HTC Desire (Bravo) help to S-Off!!!! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody! I would like to start saying that i remember did this long time ago and now i really dont know how to proceed. hahahahaha
I was looking to change my MildWild Rom to the Beanstalk for HTC Desire (Bravo), however i found the threat where it explains how to do it, but im not able to pass the first step since i need to install a Jmcclue Hboot 250/5/182, but when i use the BP99IMG method for that Hboot, my phone does not take it since it is S-On right now...
My problem is that i really dont remember how to S-Off my phone based on the current Boot information:
*** UNLOCKED ***
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.03.0003
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
DEC 21 2011
If someone could help me with this or give me a Threat where i can have more detailed instructions i would really appreciate it! :good:

First you'll need to downgrade your HBOOT to a version compatible with Revolutionary.
Download and install the PB99IMG 2.3 RUU by following the instructions here. Once thats done your phone will be back to stock HTC Sense, and in the bootloader, the HBOOT version should have changed to 0.93.0001 or 1.02.0001.
Let me know once thats done, and I'll give you further instructions.

Ok so i downloaded the BP99IMG zip file and put it on the SD card root, but when i go into the bootloade the file is not installed, i dont get any prompt or anything like that, if i access the option fastboot it seems to be loading the BP99IMG file but once loaded it does nothing at all, just goes back to the bootloader screen with no further option, am i doing something wrong?

Sometimes you have to wait a while. Turn off the phone, then go back into the bootloader by holding volume down + power. Once its there, leave it for a couple of minutes and wait for a prompt to install the file.

R u sure u the zip is PB99IMG.ZIP NOT BP99IMG.ZIP?

Yes the name is ok, but I actually let the phone for some time and still not able to install the ZIP file i really dont understand what happens cause i reset my phone on bootlader and when i access it, shows that is searching the files on the Sd card, but it recognized the PB99IMG, a little vertical progress bar shows on the top right corner and when it finishes nothing else happens, just goes back to the bootloader screen...
Maybe i will need to actually S-off the phone before try anything else, am i right?

After the black progress bar is done loading, I should ask you if you want to install. Press volume up for yes.

Yeah i got that, but it seems that nothing happens, it just goes back to the menu and does nothing, even if i give it and hour and nothing happened, has something to do the fact that i have it plugged to the computer, don`t think cause i tried both...

He already has unlocked bootloader, read first post, his bootloader details. So he'll need to relock his bootloader via fastboot command
fastboot oem lock
Then follow @Chromium instructions.

Thanks for taking your time to answer, sorry that i reply so late but had issues with my PC, so my question at this point is that you tell me to relock the bootloader... How do i do that, any other post reference for guidance?

Im guessing u have adb & fastboot set up on ur pc. So boot ur phone into fastboot (back button + power) plug in ur phone to pc then open fastboot command window and type
fastboot oem lock
That will relock ur bootloader and then the ruu should work.

Return to s-on

Been trying to get my desire back to s-on to send for repair. Was on cm7 hboot, flashed back to alpharev standard desire hboot and flashed the standard HTC ROM but it still shows alpharev in fastboot. Do I need to flash the alpharev hboot remover then flash the HTC ruu? Or is there something else I need to do ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Flash the alpha rev downgrade hboot then flash the ruu.
Thanks. Will try that when I get home.
Worked like a charm, off to HTC with it now.

Could you share how you was able to return Desire back to S-On?

Many thanks in dispensing your stark authoritarian observations.
I appeared ignorent in decipering the text from ‘fridgeman’ but have arrived at a greater understanding as time has passed.
Many of us are at different places in terms of the knowledge and experiance we hold on these subjects but ignorance can conversly be applied to those who are not aware of this.
HTC Desire
If you are S-Off and want to return to S-On...
1. Enable USB Debuging on your phone
2. Visit this page http://alpharev.nl/ and scroll down to the table
3. Download the ‘Bravo Downgrader: PB99IMG_downgrade’
4. Rename ‘PB99IMG_downgrade’ to ‘PB99IMG’
5. Transfer ‘PB99IMG’ to the root directory of your phones SD card
6 Make sure you have no similar files at the root of your SD
7 On 2.3.3 make sure you disable ‘Fastboot’ goto - Settings - Applications – Disable Fastboot
8 Power down your phone
9 Whilst holding ‘Volume Down’ button press the ‘Power’ button
10 The bootloader screen should appear. Give it a minute to scan for the file and it will ask you if you want to go ahead with the installation, ‘Volume Up’ to select ‘yes’
11 Now you can flash your RUU stock ROM
Why the hell gets this question asked over and over again.... it was answered a thousand times.
I know its been asked many times but what about if you carrier doesn't have a ruu

No ruu = no warranty
(Btw If u are s-on just flash a stock rom, if s-off maybe u could flash some stock hboot, extracting it from a similar ruu...just to make ur phone appear stock and hope)
People should first learn how come back to stock, then starting rooting..

Then I would flash the ruu from htc and sent it directly to them without the detour about my carrier.
I don't have to send it to HTC I must send it to my carrier or take it into my carrier store.

What is "your carrier"? If we can know it
Are u sure about no ruu around?
Sent from my HTC Desire
No ruu for carrier
I'm with a regional carrier called Cellular South.
If I remember correctly, on xda (or a similar forum) exists a guide how to return us cellular back to stock. Just search a little for it.

[Q] DHD unroot attempt failed

Hello everyone!
Good to have you, please help.
DHD A9191 - lovely piece of alu cast
I searched this forum to get me into rooting, then running for 2 weeks Blackout 4.0.4.
Since I couldn't use Skype, and people did not understand me (voice meteallic), decided to switch back.
Loaded WWE RUU, did not worked, device urecognised...
Used Clockwork o load the backed up system.
One I had saved was 2.1, the one I needed to revert back to to be able to s-off or sthg.
Then I was able to run those RUU...
RUU finalised but with errors, red triangle, again reverted to 2.1
another RUU... apparently 2.3.5 went ok. boot. and...
I CANNOT USE TOUCHSCREEN ANYMORE
sorry, im close to tears.
I can boot to HBOOT 2.00.0027
System boot to this Sense3.0 Andro 2.3.5
but I cannot swing unlock ring.
please help.
What to load up now to make my touch screen work again?
It was old phone no guaranty.
I've got another Desire S, two other unformated sd cards... if this helps.
And you guys.
Tom.

If you're still S-OFF, I believe you just need to flash a custom recovery and then flash a stock ROM. You didn't need to unroot to go back to the stock ROM. Instructions on how to flash a custom recovery are in the "need help" link in my signature. Look in the PDF linked from post #7 there.

Now I see I ve found this PDF before but, there is not much about unrooting.
i understand you are trying to tell me to use this guide to flash stock rom with adb (or custom recovery)?
Will I be able to get OTA back. and get the original 2.3.5?
Im worring that touchsreen stopped working because some drivers (digitizer) had been wrong. How to make sure which rom is stock? WWE? but...
Oh.. got chest pain again.
I feel small and alone here, in this phone rooting bushiness I let myself in.

No, flash a custom recovery. Instructions for that start at the bottom of page 9 of the guide. Then download the stock 2.3.5 rooted and flash it normally from recovery.
RUUs are all stock. Digitizer is hardware. Don't worry about the drivers.
No i'm not that guy.
but im scared as sh**.
"before i mess up my phone" ...thats what Im afraid of.
...just noted Teichopsia had deleted his reply. Do not know why?
I hate to ask this, but do you now good original unbranded rom for DHD A9191?
driphter and shipped roms are down.
so first step is to get custom recovery
then upload stock img-zip
then install it with custom recovery?
what if this will not help on the touch screen problem?
I was trying to get help at similar forum, on a similar problem, but this ROM that fixed them did not helped me. Still no touch. Either from phone or that forum..

Fastboot is not the same as ADB. Instructions for flashing something with Fastboot are very clearly documented in the PDF that glevitan and I both told you to read. Unfortunately, I believe you lost S-OFF when you ran that RUU (since your HBOOT version changed), which means you lost Fastboot ability. You're now beyond my understanding; you're going to need to wait for glevitan to show up with his wisdom and hope that he can help you.

Actually attn1 (creator of the advanced ace hack lit) told me that changing HBOOT won't affect your radio partition as it's located somewhere else. So he should still be S-OFF if he had it.

Help in solving bootloader issue

Please I have a peculiar problem, I pray you can assist me. I tried to root my telus dhd using advanced hack kit, after running the hack kit the phone failed to reboot. It stock at a blank bLack screen. To solve that, I mistakenly flash a froyo pd98img on a GB ROM. Since then, the phone takes about 20 to 30 minutes to boot. It will start with a splash screen and vibrate for about 10 minutes then takes another 10 minutes to boot. The problem is I can't enter boot loader and I can't use the hack kit again to return to stock since the phone won't reboot in the process.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks for your time.
And why exactly can't you enter the bootloader? Remove and re-insert your battery, Press Vol Down and Power button to boot into the bootloader.
Can you post the text that appears on the bootloader? Is your phone S-OFF yet?

Yes, it's messed up bootloader. Yesterday on #ahksupport, @attn1 gave an adb command, which after typing it, The phone booted to a black screen with HTC on it. Then he gave me a link to a file which he ask me to paste in cmd window. But unfortunately he changed his mind due my inability to respond swiftly to his question.
I have found the PDF, will give it a try. Thanks
Update: This is the file uploaded to by @attn1 yesterday. I believe it's an extracted and unlocked bootloader. The only problem is that I don't know how to flash it. If anyone can assist me.

It stock at a blank bLack screen. To solve that, I mistakenly flash a froyo pd98img on a GB ROM. Since then, the phone takes about 20 to 30 minutes to boot. It will start with a splash screen and vibrate for about 10 minutes then takes another 10 minutes to boot. The problem is I can't enter boot loader and I can't use the hack kit again to return to stock since the phone won't reboot in the process.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks for your time.

Sounds like a messed bootloader. Go to the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature. Find the PDF in post #7. In that, read about the messed bootloader fix.

Is yours Telus too? I downloaded an RUU intending to flash it using windows, the computer detects the phone but I was afraid. I read in some forums that flashing the RUU in this situation can lead to brick! Pls advise me. Thanks for the reply

Just make sure you read properly how to do it before proceeding. Read the guide bananagranola gave you and follow the instructions. We can help with almost anything but conquering your fear. Unless you want glevitan to connect to your computer via teamviewer and have him press 'next'.

Yes, it's messed up bootloader. Yesterday on #ahksupport, @attn1 gave an adb command, which after typing it, The phone booted to a black screen with HTC on it. Then he gave me a link to a file which he ask me to paste in cmd window. But unfortunately he changed his mind due my inability to respond swiftly to his question.
I have found the PDF, will give it a try. Thanks
Update: This is the file uploaded to by @attn1 yesterday. I believe it's an extracted and unlocked bootloader. The only problem is that I don't know how to flash it. If anyone can assist me.

Ok, this is what you have to do. I sent you the pastebin link in the IRC channel yesterday but afterwards attn1 told me that that solution would not work in your case. You need to flash that HBOOT in this way:
Code:
adb reboot oem-78
wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13152450/ace/PD9812000_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hboot_0.85.0024.zip --no-check-certificate
fastboot flash zip PD9812000_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hboot_0.85.0024.zip
The code will also download the hboot....BE PATIENT IT WILL TAKE TIME TO FLASH...RELAX AND ENJOY

that is normal as you don´t have a RUU in your phone. Does it still take long time to boot in hboot? from there you should be able to flash a RUU as that hboot supports multiple CIDs
I don't think it worked as he is still showing the .007 boot which is froyo.
Question why wouldn't your guide work in this case? Is it because of it being the nam version(pd12000 vs pd10000)? Hboot versions not interchangeable?or something else that as mentioned in the irc

to be strictly plain I am not quite sure..but Attn1 told me that the fix in the guide will only work with just one RUU build 1.32.xxx can't remember now. So he has to flash a new hboot that will allow multiple CIDs...

Can I go ahead and flash an RUU now? If yes, can I flash any gb ruu or it has to be telus?
How do I flash it? Am I going to extract the image and place it on sd card or run the. exe file from computer.

Just one question...when you flashed the hboot did you get the OKAY.finished in the command prompt? Your is still at slow motion for booting??
If the answers to the question are: Yes. No...then you can flash an unbranded RUU and it should work. :good:

No, I didn't get OKAY in the command, It didn't show finished. The phone screen just showed black with HTC written on it for almost two hours. Then eventually it rebooted to white screen withe info I posted above. Yes it's still at the motion boot.

[Q] Problem at startup with DHD

Hey Guys,
I have a big problem with my desire HD. I get it from a friend, he make a update, an after that still boot the DHD only until the bootlogo...
Its all original...with german vodafone branding. S-ON, hboot:2.00 0027...
Problem Vodafone has no RUU Stock roms....I try it with the PD98IMG.zip from a HTC Stock Rom but I get the message in the bootoader after checking: CID incorrect....
So I delete the hboot file in this zip and after checking the zip it comes NO error message, but sadly he get back to the bootloader....so I think that CID request is defined in the hboot file...
I hope everyone can open this file and change the CID to my Vodafone branding (VODAP102) ... i uploaded on zippyshare.
http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/20584566/file.html
Other solutions can be also written of course!
Soory for my bad english
Thanks!
So what is your problem?
Your phone freezes out meanwhile boot animation?
Try boot into safe or recovery mode. Flash a new image and everything should be fine.

Why are you pasting an hboot? that won't help your issue, but will probably worsen it. What you need is to create a goldcard and flash an unbranded RUU.
What update were you trying to flash?

Yes, but I cant create a Goldcard....because my DHD boots only to the bootlogo and then stop it....and next problem.....I have a vodafone mobile phone, and there no exists any rom. in other words all currently available roms bring me the CID incorrect message.
And the update was a official update .....but I cant exactly describe it, cause its not my phone

No. Goldcards are related to sdcard, so one created in my sdcard will not work with yours. Then, you can unlock the bootloader, flash CWM and custom ROM, then from there create a goldcard and flash a ruu.

Yep but to unlock the bootloader with htcdev, It needs the latest hboot, so and they did not have!And to update hboot he sad I need the latest Rom Version, and at the end of the installation comes the user-ID mistake.

I don't get it. To unlock bootloader you will probably need,to update hboot, but not the ROM....you can do all the process in fastboot. If it is ok with you I can help you out via teamviewer

DHD doesn't boot anymore
Hello everybody,
I'm new around here and also a noob when it comes to rooting Android devices. Anyway, I think I might have screwed my DHD while trying to root it. I downloaded the AAHK and followed the steps. At some point the cmd window showed a message telling me that i have more than one devices connected. I don't really know what I did, but my phone doesn't boot anymore. I mean it shows the HTC logo on the white background, but then it turns black and only shows a picture of a phone and a red triangle. And that's it. Can I still save it? Please, help me!

Did AAHK say anything else? What state was the phone in when you ran AAHK on it (unlocked bootloader, Android version, etc.)? What does the phone's bootloader say? Reboot into bootloader by rebooting while holding down power and volume-down.

[Q] HTC Desire HD won't boot

Hi all,
I just joined this website. I got a HTC Desire HD, with Cyanogemod from this website cyanogenmod.org
Since yesterday its stuck in boot screen. The cyanogenmod booting animation keeps going forever. I got into the recovery mode once, and somewhere on another forum someone wrote that I had to click Fastboot. But now I cant get into recovery mode anymore, and my phone wont boot too.
What can I do to make my phone work again?
All help is highly appreciated!
Please provide what steps you followed before current state of phone, are you s-on or s-off, bootloader unlocked or not etc. So that it will be easy to understand the state of ur phone and helo

Hey ramdesai,
I really appreciate your post(and it was really fast too). It was a long time ago that I put Cyanogenmod on my phone, and I used some tutorial to do it. I think this was the tutorial that I used. I also don't know what s-on or s-off is. techgeekal.com/2013/01/14/cyanogenmod-10-1-jellybean-4-2-1-for-htc-desire-hd/

Are you S-OFF or have an unlocked bootloader? if you don't know that then I suggest you do some reading first. There is a guide in my signature where you will find all that stuff.
Check the hboot and see what it says...it is not the same installation for S-OFF than being unlocked

Hiho , i have a problem that my DHD wont start anymore after installing the newest update of the Jelly Time ROM.
USB Debugging is off and i cant turn it on and fastboot was allready on before i flashed it.
If i connect the device to my PC the CWM starts but i cant select wipe/factory reset by pushing the power button because the device will boot then.
