I've got a htc desire - used alpharev s-off
can't seem to get it loaded with a rom - it was so long ago I did the loading I cannot find the way I did it?
I want to get it back to stock I guess or at least remove the CWM recovery and try a newer one -TWRP ??
some details
bravo pvt3 ship s-off
hboot- 0.93.0001
radio-5.11.05.27
when I boot into hboot I get CID incorrect
booting into recovery - its CWM-AlphaRev recovery v2.5.1.8
I have tried to search this but cannot find how you revert back - I have tried using ADB but that hasn;t worked out for me either! When I did it it before it was fairly straight forward - I just don't get what I'm doing wrong??
thanks in advance.

Use the troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of q&a
Search for and then run the 2.3.3 GB RUU

Hi everyone,
I swear I've been searching for this kind of situation within the whole forum but I didn't find a thing about it. If anybody can address me to an existing post related with this, that would be great. Now let's get to the point.
First of all, my Desire is
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

And the erase size is 40000
Two weeks ago I tried to root the phone and install a custom ROM. But I didn't look carefully for information and I downloaded unrEVOked 3.32 without knowing that Clockwork Mod 2.5.0.7 throws errors because it can't mount CACHE or find MISC.
After reading some threads, I got the idea that using unrEVOked 3.21 and AmonRA 2.0.1 should do the trick... but I haven't been able to flash a new recovery. unrEVOked succeeds but when the phone reboots at the end I always see the Clockwork Mod 2.5.0.7 screen, no matter which recovery or unrEVOked version I use.
I even tried to S-OFF the phone with the AlphaRev Live CD but it doesn't recognize the phone because it can't access some folders...
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!
hi,
go to Manage Applications and Uninstall the Zysploit apk
afterwards launch unrevoked http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22152187/reflash_package3.21.exe
will install cmw2518 which works on your desire pvt4 - 40000
hope this help
Hi fragargon,
Thanks for the advice but it didn't work. When it reboots at the end, I still see the 2.5.0.7 version
By the way, I'm running MacOS and I don't know if this version carries that Clockwork Mod you say. Tomorrow I'll try to find that version you mentioned.
Hi. Recently my htc desire started rebooting when I used 3G.
Anyway this time it has gone for good and just hangs at the HTC bootscreen.
I tried going to bootloader -> recovery, but when I select it, it just reboots.
I have tried bootloader -> clear storage, but doesn't make a difference
After that I tried to flash it to the most recent RUU, but get a 131 customer ID error. Does anyone have any idea how I might install a new rom and get it working again - keeping in mind that I cannot boot the phone to a ROM?
Details that I have at bootscreen (back button + power) :
BRAVO UNKOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 0.75.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-4-05.00.11
It is from orange, but when I first got it I unlocked it and installed opendesire.
Thanks in advance.
Check bortak's troubleshooting guide.
I've had a look at the "Advanced Boot Problems - S-ON" section which seems to apply. Problem is in creating the goldcard. The tutorial says I need to be fully booted up ect. Any way I can do this and get the CID from fastboot alone?
What's your carrier?
It's with orange
Try to create goldcard with linux:

Ok, made goldCard and installed RUU mentioned in bortak's guide. Fastboot now looks like:
BRAVO PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-301D
TOUCH PANEL-DYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
so change there. Still hangs at the HTC boot screen.
What next!?
Got any errors when running RUU? If not, send it to HTC. You are back to stock and so there shouldn't be any problems.
I've had it for over a year and a half now. Would they still take it back?
Desire has a 2 year warranty so as long as you have a receipt or something you should be fine. I bought mine from CPW and they just used the serial number when returning-no problems at all.
Hi All,
Returning missus Desire back to stock and have searched and found many guides..
following through, I'm basically installing the following RUU from .EXE file:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe
The phone was previously on Orange and I understand there is no RUU for this.
Upon installing this EXE...it gets to the area about checking the phone and intialising and all I get everytime is an Error 170 USB Connection Error. It can't seem to see the phone.
I am on XP and have tried the phone booted in to its current ROM (ICS) and also under FASTBOOT USB but neither makes any difference...
Any ideas?
Many thanks...
Rich
You're missing proper drivers on your PC. Try to download and install htc sync or driver package from htc dev site and then to reconnect phone.

That's not recovery, that's bootloader. Below that you have meny loking smth like this:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
ERASE STORAGE...
You can use volume up and down buttons to navigate, highlight recovery and then press power to enter recovery.
If you wanna install stock, reboot your phone and let RUU running. My recomendation is to use 2.3 RUU since it's made for all versions of desire no matter of carrier. You can find it on htc dev site.

Well I have put back the stock HBOOT....
installed a RUU which now just gives me a white HTC screen and goes no further....
I downloaded the 2.3.3 correct RUU but it won't see my device and HTC sync won't install the drivers.
Any ideas folks?

Oh my BOOTLOADER now says this:
ALPHAREV
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
Radio 4.05.00.11
And also...within Device Manager my phone is being picked up as Android Bootloader Interface
Ok, this is the trick, your hboot has write protection and ruu can't overwrite radio. From your bootloader I can see you have old radio which won't work with 2.3 RUU. Of course RUU should overwrite the radio during install but it's not posible because of protected hboot...
You have to download downgrade hboot from alpharev site, flash it and you will have unlocked hboot. After that run RUU from PC and it will overwrite both radio and hboot.
But, you will lose s-off and root, so revolutionary again :-D
And don't worry about what's written in device manager, it's normal.

Thanks Nloo for taking an interest...
|I have already flashed Bravo Stock off the Alpharev site .... you can see in my post a change in the HBOOT information from Revolutionary to ALPHArev.....
If I try using the RUU it just says it can't find the Phone again.....USB error 170....
Any more help would be appreciated please...bricked phone!!

You actually don't want to read carefully, not stock bravo but DOWNGRADE that's the right one. After flashing you'll have this on top in bootloader:
ALPHAREV UNLOCK
not just alpharev.
Then after flashing reboot to bootloader not fastboot and then run RUU.
If RUU won't work you can try with rom.zip on sd card but that's a different story.

Hey there,
i actually own a Htc sensation, but my cousin wanted to s off and root his desire, which went all fine.
Now after a year, he wanted to send in his Desireto maintenance, and asked me to to return everything to stock. According to the guides, it was said that is would be sufficient to simply flash a stock ruu to S-on und unroot again.
I flashed the stock ruu via pc, and followed all the instructions. It says flash successful and i can use the desire again.
There goes the trouble, the phone wont boot up anymore only white boot screen with htc logo, no bootloop or anything similiar, all i can access is the bootloader ?
Am i missing something ? can someone help me out please ?
The bootloader says the following :
REVOLUTIONARY
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL SYNT0101
RADIO 4.05.00.11
This is was it given after flashing the officiall ruu , recovery cant be started anymore as well
any help would be appreciated
First you need to flash downgrade hboot from:
www.alpharev.nl
And flash it via fastboot.
Then download 2.3 ruu from htcdev (you have an explanation how to get in my signature) and run it from your PC. Then you'll get s-on and stock and working 2.3 on your device.

Hi,
I'm S-OFF on my HTC Desire.
I've tried to install the Bravo Stock HBOOT from the alpharev website, i've follow the instructions :
You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'.
But nothing say/show me if the installation is good.
I've looked throught this forum and google without found an answer.
So my question is, how to know if i'm running this new hboot ?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
turn off ur phone then hold volume down + power and it will say at the top in pink. stock hboot will say Alpharev (in pink)
