Root Rooted - lost clockworkmod, cant boot rom

[cacklemygladys]

Hi.

I stupidly forgot that I was rooted and applied an OTA update (OTA_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2-1.15.405.4_release_P4ohim1mtp6zggcyon).

I'm now stuck in a loop where it won't get past the initial HTC bootscreen.
I can get to the bootloader (hboot 0.93), but if I choose recovery I get to the 'stock' recovery screen. trying to update to another rom results in 'signature verification error'.

I've tried loading the zip from this thread:

http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/177907-froyo-2-09-405-8-update-windows-not-required.html

but it fails as my 'main version is older'.

Any ideas on how I can get any working rom going?

Was it branded? If so do you have a gold card?

You need the highest number from here:

Index of /shipped/Bravo/

2.29

Not sure what version it thinks it is though.

Thanks for the reply - managed to extract the rom.zip from the RUU you mentioned, renamed it to PB99IMG.zip and updated via bootloader.

Now to root it and restore my backup........

Funny thing is, the PB99IMG for 2.29.405.2 is on shipped-roms.com too as I uploaded it there!!

I did exactly the same mistake! Rooted the phone and forgot all about it until the OTA arrived. God damn- I have used the last two days with different solutions to bring life back to my dear Desire....GoldCard, RUU-updates...every trick mentioned in different forums. But no luck. Tonite, If no luck, I decided to send my Desire in for some kind of repair, then I saw this thread that got me going for a last attempt. And lucky me: The 'No Idea' Blog: Extracting ROM files from a HTC Android RUU So thx alot for sending me in the right direction My Desire is brought back to life again ;-)
