Unfortunately that's an abandoned project. (lack of time..)

The issue you're experiencing is extremely rare and I can't connect it with anything else - not enough reports or occurrences. It is, however, reversible, for all I know if it's indeed related to the app. Some of those guys got their phone running normally after various scenarios: flashing different radios / hboots; re-running the app with new radios/hboots/sim cards; playing around with network settings in the hidden menu; flashing various RUUs (some of them have radio settings); returning to factory defaults by using xtc-clip.

So I can't think of a specific solution because I can't link it with anything for sure.
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
If your device is S-OFF unzip the file at bottom of this post and put it on root of sdcard reboot into bootloader and select volume up and it will take you the DIAG screen just follow what it says and select CLEAN S58DATA ( THIS WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE AND UNLOCK ALL LOCKS INCLUDING SIM LOCK )

THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOUR DEVICE IS S-OFF

[Desire General] ZippyDan:
Your solution sounds great but I got the following result from hboot:

Parsing...[PB99DIAG.nbh]

[1] MFG DIAG

Checksum Incorrect!

Update Fail!
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
bad download re download again and make sure checksum is correct with the 1 posted on download site thanks ( make sure your on stock rom also x ) i have just downloaded the zip file and i tried it and it works so i know it is working but just make sure your s-off and on stock Hboot and stock rom :)
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Always wondered what the PB99DIAG was for, learn something new everyday.
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
hehe :P Yeh it is for XTC Clip so because i have xtc clip i just use is on every device i have had once i get s-off i use it to gain sim unlock. Some people go through having a android phone and never even know it has a hboot mode lol wish i could be like that. But once i know i can make a phone faster more reliable i am hooked ;) x
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Hahaha im the same, got a desire s for very cheap n i said im not gona do nothing to it, just use it as a "phone". Yh... That idea lasted 2 hours lol
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
Haha x Yh i had DS too :) Got rid t ho i seem to swap or buy new phones all the time lol :D half i have had to sim unlock so pick my devices carefully. AT&T are asses tho :'( I lost my contract galaxy s3 and did not have it insured so am stuck with a stupid sim card only contract but once that is up im getting the new HTC One :D xx
[Desire General] ZippyDan:
I have stock ROM, but I had to use Revolutionary to S-OFF ... doesn't that modify the hboot? How can I have stock hboot AND S-OFF?

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

I verified the md5 of the downloaded zip file. I verified that the extracted nbh on my HD and the nbh on the sdcard match.

I formatted the sdcard as FAT32 in Win7 and there is NOTHING else on the card except pb99diag.nbh. Is there something wrong here? I thought maybe I need to use a gold card, but it seems that the website to allow me to do that is permanently offline.

I am running stock ROM and I have achieved S-OFF using Revolutionary (is the problem here?)

I'm so hopeless right now.
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
Gold cards only needed for device with S-ON. because your S-OFF goldcards are worthless you already have FULL control of the device. I wonder why it keeps failing it is fine on my phone. What Hboot you using alpharev or stock ? if your using alpharev or any other custom hboot you will never get it to work it has to be used with STOCK hboot :) x
[Desire General] ZippyDan:
again, I'm using Revolutionary to get to S-OFF. After S-OFF it seems to change the hboot. How can I have S-OFF AND stock hboot?

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------

I tried flashing the RUU. and it changes my system back to S-ON

Additionally, with S-ON I still got the same "Incorrect Checksum" error from the PB99DIAG.nbh file...
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
You sure when you flash RUU it takes you back to S-ON :S I NEVER used xtc clip on this desire but when i flash RUU I STAY S-OFF with stock HTC bootloader :S
[Desire General] ZippyDan:
Maybe if I flashed the WWE RUU then I would stay S-OFF... but this seems to be a Telstra branded phone. I have to use the Telstra RUU to flash or else I get a "Incorrect Model ID" error and the RUU fails. I think that might be what I need a Gold Card for?

But actually when I tried to flash with WWE, it still flashed over my hboot, it only failed to flash on the ROM part, and yes ... it reverted me back to S-ON.

So now I have S-ON with the stock hboot, and it still gives me "Incorrect Checksum" for the PB99DIAG.nbh. Are you sure that file is not ID'd just for your specific device?

Maybe I need to "unbrand" the phone? I still am not clear on how to do that, but I thought I might also need a Gold Card for that?

I just ran across a random thread in the EVO 3D forums that there is actually a bootloader S-ON/OFF and a radio S-ON/OFF. This is interesting thought I'm not sure if that really matters to my Desire or to my situation...

This is so frustrating.
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
No this file works on ANY desire. it can be used on ANY Hboot and ANY desire. It is generated by my xtc clip and is the correct checksum i have checked and re checked with the same file i generated 10 pb99diag.nbh they have same MD5 as the 1 i uploaded. The file is correct it is your device thats the problem
[Desire General] ZippyDan:
I agree that my device is the problem... so how do I fix it?

Why is it turning S-ON when I flash the RUU?

How do I unbrand the phone so that I can flash a WWE RUU instead of a Telstra RUU?

Also, could it be the microSD card? What card are you using? How should it be formatted? Is there any way to flash the PB99DIAG.nbh from the console (through USB?)
[Desire General] ZippyDan:
After doing lots more reading, I really think I need a gold card to get this branded phone unbranded and then unlocked. Unfortunately, it seems like it is impossible to get gold cards for the desire anymore..
[Desire General] -=nezero=-:
You don't "get" goldcards, you "make" a Goldcard!!
[Desire General] ZippyDan:
Yes, I'm aware of that. But you can't "make" a goldcard until you "get" a goldcard image from a website that is used by the goldcard tool. And that website has been taken down and offline for months now. http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
[Desire General] -=nezero=-:
Follow this example of how to do it.

Works every time for me.

On a different note, i have a HTC Desire A8181. I have read some reports that this tool works for it though i can't seem to get it to work. Just tells me its not a desire. Can anyone confirm it works?
[Desire General] ZippyDan:
Your link is for instructions on how to S-OFF an HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G. This is the forum for the vanilla HTC Desire. I don't think those instructions will be compatible.

And it still does not help with creating a gold card for the HTC Desire...
[Desire General] -=nezero=-:
Did you read the page? It has all the info and software on creating Gold Card Images! Just out of curiosity, i just did it myself, it worked. Though you have to find the mount point for your SD card, as it will be different for a Desire, but all the info is there to do it.
[Desire General] ZippyDan:
And how do you know that the algorithm for creating a Gold Card for the Desire is the same as for the Desire HD? When you say you "just did it" do you mean you just did it on a Desire or on a DHD/Inspire?
[Desire General] ZippyDan:
Wow it is just one thing after another. The first step in the process is to do an HTC Dev Unlock. But to do this I need to execute the command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" which apparently the installed fastboot/hboot does not respond to. I am already running the latest Telstra RUU on the device. So how can I update the fastboot? It seems I could only update the fastboot with something custom, and if I do that, is the get_identifier_token still valid? I feel like I'm going in circles.

Hi, I have just done this by burning the iso and it came up with serial errors (sorry couldn't get it all) but it did say it was done and when I put a o2 card (was T-Mobile) it does not ask for an unlock code but when you try to select o2 it says it is unable to connect to that network? I put the T-Mobile card back and it works fine. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Cheers

[Desire General] rexjarvis:
Worked for me thank you very much indeed :)

Unlocked from Vodafone Spain.
[Desire General] Batmandroid:
I have 3 questions about this whole process.

1. Do i need a sim card in the desire that i wish to unlock for this software to work?

2. Can this process render my sim card useless, or harm it in any way?

3. Can I do this using a micro sim, which was originally the actual sim that came with this phone, and is now cut down to micro sim size, and will using this micro-sim, affect what the answer for 2. might be?
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
To answer your all 3 of your questions, this process has nothing to do with your sim card.
[Desire General] Batmandroid:
I see. I guess that's both good news and bad news, because I don't have a sim card now that I've cut mine down to micro sim size, but now I don't understand why this utility wasn't working for me.

I'll try a different USB port, because for some reason that sometimes makes a difference for my phone.

Other than that, I'm not sure why the utility can't find my phone.

It just searches for it endlessly.

It tells me to put phone in debug mode, which I've done, but that didn't seem to change anything.

I've tried putting it on "charge only" and also on "Disk drive" and that didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever.

Any ideas?
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
What hboot are you on?
[Desire General] Batmandroid:
0.93.0001
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Did you install the hboot drivers?
[Desire General] Batmandroid:
Not as far as i know.

Do I have to root the phone to unlock it?
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
No need for root. Just follow this guide:

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
[Desire General] Batmandroid:
Ok, So i installed the drivers as you said. It seemed like everything worked. I just want to make sure i don't brick my phone, so i have one more question.

The first post said something like "note, you don't need to have phone booted in hboot on windows." now, to me, that means i could have it loaded in hboot, but don't need it.

When it was booted in hboot, and the drivers were installed, as you had directed, the software prompted me to force unlock. Which i think means everything is cool, i select 'y', and i'm good to go.

It's just that the first post said i didn't need to be in hboot, that has me just wanting to make sure, that i should force the unlock.

I tried rebooting the phone and just entering debug mode, connected usb, and my device manager displayed something different than after hboot driver install, and the software didn't find the phone.

I know i might sound like a bit of a retard, but i just want to make 100% sure, that forcing the unlock while in hboot, is indeed what i want to do, and will not result in bricking my phone.

thanks for your help.
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
This unlocking will not result in a brick. You have to really struggle to brick your phone.

This unlocks the phone through hboot. For it to work, you need hboot drivers (makes sense, doesn't it?). The phone will be booted in hboot automatically, even if you don't boot it manually. Just go for it. There's nothing that can go wrong.
[Desire General] Batmandroid:
Sweet. Thanks man. Looks as though everything went perfectly. I don't have a sim card to test it out right now, but all signs point to success.

Thanks again.

Thank you

Thank you for the utility! Worked like a charm (version 0.9.5) the first time for a Desire (bravo) A8181 simlocked on Vodafone. There was no error, the program reported 2,2 seconds working time, and the phone is now tested unlocked.

Phone had previously been rooted with Revolutionary and 4Ext Touch recovery, and now runs Cyanogen 10.1 Jelly Bean (4.2.2) smoothly.

Great work! Thank you!
[Desire General] merlowalter:
Thaks.

Worked so Fine..!! The program didnt recognize the phone in windows, so i run the HBOOT (power key + volume down), run the program and plug the phone.

When prompted me to force the unlock, i answerd yes. Worked in 5 seconds..!!

Thanks so much.!

Funciona bien. El programa no me reconoce el telefono en windows. Entonces entre al menu HBOOT. Una vez allì, ejecutè el programa y enchufe el telefono. Cuando me preguntò si queria forzar la liberacion puse que si, y en 5 segundos lo liberò.

Muchas Gracias.

Hello all. First off, sorry for my n00b question :o , and thanks sieempi for this app.

Has anyone used this utility to successfully unlock a desire with the following specs:

MICROP - 051d

TOUCH PANEL - SYNW0101

I was about to leisurely run the app without any hesitation until i read this post, and now im a bit reluctant. Thanks in advance :)
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
I did it with the exact same specs about one year ago, and everything went fine and smooth.

I guess something has to eventually go wrong, and it happened to that unlucky guy.
[Desire General] Chromium:
Thanks. I feel like I'm going to end up unlucky :p

My options are to unlock the phone now using this tool, or wait six hours (until school is done) without a network to get an official unlock code for $35. Decisions, decisions...

2. Install this exe driver and these usb drivers via device manager.

3. Download and extract v0.9.5

4. Run adb.exe, then run HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5.exe

5. It should say something like the phone is already in HBOOT. Would you like to force unlock? Enter "y", and it should finish in a few seconds and automatically reboot the phone.

It's rooted - Oxygen ROM

I've followed meticulously the instructions on v0.9.4 and v0.9.5 to no avail.

On version 0.9.4 it sees the handset runs it onto hboot but then just puts dot after dot onto the screen. It's obviously trying to do something and not succeeding

On version 0.9.5 it either crashes or, doesn't "see" the handset.

This is enormously frustrating, so any help would be massively appreciated people.

I re-installed the drivers again on hboot exactly as the guide explains and then the unrevoked detected my phone without problem in all steps. My desire is now unlocked and can use any card.

I've tried unlock utility 0.9.4 and 0.9.5, why can't I unlock it, I've looked through about 40 pages of this thread and can't find a definitive answer to why it won't work.

Those who's phone have worked haven't really given any details on their phones for comparison, just (deserved) thanks, which probably accounts for 40% (clogged) of this entire thread, which doesn't help those with problems, searching for solutions.
