Help!!! Unroot - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Please help me. I want to unroot my Desire. I rooted it with unlockr method. And I use now AuraxTsense. My Desire got 0.93 bootloader. Please help, how to unroot it? I try with exe files that are in Android development, but I always get 140 error, that it's bad ROM.

What ROM are you trying to go back to? What ROM did your Desire come with originally?

Well It was unbranded, I bought it in Europe, so Europe ROM or World Version, but I try both of them and it fails...

[Q] custom rom to official 2.2 rom (how to)

Hi all,
I have a HTC Desire A8181, SLCD, hboot 0.83 with AuraxtSense 7.4, its umbranded and not simlocked. I would like to install STOCK 2.2 (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe)
Is it possible to simple execute .exe or i have to do it using other way? which way?
Thank you,
Marcello
Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.
Yes it is possible to just execute it, and it will guide you through the process.
There is other ways if you can't get it to work but start with the ruu
i second that. if you want to go back to stock unrooted rom, flashing a RUU is an easy way of doing that. but if you want other ways. you can try this one.

[Q] Help, no success in unrooting my unrevoked3 froyo desire

Hi all,
I have bought unbraded unlocked HTC Desire and it came with Android 2.1.
I then upgraded to Android 2.2 using the original firmware with OTA method, then, rooted the phone using unrevoked3 1 click software, everything works fine and the phone is rooted with bootloader version 0.93.
Problem is that I need to send back my phone and have to unroot my phone back to original factory firmware, I tried the RUU method and I am getting Error [140] during the flashing process, I thought that my phone was gone *gulp*, rebooted it and it loaded as if nothing happend.
Please help as I really really need to get it back to the UNROOTED factory firmware state.
Thanks!

Why would he do that if the phone is unbranded?
@pixelim
Have you tried the unroot/downgrade method from this thread?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
It claims to do the trick for all HBOOT versions and any OS.

Because some phones even though are unbranded need a gold card. Mine is unbranded but for some reason needs a goldcard
Okay, got it to work, after spending almost 3 hours looking for an answer, I have tried using the latest RUU file named:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
and that did the trick! I now have an unrooted phone with Froyo version already installed!
Might be useful to some people..

After many hours - this was the only RUU that forked for mee to (for HBOOT 0.93) , I just have to mention - my phone is T-Mobile branded (had to use a GoldCard)

[Q] Not able to unroot htc desire :-(

I have HTC Desire bought from India with baseband version=32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 & software number=2.13.720.1.
I rooted my phone with unrewoked3 but now i want to get back to my original rom which i got at the time of purchase as i am not able to get updates. I have tried to flash rom : RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed but not able to get it done with error 131. Please some one help me out of this i have checked everywhere for this but not able to get it done.. Please help me out of this..
I have successfully flashed the following ROM by using gold card:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed
But i think that this is not the rom which was earlier on my desire at the time of shipping,because i was getting update for:RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India.
Can someone help me getting this clear.. is this ROM different from what i was having at the time of purchase???
You did not need to install that RUU Rom that u installed. Unrevoked ONLY provides root, it does not replace your ROM. You actually lost the original ROM now by installing this new ROM.
Thanx for your valuable reply... But now what i can do??? I want to get back to my original ROM how can i get there??
I'm afraid not much.
Over at shipped roms there is only an old RUU 2.1 (eclair).
It's the right one for you and if you managed to find the updates you'll be okay, you can also try searching for OTAs but I don't know if you have big chance for an OTA when you are right now in such an old version.
Maybe you can mail htc to ask them if they will provide you with a link for the froyo OTA for your software version, tell them you missed it...
clockworkmod
hehe..
I have clockworkmod which is there in the SD card(after rooting the device by unrewokrd one get this), can this help me in getting my ROM back??
You can restore from clockwork but you'll then be still roooted, although with your original 2.2 ROM.
You did the backup rooted - the restore therefore will be with root.
Can i try to downgrade bootloader
Hmmm... Thanks man :-(
I have tried to flash RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127705_signed
by using gold card but not able to do that.. I think i have to downgrade radio or boot-loader first then i will be able to do the same... Is it true???
Also please try to give the procedure to downgrade boot-loader...
I don't have experience with downgrading but you can follow the guide by teppic in development - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
And you do not need a goldcard when you are flashing an Indian x.xx.720.x ROM because your original ROM was this type. You need it only when you are flashing update or a ROM that is not for your device.
OK... I am trying on the same thread but thanx for this..
I will try to downgrade, lets hope for the best

Am i about to kill my HD?

I have a Orange branded DHD, unlocked via IMEI, running 2.3.3, i want to install the HTC rom as i have been told it comes with far less bloatware.
I do want a genuine rom though, rather than a cooked version, so have opted for the HTC rom. I found and downloaded the following file which claims to be what i need.
Am i correct?
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed
Also, as it is a genuine rom, do i still need to do all that "rooting" business?
Or can i go ahead and install/flash?
Thanks for any possible help or tips.

If your phone is allready rooted then, after installing the new Official ROM it will be unrooted again, You can try downgrading to the official 1.3x version and then update from HTC direclty. I dont know if you gonna have any problems
because your phone is branded, but i dont rly think so. Im just a user using roms etc, have no idea for further instructions!
Considering you paid a hefty sum for your Desire HD, i strongly recommend you first find your branded rom somewhere in the dev forum first. Just in case you have to reflash teh stock rom for warranty issues. For the rest, I also recommend downgrading to 1.3x first and then flashing whatever you want (cooked roms need s-offs and root). I have a guide in my sig on how to root, s-off and flash a rom, however, stock roms are executables from what i know so you might not need to follow my guide just plug in your dhd with drivers installed and let the exe do its work. Regarding downgrading, you will find a link in my thread to the "Downgrading to 1.3x thread". Have fun
Edit:
I know of 3 ways to brick your dhd:
1. Partitioning your sd card with clockwork mod recovery 3.0.2.5
2. Editing some esf files or something and mistyping something
3. SMashing your phone into a brick wall repeatedly
So, don't worry so much, it's not a galaxy S
Yes, the file i have is an executable file. I think it is the most recent genuine HTC rom available for this device.
So, that being said, i should not need to root or downgrade etc? Just double click & go?
Surly you should not have to root your device when wanting to install a different, but still genuine rom?
I have found it very difficult to locate stock roms for this device.
Going to have another search now, but if anyone knows a shortcut, i'd be more than gratefull

You will need to downgrade first as your device is branded. Once downgraded just run the RUU and Bobs your mothers brother.
If you have an orange dhd you will need the orange upgrade. I'm pretty sure if you try to use a different one it won't let you do it. I'm not 100‰on this.
I used to get android updates for T-Mobile brand off the T-Mobile website.

Which is why you need to downgrade.
@ ghostofcain
And to downgrade is it just a simple rom flash? Or do i need to root or s-off etc first?
I know this would be the case with cooked roms, but i'm only talking about Genuine releases here.
I'm currently running an Orange branded 2.3.3 ROM, so if i simply flash an older rom to the device, then i am all set to flash the newest HTC generic rom to the Desire, right?
That older rom i need to flash first, it would have to be Orange branded too right? Is there any chance you could give me it's exact name or provide a link?
Thanks greatly for the help.

Once you have downgraded you don't need root or s-off to flash the RUU and you don't have to flash an orange branded one. You can flash any updated .exe.
if I have time ill find you a link..
*EDIT*
Also bear in mind if you flash the orange ruu. Or any other branded rom. It will still have all the bloatware you are trying to get rid of.
You must flash a standard HTC one. Go to the HTC website and download the official update from there. You will need to downgrade first though.

That's the problem, the HTC 2.3.3 rom was only ever released OTA, and is not available to download from their website.
Although i think i have managed to find the ".exe" version of that rom.
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed
From what i can tell, this seems to be the newest, Genuine HTC 2.3.3 rom for the Desire HD.
So, i just need to downgrade and then install this right?
So what do i need & what do i do to downgrade, bearing in mind what i currently have installed?

Ok, so where would i find this 1.32 rom?
Also, when i have this HTC rom loaded on, will i still receive any OTA updates? And would they be HTC branded one's from that point on?

the 1.32 downgrade should be in the link I sent you. I'm not sure about the ota updates. its seriously worth considering doing a full root after you dg and try out some of the fantastic roms some of which are kept as stock but you have more options and root privilages.

You have to downgrade and use a goldcard to de-brand your phone. You cannot flash a standard WWE ROM on a branded phone. After you have completed the steps of de-branding and flashing the latest WWE ROM.... OTA updates may or may not work.
Everything you have asked about is already thoroughly documented elsewhere in the forum and I suggest you go read all the stickies. Do not do anything with your phone that you do not fully understand as you could run into problems.
With Regards to warranty and such-like that people have mentioned, HTC don't really care what you do to the phone software-wise, they might have a problem if you returned it too them in pieces claiming that it just came out of your pocket that way.
Just read everything here and you should be good to go.
Peace.

[Q] Big problem. UNLOCKED. HBOOT 1.03.0003. S-ON. cyanogenmod 4.0.4

Hi everyone, i've got a big trouble. A friend need to restore his HTC Desire to stock, just as factory, the details are these:
UNLOCKED
SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.03.0003
It got installed cyanogenmod 4.0.4, and it's not root.
The question is... (after trying lots and lots of things...) how can i do it?
This is very very difficult for me, i really don't know where to start.
Thanks a lot!
Cyanogenmod 4.0.4? I don't think such a thing exists.
Anyhow, you need to flash a RUU to go back to stock. Does the 2.3 RUU work? Try it.
Hi!, RUU does not work, but i will change ID with RIFF so i can use wuropean RUU, because this version have not RUU.
