[Q] Need help - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all i wan't to apologise because there's probably a thread about this somewhere, but ill be honest i searched and googled a lot and only got more confused. I am really lost in the terminology and everything that is availbale on this forum so i'm just going to ask here and hope for a simple answer.
I have an unbranded unlocked HTC Desire, which i rooted to the Nexus One 2.2 froyo. Now i want to go back to stock 2.1 htc sense so i can update it to 2.2. I can't use the stock roms because htc sync doesn't recognize my phone. so im kinda lost and don't know what to do.
Is it possible to do it? and if it is possible, then can some one please explain in a simple step-by-step form how to do it.
Thank you in advance!

Im pretty sure you can just extract the rom.zip from an ruu and flash it from recovery

Hello,
first of all, before doing something wrong
screen AMOLED or SLCD?
HBoot ? to check the Hboot vol.down+power
U can downgrade to 2.1 (HBoot 0.80) using a SAPPIMG there´s a thread in the forum explaining how to do it, but first check your screen type first...
If it´s AMOLED like mine i can post the RUU i used to unroot the phone and get the Froyo2.2

it's AMOLED
hboot version 0.80.0000

Ok so was mine, so i runned this RUU:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
then did the OTA update

i have froyo 2.2 already on it.
will this take me back to the 2.1 htc sense?

just tried it, getting an error that the phone is not connected to the usb. and it obviously is

Why is it precisely that you wish to revert back to HTC 2.1 then to HTC 2.2 again?
You can currently flash HTC 2.2 ROMs directly, which have HTC sync working. They are different to the Google/AOSP FroYo ROMs on many accounts, most paramount with the addition of HTC Sense.

Thank you everyone for your help and use full comments. I ended up using the guide from the desire development forum, its under "[TUT]Complete upgrading guide(root, unroot, flashing ROM & updates)" sorry i cant post links yet. . It is very easy and noobie friendly.
I downgraded to the stock htc desire 2.1 and updated with the official 2.2.
Now i have 2 issues with it:
car mode enables itself every 10 mins or so even if i switch it off.
and some websites reload themselves in 10 or so seconds after loading them.
any ideas?
Thanks

Enter recovery, and do a wipe data, or factory reset, settings>sd and storage...

[Q] Time for stock :)

So im annoyed with my phone today nothing seems to want to work, So I am now wanting to use the Stock 2.2, Could someone point me in the right dirrection, Currently using HBOOT 0.92 and Sense 2.2
Perhaps this would help?
http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/148932-froyo-ruu-update-available.html
What ROM are you using at the moment? If you're on HBOOT 0.92 then chances are you're on stock 2.2 already...
Currently running HTC Sense 2.2 But im looking for Android Stock, So OpenDesire im looking for, Found 2 links to sites for downgrading the boot loader, but there so im at a wall after that I can follow unrevoked instructions for root
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Ahhh right!! OpenDesire is probably your best bet as it's compiled for the Desire as opposed to being ported from the N1...I followed this thread to get back to HBOOT 0.80 and then used unrEVOked to root...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741672
Should the link on that thread not work, download this file and rename it to PB99IMG and then continue
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip
So I downloaded that file
Stuck it on the SD card as the name that was menetioned, Booted with volume down pressed, And now it says Update failed! So im errr confussed as to what I did wrong.
Try this one...
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed_txt.zip
I had the same issue recently but it may have been the wrong file...not tried since as I'm rooted now
That seems to have worked
So now I go about using unrevoked to get root access?
and then I go about changing to the OpenDesire room?
Links to instructions would be nice
EDIT: Trying to use unrevoked 3 and it doesnt seem to want to work
help required -.-

[Q] Strange Unrooting Problems

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

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?

I am currenlty running this rom "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed" and my HBOOT version is 0.93 and i also have the S-LCD screen.

If u are S-OFF then u can downgrade to 2.36 by using the RUU version then root ur device,
edit:- i´ve done it more than 3times after updating from 2.36 to 2.50 "OTA" (believe me u can)
U can get the 2.36 ruu here:-

Trivial Question
I have a trivial question, I am very interested in rooting using this method, however I have recently encountered an issue with my stock rom ever since I did the OTA update to 2.43.611.1 The issue is HTC Sence has stopped unexpectedly window pops up quite often & in talking to telus my provider & HTC them selves, they both say the phone needs to be repaired,
My question since I encountered the problem immediatly upon doing the OTA update should I get it repaired first or just try rooting to see if that fixes it.
Also if possible can I be pointed in the direction of how to return to stock Telus if I end up rooting & the probelm still persists?
My thanks to thoes who have diligently be working & involved in helping others & myself reach root status on higher Build numbers.
Great Work!

The reason you're getting the error after the ota update is the same reason why people get issues after installing custom roms and not wiping their device... the old cache and user data conflicts with the update.
Downgrading and then flashing a custom rom along with flashing an updated radio will remedy the problem. I dont believe you'll want to use the initial radio release, I highly recommend flashing the radio from the 2.52 korean release to your Telus DHD, along with the ril's from that release and replacing the ones in the rom you will flash via cwm recovery. ENG S-OFF is required to flash a new radio or recovery img.
Once you downgrade, you can always return to the stock 2.43.661.1 rom. There is a thread in the Desire HD/Inspire 4G Forum on Driphter.com where I've placed the RUU's of common builds (especially for Telus and AT&T). If returning the device for warranty purposes, you must Radio S-On prior to Installing the stock rom via the RUU. The RUU Itself will set ENG to SHIP, and unroot.
Excellent, Greatly appreciated.
Might try rooting as soon as tonight. Kind of excited to have a functional device again!
I am glad that it worked, i thought OH **** the other day, when i found out that i shouldn't have updated to 2.50, if i was about to root..
Big thanks to you JSL, nice work, and easy tuturial!!
I can see that in /HTC ACE TOOLKIT
is a splash screen changer, and a boot animation changer.. how do i use them?
Cheers guys I will try that downgrade guide. Just a note though. The file fize of the version of HTC Sync for the Desire HD I'm downloading is 66.6MB. I hope that isn't an omen for this to go horrendously wrong

[Q] Moving from a custom ROM to a stock ROM

Hi everyone !
I wanted for a while now to move to the stock ROM on my HTC Desire, and I looked a lot (like 2 weeks maybe more) into the forums but doubts remain so here I am. My question might sound a little bit stupid to you but I want to be sure before doing anything because I cannot afford to have a phone that does not work at the moment.
So, my phone is S-OFF, I am running the Runnymede AIO 5.0.3 ROM actually with this baseband 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27, and I have the 4ext Touch Recovery. I would like to use the RUU utility to move back to the stock RUU WWE 2.29.405.5 Radio 32.49.00.32U 5.11.05.27 so can I just do it normally by executing the RUU or should I perform any operation on the phone before proceding.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Have a great day all !
Just save any data you might need becouse the RUU will trash everything but the SD.
To use the RUU you have to connect in HTC Sync mode.
You can also get the official Gingerbread HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade from htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads .
I used that for a long time without problems.
Runnymede ROMs on Desire hardware aren't a good idea imho, you should have tried something like Cyanogenmod 7.1.
I tried Cyanogenmod for a while and I enjoyed it, but I kind of missed the HTC Layer which may be handy for linking contacts for instance, and I also like the HTC mail client since I use an ActiveSync mail account along with a gMail account.
Anyway thanks a lot for your quick answer.

If I were u, I would backup my current rom first before using the RUU. Before running the RUU, make sure HTC Sync is installed and phone could detect it in your computer. (Use a goldcard if necessary when running the RUU. )

SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
The official "devs only" 2.3 it's not unfinished.
HTC couldn't push it out as a normal update becouse it has vary little room for apps... but aside from that it is as good as the 2.2.
If you're s-off, you may need to fastboot flash the downgrade.img from Alpharev to allow the hboot to be overridden by the ruu
