[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorvital:
So Sorry for the long delay...been busy and Sick :o 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 :cool::cool::cool:)

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 :D )

- 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 :D.

- 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 :D

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.... :rolleyes:

Step 2:

S-Off your device

- AlphaRev will guide you here

**no need to NANDROID since you don't have anything to... :D:D

**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!)
