Hi,

Wonder if anyone can give me some tips. I'm trying to put my HTC Desire back to stock via the RUU, but can't seem to establish a connection with the phone and its current ROM.

Currently:
AlphaRev
Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17-05.23
Aug 10 2010 17:52:18

ROM: Cyanogen 7
Android Ver: 2.3.7
BB: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Mod Ver: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-Desire

I've tried the following:

Installing HTC Sync, Removing just HTC Sync, Trying to connect phone to both Windows 8 and Windows 7 environments and running RUU. Result was Error 170

Installing PdaNet, Installing HTC Drivers from there, generated an error code in Windows 8. Ran on Windows 7 VM, but RUU still errored with Error 170

Installing Android SDK and Google USB Drivers, running RUU and still getting error 170

Tried running it with the phone in debug mode, but get an "Android Device?" in Device Manager that i can't get to work.

Have tried using unrevoked drivers, and RUU still errors with Error 170.

Have tried with 2 different cables, 1 of which works fine with another phone.

Does anyone have any other tips to return my phone to stock?

Thy the PB99IMG.zip method.

Download the latest RUU (the 2.3 one).
Run it as administrator.

Tick the 'I understand the caution indicated above...' box, and click next.

At this point do not go any further.

Navigate to C:\Users\"Your Name"\AppData\Local\Temp (AppData is a hidden folder)

You should see one or two folders like this:
{719CE201-7B12-4A13-9AF6-8F359FE69C7B}

Go into the one with dotnetinstaller.exe in it.
Open up the next folder.

Copy rom.zip into another folder (outside of temp).

At this point just Cancel and quit out of the ROM Update Utility.\

Rename rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sd-card.

Boot in Hboot.

Select Yes.

?????

Profit!!

I got as far as booting in HBOOT and it said (after fully loading) "Error: Main is older".

I'm running "R2 ZM4.5" Redux.

I want to install the stock rom so that I can upgrade the HBOOT, so that I can S-OFF, so that I can somehow eventually repartition. (It's getting pretty confusing in my head about now).

Any advice for me?

I think I've found the problem....my phone has PG58 instead of PG99...after I've renamed it, it works. Thanks a lot for your kind reply. Appreciate it. Now that I've already formatted my custom ROM with this stock ROM, my device does not have recovery any more, is that right? (eg. 4EXT and etc). Can you please tell me how to get those back, just in case I wanna return to using Custom Rom?

Wait wait wait wait.

If you have a Sensation, do not use the zips above!!

Use a Sensation RUU, and, instead of renaming the zip PB99IMG.zip, rename it PG58IMG.zip.

I have the Desire S and using Windows 8 trying to flash the 4.0 RUU from HTCDev but it keeps failing at "Waiting for Bootloader........." and then gives me the error 170/171 USB Connection error. My laptop, when the phone goes to the HTC Logo with black screen, says USB Device not recognized! What do I do? I have scoured the net and xda for answers, all of which don't work :( I don't have a microSD card either

Worked for me!

For HTC ONE M8:
Download the file: RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_Cingular_US_6.20.502.5_combined.exe and run it.
Wait for extraction.
Go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\.
Find the files: "rom_01" and "rom_2".
(I've found them on: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\{1BF9D767-EBE5-4470-A938-3C36AE93DF54}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}).
Copy the bigger file ("rom_2") to SDCARD.
Rename It to: 0P6BDIAG.zip (caution to double zip extension - 0P6BDIAG.zip.zip).
Continue the steps above.
