[Q] Downgrade to RUU went wrong - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a Desire that was rooted years ago and I was running Evervolv.
I now need to sell my phone and have tried to download to the original RUU.
I used RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
The downgrade seem to go through fine, no errors, but now when I reboot my phone I get the HTC logo and then the startup sound. The screen is then black with a thin white bar at the botton and on the sides.
If I reboot and hold down the vol I get:
AlphaRev
BRAVO pvt3 ship s-off
hboot-6.93.1002
Microp-051d
touch panel-synt0101
Radio-4.06.00.02_2
Then if I try and go into recovery mode I get a black screen with thin white vertical bars on the side.
Hope I can recover from this - but am now sure how
Help!!

Thanks, but how do I flash that if I can't boot the phone, or can't get into recovery?
Update: Scratch that - I booted the phone normally, even though the screen is blank it still lets me flash it. Trying it now and will let you know.
Update1: Brilliant - that did the trick! Thanks a ton.
Sheesh - is that what 2.3.3 used to look like. Its come such a long way!

[Q] Desire Touchscreen problem

Hi I am having a few problems with my desire. It is rooted with a custom froyo rom.
Basically the phone reset itself then took a very long time to reboot when it did finally boot it is reporting the battery is empty (it is not, I swapped my girlfriends battery) on fast boot it says TOUCH PANEL - fail, the touch screen does not work.
I had clockworkmod recovery that disappeared and instead went to a black screen with coloured vertical lines.
I have managed to re flash a stock ruu and that has let me get back into recovery - takes a while but the touch screen issue and the empty battery and very slow boot are still there.
any suggestions
Thanks
I get this in the bootloader screen, if it helps

Seems like it needs to get repaired. Ring your carrier or HTC up and see what they say to you.
Thanks for the reply, but it was an orange phone which I have debranded and rooted so i think the warranty is out of the question. Maybe its a hardware fault?
That is what I was referring to. If you can get an RUU to install to reset it back to default (if you can) then you can just send it to HTC if you want. But either way, it does need repairing.

[Q] CM6.1 stuck on HTC screen. Recovery too. Help?

Hi all,
Please help!
My Desire is stuck on the white HTC logo screen when I boot and when I go into recovery (Clockwork Mod recovery).
I got into this trouble when using OsmAnd 0.5.1 and it reboooted on me a few times. Each time it would reboot normally, I would restart OsmAnd and it would reboot after a little while. So I (stupidly) started OsmAnd for about the 4th time, the phone rebooted and now won't come out of the HTC white logo.
I have Cyanogen 6.1 (stable), CM Recovery.
Fastboot info is:

What do I need to do to get beyond the white screen? I have tried to rename the CyanogenMod to update.zip but since i can't get into Recovery, this seems pointless.
Thanks,
gretch
Probably to make things easier, you could just use an ruu so it returns to stock, root again and then flash another rom. Might be quicker than actually trying to solve the problem.
I had a similar problem wen I first rooted my desire, I was stuck on the boot unpack screen & wo'dnt go any further. I basically started the hole unrevoke3...

[Q] Still looking for a solution

Right first things first
my desire was having the random reboot problem after updating to 2.2 then it turned off and now wont boot up at all.
it is stuck on the htc logo,and wont enter recovery either
I can go into Boot loader and Fast boot to flash Ruu's and pb99img.zip files
And they complete successfully but the phone still goes back to the Htc logo
I have the Hboot drivers installed,android Sdk installed but cant recognize because cant enable debugging because i can't get into the android os.
The phone is unbranded but i don't have any back ups for it .
Also made a gold card and flashed stock Rom but still back to the Htc logo it goes.
Any help would be very appreciated i have read and read the forums for days but cant seem to find the exact problem and solution.
Also software version is 2.29.405.5

when it reboot does it vibrate 5-7 times sometimes ??
still looking for a solution
No does not vibrate at all just stays on Htc logo, and stays on that the screen goes blank for a second or 2 then back to the Htc logo till i pull the battery ,goes to H-boot with vol - and power button and thats about it,
Did you make sure you had a "gold card" before flashing?
Flash to an unbranded ROM, 2.29 Froyo
Did you wipe your cache memories, including devalc, and user data before flashing?
If you didn't do so before, you will be stuck.
Sorry, but maybe the gold card was not good.
yeah used the Goldcard , i cannot wipe the cache though because cant get into recovery,when i select it it just goes back to Htc logo.
have you given the freezer idea a try..?
it might be because of the cpu/motherboard over heat issue
Yeah tried it in the freezer for about ten mins no luck.

If you can boot into the bootloader, try flashing a PC36IMG.zip of the RUU through the bootloader. I don't have one handy, but I'll see if I can find you one.
I'm not sure how flashing to/from Sprint works. Are you trying to unroot? If you are, then you need to flash the unrevoked s-on zip in recovery before running the RUU.
Not good. I had this issue and spent days trying to fix it. Luckily it switched to S-ON so I was able to get it replaced at the sprint store for $35.
if you can use bootloader or recovery i would try flashing the latest sprint radios
Try this if you're unrooting back to stock:

Can you get into the bootloader by vol down + power buttons until you see the skating androids? I'm assuming so since the info you posted is from the bootloader.
If so, put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your SD and boot into the bootloader. Make sure that it's named correctly & not PC36IMG.zip.zip. By default, you should only see PC36IMG in Windows because extensions are hidden. You'll still be s-off if unrevoked or unrevoked forever was ever used, but you'll have a bootable phone.
i tried the link which provided the 2 PC36IMG zip and followed those directions, but when I flashed the unrevoke s-on zip is aborted b/c it couldn't verify. so now instead of 5 vibrates and blank screen with green flashing light its just rebooting the white htc evo. but something did work b/c now my hboot screen shows

What exactly did it say when you tried to flash the s-on zip? I'm assuming you no longer have a recovery?
If not, here's a PC36IMG of Amon Ra 2.3, try flashing it through the bootloader like you did before. If you can get it to flash, choose no when it asks you to reboot then try to boot into recovery. From there you can try flashing the stock rooted rom. In theory this shouldn't work since if the first PC36IMG took you're not rooted, despite being s-off.
Are you following some kind of guide to flash back to Sprint? Are there any steps following running the RUU that you can do?
Recovery here: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
It couldn't verify the system type in the intial flash but i just used the new recovery and it flashed the unrevoked successfully now my evo shows s-on and its updating to the ruu pc36img now.
the link you sent me too earlier has instructions with it and I'm following those to do the ruu.
thank you very much you have been very helpful
i will post after the update is done to let you know the results
the RUU update has completed and it has rebooted to the white evo screen and has stay for the past 3 or 4 mins
so I pulled the battery and turn it back on and still went through the reboot loop of the white evo screen. Im reinstalled the ruu update as i type right now. and as of now my hboot shows:

finished updating and now when it reboot it just sits in the white htc evo screen
How long do you let it sit at the white screen? Sometimes it can take 15-20 minutes.
oh i only let it sit for 7 minutes or so do i need to reflash and update or just let it sit the next time ?
also when you pulled the battery it would boot to eithewr the 4g screen or sprint screen before it continuiously reboot or reboot to white screen
I honestly don't know the best way to go.
I would try reflashing it and see where it goes from there. If that doesn't work, maybe go into Amon RA and wipe CACHE, DALVIK-CACHE, DATA, BOOT AND SYSTEM. Then try the RUU again.

how would i go about getting to amon ra to wipe said files?
now my evo will start and get all the way to the home screen and then restart i mean its better then nothing but i still dont have anything useable at the moment but thanks to all that have help. i have tried to rerun the ruu through bootloader but still not getting a bootable phone. Would it be possible to root the phone whilst connected in bootloader since im not able to connect through htc sync
Also i no longer have root access
Have you flashed the pc36img of amon ra yet? Then selected the recovery option in the Bootloader, then wiping or flashing? You could also flash the latest sprint radio, prl and pri just to be on the safe side.

i used to be able to flash amon ra not when i use it as pc36img zip it loads then checks the pc36img then back to hboot screen.
as of now my evo you get all the way to the home screen where you must unlock it then will reboot
its almost as if it doesn't know how to get any further

What state is your phone in now, s-on, or s-off, its current state, and where you need to go; kinda lost reading through the thread.

Stuck at Screen with /!\

Hey Guys,
I already searched in the whole forum and tried a lot of different tutorials and stuff but i just can't bring my desire back to life... :crying:
I got it today from a friend and tried to update it and after that it was stuck at the white htc screen and wouldn't boot.
However I wasn't able to get into the recovery mode because the phone would jump back to the white htc screen and freeze (sometimes it would vibrate 7 times)
I then tried to recover it with a ruu but i got an 152 error and now i have the black htc screen with the four /!\ in the edges. I tried different ruus, including some from vodafone (because i wasnt sure if my phone is branded or not) but with the vodafone ruus i get a 131 error (so i guess my phone is not branded). i also tried the 2.3 gingerbread image.
When i try to recover it with the gingerbread image it stops at about 55% at system rewriting (or sth. like that)
When i plug it out after this i get the following stats:

I also get the Error 140 from time to time...
I think i might have to downgrade the hboot, but i don't know how, cause i am s-on and can't get any further than the black htc screen (=fastboot)
i also have the adb toolkit, and i tried to force boot it by the command fastboot oem boot... but it froze at the white htc screen and vibrated 7 times
And i dont have a goldcard...
Can anybody help me with this? if you need more information just ask!
this happened to me...try s-off your device with revolutionary...and then get back to stock hboot from alpharev...and then try gingerbread image to install....
good luck...
Thank you for your reply
How can i s-off the device with revolutionary? it doesnt seem to work in the fastboot screen with the /!\ ??? Revolutionary stucks at "Waiting for device..."

You have a radio brick. Few phones are recovered from this state. The only thing you can do is endlessly flash a RUU hoping that sometime it will succeed.
Try the 2.3 RUU in my sig, or the .exe version of it, or some wwe ruu-s.
//Edit: Post 999
Thanks abaaaabbbb63 for your answer, but i think i might found the first part of the solution
I just stumbled across the "fridge/freezer" method and it worked . Simply put your desire into the fridge until its really cold and the ruu will finish the update. (I think its because the radio gets really hot during updating. For example, the more times you try to update it in a row, the hotter it gets and the sooner the ruu stops)
However, now I'm stuck in an Boot circle. Phone vibrates, green htc logo for a few sec, then black screen and the phone boots again.
But i can get into the boot loader with power and volume-.
Hboot is 1.02.0001
i can go into fastboot, but when i try to get into the recovery mode, the phone is stuck in the boot cycle again.
Anyone some suggestions on how to continue this? I think i need to turn s-off to downgrade the hboot if im right but how?
Update: When i try to do fastboot oem boot via adb, the phone vibrates 7 times in is back in the boot cycle
Update 2: Correct me if I'm wrong but I think i have to set up a custom recovery mode like clockwork via pb99.img, right? However dont have time now, will try it tomorrow...
