hi,i bought an unbranded,unlocked and unrooted desire but later rooted it so as to install a custom rom.I messed up the flashing process and would like to go back to the original 2.1 build that came with the phone?I do I go about it please?Still have the 2.1 but the system seems to be messed up.all apps now download onto the phone's memory not SDcard.I messed btw the " partition and wipe / factory reset" steps which resulted in the wiping of the stored system data and apps.
Hi, just download and run RUU on your pc, follow the guide and you'll be fine You get the links here in Development section of Desire.
Also note that you'll lose all your data in your phone.

hi all,
Sorry I have to return my handset as its faulty I think, it crackles from the speaker all the time on the handset only, presume this is not a normal fault, i havent found it anyway .so i need a replacement.
I installed nandroid and rooted the phone when I got it, but have forgotten it all lol, I did take a backup of the original os, and i kept it on the standard sd card (2gb) .
I then took that out and did the update with a new card, kept the old one separate. So I am thinking to return to the orange rom, I would put the old card back in (sd) and then just use nandroid to reflash the rom, but then how do i remove the nandroid rooting??
also i have used backup for root users to backup everything, and will re root the new phone hopefully this will restore everything or more things, I am using modaco 2.2
thanks
another thought would chooosing the option
wipe data/factory reset restore the phone to how it came? or restore to fresh install 2.2?
also would backing up the current install using the option nandroid 2.2backup also backup all the data/apps and stuff?
thx

there is a way to unroot your phone, but because you are stuck with the modified recovery img you installed you wont have a standard orange hero
my suggestion is to flash a rom with
stock recovery
stock radio
stock rom
I would suggest try using the updates HTC.com has provided for us, that should return you back to stock firmware!
"Make sure you flash correct update, I am not responsible for any bricks or damages to your phone!"
how do you mean since i am stuck with modded rom? I said I backed up my orange rom before i used the update feature of the nandroid root, so my question is about 1 restoring it, and then 2 removing the root feature?
thanks for ur advice
ok i have managed to restore to factory orange rom so never mind that, how do i remove the ability to boot to the nandroid backup/loader feature?
to "unroot" and get back to Orange stock you will need to do a full flash, use the HTC Orange Update as its Orange verified, a normall restore wont remove the Custom recovery image you have installed
ok how do i do that? thx
dont worry, have done it, but thanks
glad to hear it
job done
all sorted

Hi,
I have a strange problem here:
My Desire keeps bootlooping with every ROM I flash, even if I flash the ROM thats currently running stable on my device for weeks now.
Its a T-MOB (debranded) wit HBOOT 0.80.0000 and AMOLED display.
I'm not using A2SD ROMs.
I can only recover the phone if I use my last nandroid backup.
I tried factory-reset from phone - bootloop. Wiping from recovery - bootloop.
Tried flashing some ROMs (including exactly the one I currently run) - bootloop.
The loop starts on the 2nd bootscreen (the animated one).
Any ideas would be helpful. I thought about applying a RUU - but if that causes a bootloop afterwards... there would be no way to recover from that I fear.
as stated in many posts, this is a sdcard problem.
formatt your card to fat32 and flash the rom. don't forget to backup important data.
Regards
Marios
Thanks for your reply mariosraptor - I did read several posts explaining that bootlooping is a sdcard issue - I reformatted the card but still get bootloops.
So I tried some different stuff - and successfully flashed several 2.1 images without getting bootloops.
Flashing any 2.2 ROM afterwards got me bootloops again, so I'm still not sure if my loops are caused by the corrupt sd.
Now I took my goldcard and flashed the stock 1.21.405.2 image (lost root during the process but thats no issue).
Do you think its safe to apply the 2.09.405.8 OTA my phone is offering now?
If its really the other sd that was causing the issues it should be safe...
Will I still be able to flash back to an old version with the goldcard (via PB99IMG.zip)?
I know that the OTA comes with a new HBOOT but I still can root it with Unrevoked afterwards. But I'm not sure if I can recover the phone if its looping after the OTA
Solved: replaced sdcard, rooted with Unrevoked, flashed 2.2 ROM - no more bootloops
Old sdcard -> trash (have been using it for almost 2 years, still from my HTC Magic)
happy you solved your prob.
Hello everyone,
first of all, im kind of new to rooting phones and stuff, what surely brought me to that problem i have.
I have an old HTC desire where i wanted to install a custom rom.
So i searched for a tutorial, i rooted the phone using unrevoked 3.21, worked fine. Then i wanted to install the custom rom, installed a backup tool first (something like "ClockwordMod Recovery") and made a backup on the sd card.
Then i wanted to install the custom ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403113
Worked mostly fine, but when i wanted to start my phone i got stuck in the startup screen forever.
I searched for this issue and found some tips about clearing caches and clearing the sdcard, what i did - so here is the problem. The sdcard wipe propably killed my backup file and now i am pretty screwed, i still get stuck in the loading screen of the ROM, so i dont have access of the phone, and backup tool has no file to recover from.
So what to do now? I want to reset the phone to the rooted status and try to install the ROM again, but as i said i cant access to anything. Any suggestions?
Thanks
EDIT:
Allright, i have no idea why, but suddenly the phone starts up with the new OS. So this thread can be closed / deleted. Sorry for that
Checked bortak's troubleshooting guide??

Sounds like you're sorted, can happen sometimes if it was your first CWM (nandroid) backup
I have recently acquired a Telus/Koodo GSM HTC One V and successfully installed Shpongle. I noticed there were problems when connecting the phone to my computer, it appears as two removable devices and a CD drive. I never did try connecting the phone to a computer in its stock condition, I assumed transferring files to the phone would not be an issue. Anyway, I decided to restore the backup I created of the stock ROM installation to see if there is a greater hardware issue with the phone. The result of the backup is a phone that hangs on the splash screen.
What I have done to the phone up to this point.
Unlock the bootloader
Root
Flash Recovery - TWRP v2.3.3.0
Backup Stock ROM with TWRP
Install custom ROM (shpongle_primou-20130521) and Kernel (boot-HELLBOY-20130514 )
Install GAPPS
Noticed problem with when trying to copy files to the phone.
Restore backup of stock ROM - failed
I can still get to the bootloader and the recovery.
If the connectivity issues can be resolved with a simple fix then I do not mind going back to the custom ROM. If there is no fix or it is too late to implement, I would very much like to get the phone back to the stock condition and test the connectivity issues. What are the appropriate next steps to remedy this situation?
You need a kernel change. Titanium kiss might work. There is also a stock kernel linked in one of these threads somewhere. Not sure, but I may have downloaded it
Thanks mrcorey for the insight on the kernel incompatibility.
I downloaded the RUU and found instructions to extract and flash the ROM and kernel to the phone. After upgrading it by running the RUU completely, I had a working phone again. Everything is back to stock as far as I can tell and USB connectivity is as it should be. Once connected to a PC and selecting the disk drive option on the stock HTC ROM both the internal memory and the microSD card are available in windows explorer. Why is the internal memory and card not accessible in windows when I had Sphongle installed on the phone? Is there a option that was not set right to get things to work properly?
HI,
I am sorry as this is commented on 100's of times & I have read & read but I just keep going round in circles.
A while ago I rooted my HTC One X (Can't remember exact method as some worked & some did not)
Did not change ROM so should be/is stock.

... 16 Nov2012
I have 4.1.1 Vodafone VODAP001 uk
I would like to upgrade to 4.2.2
Preferably with root but I think now just get back to full stock & allow OTA & root again at a later date.
Ideally user Super SU etc to temp root & OTA.
CWM v5.8.4.0
OTA update fails Unknown Volume For Path ... - I expected this but have since tried with SuperSU & super user with temp unroot but still no luck.
Always full factory/dalvic wipe etc.
I even tried CM10.1 but seemed to install but got stuck once rebooted, Can't remember error but on intitial setup (Language choice behind error window) just allows Click OK constantly. I am surprised this has not worked as seems to have installed & boots OK. I would have thought if down to boot.img or other base issues would not have got this far. Auto installed from CWM & from zip on SD.
Few thing I perhaps don't understand
I am not sure I have stock copies of boot.img or the recovery as when installing ROOT to begin with these things have changed before any chance of a nandroid backup.
I assume all my problems are due to boot.img &/or recovery OR just relocking the bootloader or combination of all.
I am reluctant to use FASTBOOT & re-lock and maybe find I still can't upgrade and then find myself with a non-rooted phone which still won't OTA and perhaps harder to install a custom ROM (If all else failed)
The procedures to do some of these things are huge and so many comments afterwards of people having problems once they have done them.
With root but stock ROM what is the easiest way I might get to 4.2.2
Can I just get any'ish boot.img & recovery & try, do I need to lock the bootloader,
Could any of the temp root methods work.
Is there a risk that I would not be able to get back to my nandroid backups to recover if it goes wrong
(I know there is always a risk of bricking but is it quite likely here)
MaximusHD seems complicated also and with some issues, Android Revolution HD seems widely accepted but then not for use on any VODAP001 or any other tied phones, which must be a majority?
I have rooted & ROM's HTC desires & Desire HD and messed around a lot with these over teh years & never had any problems or lack of understanding (but that was a while back)
Thanks I/A
why not just flashing custom sense 5 rom like ViperX, Magiorom maximus etc?? it's much easier to go back to stock or so
Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply
"it's much easier to go back to stock or so" did you mean it is much easier to go back to stock from a custom ROM or its much easier to install a custom ROM than go back to stock?
The problem/worry I have is Android RevolutionHD & MaximusHD (The 2 I did look at) both say NOT suitable for CID's other than HTC-
I have VODAP001 - Although looking now to list those not supported I can't find the page where is clearly said if they are not HTC-X don't bother trying to upgrade -This is weird & driving me nuts.
Not tried or looked a viperX or others.
I did try CM10.2 - I flash the boot.img that comes with CM for the One X and tried to install & tried to restart and it just freezes a few seconds into the boot. Recvoering my nandrdoi backup did not help, this time I thought I was really screwed.
Fortunately I have copied the nandroid backups to my HD and I managed to flash the old boot back (bloody lucky I copied to Hard disk as being a one X (No SD card) I am not sure I would be able to access the SD without it booting)
Anyway I think with a CID with Vodafone I do not think any of these ROM will work with there supplied boot.img unless I am missing something.
Is the boot.img linked to the Vodafone VODAP001 CID.
Rooting just does not seem worth the hastle anymore, use to love it but just seems too many variations on devices on boot.img, recovery & hboot and after all that so many people with issues, problems & failures.
I just want 4.2.2 now & think it ain't going to happen when those on stock have enjoyed simple OTA upgrades.
I meant that it's easier to install custom sense 5 Rom and stay with it because it has some mods and you don't have the f%cking bloatware inside...just flash in recovery a custom sense 5 Rom, and YES, it will work ...then flash from Rom.zip the boot.img in fastboot and you are fine...with stock you will get much more issues as with custom roms ...for example WiFi is then fixed in custom roms unlike in stock Rom

HI, Thanks again for fast reply,
Tried Android RevolutionHD
Downloaded recovery & boot .img & flashed.
Could not get as far as installing from ZIP, it seems to have wiped the SD Card (internal) so no access to the zip file
Now no access to my nandroid backup, says no files in any of the folders (only a few folders visible now)
reflashed but old boot & recovery but as internal memory seems screwed I am screwed.
The phone sort of starts but cleared of any of my apps or programs & I managed to copy from my hard disk, much to my surprise I could copy the nandroid backup to the sd card
BUT is is still not visible, rather stuck now, trying everything, why the majority of the contents of my internal memory should go is beyond me.
Had enough of this now.
You wiped all or? because if you just make factory reset in custom recovery like cwm or twrp it won't erase all things on phone...but I don't get now what you mean and want...if your Ron is booting all is fine or not ?

Are you have working rom or not? This is the main question?
I now have a working HOX with new 4.2.2 ROM, thanks to all concerned.
After dozens of variations of flashing boot & recovery & installing ROM's & recovering my backups I have a working copy of Android Revolution HD.
I really thought I was on the verge of bricking, would not get passed hboot/fastboot & thought I had lost my backups, especially as my internal memory got wiped, have no idea how that happened and I was very lucky that I have just copied the nandroid backup to my PC else I would have been really screwed, trying to find the correct ROM & boot.img to get me up & running would have been tricky.
I normally get these things sorted in the end but this was not easy.
Thanks again.
