Returning to Stock Help Needed

Hi All,
Returning missus Desire back to stock and have searched and found many guides..
following through, I'm basically installing the following RUU from .EXE file:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe
The phone was previously on Orange and I understand there is no RUU for this.
Upon installing this EXE...it gets to the area about checking the phone and intialising and all I get everytime is an Error 170 USB Connection Error. It can't seem to see the phone.
I am on XP and have tried the phone booted in to its current ROM (ICS) and also under FASTBOOT USB but neither makes any difference...
Any ideas?
Many thanks...
Rich

You're missing proper drivers on your PC. Try to download and install htc sync or driver package from htc dev site and then to reconnect phone.

That's not recovery, that's bootloader. Below that you have meny loking smth like this:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
ERASE STORAGE...
You can use volume up and down buttons to navigate, highlight recovery and then press power to enter recovery.
If you wanna install stock, reboot your phone and let RUU running. My recomendation is to use 2.3 RUU since it's made for all versions of desire no matter of carrier. You can find it on htc dev site.

Well I have put back the stock HBOOT....
installed a RUU which now just gives me a white HTC screen and goes no further....
I downloaded the 2.3.3 correct RUU but it won't see my device and HTC sync won't install the drivers.
Any ideas folks?

Oh my BOOTLOADER now says this:
ALPHAREV
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
Radio 4.05.00.11

And also...within Device Manager my phone is being picked up as Android Bootloader Interface

Ok, this is the trick, your hboot has write protection and ruu can't overwrite radio. From your bootloader I can see you have old radio which won't work with 2.3 RUU. Of course RUU should overwrite the radio during install but it's not posible because of protected hboot...
You have to download downgrade hboot from alpharev site, flash it and you will have unlocked hboot. After that run RUU from PC and it will overwrite both radio and hboot.
But, you will lose s-off and root, so revolutionary again :-D
And don't worry about what's written in device manager, it's normal.

Thanks Nloo for taking an interest...
|I have already flashed Bravo Stock off the Alpharev site .... you can see in my post a change in the HBOOT information from Revolutionary to ALPHArev.....
If I try using the RUU it just says it can't find the Phone again.....USB error 170....
Any more help would be appreciated please...bricked phone!!

You actually don't want to read carefully, not stock bravo but DOWNGRADE that's the right one. After flashing you'll have this on top in bootloader:
ALPHAREV UNLOCK
not just alpharev.
Then after flashing reboot to bootloader not fastboot and then run RUU.
If RUU won't work you can try with rom.zip on sd card but that's a different story.

stuck in bootscreen

Hey there,
i actually own a Htc sensation, but my cousin wanted to s off and root his desire, which went all fine.
Now after a year, he wanted to send in his Desireto maintenance, and asked me to to return everything to stock. According to the guides, it was said that is would be sufficient to simply flash a stock ruu to S-on und unroot again.
I flashed the stock ruu via pc, and followed all the instructions. It says flash successful and i can use the desire again.
There goes the trouble, the phone wont boot up anymore only white boot screen with htc logo, no bootloop or anything similiar, all i can access is the bootloader ?
Am i missing something ? can someone help me out please ?
The bootloader says the following :
REVOLUTIONARY
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL SYNT0101
RADIO 4.05.00.11
This is was it given after flashing the officiall ruu , recovery cant be started anymore as well
any help would be appreciated

First you need to flash downgrade hboot from:
www.alpharev.nl
And flash it via fastboot.
Then download 2.3 ruu from htcdev (you have an explanation how to get in my signature) and run it from your PC. Then you'll get s-on and stock and working 2.3 on your device.

That did it, thank you !

[Q] Deeply confused by unbrick attempt - can anyone help ?

Hi All,
Apologies in advance... I'm a noob.
Well for a long time I was a happy camper running the excellent Marange MIUI ROMs on my HTC desire (which had been replaced by a PVT4 motherboard version). This was S-OFF and running HBOOT 0.93... but then one day a couple of months ago I got into a boot loop where all I got was the MIUI boot logo... not really a loop more just stuck at the logo.
So I tried several clueless attempts to reimage using the TeamWin TWRP boot loader... but nothing I did worked. So after several failed RUU attempts and random PB99IMG boots and one successful run of:
RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851
I had what I imagined was a stock phone running an ancient Telstra release (it is a Telstra branded phone - the other world wide English RUUs refused to recognise the phone - 130 error).
I tried re-flashing the baseband radio, ClockworkMod v2.5.0.7 Recovery and MIUI... and wound up back to square one stuck in the MIUI logo and the RUU I used to get back to stock is now refusing to do anything) and this time I noticed my phone reports:
BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.75.0000
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYMT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Mar 5 2010, 21:12:15
So somehow my PVT4 S-OFF 0.93 changed to the above. Which I don't understand... I thought that only a Goldcard could do something like that. None of the recovery tools seem to want to deal with HBOOT 0.75 and the fact that I'm S-ON would appear to be a pain.
The other thing that really confuses me is that how come if the phone is S-ON it lets me wipe everything and install the latest Marange MIUI ROMs ? Surely if it's S-ON then these would have to be signed (maybe they are for all I know).
Finally, if I use adb when the phone is stuck in it's MIUI boot logo I'm amazed I can get a root shell.
Anyone got any advice on how my phone got into such a mess, how to fix HBOOT and get a decent ROM running again ?
Any help hugely appreciated. The more detail the better.
Many AtDhVaAnNkCsE
Cheers,
Doug

How where you s-off, with hboot 0.93? Alpharev hboots have 6.93 etc.
Anyways, did you try the 2.3 RUU? Check my sig.
You can flash roms with s-on, but you can't change recovery.

To be honest I couldn't quite remember the state of my HBOOT I just new that it had been newer than 0.75, possibly 0.80, and that I had S-OFF and PVT4.
Your suggestion worked perfectly! I ran the RUU without issue to upgrade to 2.3 which gave me a new 1.x HBOOT and then I ran revolutionary and was then able to install MIUI. Smooth as...
Thank you so much!
I find the howto guides out there have lots of how but not too much why. I like detail on why things work or don't. Like why did that RUU work when so many others I tried didn't... did HTC make RUU 2.3 more forgiving in it's identification of supported phones ?
Anyway, once again many thanks for your kind help.
Cheers,
Doug

htc desire in RUU mode

Hello All!
I recently purchased a HTC DESIRE BRAVO which was a factory release and working fine.
I then decided to have S-OFF and ROOT the phone, which i did without any problems and in turn installed a fresh ROM and everything worked fine.
Then it started to have boot up problems and so i installed fresh Hboot using ANDROID FLASHER, still having problems, again i installed a different Hboot and after doing this a few times the phone stopped working completley.
I then took it up on myself to install the HTCdevs 2.3 RUU in order to make the phone work again! But things got even worse
The phone now boots to a Black screen with HTC in the middle of the screen and in each corner a triangle with an exclamation mark in it.
I have tried BORTAKS guide using section 5 a) S-OFF (RUU problems) to fix the problem but no luck!
My laptop can see the phone but only as MY HTC not as an interface, so any help or guidance or downloadable links will be appreciated!!!
From what i remember this was the phones internal info:
ALPHAREV cm7r2
S-OFF
Bravo PVT1
HBOOT 6.93.1002
radio 5.17.05.23
Many thanks in advance

I think you should flash Alpharev Brawo downgrader first.

Never flash a ruu with a hboot other than stock.

[Q] Reflashing the hboot?

Hi,
I myself have a HTC Desire with the following specs:
HBOOT: Alpharev CM7r2,BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF, HBOOT-6.93.1002, MICROP-031d
Rom: MildWild 8
Im very pleased with this setup and with the MW8, every running smooth and fast, good batterylife, all fine.
But now....
A friend of mine also has a Desire with the following specs:
HBOOT: Alpharev ,BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF, HBOOT-0.93.0001, MICROP-051d
Rom: (MildWild 8)
Because my friend had troubles with a previous HTC Sense-rom, i convinced her to try out thhe MW8.
So i tried to setup her Desire just like mine...CM7r2 hboot and MW8 done......NOOOOOOTTTTT
I tried to upgrade her hboot, by simply downloading the CM7r2 img zipfile from the Alpharev site, renaming it andcopying it to her SD root and then booting in bootloader...hoping it would ask me to upgrade the bootloader (just like it did with mine).....but that wont work...it gives some error, but it goes to fast to read.
After some other stuff, and searching the internet and especially this XDA forum...i didnt get any wiser and i didnt get any further with upgrading her hboot.
So i decided to just flash the MW8 rom (clean install)....and ....it worked! :victory:
But after a day, i noticed some small problems..battery wont fill up to 100%...(did a Battery wipe in bootloader)...battery drains rather fast...
...maybe the bootloader is the problem?
SO....THE QUESTION!
How can i reflash this Desire so it has the same specs as mine? I got no problems with mine, so setting this one up the same as mine...must be the solution.
...a short list of steps will do fine thx (i hope )
