[Q] Restoring/Unrooting back to 2.1 Stock. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I'm selling my Desire so I need to restore it back to stock 2.1.
I followed this guide and when I clicked "upgrade" it came back with error "[155]: Unknown Error"
My phone is unbranded, bought sim free. It is running a custom 2.2 rom at the moment. Bootloader is 0.75.
Could someone advise on how I would go about doing this?
Thanks.

this guide help me to restore my phone

Did you read what I wrote?
I said I followed that and after running the HTC RUU and following the steps I eventually get an error and it doesn't go any further.

Which RUU are you trying to flash with?

The one that was linked to in the guide. "Unroot-RUU-Disire-1.15.405.4"

Ok, I wouldn't bother with that. Try this RUU instead:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
Since your phone is unbranded you won't need a goldcard.

Hi,
I tired that and I'm still getting the same error.

Thanks.

Are you on Windows 7 64bit? That causes problems with running RUUs for a lot of people.
That RUU itself should otherwise work fine.

Yes, I'm running Windows 7 x64. =/
Is there anyway of getting around this issue? Withouth installing another OS of course.
Thanks.

Yeah. If you have an AMOLED screen you can flash another way.
Download this file:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip
Rename it to PB99IMG.zip (ensure the extension is not .zip.zip) and put it at the top level of your sdcard. Start the phone up in hboot mode (vol down + power), wait for it to find the file and then say yes to the flash prompt.
Don't do this on an SLCD phone or it'll break the display.

i have unrooted many times using w7 x64. i just follow the guide with wwe

Thanks I'll give that a shot!
How can I tell which screen I have? I got my Desire back in April if that's any help.
Thanks again.

Anything before July is always an AMOLED screen, so you're ok.
As long as you didn't upgrade to stock froyo that file should flash the phone fine as it doesn't require any communication with a computer.

Much love. <3
Worked a treat.
Now running 2.1-update1. I'll leave that as it is so the buyer can choose to upgrade to OTA 2.2 or root it.
Thanks again <3

[Q] Black Screen of death

i found the solution here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498"
but its for the one who downgraded their phone. in my case, i got the black screen after installing a RUU ROM. How should i fix my Desire?
if i should use that instruction, what should i do before doing it? Downgrade without display?.. kinda messed up.
Downgrade using the 0.92 to 0.80 method. Then use this to fix the screen: http://bit.ly/dyVmpm
which method. im kinda confused because in your post you said the method wouldnt work. Does that means i have to downgrade my phone without display? is that possible?
i mean which method of downgrading?
Perform steps 1-6: http://www.tolxdorff.net/projects/android/downgrade.php?step=2
Then perform steps from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
All is done without the LCD working. You should wait about 30 mins for both files to flash.
thanks for replying. Does that mean i need to downgrade it without display?
if that so. How should i know if im choosing "yes" or "No".. on step 3.4
You only do step 1.1-6.
wait wait. 1.1 to 6/1.1 until 1.6 /1.1 until 6.... please. Thanks for helping me, but im kinda confuse.
Do the steps in the red rectangle

You just need to follow step 1, parts 1 to 6. You will not be able to see anything while doing it.
Once you have done this, your phone will have stock unbranded 2.1 with hboot 0.80. You must remove the PB99IMG.zip file before trying to upgrade using update.zip, as otherwise the phone will just try to run the downgrade again.
now its clear. i got two desire here. one is my sisters. at the step 4 is simlock right? if it is. How many minutes should i wait?
After part 4 of step 1 you will have to wait a while for the downgrade to complete. Give it 30 minutes to be safe. Remember that you still won't have a display at this point, but you will now be able to fix the problem with the FroYo update.
was very evry confused. i hope someone create a video about this one using infected phone.

[Q] HTC Desire 2.2 (froyo) stock root?

Hi!
I am total new to android, I got my HTC Desire for 2weeks now, I search the internet and on this forums and it seems to be nice to root my desire, now im a bit scared to do it, what can go wrong? Can I lost data? do I need to backup first? after I "rooted" my desire i still have the stock android 2.2 on it? (and with all my settings, messages and contacts)? my desire is an unbranded device. I heard that unrevoked 3.2 can root my device? what are the requirements for this? if I go to system information on my desire it shows that i have kernel version: 2.6.32.15-g6a358a9. So can I root my device? Do I still have warranty if I root? I got my desire for two weeks now so I don't want to brick my phone. I got a PC with windows 7 x64 and a laptop with windows 7 x32 and Ubuntu dualboot.
Can someone help me what I need to do?
(sorry for my bad English I am from Belgium)
Thanks in advance!
What software version are you on (same screen as the kernel version)? You want to make sure you can get an RUU file incase you ever need to go back to stock.
Rooting in itself won't wipe data. You will if you change ROM, though. Why do you want to root?

I took a picture so you can see all that stuff.. what you mean with i can get a RUU file? I want to root because then I can use apps2sd because i almost get always an notification that the phones memory is almost full :s so i need to remove other apps to install an other sometimes. And maybe some theme stuff but im not sure, because you need a custom rom for that right? or you think its not worth to root my desire? are there performance improvements? with stock or rooted ?
Thanks for the fast reply!

Trying to rescue my friends Desire....

Hello,
since Saturday I'm trying to unbrick?! my friend's phone.
It doens't boot up into the rom and neither in the clockworkmod...
Booting into the bootloader is fine.
When starting the phone sometimes vibrites 7 times and then stuck at the htc logo. It's really rare to see a full boot.
I can't push a new cwm because it is S-on
Trying to get S-off seems impossible because I never get 2 complete restarts in a row.
Here some technical info:
Clockworkmod 2.5
Cyanogemod
Rooted
S-on
HBOOT 0.92.0001
Radio 5.09.00.20
Should I install a RUU to stabilisize the phone?
Please help me
yes try an RUU - make sure you have the right one though
How do I know it's the right one? It is unbranded, so which should I choose?

Edit 3: Stoppt by 35% Funk..... Restartet phone... now I get a HTC logo with Warnsigns in every corner... Can't boot into the bootloader
Edit 4: found the RIGHt RUU and endet up with the error 152...
Here is a screenshot after the error

I got a complete RUU flash now but nothing changed. So I flashed it once more... it got stucked... I pulled out the battery and now the phone seems dead...
No charging light, no vibrations, nothing.
RIP?
Quite probably. I'd get HTC involved at this point.
I will.
But the Email Support doesn't work and the chat is offline.
So I call them tomorrow with my phone.
Thank you all, now I know much more about troubleshooting than before XD
Edit: After one hour the E-Mail has been sent. *Hope*

if you have your original ruu,downgrading bootloader will be so easy.about flashing with ruu just create goldcard again,and set bootloader only on locked or relocked when you are flashing ruu's..unlocked bootloader may bricked your phone.

Restoring Stock rom

Hello guys, this is what i have on my htc m9

Could I restore Stock rom on my htc m9 and how to do that?
And how I now which RUU to chose?
https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...134000&usg=AFQjCNGdzDwYjWYwYr-RSW3t2U9j47aOJw
Download this file. Copy it to your ext sdcard and rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip
Connect your phone to fastboot and type fastboot oem lock
Boot into download mode. Phone will prompt you to install. Press volup and wait.
Before u start backup ecerything
If you're already linking one of my files you could've linked my instructions, too, since what you wrote isn't completely correct. Re-locking the bootloader is unnecessary if you use the SD card method. In the worst case (e.g. if the RUU fails and OEM unlock isn't activated in the developer options) you could end up with a non-booting phone that can't be re-unlocked. The M9 has security checks that prevents it from booting if it isn't completely stock and the bootloader gets (re-)locked. And although I tested that RUU there can always be reasons why it fails to flash.
Could you be more specific please, I am new with htc and I dont know anything about it, What is fastboot? And if you have some time to tell me step buy step how to do that i would be greatiful. Sorry for bad english
Im sorry Flippy498 i just want to help him. You are a genious and i respect you. You are a life saver.

My bad. I didn't notice that my signature isn't visible in this thread.
Edit: I don't know why the link gets broken as soon as I save this post. You'll need to copy'n'paste the link.
THX a lot, now I'm gonna to try to restore stock rome!
@Flippy498 I have just one question, I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly but I still have Software Status marked as Modified. Would I be able to receive software updates ?
Yes, you will. And you'll be able to install them, as well. (Receiving updates is not the problem, it's being able to install them if the system has been modified. However, a RUU reverts every modification you made.)
It's just strange that the flag still says that your system is modified. Normally the SD card method should reset it to original. But that shouldn't be a problem. OTAs don't check that flag. They compare whether the checksum of the system is the same as the reference value. Since a RUU overwrites the current system with the stock one you won't face any problems here.
Thanks a lot dude for your great work and quick reply !
