Root HTC Desire bricked for good?

[fcjan]

Before you said "another bricked post!?" hear me out..

I spent last 5 hours looking for a fix to this problem and I just could found any so any help would be nice..

I had Cyanogenmod 7.2 installed with CM7 r2 hboot, then I saw nice theme in zip. file, good comments, so I made a backup and installed it.
Nope, stuck in HTC boot.. Alright, battery out, let me try recovery and restore.. Nothing, couldn't enter recovery no matter what I do.. Guess it's bricked so I downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe (latest I could find). Boot into fastboot and started RUU, nope again, black HTC boot, update failed.. then I realized I had CM7 r2 hboot and now i can't even start bootloader, it opens but it only says RUU with black triangles with !..

TLDR.. bricked with CM7 r2 hboot, can't open bootloader, can't open recovery and for some sick reason my card reader won't recognize SD card.. so I can't really acces SD card

Anyway to fix this or am I boned? :questionmark:

Hi fcjan and welcome to AF.

I moved this thread to your devices All Things Root section where you'll get more eys from the experienced members in this section.

Hi fcjan,

OK, try this: go to AlphaRev 1.8 and download the Bravo Stock hboot .img. Connect the phone via usb and see whether you can fastboot flash it (fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img). I think there's a good chance this will work even in your current state. If you can do that, run the RUU again. After that you should have a working ROM, stock recovery and still be S-Off. Then you can fastboot flash your recovery again and restore your nandroid or flash a new ROM.

If for any reason the fastboot flash of the hboot won't work, you can try putting the PB99IMG.zip version of that hboot onto a microSD card (with the file renamed to PB99IMG.zip - case sensitive), boot into hboot and see whether it will ask you to apply the update. That will do the same thing as fastboot flashing, but I'd suggest trying fastboot flash first (plus you need to get the card working to do that).

I know it looks bad, but I think this is still recoverable.
