I am Desperate with this HTC Desire

Hello guys !
First of all i want to say that I've tried EVERYTHING around to resolve the issue, but it seems that nothing is working. So long story short :
My friend bought used HTC Desire since i own DHD and he liked it alot but didnt have the money to buy DHD ,so the day he got it he tried to root it , He said that it was sucessfully and he instaleld some custom rom and went to bed,when he woke up in the morning his Desire Display was flashing with the boot animation(the ROM one) over and over again.He treid to install other ROM and the effect was the same,stuck at animation repeating over and over again.So He called me,i got to his house and tried to solve the issue but i didnt have luck there ,so i got the phone with me at my home. I started digging where the problem was...i was sure it was the rom ,tried to install 5-6 oter roms - no luck . Tried to flash with RUU- no luck ,kept getting " The main version is older" error . So i kept digging and tried to install the RUU throught H-boot by making PB99IMG.zip file,got the same error.Tried to use the update.zip solution - still no luck.Tried to change the recovery from clockwork to any other recovery ,but didnt have luck since i cant access the android and i am getting errors if i try to archive the file to update.zip.
So i need some help if its possible,sorry for my english and if the info that i provided is not that good ask me whatever u like.
also in The H-boot menu it says :
BRAVO PVt4 Ship S-ON
H-Boot-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.14
from what i got by reading is that i cant s-off cuz of the bravo pvt4 ..

Did you wipe data after flashing?

Full wipe + wipe from the advanced menu !

Lol, read thru the OP and same thing going over and over in my head "Did you wipe? Did you wipe? Did you wipe?"
When you start out with "I've tried EVERYTHING", make sure you actually did try everything, because it's pretty obvious you didn't.

Did it also display flash bootanimation over and over again after Ruu?

You have to wipe BEFORE flashing, not after.
Some Roms store important parts on /data, which will be erased during the wipe.

This is true lol. If you install then wipe you prob won't be able to get further than the boot screen.

Take it your mate didn't take a nandroid back-up before trying to flash, so he could restore it in case any issues occurred? Have you done full wipe then tried flash ROM from recovery then? Does the ROM need an ext partition - will boot loop if one doesn't exist.
Depending on the HBOOT version, using alpharev or revolutionary will S-OFF PVT4s - but this isn't the solution to your current problem unless you're trying roms that need non-stock hboots, in which case try something that doesn't first. S-OFF via AlphaRev also best done with rooted stock ROM, some custom sense ROMs also seem to work (don't know about revolutionary as i took alpharev route) - but get custom ROM running first before thinking about doing anything else.

Just saw your post. Too bad it's too late. Anyways the situation was kinda funny: So the HTC kept booting untill the "rom logo" (You know the logo after the HTC one), tried to install other ROM's (Full wipe before ofcourse) and it didn't work ofcourse, so I kept digging and i saw some threats where people were saying that clockwordrecovery wasn't working with my version h-boot, ah and trying installing RUU didnt work too(also trying to install PB99IMG.zip from sdcard didnt work too) ,was always getting "The main version is older" error! So we flashed AlphaRev, and finally the phone was S-Offed, after this i got my DHD's sd card since it was a gold card and i put it into the Desire , i had a PB99IMG.zip file from the previous day on it! So i started the bootloader, it detected the PB99IMG.zip file and I didn't get the "Main Verison is older" error, it asked if the file should be updated and i pressed "yes" and the phone gone off...guess what it was compleatly bricked,only vibrating and the screen didn't work....we were like OMG WTF ...so we installed SDK tools and started looking for adb commands/guides ...after 4 hours we were on about to quit and suicide ourselves cuz we didnt get anything and it was getting late...i was like " duh,lets blind try the PB99IMG.zip method again and rest till tomorrow" ,i downloaded the newest PB99IMG.zip from shipped-roms.com ,got it on my sd card and got the sd card back in the desire . Pressed Power + vol down,waited 2 mins and pressed vol up again,waited like 10 more mins,nothing happaned...we got all emo and mad ,2 more friends of us came to my mate's flat ( they are not into phones or anything ,complete noobs),one of them got the phone took of the baterry and the sdcard ,put the baterry back,pressed Power ON button and the phone ****ing started ....we all were like WOOOOOOOOT OMG OMG ,it was like magic xD ...so its fixed now and it has the stock rom and its unrooted...

[Q] noob help on flashing rom (stuck in boot)

Hi and thanks for all the useful posts. I am stuck as I have flashed a rom and kernal and now I am stuck in boot reseting
My information is
unlocked
Primoc PVT Ship S-on Rl
hboot- 1.53.0000
radio 1.00.00.0928
I am trying to flash JMZONE v4 and using JMZ-primoC-kernal -jb 20120820 as well as trying JMZ-primoc-kernal ICS 20120820
I factory reset, wipe cache, wipe davlik
install from zip hold power and volume down to flash rom using fastboot...but it loads to the HTC dev screen and then reboots over and over
I also tried to use RUU to reset, but it would not let me as the battery is under 30% due to the phone not turning off and leaving it on the charger all night does not help as it just reboots over and over
Can anyone provide some much appreciated guidance as I just bought this phone for my wife on VM and she is not too happy. I am happy with any working rom at this point
Thank you in advance

I had, but it looks like it is overwritten now. I also tried to recover it and it says md5 mismatch. I created a new one in totalcommander, but it did not work"unfortunately

Please help fast! :\

Basically, I was going to sell my HTC Wildfire S, so I decided to flash a Sense ROM that looked like the Stock ROM (KimmsMod Supreme) so that the person who buys it will have the "HTC" features.
I wiped data/factory reset, wiped the cache partition, wiped the battery stats and dalvik cache and then installed it through Clockwork Recovery.
However, once I done this I got stuck on the white HTC Logo.
So I tried to install another ROM, another ROM, another ROM...still stuck on the white HTC Logo!
So then I relocked my bootloader and unlocked it again. I then tried to flash the stock ROM by renaming it to PG76IMG.zip and that STILL didn't work.
I then tried to install Clockwork Recovery Mod but I nothing happened/I got "CID Incorrect!" error.
All I want is to restore this HTC Wildfire S to the stock ROM, to make it like it's new so I can sell it. (Buying a new WFS later)
I would appreciate any help I receive, preferably before tuesday. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks!
By the way this is the GSM version, the Radio says 7.54.39.28M
HBOOT 1.09.0099

mostly people having the same problem.. even me too... hehe... I ran into this kind of problem two weeks ago.. But I didnt did anything, it solved automatically... If you have a backup of stock or sense kinda roms.. restore it.. It surely will work... cuz it worked for me.. It stucks on HTC logo only when I tried to flash a new rom... so better try your luck...

I like this guy selling stuff but saying its something else. The buyer will find out that its rooted.

[Q] cant install new roms on htc desire

hi i rooted my htc desire about one year ago and i installed a MUI Rom and since then i have not added another rom.
now i am trying to install the new roms cool droid and other but im having problems. i install the rom and it says it has been successful but when i reboot the htc it stays stuck at the htc logo forever. how long should it take. i know a new roms takes about 5-10 mins to start up but it shouldn't take upto an 1hr to start.
i would appreciate some help. thanks, adal316

Did you full wipe before flashing a rom? Did you flash sd-ext dependent roms without having an ext partition?

hi friend. thanks for your reply and help. much appreciated.
ive done the full wipe. but i did not do this '' flash sd-ext dependent roms without having an ext partition? ''
how would i go about do this

You can partition your SD card from Recovery (depends on what type of recovery you use though)
Are you also sure you are using the right hboot?

im using clockworkMod recovery v5.0.2.0
im sorry about this but what do you mean using the right Hboot. its been a very long time since i last installed a ROM and ive forgot quite a bit so really would appreciate your help here.

Hello.
Try to tell us more information, which roms are you trying to install? Besides cool droid. Try to be more specific.
You said, you did a full wipe. That means factory reset + wiping data+wiping dalvik. Correct?
About the HBOOT thing. Try to boot into bootloader(volume down + power button), you can see the HBOOT number and version there.

Im no expert on rooting, but in the recent days ive reflashed lots of differerent roms. many roms did not boot, most likely reason was wrong rom for my phone. (i needed room for HTC Desire "Bravo")
i might be wrong, but it seemed to me that the different roms needs different recovery.
with my current setup im able to run cm but not miui. i was able to boot that one with another recovery that did not work with cyanogenmod.
i currently using CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.5.
--Revolutionary-
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-off
Hboot-6.93.1002
Radio-5.11.05.27
recovery:
CWR v5.8.0.2
hope this helps getting you a working rom.

when i go into bootloader this is what shows up
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
im trying to install sense 4.0 4.1 ROMS. yes when im doing the full wipe im wiping the cache partition and data factory reset then i am installing the new ROM. ROM get successfully installed but when htc desire reboots it stays stuck on the htc logo. please help

That happened to me when using stock hboot, but when i used cm7r2, the rom booted fine. Don't know why.

That's right, try flashing cm7r2 hboot,as abaaaabbbb63 said and I suppose it should be working fine.
Btw. My recommendation is.
Don't bother flashing 4.x.x ROMs for Desire. I don't think any of them are as good (I mean, smooth, without bugs, etc.) as the GB roms. Desire is now an "old" phone, you don't really need 4.x.x, instead of that, try flashing for example MildWild roms, (the one in my signature for example). You can get very nice performance, and a little 4.x.x look, which is probably why you're experimenting with 4.x.x ROMS

hey I had the same problem with my galaxy note then i formatted the SD .Then the problem was solved.

Ok

Like somebody sayed, for parandroid cm7r2 HBOOT is required.
So go to alpharev.nl download cm7r2- flash it trought Android Flasher.
Go to Recovery--full wipe--Flash ROM.
first boot need 10-15 min

Parandroid?
U mean paranoidandroid? If so that requires stock hboot. The rom they talking bout is cool droid. And if its the CoolDroid Revolution they talking bout then i wouldnt even bother flashing it, its bad, no offence to the dev but its slow, laggy, full of bugs. If its the old CoolDroid by coolexe then that rom is great all round.

Right

Yes man i didnt read well.
You are right, i will recommend you to full/wipe/ Format microSd-->Again Full/wipe--->Clear/Cache+Dalvik and then flash rom.
OFC Flash stock hboot before all this. :laugh:

[Q] [HOX] Upgrading from ARHD 6.1.0 to newest

Hi all,
one of my friends has a One X. Actually hes running ARHD 6.1.0 but now he gets some force closes of barely any app. I suggested him to update to a newer version, unfortunately he doesn´t know how and i never modded a htc phone so i dont know how to proceed - i did it on samsung phones/tablets so i know the basics.
OK now to my question. As far as i understood this Rom is not using CWM recovery am i right? Since the phone is already rooted how do i have to proceed to updating/flashing an updated version of ARHD?
I can´t find any tutorial on their site

Download rom
Put in sd card in phone
Flash rom in recovery full wipe
As one x doesn't have s off need to boot into fastboot and flash boot.img from rom
Ensure you clear cache in fastboot
That's the basics there are plenty of more thorough guides though
