So you have ClockWorkMod recovery. Now, Cyanogenmod is a ROM. It's the thing that replaces your current operating system. To install it, you put it on your sd-card, you boot in clockworkmod recovery, you backup your current ROM, you do a factory data reset+wipe cache+ wipe dalvik cache, then you select "Install zip from sd-card", then select the Cyanogenmod zip.
I usually don't respond to PM's because posting in a thread gives other people the opportunity to help, or learn from your mistakes.
Next time, post in a thread.
Thanks you.

First off, Yes I have searched more than this site for an answer to the point where my handset would not do anything but go into the recovery menu.
What I want to do is put stock HTC Android on my Desire.
Currently it is rooted but has to be un rooted to go onto works E Mail server. Yes I know it makes no difference but my employer insist on official firmware on handsets.
The handset is a GSM HTC Desire (Bravo)

Hi,

Hmmm,
How would they know if the HTC Sense ROM just happened to be rooted. One could argue that the ROM was a valid HTC ROM. I know it's semantics but ...
The "About phone" would still show HTC as the ROM.
There must already be a variety of ROMs on HTC desires already used in your company.
The Clockwork recovery would give it away mate.

This might work for you Not sure if you have tried it but try again
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named PB99IMG, there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off. (MAKE SURE PHONE IS CHARGED TO AT LEAST 70%++
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

Yup, "ERROR 140:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR" The only time you can put a lower bootloader version is when you have a gold card.
The above method posted by Shockem should work. A second method is to just put a gold card in your device and get the latest WWE RUU. Check my signature for the file. Once a gold card is in, it will work. Note that this method unbrands your device, so if you a branded device with visible logos, dont go for this.
Third method is by flashing the OTA zip file you got from your operator if you have it. Again gold card should be in the device. But is is likely that it may also work without since CustID is same. Advantage: preserves branding
So do I still need a gold card even though my device is rooted?

Certainly.........
Point is you say you've tried several RUUs and they dont work..Hence we have to assume it's a branded phone. HTC even brands some phones with the brand HTC (Eg Indian HTCs). To unroot a branded HTC, you need a goldcard.
i had same problem, i was trying for days till i rememberd that i can downgrade hboot, install android 2.1 and ota update froyo. ( if your desire wasnt branded you dont need goldcard). problem was that i couldnt find stock froyo, only eclair
this thread helped me :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
i hope it helps
Point is some people (including me in the past) dont realize that they have a branded phone. There may not be any visible branding. So better be safe than sorry, by creating a goldcard.. Once the device if bricked, you cant (in most cases) create a goldcard
Thank you all so much.
I'll be doing this tonight.

I had this problem initially on my SLCD desire 0.93 hboot.
The reason is that it need a custom root file to loaded through unlocker. This is available through XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9245153]
recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.1-0.93.rar
after this it rooted perfectly

Go through this process if all else fails for you.
1. Make a goldcard (google it so you dont have to mess with hex anymore).
2. If your phone isnt branded download the latest ruu (or earlier if you want a lower hboot, but that doesn't matter anymore).
2a. If your phone is branded, find the ruu for your carrier.
3. Optional - if you are rooted, then nandroid, if not, back up apps etc if you want them.
4. Install HTC Sync (for drivers).
5. Put your phone in to fastboot (power + back button).
6. Connect USB and run ruu.
7. Once all that's done, select usb debugging and run unrevoked.
Worked for my messed up Desire!
- If step 6 is giving you hassle, go to device manager, find android and select drivers from a list, there should only be one or two extra.

PS: Thanks everyone who took their time to post and help me
Pls refer to this page , sorry for my poor english.
连接手机和电脑,打开CMD(开始->运行->输入CMD,回车)
这里我一不小心,用了cygwin,所以显示上和你的会不太一样,没影响,仅仅是显示不太一样而已
输入:adb shell(确定你装好了adb,不过,你能遇到这个问题,应该就是装了吧)
然后
输入命令:/system/__unrevoked_su(使用unrevoked传至手机中的东东来获取root执行权限)
输入:cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 >/sdcard/misc.img(将misc分区镜像导出到sd卡上的misc.img文件中,强调一次,cat后面是有一个空格的!)
输入:getprop ro.cid(获取正确的CID号)
上一命令会有一个返回值:11111111(这个仅作为举例,请记下你获取到的值)
输入:exit(退出root)
输入:exit(退出adb shell)
输入:adb pull /sdcard/misc.img(将misc.img文件复制到CMD执行路径下,例如图中是Kitchen这个文件夹中,手动复制亦可,自由变通)
第一步完成了(这个时候没必要把CMD关了,待会还要用的)
现在打开一个十六进制编辑器,我用的winhex(提示镜像文件为磁盘时,选择否)
从0位置开始进行编辑。将上面获得的CID值写入,最后一位以00填充作为结束,如下图
然后就是要把这个misc.img文件重新刷回手机了。
输入:adb push misc.img /sdcard/new-misc.img(将该好的misc.img传到SD卡中,命名为new-misc.img,手动复制亦可,自由变通)
输入:adb shell
输入:/system/__unrevoked_su
输入:/data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/new-misc.img(将修改过的misc.img文件重新刷回手机)
输入:exit
输入:exit
然后现在再按照unrevoked的使用方法再来一遍,不出意外的话,一切OK了。
其实以上总结一下,很简单:从手机中将misc分区镜像弄出来,并获得正确的CID号,然后写入得到的镜像文件中,刷回。搞定
Try this version of unrEVOked:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/dd5yh9
As I mentioned above in Chinese
1. Pull out the misc partition to a misc.img
2. Write the correct CID into this misc.img file
3. flash back
You can traslate the Chinese into English with google traslate
Try unrevoked version 3.21 seems to work fine

Hi all.
This is my GF phone so i have no idea about them. Been working fine until today. She popped the wifi on and it said there was a new update do you want to update and she said yes so im assuming she has updated to the new firmware. After that it rebooted and then just hung on the HTC logo screen. This is all stock never been messed about with so just shop bought if you like and all official.
I can get into the boot menu ETC and ive recovered it and that still didnt work but the recovery only seemed to delete all my data im guessing as that was the only option
Can someone please help ?
Thank you
Did you go on the thread named Troubleshooting conveniently stuck on top of the thread?
I did mate. its says to format all those listed but all i had was wipe all data. i dont have a clue how or what to flash onto this

I have trust just have no experience with a HTC, im a S2 man.
Right have the Bravo, But you say boot into fast boot which ive done connected via usb which is done, but then Run RUU. How do i do that ive been looking about and re-read your sticky but im either thinking RUU is a programme or RUU is a rom ? im a little confused and dunno how to run lol
Thanx for your help mate which is really appreciated but sorry for my htc noobness
RUU is a Windows program which flashes a firmware onto your device. Read more: Desire Unbricking guide and Goldcard FAQ
After installing HTC Sync, you uninstall HTC Sync alone leaving the drivers installed. Then run the RUU and follow onscreen instructions.
Thanx Guys, appreciate all the replys and the help
Okay, so I've been searching for about a week; Google, XDA, forums, everything.
Backstory:
My friend found this wildfire at a bus stop, it had no Sim in it but an SD card (which he gave to a friend and has since been wiped).
I've unlocked and rooted a ZTE Skate (Orange Monte Carlo) for use with a GiffGaff Sim and Cyanogen. I'm quite computer Savvy and thought that I'd easily be able to do the same thing with this phone, with Google anything is possible!
Current Condition:
It's in the same state as when I got it, it doesn't have an OS. When you turn it on it just loops the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' boot loop, holding power and Volume down boots it into a white screen with text (I think this is called HBOOT).
This is the information on this screen:
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.01.0001
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_20aa
RADIO-3.35.20.10
Nov 17 2010,12:08:53
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Plus options which I'm sure most of you are aware of.
When I select 'Recovery' it takes me to a picture of a phone with a large Exclamation mark (which is inside a triangle warning sign) over it. After a few moments I'm taken to the 'Android System Recovery' which I'm guessing is the stock recovery.
I've taken pictures of all these screens if anyone needs clarification and also of the back of the phone with the battery off (for the IMEI, etc).
What I've Tried:
I'll try make a list of everything I've tried here but I've tried a fair amount (nothing has actually effected the phone so it's still in it's original state).
Extracting the rom.zip from the RUU for the radio number of this phone and renamed it to update.zip. I then tried reading from update.zip from within 'Android System Recovery'. That didn't work, something about a signature not being valid.
Renaming the same rom.zip from 1. and renaming it to PC49IMG.zip/img so that the HBOOT screen could detect it but that was to no avail.
Running unrevoked(latest version) didn't work as the phone doesn't have an OS and every guide says to turn USB debugging on (which I can't do).
Running the RUU for this phone (which I judged from the RADIO version) didn't work either (it couldn't detect the phone).
Using ADB to push/flash recovery/boot/system and none of that has worked.
If I haven't provided some key piece of information then please let me know, I'd like to get this issue sorted as soon as possible!
Thanks in advance!
OK go to the development section and look for clockworkmod version 5.0.2.8 in pc49img format. Boot to bootloader with it on the root of the sdcard and Allow it to flash. Then flash rempuzzle or any other sense rom and your sorted pal
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Thank you so much for the quick response!
I feel like this is getting somewhere now!
So I followed your advice and downloaded PC49IMG.zip from this post.
I copied it to the root of a clean 1GB SD card, booted the phone into Hboot which checks the connected SD card for a zip with that name, It comes up saying Loading PC49IMG.zip but then says 'No Image!'.
I know the SD card slot works and that the SD card works, am I doing anything wrong?
EDIT:
Just to keep the information on here up-to-date I've just posted in the thread I linked to earlier on in this post.

Fast boot will not work as that hboot does not have fastboot commands enabled pal. Give me 10 minutes to jump on the PC and I will help you out
edit: ok you definately need to use the pc49img method as your hboot does not have fastboot commands, the reason most people here can fastboot is the have revolutionary s-off, which added fastboot commands. i think either that phone came s-off or met with an xtc clip, hich has s-offed it and gave it sim unlock ect. so use the pc49img way of doing it, and keep the letters all caps, bar zip. like this PC49IMG.zip sometimes the bootloaders have a huff if its not worded right ;P

copy this to the root of the sdcard.
when it finds it it should say "jumping to diag", should give you 2 options, select diag. it should then come up with another 2 options of clean s58 data and device info. go down to device info first and look through it to check if the cid is 11111111.
if it is not copy it down.
then keep flicking through and it should bring you back to the clean s58data menu. clean the s58data. it should say readcid success and write cid success, or something along those lines. when it has finished reboot the device and leave it to see if it fully boots again.
this file is a leaked htc diagnostics utility, used with the xtc clip to s-off and give supercid and sim unlock. since you are s-0ff it will run and do its job, with the added bonus that it will hardcore factory reset the device wiping everything from it, hopefully fixing the bootloop in the process. if it does not then you will definately have supercid and be able to use any ruu you need to good luck and report back
I've cracked it!!!!
I was in the process of following the steps in your latest post. I was getting more frustrated because the diag file STILL wasn't being picked up by Hboot and I was at a loss.
I remembered I had an 8GB SD card not being used so I decided it was worth a try to repeat some of these steps with that in it. IT WORKED!
Hboot instantly picked up the diag utitility which makes me think that what was stopping me was that hboot doesn't like SD cards below 2GB (something I'd read about when unlocking my ZTE Skate).
So I restarted the phone with just the PC49IMG.zip on the sd card and low and behold it flashed CWM onto the recovery. Well. As anyone will tell you once you've got CWM on there then everything is nice and dandy! I flashed the latest CyanogenMod 7.2 nightly onto the phone, flashed the gapps and voila the phone is booting into CM7!!!
Thank you so much for your help in this heavy_metal_man, without you taking the time out to answer my questions I would have been lost!
Again, thank you so much. MY ISSUE IS RESOLVED!!!!

I remembered I had an 8GB SD card not being used so I decided it was worth a try to repeat some of these steps with that in it. IT WORKED!
Hboot instantly picked up the diag utitility which makes me think that what was stopping me was that hboot doesn't like SD cards below 2GB (something I'd read about when unlocking my ZTE Skate).
So I restarted the phone with just the PC49IMG.zip on the sd card and low and behold it flashed CWM onto the recovery. Well. As anyone will tell you once you've got CWM on there then everything is nice and dandy! I flashed the latest CyanogenMod 7.2 nightly onto the phone, flashed the gapps and voila the phone is booting into CM7!!!
Thank you so much for your help in this heavy_metal_man, without you taking the time out to answer my questions I would have been lost!
Again, thank you so much. MY ISSUE IS RESOLVED!!!!

I always recommend this one, start at the beginning, read it many times before you do anything.
In future, if you run into trouble, remember this

Do you want your phone to not get bricked during the process because you didn't read, and didn't know what was happening and what you were doing?
Then spend about half an hour for this reading. It will do you well.

It's not hard. It's like bungee jumping. You are affraid at first. But then the fear goes away, and you end up enjoying it. Yes, things can go wrong, but as long as you read and know what to do, then everything will be fine.
Plus, we are here to help you. If you want, we will guide you through the entire process step by step.
First thing's first. Boot in bootloader (Power off, then hold Power +VolDown), and post everything that is written above "Fastboot".

1.Install these drivers on your PC.
2.Download revolutionary from here and extract the zip into a folder. Also make sure that you fill out all of the information on that page so that you can get the beta key. Once the key is generated copy it. (highlight it, right click, copy).
3.Plug the phone in (make sure USB Debugging is enabled). Also the phone should just be booted into android when you plug it in.
4.After the phone is plugged in and recognized by your PC, run the revolutionary.exe. It will ask for the beta key. Right click in the command prompt window and paste the key that you copied earlier. Let it run and do its thing. If it asks to install a custom recovery say yes. (doesnt really matter what you say tbh, as you will probably need to install another one later to create a partition).
5.After its done, unplug the phone and boot it up. Read abaaaabbbb63's partitioning guide (in his signature) to install 4ext recovery and create a 512mb - 1gb 4ext partition.
6.Go to the desire development section and pick a rom. I would recommend milwilds redux rom for stabilty, and reliable speed. Copy it your sdcard.
7.Go into recovery Wipe>format all partitions except sdcard. Then go to install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>browse to the rom you copied and flash it.
8.Reboot. Profit.

You flash this from recovery. It's the root package.

You go in recovery by booting in hboot (Power+Vol Down), and selecting recovery. In recovery, select "install zip from sd-card", and select the zip I gave you above. That will give you root access, and you will be able to install 4ext through the app.
In recovery, select "install zip from sd-card", nothing is happening ... just black screen with revolutionary written
now i cant even reboot restart my phone its stuck
