Help restoring HTC Desire to stock

I have a HTC Desire (Bravo), rooted and running CyanogeMod 7.1:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
I understand there are several threads about restoring, but I am wondering about these specific versions and S-ON. Can anyone please advise is it safe to use
PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
to restore to stock? Can I just copy it as PB99IMG.zip on a SD card, hold down and flash via HBOOT?
I am sincerely grateful for any help!

Hello! to revert your phone back to stock you need the RUU, you can grab the HTC desire android 2.3 ruu here:http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Unzip it, run the program, follow the instructions and BANG your s-on no root total stock htc desire

Use the latest 2.2 RUU instead of the 2.3 DEVELOPER RUU, because aside having 127MB internal memory it brings nothing much more.

Pick up a 2.2 RUU, because the 2.3 RUU for Desire is without warranty.

Actually HTC honour warranty on 2.3

Really? Hmm.. I though that not, because HTC said that is only at own risk.
But maybe you´re right

Hi there. Similar - but different - question. Water damage. Phone went to insurers. They fixed it and sent it back 8 weeks ago. I downloaded and installed 2.3 from htcdev. Seemed to work ok for some weeks. Now battery almost useless....it runs out in less than half a day. It was fine before it went. I can't start camera app or camcorderor any camera-dependent apps. I also dont see charging light when phone connected. Question(s) is do you think it's the 2.3 update or is it symptoms of previous damage - water? Should I roll back update or would the insurers accept it with 2.3? If htc accept 2.3 then insurer should too no?
Oh and to roll back to 2.2 can I just flash stock 2.2 WWE? Unlocked unbranded Desire

Charging light work when phone off? If not, hardware

I have tried to run the program and i seems to work untill it's waiting for the bootloader. It keeps saying waiting for bootloader and after a while my phone just reboots and comes with an USB connection error. Can somebody help me ?

Yes, my guide

[Q] Desire stuck at HTC screen with warning Triangles in all 4 corners.

Hi, hoping someone on here can help me. I bought a desire off a friend that was running Oxygen Rom. It is S-off and has oxygen r2 Hboot.
I wanted to flash stock rom on it but couldn't get the HBoot to change. I downloaded the downgrader and followed the instructions but it wouldn't change.
I tried flashing the official RUU over the top and now am stuck at the screen with the warning triangles.
Is there anybody that can talk me through the process of getting it working again??.
Thanks in advance
Scotty.

this should be covered step by step in the stickied troubleshooting guide at the top of Q&A.
how are you trying to flash the hboot? through fasboot command line/android flasher/PB99IMG.zip?
did you flash both the downgrader and stock hboot? (not sure from your description)

Please post information from your hboot (top left corner).

Driving me wild (fire)

Hiya folks!
I unlocked my daughter Wildfire S hboot via HTC-Dev when it was first released and upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 EU to get rid of the 3 bloatware on the original rom, I did not root at the time as it was still in its very infant stage and did not wish to give my daughter my Rooted Desire through bricking hers!
Now the time has come to root as she is constantly telling me of a space shortage...I know we've all been there..so thinking the Hboot was still unlocked I ran through HTC super tool 3 , tried a couple of times with no success so realized there must be something I've missed, I checked the hboot was still unlocked in the pink text I believe it was to find that it no longer states unlocked, locked or any extra text just,

So my question is what is the next step? can I unlock it again some how?, I've rooted and I rom hop constantly with my Desire but this phone is being a royal pain! So did the upgrade relock the Hboot? cheers in advance folks,
Android Version 2.3.5
Sense 2.1
Soft Number 2.13.401.2

Go to htcdev and follow instructions to unlock your bootloader.Once it's unlocked, you should see "UNLOCKED" at the top when you boot ur phone.
And then you can root the phone.

OK Ta I wondered if I had to do it again, I guess as I have already updated to 2.3.5 from the first time I can skip that part and precede to straight step 1 ?

Did you tried this? I had problem with rooting my wfs, I can't find script i used right now. I'll update this post if i will find it.

What happened is that the 2.3.5 update changed your HBOOT from the previous one.......Go to htcdev.com start the unlock process and when prompted to download an RUU........ just download the RUU with the software more than the one you are having..... in your case the Europe RUU and just follow the instructions thereafter.....

Right got 'ERROR 190 ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED' please upgrade to 2.13.401.3 to apply this RUU, can I use a different RUU csoulr66 other than EU?
Wish I'd done this in one hit rather than in parts! Thanks in advance all!!!

You're 100% sure that you grabbed proper RUU? According to error you get and htcdev it should be this:
HTC EU 2.13.401.3 PG7610000 - sry can't give you direct link because of forum limitation for users under 8 posts

have you made a goldcard????? Because you will need one to run an RUU

I have a unlocked phone but I never hear about goldcard, are you sure it's needed ?

A goldcard is used to debrand the CID. Without a goldcard, you cant install diags/downgrade/etc because the CID is branded with your carrier.

I had this problem originally, all you have to do is run a stock rom RUU (From the list supplied by football in the stickies) with a goldcard. Then go back to the HTC dev website and upgrade the hboot.

All done, I could not down load any of the links from 'footballs' thread, busy..no free slots etc , so I found a Spanish site and upgraded to 'Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989' then all worked as it should following the instructions on the HTC DEV site, rooted and running SENSELESS_2.3.5_jermzii_v.1.2, thanks all!!

[Q] Looking for specific RUU

Hi there,
I have rooted Desire with a Gingerbread ROM. It is still S-ON, but I would like to have it S-OFF. I've looked at Revolutionary, but it requires a stock ROM.
The last time I tried to install a stock ROM, it crashed on that warning screen (/!\). I sent it to get fixed (had some other issues as well) and received it with a stock ROM.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but discussion around here has led me to believe that RUU's come with hboot and hboot can't be downgraded. And so I figured the problem might have been that I was trying to install a RUU with a lower version hboot.
So this time I want to be sure the RUU comes with hboot 0.93, but the RUU descriptions don't mention this.
TL;DR:
I could be completely wrong, but I think I need a RUU with hboot 0.93. Anyone?

hi im using this one but you need to be unbranded or you need to use a goldcard... see bortak's guide for more info

Thanks. Worked great!

I did a very, very stupid thing. Help!?

Sending back my Desire to HTC for repair due to constant rebooting issues. Wanted to put stock ROM back on, unroot and S-ON it but somehow managed to be a total retard and just ran the RUU relevant to my phone. Having rooted it and going through several custom ROMs previously (most recently supreme1.2), I am disappointed that I didn't use my brain in this case, and now I have to salvage it.
So. My Desire.

I can boot into either HBOOT or FASTBOOT, however it will not boot into recovery. I have used both methods listed for S-OFF in [2]: ADVANCED BOOT PROBLEMS in bortak's troubleshooting thread (why didn't I start by reading the forums!), both claiming to be successful, however I still cannot boot into recovery.
I would very much appreciate any help. I am hoping that the fact I can boot to FASTBOOT of HBOOT will allow me to somehow fix this, but so far I have been unable to work out how.
I understand I am worthy of flaming heavily right now, so do knock yourselves out, as long as someone has a suggestion for me...

I was looking at running the downgrader but hadn't gotten round to it yet. I will give that a go. Is the 2.3 RUU you mention available on shippedroms do you know?

Yes it is, but I heard a few problems that people had with version from shipped roms. In my signature you have the explanation how to get it from htcdev.

Yeah, I did those things and I now have a fully functional unrooted s-on desire, that crashes intermittently all the freaking time. Just like before!
Gonna send it back to HTC, wasn't keen on this line of the email they sent me "Bear in mind though, should our engineers determine that the fault you are experiencing is caused by physical damage, wear and tear or illegal software, it will not be covered by warranty." mind.
We shall see what happens. Thanks for the help though.

Don't worry, I sent mine 2 week ago, but because of buttons. I just flashed 2.3 with downgrader, got s-on, and got my phone repaired in warranty.

You only use downgrader if you have oxygen r2 or cm7r2 hboots.. or am I missing something?

If you have Alpharev or Revolutionary hboot with stock partition layout it is write protected and if you run ruu you will have your phine working properly but you will still have the same hboot and s-off, also the radio won't be overwritten.
So, if you're sending your phone to HTC with warranty s-on is inevitable.
