back to stock

I have a rooted Desire that was originally on Virgin UK, it had the boot screen and some Virgin apps but wasn't locked to any network. The problem is I never backed up my original rom and after being on a rooted phone now for ages I want to return it to a standard 2.2 stock unbranded rom but because im new to all this, I have no idea how its done or where to get the rom from. I asked this question on Modaco and someone gave me a link to what was meant to be a stock UK rom but when I extracted it it was a HTC app which I had no idea what to do with when I ran it it looked for my phone but I was to scared to plug it in incase it bricked my phone, I was expecting a rom that was installed from my SD card. Was I suppose to plug in my phone and allow this HTC app to return my rooted phone to stock? if not what do I do to return it to a unbranded 2.2 and where do I get the rom/app from.
Cheers

You need to find the RUU from Virgin but I'm not sure the new ones have been leaked

[Q] Rooting Questions

Hi there,
I'm completely new to rooting and I want to know if there's a way of reverting back to what I'm currently using before I start to do anything with my Desire which is according to my software info screen:
Android version
2.2
Baseband version
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Build number
2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0
htc-kernel(at symbol)and18-2 #1
Software number
2.12.110.4
And as far as i can work out my T-Mobile Desire is a SLCD with PVT-4 with 2.2 installed. Also i dunno if this helps at all but its now unlock since i got a code from T-Mobile to unlock it.

There are ruu files all around this forum there are the key to a fully unrooted desire

There isn't, however, one for your ROM so it's a risk you take rooting that phone

After rooting, you can do a nandroidbackup, so you can go back to your original rom.

It'd still be rooted so wouldn't be stock

Thanks Eddy for the the straight answer, I suppose I'm gonna give it a little bit more thought first before i do anything and thanks again!

How can I reset my TELUSdesire hd back to stock.

There is pretty much a dead spot on my desire screen so I have to send it away for service so. What is the easiest way to do it?
Thanks in advance.

It depends of course what you have done with your phone, but if you have installed a custom rom, here is a guide to get back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864054
Here is also a little shorter version from jkoljo's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=857537):
"To go back to S-ON:
•Flash stock ROM (RUU)
•Temproot using Visionary
•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
•Enjoy your factory-state phone"
And here is the RUU for Telus DHD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932771 (Notice that I'm not sure if this is the recommended version for your phone but this is the only one I could find with a quick search)

Getting ready for Gingerbread

My HTC desire was originally T-mobile UK Branded. After rooting and messing about with a few custom ROM's I returned it to Stock using:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
Downloaded from xda
It's now clean unrooted, unbranded, stock hBoot HTC Sense 2.2, nice and stable apart from a few problems with text messages.
Question.
Will this phone update to Gingerbread (if it ever does actually appear!!) in it's current state, or will I have to try and find the original T-mobile branded ROM? Which I don't have by the way; anyone got it???

Why did't you just say Rooted and use you best RoM, and wait for the XDA Devs to use official RoM? imo A leaked version will come out before OTA.

since you debranded it i see no reason to not recive OTA
so you should be ok

Does stock Desire have sense 2.1 or 2.2 ?

Also wouldnt bother re-branding it as the unbranded version will be out MONTHS before the network versions - if they ever bother to bring one out that is !!

To get OTA updates from your carrier you will need the official rom, the t-mobile roms are listed with the other RRUs in the Dev forum here (look for the TMO RRUs) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
a direct link to the latest t-moble RRU i beleave is this one here - http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
hope this helps

OTA on debranded handsets (with a gold card) stopped working with the last OTA update - chances are you'll need to use an RUU (assuming it leaks) OR a custom ROM

I found RUU to make the phone more stable than an OTA to be honest.
When I had 2.1 -> 2.2 the bluetooth was all over the place, kept dropping out etc., and a few other minor niggles.
Flashed 2.2 RUU from scratch and it seemed to 'fix' some of the issues I was having.
Friend of mine tried same but had been factory resetting to try and fix things and I suggested running RUU and he said his phone seemed more stable after that too (rather than the factory reset option)
Not sure how much of the above is just a placebo effect - or the reinstall completely did fix some possibly dodgy files?

Maybe the OTA update didn't clear cashe correctly when it installed to make a bug. At the end of the day RRUs contain all OTA updates up to a certen point, the reinstall would wipe cashe and data so it would fix the bug you had.

When you succesfully use REVOLUTIONARY to S-Off your phone, it will install clockworck mod recovery. When you have done that, you can then turn off your phone and enter Recovery mode by holdingg Vol - while pressing power on, then from there you can make a back-up of your phones ROM in its current state.
I was new to this too, it is quite daunting but after you've experienced your new ROM and have an idea of what you are doing you'll be very pleased with the improvements and new features you can get. Im using supernova Xtreme with Data2SD and its running smooth as silk with zero issues what so ever. I'd recommend you have a look at Revolutionary on the website(just google android revolutionary) and see there simple guide on rooting. Its a absolute breeze to use there software, had mine S-Off'ed in about 2 minutes.

thanks for your advice!
if i have any questions left, i will post again..

But restoring a nandroid won't take your warranty back, because your phone will be rooted still.
Take a look in an Austrian Android forum if your RUU is not in XDA.

that's what i was thinking about too...
i have used revolutionary now, so i could make a recovery BUT my desire is still not rooted i have only another recovery software (?)
so now i don't know: does my warranty still exist or not?

Mmmm I don't know the revolurionary method, but I think that if you have a custom recovery, you have to be root.
Evenwhen if you are not root, if you changed something from the original Software, probably you don't have any warranty now.
But it would be very strange that there's no RUU for you. If that is the case, if sometime you need your warranty, you can try to push an Official HTC RUU (the debranded one) and probably you'll have no problems. The technical assistence doesn't always look very deeply if you have done something to the software.

ok, thanks for your statement

Hi, i have just flashed a custom rom onto my HTC desire, but looks like the installation has not gone through fine, the phone tries to boot up but shows the same boot screen over and over with a screeching noice. I have flashed my phone with the following ROM:
LeeDrOiD_HD_V3.3.3_GB-Port-R5-A2SD. I now want to go back to my native ROM and am concerned if my phone is bricked. Can you please guide me through this.
Many thanks,
Srivats.

sure it doesn't work?
i have flashed the same rom as you.. the screeching noise could be the standard leedroid startup sound.. at first boot, it takes some minutes did you try just waiting about 15-20 minutes without doing anything? maybe it would boot correctly...
if not, i hope you've done a nandroid backup before flashing?
you should be able to flash the backup in recovery-mode..
