[Q] Desire close to dead? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been searching the forums for two days now but can't find the answer. Could sombody please help me?
My problem is:
I have an s-off and rooted Desire. I rooted it after I had put on gingerbread. That was all working great. Until I decided to return to the standard HTC ROM again. I've now tried different RUU's even the last Gingerbread.
I think I've done something wrong because every time i get stuck when installing the ROM.
When I boot my Desire I get a black screen with HTC logo in each corner a triangle with exclamation point. I cannot boot into recovery anymore.
The error message I get is partition fail. and [6] system fail-pu.
With HBOOT is 6.93..., Alpharev CM7.
Who knows a solution to my problem. Please a detailed explanation. 'I m more of a noob than I thought.
Regards,
Ruvo

You have the CM7 hboot? RUU does not fit in that I think

I have the Alpharev CM7 HBOOT. I did try the RUU and now i'm stuck.
Do you know how to fix this?
I can't get in the bootloader anymore, so i can't flash anything.

You have to flash stock hboot and AlphaRev downgrader before flashing the RUU. Can you go into fastboot mode? If you can't I think there's a good chance your phone might be bricked.

I can't go into fastboot mode. Is there a way to go into fastboot mode from my laptop?

Search for user 'bortak' and look for his guide linked in his signature-sure the answers you need will be in it.

i am unsure on the hboot although if you tell me the possible options i can probably remember. i think it is 0.93.0001
he is using clockworkmod recovery uh the latest version. 5.x
he has no sd card partitions other than the fat32 1.
the rom he was previously using was official GB > miui > oxygen > runnymede > failed to boot and now stuck in bootloop but cant flash back to stock.
can you even get it into fastboot? ive had this recently, i used fastboot flash and then all the required things. It was my radio that was causing the bootloop. so as soon as i flashed that it boooted fine.

i didnt even know their was a fastboot for htc desire i use a xperia play which has fastboot never knew htc desire did . where can i get the files i need to flash? i guess the fastboot is the same as the fastboot.exe for xperia play? please send me link i am complete noob to the way HTC work.
Memories (even if they are right) does not help at all.
So tell your friend the following:
He should turn off his Desire, then press and hold volume down plus power button until a white screen with the androids at the bottom appears (he should see HBOOT in capital letters, blue highlighted). Now he should tell EVERYTHING what's written there and you post EXACTLY that here.
After this done, advise him to press the power button. Now he should see FASTBOOT in capital letters, red highlighted. If that's so, ask him turn off his Desire. If that's not so, let him tell you what happened instead and you post that here.
sorry late reply the hboot is the .93 one I said above.

Can you post the complete information you have about your hboot? You can't be S-Off after you updated to the official Gingerbread file from HTC... unless you did something else afterwards.
Try s-off again...

S-off but doesn't say alpharev or revolutionary. I haven't seen anything like this. Can the official HTC bootloader unlock do this? Strange to me at least.

Restore HTC Desire to stock

Hello all,
A friend of mine has rooted his HTC Desire by using the Mildwild ROM. Sometimes his phone is crashing with this ROM, so he wants to unroot his phone. Because I am such an awesome friend I offered to do this (actually he asked me, but whatever ). Right now I am stuck in the process of restoring his stock ROM.
The Bootloader gives me this information:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
Radio-4.05.00.11
Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18
So I need to restore the stock HBOOT. Therefore I download this file: http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_downgrade.zip. I change the name to 'PB99IMG.zip' and copy-paste it to the root of the SD card. When I try to flash the HBOOT in fastboot, this is what I get:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I don't know what is going wrong here, but obviously I'm doing something wrong. I hope you guys can help me find out what I need to do else.
Download the downgrader from alpharev website as the HBOOT is write protected and flash it from fastboot. Then download the htc 2.3 RUU from HTC dev and in fastboot connect to the pc and flash it back to stock

Stop being a dumbass, not everyone is "expert" as you. If your phone does not boot, you just don't give a f*ck about the forum you're posting.

Oh, I'm sorry mister "developer" if I hurt your altruistic feelings. My phone also doesn't boot sometimes but I tend to read the stickies and know what was the last thing I did.
Now that I remember, no wonder you give your approval to this since you did that too on occasion. Lol.

Gentlemen, I would like you to help me with this problem. I am sorry if I have posted this thread in the wrong (sub)forum, but I don't think that should be a reason for someone to not help me with this. I do know my fair share about computers, but phones are kind of new for me. Especially when it comes to (un)rooting them. So all your help would be very appreciated.
Did you changed PB99IMG_downgrade.zip. to PB99IMG.zip ?
And after you flash the hboot you cand install a ruu
thanks

Yes I did do that. This afternoon, by using another SD Card, I managed to downgrade the HBOOT. But which ROM do I need right now? I tried using the OTA (I do not have the link right now), but that doesn't work.

2.3 RUU is made for all devices and it can be obtained from htc dev site, I made a thread about it try to find it in Q&A section. To gain s-off after RUU is not a problem at all.

Next time, make sure the file was downloaded correctly using MD5 checksum. It's best practice!

Read the troubleshooting guide sticky at the top of q&a, it explains everything. Yes it even covers your EXACT situation...
It turns out you're not the first person to try to run an RUU...
Guides like that have been made to specifically explain every single eventuality, so you don't have to open another thread explaining exactly the same thing. We are not here to copy paste the very same instructions. Please read and use it.
