Hello,
I'm posting here in desperation, I really hope someone could help me.
I've recently bought a HTC Desire from O2. It was running Android 2.2 but I flashed cyanogenmod to it along with the latest radio.
Cyanogenmod worked fine but the radio stopped my 3G internet from working. In the end I decided to simply revert back to original setup using a RUU.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, the first RUU I tried ALMOST worked but then failed claiming a file was missing and that I needed to try a complete RUU.
From that point onwards I have been unable to find an RUU that will work - I constantly receive error code 140, bootloader version error.
Can anyone please tell me how to circumvent this error OR provide me with an O2 RUU that will work?
Here's the spec from my startup screen:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP - 051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.09.05.30_2
Please note that the only option I have available to me from the boot-menu is RUU - Any option to enter recovery mode is not visible.
Please please help me, thank you so much in advance.
I wish I could give helpful advice...
I'm gonna try though.
Download one of the latest RUU's from here.
Perhaps your RUU was a bit old?
I've only ever done RUU once, when sending my phone back for repair. I encountered another issue.
To the OP, which RUU are u trying to use?

Make sure you've got a goldcard then do the downgrade. After that you should be able to do any RUU you like.
Lol just try a different radio. Have you manually set your APN?

Hi dehaani. In order to run the downgrade utility I surely need to be able to access my device (to enable usb debugging ) I currently can't get further than a grey HTC logo with exclamation marks in the corners? Is there a way to downgrade without the need to boot in to a ROM?
I've tried running almost all RUU I can find online, most of them result in Error 140: Bootloader version error.
I can't flash another radio because the only option I have available to me in bootloader is "RUU", no option to restore etc. How do I manually set my APN?! Would this involve access to the phone too?
Thank you all so much for your responses so far, please keep helping.
try again hope good luck
This might have been pot luck on my part getting through to someone who knew their stuff, but I had a problem when flashing Oxygen RC7 to my desire.
I had to ring o2 about another contract I have, used by a family member, and they asked if there was anything else they could help with so I jokingly replied "not unless you know about flashing replacement ROMs..." would you Adam & Eve it, the clever little badger only went and talked me through the issue I had come across on my Desire.
Might be worth giving them a bell if you cant find a solution online, I've always found them very helpful.

Hi Gurus,
Since the last two weeks , I have tried almost all the options to debrand the Htc Desire Orange UK version, but not success, Below was my cell stock information when I purchased it.
Htc Desire Black Edition (PVT1) not brown one
Froyo 2.2
Hboot = 0.93.0001
Radio = 5.10
CID=ORANG001
I wanted to debrand it to generic from the Orange then I rooted it with UnRevoked and S-Off through AlphaRev and executed the file "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe" from shipped Roms.
After that I got the Radio V2 Fail, When I restarted the cell, there was no display, even the charging light was off.
I contacted a person that has RiffBox, he flashed it and changed the CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001.
My cell new configuration is as below :
Hboot=0.930001
Radio=4.06
CID=HTC__001
Right now I have only fastboot and hboot access with no ROM in cell phone .
After that I tried almost all the Roms from the shipped-roms's bravo secton, they gives 2 types of error upon executing :
1. partition update failed (error on Radio v2 pu fail)
2. signature verification failed.
I want to debrand my cell to generic one , so that I can get rid of Orange stuff.
I am stuck at that point, needed the expert guidance to pass through this situation.
Thanks
No Guru answered till yet !!!
Given that you are s-off and rooted why would you not just install one of the stock rooted ROMs from the second post in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
I personally would not have changed the CID, can you install your stock RUU anymore?
Thanks 'welshbloke70' for reply.
Well, After having flashed with RiffBox my cell is no longer rooted or s-off.
Currently I have just fastboot and only hboot menu access. RECOVERY is not operational now.
When I turned on the cell, it directly comes to fastboot menu due to no
ROM in cell after flashing. So in this case I can only install from RUU or PB99IMG.zip, the xda link you gave have all the the ROMS but for rooted cell phones.
As now I have changed CID (HTC__001) which is the generic one, so I dont get any CID error upon installing generic RUU.
Any other suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Paul,
I think the Gurus/expert are there are too much busy thats why they can not respond.
Well I saw your given link. It requires clockworkmod or Armon recovery, currently I am not rooted, so can not use the roms there.

Do you have a Gold Card??? Cause your problem sounds pretty bad. Since you aren't rooted and you don't have a recovery, it is pretty obvious that you can't install a custom ROM.
I guess you tried also the latest version of RUU which is 2.29.405.5 if you are from EUROPE.
From what I've read you can flash an branded RUU or another RUU on a branded phone only if you have a Gold Card. Now I don't know if this applies to you since you are no longer branded, but you can give it a shot if you haven't tried yet.
I think there is a tutorial on how to make a Gold Card even if you can't access the phone or see the screen. I'll look for it and post it here.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks 'UsManyDead' for taking interest in my case. The answers are as below :
1. Yes, I have gold card, for now its useless. Because as I know we need the gold card only if we are going to install a rom that is different from the current cell CID.
In my case I have already changed my CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001 and any generic RUU supports HTC__001 so there is no need of gold card in my case.
2. Any custom rom can not be installed due to fact that cell is no more rooted.
Only PB***.zip or Ruu can solve the problem. I have tried almost all the roms and ruu from shipped-roms. but they give 2 types of errors as I mentioned in my first post. I have also tried 2.29.405.5 many times but no success.
I know the options are becoming very few , but I hope that I will pass through this failure from you and xda community users.
Any other advice will be welcomed.
Thanks
Hello once again. I just read a little more about your problem, which is very rare but found some good threads you should read and try.
REMEMBER TO READ THEM IN FULL ( FROM FIRST PAGE TILL THE LAST ONE ) and maybe post your problem there, might be easier to get help.
First thread: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 ( even if it is for bricked SLCD, something in there might actually help, for example how to get the PB99IMG.zip from a RUU file)
Second thread (a continuation of the first): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734
Third thread (where I actually found your exact problem): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000385 . Someone explains some kind of "voodoo" to be done to repair the error you get, and there are positive results, and I think you can use the first 2 thread to get the PB99IMG.zip.
Give it a try and remember to read them in full to understand. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I flashed a an RUU thinking it would solve my issue but of course it just left me with a USB Brick unrooted! You can't write to that and no access with Adb. I got great help from Unrevoked page which fixed me by getting me back to root.

Thank all of you for taking interest in my problem.
At the end I have got success BUT with failure. Here is my story.
1. Erased and Flashed with RiffBox with CID=11111111 (super id)
2. Kept cell phone in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
3. Installed the new ROM from PB99IMG.zip (PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip ) without any error.
4. Kept cell phone again in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
5. Started the cell phone for the first time and executed setup and went till the Home screen fine.
6. Tried some games and flash intensive web sites, and ohhh the phone rebooted.
It rebooted again and again. Untill I pulled out the battery and put it again after 30 minutes, but was unable to reach home screen.
Again kept the cell phone in refrigerator and phone works for a short time before it starts reboot loop.
So the main problem is rebooting now.
I spent nearly 16 hours on net , reading forums/posts for solution but at the end found that there is no solution except the motherboard replacement.
I am in PK and here is no HTC service center. I bought it second hand so dont have any warranty card/info with me.
So its just like a piece of scrape for me.
Anyways again thank you all for the great help. May be this refrigerator solution could work for anyone.
Thanks,
Ali
Have you tried changing cid back to orange and flashing correct ruu?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
No, I didn't try to change the CID to orange. And there is no orange related PB** or RUU on shipped roms.
I dont think Orange have done some customization in kernel or any other part.
I have seen threads running the generic version on orange brand phone. So it shouldn't be a issue, however bootloop problem is not related to either generic or orange brand rom , its related to motherboard.
Have you seen any post in which generic rom is initiating bootloop while the orange rom solved it ?
Thanks,
Ali
No Ali, I haven't. Seeing that you are in the dead end, I think that its worth trying everything from scratch. Don't know much about cid change, but could it be that cid is in a few places and now that you've changed it it sort of fights itself ? Will have a look into all this a bit later, I'm far from guru, but with a bit of luck should be able to find some info.

Hi tinky1,
Well, I have complete nandroid backup (boot, data, recovery and system images). I did it when I was rooted by unrevoked (clockworkmod).
Currently I have installed stock rom '2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_ release_159811', so how can I restore my earlier backup (i will again change the CID to orange, no issue) ?
Please remember i can not root now due to boot loop problem.
Any suggestion ?
Ali
So what do you actually have working? Bootloader, fastboot, recovery? Does phone bootloop when (if you can) you go into one of these?
Currently I have working fastboot and hboot. Recovery is not working , it stuck on HTC green logo.
Normal phone startup is also not functional, it reboots itself before it reaches 'Quietly Brilliant' logo.
I have managed to install Cyanogenmod 7 but the bootloop problem still exist. Analyzing the problem.

Hello guys.
As I can see - my problem is unique and almost noone has solved it, but I won't give up.
Okay, let's start from the beginning.
I had stock firmware with 2.29 OS version (no matter to write all the numbers of version, just 2.29). In order to have something newer and with new HTC Sense, I managed to get the Cool3D RunnyMede v7 firmware on my phone.
Like in many tutorials I went on htcdev.com and used to unlocking bootloader. I followed all the steps and finally got the unlocked butloader, but with s-on (I saw no matter on it, as I do now).
Downloaded the clockwork mod, I proceeded to flash my phone, and after some problems I had the custom firmware. Okay, all is good, but what the problem? Problem was that I could not use anything of phone's functions, just had no service. Okay, it was the radio problem. It was caused by that fact that while s-on, I upgrade the firmware but not radio (but it was in archive with firmware too).
Cause I had s-on I had no chance to flash my radio.
S-on was caused by htcdev RUU updater, that made my phone having hboot 1.03.0003.
Now I have no firmware, just clockworkmod 2.5.0.7, s-on and hboot 1.03.0003.
When I try to setup official RUU I have the 140 error, it means that in ROM that I try to set up is lower version of hboot that I have. When I try to replace it on my hboot (extracting it from the hboot updater) I get error 132, it means CID problem, but in android-info.txt in ROM's file I have the same, that on my phone.
Can anyone help me, or I just have to write to HTC Support, and after having no answer break my phone about the nearest wall?..
Check bortak's troubleshooting guide (see my sig).
Thanks, but I've seen it for many times, don't know what can help me...
Maybe goldcard?.. Anything else?
Hi there is a way how to downgrade your 1.03 hboot in resources of bortak's guide or you can find it here
after downgrade you can run revolutionary to get s-off and flash your preferred radio
Hey guy, it looks helpful as nothing I've seen before; thank you; I'll write about the result.
It works.)
Thanks a lot.

Hi I've been searching for days and have always been able to find answers but this one has got me.
My gf has a HTC Desire HD, pretty sure it's Vodafone since she works there. Tried to do a normal update a while ago and it never started since, just sits on the HTC logo. I can boot into fastboot hboot recovery and all that but I'm stuck as to what to do from here.
I have found a couple of WWE RUU's but the error out with a CID error, I've also found a Vodafone backup someone took from clockwork but this phone only has stock recovery and I don't know how to flash clockwork without being able to boot the phone.
Hoping someone might have an easy answer, please let me know if I need to provide more details.
Thanks.
If its rooted just place a rom on the sd and flash it with full wipe. You are not suppose to accept OTA updates if the phone is rooted if Im not mistaken. If not rooted then go to HTC websight and get the official RUU and install, instructions should be on websight.

Get me the CID and Iwill provide u with a ruu that works...VODAFONE from where? not all ruu's are available, but at least we can find one that makes your phone back to work...:good:
Unfortuanately it isn't rooted, I probably would've had more luck by now if it was.
I can't see the CID on the bootloader is there a command on fastboot or something to find this? I've been searching but can't find anything.
Sorry I thought of that afterwards, it's Vodafone Australia.
Thanks for the replies guys!
I just tried that European RUU thought I didn't have anything to loose but it came back with ERROR 132 Signature Error.
The Australian HTC site doesn't have a RUU to download that I can see.

yep, do the following: boot in hboot and choose fastboot. Then plug the phone (check that you see fastboot usb in red)
Open cmd as admin or a terminal as root and then, type fastboot getvar all. Get the INFOcidnum and paste it here. With that I will try to find a ruu that works. But stop trying flashing other things...you might mess the device.
Hi
Thanks again for the help. The cidnum: VODAP021
Hope this helps, I haven't checked out those other links yet though.

Solution!!
Ok firstly sorry it's taken me ages to post this but I finally came up with a solution to this problem using a few different guides and instructions on these forums.
So the problem was I had a Vodafone AU branded HTC Desire HD that had no root and a locked bootloader that was stuck in a bootloop after a failed official update. The main problem is that there is NO stock recovery ROM ANYWHERE for a Vodafone AU HTC Desire HD, trust me I looked and I am not new to looking for stuff like this. glevitan provided me with a WW ROM that I managed to get working with a bit of work, there are also many WW ROM's around that you should also be able to use. I'll try to explain as best I can as to how I got it to work (going from memory) so if anyone else has a similar problem they may be able to use this information.
1. Firstly find a suitable WW ROM to flash, it needs to be a PD98IMG.zip image to copy to an SD card. There is a Vodafone AU dump on this forum but that will not work if you are completely stock standard. I think you can get this zip from the RUU or maybe ask glevitan if he wouldn't mind helping in providing this again. I didn't want to link to his file but there are others around.
2. Create a goldcard. If you turn your SD card into a goldcard it will allow any ROM to be flashed, normally it would only accept the Vodafone AU one but by doing this it will accept the WW one. To do this I used a second phone to create the card.
I used the Ultimate multi tool which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180639
You may have to do a bit of reading on getting it to work, from memory you have to put in a number to a website to generate a file, I think I ended up using a different website, there's a few options in getting this done, google is your friend for this
3. Once the goldcard is created copy the PD98IMG.zip to the root directory and put it back into the phone.
4. Turn on the phone and boot to hboot by holding vol up (I think) on power on. The phone should automatically check for a suitable PD98IMG.zip file and as long as the goldcard process worked and you have a suitable ROM on the root directory it should flash it fine.
This is basically what I did and it successfully booted after a lot of looking around. I hope this helps people in the future with similar problems. If you need to ask any questions about this process as I haven't provided every single detail please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help you out.
Thanks again to glevitan for helping and providing a suitable ROM to flash.
Hello,
I tried to help out a friend with rooting a Desire Z. He used the guide on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912. He was still on stock and everything and the guide pointed to that to do first.
According to him everything went fine untill he got at point "I - 4a) Manual Downgrade". After reviewing the files he had used it seemed to me that he had used the G2 version of PC10IMG.zip instead of the Desire Z version (could see it when inspecting how large the file was)
He told me that all other steps before (the temp rooting etc etc) was no problem. And after he rebooted his phone the install of PC10IMG started. After the first reboot however the phone stuck.
The situation now is a follows:
* phone does not boot. It gets stuck at the white screen with green HTC letters/logo and then does nothing
- S-ON
- Phone does boot into Hboot (version HBOOT-0.82.0000)
- RADIO-26.02.01.15_m2
- eMMC-boot
I can get into Fastboot and can send commands thru adb to the phone. However commands that try to flash result in a FAILED blabla signature. Probably since its S-ON status
SDcard is recognized (finally) and I managed to make it accept a stock rom. Many other .zips fail. System says no image or wrong image when searching for them.
I suspect the phone has a wrong bootloader (?) and will only accept G2 roms (wich would not be right since its a Desire Z (?)).
Things I tried so far:
* flash a stockrom: It did do something (saw the blue "loading" bar in the bootloader). After it's done it verifies and returns to the bootloader. The I reboot but it still hangs at white screen with green letters HTC/logo
* tried to flash other roms by putting then on the SD. Gives message no image or wrong image
* tried with adb with fastboot. Nothing is accepted.
Is this phone beyond DIY repairs? Advice or tips would be greatly appreciated (since this crap costed me already a full saturday and sunday)
Many thanks in advance!
(PS: I should have the basic knowledge about rooting, adb and such. Also I rooted my own desire Z succesfully already)
use THIS RUU directions will be there
now DOWNGRADE AGAIN which you already know
then follow either THE XDA WIKI or THE CYANOGEN WIKI or STRAWMETALS PDF GUIDE

Thanks a lot for your reply!
I tried what you suggested 3 times and this is the outcome:
The program starts up fine. Checks the phone with no errors. After a few install screens the phone reboots into a black screen with silver letters HTC (same as seen with adb/fastboot I think?). It starts wiping userdata. Then it says "busy sending"; goes all fine.
The it gets to the point sending "signature" (not sure if I translate correct. I have a dutch version or at least the install was in dutch).
And after a while I get:
ERRORCODE: 130 (model-ID error)
Get right updateapplication and retry
during install it said I had image version 1.00.000.0 and asked if want to update to 2.16.531.6
Anymore advice or sugestions I could try?
Thanks in advance for your answer!

Seems I can go into some kind of recovery mode (choosing recovery from menu >> gives black screen with greenish icon >> gives red triangle
at that screen I do volume + and power and it gives me a menu in wich I can choose update from SD. Not sure if that can help me in any way? Maybe there is some .zip I can install and reset everything back to factory or something?
Tried already to select something there but gives an error:
(in yellow line) E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
Sounds serious tome
Then you'll need the ruu for your model phone, got to HTC.com, find support, look for desire z, then find downloads, follow same steps as before

Tried quite a lot of RUU versions but everytime the same damn message:
ERRORCODE: 130 (model-ID error)
Get right updateapplication and retry
Tried to get unlocked bootloader with the tool from HTCdev but that gave me a message ERROR[191]: ROM not supported
Anything else I can try out? (going to try and see if I can get something of a rom thru a goldcard but my hopes dwindle by the minute
Thanks in advance for any help/advice
[EDIT]
After hours and hours of reading I can only think of 2 things myself:
1. somehow the emmc is defunct (broken or totally messed up beyond flashable)
2. it has a wrong radio version (= bricked beyond DIY repairs as far as I could read)
Therefor I descided to contact a company that can JTAG the phone and restore it to its glory. What is a reasonable price for such?
If anyone else has still some tips I'll keep watch of this thread
You can't use an older version of the software/firmware so you would need the latest from HTC, if the phone already has the latest installed then you would need a gold card to change the cid. Problem is, as far as I know, you need to at least a functioning adb access to make a gold card.
Being its hard to the version that you were running the state your phone is in, my guess you are at the latest ota, so if there was a ruu that came out for it that wasn't an ota then that will probably be the only one that works. Its a long shot, but you could call HTC (don't mention rooting just say you picked up the phone at it was like this) and ask for a link to the latest ruu so you can try and fix it, even if you're past warranty they should point you in the right direction

Thanks a lot for your advice Demkantor
According to my friend he checked for OTA updates a few days ago (was his motivation in the first place to unroot and flash a custom since he was pissed that his great device didnt get much love anymore from updates and after seeing my Desire working on a custom hehe)
I checked out the RUU versions and also read that they kinda only work if it essentially updates the device (checked the site http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision.
Tried a lot from there but only the WWE versions (CID of gsm was one of those numbers that indicated the gsm is unbranded)
For the sake of it I did make a goldcard and tried to use the extracted rom from an RUU. No luck. It sees it, sends it but fails at checking after that and returns to Hboot. Had a hope that the downgrade (step before perm root) was kinda succesful...
Gonna give it one last try with one of the none WWE versions with the lastest version number to see what it does.
I'll keep you posted!
PS: Damn I wished Gigabyte would make phones! I bet they'd put in some kind of recover rom in case the **** hits the fan hehe
Hello all!
I may be new to XDA, but i lurk a lot... And over the years this is the first time i've ever needed to post.
Right.. So today i bought an "HTC Desire HD" or 'Ace'
It was on Froyo (2.1?) S-ON and hboot 0.85 or something
I tried using AAHK - Which is fine, I've used it before successfully on my other DHD.
This time it was upgrading/downgrading a radio, error'd and quit.
It then restarted and bootloooped.
I tried Factory Restore did nothing
I then tried using many and various RUU's but i always get Error 131 or Error 190
I tried making a GoldCard to boot the phone still nothing
I also tried the PD98IMG.zip in the SD card (Tried with GoldCard too) Still Error 131
GoldCard does work as have tested it on another phone.
Currently sat staring at HBOOT wondering what the hell i can do to get it too switch back on!
The phone is locked to Orange UK with S-ON
The file that i believe to fix my phone is called "RUU-Ace-Orange-UK.18" something, but it just doesn't exist. I've searched all of google and only found dead links.
Just a little motivation, I'll donate to whom ever provides the fix for my phone my old Xperia Mini e10i! Thanks
AAHK is retired, and the server hosting the files it needs has been pulled. Without S-Off you can't flash radios. Are you just trying to root? If so, you can unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery, and flash a rooted ROM from there. You can't flash radios, but you can flash custom ROMs. The link in my signature has more detailed guides.
EDIT: but you will first need to update your hboot.

Please link me to hboot update, I've looked around but all links give me "downloadmanagerS.exe" :/
EDIT: I found the file for RUU Ace Orange UK (My phone is on Orange), but it's not finding my phone. And when i took the ROM out of it, and put onto simcard it's giving me an Incorrect Model ID
I believe that because your hboot is too old, you need to create a gold card to flash a RUU that supports hboot unlock. How to do that is beyond the scope of my knowledge, and due to the fact that the guy who used to handle all this stuff (glevitan) is no longer active here, you may just need to hope someone else shows up. You could try to look through his posts for that info.

So my phone is dead then D;
Basically you need to create a Goldcard and upgrade your bootloader.
I also have a Orange DHD and i am S-Off'd using another methord but the difference is that i have sense 3.0.
But due to your phones CID being ORANG001 you'll need the goldcard as there is no orange RUU firmware only HTC generic firmware.
Shot a PM if you still need help.
