I am trying to return my Desire to stock so that I can hand it down in the family, since i got a new GNex. while trying to run RUU during the radio flash, the phone vibrates multiple times and the RUU process fails.

Now am stuck with HTC logo and 4 "!" marks in the corners.

Running a WWE RUU managed to move it to:

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON

Similar problem

Yaay solved the problem by downloading the android 2.3 upgrade RUU from htcdev site and now back to stock!! YES!
Hey guys, I had a HTC Desire that started working very strange. It was constantly freezing at the HTC logo (booting). After removing the battery for a few minutes, I could turn on the phone again. I tried rooting, it always failed. Then I tried installing 2.3 via HTC Dev official software. Followed all the instructions and had a RADIO_V2 - Fail PU. The RUU enters recovery mode: I unplug, remove battery for 3 seconds, then plug again and it runs the same procedure: RADIO_V2 - Fail PU again. I just tried 4x and nothing. The phone is bricked. If I try to boot holding volume down, it won't go to recovery, it just turns black with ! sign in all corners.

I am just afraid my Desire has some hardware problem, but in any case, now it is bricked. Any suggestions?

Download a recovery img for the phone, plug it in and run 'fastboot boot [recovery.img]' to boot into recovery or 'fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img] to flash and then boot into recovery.
