Sometimes people like us get so used to ruling things out that I think sometimes we subconsciously exclude these possibilities. I do it all the time. Look for the complicated answer when its a simple answer.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Dunno, all you can do is try it lol. Then use RUU and run revolutionary.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swanden:
Well, I pulled the cable out and reflashed my ROM and it works! :) So I need to restore to a stock ROM and then use revolutionary, yeey!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ray.dhd:
hi bortak, i bought a desire which was stuck in the reboot loop with a view to fix it. unfortunately i didn't read your post before i tried to install the ruu and so i didn't create a goldcard first. obviously it didn't go well and all i get now is the black htc screen with the triangles.

i tried #4 (s-on) of your guide to create the goldcard but adb doesn't seem to find the device. now, my question is will it work if i get the CID from goldcard helper using another phone (and the same sd card off course)?

thanks in advance for your time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Read No.6, use the CID tool instead of using adb to get the CID (you want the CID of the sd-card not the phone), then follow the tutorial on the unlockr.com (it's linked) ONWARDS from AFTER they get the CID.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ray.dhd:
well thanks for the quick reply, i will try it tonight and let you know.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ray.dhd:
so here's the situation now, after i created the goldcard i tried to install the ruu. the progress bar went to about 65% then it showed me an image error. it told me to pull the battery and after i did that my phone is COMPLETELY DEAD. i guess there is no hope now:(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Define: completely dead.

Try using the 2.3 RUU (Look in resources)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ray.dhd:
it won't turn on at all - nothing on the screen and no vibration. my computer doesn't make the sound when i connect via usb. i still ran the 2.3 ruu for the peace of mind but it shows usb connection error (i'm sure the drivers are fine because i didn't get this error before). i did hold the volume- and power button for 10 seconds as you said in number 5.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
wow that sucks. You have a 2 year warranty though so just contact HTC
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ray.dhd:
thank you very much bortak for your help. i'm not sure about the warranty thing though as i bought it in used condition without any paperwork. never mind, i can live without it, just would have felt good if i fixed it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Hmm, well the thing is I doubt HTC can check who the phone was sold to,so if you fabricated a receipt from say play.com that you got for your HTC desire, I doubt you'd be second guessed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ray.dhd:
wow, that is a great idea. i'll surely give it a shot. thanks a million.;)

Root

Hi I am trying to root my HTC Desire using Unrevoked 3.32 but I keep getting an error right at the end saying "rooting failed is your firmware too new."

I am using android 2.2 OTA froyo on a contracted virgin network.

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON

H BOOT 0.93 0001

RADIO 5. 11.05.14

Kernel version 2.6.32.15 ge2c73db

Sofware number 2.22351.3

Can anyone suggest a way to solve this please.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Forget Unrevoked, it's old.

Use revolutionary to S-OFF, then flash recovery.. If you want your stock ROM to be rooted (unnecessary if you will change it), then flash superuser.zip via recovery.

Before flashing any ROMS make sure to backup and do a full format.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pad1:
I downloaded an older version of unrevoked and that has sorted it.

Thaks for the advice all the same bortak it was greatly appreciated.

now to start looking at something called S-off then roms.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
That's what revolutionary does.. using unrevoked is completely unnecessary
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pad1:
I get what you mean now looks like I started reading in the wrong place I downloaded revolutionary but still looking at how best to run it now that I have gone down the unrevoked road.

I would appreciate it if you could point me to a good guide to continue from when you get the time.

Thanks again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
It's a real no brainer. If you're still on the stock ROM then even better, just download the tool (enter info required first), run it, enter beta key and let it do it's business. There's a video on the guide for how it should all go down.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pad1:
Bit of trouble getting it to find the phone but a driver reinstall sorted that and I`m ready to find my new rom.

Thanks again for all the help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saskend:
I had installed Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.1 Special Edition Stable Version.

Everything is ok.The rom is stable and smooth.

The Aroma installer is very easy to use.

The only thing is that when i flash the rom (I did that twice for the same reason) and i choose customize install i get that message :

You are use CM7/r2 HBOOT

Your Devise NOT SUPPORT AD2SDX

For that reason i can't choose the AD2SDX mode and i am with APP2SD.

All the others who have that rom are using the AD2SDX with no problem.

I don't know whats the problem with my phone.If someone knows please let me know how can i fix this.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Try formatting with fastboot (check guide on how to do that, i think pretty much every section tells you to do so), switching hboots, then switching back, and try the install again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saskend:
Thank you for your quick reply.

The problem was on partitioning my sd card with Gparted.

After partitioning my card with 4ext Recovery to 2048 Mb the aroma installer can see my phone as supported.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Ahh, well good you got it sorted. I've had my sd partitioned (and just assume everyone does too xD) so didn't take that into account :P

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Look at number 6.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockers:
I just noticed that thank you,

finding a computer that the readCID.exe will work on is proving tough as they are all USB card readers and it wont work with such devices.

Hi

I got the phone from another persone

It IS NOT S-OFF its S-ON

Dosent boot works only in the /!\ 4 mode

Last night i actualy managed to boot in HBOOT ..tried with the XTC CLIP to S-OFF didnt worked :

So i got the /!\ problem and i the radio is bricked i think it keeps vibrating 7 times ..i eaven tried to s-off with the XTC Clip ...didnt work when it was seeing that the radio is ready it vibrated 7 times and halted...after a while it said radio timeout..

I cant use the fastboot oem boot ...it vibrates 7 times and halts at htc green and white

I cant flash any new radio because of the signature error..

PB99IMG dose the 51 error update partition thing...or just halts because the phone vibrated 7 times

I dont have another android device to make a goldcard (not sure it will work evean with that)

Any ides how to s-off under fastboot mode?

Thank you any response will be usefull.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Vibrate seven times sounds really bad. But maybe there is still some hope.

You said you can get to fastboot? Please post the information on screen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Try googling it, can't be that hard. I know you can somehow read it in linux.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Agreed, if RUU's don't work, PB99IMG's don't work.. theeennnn that's kinda about all the man can try.

I have no idea what any of this means.

One more thing, tried the 2.3 RUU yet? It somehow has magic fixes sometimes.

OK phone is fixed...only problem i have that i think it needs reball or reheat so the BGA could resolder themselvs...

What i did ..

Took a pack of frozen thing from the freezer, putted the phone on it.

Installed the GingerBread RUU and it upgraded the radio (i was omg no way)

I had a XTC Clip so i did a S-OFF with it .

Installed the hboot 0.93 then used alpharev .ZIP not img bcouz i coundnt push the img trough fastboot

Installed revolutionary cwm 4.0

Installed some rom and it boots up.

The only problem is that when i use it (not that much) it shuts down....otherwise last night it stayed 4 hours on standby while i was asleep (it was charging)

It boots up only when taken out in the cold and its kept cold ...else reboot and 7 vibration fail...

A) This is a Desire (Bravo) forum

B) it's normal, every phone does this

c) Just boot recovery and flash a new ROM

d) If that doesn't work download and run RUU.exe (for your device, not the bravo) with your phone in fastboot

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
If you use a 2.2 RUU and something goes wrong you have different RUU's (Plus to 2.3 RUU) to fall back on, with this one you only have this.

Download, boot into fastboot (power off, hold back & power), plug in via usb, run RUU.exe

Once you've done that actually read around android and don't just expect people to spoon feed you.
