[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brynte5:
i´ve been trying to fix my desire for a while now and i´m very close to giving up!

i´m rooted with s-off and have alpharevs hboot cm7r2!

i was running an old miui rom (xj i think) and i got constant issues lately with restarts, hangups and such!

that´s why i decided to try to go back to the original rom (stock)!

i watched some videoguide on youtube, how to unroot back to stock and followed that!

i just wanted to get this done asap and i should have read more about it, before attempting do go through with this, but i didn´t and now i´m really stuck and i´ve been trying hard to get the desire functional again, but i´ve failed and i´m running out of options!

the mistake i made was (i think, after reading more about this) that i tried to install a ruu to get back to stock, with alpharevs hboot still installed!?

anyway i´ve now tried to install several diderent ruu, but none have worked (i still have alpharevs hboot installed)!

now, i´m at a point where, all that happens when i push the power button (it´s the same whatever button combo i push), is that i see the htc logo, with warning symbols in all 4 corners!

using android flasher though, i can actually enter recovery mode, which has given me some kind of a new hope to get the desire running again!

but none of my backups work!

i´ve tried to install a new rom, from recovery and everything looks fine and it says that it installed successfully, but when i restart, i still end up stuck at that same screen with the htc logo and the warning symbols in every corner!

i don´t know what to do next?

so i would really appreciate some help!

my guess is that trying to install those ruu, wiped the data from the phone and i don´t know if i can replace that?

maybe all of these problems is because of the fact that i still have alpharevs hboot still installed..., but how can i get rid of that, when all i can do is enter recovery mode and the options available from there...?

Now on hboot 1.02.0001 I cant S-OFF with Revolutionary, it says "Zerging for root" and then it fails.

Back to stock

Hello!

Could anyone point me to a good guide for taking my new desire back to stock completely?

I believe the last user rooted it and installed a custom ROM. I have no backup and cannot get the internet to work, hence I want to be able to go to a completely stock phone and continue from there.

Is this possible?

Or would you guys please be able to tell me what android RUU to choose? I appreciate you will need information on my phone, so please ask any questions!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ierkens:
Back2Stock HTC_Desire_Bravo,

First you'll have to install the alpharev 'downgrader' HBoot, this will enable your HBoot to be overwritten by the RUU.

U can do so by rename the file in the URL to PB99IMG in the root of your SD-card, and install them from your bootloader (volume-down+power-button).

https://rapidshare.com/files/2215229366/1-PB99IMG_HBoot_downgrade_S-on_copy2SDcard.zip

Then you'll need to run the RUU, best is the latest version GSM-Europe (android 2.3.3).

Same story here, rename the file in the URL to PB99IMG in the root of your SD-card, and install them from your boot-loader (volume-down+power-button).

https://rapidshare.com/files/2776903004/2-PB99IMG_RUU_2.3.3_copy2SDcard.zip

This will bring you back to stock, S-on .

Good luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-george:
Thank-you :)

I'm gonna bring it back and try to get a new one today.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It could just be an issue with the partition set up. before getting a new one, definitely try and "erase data" from within the rom, to see if that helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-george:
I already have with no luck, and with card reader to even with with two different pc. I tried my SD in my gf phone and it doesn't work in Rom mode.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sounds like its beyond help then. But at least you know your phone works with other cards :)

Hello, I have a problem with my Desire. I installed insertcoin a2sd + 1.1.3, and I have the following problem... phone starts but remains blocked wallpaper, bar "home" (clock, signal and battery) and can not do anything ... Can you tell me how to solve the problem? Thank you.

Sorry for my bad English.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
try to do a full wipe then reflash the ROM. so go to mounts & storage and format everything APART FROM SD-CARD!! then reflash

if that doesnt work the only thing I can think of is to make sure you have the correct SPL/Hboot (need S-OFF) and that you have an EXT partition on your sd-card..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexghe:
i have S-off
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:

I rooted the phone with http://unrevoked.com about 6 months ago. 5 days ago I installed a custom rom.

But the bootloader still says I have S-ON

If I try to root it again it fail and asks if I have a new firmware
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
root and S-OFF are two different things. Root gives you root admin permissions in the system, S-OFF allows you to flash img's via fastboot and issue fastboot commands etc.

If you want S-OFF look at my guide on how to S-OFF... it's right in front of your eyes did you even read it? :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yanoplathizo:
Thanks very much!

Sorry to ask more, but i search on the android dev web siteand couldn't find it by either selecting the desire phone and searching or popping in '2.3.3' any info on where i can get the RUU?

Refresh before I reply!

Excellent instructions!

Lesson learnt,

Thanks again!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ierkens:
I just added the URL's in my previous replay, you can put this on your SD-card and install them from the bootloader.

I have a desire with s-on, un-rooted (never rooted) with a splash screen freeze.

I couldn't use recovery (would just stay on splash screen).

Tried all sorts of drivers/methods on Win7 and could not get flashers to work, so I loaded

[RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_29_405_5_Radio_32_49_00_32U_5_11_05_27_release_159811_signed.exe]

on the SD card and followed the steps. Everything flashed ok but the phone is doing the same after restart and recovery does not work.

I am struggling to understand the entire OP guide, is there anything else I could try or is the phone messed up?

Thanks:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Instead of using that ruu, try the 2.3 ruu.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCrush:
Thanks I just tried this too, the update went through and I can see that on the fastboot mode (22 Jul 2011)

but the phone is now going into infinite bootloop and recovery will still not work.

Hm, I don't understand, it's prolly messed up...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Take out your battery, put the phone in the freezer for 10 minutes, then take it out, plug the battery back in, and try to boot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCrush:
I gave it a try but it doesn't seem to be an overheating issue either.

The phone starts in hboot but that's about it, if I choose recovery it will enter the infinite bootloop.

Normal boot just sits on the slash screen as before. Strange as all the ROM updates ticked OK.

Guess it's time for a new phone lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uphall:
Can't get S-OFF.

Hi, a friend has given me his Bravo to root and install a custom rom because of the lack of storage.

The device details are as follows:

Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT - 1.82.0001

RADIO - 5.17.05.23

Android version 2.3.3

Build number - 3.14.405 CL96875 release keys

Software number - 3.14.405.1

I can't find the equivalent hboot/firmware anywhere.

I have attempted to root with unrevoked but the software is too new. It goes almost through the whole process but fails on a 'software too new' error.

When I try revolutionary.io I get only two options for bootloaders, neither of which is the same as mine so I can't generate a beta key.

I have searched until my head spins but I am unable to find a way to downgrade either the bootloader or the software version. That,of course, would enable me to gain S-Off and install a custom rom.

I can boot to hboot but when I try to enter recovery it goes through 2 screens to a warning triangle and then stops, so no recovery.

I can access the device through adb and fastboot.

Any advice would be appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
I have never seen that hboot version in 1 year and a half of being on this forum.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uphall:
Yeah, I get the feeling that it is a developers version that has somehow been installed. The problem is that I can't seem to do anything with it :crying:

Would it be possible to install a stock rom by flashing a PD9IMG through the bootloader?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uphall:
Who's a Numpty then!

Just to update, I was mis-reading the hboot version (1.02) because of the zero with the stroke through it. Duh! I have now got root and will install a custom rom. Many thanks for any help provided.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fractalogic:
This guide begins by saying:

Why would I need a goldcard, and what does it do?

I followed the instructions in the guide at UnLockr website (as linked to above) until I hit the dead end at step 7 where I'm supposed to type my email and the reversed CID to get a goldcard.img file. The problem is that the link is dead. The server can't be found.

I have found another guide on how to create a goldcard, and it also points to the website mentioned in the previous guide (the website of some guy called Viper with German top level domain). So that's it? No goldcard then?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omkarsathe92:
Don't know how to proceed after this

Please check attached image.. And reply asap.. Thanking in anticipation..

1) I uninstalled htc sync, Dropbox and double twist etc..

2) installed modified usb drivers..

3) enabled usb debugging, unknown sources and selected ask me when connected to pc

4) when connected I selected CHARGE ONLY and opened device manager and verified it showed android bootloader interface..

5) then I ran unrevoked and it continued until when it reached recovery it showed the message (check attached image), on pc it said DONE..

6) NOW I have su permissions app, it grants su to es file explorer but can't delete system apps although / directory is set to rw in the app plus it still shows S-ON and I can't do nandroid backup too (check image)..

PLEASE HELP..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fractalogic:
Why would you want to delete system apps?

What error message are you getting?

What Android version do you have? And do you have the stock HTC ROM or some custom ROM?

What recovery image is that? Is that CWM?

I don't know if S-OFF is required to set RW for / (root). I don't think so but I would try to get S-OFF anyway, it doesn't hurt to have it. The only way I know that will do it is AlphaRev or Revolutionary method. But I think Unrevoked did what it was supposed to. You said you now have superuser permissions app on your phone. That's all Unrevoked does, it gives you root access.

Well.. At first glance this is a happy ending, but the fact that the freezer trick worked could show a motherboard overheating problem. This can only be fixed by changing the motherboard.

If the phone will randomly reboot, and get stuck at the boot screen, you'll know that it overheated.

Hopefully there will be someone able to assist in fixing my issue as well.

Gingerbread and lower versions run just fine on my HTC Desire, but above ICS the phone restarts (sometimes its a hot-reboot, sometimes full restart) after a few minutes (varies between 2 and 12 minutes).

I have tried about 8 different ICS and JB roms with many kinds of partition layouts (of the internal memory), and I seem to be unable to isolate the problem.

Desire can't handle it. Stay on GB.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berkk:
Other Desire phones, and even a ZTE Blade (another phone of mine, which has the same amount of internal memory, the exact same GPU, and a lower version ARMv6 CPU) can run the latest JB seamlessly. If it was simple as "Desire can't handle it", there would be no JB roms for it.

I have seen phones with stable JB builds being unable to maintain and eventually crash, and the Desire is not such a phone. The interface is perfectly smooth and even more responsive than the ZTE, there is no sign of any performance issue.

I'm running sensedream ICS on my Bravo, it works just fine.

Could it be a 'hardware failure'? SDcard, motherboard, (freezer trick might determine that)?:confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berkk:
Unlikely, but it can be. Shouldn't Gingerbread do the same, if it's a hw issue?

Is there any other "layer" between the hardware and the OS besides the bootloader? When I got the phone, it was already rooted, and had recovery installed. What can go wrong with rooting, and replacing hboot, which can cause such an issue?

I will try the freezer trick though, and lets hope it's some kind of a sw issue.
