Root Getting "pb 99" missing img in hboot

Hi, this is my first message

First, thanks a lot to all.I was alien to rooting a week b4.but thanks to u all, I have rooted thru unrevoked, gparted, flashed gv 1.8, took backup, reverted back to sense rom to s-off, did it, restored back to gv.(tried s-off with gv, was unsuccessful), repartitioned thru mtd layout, all success.
With one problem, now when go to hboot while starting phone with volume down button pressed, I get following messages:

HBOOT
SD Checking
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
No Image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No Image or Wrong Image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]
No Image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]
No Image or Wrong Image!

It takes a long timefor each message to appear
After that, it is normal, I can go to recovery, or fastload, or power of.
I think it started while I was trying to s-off with alhharev on gv.it is annoying to wait for so long to get thru.
Is it serious or can be repaired?
Thanks
 
This is normal, at least with every rooted+S-OFF Desire I've ever handled.

You can chuck a PB99IMG.ZIP onto the SD card to flash an HBOOT.
 
Thanks for responding...
Do u mean all desire phones that are rooted and s-off face exactly these messages?

Or I have deleted something on sdcard that it is trying to read? Can't it be solved without unrooting or ruu?
Thanks again

All desires, rooted or not rooted have this. Like Eddy says, its normal.

Its looking for pb99img which is a rom file for installing a new version of the stock rom, hboot and recovery. Putting the correct file as named on the root of teh SD card will return your device to stock
 
I don't know how will I thank enough especially suroot for such prompt answers.
But can I disturb for one last time.

But why wasn't I getting these messages prior to rooting then? Was it finding these files in stock rom state in sdcard then?
I am sure these massages started coming way after rooting
 
If you go back to root and enter HBOOT the same messages will come up, although the come and go within a second normally. I'm S-OFF and they still go away as fast as they appear so don't know why it's taking longer on your phone. Either way, don't worry about them :)
