Use the 2.3 RUU, don't need a goldcard for it, and you probably won't get this error.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgorki:
Thank you for your time, I'm trying the 2.3 RUU all the time. Maybe its faulty... Can you please drop me a link?

got it from here: http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152

...and still getting the [152] error... with "[1] RADIO_V2 - Fail-PU" error on the phone screen

I think now I can also forget about warranty:(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
No actually, you're in pretty good shape when it comes to warranty. If it doesn't work after a few tries of the 2.3 RUU, just call HTC and tell them you got a problem while trying to update your phone the Gingerbread, they should either fix it or give you a new one free of charge! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgorki:
the problem is I got a Vodafone Branded set with an O2 contract by a reseller/provider, I'll try it and hopefully it will work, but maybe they have their own return policies.... I can't send it to HTC since its provider branded....

thanks for your efforts! I'll report my progress ;)

Hello,

I apologize for my English.

I have a probleme with my htc desire.

I changed rom and after that the lock button is strange.

When I press the lock button, it works correctly.

When I press on wakeup it's turned off except when I press a key before volume.

I changed my custom rom that has nothing changes. After I tried to return to a RUU.

This brick my phone, I got out of the brick.

I tested other custom rom and now he does not sleep.

When i go sleep, phone bip and wake up immediatly.

For the lock button, nothing has changed

Thank you for your help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
So just to confirm, the problem is that the phone does not go to sleep (i.e. When you press power, the screen blinks and remains on)?

Did you still have the problem after running the RUU and being on a stock ROM?

- If you did, then it might be a hardware fault.

Did the problem only show when you flashed a custom ROM?

- Do a full wipe through recovery (boot, system, data, cache, dalvic), check the md5 of the downloaded ROM (if provided on the thread), then flash it again and see if you still get the problem.

Still won't mount sd card

Even after using the usb unbrick it won't find my sd card, it's formatted FAT32, it'll show the card, but won't show size. Not sure what else to do. I have tried the adb commands and still nothing.

You mean fastboot? If you didn't do them in fastboot... then do them in fastboot.

ADB and Fastboot are two different things.

Also, try a different SD-Card, maybe that one is just dead (Rare, but it happens)

Hi bortak,

I just installed now a new rom, i wasn't too sure of what rom to install so i tried a stable one, still cyanogen, but version 6.1.1

It's almost the same. After installed, i tried to restart, it passed the HTC screen, but then it get's stuck at the Cyanogenmod boot screen...

Also, when in my first installation attempts of cyanogenmod 7.1 days ago, when i logged on into cyanogen the google account would appear.

These last times, the google account doesn't appear anymore, so i cannot access to google play, nor my contacts.

What else can i do ? :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yshuya:
Yes and the other problem is taht the phone reboot when i press power for wake up.

I have tested a solution for go to RUU and the phone brick... Your solution is good for go to RUU and the phone doesn't brick

The problem appeared after changing rom yes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
When I said try a different ROM I meant something else other than the CM tree, try a sense rom by alex, maybe it's just AOSP that's being weird, but I still don't see why it should do that, maybe it's a HW fault.

Also, you dont have google apps, because you need to flash Google Apps after flashing CM since they're not allowed to distribute their ROM with it included.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Make a goldcard, then Wipe everything again, then boot into fastboot and run the 2.2 WWE RUU (you need a golcard!!). See if you still get the problem, if you do then send the phone to HTC and they should fix it for you.

Hi,

Yesterday my desire stuck on boot image and I was able to go only in fastboot.

So I have tried step [2]ADVANCED BOOT PROBLEMS but no luck and I was not able to go to recovery.

I tried [4]RUU PROBLEMS I was S-OFF when I tried to flash RUU and it failed but after that my phone was S-ON. So I flashed WWE RUU and it was flashed successfully, but my phone still is stuck on boot image.

Any advice will be helpful.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbota:
Hi bortak,

Only this past weekend I had the time to try to fix the phone, so I installed a new HBOOT, so I followed your guide, and installed Bravo CM7 r2, and then wiped everything and installed one more time cyanogenmod 7.1, after installed i tried to reboot, and finally it rebooted just fine into cyanogenmod.

So finally the phone is working great.

Thank you very much for you advices! much appreciated!

I know bortak left this thread, but still hope he or someone else can help me. I have an European htc desire with revolutionary and S-off. I was running CM7 but need to send my desire to htc for warranty. I've flash a RUU file assuming it would S-on my device again, now in this thread I read that AlphaRev has secured their Hboot, so maybe revolutionary also has done this. My question is now how can I s-on my device, currently I can't boot to os nor recovery. I was thinking that maybe the downgrader from AplhaRev will work with revolutionary as well?

What is it?

I tried to flash recovery, don't work.

I tried update stock official firmware 2.2 (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed).

And wow, Desire is launched, but "touch" don't work. Also it says me (when desire is launced) "connect your charger" but charger is plugged on. I noticed charger indocator don't work.

How to fix touch panel?

Go figure how to fix it if you cracked the mb.

Patience. Desire is a ***** to disassemble.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
It was quite easy actually, and I've done it many times :P

Where did he crack it?

Did you make sure you plugged in the connectors correctly? Also, when you took it apart, did you take the screen out? if yes you may have damaged the connector from the digitizer to the mobo, in which case you need to buy a new one, which is £25 from ebay (get the one with the front fascia as it's a lot easier to work with). But to be honest, I don't know what you did wrong so you could just be throwing money at a phone that may not even work either way.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironshark123:
after rooting the desire will it still produce same camera capture quality as the unrooted one? i'm concerned here,,how does the pic looks from a rooted device? is it still good?

i'm sorry to ask this silly question,but i cannot find any image comparison between the rooted & unrooted desire... :D :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Root does NOTHING but give you administrator privileges. Changing ROMs will change the version of Android on your phone, different ROMs may have different camera applications, but why would picture quality even be affected?

I would like to know , which is the easiest way to flash rom?

Rom manager or just going into recovery mode & then search the path and flash the rom? which is safe way?

thanks for your time :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
NEVER, and I mean NEVER use that piece of sh*t application "ROM Manager". It causes more problems than it cares to solve. ALWAYS do it from recovery.

If you want a nice and easy to use recovery with a good UI, download 4EXT Recovery Control (available in market), and install 4EXT Touch Recovery.

Before you flash, make sure to backup your ROM, then do a full wipe (boot, system, data, cache, dalvik), then flash the ROM you want.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironshark123:
ohh i get it now... i asked that question,because i have used few camera apps & there picture quality was not as good as inbuilt camera app of Desire

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleehond:
I think i did something very stupid :( And im afraid i bricked my phone:

My phone was made S-OFF and i did run latest MildWild ROM on c7r2 hboot. I wanted to go back to original rom from HTC because i want to handle over this device to somebody soon.

I just downloaded the latest RUU from HTC and started the proces. Somehow during update proces it crashed. Now i cant start up my phone in anyway. If i turn it on, it brings me to a screen with HTC in the middle and in the corners the the triangle with -> ! sign.

I think i had to downgrade to stock hboot first. I just did it totally unprepared.

NOOB ME :mad:

Im affraid i wont get this to work again?? I dont get into bootload, recovery or anything...

I can slap myself man. I think i just ****ed it up all myself...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironshark123:

but i have official gingerbread 2.3.3 on my Desire , will i be able to s-off & again flash any gingerbread rom? (just asking not sure as i've seen few youtube videos mate)

and can i also Backup my current official gingerbread rom before doing S-oFF & then later s-ON & flash it again?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleehond:
Like i said, totally my own problem. I just did it way unprepared...

I just fcked it up myself :mad::(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Yes, as long as your bootloader is compatible with revolutionary then you can S-OFF as many times as you want. You can check compatability by booting into the bootloader (hold volume down and power) and checking the version against the versions supported by revolutionary.

Getting S-OFF does not do anything to your system, so you will be able to back up AFTER you achieve S-OFF and flash a custom recovery.

Why would you want to S-ON again? There's no point, and many ROMs benefit from custom bootloaders by offering you extra space for apps, as they do not need large /system partitions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Just calm down, you're not going to get anywhere by being mad and crying about something you CAN FIX. Read the guide SLOWLY and CAREFULLY. Look at [4], that walks you through how to fix your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironshark123:
oo yes,,i checked compatability on revolutionary.

but i also want to partition my memory, like increasing internal memory, so at what part i should do that? i mean,before doing s-off or after s-off? its called EXT partition right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleehond:
Thnx... but android flashed quits during installation.... ARGH
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Use cmd
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironshark123:
i'm confused about 1 thing,,

for example- i use a memory card which is blank,,i follow all the instructions on revolutionary,downloaded all the files mentioned on that revolutionary site.. and then i wish to s-off, that will work right?

i mean,i will save the apps backup & everything on my pc & later i will copy to memory card..

But what bothers me is,,,when i do that EXT partition and later paste apps to my memory card will they work or will be pasted on the EXT partition?

i just hope you understand what i'm thinking.. as i find this way easier than backing up data through Titanium back up or anyother app.. as i will be relax nothing will happen to any data on memory as it will be blank... :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
You can't touch it until you S-OFF, and you need to backup your stock ROM before you do that. You can get the different partition layouts at alpharev.nl, just make sure the ROM you are about to flash supports the partition!

The EXT partition is something completely different. This is where you partition your SD-CARD, to have a nGB FAT32 partition and (usually) a 1024mb EXT4 partition. This allows ROMs with A2SD enabled to use the space to move your apps to the EXT4 partition, thus allowing you to install a lot more as you are not so constricted for space.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Also, note that you can't use titanium backup if you use an ICS ROM (however I would advise against that anyway, since ICS is still rather unstable on the Desire)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleehond:
Use cmd? What you mean? Sorry bit n00b on that side.

Im readin topic of android flasher, cant find a solution so far...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Oh dear. You need to slow down and stop panicking, and read around a little. Since you're having trouble I'll give you some help. I'll write you a step by step tutorial... be patient...

Oh don't reply to this btw, I pressed "post" by accident.

READ THIS RIGHT DOWN TO THE LETTER. AND TAKE YOUR GOD DAMN TIME.

Step1. Download the attachment "fastboot.zip". Unpack it into C:\

Step2. Download Bravo_Stock hboot. Rename it "hboot.img". Put it into C:\

Step2.1. Unpack the md5check.zip anywhere you want. AND MAKE SURE THE MD5 OF THE HBOOT MATCHES THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7bd5234711364880de1fa982dcf3a2d6

Step3. Turn your phone ON. Plug it in via USB to your computer.

Step4. Open cmd (start, applications, accessories, command prompt. Type the following command

cd\
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Step5. Take the RUU you ran originally, and run it again. IT WILL WORK.

For now, follow instructions, don't question them. You said it yourself - you're a noob, so this is the only way for it.

And REMEMBER: THINGS DO GO WRONG. IF THE RUU ACTUALLY BRICKS YOUR PHONE, I'M NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleehond:
Stuck on part 3/4

Step3. Turn your phone ON. Plug it in via USB to your computer.

DONE but led does not show up?

Step4. Open cmd (start, applications, accessories, command prompt. Type the following command

cd\ DONE

fastboot flash hboot hboot.imh --> ERROR! cannot load hboot.img

So far very thanks bortak. I'm patiently going to try this until i got it to work. Must be something with the phone turn on. I only get into the screen with HTC and the ! signs. Nothing else. Seems like i cant connect my phone to the pc. Might try to test this on another laptop?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironshark123:
ohk..i get it..

but i also use App Backup restore app,,so still i should use Titanium to backup?

I read Alpharev partition Table, there are different types of partition, so i would have to follow the same - System/cache/data & flash the same rom which is compatible with that?

for example- to flash CM7 r2 Room, will have to partition as 145M/5M/287M ?

but if i do that,how can i increase internal memory till 1004MB.. i'm little confused in this part,, sorry for that :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
lol nooooo.... Alpharev partitions change the memory partition of your phone itself.

Your SD-Card is something COMPLETELY different. And to partition that, use gparted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Don't worry about the LED, it doesn't light up in hboot.

The screen will show the HTC with the 4 /!\ when plugged in via USB, that's normal don't worry. You're still in hboot.

Post the bootloader for me will you? Also run this command to see if your pc even see's the phone

cd\

should come back with a serial number.

Alright lets try this application https://rapidshare.com/files/1908085801/FastbootCommanderV.1.51.zip

Unpack the tool and run it.

Download bravo_stock again but this time don't rename it.

With fastboot commander, click the "hboot/spl" button, and find the bravo_alphaspl.img you downloaded. Then click "flash spl" (you obviously need to be connected). Then try the RUU again.

Also, if fastboot commander doesn't open, you need to install java jdk (sorry for all the downloads)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleehond:
"hboot" flash SUCCESSFUL.

Looks good. Now going to try to do the RUU again.

So far, again thanks. And hey Bortak you are not in the position to say sorry for all the downloads... YOU are the one helping out a desperate n00b with impatient lol! So again thanks so far mate!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Yes for the 2nd time. You can't touch the bootloader without S-OFF, or flash a custom recovery for that matter.

So for the last time this is what you need to do:

1. Use revolutionary to S-OFF (read the documentation, you will need to install drivers)

2. Download 4EXT recovery control and use it to flash 4EXT touch

3. Boot into recovery and backup your ROM.

4. Find a ROM you'd like to use and see which hboot it supports. Download it.

5. backup the contents of your sd-card. Download gparted, boot it on your pc and use it to create a 1GB EXT4 partition.

6. Go to alpharev.nl and download the HBOOT you need, check the md5 with the tool provided in the guide (look for tha attachment in the first 3 posts)

7. Flash the custom hboot. Look at guide on how to.

8. Wipe everything from recovery (boot, system, data, dalvik. or use the "wipe everything" feature 4ext has).

9. Flash the custom ROM.
