[Q] rooting hboot 0.83 and amoled screen

if i root my desire with hboot 0.83, soft number 1.24.161.3 using unrevoked, ill get clockwork mod recovery and be able to flash custom/offical unbranded unrooted roms ?

Yes, this is exactly what I have done. I was having trouble with the windows version of unrevoked3, However the linux version worked perfectly.

awsome, thanks. maybe ill try it tomorrow then. apart from problem with unrevoked did you run into any other problems?

No I've not run into any problems as of yet.
After using unrevoked I flashed this ROM:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775 ( Sorry I can't post links)
I made sure that I flashed the radio ROM first though to ensure that I didn't suffer the SIM lock issue which can affect Orange UK users with this update so if you Orange you might want to make sure you that first as well.

[Q] Root question

Hi guys, got my Orange-branded uk desire a couple of days ago and have been reading up on rooting etc ever since.
In homage to my username, i'm following this to remove the carrier software:
(rootmydroid.cx.ux/) guides/general/howto-root-your-htc-desire-wildfire-evo-incredible-with-unrevoked/
I'm at step 3. My question is where can i find the most up-to-date official htc rom to flash onto my desire? I know a google search will give me loads of choices, but a lot are now months old and I'm keen not to flash an old version - im running 2.2 at the moment, but i basically just want an unbranded phone without the hassle of making a goldcard.
Is there one single file out there that i need? or will it consist of seperate rom and a radio files? Will the rom come as a .zip or .exe?
I know its a basic question, and once i've got the answer i'll leave you alone and follow the guide myself....just didnt want to flash with unrevoked, and not have a rom to reflash!
if it helps, these are my details:
bravo pvt4 ship s-on
hboot 0.93.0001
micro 051d
touch panel synt0101
radio 5.10.5.30
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You will need a Goldcard if you're moving off an Orange rom even if you're going to stock HTC.
This is the first thing to do before going any further.
As for an upto date stock unbranded rom, see http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
You will need to run this RUU on your PC while your phone is connected in fastboot mode.
Please be aware tho, that there isn't an Orange RUU available at the moment so going back to an Orange stock rom could be an issue.
Oh, and do a nand backup as soon as you have rooted.

Ah right, ok
I was under the impression that loading a rom via unevoked would effectively overwrite the rom i have now, meaning the carrier's applications would be removed in the process?
I guess a complete debrand isn't what I'm after - I don't mind if i still have the Orange logo on start-up (I don't want to unlock it from the Orange network either), as long as there are none of their applications like Orange Maps and Orange Photos when I'm actually using the phone.
Would i still need a goldcard for that? Or would i be able to follow the guide in the link in my first post, flashing the rom you suggested at stage 3?
Thanks in advance!

If you're going to go to a stock, unrooted, unbranded ROM then you won't be able to restore a nandroid backup as you need root!!
First thing, as said, is to make a gold card. Then use it to flash the 2.29.405.2 RUU. Then see how you get on as it is. If you still don't think it's doing what you need it to then root and go for a custom ROM

Right, ive created a goldcard using a guide on the unlockr.com
The website provides links to desire rooting tools 0.75 or 0.80 bootloaders, however mine is 0.93.0001. Can anyone offer any guidance please?
Thanks in advance!

can i use that with a goldcard to just debrand then? thought that was only for rooting?

The stock rom (or pretty near to stock) you posted a while back eddy was good enough for his needs do you think?
I think Frankdroid did a variation in your thread of it with root and a2sd+. I was using it for a while and battery was good and the rom smooth enough.

Right...
If you just wanna debrand, as is get rid of the Orange crap, and not be rooted then all you need is a gold card and the RUU from my signature. This will give you a stock, unbranded HTC ROM
If you wanna root and go for a custom ROM, use unrEVOked

yea, i just wanna get rid of the Orange crap. I've made my goldcard, following a guide on theunlockr .com, but have come unstuck when it lists some downloads for certain bootloaders that would allow me to run the RUU, however my bootloader is a lot newer so i wasnt sure where i go from here, now that i've made my goldcard
I've downloaded the RUU, but when i run the .exe, is says its not a valid win32 application....?
Basically i've got a goldcard and the ruu. How do i now get it loaded on my phone?

Which RUU did you download? Latest unbranded one is the one in my signature. Ignore guides online as they've not been updated for months

ive got the ruu from your sig. Goldcard was made following an old guide on the web. Will this be ok?
just not sure where to go next in terms of actually getting the ruu on my phone with the goldcard

Gold card guide is fine. That RUU is also fine as it's my upload and is the one I use myself (using Windows 7 Ultimate x64). Don't know why your version of Windows won't run it - unless it's a corrupt download

yeah, weird. Using Win xp. I'll redownload the ruu in your sig. Once i've got it, what do i do? Turn on phone with power/vol down? Then what do i need to select? I'm guessing once im in the right section, i just connect phone to pc, and just run the ruu .exe?
Sorry, loads of basic q's, appreciate your help!

Turn phone on holding the back button and you'll be in FASTBOOT. Connect to the PC and once your Desire says FASTBOOT USB run the RUU

An error (-5001 : 0x80070002) has occured while running the setup.
Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications. If the error still occures, please contact your vendor
Bugger! Any ideas?

It worked! Thanks a lot for your help EddyOS

np
Remember, though...you'll need your gold card for ALL future OTA updates if you're staying stock. You may as well make your day to day card your gold card to cut out the faffing about!

[Q] HTC Desire 2.3.3(Ginge) Downgrade to 2.2 Foyo?

G'day peeps,
I really didnt want to post this. Ive scoured for hours and hours though and although Ive found lots of downgrade threads from Gingerbread to Froyo the reported Radio version is always different to mine. As is the software version.
So heres my predicament. I (stooopidly) upgraded to Gingerbread but want root access!
The only way I can see me being able to get root access is if a downgrade is possible?
Here's my phone report
HTC Desire (NOT HD)
Android Version 2.3.3
Baseband Version 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Build Number 3.14.405.1 CL96875 release-keys
Software Number 3.14.405.1
I believe my Hboot to be 1.06 or something.
Do I have any chance at all? And if so where can I find some destructions?
Thanks guys

http://revolutionary.io

You can root gingerbread, go to revolutionary.io
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Thanks guys. I had actually bookmarked http://revolutionary.io as a possible.
Im very pleased, now I have performed an entire backup and flashed cyanogenmod v7 (stable)
Runs like a dream and vrey customisable too
Now Ive a few more questions?
I am interested in trying out a few more roms to find the "one" I think I could be happy with for a while.
Heres are the roms Im interested in:
Virtuous Unity v2.35.0
Uncommon Sense
Sense-o-Villain
and very interested in TwoPointTwo
However, Warm for example states I need to download radio/wiimax updates.
Other roms have similiar requirements. Like a CM7 Hboot rev2 etc.
I've tried to work our if its safe or not for me to instll any of these and as far as I can tell it isnt.
Thanks again for all the help

Unable to downgrade
I tried all methods of downgrading but there is no success. But I have successfully rooted my HTC Desire running 2.3.3 with revolutionary.io method + CWD + su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.
Is there anyone in this world downgraded Gingerbread to Froyo?? I also have the same radio version 5.17.05.23 , but whenever I try to downgrade it says "main version is older update failed".

what is the ruu that u used?
if u want a froyo rom, just flash a rom from the recovery
if u want go back to stock froyo (why u should do this? u need warranty?) then fastboot flash the bravo downgrader hboot from alpharev.nl then the froyo ruu

Teppic74's downgrader used to downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 regardless of Hboot. The only thing it needed was temp root which it did for you.
Obviously the exploit used to root Froyo no longer works in GB, but if it already has root, it may work.
Heres the thread.
Although there is some question about erase size 40,000 devices so I would keep an eye on this thread for information purposes rather than jum,ping in and breaking things

its reported to work millions of time..the bravo downgrader is a 0.93 hboot..and the last froyo ruu has the same hboot version...
anyway when u have s-off, with fastboot u can flash every hboot u wish (its not like the ruu, there is no check in fastboot flash command)

I tried that myself and it failed due wrong bootloader version.

mean u can't fastboot flash an older hboot over a new one? which were ur hboots?
the bravo downgrader hboot from alpharev doesn't have a downgrade protection, over that u can run every ruu to overwrite it, thats what aplharev say

-uninstall htc synch totally, and install the drivers in the guide above
-download revolutionary tool with the beta key

thats it..u are s-offed, after that install super user from recovery to have root (in the guide above is described how to)

HI Guys, i have the same phone information mentioned before and i tried revolutionary tool but it's failed, i don't know where is the mistake.

I had the same problem, the only solution that worked for me was this:
1. do your backups
2. use revolutionary.io to S-OFF and CWM
2. get
Code:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
3. run it and let it downgrade the Android to 2.2
4. root using unrevoked 3 (not able to use external links yet, google it up)
Hope it will help

[Q] USB brick problem

Hi everybody!
I tried downgrading a friend of mine's Desire from Gingerbread to Froyo via official RUU. The problem is that everything is working except the USB connection, but only when the o.s. is running. I can access the hboot and recovery.
The problems are:
- the phone is not rooted and I can't root using unrevoked or revolutionary
- flashing another root doesn't solve the problem (hboot is 0.93 and I can flash only the latest RUU)
- no terminal root access from the phone (obviously)
- Windows can't recognize properly the phone (Qualcomm drivers request)
I followed many guides on this forum and on the web, new and old, but anything worked. Do anyone have any idea?

there's a section on my guide for that, try it. It's only been tested on 2.2 S-OFF but it's worth a try.

well the guide gets temproot, and that's the best you can get with usb brick if you're on a stock ROM (if you're on 2.2 anyway) was worth a try though.
try calling htc and get their opinion on this matter and whether they'd fix it for you. Just tell them you did the update and now usb doesn't work (don't call it usb brick, make yourself sound like a total retard [not calling you one obviously] who doesn't know what he's doing and they should pity you)

[Q] Video recording problem after rooting with unrevoked

I'm having a problem after rooting via unrevoked my cellphone stuck/stop working while recording video i have flashed Insertcoin's 2.1 A2SD 1.1.3 ROM last time i rooted via revolutionary.io n inserted the same rom, that time video recording was workin' fine, what do u guys think?what went wrong?

Why did you root your phone two times?
Try another rom to preclude it's the rom.

OH yeah have another problem when i lower my desire's brightness to almost 0% black colors on my screen turns to be as purple color :/ what kinda problem is this?

If you answer my questions / try my suggestion, I will answer your second question.

First thing i rooted using revolutionary tools at the first place flashed sum roms then finally found insertcoin 2.1 a2sd it was working fine.
Second i used RUU to revert back to the stock rom n all that coz i wanted to give my cell to sum one else.
Third i didnt gave my cell so decided to root again but i couldnt as my cell (still) was S-OFF n my H-BOOT version was updated so i couldnt root it again using revolutionary,there was no clockworkmod as well,no SuperUser then i tried to install CWM through SD card it didnt help too.after 3 hours of search n trouble n experimentation i decided to root it again
Thats y i decided to root my cell via Unrevoked

Okay, now try another rom.

Dude the thing is i used the same rom both times n yeah most probably changing the rom will help but i want this rom

bump bump bump

Okay!!! the thing is i've flashed a new rom n the problem persists

Flash gingerbread RUU, use revolutionary.io and flash the rom you want again. Further and detailed information can be found in bortaks guide.

1st do i have to unroot before flashing gingerbread RUU?coz last tym i didnt unrooted my device before flashin RUU n i had many troubles such as CWM wasnt installed nor superuser while Security was off.
2nd my hboot version is updated n the updated (hboot version) is not available in revolutionary.io
3rd i'd really appreciate if u post links here (gingerbread RUU n bortaks guide)
n thx alot for ur tym mate

If you flash RUU, you will loose S-OFF, root and recovery. Furthermore, your hboot will be updated to 1.02.0001 (GSM Desire). This hboot version is supported by revolutionary.io.
Just to be sure: You have a GSM desire right?

yup its GSM

Okay, so you can do what I told you.

Man can u share the RUU's link what u want me to flash???

Talking about this ruu?
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...Bravo&file=HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip

Should be, but I recommend to take the one from htcdev.com:
http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152

Man my ruu is stuck at 72% (updating system) its been 25 mins now what should i do now?

okay the thing is i've used another ruu n my current hboot version is 6.93.1002 where on the other side revolutionary.io only supports 0.93.0001 n 1.02.0001 :/

Cancel process, flash hboot_downgrader from alpharev-website, then run RUU again.
