Need to unroot my HTC Desire (unbranded).
But after trying 3 different RUU´s, im still stuck on the HTC Boot logo (guessing its the HBOOT).
Im pretty sure its because my phone enables USB debugging by default, which I tried to disable, but seems that after a reboot it just defaults to it again..
Anyone know how to resolve this problem, or got another solution on how to unroot my phone ?
My phone is currently running the 0.80 bootloader, and im currently running the MCR 3.1 rom.
downgrade hboot to 0.75 and you can flash an "older" rom
i had the same problem with a vodafone branded Desire
EDIT: and dont forget the goldcard

if i root my desire with hboot 0.83, soft number 1.24.161.3 using unrevoked, ill get clockwork mod recovery and be able to flash custom/offical unbranded unrooted roms ?
Yes, this is exactly what I have done. I was having trouble with the windows version of unrevoked3, However the linux version worked perfectly.
awsome, thanks. maybe ill try it tomorrow then. apart from problem with unrevoked did you run into any other problems?
No I've not run into any problems as of yet.
After using unrevoked I flashed this ROM:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775 ( Sorry I can't post links)
I made sure that I flashed the radio ROM first though to ensure that I didn't suffer the SIM lock issue which can affect Orange UK users with this update so if you Orange you might want to make sure you that first as well.
Hi, I`m a complete NOOB when it comes to Android, had my HTC Desire a few days now, it came pre-instaled with Vodafone UK bloatware on it.
As far as I know it the OLED version, on box says model A8181
Currentley i have Software v1.24
Hboot v0.83
ALL on a sim locked to vodafone UK.
I was looking at a guide on a different forum for De-branding the Desire.
I have made a Goldcard already
It seems ok but have a few questions:
Is hboot v0.83 ok to begin with for the process ?, i thought v0.80 was the best one ?
I was looking at the Un-revoked3 guide....would the ROOT with that app be done first ?, OR Is it a NEW process after the de-brading ?
thanks
All you'll need is a goldcard. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741836
thanks.
Done the Goldcard, looks like the Hboot 0.83 (which I have) is ok from what I can tell, one of my main Questions,
Also can I just ROOT after Installing froyo update, is the unrevoked app ok?, will it mean Re-installing a ROM or does it `add-onto` an existing install ??
cheers.

Don't install Froyo as that'll flash Hboot to 0.92. unrEVOke now and flash a ROM from the Dev forum. There is a rooted stock HTC 2.2 there if you're just looking for Froyo + Root.
I'm using LeeDroid 1.8 ROM on my previously VF bloatwared Desire ('unrevoked' to root), very happy.
Ummm ok, I have tried loads of times to do the De-brand, apparentley the VF software v1.24 I have stops De-branding as it just times out the Bootloader...it eventually gives a `usb error 171` every time.
I tried with the phone set as both usb mode or sync mode makes no difference,
I looked into the Unrevoked 3.1 program and apparentley its not working with Hboot v0.83.

try this guide!
Is that 1 ok for OLED Screens like mine though?, also am I OK in ROOTING whlle it still vodafone BRANDED ?
ok....just read the guide linked, IF that works, will I be able to put Offcial HTC ROM + froyo update?, or does it have to be pre-rooted ROM ?
thanks.
You can download stock froyo Rom here and just use that

I purchased my Desire back in June and as soon as i found out about rooting
i used the one click unrevoked 3 method. Due to it being unbranded i didnt need a gold card i simply did so. After which i had problems installing some roms and its become too difficult so ive decided to unroot it and use it as it was meant to be until i gain more knowledge.
My problem is no matter which RUU i use following the unlocker method nothing works. I continue to get the error that none of the RUUs are suitable for my phone.
I have looked through the other posts but couldnt find an answer that worked for me.
my radio is 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
Im running AuraxTSense 7.6.1 Froyo FRF91 by NeoPhyTe
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Is your Hboot 0.93 ?
try this RUU : http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Enter bootloader (vol.dw+power), then plug the phone to USB and run the RUU it should work...
Have u installed HTC Sync again after using unrevoked?
U need the htc drivers installed
Have u tried LeeDroid?
Running stable and fast in my Desire, I rooted nd unrooted the phone twice, but every time i go back to unroot status i get bored, so root again, i think u should try another ROM first before unroot, try mine : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
Download de ROM,
Install thru ROM Manager or directly thru Recovery, but remember to Wipe data before u install make a clean install, if u still experience any issues go back to Stock...
My Hboot is 0.93.0001
Ill try the RUU tomorrow when i have enough time at my disposal
Although ill try leedroid first just in case. Hopefully it works and is good enough
thanks for the help
Just curious, but did it work?

You need to enter FASTBOOT (back + power) to run an RUU outside of Android
Greetings folks,
Just a quick one,
I have my phone Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF,
But if i run the orange RRU,
RUU_Ace_Orange_UK_1.40.61.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_157531_signed
Will that cause me to loose both S-OFF ?
Its just i dont really need custom roms & also the thoughput seems better on the RRU,
At this point i am using Android Revolution with a non stock splash screen.
What happens if i run the RRU ?
Regards
Steven
You may lose it, but if so its easy to root again and get s.off. I started with the same Rom then rooted with visionary and radio/Eng.s off. It doesn't have the problem of 1.72 stock roms
I've just recently updated my HTC desire from Froyo to Gingerbread 2.3.3 using HTC's official RUU and I'm not a fan. The wifi keeps disconnecting and I don't like having to turn the mobile network on and off. I want to go back to the stock Froyo without installing a custom rom and rooting the device.
Thanks in advance for your help
You can't without S-OFF and root.
How about trying to fix problems instead of running away from them?
How about giving some real answers instead of some lame ironic replies?
haych.dot, you can't downgrade from official GB to FroYo without rooting & S-OFF-ing, because the GB bootloader is a higher version than the FroYo one thus it needs to be downgraded first.
You have two options: 1) either send the phone to HTC for firmware downgrade or 2) use revolutionary (www.revolutionary.io) to root & S-OFF then downgrade the bootloader as per alpharev's instructions (http://alpharev.nl) & install the latest FroYo RUU. Search the forums for details on the 2'nd option (which i wouldn't advise if you're a newbie regarding Android hacking or not a tech savvy guy).

Put your phone in the freezer for 10 mins and then try to boot. (Take your battery out when you do this).
