sd card, do you know where I can download it?
Cheers mate!
B

Not too sure which update you received but, if you download this...
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
And rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card and reboot your phone into recovery (power + vol down). The file will get picked up and the 2.29.405.2 rom should be installed after following any prompts.
You'll be in the same position as running the RUU but obviously, you need access to your SD card.
HTH

thanks!! will go for it tomorrow... fingers crossed!
B

Was about to say the PB99IMG method is a lot easier than mucking around with the PC not seeing the phone...it should work but remember if you were branded before you will need a gold card

Yep, thanks Eddy.
If you were not on the unbranded rom originally, you will need a goldcard.
Cheers for confirming my suggestions
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

ok downloaded the file, renamed it and put it in the root of my sd
When I press volume down + power I arrive in the HBOOT menu.
After a short while I get following output
loading PB99DIAG.ZIP
no image
loading PB99DIAG.nbh
no image or wrong image
loading PB99IMG.zip
checking PB99IMG.zip
Then I get the question if I want to start update... Off course I selected yes
After the upgrade I got a prompt to reboot and after the reboot I was again in the out-of-the-box status!
Mike thank you very very very much for your help and patience! People like you are the reason this forum is so great!
Cheers!

[Q] Un-rooting with 0.93 hboot

Hi to all bros,
I have hboot 0.93 and rooted using un-revoked. Now there's something wrong with the hardware and need to send it for servicing, so i need to un-root it. i tried using the ruu but to no success because of the hboot version i guess. Any idea?
thanks in advance.

Pretty sure you have to use the goldcard method, as your hboot version is newer than the one you are flashing.

so what do i do with the gold card ?

Your insert your gold card in your phone and you launch the Ruu from your computer, it will be a success

Hi I have the same problem. im using 0.93 locked to t-mobile, I tried the goldcard on the only Ruu that matched which was non of the t-mobile ones and it failed customer ID error, I have also tried the downgrade method and it failed on CID check I have redone the goldcard several times and still no joy.
currently I have reloaded the t-mobile Rom recovery file from clockworkmod I backed it up on root before I flashed a custom rom and bellow is the version numbers im using atm.
hboot 0.93
Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Software 2.12.110.4
I also loaded stock Rom 2.2 with the latest software 2.29.405.2 and .5 using the same baseband and both errored out Im only a novice at this and Ive prob spent a day in total and a load of dead end results on forums, pulling my hair out on this as I dont understand some of the terminolgy at best of times and all I get is "like the above" yeah it will work doing this. I have tried everything and nothing works ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

Just download and install the newest OTA-Update by T-Mobile. After this procedure your phone should be un-rooted.

Just tried that and it says signature check fail. so that didnt work either.

I tried installing the RUU with gold card but still getting this error:
Error 131: Customer ID Error
Maybe im using the wrong RUU? any idea? i using RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe

Yes, this error means, your are using the wrong RUU. You really have to use a RUU from T-Mobile, your software-number (2.12.110.4) clearly shows this. So in your RUU name has to be the combination "TMO_UK". And do not forget to compare the radioversion.

I did the exactly that ^^^ after finally getting the goldcard to work, it loaded through the whole process of loading the T-mobile uk ruu and now my phone is buggered I get a blank screen it vibrates on and the keys light up. now its flashed the whole thing, its wiped my recovery so I cant even enter blind and reload previous Rom.
I dont think I can fix this as Unrevolked wont work as phone is stuck in usb charge mode. Ive have no idea how to fix this as it seems very few people have 0.93 hboot with blank screen issue as well as getting 130 or 140 errors on every ruu exept the t-mobile ones that buggered my phone in the first place. All ive returned on a fix is load anouther exe ruu and reflash but I cant because it errors 130 cid on all of them.
plz help I have no idea what to do.

Get a more compatible RUU from
Here:

or here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING PROPER RUU... GSM FOR GSM PHONE CDMA FOR CDMA PHONE
run the ruu but do not continue and do not close...
go to temp folder where files extracted and copy or move rom.zip to desktop
(tmp folder varies for windows operating system.. windows xp C:\documents and setting\(user folder)\local settings\tmp\(folder with letters and numbers.. just look in them) )
rename rom.zip PB99IMG.zip and move to root of sd card
boot into hboot;(With power off hold down volume button and press power; do not release volume down untill screen lights up).. wait for parsing file then press volume up to confirm install files.
it will reboot and continue do not pull battery!!

[Solved] RUU failure, boots to HTC logo but can be fastbooted. What next?

Hello all,
I am sorry for starting yet another failed RUU thread but I am struggling to find any solution on this. I am relatively capable having rooted, s-off, updated radios etc on my Desire HD. This one is above my level though...
I have tried to root the Desire using Unrevoked 3.32 but it kept failing. I decided to try a 'simple' RUU flash - no worries there, I thought. I cannot remember the original software or baseband numbers now. I have feeling that the radio was not identical on the RUU, as I could not find one on 'shipped roms' but I got one as close as possible (for O2 UK - there is a choice of two. One has radio 5.09.05.30 and one is 4.06.00.02. I went for the 5.* as the one I had was also 5.* but I think it may have been slightly different). The RUU got nearly to the end of the system section (90%) when it failed and gave an Error 110 (possibly corrupted data in the RUU).
Now when I reboot, I get a grey HTC in the centre with a /!\ in each corner. I was worried it was bricked, however, I can fastboot into the OS and use the phone normally. It just won't restart properly as it then goes back to the grey HTC /!\ situation. That seems to me that everything is working ok, I just have a software conflict somewhere... would that be a correct assumption? Either way, I am stumped as to what to do next, so advice would be really appreciated!!
(As it's my girlfriends phone, I could be in trouble here!! )
Thanks!!

Ok boot your phone and create a goldcard.
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
If you have trouble setting ADB... Goto market and search for app called goldcard helper... it will give you the reverse CID and you can follow from step 7 from above guide.
After creating a goldcard.. flash below RUU
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe

The exact same thing happened to me when I decided to go back to stock a couple weeks ago. I just re downloaded the RUU from shipped roms and tried again and it was fine. I had to manually download and install the new market though once I'd set up as it wouldn't update itself

Latest o2 UK RUU is this one (better link than shipped-roms):
http://www.multiupload.com/7YMY6RLCKY

Thanks for the quick replies guys!
jhonybravo4u - I'll try out some new RUU files before I give the GoldCard option a go. If I need to go that way, I'll let you know how I get on.
liberator72 - I did try redownloading once. The error does say that the RUU may be corrupted so that is a possibility. I'll try a few more times.

Cheers EddyOS. Hopefully they will be more stable hosts and I'll get a better download. I'll keep you posted!

The phone has gone to the RUU HBOOT page this time and shows that it failed on the:
[7] SYSTEM - Fail-PU
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then tells me that 'Partition Update fail!'
The RUU program then gives me an option to go into recovery mode. I can go through this but unfortunately it seems to be a dead end.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Oh dear.... now the 'fastboot oem boot' just sits in the command prompt saying <waiting for device>.
This looks ominous....
Edit (2): The 'fastboot oem boot' has just worked again... Thank goodness!!

When you download the above RUU .. please check the MD5 Hash

And I suggest to create goldcard before doing anything.. as that will get you out of any trouble.
As it seems your phone is branded.. and you wont be able to flash any other RUU

Thanks jhonybravo4u, I am just going via your proposed method. GoldCard is created and I am just flashing - or trying to - the RUU that you suggest.
Edit:
johnybravo4u, Sir, you are a legend! I'm in and recovered. Thank goodness!! If ever I pass Kuwait, I shall buy you a beer...
Now, to finish the rooting process...

Anytime Buddy....and for beer I may have to come to UK rather.. as in Kuwait thats not allowed ;-)

[Q] HTC Desire boot problem

Ok, before you guys all start flaming, I read all the topics on Desire boot problems.
A friend of mine has a Desire which suddely rebooted and came into a bootloop. Sometimes it even got till the unlock screen, but most of the times it rebooted in the HTC Quitely brilliant screen.
Now ive tried to "fix" this:
I first tried to install the latest RUU:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
It gave either connection error [170], or went into bootloader and gave another error (signature error)
next option was to extract rom.zip from the RUU from the %TEMP% folder, rename this PB99IMG.zip (3x checked that it wasnt zip.zip was), put this on my goldcard (http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/). after that boot into bootloader and let it flash.
This flash gave no errors/fail, after that rebooted my phone. Than there is a green circular arrow logo with the middle arrow pointing down.. After that the phone reboots one last time (without vibrating) and is stuck at the HTC logo.
Also tried recovery factory reset.. to no avail
About the phone:
HTC Desire
HBoot 0.93.00001
S-ON
Not rooted

as much as I hate advising to use that particular RUU it MAY help you.. or just make it worse..
since you have a goldcard try other RUU's maybe

Dont think I can use any other RUU's because it might be an SLCD desire, which means any RUU lower than 2.xx will brick the screen..
BTW Ive tried the gingerbread RUU, one time it went flashing but stayed like that for 1,5 hour... pulled the plug...
Most of the times it gives a verification error..

I suggest u S-OFF/root ur Desire and install a custom ROM.
