Also wanted to know, if i root my device...Which method will be the best for me and which will be the best ROM for me to get the all basics of normal Desire....
Thanks in advance ........W8ting for replies soon......
Connect your mobile to your pc and run RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 . That is just a stock rom and i don't think you need to root it before you can install it. But before you do make sure that your phone is not branded.
Thanks for quick reply....CAn you please tell me how to make sure that my phone is not branded.
I know it has not been released in INDIA and i have purchased through Grey market.....

At a guess thats an Unbranded Desire
when it loads up do you get the HTC welcome screen or a T-Mobile/Orange/O2/etc screen??
I think it is unbranded, so that is good. But maybe you should wait for someone else to join into this discussion, because i'm not fully sure and don't want you to end up with a phone which is locked.
I M Getting HTC Welcome screen....

i don't wanna root my device....can i flash it with official RUU as said by Flaggie???
Just remember that with rooting you don't have any new languages, you still need to flash a custom rom. You could just first flash a generic rom (which you don't need to root for just connect your phone to your pc and run the .exe) from the xda website I mentioned before and see if you like the regular rom.

give it a read and when you feel comfy with rooting go with it, and if you get stuck just add onto the end of that topic, simples!
Dear Ones...
I tried to update firmware with generic ROM but got the error....
Can you help me with this please ???
Make sure your phone is in Bootloader,,, then into Recovery mode
The 170 error is normal. At this point your desire is in bootloader mode and you just need to reboot your pc and re run the RUU.
If tour trying to downgrade - I don't think you can without root. I tried last night and It fails. I'm on 1.21 but my phone is now network locked and as its only 2 weeks old the imei is not listed yet on any database to undo the network lock.

Hi all hope everyone has had good xmas i recently got my HDH just before xmas on contract from Orange uk ive got it unlocked but would really love to get rid of the huge amount of bloatware the poor thing came with. I would like to return to a stock HTC rom and im currently using RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed and everytime i run it i constantly get this message ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR i have used the orginal 8gb which came with the phone and a 2gb sd to create my goldcard. Ive created the gold card multiple time but still ge the customer id error message ive used the goldcardtool and also created the goldcard the manual way by editing with a hexeditor and still the same result. Please can any point me in the right direction the current rom on the phone is 1.40.61.2 and the Hboot is 0.85.0007.
Regards
Hi,
Hope you had a great xmas also. Your DHD will need to have SuperCID, Your DHD is checking the CID (Customer ID) of the Stock HTC Update and it doesn't match the CID provided by Orange UK.
You can follow This Guide and just follow the steps.
Once your CID is unlocked you can flash anything regardless.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Thankyou for your quick response it worked a treat no more orange bloatware what a relief. I presume i do not need to keep the goldcard in the system and i can format my 8gb sd back to normal card?. Also the ruu i listed above is the latest one i presume from htc if you know by any chance, anyway thankyou again its so nice shame on you orange.
Regards
No, the ROM you listed is not the latest. If you flash the latest HTC ROM you will lose Root, ENG HBOOT, S-OFF.
Thankyou ill leave it at this one for now then have a good new year
Regards
thnks for the Good Guide...was searching for it...
@OP - As you have already installed an RUU u might have lost Root and S-Off already.
you can goto Settings - about phone - system updates and install the latest update.
Hello guys,
I have tried to lookup the solution to my problem both on google and at XDA as well however I wasn't successful to find any resolution so I turn to you Android guru's in hope you can help me with this.
I wanted to unroot my Desire and go back to S-ON from S-OFF. I followed the steps on how to create the GoldCard and I successfully created it. However if I download the original RUU in zip file and try to flash it in HBOOT I am still getting the error CID incorrect.
I bought the phone from a retailer here in the Czech Republic and it was supposed to be unbranded and unlocked. However the phone came only with a UK plug so from this I think this phone was supposed to be sold in the UK so there should be installed a UK stock ROM as well. And also is there some way to find out if the phone was debranded? And also one another weird thing. The phone came with installed clockwork recovery. I don't suppose the clockwork recovery is in the stock RUU by HTC.
Thank you very much for your advices!

I have same Problem~Can somebody help us...=.=
You need to find a ruu that matches your phone. But if you give us this little information we cannot help you.
- What errors did you get when running the ruu? And try to be exact.

I tried one of the WWE roms from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 I think it was the top download, it came up with something like please use the correct RUU and try again, I bought my phone Unlocked and I think it was unbranded if that helps, thanks!
It sounds like you are getting a "wrong CID" error. Which means that your phone wasn't originally unbranded.
Two possibilities.
1) find the correct RUU for your operator, that one should install properly
OR: 2) create a goldcard, many tutorials on the Web (Google for one), then the WWE RUU will successfully install. BUT you'll end up with a generic ROM, not the operator-specific one originally installed on your handset.

Is there any way that I can find out the exact RUU i need?
Sorry to sound noobish but I have no idea what a goldcard is, thanks for your help.
Use this guide to make a gold card, its pretty simple.

Not that I am aware of. I would try the ones from shipped roms that correspond with the network you use.
You should've thought about un rooting at the time you rooted it..
There is a method to find out which ruu you need. Find the threads I've started, and look for the guide on un bricking an slcd desire..the faq had the info you need
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I'm trying to unroot to stock rom and stuff, and I have the Telus specific RUU file.
The quick gold card making, hex-edit free software is not a viable option because the website listed on the software is now gone;;
Also, which guide should I stick to? There are so many on the forums with different methods.
you can find which RUU is yours by trying to match the build number* (if you're still on the stock HTC Froyo ROM) to other RUU's, go to about phone, software and look for it there.
*I think it's the build number

For error 170: Make sure you installed hboot drivers and htc sync drivers (correctly).
For error 120: It seems you got the wrong image. Please check you downloaded the right version. Reset your device ("clear storage") and then run ruu again.

find your Froyo RUU and run it.
by the way, After running the Gingerbread RUU ,your Hboot will be upgraded to 1.02 ，which is not rootable at the moment.
what exactly are you trying to do?? in order to run a WWE RUU you need a goldcard (if you're branded).
I still don't get why you rooted and S-OFF'd just to run a RUU
As stated above, the CID error is a classic symptom of attempting to update without a goldcard (from a carrier branded phone).
You'll need to create a goldcard and patch your MMC, then run the desired RUU again.
