Download the 2.3 ruu from my sig. Do not rename the zip.
Take it, and put it on the root of your sd-card, like... Outside any folder.
Then, boot in hboot. You should be prompted to update. Select yes, then post the results.

//Hboot usb/fastboot usb// working
[1] Radio_V2 - FailPU
Everything else OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!

It's a radio brick. Your baseband somehow got corrupted. There are three methods of solving this:
1. Change your phone.
2. Go to a gsm service for a fix
3. Endlessly flash RUUs and hope that one of them will eventually succeed. (About 1/1000 chance of that happening)

I see that i need S-OFF but i even can't login to my phone.
"PREREQUISITES :
a ROOTed HTC Desire ROM with debugging option enabled on it."

I reflowed phone. Now Radio is OK but its trying to login HTC logo and vibrates...

[Q] FOR ATTENTION OF: DROIDZONE (and anyone else!)

A few weeks ago you posted a guide on one of my threads about how to reflash my Desire using a goldcard which worked great for me and I was able to reflash and reroot my Desire - I only followed your guide up to and including Step 2. as once I had a working phone again I wan't too bothered about the additional steps to take it back to stock ROM.
Since flashing a custom ROM (LeeDroid 2.3d) and a LOT of apps on a 16gb MicroSD card, the phone worked fine. However, over the last few days it started randomly rebooting and has gotten progressively worse.
I decided to reflash back to stock again using your guide (post #14 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892064&page=2).
The process completes but there is an error on one of the steps (step 6). After the reflash the screen shows the following :-
[1] BOOTLOADER - OK
[2] RADIO_V2 - OK
[3] RADIO_CUST - OK
[4] BOOT - OK
[5] RECOVERY - OK
[6] SYSTEM - Fail-PU
[7] USERDATA - OK
[8] SPLASH1 - OK
[9] SPLASH2 - OK
Partition update fail!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
<VOL UP> Yes
<VOL DOWN> No
Presumably, the PU in 'Fail-PU' means Partition update. The only thing is, I am flashing the PB99IMG.zip file from a goldcard as per the Droidzone guide - there is no partition on the goldcard.
Do you (or anyone else reading this) have any idea why it might be failing at step 6? The phone does actually boot up after the reflash but HTC Sense just goes into a repeated 'Force Close' loop. Is there a different ROM image I can try when using your process with the goldcard?
Since the reflash process does complete and the phone boots up (albiet with the HTC Sense 'force close' issue) I'm guessing it shouldn't be too difficult an issue to solve...I just need to know how to solve it.
I have downloaded the PB99IMG.zip file again just in case the original was corrupt, but I got the same result.
Any help or guidance you or anyone else can give is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich
Leave it a bit and do it again, should be fine. I had the same issue with the radio part but 30 mins later I was back to stock
Already tried

your best bet would be to use an exe file like this and see if that helps. Ensure that you are on a computer on which HTC sync / other android drivers have never been used before:

is my desire dead?
I've tried to reflash my Desire several times using Droidzone's guide over the last few days. Each time I was getting the Fail-PU message at when it was trying to install the System (step 6).
However, today things took a turn for the worse...I tried reflashing using the using the .exe file via fastboot. It appeared to be working until the end when it reported a fail and dropped into the HTC rom boot screen (black with 'htc' in big letters in the middle of the screen) with a small white triangle and exclamation mark in each corner of the screen.
No matter what I try I can get to the recovery screen.
Can anyone please help????
Please don't bump threads, they'll get answered as and when someone has time
Apologies
Sorry Eddy.
I know I 'bumped' twice. Things have got worse now though....desparate for help!

Try this:
press vol up and power and you get a small menu where you can delete recovery.img (assuming you're rooted).
Then install a RUU

Are you using the original USB cable shipped with your desire? I know from experience that the non-originals cause problems.

Thanks Celestialspring, but that didn't work because after following Droidzone's original guide (to step 2) the phone isn't rooted. The only screen I can get is the black screen with with the HTC lettered logo in the middle and a triangled exclamation in each corner. The phone will recognise RUU exe's via USB from this screen, but non of the RUUs work.
Hoping you might have some other ideas.
Will I be able to do anything via ADB (not that I've used it, but willing to try just about anything now)? I've also got a goldcard, not that I can get into recovery to use it.
By the way, sorry about the duplicate post, but I don't know how to edit the original title of the thread.

I've tried the unlockr method. The RUU shows the current image version on the phone as 2.29.405.2. The RUU exe I've tried to flash is the original T-Mobile stock (RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe). This appears to complete the first 4 stages of a ROM flash but then reports an error at the 'Sending' stage - ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
I've also tried the above with what I believe to be the latest non branded stock rom (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe) - 2.29.405.5 obviously being newer than 2.29.405.2 which RUU reports as being already on the phone. This time I get ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR.
I then tried the Modaco steps (your second link). This time, the RUU process went through all the steps but at the end brought up ERROR [152]: IMAGE UPDATE ERROR. This time though, the RU utility gives the option to start a 'Recover' process. There are 4 steps to the Recover process.
There is a ReadMe file available when I get error 152 which states:
4. Q: During the update, the progress bar is moving. If the error message (ERROR [150], [151]…[159]) appears, what should I do?
A: This may occur when the connection is lost, power is lost, the computer host is down, or due to other unexpected reasons. You will see some information on the Android phone’s screen. If the progress bar is moving, it means the update is processing, and your Android phone will reboot automatically and the update is successful. If your Android phone's screen shows exclamation marks in four corners, it means the update has failed. The Android phone will not be able to go into the Android screen. This problem usually can be recovered. You need to follow the instructions in the error message box, which is to reset the Android Phone and run the RUU again.
This seems to indicate the problem is to do with the connection between the phone and the PC. So I'm goning to perservere.
I have a couple of things still to try but am off to the football, I will update you later after I've tried these other things (including a different USB cable)
In the meantime, if you have any other suggestions I'd be happy to hear them. (I did look at the link in your post #14, but it refers to SLCD screens and mine is AMOLED, so reluctant to try that yet).
Thanks for the help, advice and tips so far,
Rich

Haven't tried a different PC yet. Have tried a different USB cable on the same PC as I've been using up to now, but that didn't work.
Will try a different PC tonight, though I don't really understand how that would work as the drivers, USB cable and ROM image will still be the same. Still going to give it a go though...at this stage I'll try just about anything.
If you've heard of any other fixes, then I'd love to hear them.
By the way, I tried the vol up and power button combo, but it didn't do anything. The only combo I know is vol down and power to bring up recovery menu. With black recovery screen with exclamation mark in each corner, none of the key combos do anything.
[UPDATE] Tried a different PC and, as I suspected, it didn't work
Rich
I think I've exhausted all options
After trying all of the hints and tips I've been given so far and a few I've found myself, I ve come to the conclusion the only way to fix the phone will be with a newer version of the ROM already installed (though I've tried one and that didn't work) or wait for an official T-mobile Gingerbread release (though I'm not sure they will do that).
It's all really annoying when all I really wanted to root for was to enable more storage on my phone - let's face it the storage space for apps on stock android phones is pathetic! If the manufacturers actually gave more storage for apps then I wouln'd feel the need to root.
Anyway, if anyone still has any (reasonable) suggestions after all of this then I'm still happy to hear them.
sorry mate, thats all I have for you.
Thanks anyway

Cheers anyway CelestialSpring. I might wait to see if Doridzone resurfaces with any other suggestions (I've emailed him a few days ago, but no reply).
Failing that I might have to bite the bullet and send it to HTC for a (paid for,due to void warranty) fix.

[Q] Need help with my phone (access only to hboot/fastboot)

Hi,
on my phone i have access only to HBOOT/FASTBOOT and i have goldcard. So i tried to flash it using PB99IMG.zip on SDcard, but iam getting error "Main Version is older!". When i tryed to flash it by RUU, i got error 140 "BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
I have HBOOT version 0.93.0001
What should i do now?
BTW, phone is S-ON and i dont have access to recovery.
Yea you need to flash a ruu using the PB99IMG.zip. However the one you have tried is an old one(hboot is older than 0.93.0001) And HTC doesn't allow you to downgrade your hboot(for security purposes).
So just download a more recent ruu and use the PB99IMG.zip it should have a software version around 2.29.405.
Ok, but where i can download that images? I tried to find them on google, but no succes :-(.
Can you give me a hint pls?
EDIT: Ok, i think i found it... downloading now, will inform you later...

HTC DESIRE unroot with RUU 2.3.3 failed

Hi guys.
I know there are several posts already opened about this, but I`ve tried all I read there and nothing worked.
I wanted to send my rooted Desire back for repairs(camera LED broken thanks to a Torch app), and wanted to unroot it before I do.
I`ve read on some posts that u can unroot the phone by running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU found on htcdev.com (the official RUU), so I downloaded the RUU, installed hTC Sync, installed the Desire`s USB drivers(the same one`s that are required when rooting with Revolutionary).
The RUU started installing, the phone rebooted into the HTC splash screen and the "update" of the RUU started going, both PC and phone showed the cursor of the installing process, and at about 90% the PC gave me an error (update error).
I`ve tried again and again to run the RUU but everytime, it failed. And now, my Desire just won`t boot. I`ve taken the battery out, put it back, turned it on, and the only thing that appers on the screen is the white HTC logo on a black background, with 4 icons in each corner of the screen(looks just like the icon that appears when u plug in the usb cable with USB debugging mode ON).
Volume-down+Power and BACK+Power don`t work anymore, even though I press them, the phone just simply ignores the keys and takes me back to the before mentioned hTC splash screen.
I know this is probably something I did wrong, but if there`s any one kind enough to help me out with this, I`d deeply appreciate it.
Thank you!

It doesn`t say anything.
This is what I do:
1. Take the battery out.
2. Put the battery back in place
3. Try turning phone on using: Volume-down+Power -> the phone doesn`t show anything, it simply takes me to the HTC logo(white HTC logo on black background. It does the same thing if I turn it on using BACK+Power)
If I try running the RUU again, the installer gives me the next message: Error[152]: image update error.
From what I`ve read, this is a radio error which can only be fixed by hTC. Could that be true?
Also, after the RUU gives me the above error, if I unplug the USB cable, the phone shows following:
*************
RUU
Radio_V2 - OK
Splash1 - OK
Recovery - OK
Splash2 - OK
Radio_cust - OK
Bootloader - Bypassed
Userdata - OK
System - Fail-PU
Boot - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
*************
I have the Alpharev CM7 r2 bootloader.
even if it is its covered by htc warranty so don't worry about it
I don`t think it coveres it, as the Alpharev CM7 R2 bootloader still shows.

oh you're still S-OFF?
You're automatically in fastboot when you turn on since your phone is like that so just turn it on, plug it in first flash this and then flash this, Then run the RUU again.
Yes, I`m still S-OFF.
How do I flash them if I can`t access recovery using Volume-down+Power or BACK+Power?
I`ve downloaded the first one, renamed it into PB99IMG.zip, put it on root of SD CARD, turned phone ON and it takes me to the same htc logo screen as before.

Tried with Android Flasher, but it gets stuck when trying to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img that u`ve given me.
So basically, I can`t enter Clockworkmod, I can`t enter the bootloader menu by turning on phone usine Volume-down+Power / Back+Power, and the phone is stuck in the HTC logo, while still S-OFF-ed, also the 2.3.3 official RUU gives me the error at the end of the installing process.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do?
Bortak, one million thanks for the help, patience and the time you`ve wasted.
I managed to pull it off in the end.
My desire lives again
And hey, if ever in Romania, let met know, got a couple of beer cases with your name on them

I have the exact same problem as i_cs_u.
I tried to use an RUU to install 2.3, I have alpharev cm7r2 installed and I get stack on the same step as i_cs_u. I successfully flashed bravo_alphaspl.img with "fastboot boot bravo_alphaspl.img", but which partition do I flash bravo_downgrade.img to?
Flash bravo_downgrade.img and then the RUU.

He probably figured out that he has to use the fastboot flash boot *name of img* command or Android Flasher on that screen with the 4 ! At the corner instead of renaming to PB99IMG and attempting to flash it on the phone.

Htc desire z stuck - please help

hi, my desire z crashed during a upgrade 2 days ago and not its stuck on the htc green logo page. I've read a little and i can get to the S-On page and get to the boot loader etc (factory restore does nothing).
Am i right thinking if i get the UK rom i can place it on the sd card, and then turn the phone back on by holding down Volume Down and Power until the bootloader screen comes up. It should then automatically find the rom file and ask you if i want to update the phone, select yes and wait for it to finish updating and Click reboot??
Please any help would be appreciated as I'm lost without my mob

look into
fastboot flash recovery.img where the recovery.img is the recovery you download
then recovery works
re

The fone is stuck on the HTC logo screen but i can get to the HBOOT and have the following:

*RECOVERY goes to the HTC logo page > black page with green circle> vibrates 7 times and goes off.

I have never rooted my fone and am not 100% how to but am willing to if it gets my fone back up. Any advise will be appreciated as i cant afford a new mobile right now and htc are not repairing it.

although i am not 100% sure you may just need to create a goldcard prior to sticking the pc10img.zip on your sd card.....
i use this guide normally http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/

i dont bother using windows these days but would assume you run the .exe file with your phone connected via usb & it flashes the rom to your phone
RUU
I cant use a RUU i think as i cnt get the mobile on, or do i run it on the recovery screen from the option?

when you start your phone & it hangs (i assume) if you plug it into your pc via usb does your pc recognise the device?
ok i downloaded a RUU with match the info that it says on my HBOOT details. I was having a Error 170 but i went to device manager and updated the adb (or something) and then ran the RUU and it came up saying Rebooting to Bootloader.
I saw a video and it shows the fone should go to the HTC page and a bar fill up but i get nothing. The device freezes on the FASTBOOT USB and does nothing.
Id be happy to post the phone to someone if they could fricking fix it :S

do you have the pc10img.zip on your sd card?
Any luck resuscitating your mobile?
My DZ was running stock rom, not rooted and one day it just stopped working! My data somehow became really sluggish and I had to reboot, but it wouldn't go past the Vodafone splash screen afterwards, had to do battery pull. After that it will only boot to the white screen with just HTC on it, without the Quietly Brilliant. Tried to factory reset but nothing works.
Since it was still under warranty, I can't be bothered and sent it back for repairs. Guess what, they can't fix it, probably dead eMMC chip or mobo from what I read from this & other forums.

!Updated -Realy need some help "rooting" my desire

Hello to all!
I am completely new to flashing phones, and cant get it to work on my Desire (Europe/Norway).
The case is, that i replaced the glass (not the digitizer) on my phone, and when i went to turn it on, it only stuck on the HTC logo and vibrated a few times, it never came past the HTC logo.
So, i tried reading a bit, and i tried "rooting" my phone, witch did not go well, i guess i did the whole prosess wrong.
I have tried making a goldcard, but that did not work, and i have tried installing a new rom (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed) but that just got stuck and gave me and error that it was the wrong ROM.
Now, when i try turning on my phone, the screen is black with a white HTC logo, and white warning signs in every corner..
When i press power+volume, this is the information i get:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
Touch panel-synw0101
Radio-5.11.05.27

RUU
So, as you can see my "fastboot" menu and options are gone.. But my device gets discovered on my pc when i plug in the USB.
Can anyone please tell me what to do step by step, in the right order? (Like you are explaining to your mom what to do)
Would realy realy appreciate it.
Thanks!
Your phone is stuck in RUU mode. Try running the 2.3 RUU.
Thank you sir, for your response.
On the page you link to me, i cant seem to find the agree button, just plain text and nothing else. Is there anyway you can download it and upload it to megaupload?
Thanks

Hello again!
I have now tried the RUU you gave me.
At first, it "froze" at 26% when sending radio, and the phone vibrated a few times.
I den shut it down, and restartet the process. It then came to about 80% and gave me the error 152: Please get the correct ROM update...
When i disconected the cable from my computer, it says;

[1] RADIO_V2 - FAIL-PU

[4] RADIO_CUST - OK

[8] BOOT - OK

Keep in mind, i have done nothing else to the phone, exept formated the SD card in FAT32.

Sorry to tell you, but it looks like you have a radio brick. This type of brick doesnt really have any solution. See here for more info on why this is the case.
So there is basicly nothing that can be done? A new board from ebay?
With your 2.3 update, my rom is 2.29.405.14 and 2.3 is image version 3.14.405.1
I dont need to root this phone, i just need it to work. And is it so, that rooting it is a litle more work than to just put in the original image? I mean, i have read so mutch about S-OFF, goldcard etc, that i am unsure. Is this rooting? And what i'm trying to do (Format SD card, download a image and press next) is recovery? Maybe i ned the image that is already on my phone? ( 2.29.405.14)

I think you might have mistaken but if you need more help but try pressing power button with volume down and see what it gets into first?
A little update!
I have been reading a lot on this page, and i came across a few posts that suggested putting the phone in the freezer.
So, i put the phone in the freezer for about an hour, i copied PB99IMG downgrade from Alpharev to my SD card, and turned my phone on.
I then had the bootloader options.
But, the phone never asked me to update the zip or anything, green text with checking ... came up a few times.
So, after that i pressed bootloader, and i installed the RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread) with sucess!
The phone then restartet with white screen and green htc logo. It restarted a few times, uintil it started to vibrate.
I went in to bootloader again and pressed recovery, it completed the process and the phone started up like normal.
But when i was about to unlock the screen the phone turned off, so i installed the RUU one more time, and it kept restarting when it was done..
What did i do wrong? And what can i do now to get it too work?
Tried moving the rom from the RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread) ROM in to the SD card while renaming it to PB99IMG and running it from the bootloader. When it had completed it said:
Main Version is older (i think)
Update failed!
Restart?
But it does complete with no error if i connect the phone to my computer and run the .exe?
Sigh...
I have found the problem and the solution..
This is a phone that only works in the freezer.. Need to get one hell of a freezer now.
This got me thinking and some time on google, looks like this is a common problem.
But, i never had this problem before my screen got damaged, and i replaced it. And the phone never feels warm when it restarts, it is actually cold.
So, maybe there is a faulty sensor in the phone causing it to think that it is overheating. Anyone know anything about this? If i can find the sensor, maybe i could just.. Remove it?
Is 2.2 the original android version on this phone? Maybe the 2.3.3 causes the overheat, so i was thinking on downgrading to 2.2
Where can i find the original 2.2 .exe?
Will the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe work with my 0.93.0001 HBOOT?
2.3.3 doesn't 'cause' it to overheat...
You can try to flash any compatible RUU you want, it is highly unlikely you'll properly fix a radio brick which is a hardware issue
Radio Brick? How can it have a radio brick when the phone is working? But only in the freezer tho.
I wondered because i never had this problem on the phone before i changed the screen.

- This bit means radio brick
- You can only get it to work in a freezer
There's not much more evidence you need to show that unfortunately you have a hardware issue...
