In my sig you will find the 2.3 RUU for the Desire. Download it, then put the PB99IMG.zip on the root of your sd-card (Like, not in a folder). Then boot in hboot, and select yes. Your phone should be stock.
Make sure you have stock hboot.

First, from recovery, do a backup, just in case. You know how to do that right? (Enter recovery, select backup, wait)
Just to make sure, download the PB99IMG downgrade from here:
http://alpharev.nl/ (It's the last one in the table)
If you have an sd-card reader:
Put it on your sd-card, then boot in hboot, then select "Yes".
After that, delete the PB99IMG.zip from your sd-card , put the RUU PB99IMG.zip (I know, it's confusing, but stay with me), boot in hboot, then select yes again.
In case you don't have a card reader, then you will have to flash the downgrade through fastboot. Check my sig how to set it up. In this case, extract the .img from the downgrade pb99img zip, open cmd, connect your phone in fastboot, open CMD, and type "fastboot flash hboot <img path>". And then put the RUU PB99IMG.zip on your sd-card, boot in hboot, and select yes.

Recovery opens in clockwork mode, does that make any difference?
And don't i need to wipe data and cache? Just make backup, instal that downgrade and then instal that RUU and that's all?

Clockworkmode works. Just backup.
I explained everything like for a newbie, like you said in the title
Yeah,, that's all you need to do.

As you said, that's really confusing. Ok, thanks, i'm trying to make it now..

Boot in hboot and select yes, but there are no yes to select when i enter hboot it just says:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
Maybe i just i need to install that downgrade zip file from SD card in clockwrokmod recovery?
Sorry

Are you sure you have the PB99IMG.zip (renane it if it's not called that way) on the root of the sd-card?

Well, yes..

Weird. Then flash it through fastboot.

And after all that if it will works my phone will be unrooted? And android will stay in the same version or not?

You will be unrooted, but then you can very easily root using revolutionary.
You will have android 2.3.3

When i enter hboot and when it reads zip file on sd card it writes that there are no img file or smth
hope you still have patience for me

Thats the message telling you that it didn't find any pb99img.zip on the root of the sd-card.
Again, are you sure that you put the exactly named "pb99img.zip" outside any folder on your sd, and that you have the correct one?

that is weird.. Well yes, name is exatly like yours and i just pick that zip file on my sd card not in any folder on sd
on boot it says:
SD checking...
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!

i took my other sd card, formated it and now it works, so i'm going to instal it, hope it will be fine...

download this file attached (downgrade.img) and put it on ur sdcard (not in a folder) boot into bootloader, volume down + power then bootloader will find PB99IMG and ask u to update, volume up for yes. then just follow abaaaabbbb63 instructions or what ever it is ur trying to do.

[Q] HELP! PB99IMG problem..CID incorrect

Here's the thing...
I manage to update the bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img through fastboot..but when bootloader wants to update the PB99IMG_bravo_cm7 it says CID Incorrect..
the PB99IMG have been renamed to PB99IMG_bravo (as the alpharev site says) same with the bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img to bravo_alphaspl.img
I put the PB99IMG_bravo at root of the sdcard (is it wrong???)
thank god I can still turn my phone on...
anyone can help me??thanks XDA~
You need to create a "Gold Card" on your SD.
Usually, this fixes most issues. It's looking for a signature.
But, what do I know....... Could be wrong....
gold card???owhh no....i ll give it a try later...thnx
If you go through the SD card way, you need a goldcard. Your best off goin through fastboot since you don't need to have a goldcard and to be honest, it only takes a matter of seconds anyway.
Sent from CM7
Meaple...what do u mean by fastboot?when i flash the 'bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img', I did use the fastboot as alpharev says in it site...n the 'PB99IMG_bravo_cm7' also put in the sdcard...the way I'm using is the way that alpharev says...

Help! PB99IMG.zip not loading

Hi guys,
I have a problem where I am trying to flash a rom by placing PB99IMG.zip in the root of my SD card and booting into HBOOT.
HBOOT checks for all the standard files but skips the PB99IMG.zip I loaded as if it wasn't there.
Does anyone know why this could be happening?
I tried different zips, ones I downloaded directly from shipped roms and another one I extracted from an RUU. None of them seem to be recognized, they all get ignored.
Which RUU did you get the ZIP from? And have you called it PB99IMG.zip (not .zip.zip)?
The SD card ur using is it a goldcard
The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait
I tried these ones:
RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Telstra_WWE_2.26.841.2_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_150162_signed.exe
The later one was downloaded straight from the HTC website, after inserting my IMEI number so it's official.
I also tried to make a gold card but it still didn't work. I am also rooted so I shouldn't need a goldcard anyway?
Does the HBOOT on the phone (currently 0.93) have to be the same version as the HBOOT that the zip is expecting?
Found this somewhere else, xda is being funny at my end else i'd reference it properly and give credit where its due.
You can extract the ROM.zip from any RUU to install via ZIP
Start the RUU and once at the first main screen click Start>Run and type
%temp%
now, find the newest folder and in there will be a ZIP file called Rom - copy this to your desktop and rename it PB99IMG. Now copy this to your SD card and start the phone in HBOOT (turn it on whilst holding volume down). It will find the file and start the update. Just follow the instructions...
It will wipe your phone, though

Hello Yoda,
What you describe is exactly what I did. I renamed the rom.zip file I found in the temp folder to PB99IMG.zip (not ...zip.zip).
I booted into HBOOT but the file just gets ignored. I also installed alpharev custom HBOOT to see if S-OFF would make any difference. It still gets ignored!!
Can anyone help?
If not, is there any way to downgrade HBOOT (say from 0.93 to 0.92) without using PB99IMG.zip?
I had same problem with HBOOT 0.93
You need to downgrade to stock Hboot.
I used this tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Follow the instructions ( my phone was not branded , worked for me without a gold card ) , downgrade , after that unrevoked3 , alpharev = S-off Desire
Hi aditirex,
I tried tool you mentioned. I ran the linux version. Everything looked promising, I got no errors but the downgrade didn't happen. I still have HBOOT 0.93 when I rebooted.
Does anyone else know any ways to downgrade HBOOT without using PG99IMG.zip?
(I even tried to format with FAT32 using a card reader, and then the goldcard tool - still nothing)
Anyone? Please?
I really need to get this done to claim my warranty.
I read in another post that you can flash HBOOT using the android SDK:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
But I'm guessing this is an image saved by a nandroid backup.
Does anyone know if I can obtain the img file from PB99IMG.zip?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 . Use one that is not froyo . It should revert the phone to default settings .

[Q] another bricked phone thread; help needed

I've looked around for solutions as much as I could before posting
I've outlined everything I've done so far, not sure how much is relevant
Was running LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 before the phone became bricked
I rebooted the phone at one point, and the battery fell out during a reboot
Next time I rebooted it got to the ascii art android logo, onto a part with text on, and got stuck in a boot loop, the text had a progress part "so&so out of 2703kb" or something to that effect
(can't remember the text exactly)
After a few tries at rebooting it went to the home screen, however nothing loaded onto the home screen for 20 minutes, and the only function that worked was locking the screen, I couldn't turn it off or anything.
After this, everytime I booted it got stuck in a boot-loop on a splash screen of
"ANDROID" in silver writing
This is what I currently get when I boot my phone
When booted into recovery mode (hboot) I first get the message;
SD Checking...

After I get this message I am free to go into fastboot and recovery menu
The PC recognises the phone in fastboot (I'm running windows 7)
I tried reflashing the leedroid rom straight from the recovery menu, didn't affect anything at all.
Went on to reformat sd card entirely.
Tried updating to the latest ruu, as there was no ruu that was exactly the same as mine, my phone was originally on virgin mobile and there were no ruu's with the same baseband
RUU used; RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
But the update fails part way through (after it reboots the phone) and gives

if you can go into recovery, try reflash the zip file again and let it do its job. your hboot is not screwed so it shall restart with a new flash. recommending you download oxygen and save it on your sdcard. due to its fastest to load and most stable.
Just FYI: bootloop is not any kind of brick, and you're not bricked either.
Just do full wipe and reflash the ROM.
If you want to go back stock, you will need goldcard when running RUU.

Did you do Full Wipe/Factory reset & dalvik cache wipe before flashing new ROM?
Do you have any partitions on SD card?

I wiped both
Yes, I partitioned it as instructed in the stickied noob guide
4GB partioned to 1GB of Ext3, the rest is FAT32. The partition is still there.
Probably something went wrong when you was creating ext partition, what i suggest is downloading this recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661317&stc=1&d=1311251519 (md5sum zip: 170785457774834c7ae58e331d6f4ab4)
Put it onto your sdcard (root of SD, not in any folders), rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" and boot into bootloader.
It should ask if you want to update, choose yes.
Partition your SD in new recovery, it will also perfectly align it, try to flash with this should be good.

Didn't ask if it wanted to update
Text said loading image, A progress bar automatically appeared on the right, after it was done loading, it said 'checking image' then just went straight back into the bootloader
Are you sure you renamed file to PB99IMG.zip ? You can also try to rename it to PB99IMG (without extension)

Yep, just double checked and tried a few more times, redownloaded and tried again just to be sure.
When renamed without extension the phone didn't find it, renamed with .zip extension the phone seemed to recognise it, but stopped after saying "checking image"

I'm just trying to create a gold card now (didn't know about them until after I flashed)
I used Gparted
You can also try to repartition in the recovery you have right now, might help who knows.
I'm crossing my fingers for the repartitioning from current recovery mode to work
because I'm not entirely sure on how to create a goldcard without being able to boot my phone normally
*edit*
Yes, that did indeed work
seems the file structure got fudged up when the battery fell out for a reboot
such a simple solution that I overlooked at the beginning sorry
Thanks for all your help
Create goldcard and bring your phone back to stock with the ruu you already wanted to use. With three goldcard you won't get the cid error.
Run unrevoked again, but this time you use a custom recovery:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash_package.exe
I can highly recommend rmd recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137763
Download the zip, extract it and check the md5 of the image.
Standard amonra recovery:
www.android-hilfe.de/attachments/ro...-0-0-14-11-2010-recovery-ra-desire-v2.0.1.zip
Configure your phone correctly for using unrevoked.
Start unrevoked>file>custom recovery>choose the downloaded recovery image.
Run unrevoked.
If successfully done, go into recovery and flash custom rom.
The one k3lcior provided cannot be used as long as one is not s-on. So you cannot use it.
@k3lcior: Take care of this when you tell people to flash this recovery.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop after crash sd card please help

I really hope someone can help me. I can not use my HTC Desire anymore.
I am using Cyanogenmod for a long time and really like it. The version I am on no is the 7.1 RC 1 mod.
This morning my phone said my sd card was damaged. It was, I had to format it in windows and the SD is empty now.
The problem I now have is a boot loop when I turn my phone on. With or without the sd card installed.
I think I have to wipe my phone but how can I do this, or how can I restore a complete new Cyanogenmod install?
I have an empty SD Card now.
Thanks very much for any support!

Now I choose recovery and get a red triange. No wipe option availble.
Looks like my clockwork mod has been gone?
I haev found somewhere I can downloaded the cyanogenmod zip file and rename it to PD98IMG.zip. When I go into the bootloader I will be asked to flash it.
This is not working it looks likes the bootloader looks for another PD***.zip file?
Renamed to PB99IMG.zip
Renamed it to PB99IMG.zip. It is loading, Checking and I am back in the HBOOT menu. No question if I want to flash it. Now what?
I am stuck now
What recovery do you have?
Also, do you have root access?
It was rooted and had clockwork.
But it looks lilke clockwork boot disappeared.
I will use RUU to back to stock rom and root again after that.
Thanks for all support!
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
reflash your recovery and restore your backup - which I hope you didn't lose
Edit -
Actually just read your post - you have an empty sd did you make a pc backup of your nandroid?
Android sometimes says the sd-card is damaged, doesn't mean that's the case. A lot of the time rebooting the phone once or twice, or booting without the sd-card, then with, fixes the problem.
when you boot into recovery and get the android triangle thingy try:
First pace the recovery image in your sdcard root and rename it to recovery (so the full name will now be recovery.img), then reboot into recovery and plug in via usb.
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (wait till this# sign shows up again before you type the next command)
reboot recovery
if that doesn't work, then it's a longshot since I haven't done it before but you can always try
reboot into recovery, press VOLUME UP and POWER at the same time, which gets you the stock recovery.. AFAIK I think you still can flash images from there, so if you got a recovery.zip and renamed it to "update.zip" and stuck it in the root of your sd-card, and chose the flash "update.zip" in recovery mode, that *should* fakeflash recovery and you'd be able to flash a ROM, and that should fix it for you.. if that doesn't work then use a RUU, and after you done that S-OFF so you can get yourself out of these situations easier!
I have done a RUU. My phone is now stock again.
What is the best way to continue from this point?

Put the PB99IMG.zip on your sd-card (outside any folder), then boot in hboot, and select yes.
Alternatively, power off your smartphone.
Install the fastboot and device drivers and attach the USB from your computer to your smartphone.
Hold the volume-down button and power on to get into HBOOT.
Then simply use AndroidFlasher or another utility to flash a recovery image. You can take this opportunity to flash your ROM as well.
Also, I'd suggest using either AmonRa or 4EXT Recovery for your device as some users with the MICROP firmware version 0.51d have reported problems with using CWM.

This is known error for some sdcards just backup the sdcard format it pop the file back into the root of the sdcard and try again you will find that it finds it right away. Sometimes when we partition our sdcard the phone can get confused about where to look for these files and it can miss them easily if you do as i said i can 100% guarantee it will work for you hun xx
