[Q] Can't install any RUUs

I've just got a Desire on Orange, which I'm trying to debrand. I've made a goldcard, but when I try to install a stock RUU (with the phone connected in HTC sync mode etc.), the installer always quits just after the inital 'setup' progress bar.
I've tried 3 or 4 different RUUs, and they all quit at the same point. Has anyone else had this problem?
btw, I'm on winxp sp3 and have admin rights

I would advice you not to press sync mode on phone, just connect usb and then open and run RUU. Also are you using wwe version?
And details of which firmware you are on would be helpfull. And does any message pop up when it quits?

Thanks for replying
I've tried to install the generic Froyo HTC 2.09 WWE RUU from [FAQ] HBOOT 0.83 / 0.92 / SLCD - rooting and recovery (can't post links yet, sorry)
and a couple of others, including Froyo HTC WWE 2.10 and HTC WWE 1.21/1.15
Every installer has the same problem. Plug in phone, run installer, the progress bar fills up and then it quits. No error message.
I tried updating drivers, as in this thread [Guide] Drivers & RRU Errors Solved in case it was anything like that, but it hasn't made a difference.
Phone details:
Firmware ver. 2.1-update1
Software num. 1.22.61.1
HBOOT 0.83, SLCD screen

Remember you need a gold card in the phone to install a non-Orange RUU

Yep, done that. I haven't taken it out of the phone since I made it. Does the version of HTC sync I'm using make a difference?
I downloaded the version offered on the HTC website, instead of the one that came on the memory card. I've just installed the memory card one now, i'll try everything again using that, including remaking the goldcard.

Having played around with it the other HTC sync installation, it's still not working...

Help unrooting desire

Hi,
Im looking at selling my desire and need to unroot it.
I have download a tmobile RUU, tried to run it but i always get
the
error 170 - usb connected failed.
I have htc synced installed on my pc, it sees my desire and comes up with normal stuff, and on my phone it says connected.
Im on hboot 0.93 , android 2.3.3 software version 3.14.405.1
its a t mobile branded desire. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
Phil

found solution - 2 infact.
Firstly i could do it straight from bootloader menu, (i.e. load up into bootload, plug in usb then work)
And for htc sync i just unistalled and reinstalled and worked.

HTC Wildfire S, HTC Sync and Windows 8.1

So here's my situation:
I'm trying to unlock, root, and flash my friend's HTC Wildfire S. I have a Windows 8.1 laptop and we don't really have feasible access to a Windows 7 machine. The Wildfire S does not seem to want to get properly recognized though:
I've tried:
- Running HTC Sync as admin
- Trying two version of HTC Sync
- Tried getting just the USB drivers of it
- Tried USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports
- Tried to use the unsigned drivers method
I've tried everything I can think of... I just want to unlock the dang bootloader... What can I do?

Fixed it by gaining access to a Windows 7 computer. Even after that it was still a nightmare to get working. 13 man hours later and the phone is unlocked, rooted, and running Marvelous CM Android 4.1.2. I'll hear tomorrow about whether it's all in good order or not from my friend and maybe make some tweaks.

Where'd you find the USB drivers?

Hi, Elemein.
I'm not trying to unlock or root the device, I'm just trying to get Sync to see my device. I've been all over the HTC site and Sprint's site and can't find anything. I had a copy of Sync on an old PC, version 3.2.20. I have an HTC Evo View.
Any info you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi! If you still need help, try this driver for HTC devices. It worked for me on W8.1 and HTC Sync finally found the phone.
sendspace com file wlc1ep
First of all i've installed HTC Sync 3.3.63 with its own driver, and then overwrited with this one.
ps: apparently i can't use urls in my posts yet, so you have to do puzzles. ;)

Yeehah!

Jippi!!! This file saved my sanity.! First I was a bit worried by the installation procedure which didn't give any sign of wether it had succeded installing anything. But then I plugged in the Wildfire, started HTC Sync, and voila!
Now I'm going to try to root it and change ROM.
Tell me anyone if you don't understand tmc_IDM's cryptic link or if the file is removed, I'll provide a new link.

It would be nice if you upload the driver here. I have searched on sendspace but I didn`t found it. Please upload it here. I have Windows 8.1 installed and the PC doesn`t see my phone. Thanks

0.93.0001

rev.alpharev.nl

It just says waiting for device

You got the drivers installed?

which ones?

The HTC drivers. Download and install HTC sync. That will install the drivers. Then disable it so it does not interrupt the s-off process. Follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032467
But use rev.alpharev.nl website instead of revolutionary.io.

It seems I only get halfway and it sometimes don't register the phone.. in device manager i get a code:10 on the phone.
I'v tried many things to fix this but nothing seems too work
Either way I thank you for your help so far as it seem everything is done right and should work
my computer just doesn't want to co-op.
Edit: the app starts and everything seems well, but then it boots to fastboot and get stuck waiting for fastboot

FYI: did this on a computer with windows 10 and then tried it on one with 7 or XP I can't remember witch one because i have both on the same computer. but it worked, so the problem seems to be that windows 10 can't install or handle the old drivers properly.
