Thanks for the quick reply! I went ahead and downloaded 2 RUUs

I'm getting Error 131 for both RUUs. Can you suggest which RUU i should be using? I read a post somewhere where an Indian Desire was flashed using the Asia RUU so gave it a try.Please Help! Thanks in advance.

P.S. - I just realized what i did wrong,I had swapped out my SD card to do a nandroid restore.and forgot to swap the goldcard back in after restore. Totally my fault.I'll try it again and get back with results.

Hi Droidzone. Thanks for the help. I've successfully returned to stock with the WWE 2.29 RUU. But the problem I've been having is still persisting. If you could please look at the thread i created on androidforums,it would be great.

Im not allowed to post links so if you could please do a search on androidforums for "Full Wipe not clearing Internal Memory! New ROM, no apps 2mb free" you can see my post.

SUroot and Rastaman were kind enough to try to help me out but RUU was the only option and I've performed this thanks to your well compiled tutorials and FAQ. Please help me with the right course of action as approaching the service centre is my only option.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3LeT3:
Oh! Im sorry didnt know that.It's just that I'd posted my problem there. No worries.

I'll give you a gist of the problem i've been facing.

I've been having this problem lately that whenever I flashed a new ROM, my internal memory would be very low(in kb when i managed to click on the low memory notification quickly) so much so that on loading i would get multiple force closes and i couldnt use the phone. This happened with multiple ROMS. I even tried to restore older Nandroids.These gave me around 20mb free but it would get quickly used up. I even tried a full wipe after the nandroid and installed dgb and oxygen ROMS still with extremely low memories with dGb giving the most at 3.4 mb.

Now I've returned to stock and the problem still persists. I had 20mb internal memory on my first boot and when i signed into market the internal memory dipped to 19.8 mb and i started getting the low memory warning.With no add-on apps installed!!

Now i can only approach the service centre.But I'm out of my 1-year warranty period(puchased Nov 2010), will it be a problem if I go to them with with the 2.29 WWE version and my current hboot (0.93.0001)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Why not just become s off, use a custom hboot like oxygen hboot, allocate some of the system mtd3 memory to user data mtd5? You could then easily use a ROM with low memory footprint like dgb. Or you could just install a ROM which uses data2sd like Supernova, and use ext 4 for user data.

I'd think that you've developed too many bad blocks in nand, and that if you take it to HTC, they'll charge for replacing the board. You'll understand the problem if you try copying the /cache/recovery.log after installing any ROM in recovery, to sdcard and viewing it. Recovery reports bad blocks when it formats and writes to mtd.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3LeT3:
The idea to use data2sd sounds good. But I'd reserved S-Off as last resort. Now since I'm anyways back to Stock I was considering approaching HTC and atleast getting an estimate of how much they might charge. Else i can look into selling the phone ASAP cause if my NAND is allowing for just 3.4 mb internal storage,pretty soon I might face a full failure.

Any thoughts on this?

Meanwhile will approaching HTC with 0.93 hboot be wise? or will i have to use teppic's downgrade utility.If yes to which hboot should i downgrade?

Thanks so much for your continued assistance!

Hi Dz!

Even here you are very precious DZ!

I have tried to follow your procedure on my Bravo GSM that (sigh!) used to run SuperNova and now I need to send to support.

Lately I moved to CM7 with the modified partition table for the issue with the SD card.

Here is what I have done. Reset the Stock Boot partition table via fastboot using:

bravo_alphaspl.img

I have downloaded this RUU that should be right for my unbranded phone:

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe

I have extracted rom.zip renamed and put in on the sd-card.

The procedure goes well more or less but at step2 bootloader it says bypass rather than OK. And at the end I do get an error saying that it cannot update the bootloader. All the others are OK

Exact message at the bottom is

Cannot roll back hboot version

At the top of the screen it says HBOOT-6.93.1082

At the end it says update completed but when I reboot I am forever stuck on the htc (htc only) logo.

What am I doing wrong?

OK UPDATE by flashing the Bravo_downgrader from AlphaRev I managed to overcome the bootloader problem and finish the installation with no errors.

So if you have the same issue head to alpharev download the downgrade and flash it via flashboot flash hboot bravo_downgrader.img then redo the full installation of the RUU file

Only issue left that the HTC recovery goes on error ... but that is another issue.

I should also say that my SD card is currently 3gb with a 1gb with an EXT 4 partition.

When I receive the error my phone will neither boot into recovery or into the OS. My screen displays the HTC logo and then either goes black or has black lines across it.

All I currently want to do is get my Desire back to its stock 2.2 like it was when I got it out the box.

If anyone can shed some light on this that would be brilliant.

Rooted phone, but no root access. Can't move rom.zip file to root of SD.

Sorry dude, I have AlphaRev flashed Desire with 2.2 version of Android, so my phone is still S-OFF but doesn't have root access. When I install the official RUU 2.3 Gingerbread rom, it shows me a blank screen on boot (probably cause AlphaRev doesn't support 2.3).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
A goldcard is a normal sdcard whose certain hidden sectors are modified to make it one. So, whether there are files or not doesnt matter. It must be FAT32, there shouldnt be more than one partition so as to confuse Android. And the file must be renamed correctly. If you arent comfortable with doing it manually, use the pc tool ( PC application)

Hi,

I have HTC Desire Bravo bought it from Malaysia and I rooted it. Now I want to bakc to tock room but I don't know which RRU is the correct one can you help me ?

HBOOT:0.93.0001
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
How to find out which RUU works for you.

I can help you find out the correct RUU..You need to have adb installed to try this out. So download the Android SDK and install it. Then,

Do this:

Power off device.

Hold your Back button + Vol together to boot into Fastboot

Once in fastboot, plug in usb cable.

It should now display Fastboot USB

Now issue this command from the folder where fastboot.exe is present:

fastboot oem gencheckpt

Put in the output here.

I'm guessing that your file is this.

Download it, and follow my instructions on how to get the Rom.zip file from Temp.

Once you have it, open it in Winzip and open the file android-info.txt and post the content of this file too, here..

Once you do that, we can verify that this is your file.

It's always easier to install the WWE RUU with a goldcard, but this will debrand your device. So though a bit difficult, the above method is better.

Hi Again DroidZone,

Well now i have "ROOTED" my device with Unrevoked3 v 3.2.2 and it seemed to work.

Now that i am ROOTED can i now safely install the OTA update to FROYO 2.2 and if so should this be by using the inbuilt method of tapping the installation file or the method that you posted above? or is the OTA only to be used for later recovery?

Actually the current ROM is an ARA (Arabic) rom with no ASIA parts. so your suggested ASIA ROM is not the actual one. I will download some of the RUU files from the ROM site and extract the .txt file to verify. BUT what am I actually looking for now....is it the same ROM version (2.1) that matched my current device ROM ARA (HTC__J15

) so that i have a way to revert back to the stock ROM for any warranty issues later?

OR am I looking for a FROYO 2.2 updated ROM?

In the end I want to have the ROM files and GOLD CARD to be able to get back to my STOCK device conditions in the event of a warranty return. I then want to change the current Region ROM from ARA to the latest ANDROID with SENSE available probably WWE_ASIA or just WWE (if it supports Chinese character display on screen?).

I have TITANIUM Backup installed and so wonder if now is the time (before applying the 2.2 OTA update) to make my first "update.zip" file and then rename that one to "2.1 Stock ROM" then after the OTA do another and rename to "OTA 2.2 Stock ROM" and then finally to flash the WWE rom on to my Desire to get where i wanted to be?

EDIT: I downloaded and ran the RUU_Bravo_HTC_ARA_1.30.415.3_T_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_139993_signed.exe file on my Windows 7 PC but got an error message:

I did go to the TEMP folder at this error and see a file "data1.cab" and within that is a "android-info.txt " file but I'm unable to extract it.

Any suggestions or ideas?

After a fresh reinstall, if this of kind of problem occurs, its usually a hardware fault.

I'd bet that it's a hardware fault possibly with the board. The fact that it didnt manifest before you rooted it, could be a coincidence. Sorry, but all software errors should have gone when you ran the RUU. If any remains, it's a hardware fault. Get it checked by HTC.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiedodedo:
man you should know me by now

can you give me a link pls :$
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Hboot version isnt important to apply RUUs. You cant generally apply an RUU of a lower software version over a higher version. More important is the region code (and the country in which your device was purchased). See my previous posts here on how to find out your INFOCID version. If it isnt compatible with the RUU you try, you will need a goldcard to apply the RUU. SLCD/AMOLED does not matter as long as you stick with a software >=1.2.

Well, actually almost all roms now offer A2SD+ and DATA2EXT versions. A2SD+ does not move all data. So internal memory will slowly but steadily deplete and get over. DATA2EXT will give you as much internal memory as you want. But there will be performance issues esp with lower speed SD cards.

Some Roms which offer both DATA2EXT and A2SD+ with HTC Sense:

Neophyte's Aurax

Desire HD based Roms for Desire:

Alex-V 1.3 HD Rom

RCMixHD v0.14b

Of course there are Roms which offer A2SD+ only.

For both these kinds of Roms the only thing you need to know is to partition your sd card so as to split it into 2 partitions.

You must learn the knack of searching in XDA, else you'll upset some of the senior people here. :) For the links I posted, you could have searched for: [rom]

All Roms will be posted in HTC Desire>Desire Android Development with the tag [rom]
