140 bootloader version error please help! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
Have a Htc Desire which was originally on the Orange network but recently unlocked it to T-mobile(uk).
I now am in the process of debranding it but have hit a glitch.
Have successfully made a gold card which is still inside the phone.
Only problem i have is that when trying to replace/update the rom via a RUU file i get the following error above (140 bootloader version error).
I think the error maybe caused by following an old tutorial as my current image is 2.17.61.3 and the one i am using is RUU Bravo HTC Europe 1.15.405.3 Radio_32.30.00.28U 4.05.00.11 Release 121865.
Can someone point me in the right direction on what correct files i need so that i am still running the latest files.
Is it Froyo if so can you link me to where i can find it.
Many thanks for any help given in advance!

[Q] O2 HTC Desire Can't Apply RUU Please Help!

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?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
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.

[Q] Still getting CID incorrect after creating GoldCard

Hello guys,
I have tried to lookup the solution to my problem both on google and at XDA as well however I wasn't successful to find any resolution so I turn to you Android guru's in hope you can help me with this.
I wanted to unroot my Desire and go back to S-ON from S-OFF. I followed the steps on how to create the GoldCard and I successfully created it. However if I download the original RUU in zip file and try to flash it in HBOOT I am still getting the error CID incorrect.
I bought the phone from a retailer here in the Czech Republic and it was supposed to be unbranded and unlocked. However the phone came only with a UK plug so from this I think this phone was supposed to be sold in the UK so there should be installed a UK stock ROM as well. And also is there some way to find out if the phone was debranded? And also one another weird thing. The phone came with installed clockwork recovery. I don't suppose the clockwork recovery is in the stock RUU by HTC.
Thank you very much for your advices!
have a look on turqueys' s thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814381

find your Froyo RUU and run it.
by the way, After running the Gingerbread RUU ,your Hboot will be upgraded to 1.02 ,which is not rootable at the moment.
what exactly are you trying to do?? in order to run a WWE RUU you need a goldcard (if you're branded).
I still don't get why you rooted and S-OFF'd just to run a RUU
As stated above, the CID error is a classic symptom of attempting to update without a goldcard (from a carrier branded phone).
You'll need to create a goldcard and patch your MMC, then run the desired RUU again.

[Q] How to get S-OFF on HBOOT 0.80???

Hey everyone,
Appologies if this has already been asked.
I've searched the forums but couldn't really find an answer to this...
I currently have a rooted Wildfire which is running CyanogenMod 7 Nightly 177.
It has HBOOT 0.80.xxxxxx and I want to get it S-OFF.
Why? Because I want to play around a little with the default partition sizes.
Does anyone know how to get S-OFF for HBOOT 0.80.xxxx?
Could someone provide me with a link to a solution?
Many thanks in advance!
You can't. It was the first thing I tried when Alpharev X was released and was greeted by "Your device is not supported at this time" error. It has to be 1.01.0001
Alright, then another thing:
How do I update HBOOT to version 1.01.0001 in order to get S-OFF working?
Flash an RUU with HBoot 1.01.0001. One such RUU is Froyo WWE 2.24.405.1 available at Shipped ROMs.
Thanx for helping 3xeno!
But could you provide me with a link to download it?
I've been searching on shipped-roms but can't find the version you mentioned?
Not to sure about the other ones... :S
It's 2.22.405.1. WTF, I wrote the wrong code above. Sorry about it. :/
Please avoid 2.24, it will probably give you 1.01.0002
Alright, found it. But it's a .exe file.
Can I flash this in the same way that we flash .zip files?
No, Connect your Wildfire to your PC and run the EXE file. The rest of the process is automated. It will probably help more if you flash this Safe Flash RUU first:

[Q] Orange Desire Unroot help

Hey guys, I am selling my trusty desire now, it has served me well but its time has come...
If anyone would like to buy it off me, they are welcome to, message me, I'm looking for 110.
I am struggling a lot to get started on the unrooting process. I've been reading through posts, topics, on here and modaco and I'm getting more and more confused
Here are the facts.
Its a limited edition black version released by orange. It was locked. Unrooted using unrEVOked method.
Its currently on Oxygen.
BaseBand Version states 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
HBOOT is cm7r2
HBOOT version says its 6.93.1002
I tried to follow this but the nand link is dead.
I don't have the original backup I made, I must have deleted it somewhere down the line... silly me
I want to revert it to a stock GBB rom, no bloatware, and unlocked. I have the unlock code for my phone, but is it possible to revert it to a stock version?
I looked at this list to find the correct RUU, which one do I use?
Please, somebody help me out here! I have no clue what to do!
Sorry about all this...
First make sure to flash the bravo_stock bootloader, then the downgrader.
You need to make a goldcard and flash the WWE RUU, because Orange didn't release any.

I tried the FroYo RUU first, used the process in your thread that is stickied at the top of this forum (the rom.zip extraction) but that just stuck on the splash screen. So I went on the HTC Dev site and used the same method to extract the Gingerbread update and that worked no probs. Thank you so much for your help!
