Just a question (maybe a stupid one, but i'm totally a noob with android)
I have a IT Fastweb branded desire, with hboot 0.75
I rooted it using unrevoked, flashing amonra recovery
Then i flashed a rooted stok froyo rom
Unfortunately i forgot to do a nandroid backup before flashing the froyo rom
The question is, can i downgrade to stock situation (branded eclair) just running the Fastweb RUU???
I'm reading the downgrade guide and i can't understand if i need all that work...
Thanks in advance
If it's the same version that came with the phone originally then yes, or with any releases since the original
Good.
Thank-you very much!

Hi all,
Need to revert my phone back to stock 2.1, do you just download the stock rom and flash??
What's the difference between then signed and unsigned versions?
I don't have a goldcard, never made one, is that a problem. I am currently running clockwork mod with oxygen. I have not s-off'd the phone.
Any info would be great as I have to return it to three to cancel my contract.
Cheers

Do you know what ROM was originally on the phone? This should be the first thing anyone does before rooting so you can go back if you need to
H3G android 2.1. That's all I know.
Any ideas?

Found an old post I made with some details about the original rom,
Radio 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09
Hboot 0.83.0001
Rom Stock 2.1 Update 1
I cant find this rom to flash back to stock, can only find the two H3G roms on the sticky.
Anyone got any ideas on this, need some help fast please.
Cheers

did you keep the backup from when you first rooted your phone?
I did, but the sd card failed and I lost everything. Can I flash either of the stock roms or will one of them, or both, kill the phone?
If you are on 3 UK then you could use the newest 3 ROM from shipped-roms.com
Thats it? No need to use a goldcard (the one I dont have) just run the exe and it'll flash the rom, radio and be back to stock again?

Hey Guys,
With the exception of the unlock, how can I restore a Visionary perma-rooted Desire Z w/S-OFF back to the stock Bell firmware and S-ON.
Thanks!
Update:
I looked at my friends phone in Bootloader:
Vision PVT SHIP (I take it that's original bootloader)
S-OFF
HBOOT 0.85.005
Device was rooted with Visionary and has newest Virtuous ROM on it.
Need to restore to Bell original.
User doesn't remember EVER uploading a new bootloader / eng / spl any of that.
There is a guide to remove permaroot here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835971
Should be the same process but with different Firmware of course (Bell rather than the TMobile G2 Firmware)
Visionary can unroot the phone...but will I be able to boot back into Virtuous after unrooting? Can I not just run the RUU after using Visionary to unroot? Those are the concerns I have.

Problem is that as far as I know we don't have an RUU or ROM image for the shipping Bell ROM. Before you flash any custom ROM you should always do a nandroid backup so you can easily restore. If you don't have a nandroid backup then all you can do is return to a pre-release Bell ROM.

Hello,
Last night I spent hours to install LeeDrOiD V3.0.6-R2 GB on a HTC Desire: it went in a bootloop probably because the phone is S-ON and (my mistake) I had no backup. I was too confident having flashed 100 of times my galaxy s and my galaxy tab without any problem. But I'm a beginner on HTC Desire.
So finally it worked and I have now the LeeDroiD GB rom, but I really suffered until 4 am.
But the phone is still S-ON and to prevent similar issues next time I want to have it S-OFF.
Is it true that Alpharev solution doesn't work with GB?
If yes, what should I do?
Thanks for helping me.
Best thing is to go back to stock, root again and then s-off and then flash a GB Sense ROM

Hello Eddy,
What a quick reply! THANKS.
I thought about going back to stock, you convinced me.
Do you think this one could be ok: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
Is there anything I should know before installing it?
no, don't go back to stock. You need a rooted rom, so I recommend using a close-to-stock but rooted Rom. So don't use the ruu (otherwise you need to reroot with unrevoked first, then S-off with alpharev) but flash a stock rooted rom in recovery.
There is a Everything-about-Desire-thread in Development section and you can download the correct rooted rom in there.
Actually any rooted Froyo-Rom without D2SD (!) should work (for example Leedroid 2.x without A2SD did work well for me) but I'd still use a hackfree rom.
Im running an unbranded, unlocked desire with Froyo currently. Its rooted using unrevoked.
I want to flash to Insertcoin latest but got some confusion from reading the docs.
Do i need to run "revolutionary" to turn my current S-ON desire into S-OFF or will it install just fine without changing?
If so, will it work with the existing revoked/cm/root mod or not or do i have to remove that first?
Once im on the ROM how easy is it to go back to stock 2.2 ? Can i just take a nandroid backup from CM recovery and then restore that or will that not work?
Help with the above is appreciated, especially if i need to be S-OFF or not to install!
All your questions can be answered by using the search.
S-OFF is not required to flash other ROM (as long as ROM has a Stock hboot version). Suggest reading this excellent FAQ (courtesy RootSU):
http://androidforums.com/desire-all...-htc-desire-root-guides-faqs-other-works.html
I originally rooted my desire years ago when it came to Canada with unrevoked and flashed clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 Over the years, I flashed various ROMs and radios without issue. I was running leedroid ROMs for the longest time. Yesterday, I flashed a CM10.1 jellybean 4.2.2 based rom without issue.

I happened to go into my bootloader today for the 1st time in ages since adfree was giving me an error about writing to the /system partion and noticed S-ON !! Now I am asking myself did I ever have S-OFF or did I somehow loose it by flashing ROMs and radios over the years ? How can I get it back ? I obviously don't want to brick my phone.

I don't think unrevoked gives you s-off. It simply installs a custom recovery and roots.
Use revolutionary to s-off. But you will first need to update your hboot using an ruu.

Well, you should remember if you ever have s-off or not. But I think there is no need to have s-off to flash custom roms or recovery. Anyway you can root and s-off your phone anytime again. Flash a RUU Rom compatible to your phone and root your phone and s-off again. You can see guides for that in development section.
