Hi,
I was trying to root my phone with the guide that is on this forum, but then when i restarted my phone, it was stuck on the white "HTC" boot screen. Then i tried to do a "Factory Reset" in hboot and rebooted, and still stuck on the boot screen. I tried to put a PD98IMG.zip as it was prompted in hboot as "no image or wrong file", so i loaded PD98IMG.zip onto my SD card, and still not working. any suggestions ?
my phone is S-ON.
I guess your phone is branded ? If that's the case, you need to follow the tutorial for a goldcard.
Also, if your rom is 1.7x or 1.8x, you can't root it. You have to follow the downgrade tutorial 1st
Mine took 30 mins to boot once. You could try the ruu look in dev section, you just flash it from Windows, then start again. Was your she branded?

I was in the same situation, downgraded ROM and clockwork mod and did a restore and it works fine now
@Howling Wolf - I cannot get the CID for the SD card, because
in the 'adb shell' command, my command prompt says "error: device not found". But i want to know, can i still get the CID through another HTC desire phone ? and can i still update a stock rom with S-ON ? and how do i know if my phone is branded ?
I got my phone from Taiwan, a friend brought it over for me, and when i last checked it was on software version 1.37.921.1 .
@turbo_d - ill try that thnx
did you try installing the htc sync software then do adb devices
ye i did, i installed HTC sync to get the HTC drivers, but from what i noticed is that your phone needs to be "running" instead of being stuck on the white HTC boot screen or even the hboot doesnt pick up the device aswell >.<

Try going into bootloader, and then run adb from pc..
@SAPPH1RE - i tried that but thanks for the help !
ok i acquired my CID through linux, but now its telling me
main version is older !
update fail.
any suggiestions ? my current software version of the phone is 1.37, which stock RUU should i be using ?
If you are on 1.37 you should be fine to continue with getting s-off and such. You don't need to upgrade or downgrade your ROM until you achieve s-off. And then you should upgrade to a custom ROM such as LeeDroid.

did you get it working ?
I fixed mine a few weeks back by doing a full wipe and then loading a fresh ROM
Thing is, i cant get my phone to start up, so i need to flash a stock rom, so that i can get my phone started and then do S-OFF. But it keeps telling me "Main Version is older!"
ive tried 2 roms already, 1.32 and 1.72 RUU. What could be the problem ?
thnx problem solved, the gold card wasnt done properly, so i re did everything.
thnx for the help guys !

@paulcoop007 i have same problem with you, same version with your phone and S-ON. and my phone at black screen with htc. how can i fix it. can you explain how did you fix your phone?
Hi
I´m in trouble with my Desire and need professional help.
It´s a (was a?) 093.0001 with root and s-off
I´ve installed Leedroid V3.07 (Gingerbread) incl. Custom HBoot for data++ and the Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08
I´ve tried to flash it back to original by using the orig. 2.2 Stock Rom from HTC. As far as I know should this be enough to bring it back to original.
Now there is the following problem:
The update breaks with the message, I´ve got to use an other RUU. The phone hangs with a black screen and triangles in it.
I can not start it in BL mode. It hangs with a partition failure.
Is this a fullbrick or is there a way to fix it? Does the radio make this problems? How can i create a higher radio number to overflash it?
What woulda real specialist do now?
Thanks for help...

Hi Patrick,
This happens usually with branded phones. In this thread you'll have to find the appropriate RUU, the RUU designed for your phone's original carrier. Did you make a goldcard ?
No, I did not make a goldcard.
I thought, Goldcard is not longer needed, so I dind´t make one...
But I´m a step closer (or did I make a sep back?)
I had acces via fastboot and tried to flash an other stock ROM via fastbootcommander...
Now I have the old HBOOT 0.93.0001 and my old radio. I´n not root anymore, and s-on is now printed in the display - but the flash stops with an partition failure again...
Is the partition failure the point to search for branded roms?

Do you have any idea if your phone is branded ?
No, I have no idea... bevore I start rooting i did not have seen any signs for a branding.
Mostly the desire shows an own startlogo from the carrier, isn´t it?
My problem is, the update is starting, but it aborts at ~50% with this failure...
All other updates won´t start, just this one RUU goes up to 50 percent...

Have you installed HTC Sync and drivers ?

You need HTC Sync. Start your phone in fastboot (back button + power), connect you phone and run RUU.
I´ve tried it a serval times, as admin, without admin rights, various combinations of rights and versions and have everytime the same problem...
I cann not see the phone starting in fastboot, even if I try to boot, the phone hangs with this black pic...
If I disconnect the cable from the phone I see the white page, but the last Entry is ruu, nothing more... there is nothing I can navigate to.

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921398&highlight=create+goldcard
Hey [email protected] . . 1st check if your pc is recognising your phone.
Connect to pc and check in device manager what is it showing.. should be adb or bootloader interface.. if not try to install adb driver...
than once its done.
try to run this RUU
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
basically error 131 is for CID.. so you will require a goldcard for that.. just try your luck .. remove both memory card and simcard.. and run the RUU..
Let us know the results
Allright everybody - It works! Feels like birthday @ christmas together, including a final blowjob and a cold beer togeter
What did I do? I´ve created a new goldcard on a second desire, used this card and started the final RUU again - That was all... Little think, big Impression
I thought all the time, the goldcard was specific for the telephone, but it was specially for the memory card.
Thanks a lot for all of your help! I know, there were many help for this stupid guy
But you all have saved the live of my desire... Thanks

Don't forget your glodcard. Keep it safe.
I rooted my phone 6 months ago and 1 month ago it started restarting out of a sudden. Another problem was that it did not turn on the first time, so i had to get the battery out and try again to turn on the phone. When i saw that i decided to upgrade with the official Gingerbread Rom for the Desire. Now the problems started getting more and more serious. My phone remains stuck in the htc logo screen...it does not go into recovery and when i tried installing the initial ruu, to try to take it back to warranty it said that the bootloader version is not good. Any ideas how to solve this problem? I would really appreciate some help...
Maybe providing some info, like bootloader information, phone information....
Current Hboot is 1.02.0001, radio 5.17.05.23 and i wish to install RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed. I have tried to install the ROM by puting the rom file from the ruu on the memory card and renaming it as PB99IMG.zip. Once i turn on the phone in hboot, it loads the image and after 3 minutes is says "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". I have also tried to install the ruu by connecting it to the computer and booting the phone in fastboot. It said the current image version is 3.14.405.1 and the version I will install will be 2.14.207.1. After about 5 minutes in the install process it gets stuck in "Updating Signature" and after that the process stops and the following message is shown:
"ERROR[140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."
I am currently quite desperate..
Your HBOOT is newer than the one you want to flash.
You nned to downgrade it, which means you have to S-Off your device with revolutionary.io AFAIK.
Then flash one of the HBOOTs from alpharev.nl (downgrader) - then you can flash the RUU.

You need to be running fastboot in the CMD.exe...
You need to follow the guide for ADB first, then you can use fastboot to flash a new image!

Yes, I had s-off with alpharev. The problem started with boot loop on alpharev screen. I flashed amoled RUU by mistake and had slcd brick.
Now I have installed the correct RUU but still either get stuck on boot loop or on HTC screen. Wonder if the system partitions are screwed up or if they can be restored without adb or s-off.
i did not manage to do anything. all i want to do is to put back the initial ruu so i can take the phone back to warranty. But i don't know how to downgrade hboot.
can anyone please tell me how can i downgrade my hboot? The biggest problem is that i cannot enable usb debugging because my phone is stuck with the bootloop.

Boot into Fastboot and then run RUU. Setup should see it.
I managed to reinstall the official Android 2.3 RUU but the problem is that i want to install the RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed RUU. From what i have been told, i firstly have to downgrade hboot. Can anyone give me some detailed steps of how to do this?
If I were you, I'd S-OFF with revolutionary, flash recovery and flash a ROM.. when you're S-OFF, there is a way to downgrade... I just haven't got time to search now sorry
That's from my understanding that you re-did the 2.3 RUU and your phone now works.. right?
Unfortunately the phone doesn't start now either
but did it work before? have you tried leaving it for about half an hour and tried turning it on again? (I've seen faults like that). If not try the RUU again, then S-OFF - which makes life SOOOOOOO much easier
First off I've browsed the forums and cannot find an answer to my question. I know there are similar posts but not entirely answering my question.
Originally my HTC desire was running on official firmware on orange UK. Then I decided to root. I installed LeeDroid and then recently switched to MIUI. All I want to know is if I can revert back to how it originally was when I first got the phone. I cannot find anywhere an orange UK ruu. Is there a different one I can safely use and how do I do it?
All I want is all the rooting stuff removed not necessarily meaning I want all of the orange branding and everything back how it was
I want to know this because soon I am selling my phone and want it to be pretty much how it should be.
I am getting the phone unlocked to work on any network as the recipient of the phone is using a different network hence me not being bothered about the orange branding
Any help would be absolutely brill.
Thanks in advance
Well If you want the Orange Branded stuff back, then you need an Orange Official RUU. But I can't help you where to find it.
The HTCdev.com 2.3.3 RUU still comes with warranty so flash that to unroot. There are no Orange RUU's
Do i just flash as i would a custom rom hence going into recovery and 'install zip from SD card'? Is it really that simple? Does that completely make it like it was never rooted?
No its an .exe you run from windows. Connectng the phone via USB. If you are not s-off with a hboot version of 6.x, it re-writes everything. if you HAVE got the custom hboot, you need to flash the alpharev downgare.img hboot first.
Thank you, I will try this in the afternoon, if I fail be expecting to hear back from me cheers again mate
I am currently running AlphaRev

HBOOT-6.93.1002

However, when I try to enter recovery, I get a black screen with a picture of a phone with a red cross over it.
I am trying to revert to the stock bootloader to cure the recovery problem as I have already tried re-flashing CM7 but still get the same problem.
I tried to flash downgrade.img followed by the stock.img using Android Flasher but I can't get it to work.
Any suggestions?
You just need to fastboot flash the recovery.img
Have a read of my adb and fastboot faq in my signature. You dont need to read the adb stuff as it is not relevant

Awesome!
Android Flasher kept becoming non-responsive so I followed your instructions to flash via CMD. Now got CWM installed and working
cool. I prefer command line over the GUI myself anyway. Its more resiliant / less to go wrong.
To get rid of root simply install the latest, official RUU which can be found in the Dev Forums

I'm dead confused. If i'm honest I don't really understand what you have told me to do. ATM my Desire is running the MIUI rom (Latest version).

MICROP-031d

As stated before all I want to do is remove the 'rooted' stuff and put an offical version of android on (preferably the latest version - if not, doesn't matter) I really don't understand the steps to undertake to enable this to happen?
I tried downloading and installing 'HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade' from the website you gave to me but had no success. the program just keeps saying connection error. I've tried everything but can only get the phone to connect to my PC in data storage mode?? seems to be a common problem with the MIUI rom.
If somebody could please help me step by step I will be so grateful. Getting kinda desperate now. Cheers

Have you tried this method?
This is a pretty good step-by-step guide to installing the HTC standard 2.3.3 Click me.
You can download the RUU for this here: Click me. It is the download at the top of the page.
Simply put your phone into fastboot (power on whilst holding the "back" button), plug your phone in, run the RUU programme and done!
Hope that helps.

You don't need htc sync. All you need is your phone, a pc, a usb cable and the RUU.
Fastboot. USB. RUU. 3 steps you need.
If that doesn't work download fastboot drivers.

Ohh if you're returning for warranty then this changes things slightly.
If the phone was branded i.e. you got it on contract with a network, you need to use the RUU for that network. (except for orange)
If the phone was unbranded i.e. bought from a store such as amazon.com then you're okay.
If you're unsure, you can use the official 2.3 RUU, which will definitely cover your warranty.
If you're not returning for warranty purposes - don't worry about it.
