Hello, My HTC desire is unstable (hard reboot so many time) and i d like to back to full stock rom, radio, hboot, unrooted etc.
But when i try to run a RUU, my phone reboot into HBOOT and the RUU fail (no connection)
This is picture of my HBOOT where RUU fail:

My down volume bouton is down. So i'm limited.
I can use adb command line and reboot in recovery with rom manager.
Any idea how can i restore my phone to stock
Thx
Use bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A
Find and flash the 2.3.3 RUU, nothing else.
If you can't run it from a computer, use the PB99IMG.zip method
I'm looking some help in bortak's topic but nothing works for now.
As i say, RUU start, reboot my phone into HBOOT and the RUU process stop.
I try too the PB99IMG.zip copy in my root of my SDcard but that doesnt work.
Strange
I don't think I've seen that screen either.
Things to try:
- Flash the alpharev downgrader.img from alpharev.nl, then reboot bootloader. I think it should say Alpharev Unlock at the top of the bootloader screen. Then try running RUU again.
- Backup and format your sdcard to a single FAT32 partition. Then put the PB99IMG.zip on there only. Does it detect it and ask if you want to flash it?
- The same thing on a different sdcard just to be sure.

I flashed the downgrader and now i have that when i try to run RUU it's still block after reboot the device
It's like if when i'm in hboot or fastboot, my computer can't communicate whith the device.
Try the PB99IMG.zip method, it removes any possibilty of USB or driver issue. You can run it while not connected to PC at all, just make sure you have enough battery or connect direct to charger (not computer)
When you put the PB99IMG.zip on the sd card, go straight to bootloader (vol down + power). Does it scan for the file? Does it ask if you want to flash?
Have you formatted your sdcard or tried a different sdcard as suggested?

I can flash no problem for that.
Look pic now it's write Alpharev Unlock in top in place of --Revolutionary--
But even after flash i can't run the RUU.

Sorry think I may have missed a step
Flash the stock hboot.img, then try again.
Be specific and say exactly what you have tried so far. I've asked several times, and "I can flash no problem for that" doesnt' make sense
- Are you trying to flash the PB99IMG.zip method as in bortak's guide?
- Does the bootloader scan for the PB99IMG.zip at all? You should see green text flash briefly when you boot to bootloader.
- Have you formatted your sdcard to a single FAT32 partition? Have you tried a different sdcard?

I'm sorry i will try to be more precise:
- Yes i try to flash the PB99IMG.zip as in bortak guide (i copy file in root of sd and reboot in fastboot)
- Yes the bootloader scan and ask me if i want flash. Volume up to yes and down for no. After that my HBoot change like show on the pictures
- No I don't format my SD because i don't think i need it to flash RUU.
Thx u for your help.

So good news is at least the bootloader detects the PB99IMG.zip. So you press volume up, and then just says RUU? Very odd.
- Have you also flashed the stock hboot.img from alpharev?
- Please try to backup and format the sdcard to a single FAT32 partition. I know you don't necessarily need to for an RUU, but you should try it as the RUU is running from the sdcard. I have seen it work before as it rules out card corruption.
- If above doesn't work, try PB99IMG.zip on a different formatted sdcard. Again, the RUU is running from the sdcard, so just in case your current sdcard is corrupt in any way even after formatting. I have also seen this work.
Trying to explore all options here...

I press up and it's flash normaly.
The RUU you see in picture is when i try to flash with RUU. Not when i flash with PB99IMG.zip.
I have flash Downgrader from alpharev. Now i will flash stock.
Same probleme with stock HBoot.
I launch RUU, he found my device, ask me a few stuff (agree-next), reboot my device in hboot, wait and never found it.
I think probleme come from my pc. He can't connect with desire when he is in hboot. May be driver issu of stuff like that.
But when the phone run normaly, i can use ADB command line tool.
You are mixing methods which is confusing...
- Do not run the RUU from PC
- Use the PB99IMG.zip method only. Run it when the phone is not connected to anything. This removes all possibility of driver issues.
- Accept the file once found in bootloader (volume up). What happens next, does it actually or try to install? It should give you progress on screen with [OK] or [FAIL] messages at each stage. Can you reboot normally afterwards into the stock ROM?
- The PB99IMG.zip is definitely from the 2.3.3 GB RUU?

I don't think I mix.
I flash PB99IMG.zip normaly. Phone not connected and it's look like it's work.
When it's finish i reboot my phone normaly
After all that i try to run RUU and it's doesn't work.
I try with PB99IMG.zip from alpharev.nl. Downgrader and stock.
I think i found my mistake...
I only use the PB99IMG.zip file from alpharev.
And i don't extract the rom.zip from RUU.
Work in progress.

You're only changing hboots with PB99IMG.zip method.
I want you to extract the ROM.zip from the 2.3.3 GB RUU, and run that as a PB99IMG.zip.
The methods are similar, but they accomplish entirely different things.
- Look at bortak's guide again, step [7]. You said you had looked at the guide....
- Delete all other PB99IMG.zips from your sdcard
- Then put the PB99IMG.zip of the RUU on root of the sdcard (it should be a lot bigger in size)
- Try again

Yeah you are right!
I think PB99IMG.zip can only flash hboot and after RUU was suppose work from PC.
But you can too flash the RUU without use the application, just extract rom.zip and flash it.
It's working now.
I'm dumb. Many thx for you help :victory:
Haha no worries. The main thing is you got there in the end :good:

If the guide does not tell you to wipe your phone, then dont wipe your phone
Guide you linked doesnt say to wipe anything, and this is quote from official AlphaRev website:
Requirements:
The only requirement right now is that the ROM you're running is rooted.
As techniques such as 'data2ext' have been popping up, these might disturb our finely-tuned flashing process.
Please revert to a rooted stock ROM if possible. Your /data partition is used for temporary storage of important files.

Are you using Data2Ext then? You didn't state that...
Revert to a rooted rom with no data2ext
... Then
CD version
1.download Alpha Rev.iso
2.burn .iso image to CD using a iso burning software eg. Power ISO
3.boot from CD eg. Hold F12 at boot
4.press the Legendary enter
TIPS connect USB when the CD has booted + DON'T TOUCH IT UNLESS IT TELLS YOU TO

Make sure you read everything several times first and understand everything before you do this.
1. You phone will not get wiped while setting your phone to s-off but you will need to wipe it when you flash a new partition table. If you flash a new table you should wipe your cache before taking a backup or it will not fit in the new partition sizes.
2. I would wipe your phone and flash a ROM that doesn't have d2ext or anything such as that. I had mine running Oxygen when I went through this.
3. I'm not sure about removing your EXT partition but I don't think it will cause any problems..though if you're flashing a new table to gain more space the EXT might not be needed. Oxygen runs better without it.
4. Flashing your RUU WILL root your phone again...no need to do that.
Ok i did S-OFF my phone successfully, i have corresponding HBOOT image on my SD card, im in FASTBOOT mode but i dont understand this step:
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

How i can type anything in there? i dont see any console or whatever, i can choose: Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, Power Down.
You need to have ADB installed and you run those commands from CMD on your PC while your phone is in Fastboot.
And have the HBOOT img file in the /tools folder where were you put your ADB files.
Connect your Phone to the PC in fastboot.
You must have Android SDK installed on your PC.
Then run the fastboot command from the Command promt from your PC.
Also the .img file must be in the same place as the fastboot.exe.
I just downloaded PBIMG99.zip flashed it on fastboot and it worked fine, thanks for help guys
Hi guys,
I have a problem where I am trying to flash a rom by placing PB99IMG.zip in the root of my SD card and booting into HBOOT.
HBOOT checks for all the standard files but skips the PB99IMG.zip I loaded as if it wasn't there.
Does anyone know why this could be happening?
I tried different zips, ones I downloaded directly from shipped roms and another one I extracted from an RUU. None of them seem to be recognized, they all get ignored.
Which RUU did you get the ZIP from? And have you called it PB99IMG.zip (not .zip.zip)?
The SD card ur using is it a goldcard
The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait
I tried these ones:
RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Telstra_WWE_2.26.841.2_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_150162_signed.exe
The later one was downloaded straight from the HTC website, after inserting my IMEI number so it's official.
I also tried to make a gold card but it still didn't work. I am also rooted so I shouldn't need a goldcard anyway?
Does the HBOOT on the phone (currently 0.93) have to be the same version as the HBOOT that the zip is expecting?
Found this somewhere else, xda is being funny at my end else i'd reference it properly and give credit where its due.
You can extract the ROM.zip from any RUU to install via ZIP
Start the RUU and once at the first main screen click Start>Run and type
%temp%
now, find the newest folder and in there will be a ZIP file called Rom - copy this to your desktop and rename it PB99IMG. Now copy this to your SD card and start the phone in HBOOT (turn it on whilst holding volume down). It will find the file and start the update. Just follow the instructions...
It will wipe your phone, though

Hello Yoda,
What you describe is exactly what I did. I renamed the rom.zip file I found in the temp folder to PB99IMG.zip (not ...zip.zip).
I booted into HBOOT but the file just gets ignored. I also installed alpharev custom HBOOT to see if S-OFF would make any difference. It still gets ignored!!
Can anyone help?
If not, is there any way to downgrade HBOOT (say from 0.93 to 0.92) without using PB99IMG.zip?
I had same problem with HBOOT 0.93
You need to downgrade to stock Hboot.
I used this tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Follow the instructions ( my phone was not branded , worked for me without a gold card ) , downgrade , after that unrevoked3 , alpharev = S-off Desire
Hi aditirex,
I tried tool you mentioned. I ran the linux version. Everything looked promising, I got no errors but the downgrade didn't happen. I still have HBOOT 0.93 when I rebooted.
Does anyone else know any ways to downgrade HBOOT without using PG99IMG.zip?
(I even tried to format with FAT32 using a card reader, and then the goldcard tool - still nothing)
Anyone? Please?
I really need to get this done to claim my warranty.
I read in another post that you can flash HBOOT using the android SDK:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
But I'm guessing this is an image saved by a nandroid backup.
Does anyone know if I can obtain the img file from PB99IMG.zip?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 . Use one that is not froyo . It should revert the phone to default settings .
Hi,
I just bought a Desire today.
its
S-OFF
rooted
running leedroid v2.3d
thats all I know.
Im downloading the InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 CM7 Rom right now.
How do I get things right without messing up my phone?
pls someone guide me how to install this rom propely and what's the required files etc2
Im really confused right now.
read a bunch of stuff here and couldnt find an answer
hopefully someone would help me out
thanks!
edit:what's the MD5sum for?
it says as a requirement on the insercoin thread that its either a
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which one should I use/download?
the ROM that I downloaded has a md5sum of MD5: b7e9f7e7dc60b79874920dfcde50ac76
please please anyone?
MD5 sum is to chceck if your download was uncorrupted. MD5 of downloaded file must be identical to the one provided in ROM thread ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUMS, if you flash for example corrupted hboot or radio it WILL brick your device
now, what you must do, since you are already rooted and S-OFFed:
1) make sure you have 1GB ext3/4 partition on your SD card, AFTER FAT32
if it is there, you are OK, if not use Gparted (bootable CD) to make one, mount SDcard in recovery and partition your SD
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)
3) boot into recovery, wipe all, wipe dalvik and choose to flash downloaded insertcoin.zip
once it ends reboot, and after 15min it should boot up android, if not pull the battery cause smth didnt work out.
what could have gone wrong:
-your sd-ext wasnt done properly (double check or re-do)
-your recovery was outdated (report back here, i will help you updating it)
thanks for the response!
how do i check for the md5 of my downloaded file?
I have a clockworkmod v2.5.0.7
im downloading gparted now and will the files on to a disc after.
or can I use any partition master apps?like minitool or easeus partition?
please guide me how to partition it properly
its a 16gb kingston class 6
and how do i update my recovery just do be sure
edit: sorry for these noobie questions. I was really shocked how hard it is compared to flashing hd2s and defys
and yeah I have adb installed on my pc with the required files in it. the thing is I never used it. not even once sorry :0
anyway will try repartitioning my sd card now
you can check MD5 with program called HashTAB: once you install it, right click on file, choose properties and choose file hashes panel.
updating your recovery: find topic here on desire forums for clockwork mod 4.0.0.5 - if you download a .zip file you can use a fake-flash method which means booting into CWM 2.5.0.7 then choosing to flash CWM4.0.0.5.zip and this will launch new CWM, however you must do it every time you go into recovery.
if you want a permanent install of CWM 4.0.0.5 download its .img file, check MD5, put it into your androidSDK folder, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt (cmd) type:
cd X:/ANDROIDSDKLOCATION/tools [navigate to your SDK installation folder]
fastboot devices [this should give a serial number]
fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img [.img file must be inside /tools folder]
and it will flash it permanently
you can find a video tutorial on how to partition SD in Desire Android Development sticky thread, its one of the first 3 or 4 threads, videos for noobs, all is there
also in thread tagged [TUT] you can find video on how to use ADB
I just partitioned my sd properly w/ gparted
downloaded the Desire_recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-j_r0dd_mod.zip
what do you recomend?fake flash or flash it permanently?
and could you please clarify this
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)

I downloaded the PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip, what should I place on the root of my SD card?the zip file or the .IMG file?then once I press vol+power I just wait then accept then it will install it?
then after that I just copy the nandroid backup onto my SD card and flash?
one more thing.
what's the best or recommended radio?
note:I cant connect to any data connection.either using 2g/wcdma,wdcma only or 2g only.
I dont know if it's the rom or what.hope its not a hardware issue though
My reception is always full by the way
note:here's what I did. placed the PB99IMG.zip on the sd then turned the device off then pressed vol down + power, a prompt asked for a update.I said yes then asked me to reboot. I answered no then went to clockwork recovery then flashed the insercoin rom after wiping cache and dalvik and factory data reset.rebooted the device and now im waiting for my phone to completely boot.
hope I made everything right
you gotta read more carefully dude
as i said, if you downloaded CWM.ZIP (ZIP FILE) FAKE-FLASH is the ONLY thing you can do with it. if you would have .IMG FILE permanent flasing from fastboot would be the only possibility. SOZ BOUT THAT !!! i just looked at this files, it is not flashable ZIP, this is an .img file packed into a .zip (LOL) unpack it, check MD5 Sum provided inside the .zip file and flash it using fastboot !!!
also some instructions taken from alpharev.nl (they are just under the table with hboots): 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'.
so rename the cm7r2.zip you have to PB99IMG.zip and put it on your SD (not in any folders) then go to bootloader with VolDown+Power, wait around 10 seconds and confirm flashing new HBOOT
after doing this, you cannot simply restore a NANDROID (if a ROM was made for stock hboot, it will not work on CM7 hboot this should be kinda obvious) you must flash a ROM designed form CM7 hboot so, for example InsertCoin CM7 (it is because on stock hboot system files are 250MB, and then on CM7 you have only 145mb, so restoring a NANDROID that had 250MB/system wont work, wont fit, wont boot)
i suggest you read full info available on www.alpharev.nl
best radio ? well i am an up-to-date geek so i always use the newest though you should be fine with any. if you encounter any problems though (with reception or wifi etc) you should consider upgrading your RADIO. however if you will change your HBOOT to CM7 (which is also treated as data++ by alpharev AND Ultimate Online Kitchen cause of the /cache size) you will be able to flash new radio ONLY from fastboot (it is also said on alpharev.nl :If you downloaded Bravo Data++, please notice the /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes from recovery. You can however flash the radio just fine with 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'. Just extract the radio.img from the radio update.zip beforehand.)
about data connection.
go into settings > wireless > acces points (you gotta find it, i dunno how are these named in other laungauges) and set up your APN correctly (you should find correct settings for your mobile provider on thier website, or just google it)
closing remarks:
remember that if ANYONE was helpful to you, hit the 'thanks' button if you got any more questions, i am more than happy to help
thanks a lot bro!
Im now running on insertcoin w/o any probs.
many many thanks for your help.

HELP
What Rom are you using? perhaps there is not enough space on /system for the Rom now with your new hboot. Try flashing the stock hboot.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Not to state the obvious but did you
1. Reinstall rom after changing hboot - necessary i believe
2. Install correct rom for hboot
If this fails you could re-flash to your previous hboot and reinstall whatever flavour of rom you were using
hope this helps
Jamadant
Yeah I'm pretty sure all that's happened is you installed a HBOOT that has different partitions for System, Data and Cache. Therefore you just need to reinstall the ROM. Simply boot into recovery (Turn the phone off, hold volume down and press power, use the volume keys to navigate to RECOVERY and press the power button) From there you need to go into "mounts and storage", wipe everything APART FROM YOUR SDCARD and then install a new ROM.
Hope that helps
Thanks all but the problem is that I longer have the Reflex S ROM on my phone (I removed it due to space).
I tried pushing it to phone via adb but not enough space
I tried to pull the nandroid backup from phone via adb (to free up space for pushing ROM to phone) but no luck
This is the command I used:
adb pull /clockworkmod/backup/2011-07-19.10.12.47/ C:\
but this gives me an error that /clockworkmod/backup/2011-07-19.10.12.47/ does not exist
???
Anyone know of an easier way
I have attached the adb logcat as well

You can't restore nandroid after you've changed hboot. Hboot partition sizes have changed and chances are that you do not have enough space on them to restore the information on the original partitions.

I'm aware of that but I want to pull the nandroid backup to make space to push the ROM to phone via adb
what commands can I use
Why you want adb to copy clockworkmod backup.... just open your SD card from window explorer and .. copy paste on your C drive and delete from your SD card
managed to access SD card from Recovery by mounting as USB
cut & pasted the nandroid backup to my laptop,
copied the Reflex ROM over to SD & installed
but now stuck on splash screen

Configured sd card for reflex rom correctly? You need stock hboot or cm7 hboot to run reflex s (remember to downloaded corresponding version).
I've formatted my sd card, made it a gold card
trying to install Reflex S 2.1.2 ROM as per NeoPhyte's instructions (with Radio)
Do I flash the stock HBOOT after ROM install?
I'm quickly running outta ideas...me thinks I might have to go back to unrooted stock ROM
this will teach me not to fcuk around with my phone AGAIN

One has to flash hboots always BEFORE installing a rom.
Can you not use fastboot its much more reliable!?
Nice guide how to use adb/fastboot:
http://androidforums.com/desire-all...stboot-windows-published-17th-may-2011-a.html
thanks for all the advice
I've been unable to use my phone for the past few days and I'm considering the following options (getting REAL desperate here):
* should I flash the stock ROM? (I've been on the Net, looking for similar situations and 90% of peeps recommend flash the stock ROM)
* flash the HBOOT for Reflex S, then install Reflex S ROM (as per recommendations above)?
The thing is (with option 2); I can't get into adb shell as phone does not detect in Recovery or at splash screen (where I'm at at the moment)...
I've even tried Android Flasher but it does work either!!!
MatDroiD...I know (with your skill & experience) that you can help...please, I need my phone back!!!
You don't have to go into adb shell to flash a new hboot, you can do it in fastboot mode, but you have to have s-off!!! (I assume you have, as you stated before that you followed the instruction on alpharev). To use fastboot you have to have the fastboot.exe (you'll find a download linke if you do a quick search). And then you can flash the correct hboot by following the instruction on alpharev
"1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore."
Hope this helps...
I tried the following:
followed EddyOS guide to install RUU as PB99IMG.zip (as per FAQ)
got this message (which is different from EddyOS post)
SD Checking
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading [PB99IMG.zip]
everything else goes fine, then get this displayed (after pressing YES to update device)
Update in progress...
Do not power off your device
can not roll back hboot version
[1] Bootloader - Bypassed
[2] Radio V2 - OK
[3] Radio Cust - OK
[4] Boot - OK
[5] Recovery - OK
[6] System - Failed-PU
[7] Userdata - OK
[8] Splash1 - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
I chose not to reboot the device & booted into Recovery
Got a black screen with htc phone overlapped with red triangle & exclamation mark
Press volume UP & POWER and ended up in Android system recovery <3e> with limited recovery options (reboot system/apply sdcard:update.zip/wipe data/wipe cache)
Message displayed at bottom
'E:Can' open /cache/recovery/command'
Chose to reboot phone and observed that white HTC splash loaded with silver ANDROID flashing boot animation afterwards
Phone eventually loaded to what looks like Oxygen lockscreen
Unlocked screen and phone went into setup (keyboard, wifi, sync, etc)
At last SKIP, app forced closed
Screen went black, except for signal meter, battery, time (in top right corner)
Removed battery and volume DOWN & POWER to boot into Recovery
same result

The thing is with option 2... is that you don't listen lol USE FASTBOOT
Like i've previously said it's much more reliable, you get mixed results from P99IMG method

I'm going to try something:
Installing this ROM = RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed
hope it works
Hi,
In an attempt to downgrade from HBOOT 1.03 to Alpharev I followed the tutorial in this forum titled "[S-ON][TUTORIAL] Downgrade from a ROM Hboot 1.03 to a ROM Hboot 0.9". Problem is, when I tried to flash misc, I was not using a gold card and pretty much corrupted the partition. After that my phone is now pretty much useless. No calls can be made, does not pick up my carrier, can't mount SD card. trying to install stock RUU crashes both my PHONE and my COMPUTER.
Things I've tried:
Use stock RUU to flash again ( Crashes computer and phone )
Use fastboot to flash stock ROM.ZIP in RUU ( Says RUU is corrupt )
Use PB99IMG.zip on card, reboot, nothing happens ( says image is corrupt or not found ).
Try restore from nandroid ( can't mount sdcard )
I have the original misc partition on my computer, so if i find a way to restore it I can flash it back.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Apart form a walk down to a Telstra dealer and coming back with a new phone?
Thanks =]
link of the forum?
1.03 is htc unlocked you can't downgrade

Sorry, it's unlockable...
I think you got in usb-brick situation.
I'm not sure if you can flash misc with S-ON define?
try "fastboot flash misc mtd0.img" (you can use your misc or donwload from web (keyword: Quick & dirty HTC Desire mtd0.img generator for usb-bricked devices by stevebrush))
What was the file that you named PB99IMG.zip originally? Was it an HBoot .img, ROM...??
Had a USB Brick a week or so ago, when going CM7 > DG > CM7r2...except in haste, I forgot to flash the r2 after DG and tried to flash ROM. OOOPS!!! lol. When I loaded CM7r2.img and renamed PB99..., I must have loaded the wrong file and got the same response you did. Tried again, got it right this time and phone updated and rebooted, all good.
Sorry, I don't recall exactly what I did to cause the corrupt image, but I know that perserverance fixed it...
