You wont be able to run an RUU if you have a USB brick but if it works other times maybe its not that then, try PB99IMG.zip method.
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
Where can i obtain that zip and tutorial
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Zip:

1 of 2 ways.

1) Look on http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo for a PB99IMG.zip with the correct software version for you. Download it and rename it exactly "PB99IMG.zip" Capitals and everything. Ensure that you have known extensions shown so you dont end up calling it "PB99IMG.zip.zip"

2) If above not available,

Run RUU without phone connected and move it to one side on your screen

Go to Start>Run and type "%temp%" without quatations and press enter.

Look for a folder, probably in hexidecimal format (e.g 0521af25b8e8) that was created at the time that you ran the RUU (The RUU must be open for this fodler to exist)

In here, look for another similarly named folder

Locate ROM.zip and Rename it "PB99IMG.zip" and put it somewhere else.

Tutorial.

Put PB99IMG.zip on root of SD card (i.e not in any folder)

Boot into Hboot (from off, vol down + Power) and wait 7 seconds.

You should see some green writing looking for PB99IMG.zip

Follow prompts to allow the install.
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
Ok. Tried that and still no luck. When going into hboot it states no image found .
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
The important part here is what the bootloader showed... Did the status change to 'FASTBOOT USB' when you connected the cable? Or did it stay as just 'FASTBOOT'?

If you didn't see the '... USB' affix, then you are definitely USB bricked. Try follow the steps in this thread.

If you did the the '... USB' affix, then read below..

Firstly, keep in mind the 'PB99IMG.zip' is case-sensitive, it must be in all capitals.. I didn't realise that when I first tried it either, and it's not mentioned too often, but it makes a difference.

Otherwise, try do this manually from your PC instead.

First make a nandroid backup in recovery, then with your phone in bootloader and the cable connected, once you see 'FASTBOOT USB', try the following steps:

Find adb.exe and fastboot.exe (easiest way is to download Android Flasher and look in the app folder)

Extract the 'img' file from the PB99IMG.zip file and place it in the same folder.

Open the command prompt in Windows, navigate to the same folder, and run the following commands in order, watching the device screen between each one.

Note: Substitute 'bravo_alphaspl.img' with your exact file name:

fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot erase cache

Then boot into recovery, wipe

everything

and restore the nandroid backup.

If this doesn't work... Heck, I hate to say it, but perhaps you've just gained a glorified paper-weight.. :p You might have to send it in to get repaired.. But let's hope not hey...? :)
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
Just a thought. Does it matter what hboot is currently on my phone as 6.93.1002
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
In answer to the usb affix. It was visible and went into fastboot usb. Will try the other option. Thanks for you help
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Hmmm... That means you're already running a custom hboot. The hboots on the AlphaRev site all have the first number incremented like that.

To change your hboot, you'll probably need to flash the 'downgrader hboot' first (end of the download list on AlphaRev.nl), and then the hboot you actually want to use.
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
Do you know where to get hold of stock hboots?
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
First hboot on the download list on the AlphaRev site is the stock one. :) Just scroll down a bit to see the hboot table, you'll see them listed there.

Edit: Hang on.... GT-I9100...? Here I thought you had a HTC Desire.... You'll need to get one from the sub-forum for your device.

Edit 2: Or are you trying to fix a Desire...? Sorry, I'm a bit distracted right now... Trying to cook supper at the same time. Lol. Multi-tasking not working too well right now..
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
hi

the gt-i9100 is my current phone which i just got via upgrade, i am trying to return my desire to stock for for the missus, she doesnt want all that additional stuff, plus she want to be able to use the waranty that is left.

sorry for confusion, i myself was doing the washing up while trying to deal with two kids so it was easier to respond from my s2
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Ah... Ok cool, I follow now. Well, yeah, in that case I'd suggest you first install the 'downgrader hboot' and then the 'stock hboot' from AlphaRev.nl.

I can't find the specific post now, but if I remember correctly, you shouldn't restart the phone in between the two... So after flashing the 'downgrader hboot', leave the USB cable connected and run the fastboot command again for the stock hboot while it's still in the bootloader.
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
think im going to give in, tried to use android flasher to downgrade and got following errors

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
There are no errors there.

Going back to the PB99IMG.zip, if it didnt find it, something was wrong with the name of the file. Did you ensure in windows you set the folder view to not "hide known file extensions"?

Can you give a screenshot of the PB99IMG.zip in a file list on your PC please?
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
tried it again but still no luck

attached is a screen dump
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Sorry, I meant a screen shot of the file PB99IMG.zip in a folder or something on your computer, just to do a sanity check for errors.
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
Do u mean extracted into a folder
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
You can see the PB99IMG.zip file on his desktop right next to the folder view options window.. Isn't that what you were asking for? :confused: The folder view options affect every folder in Windows, including the desktop...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Bah, I didn't see it, sorry.

Definitely correctly named.

unbranded locked htc desirre ,

hi, i have unbranded ,locked , htc desire , i tried with unrevoked method but it says not supported ,

the rom i have on phone is qishang 16_a10y-user

which method should i follow

thanks
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
From the Unrevoked Wiki:

Perhaps the ROM you're using is reporting the device differently..? A bit more information about your device would really help... PVT version? Android version? Link to ROM thread for reference?
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
Have just realise something which i think may be causing an issue with running the ruu. I have recently changed to windows 7 and have still not managed to get adb up and running.

Do you think that could be an issue?
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I'm running Windows 7 x64, never had any issues with it.. Although, all I did to get it 'up and running' was install the HTC USB Driver (included with HTC Sync), open the command prompt, navigate to the folder with the ADB and FastBoot executables (located in Android Flasher's subfolders), and run the commands.

Unless you decide to use the complete Android SDK, you really don't need anything else..

You're trying to use software specifically designed for the HTC Desire on a 'Stargate Android'...? They're completely different devices, so that will never work. Read here for more info.
[Desire Android Development] mastmalang70:
thanks , i just wanted to get rid of Voice search app and to root that thing so i can run the apps that need root permissions, i try to root it with z4root and it get root ,but when i try to install app (xyz), it ask for root ,means it is not rooted

hope understand what i mean

never had so much problem with WM phones ,

thanks
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
If you'd bought a cheap Chinese clone WM phone, then you quite probably would've had more problems... I know because I did. :) Ended up giving the piece of crap away because I couldn't even sell it... Genuine WM phones are much better than that, but a properly done Android phone is the easiest of all to root/edit/upgrade/ect..

Considering your device is pretty much a Desire clone (or at least looks to be), your best bet would probably be to look in the Desire Q&A forum for some help with this. Perhaps search a bit first and see if anybody else has bought it as well?
[Desire Android Development] mastmalang70:
perhaps i will go for real htc android device , and keep this one as a spare , any idea which one to get ,that can be customized easily ,like rom and root

thanks
[Desire Android Development] d3xtr0:
Hi everyone,

I was trying to root my desire but I can't boot into HBOOT.. I've tried volume down + power and nothing. Someone can help me? thanks
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
if vol down+power when off isnt working for hboot, does vol down work in your rom?

What about from off, Back+power? to get to fastboot
[Desire Android Development] d3xtr0:
back + power worked to go into fastboot, now I must choose bootloader right? I think the problem it my volume down. Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yeah bootloader then recovery, you'll have to VOL up if possible to cycle round
[Desire Android Development] d3xtr0:
One more thing, I'm in root step yet but My windows can't install adb drivers.. I've isntalled hboot drivers from unrevoked but after with phone on and plug in (debuging on) Windows can't find the adb drivers.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
The driver appears as 2 different things, depending if android is running or if its in bootloader. Boot to bootloader and check in device manager that it displays as "Android 1.0 device"

if it helps here are the instructions for installing hboot drivers from my guide. You need only install this and the HTC sync drivers

Extract your hboot driver files somewhere you will remember.

Boot into Hboot screen (from off, hold volume down and press power)

Connect Desire to PC (the screen will then show "HBOOT USB")

Right click "My computer" > Manage > Device Manager

Expand "Other Devices" in the right-hand pain and locate "Android 1.0 device"

Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software

Click on Browse my computer for driver software.

Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder you extracted earlier (press OK to any errors received and Close when complete)

Check Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone in device manager.

[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
If you want to go back to the stock standard original ROM (un-rooted, S-ON, etc), you'll need to run one of the official HTC ROM Upgrade Utilities (RUU). Try one from here.

I've used Unrevoked's method to root my cousin's Desire. I forgot to S-off

I flashed Leedroid ROM through Recovery using CWM. after reboot it has stuck at Bootloader.

Now I"m stuck at Recovery . How can I S-off now or at least get back to previous step.

Please don't tell me that This phone is locked!
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
You should have made a nandroid backup of the previous ROM before flashing a new one... Did you? If so, simply boot into Recovery and restore the backup.

Alternatively, you could try a full wipe through Recovery, then re-flash Leedroid. Depending on what the actual cause of the problem is, that may get it past the bootloader.

If not, you could also try flash either a stock or AOSP ROM for now. After that you should be able to get S-OFF and Root pretty easily. And remember, before

any

major system change: nandroid backup! You never know when you'll need it....

Installing cm7r2 bootloader bricked mine desire.

Status now is an desire with HTC on screen and in the corners triangle with inside !

It is not possible to get into the bootloader to install another rom. It is not possible to install zip roms, i have done that many times before i bricked the phone.

It is possible to install using exe roms, i have tried several stockroms with exe.

The programm get acces to the phone and starts the install. For a long time every thing seems to work, flashing the radio, etc., untill it get to install system. Depending on which rom i use it stops at 56% or 75%.

Hi there,

Yesterday I flashed my HTC Desire with the ROM RunnymedeMod007. Since the comments in that forum are quite 'expert-like' i didn't dare to post my general question over there. Hope this thread is for asking my noob-question. Here comes the question.

They just released a new update of the ROM (from v13 to v14). I would like to have this update but I don't want to re-install all my applications. They have general installation instructions but in my opinion these instruction are for new installations and not upgrading.

What procedure should I follow?

Hope you can help.
[Desire Android Development] TKG26:
No you should almost be able to just flash the rom over the existing one.

Minimum suggested would be to wipe cache.

If you'd searched the forum (or even Google) first you would've seen tons of people have asked this, and each thread ends up directing them to Revolutionary...
[Desire Android Development] dinoalbert:
Please please help. Ive been flashing Roms for a long time but this is my first time to experience this.

After I flashed a ROM (RunnyMed007), it gave me low internal memory and even if I clear all temp data and uninstalled already all apps, its still in low memory. I am rooted on Stock Hboot, S-ON, ext4 1Gb partitioned SD. I decided to reformat again my SD card to clean start from zero and reflash ROMs. So before doing that, I decided to go to Setting> Storage....and Erase Phone Storage....and also did Factory Data Reset.

I checked my SD card but I wonder why all files and folders are still there.

Then I reflash again the ROM but after it rebooted, I noticed my lockscreen is not there anymore, not visible...just a blank wallpaper and nothing else.

I can unlock it by pressing the trackpad....but in my Homescreen, I noticed that some images are not visible like the widgets...only visible are the letters/wordings.

I tried to Personlize, add Widget but I noticed that there are only 9 widgets....other widgets like the Clock, Calendar, Friendstream, Weather, etc are not there.

When I tried to restore thru Recovery, I read the ff:

E: Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(File exists)

.

.

Restoring sd-ext...

No app2sd partition found. Skiping format of /sd-ext.

E: Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(File exists)

Cant mount /sd-ext!

What have I done? Please advice me what to do to bring back my Desire normal again? If this is not related to flashing of this ROM, please point me to where I can ask help about this.

As for the SD card, I can still access it thru ES File Explorer, and by choosing connect to PC type as Disk Drive. So I assume this is not USB brick?

Please help...

Thank you very much...

EDIT: I rebooted to Recovery and did a restore.....it successfuly restored, rebooted my phone....but still the problem is still there.....no Lockscreen, just a blank wallpaper, and my Homescreen is also missing some widgets and images

I have been trying to do this and it will not root my Desire(2.3.3) The reflash prog. does it's thing and then my phone just reboots back into 2.3.3.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Rooting your phone won't replace your ROM, that's a different process completely.

Check to see if you have an application called 'SuperUser' installed, if so, then you now have root access. You could also try install and run an application that requires root access; when it launches for the first time, if you have root access, you should be prompted to either allow or deny root access (prompt from SuperUser).
[Desire Android Development] jamsh:
I downloaded Titanium from the market, knowing that it requires root priveleges and when I opened it, I got the following message - ERROR Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will not work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes Busybox, and try again.

I do have Superuser installed.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Hmmm... Maybe check in SuperUser and see if Titanium Backup is listed there, if it's requested access before and it was denied the prompt probably won't come up again. Depending on the version of SU you have, you may be able to manually add it to the list of allowed apps..

Just a thought, but what ROM are you running while trying to get root access? If you're running a custom ROM, there's a good chance you already had root access before this.

Also, I didn't see you mention which method you're using to try get root..? The easiest method I know of is using Unrevoked.

Okay, I tought i just could RUU my phone using RUU file. So I downloaded RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe and booted to fastbood mode -> connected USB -> ran RUU. Anyways, all wen fine and the gray HTC logo appeared on my screen but after few seconds the RUU gave me "Bootloader version error [140]". After that my phone is just dead. It wont turn on or anything, I cant get ADB to my phone. Screen is totally black. The phone just randomly vibrates when i plug it in the charger or press the power button after taking the battery out. But its just random. The charging led indicator wont even turn on.

I Had few weeks old MIUI installed, CWM 4.X.X.X and hboot 6.93.9999 (if i remember right, 6.93.XXXX it was anyways). After failing I googled and found out that i shuold have downgraded hboot first? I recently bought a new phone so actually just didnt give s*** :rolleyes: Im having proximity sensor problem in my old Desire, so I would like to return it to the shop after flashing the default rom.

So folks, how do I proceed? Totally bricked?

Thanks!

Edit: the phone getting hotter whenever i plug my battery in o.O
