Hi there.
I'm new toe the.forum but got referred.of Android forums.
I've searched and tried.a few unrest.guides.to.restore.my HTC to its default state. It was purchased.from 3 so I'm guessing I need a 3 ruu?
The guides I've tried just tell me the ruu is incompatible withbthe phone? I'm on 2.2 and 0.8 bootloader .
Can any one help?
Thanks
Moved to Q&A as not development.

Ive not tried to unroot, but the guides i used to get mine rooted also have guides for unrooting so i figure they should work. I dont know if these are the ones you have used or not but here they are:
XDA guide.
The unlockr.
Also id ask in them threads if you have not already done so.
Also, did you use a goldcard to root, as i believe you need this to unroot and that it needs to be the same sd card that the gold card was made with?

Hello guys,
Please help me out. I have an amoled desire and a slcd one also.
I tried to unroot both of them the amoled went good without a problem, however the slcd seems to be impossible to.
The slcd is S-OFF and not branded, and when I try to flash via bootloader the .zip file it keeps me telling me CID wrong (this was the method I used with the amoled desire and worked)
Please any help will be highly appreciate it.
Thanks
What ROM did it come with first of all? Was it branded?
I am not sure which ROM it came with, I am sure it is unbranded but the ROM it came well what I can tell you it was that it came with 2.2 Froyo already installed. Is there a way to know the ROM?
Not if you've since rooted it and run a custom ROM - this is why I always make sure I know what I've got originally so I can always fall back on something if need be...
Having said that, if you wanna go back to stock then follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
If it doesn't work then it sounds like it might be a branded phone as I'm sure a CID error is due to not using a gold card
So is not way to unroot it?
What happen if I install a custom Froyo ROM, like my other rooted desire that has stock froyo 2.2 rooted? would that help?
Well I have tried with a Goldcard also and nothing. The phone has even the S-OFF and i suppose that with S-OFF the phone should skip the CID error or am I mistaken?
When I run it with a goldcard the phone does not recognize the zip file
Best follow the guide in my other post and go back to stock and start again...

If i follow this method will I be then able to root the desire again?
Thanks a lot for your help I really appreciate it
Yes as it puts you back to stock 2.1
Have to ask, why are you going back to stock just to root again? If you're rooted already then carry on as before
Thanks a lot I just tried that utility and tells me I need a goldcard (even though my desire is unbranded)
Then when putting a goldcard it keeps up telling me the same.
Is there a way to know if the sd card i have is a goldcard??
Quick way is to make it again, then you know it's done
It also means your Desire was branded before you rooted it
Thanks a lot would try again later tonight really thanks a lot for the amazing help highly appreciate it
Hi all,
Strangely, I failed to find the answer of, what otherwise seems like, a simple question. I am running a custom Rom right now on my DHD, and I want to go back to stock Rom because I am selling this phone. Can someone point me to a guide, maybe already written by someone.
Thanks,

I have to get Desire Z as I really need a physical keyboard. DHD is undoubtedly the best phone I have ever used.
im trying to go back to the stock Vodafone Australia image and every time it gets to Installing update... it stops. Installation Aborted. It doesn't even say why.
Anyone have any ideas? Its driving me mental. I have been installing ROMs on this for ages and have never encoutered this issue. Erased all cache, partition etc...

Are you having the problem doing it manually, if so try using FULL-WIPE.

Did you make a goldcard before rooting? if not, this could be the issue.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
yes, i did create a Goldcard when i first did it a long time ago.. Tried FULLWIPE.ZIP as well.
at this stage im going to have to send it back to VF with Android revolution on it..
kiwiboy1978,
Check this guide / links to guides for your very problem;
The Complete Guide 2 Return Rooted Phone Back 2 Stock for Vodafone Australia Warranty
The procedure should be the similar for othe carriers, although you might have to obtain the HBOOT & Recovery image from elsewhere.
Can you explain about the goldcard question. If I DIDNT use a goldcard would it cause this? I didnt think that I could root the mobile in the first place without the goldcard.
Its just weird as every other ROM installs without a hitch. Just the stock Vodafone ROM is doing this. And of course its the one I really need back on there!
aargh!!
**clarification, i did use a goldcard as far as i remember*
I never had to use a gc, as not carrier branded. Reading on xda, others have had issues trying to downgrade to stock without the gc. Without it they were getting cid mismatch or such when trying to flash.
Even if you have cid 11111111 now, it is still possible to check what your cid was before. Maybe this is part of the "check" it does when trying to flash back and giving cid errors/mismatch.
Check original in ADB, command prompt;
adb shell getprop ro.cid
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
ok, checked my CID and its VODAP021.. does this sound right?
shouldnt it be as you suggest 111111111?
If you did it in adb, that confirms that your phone was definitely carrier branded and you need s gc.
If you go to fastboot, system info, if your phone is s-off, cid will show 11111111.
I'm away atm, and can't really to any digging for you, sorry. There are a few threads going around on the topic, incl the one I gave you previously.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
ok. remade a goldcard got the stock ROM on it, same issue.
under system info it says S-OFF but the CID is still VODAP021. do I need to root this phone again using Visionary?
Deleted, been a long day.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Hi, just wanted to thank you anyway.
Those guides didnt work in my case. What I ended up doing was re-rooting the phone. Making a backup of the Android-revolution HD rom through ROM Manager, then replacing the contents of the backup folder with the contents of the Vodafone ROM.
This worked.
Cheers.
Good to hear.

Hi all
I am trying to debrand my T-mobile desire. I have rooted my phone and removed the security lock. I have also created a gold card and inserted it into the phone.
However when i run the stock HTC RUU it reboots the phone into the boot loader and then gives me an error saying it cant update the rom.
This is now deiving me crazy. As i am a complete noob at flashing android phones.
Any help will greatly appreciated. As i feel it is something i am doing wrong.
Thanks
Jonathan
If you have rooted your phone you don't really need the gold card, as that was a method used to debrand a phone without having to root.
Which method did you use to root your phone?

Not entirely true. I rooted my Desire first then used an ruu but I have to use a goldcard to do it.
To be honest, you don't really need to debrand your phone. Just whack a rom on it.

Yeah I know I can put another Rom on . But at the moment I just want to try the stock HTC Rom.
Make sure you use a pre rooted rom otherwise you could find yourself losing root, could be a bit of a problem too with htc locking down thier phones.
I am not too bothered if it does remove root.
I assume it can be re rooted .
I know there were reported problems over on the android forums from some people losing root & not being able to root again.
Not sure if that was sorted out, could be a good idea to ask around some more to be certain.
You sure the ruu is a complete dl? Have to download multiple times off shipped roms, first few tries are always partials.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Still I am fine with that just need to get the T-Mobile sh*t.off the the phone. As they think it exceptable not to realise Rom updates . When HTC clearly think it is needed.

That's a useless site now. There is an ruu thread, go in there and click the link to the latest wwe ruu. Scroll through till you get a multiupload link, download that.

I download the rom the ruu thread. I will try re downloading it.
am I right in thinking that I should be downloading the WWE Rom for the UK?
Hey all, new here to posting although use this site alot for the quick fix answers ive had in the past.
How ever decided i would try rooting my desire z as i was looking for that extra control over everything and to loose some of that bloatware just like many of you.
Only thing im having trouble with is actually getting a successful root, im not one to just ask without looking of course but in actual fact ive been at this since 11ish this morning (8hours ago) with no luck. Ive tried about 5 different methods (from xda users such as 'Aegishua' and 'gtrab' guides to a random google searchs also) to no luck at all. Had quite a fair few errors pop up during the process of trying but so far my DZ is still intact and working fine but with S-ON still.
Im not here to ask for someone to explain a fool proof way to root my phone i was just hoping that someone may b able to point me in the right direction of a guide that should hopefully bring some success.
I have an unbranded Desire Z running 2.2.1 (originally 2.2) on Vodafone UK. i could list software details but im hoping someone could either tell me i can't root it since the new security update in 2.2.1 or could pass on a link to a guide that may work for me.
Sorry to sound long winded but its been a day full of "wtf's" amungst other phrases so im just a little lost and confused
Thanks in advance

if you have adb working and are comfortable with it, use the wiki method..
do you know what firmware version you are? if you are 1.72 or above, you need to downgrade to 1.34 before you will be able to root successfully.
Check in dev section, there is something bout debranding and rooting for DZ and shows what newly one has issue, also you could try the xda wiki methond gfreev.05

Before trying to root you need to follow the step above. This is mainly the mistake people make when they try to root the Desire Z if your a new comer, this is words from the wise. Lol
Your firmware is probably 1.85 or something higher than 1.72 by the looks of things which just means you need to downgrade. But the complicated part is actually getting the downgrade to recognize your vodafone branded Desire Z's unique CID. That's where a goldcard comes in handy because it bypasses the CID check.
Anyways, all you need to do is make a goldcard to downgrade. If you get any errors then post the exact errors word for word if possible.
I have got HTC DESIRE HD with the following Software statistics:
Android Version: 2.2
Software Number: 1.83.415.4
Now i want to root my HTC DESIRE HD to be able to install some custom ROMs of ANDROID 2.3 gingerbread... i have tried using all the different tools such as VISIONARY+ and many other methods that I have found over the internet but none of them works. Can anyone of you please guide me on how to correctly root HTC DESIRE HD, as i've heard that if your software version is greater than 1.72 than its not possible to root it and first you need to downgrade your software version. So help is required from anyone who could help me to downgrade and root my HTC DESIRE HD.
Try searching, you will get your answer a lot quicker. Your specific question gets asked around 2-3 times daily.
Dear, i have been doing that since long but unable to find any suitable option uptil now and that is the reason i finally posted it here.. So if you have any such link which could be of help than that would be nice of you. Thanks...

Hiya matey,
Its gotta be LeeDrOiD's GB all the way mate. Make sure you have a nandroid backup of your old ROM and be sure to backup before any significant changes to your DHD.
