flash a original rom..i think it delete the unrevoked recovery
with kind regards..Alex
i have a similar predicament.
what steps are involved to flash an original rom?
does this mean putting the original PB31IMG.zip on the sd card and restarting? i've looked around quite a bit but can't find explicit steps/directions invovled.
No get hold of an RUU from your carrier or HTC and run that, it replaces your rom, radio, and recovery.
find and locate the desired rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
run the exe on computer and follow the steps .
job done
Thanks Ajthescot
From that list, which one is for the HTC/VZN Incredible?
I assume the first one under the CDMA section is ok? (RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_1.12.605.1_R_release_sign ed_with_driver.exe)
Also, I just found this before I saw your reply:
mydroidworld.com/forums/incredible-how-tos/4370-how-downgrade-back-1-00-radio-77-hboot-ota-s-off-only.html
Does that work too?
Correction - the software info screen on the phone says software number 1.22.605.2 so presumably I need to find an ruu exe for that one instead?
If your screen is SLCD you can't rebrand, it will break the screen.
thanks - not sure what that means to be honest. i guess the lesson is that i should not play with settings if i don't understand them. all i am trying to do is remove unrevoked3, which is the only thing i did to the phone.
can't seem to find straightforward directions (without abbreviations or special terms).
Hi I have 1 question,my speaker(loud speaker) on desire is dead!so I must go to official service,but there is the problem-previously I unroot my phone with unrevoked 3 and get custom gefrost rom!can you help me to get my phone in factory stock settings?my phone is from T-Mobile Montenegro,I didn't do backup and I dont know which of this rom is my official!?
HBOOT is 0.75 ,Bravo unknown ship s-on,and I put last radio 5.09.00.08

those files i linked were for desire not incredible
For what it's worth, I recently sold my desire and needed to do the same. I tried putting an original rom on from an exe and it failed. In the end I used the pb99img from the hboot downgrade thread, put it on the root of the memory card and did it that way which worked

Hello there xda-devs!!
I own an htc desire A8181 (amoled i think) and i fell into the temptation to root it. The problem is that i updated OTA into 2.2 froyo and my hboot now is 0.93.00001 on which the unrevoked method wont work (at leat for me it did not, as it showed : "validation error: backup cid is missing" ). I have installed the modified drivers and my desire is unbranded. I was hoping to find a method to root without losing any data or settings and since everyone showed as an alternative hboot downgrade and custom rom, so i thought " what if i downgraded hboot but i did not flash a new rom ", but the question is "is it possible?"
As you may have figured out, i dont know much about rooting/flashing etc, although i have some experience from flashing kaiser and some others, but i am willing to learn. If anyone could give me a hint/link/suggestion or solution to my problem it would be gratefully appreciated
PS thank you in advance and sorry for my english

Thanks for the quick response! Actually these posts were the first that i read when i first thought of rooting and i believe that i have correctly followed the steps of the how to for the unrevoked (version 3.22 straight from the unrevoked site) and i tried twice on different computers(both running win xp home x86). As for the alternatives on benko's tut, none of them supports OTA 2.2 froyo...
After thought and some reading, I decided that I will downgrade to 2.1, root using unrevoked and then flash to prerooted froyo. Actually, since the point is not to lose settings or data, does anyone know a safe way to back up everything and restore them to the new rom?
I have the same model as you mate and the latest unrevoked worked for me, I downloaded the one straight from their website.

Had you also updated OTA with froyo? If yes then why doesn't it work for me? I am sure that the phone is unbranded. Maybe it's something else and not hboot? My current specs are:
*Hboot:: 0.93.001
*Radio: 5.11.05.27
*Rom: 9.29.405.2 (got the update a week ago)
The only thing that I did not follow in the unrevoked guide, was that I didn't select hboot while loading the drivers, because I could not, no matter how many times I pressed the volume down button.I just waited for it to change to usb plug. Could that be the problem?

Something else I noticed the first time I tried with unrevoked, was that in the revoked window it showed "triumph" for a moment and then it rebooted for the last time and then it showed "validation error..". Strange is that it never showed it again not even on the 2nd or 3rd try...What could that mean?

Thanks for the tip, but this is about BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON while my desire is PVT1 SHIP S-OFF and it says that these are able to root but not flash a Rom, while I can't even root.. and the errors do not match..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If you're S-OFF now then you don't need to root - if anything you might be already!
As you hadn't said anything about the rest of the HBOOT I thought I'd mention it but I'm on 0.93 and can root with no issues
And what does it mean? I am already root and I don't know it? And why does then the unrevoked method not work and where is the superuser app?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If the Superuser app isn't there then you're not rooted, so that clears that up...
Go read the S-OFF thread in Development and post a query on there. It sounds like you may have a facotry unlocked bootloader which is extremely rare but best go and confirm it in the forum
Ok. I'm going now. Thank you Eddy and the others for your great help
*forgot to mention: the s off I wrote was after the failed tries with unrevoked(before I hadn't noticed if it was on or off) also the phone was destined to be a demo in a store*

If possible switch to Ubuntu and root, its much better.

Hi I recently tried using unrevoked 3.22 and it really didnt seem to work as I got a "validation error: backup cid is mising". However after a reboot I found myself in clockworkmod recovery, so that part seemed to work. However straight afterwards I tried to start the phone, I discovered had no access to SD card and any attempt to access phone via USB also gone, it seems Bluetooth is also gone. However I got the SD card back again using FASTBOOT, has anyone got any ideas how I could possibly get USB back?
Hello cletus. I may not know the solution to your problem, but usually posting some further info about your device(HBOOT, radio etc) and the exact steps you made before that problem, might help someone that would like to help
I really hope that you find a solution to your problem

Hey there! Found a solution: usb brick fix guide
hey guys i was looking around and all this information is scattered into multiple threads and such. So i was wondering could anyone give me step by step instruction like get x file and follow y steps(even is said steps are from another post) because I am completely lost looking through 5 threads back and forth.
So far i followed the instructions of this guide(just got root): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
instead of using his RUU and PC10IMG i am using the one from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815253
so if i extract the rom.zip from this file change its name to PC10IMG.zip and place it on the root of my sd card i don't need the gold card and can coninue normally with that guys guide?
Help would be appreciated.
also i will still be able to get back to stock even if i do this correct?
or how would i go about downgrading with AMT someone said that worked for them
Woops i figured it out sorry AMT is really easy i think i was misreading the instructions the first time...
If anyone else is wondering this get AMT 1.81 (or whatever there is) get the RUU from my first post. Extract the rom.zip explained later on in the other guide i linked in my second post.
Place the rom.zip (rename to PC10IMG.zip) in the root of you sd card. Run AMT and use its downgrading feature. Reboot into boot loader, and update.
This is for other newbie like myself who are having trouble downgrading their bell desire z. Obviously your doing it at your own risk and if anything goes wrong im not the person to go to.
How this helps some newbies out there.... i feel stupid for having so much trouble with this oh well better safe then sorry

Sorry, but I don't get it. Which steps did you do exactly?
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
In my humble opinion I would say: Do a complete wipe of everything and then do a clean stock rom install. After that try again. ow btw the update from HTC for your bootloader unlocker is NOT for the HTC Desire! But revolutionary works 100%. Did so on my HTC Desire WITH the new Gingerbread update. Now I am S-Off and rooted and have the Leedroid rom running ( with some tweaks)

Ok please be patient with me
He we go my first step
#1 I rooted my HTC desire with unrevoked for the past 4 months every thing worked fine.
Only thing is s-on
Then not long ago I decided to flash a different rom through rom manager like I've always been doing .
Once I did my problems all started
Busy box says not rooted,titanium same but rom manager I get permissions .
The rest is history ....all I want if possible is to start from scratch if possible ...go back to stock and root.

First of all if I am not mistaken Unrevoked doesn't "fully"root your phone. because your S-on doesn't turn into S-off. Therefore you usualy needed to do a nand root. And that could brick your phone if that fails
Sorry if I seem a little cautious with my words because I am a little newbe to all this
But with the Revolutionary tool it works. Trial and error on my own HTC Desire to prove it
You should be able to look for a Froyo RUU or even the newest Gingerbread update for the Desire and flash your phone with it. And then start from scratch with rooting with Revolutionary. If you allready did the update from froyo to Gingerbread there is no turning back to Froyo for now as far as I know. So you have to flash again with Gingerbread
Look on the threads her at XDA and you will find it or even try google. If you done that with succes you start rooting S-off with the revolutionary tool.
Don't bother trying to unlock the bootloader with the unlocker from HTC!! It is not ment for the Desire...!
hope this helped

Was your phone branded? If not, just download this ruu, run it and follow the instructions on screen:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
If it was, create goldcard, put it in your deisre and then the ruu again:

I'd go right ahead and download the Gingerbread update from HTC, wouldn't bother with the Goldcard because you may spend a lot of time trying to fix something which is unfixable. I seem to remember having a problem like yours, which was only solved by downloading an installing the official HTC RUU, I had also tried to get S-Off with Unrevoked but didnt use the right driver(was using HTC's driver, or maybe another, whatever it was it wasn't the right one to use with unrevoked, although unrevoked seemed to have worked!?).
Revolutionary has improved upon Unrevoked though. Its a lot simpler, the process is quicker and there's no user interaction at all. If you back up as much of the stuff and apps with titanium as you can or just your personal stuff, shouldnt be to much of a hassle.

About which unfixable are you talking about? You get cid error when you want to flash stock ruu although your phone was branded.

And at this point he will need a goldcard (maybe) to avoid cid error. That's why I asked if his phone was branded or not. So please do not talk about an error which is not fixable without defining which error you mean more precisely.

To backup apps with tb, one needs root access. The thread opener does not have it and revolutionary does not give you root access till one's flashing the zip mentioned on the documentary site.
And revolutionary is another matter altogether, because the op wants to go back to stock. He may run revolutionary then.

I would do this: switch off the phone, remove the battery for 10 seconds, plug the battery again, charge full with phone still off with htc ac charger (2.5 hours at least), remove the charger, switch on the phone, ensure u have usb debug active, connect the phone to ur pc, run the ruu (if u are no brand use the 2.29.405.5)

Hey, I am attempting to root a HTC wildfire A3333. I have tried to follow the following post here but I can only get to step 2 (downgrading the HBOOT version) then it goes wrong. I open up the step1.bat (that should be step2.bat) file that was included in the downloaded file, but it opens up the CMD window goes through the process saying that each step has malformed and finishes then closes.
I have tried looking for other ways to root or for a fix, but i cant seem to find anything.
I have stock Android 2.2.1 and HBOOT 1.01.0002 installed. I have tried to use revoked to root but says the firmware is to new.
Can anybody direct me in the direction of clear easy to understand instructions on how to root the wildfire or give me any other form of help. I am new to this.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks, Wooster
When I rooted I followed another guide (not on xda). First I downgraded to android 2.1 using a RUU which also downgraded the hboot to 0.80something. Then I rooted via revolutionary. Hope it helps.

Thanks for getting back. I did think that you may have rooted your phone a while ago. I will look at what you have suggested and see if I can achieve anything.
Probably a silly question but I take it if I just backup my phone using MyBackup app from Play Store (Android Market) and then once I have installed the new RUU I can then just restore all my data back onto my phone using the same app?
Also what happens if I want my wildfire back to how it was when stock. For example if something goes wrong or I decide to be difficult and want it back the way it was Is there a way to restore it back to the stock OS (Froyo 2.2.1) ?
Thanks

YOu will look for downgrade first.
Google for original roms earlier versions. FIles *.*exe. In debugging mode and "charge only" usb connections you will run downloaded file.
AFter this you will run unrevoked method.
