Hi guys,
I have a HTC Desire, S-ON () with HBOOT 1.02.0001 which will boot into fastboot but won't enter recovery. When I try to boot into recovery, it shows the HTC logo on white but never progresses and I have to pull the battery. On a normal boot, the device will vibrate 7 times in succession and never makes it past the HTC logo.
I was trying to fix up the device using an RUU but it failed mid-way through and now I'm wondering what my options are, as I only have fastboot working.
If I can get a working recovery then I can flash a ROM from there.
Thanks in advance
Flash the 2.3 RUU.
I get a signature error with this, do I need a gold card?

I was using the wrong RUU before but I've located the correct one, Vodafone 2.33.161.2 which is the current device version, and the RUU just hangs at 'Updating Signature'. It does eventually fail with error 155, Unknown error, suggesting an incorrect RUU or ROM.
Any idea where I'm going wrong? Will a goldcard allow me to flash the 2.3 RUU from HTC?

with the 2.3 gb upgrade u do NOT need a goldcard, thats why abaaaabbbb63 suggested it. click bortaks guide in my sig and go down to resourses and download the 2.3 gb upgrade ruu from there. it wont do u any harm in reading the guide aswell
I'm following the steps in bortaks guide under section [2], but the linked RUU fails. Unfortunately it's a PVT3 device so I can't use some of the other options in the guide.
What does it say? Is it a radio fail?

like abaaaabbbb63 said what fails? did u run the ruu but it failed? did u create a goldcard before running the ruu? why havnt u still not tried the 2.3gb upgrade? what does it say in bootloader? no one can help if u just post it failed.
Sorry, I wasn't being very clear.
I've tried the 2.3 GB from HTC and that fails with the 131 CID Error which is why I though that I needed to use a goldcard.
The Vodafone RUU (126338) that has the same version as the device (2.33.161.2) fails with 155 unknown error.
I'm going to try and make a goldcard and run the 2.3 from HTC.

u shouldnt get cid error with the 2.3gb upgrade coz it bypasses the cid check, thats why it was suggested. u 100% sure u used the 2.3gb upgrade?
You were right, I have so many RUUs I was trying to flash the wrong one.
The 2.3 RUU flashes the recovery, radio, system image and then fails with Error [152]: IMAGE UPDATE ERROR.
Unplugging the device on the RUU's recover screen as instructed shows the RUU output:
[1] RADIO_V2 - FAIL PU
Items 2-9 are listed as OK
Partition update fail!
Update Fail!
Here's a photograph of the screen - http://imgur.com/PK5jBJb
What you have there is a radio brick. The only thing you can do now is repeat the RUU process with the 2.3 one, and hope that it will eventually work.
I thought as much.
It won't even install the 2.3 RUU now, fails with signature error. I'm at the 4 corners exclamation mark screen.

Hi foks,
friend of mine has a HTC Desire, The phone had a T-Mobile ROM on it and I flashed the 1.21 on it using a goldcard (did not root it).
Now he got the notification of the froyo update and he updated his phone.
Now whenever I try to flash a rom, I get signature error.
And I found out why.
Bootloader:
Bravo UNKNOWN ship S-on
HBOOT 0.75
Radio 4.05.00.11
Here my own desire:
Bravo PVT1 ship s-on
HBOOT 0.80
Radio 5.09.00.20
The phone does work. But It is always waiting for a process and after like 1 min, it reboots all the time.
I think it has to do with the UNKNOWN thing in bootloader. But feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

Mine also says UNKNOWN and works fine! Just turn off signature checking in clockworkmod and try again

The phone is not rooted.
The signatue check error is what the RUU is saying.
He has tried to upgrade to froyo without a goldcard. You will need to flash the Froyo RUU with a goldcard. If you get a signature error try downloading the RUU again.

2. since hboot 0.93 older stock ruu wont work[1.15 and 1.21 dont work tried both]need a rom with a newer hboot
3. tried to rip .zip and renamed as pb99img but still didnt work. it wont update as it is an older version
4. does not boot into rom, stops at htc logo

6. no HTC service centre, this country [freakin doesnt service outside home devices]
Is there any possible solution to recover the phone and make it functional?
Download RUU and create a Goldcard.

Any other solution?

Hi
I searched the forum but I cannot find how to unbrick my Wildfire S...
The problem is like this:
Android 2.3.5, hboot 1.08, bootloader unlocked, rooted and link2sd installed. Recently from link2sd I converted the system file "com.htc" (i don't remember how it was called correctly, I just know that it was the biggest system file) into user file and after I restarted the phone, it got on bootloop (htc quietly brilliant logo) it just restarted itself..
I tried to fix but I couldn't so I sent it to service repair..
After a month they told me that they cannot repair it.
Now I see it that the hboot is 0.9 and when I turn it on, it hangs on white screen with green htc logo..
I tried to repair like this but no luck:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed ERROR [140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

Tried to update hboot with this: PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216 but I get this error: ERROR [190]: ROM IS NOT UPDATED Your ROM is not the latest version. Please upgrade to 2.13.401.2 to apply this RUU to be able to unlock your bootloader.
Somewhere I see the solution is goldcard but I cannot create a goldcard.
I also tried flashing from sdcard with PG76IMG.ZIP but I get this error: Main version is older! Update Fail!
Any suggestions please?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25375379
I tried that, I tried everything..
But the problem is that my phone won't switch on so I cannot create a goldcard and I cannot use adb to flash misc partition...
I also tried flashing from sd card with PG76IMG.zip but no luck
This is what I get on hboot:

In the 1st post you said you have hboot 1.08 and unlocked.. How did you downgrade it to 0.90.0000? There's something wrong
Yes that's right it was 1.08 but when I got it from service repair I saw that they downgraded to 0.9 but they didn't managed to boot it up..
Did you try running an ruu?
Yes I tried but everytime I get this ERROR [140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

If you have an A510e/Marvel, this should get 2.13.401.3 flashed:
[GUIDE]How to update HTC Wildfire S/Marvel/A510e/GSM to Software Version 2.3.5
You've already tried procedure 1 and 2 so try 3.
In first post I mentioned that I tried 2.13.401.3 but no luck, now I also tried the virgin rom but it says CID incorrect, man I tried every rom but with every rom no luck
tried changing the cid to 11111?
As far as I know I cannot change the cid if I'm S-ON, anyway I tried and I get error..
I think that I found where is the problem but I don't know how to resolve it...
When I run RUU it tells me that the current version of image on phone is 11.33.401.2 and because of that I think that I cannot update it because RUU thinks that the image on phone is newer than the one that I want to flash and because of that it gives me error.
So the question is: Does somebody know how I can change the version on RUU to be for example 12.13.401.3 so it can be updated....????
Here's the pic that I get..
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40681700/RUU.PNG
I managed to change the version on android-info.txt but now I get ERROR 132 SIGNATURE ERROR
Search the dev section for bootloader set superversion. This allows you to set your s/w number to 0.0.0.0 so you can install any RUU
Yes I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530864 but the first option is via changing the misc partition but I need adb and I'm stuck on fastboot and cannot use adb.. and the other option is the bootloadertool but I don't know how to flash that tool I tried with fastboot update but no luck nor with fastboot flash...
have it s-offed by an xtc clip and you will have, access to read write execute on the device, I mean flash anything hboots ruu roms etc. also flash a clockworkmod.
com.htc file your saying is just a file, so your phone is not actually brick, also if you have 0.90 hboot, you search the chinese guide to s-off the device w/o xtc clip. like flashing rom1.zip except rom2.zip something like that, go to bbs.anzhi.com/bbs.xda.cn/bbs.gfan.com use google translate.
gud luck
That's the problem, in my country I cannot find xtc clip and I'm still searching for it..
xtc clip is the 100% solution but I cannot find one
Ok I'll search it for ya, wait a min. btw read my previous post.

Hi all,
I am trying to root my stock HTC desire HD phone using the HTC easy unlock bootloader tool (also tried directly from HTCdev and easy ace root tool).
I get stucked right in the beginning: when trying to get my unlock token i get an error:
[ERR] Command error
I am on build 3.12.405.2
I am on HBOOT 2.00.0027
While searching for a solution I found out that there might be a problem with the HBOOT version (although version above 2.00. should be working, isnt't?), so I tried to update HBOOT. Tried updating with RUU, which gave an error that i was on version 3.12.405.2, while i should have been on version 3.12.405.1, so than I extracted PD98IMG.zip from the .exe and have put it on the root of my SD card, booted in Bootloader, but no update occured.
Now I am stucked and have no idea what to do next,
- should i still update my HBOOT and if so, how??
- is HBOOT not the problem and is there another solution?
Please help, thanks a lot,

The best is to create a goldcard and flash a RUU with a main version supported by HTCDEV. Then update the hboot and finally unlock the bootloader.

Hi All,
finally figured it out:
Fist update your HBOOT 2.00.0027 to 2.00.0029 following the small part in this link: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
after that: you can continue with unlocking trough HCTdev, than flash clockworkmod recovery, than activate superuser and than go on however you want! (i installed the rom manager app)

thanks a lot Glevitan, i was hoping a would get an answer from you . Eventually i didn't need to create a goldcard, just updating HBOOT using the link in my post above was enough to be able to continue!

That is just fine. But not for everyone..you gain tempo root to downgrade the main version and then flash GB rom. That is a nice move. :laugh:
