Hello

My Desire is gets stuck on HTC bootlogo screen when trying to startup.
I had USB debugging disabled so Unrevoked doenst work.

I'm now searching for the right RUU file for my phone. Because I can't boot my phone, I'm not sure about the software version... (I remembered the radio version by heart: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27)

But I found a file on my SD card, it was the first ROM ever installed on my phone. The filename is: "ns160311-2147-2.29.405.2-update-desire-stock-kitchen-unsigned-MD5-27f95c98b078b357770c47340ab9253c"

So might it be possible that my software version was 2.29.405.2 ?

So I tried the according RUU file from shipped-roms.com, but the file is corrupt. Which other RUU files would be suitable for my phone? I have an unbranded phone, so I think I need WWE release?

Also, the latest ROM I had running on my Desire was LeeDroid 2.3d

Grtz

Thanks for the quick reply!

I bought my phone second hand, previous owner put a rooted stock rom on the phone for me (the one I quoted in my first post)

Then I put Leedroid 2.3d on there.

Both ROMs had Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27, so I'll be safe right?

What does the software number mean? Is it not a problem that I'm going from 2.29.405.2 to 2.29.405.5 ?

Edit: I just read the Leedroid 2.3d thread, It seems that Leedroid 2.3d also uses 2.29.405.5, I'm just curious what this means? Is it important to have the same software version when flashing a RUU? Because I thought the purpose of doing the RUU was to install a new software, so it shouldn't matter which version I'm flashing? (sorry for my confusing English :D)

Thanks again.

2.29.405.5 is the latest WWE ROM so you're fine, worst case is it won't install due to CID error but at least you'd know you're on a branded handset

Thanks again,

also the RUU installers prompts me to connect the USB cable and turn on my phone. Obviously my phone can't be turned on (that's the whole problem :D).

Should I put it in HBOOT Bootloader?

or should I boot it in Recovery (I have "Android system recovery <2e>", not ClockWorkMod Recovery)?

or should I just power it on to the HTC Logo where it gets stuck?

I think I have the right drivers already on my PC, I did the install/uninstall of HTC Sense.

Going by that radio, this is what you want:

Assuming you've always had that radio since rooting
Thanks EddyOS, it worked, I'm back on stock ROM now, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction

(btw, to answer my last question myself: I just turned on the phone and let it boot to where it got stuck, and than I ran the RUU and the phone got recognized)

Thanks again, Grtz!
