Hi,
I don't really know where to start and have no idea what actually causes the issue, please just bare with me guys as I badly need your help.
Here's the thing;
My Phone was rooted way back using unrevoked method (as far as I remember)
> Radio was upgraded to the latest (afaik)
> I have created a cheap generic GoldCard with Ext2 & 3 which is kind of slow and so I decided to try different kinds of Custom ROM.
> I recently installed GingerVillain (GingerBread2.3.4).
> I enabled apps to sd for protected apps using the Terminal I downloaded from Market.
> I was on the process of moving apps to sd (including those when it suddenly started bootlooping. After 4x of loops, I decided to remove the battery. From there I know something went wrong.
> I normally would just go to clockwork recovery and do the reinstallation process in rectifying such issue, but to my surprise I was not able to boot into recovery as well and stucked in Fastboot & Hboot and if I try to boot normally, then it will be up to HTC logo only.
> I also noticed that security flag was turned on (S-ON) wherein it was turned off when I bought it and still Off after I rooted using unrevoked method.
> When I checked the SD it was corrupted already and had to format & repartition it using Ubuntu's Gparted Partition Utility. (I bought a new one as a replacement but was unable to make it a GoldCard as it probably requires that it is inside your phone and running in OS)
>> Did some research for few days and here's what I've tried so far. <<
- Tried to use AlphaRev to turn off the security but was unsuccessful since it requires that you have to be inside the OS (ROM) which is not possible at the moment.
- Tried to use RUU to just unroot it and get back to zero but still unsuccessful, it encountered USB Connection Error....many times.
- Tried getting the rom.zip inside RUU and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip, loaded it using hboot but still unsuccessful, it says CID Incorrect! Update Fail.
- I read that downgrading Hboot would most likely resolve the issue but I really have no idea how to do it, no clear steps are roaming out there upon doing my research.
- Some says, you can push the ClockWork using ADB but doing it actually fails....Error....and no clear steps.
I don't really know what kind of issue(s) I am facing now guys.
I am totally on the edge of my seat.
I must have been missing something along the way...(I know I am)
If somebody would be helpful enough to point & show the way in resolving this issue, that would be greatly appreciated (step by step maybe).
These are the details in my Hboot UI that would hopefully helps (if that will make sense).

{UPDATE......ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED...Read my post down....}
If you do not have a goldcard you must find an RUU specifically for your phone. I'm on Vodafone UK and it appears there are a couple of Vod UK RUUs out there but only one of them would flash correctly. The others left me in a state like yours.
Persevere I believe all is not lost.

So Sorry for the long delay...been busy and Sick these past days...
Ok here goes.
The steps will be assuming that we have "Exactly" the same issue so if ever along the way you think that something might have gone different then I suggest you discontinue following the steps as you might end up with a Totally Bricked Desire. (which I am not liable of )
Credits to the people who created ALL steps I have copied and pasted in here!
Here's what I did in my case;
(**Make sure your unit is totally charged up)
Step 1:
Downgrade Hboot & Unroot (restore shipped ROM) your device;
- Get the latest RUU for your region (make sure it is for your region) from Shipped Roms. (remember to check the md5 sum, we don't want to download a corrupted file )
- Run the RUU as administrator.
- When it gets to the portion of asking you to plugged in the device,, click Start and type %temp% in the search box, it will come up with a folder named Temp,,Open it.
- Using the search bar (again) in the temp folder that we just opened, type in rom.zip when you see rom.zip, move it to desktop or anywhere you like, then you can cancel the opened RUU process.
- Create GoldCard (other threads doesn't suggest to use a GoldCard YET as the ROM will run even without a GoldCard, but in my case...Ordinary SD Card doesn't work for me at all leaving me in creating a GoldCard). Format the SD Card to FAT32 afterwards.
- Rename the rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip
- Copy it to the SD Card root
- Boot to Hboot (Vol- plus Power)
- Hboot will then detect the zip and will load it up, Wait for few minutes and grab a cup of coffee .
- When it finds PB99IMG.zip, it starts to load it;
It gives the next options after few minutes from the initial key press of Vol- and Power key.
Parsing………………….[SD zip]
1. Bootloader
2. Radio V2
3. Radio_Cust
4. Boot
5. Recovery
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
Do you want to update device?
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No
and so we would want to choose Yes
During the Process, it will reboot and will reload PB99IMG.zip again and will continue with its process....if ever you got stucked into HTC screen again after it reboots during the process, you can pretty much remove the battery then boot to Hboot again and it will continue with its thing.
If it asks for a reboot, choose Yes.
If you pressed Yes, then:
Update is in progress..
Do not power off your device.
1. Bootloader -OK
2. Radio V2 -OK
3. Radio_Cust -OK
4. Boot -OK
5. Recovery-Unzipping/Updating
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
If it asks for a reboot again, choose Yes.
On rebooting, HTC screen shows up for a few seconds.
Then a green Down arrow in a green circle shows up for another 5-6 seconds.
Then, HTC screen again.
Finally, HTC screen disappears and the HTC Quietly brilliant logo shows.
Your device now boots into the Android phone.
DONE with Step 1...your phone is now unrooted, Hboot downgraded and is back into its Shipped State.
**If you encountered error during the initial loading of PB99IMG then chances are the ROM you downloaded might not be the one for your device, remember that the ROM vary from region to region so you must make sure you have downloaded the right one....
Step 2:
S-Off your device
- AlphaRev will guide you here
**no need to NANDROID since you don't have anything to...
**This thing will actually install its customized CWM Recovery which you'll find it COOL......& will also upgrade your Hboot again
Step 3:
It's time to ROOT your phone again.
- Use Unrevoked Method,,,the EASIEST way as far as I know.
Step 4:
Flash a custom ROM....I'm pretty sure you know how to do it.
I suggest flashing GingerVillain 2.7 [GingerBread 2.3.4] (not 2.8,,,still BETA I think)
- Make use of AlphaRev's Customized CWM Recovery.....in my case I partitioned the SD Card using AlphaRev's Customized CWM Recovery instead of using Linux's Gparted Utility (choose 2gb of partition if you have a bigger SD Card Space and 512mb of swapping)
- In making sure everything will work well...I did the following things;
>> Restart CWM after formatting and partitioning the SD Card.
>> Resatrt CWM after wiping.
>> Restart CWM after copying the custom ROM to SD Card.
DONE...The Rest is up to you.
To Moderators and Geeks in here......please correct any steps I have provided in here if you find it a bit OFF so as to help others who have encountered same issue as I had.....Thanks.
CREDITS TO ALL HARDWORKING PEOPLE AT XDA WHO TOOK THE TIME AND INITIATIVE TO POST ALL STEPS POSSIBLE IN RESOLVING SUCH ISSUES....
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.
Edit:
I have learned that buying Cheap and Crappy Sd Card will not actually save you money but will further make your day worst.........so my suggestion is to buy the BEST one......just think of it as an investment (LOL!)
Comments?? Anyone???

Hi All...
I have a prom with my Orange DHD...I was updating to the latest OTA but the update failed and now all i get when i start up is the green circular arrows for a few seconds and then the red triangle with exclamation mark.
I can access HBOOT and FASTBOOT menus, but Factory Reset and Recovery do not work (bot result in the red triangle)
I had a look on the SD card, but no update files were on the root of the card...
It looks like the download of the rom was corrupted and not saved...
Having done a bit of research here i tried to put a stock PD98DIAG.zip from a 2.3.5 WEE RUU onto the SD card root and went to HBOOT, but that failed as the checks failed with the below errors:
no image for PD98DIAG.zip,
no image or wrong image for PD98DIAG.nbh and PD98IMG.zip etc.
and also as the CID was incorrect
(assuming my phone CID is ORANG001, so not accepting the WWE?).
So...my question is before i get HTC to take it back as its under warranty and lose my phone for up to a month (i go on holiday next week and am not back till Easter - but would liek it with me on the trip), is there a method i can put a rom on to at least get the phone to boot and then do an update again?
When i plug the phone to usb the phone recognises the connection but my pc asks for Android 1.0 drivers (even though HTC Sync and the HTC Drivers are installed)
Can i run any RUU from my PC to get the phone up if the PC isnt loading the HTC Android 1.0 drivers?
I guess what i'm looking for is step by step instructions on getting the phone back up conisidering all i can currently do is access HBOOT...What are the risks of rooting going wrong and bricking the phone?
the HBOOT details are:
*** LOCKED (OOW) *** ->what does this mean?

Thanks guys...
Your phone isn't rooted so you can't install any other roms. There's various guides on how to root your phone, some easier than others depending on the stock. Personally I had to update to a newer rom that had an exploit in it that allowed me to install an earlier version that allowed rooting. From there you can then permanently root the phone.
The best thing would be to search for guides on rooting a desire hd on orange (I'm on 3 so may be slightly different), then you can always reinstall your stock rom if you want

Your phone isn't rooted (the LOCKED message on bootloader screen) which is why you can't flash the PD98 image or any other ROM/RUU for that matter that is not digitally signed by Orange.
If you have warranty I don't suggest rooting it as this might void the warranty, especially if your phone still doesn't work after rooting. Perhaps it would be easier for Orange to fix it?
Hi guys!
So here i am....
I had some problems with my htc running on CM 11, and i decided to go to firmware again, yet i forgot that i had s-on... so i had relocked the bootloader than i had unlock it again with htcdev token, after this operation the phone is not starting the cm 11 system. it goes only to the cm blue circle logo with loading and nothing more happen.
I thought that i will reinstall the rom from recovery.... and now i have a problem the recovery don't see the interior memory (SD?) where is the rom.zip. and i am not able to make the wipe or factory reset.
So i thought that i will use an external SD card, butwhen i had placed the rom on the sd card and plug the card in the phone the hboot shows some info that img 0p6bdiag.zip not found no image or wrong image.... and after i go to recovery form the bootloader and select the external sd card the recovery shows that the card is empty... but it is not. i tried to make aslo the rom by adb sideload, there is the comunication because it is sending the rom to the device but it is not installing it on the device...
AAA and one more thing i had extract the boot.img from the cm11 rom to the phone several times with no help
below the info from bootloader:

Guys, there's a problem.
Put Busybox on the phone, not from under recovery. Phone will reboot and then, depending on the logo htc one. Well, after a little manipulation, I decided that killed the system got into recovery fully format phone system partition, hoping to put the drain firmware.
If you try to do everything according to the instructions of a cap on the moment when the sew through ARUWizard, it requires me to update Ruth to version 1.16.401.1. The version on the phone, he can not identify, after the start of the update, the program goes into an infinite load (waited about an hour).

OS-
As I understand it , the problem is HBOOT. How to change it ?
Ok i messed with this poor device so badly that i can't tell you...i successfully flashed cm12.1 nighlty but while charging the device simply turns off (i opened a thread about this topic but no one replied) so when i wake up in the morning i had no alarm. i decided then to try some other custom roms but in order to do that i had to RUU my device. Here comes the problem, i found many RUUs for this model but only 1 seemed to work...The RUU process stops at the very end with a message saying the it halted due to large image update...so i tried instead to flash the RUU via fastboot but notihing changed, the zip sent to the device is too large.
i have 3 solutions but i need ur help to make em work...
1) unlock the bootloader and restore a backup ==> the problem is that i simply can't re-unlock it...i tried everything (new unlock token, without sd card, with sd car, without sim card, with sd card; it simply remains relocked)
2) find a suitable RUU for my device that is less then 1 gb ==> the problem is that i can't find it anywhere. so i ask you, is it possible to clean the system partition to free space for the RUU? How?
my device info are:
