[Q] Yep, I made it, fully bricked.

I have a really huge problem. I think my Desire bricked completely.
I don't really know if it was SLCD or a normal Desire, while unrooting due flashing PB99IMG.zip the phone turned black, stopped, done nothing and vibrated once.
Now it doesn't do anything anymore. When I plug it in and boot the phone, windows says 'Android 1.0' ... And nothing more.
Is there any solution out there or is it fully bricked?

Go for warranty.

Rubbish!
Read and follow this thread

In order to help you more you need to give a full account of what you were trying to do and how as well as relevant device info such as were you already rooted, did you try to s-off and anything else that maybe relevant.
Sent with Desire.

Wrong section!
Also as windows recognizer it, it's not bricked(probably wrong ruu and you are slcd bricked so it boots in fastboot, you just cant see it)
Just run the correct ruu through usb.
Also would you like to share which ruu you flashed?

I also don't know why people are running those pb99img.zip things for unrooting =.=

So, um, urm, I forgot to check for SLCD, I know.
I tried this one: RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe
I think this one was the wrong one.
After trying a lot out:
When I hit 'BACK'+'POWER' the windows device-manager says 'Android 1.0' - and then I have three options, I tried, with vol-down and hitting power.
1.) dunno
2.) reboot
3.) reboot to the bootloader
It is still black. I tried with the alpha-rev-pb99img - booting via VOL DOWN and POWER and hitting constantly POWER UP - it seems to do nothing.
fastboot doesn't respond, adb list also no devices...

That RUU is way too old. You should have ran the 2.29.405.5 one.

Android 1.0 is ADB driver, download Android SDK from here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This will also install ADB driver.

Nope it's the fastboot driver(not the same as adb)
To solve this just boot using vol-down and connect it to usb. Then run the newest ruu(would be 2.29.405 something) This should flash the newer bootloader with slcd support, and you are back up and running in no time.

Thanks for you help, but anyways, the phone isn't responding, normally.
It only says 'Android 1.0' - and nothing more.
ADB DEVICES doesn't list the phone and FASTBOOT DEVICES neither.

Have you tried using a card reader to put the correct 2.29.405.5 PB99IMG.zip on teh root of SD then boot to Hboot (Down+power)?

man in teh device manager on your computer the drivers of your phone are instaled??

Have you now downloaded the latest RUU as suggedyed?
Have you removed the previous PB99IMG.ZIP file from your SDCARD?
Have you gone in to HBOOT and then after some time -VOL once then POWER key to get the phone in to FASTBOOT then run the new RUU?
the thread that I linked you to advises on the very first post how to extract the ROM.ZIP file if you are unable to flash the RUU conventionally.

yep, alternatively I have a link to the PB99IMG.zip in my toolbox:
http://androidforums.com/desire-all...oads-root-users-updated-18th-june-2011-a.html

theoretically phone when you open or even see it , enter fastboot automatically ,you can revive it , is simply just have the drivers installed

happened to me and I could restore it to life , no panic

So now download this PB99IMG.ZIP from this link, copy to your sdcard and -vol + power button, holding both for about 6 seconds.
Once you have overcome this little learning curve........
1. Make your sdcard in to a GOLD CARD.
2. Go to www.unrevoked.com and follow the Desire how to Root.
3. Go to www.alpharev.nl and download the .iso to get S-OFF.
then you will ask be done within a matter of 30 minutes

Can't flash hboot - Fastboot waiting for device - drivers up-to-date

I can't flash cm7r2 hboot neither through pb99img.zip, nor through fastboot.
flashing pb99img causes a short blink of some message (can't even read it), while fastboot is waiting for device indefinitely. drivers are up-to-date, Device Manager shows present Android Composite ADB Interface while plugged in.
I don't know if it is odd but connecting a phone via USB while in recovery shows unknown ADB device in dev mgr but can't update its drivers...
current hboot 0.93.0001, PVT-1 S-OFF
EDIT:
had a problem with recognizing the Android Phone when booted normally - i've manually edited the android_winusb.inf and changed pid value to this corresponding to my device's and have chosen Android ADB Interface as the device's name but still adb shell does not see any device ...
EDIT2:
solution in post#14 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16956020&postcount=14 . thanks guys!

have you installed the required drivers on computer?

I think so, but could you point those required, just to be sure?

Try this: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
If that does not work (works for me on win7) - then try the official HTC drivers (by installing HTC Sync).

I've already used this driver. when the device is in fastboot mode, dev mgr recognizes it, installs drivers and everything seems fine, but when I reboot, it appears as Android Phone with no possibility to install the driver. strange :/
what is bothering me though is not the driver issue but impossibility to flash the PB99IMG through recovery. should I take some special steps to do so?? I put the PB99IMG-cm7r2.zip on sd, change the filename to PB99IMG.zip and try to flash it through recovery. I even tried PB99IMG-downgrade.zip but still no effect.

U have to put the PB99IMG.zip to the root of ur sdcard (not flash it in recovery), and reboot ur phone in the bootloader and wait it to ask u automatically to apply the update..then select yes with volume keys, and confirm the choice with the power button

If your phone is branded you won't be able to flash hboot via PB99IMG.
AFAIK a so-called goldcard might help, but not sure here so you may want to check this out on the forums.
As for the driver, I installed mine by the age-proven method of installing HTC Sync app on the PC and then uninstalling it.

I recall unbranding before rooting but eg. Android Market still says ERA HTC Desire. does it mean my Desire is still branded?

U need the goldcard in the sdcard then

you are probably right, as I forgot that I bought a new one... can't I make a second GC ??

Sure. The goldcard is only sd card connected and it doesn't matter which system you are running.
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

I've made my SD a GoldCard and now get "CID Incorrect! Update failed." or sth like that. I guess I need to instert my original GC?

Guy I had this problem,too.
I downloaded the PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip renamd it to PB99IMG.zip,put it on Sd card but it doesn't work.
Then I opened rootExplorer and saw there that the filme name was PB99IMG.zip.zip (on pc only PB99IMG.zip) so I renamed it via rootExplorer bootet into fastboot & it worked.
Maybe you have the same problem.

installing and uninstalling HTC Sync + making my SD a Gold Card did the trick! both PB99IMG.zip and fastboot methods work.
soooo freakin happy, will try Lee 3.3.3 R5 with dalvik2nand now!

[Q] Help with HBOOT

Hi, I have just bought a second hand Desire for my wife. The person I bought it off had changed the HBOOT and put Oxygen rom on it. She wanted it back to sense so I tried to flash the official RUU via HTC Synch thinking it would change the HBOOT at the same time. Now all I have is HTC in the middle of the screen with an exclamation mark in each corner.
Anyone give me a step by step guide of how to get it working again??.
Thanks in advance.....
Scotty.

cant u just flash the alphrev stock hboot or zip. or reflash recovery??

Read the adb and Fastboot faq via my signature (ignore all the adb stuff, read just fastboot).
Set up your computer for fastboot (or download Fastboot flash utility - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638)
Download this: http://alpharev.nl/bravo_downgrade.img
Boot into fastboot (from off hold back and press power)
Using the knowledge from the FAQ and / or Fastboot flash utility, Flash the bravo_downgrade.img as a hboot (eg fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img)
Run RUU again
This may not make sense looking at it now, but read the FAQ and it will.

I cannot install the android flasher as (on one pc) it says I need .net framework which I downloaded but then it says searching for updates and then says an exception has occured and won't do anything else. And on my laptop it says error checking for updates and then get the exception message.
Any ideas??

Easy way- grab PB99IMG.zip containing bravo_downgrade.img from Alpharev, check md5 checksum (if it's not correct- redownload), put it on SD and boot to bootloader. Hboot will be flashed by bootloader itself

Download and unzip unrevoked, the easiest rooting method known to man. This works on any HTC phone, so if you have a different phone than the Incredible 2, just select whatever phone you have.

Dont worry what is already in there, thats nothing to do with what we're doing. Zune is an MS thing so its not implausable that its there.
1 thing though, is it my sdk tools, or googles? If its googles, check in the folder to make sure adb and fastboot are there, as they may actually be in platform-tools instead. Amend the line you are adding if that is the case. Or just add both, ie:
;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

Remove RUU from sd-card or remove card- bootloader tries to flash it if file is found.
Also in bootloader mode you don't have access to adb- this requires running system or recovery.

Im not sure what information i should post, so if there is something that is needed please ask and i will provide!

Boot the phone into hboot and it will search for the file. When it finds it, it will ask if you want to install. Press volume up to say yes, then after its finished press volume up again to reboot.

S-off allows you to write onto partitions that you normally are unable to. This could be useful for example if u needed to flash a recovery or upgrade radio. Its also quite easy to do with revolutionary so I don't any reason not to do it.

You don't have to do anything to load it. when you boot into hboot it will automatically look for it and tell you if it finds it. All u need to do is press volume up after it finds it.

If you're sure that its not working then you can try running the exe ruu.

Plus a few more lines, but it goes so fast its hard to read it.
I dont think i can manually execute the .exe because i cant reach the phone through usb via my computer.
Also hope your dry wherever you are!

Ok well since this way isnt working you should try running the windows exe version of the ruu (a bit more of a pain)
First download these drivers and install them.
Then download the ruu. Boot the phone into hboot then go into fastboot, and once in fastboot connect the phone to your pc. Once its connected and the phone is recognized run the ruu. Make sure you have enough battery and dont interrupt the process or bad things will happen.
lol im dry, but my power looks like its going to go out soon

Ok, i downloaded the HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe and ran it. It installed the drivers. I booted into hboot, selected Fastboot and connected the USB. At the top of Fastboot, it how has Fastboot USB. The Andriod 1.0 driver said it installed, however i cant see the device in My Computer.
Does this sound ok so far?
Q 2) Once the RUU downloads, do i execute the .exe on my computer, or do i move it to the sd card and execute it from there?
Sorry, just want to make sure i do this correct haha.
Man its raining crazy out there

Sounds good. If you really want to make sure that the drivers are installed correctly and its recognized you can setup adb/fastboot. Then plug the phone in while in fastboot mode and type "fastboot devices" from a command prompt on your pc. If your phones serial number shows up then everything is good to go.
You run the exe from your computer, you dont move it to the sdcard.

Ran the RUU and i cant seem to get it to recognize the connection from usb to phone.

Was there an error? Did you try setting up fastboot and running "fastboot devices" while in fastboot mode to see if it is recognized?
Also i forgot to ask, but what caused this problem in the first place?

[Q] How To Change HTC Desire Splash Screen

After countless of hours trying I gave up and decided to seek help.
I want to change the Alpha Rev splash back to the stock HTC splash.
Tried countless methods from Android Flasher, HTC Sync, ADB Universal Drivers, flashing from bootloader (but he doesn't even recognize the zip on the SD card), trying to install from Google USB Drivers, changing USB ports...but my PC just doesn't recognize my phone.
I have no issues otherwise sending and receiving files when I plug it in and it mounts the SD card like a normal partition but ADB just won't see my device. Commands like "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" didn't work.
I got the response from adb once when the phone's SD card was mounted in Windows 8.
Code:
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
SH0CDPL00216 device
Here are some more details from the bootloader about the phone:
Code:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18
I'm using CarbonROM and 4EXT Recovery.
I consider myself teksavvy but phones I don't know nothing about.
It was a long time ago when I rooted this phone using Alpha Rev 1.8.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So you need to install hboot drivers.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
The file link doesn't work anymore. Use this one:
http://androidrooting.wikispaces.com/HBOOT+drivers+(from+Unrevoked+team)
And then, after you install them, select "fastboot", and use the command:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
From your command prompt.

Also look at bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A
Step [12]

Thanks for responding!
I downloaded the android-usb-driver.zip from the link and followed instructions but it didn't work.
I've attached the image of my Device Manager since I can't post external links.
I've tried the ones with the yellow exclamation mark, first one said it couldn't find any drivers the other one said it's already up to date.
If you're wondering, I've uninstalled all previous drivers like the HTC Sync ones. Purged it with fire.

I've read that guide. It's great but it didn't help.

Your issue is to do with drivers.
People have had a lot of issues on Windows 8. Do you have another machine with Windows 7 to try it? Should be easier.
Get 'fastboot devices' working first, then you can flash things using fastboot.

- You do need to select fastboot from bootloader screen
- Then connect the phone, it should say 'Fastboot USB' or similar on the screen
- Test 'fastboot devices' as above
- You do not flash a zip file, it should be a converted splash1.img file as per the guide
- The .img file should not be on your sdcard, it should be on your PC, easier from the \sdk folder where fastboot.exe is located.

Unfortunately this is my only PC and it has Windows 8.1.
I did everything as said so far, FASTBOOT and HBOOT display the USB message but it disappears after Windows doesn't recognize the phone. I did reboot my phone countless times and rebooted Windows.
The flashing the zip file was some other method from another post, nothing to do with this.
I just mentioned it with the other methods I tried.
I do indeed have the original HTC splash file, downloaded from Alpha Rev website.

Never had to connect phone with Windows 8, so no real experience
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961823
Someone else with Windows 8 would probably have got the drivers working somewhere if you keep looking.

Since ur s-off u can try PB99IMG method, i tried it on my desire s ages ago and it worked. Just nandroid back up first then post ur splash1.img here and il make it

I tried the same method with a similar zip file name structure, can't remember what it was exactly but the bootloader didn't read it.
Maybe this one is different. I've attached the splash image. Thanks!

Here ya go bud, download the PB99IMG and put it on the root of ur sdcard (not in a folder) boot into bootloader, it will ask to update, vol up for yes and thats it dont forget to delete the file off ur sdcard or everytime u boot into bootloader it will ask to update. i also made a black htc splash screen with green htc, just rename that file to PB99IMG
