Is there any way to get the stock android lock screen on an HTC Incredible without flashing a custom ROM? I'm running stock 2.2 rooted with unrevoked3.
Delete HTCLockscreen.apk from your phone.
Beautiful. Didn't realize it was that easy, thanks for the help
If you use the alarm download the vanilla clock... you will run into a problem if you dont.

You should have stayed rooted and flashed a stock rom from the development section.

I am rooted also but I did see it in the HTC Updates on my phone.

not very helpful considering the fact that a factory reset most probably still has him in a root state. You either need to do a manual unroot to get back to a true factory reset or follow these instructions as an easier way:

When you choose the RUU...use the 1.47 one...then after complete you should be able to OTA Froyo.
Wouldn't it be easier to just keep your root and download one of the newer 2.2 roms and keep root. There's even stock rooted roms.
well i the only reason i rooted to begin with was for the 2.2 update. i think if there is a like newer versions of 2.2 without htc sense then i will flash to that. does anyone know of that? a 2.2 rom thats plain android. witht he cameras and bluetooth and 4g working also pretty stable?
Yup, fusionx has a wicked fast, snappy, and stable rom without sense. Check it out in development section. Download it, do a complete wipe, and flash it. Make sure to flash new radios and wimax as well. They will be listed under the rom probably. These need to be flashed one at a time. Good luck and have fun.

CM6 is as close to ASOP as you'll ever get. It is super nice. No 4G or Hdmi yet, it will be added eventually.
Do not update to 2.2 through sprint. There is absolutely no point. Flash the rooted 2.2 stock rom, it is the exact same thing except you get to keep your root.
Hi all I have a desire de branded from orange running latest HTC rom. I was wondering if there is anyone in the colchester area who would be willing to help me flash a new sense Rom I have read a few guides about changing SD card and all and sounds to confusing so any personal help would be much appreciated. Or a really dumbed sown guide with links to every thing I need thanks all

When you say 'new' Sense I take it you mean one of the HD ROMs? This is the only way to get Sense 2.0 at present
Yes I did mean the dhd Rom just wanted to see what it is like ,
Also if I root with unrevoked will I loose my set up or does it back that up in the process

Rooting doesn't change anything except to give you root access and flash a custom recovery. The phone will still run exactly as before. You can back up the ROM before flashing by doing a Nandroid backup. Then you can flash a custom ROM but for instructions on that either read the ROM thread or search for threads on flashing a new ROM as it's not the place to do it here
Hey,
Would any of you know when the 2.29.xx firmware will be available for the htc desire with orange rom??
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
going on their performance on releasing updates in the past...about 2011...maybe.
You can contact orange customer services and ask, but they'll just lie to you.
I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you
Ok, so would i benefit from rooting this phone and putting a official debranded desire rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Possibly, but what benefits do you expect?
The problem with being on orange branded is that there's no way to get back to an orange stock rom after rooting.
This would possibly affect any warranty claims so it is a risk.....

You can root then use nandbackup so if you want to go back you can restore to orange rom.
I forget to backup mine but never regretted as I have using stock roms.

but once its rooted that effects the warranty and you'll be liable to pay for any repairs.
you are correct.
i have tried before to restore an orange nand and then apply the latest OTA over the top to try and get it unrooted but i haven't got it to work...
i may try again.
in the meanwhile, we'll just have to hope an RUU becomes available.
You can get back to fully unrooted stock orange rom I helped make a guide somewhere in the dev section. It is takes a lot longer than an ruu but it's possible.
But you still end up with the superuser icon in the menu.
No you don't you remove the superuser icon when you have root you can use adb to remove the icon and other stuff rooting adds to your phone
ste,
i've tried the process you did a number of time.
i think it only worked on an AMOLED Desire (0n 2.1).
i've tried with a Froyo orange nand and tried to flash the latest OTA over it to get rid of root but it just bootloops.
dont know if there's anything else that could be tried....
i dont actually need to go back to orange stock but it would be nice to know if theres a way.
Yea the backup is from my phone which is amoled. I dont know if flashing the 2.2 update will let slcd screens be used. To get out of bootloop flash tge update twice. Once removes clockwork mod recovery. The 2nd time the update will be flashed on stock recovery and you should be out of bootloop
Hi,
I have leedroid 3.1.4 thus my DHD is rooted but also have baseband/radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2, and Clockwork recovery on.
What is the best gingerbread ROM to go back to (unbranded)?, and can i leave the radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 on or does it get wiped over?
Also what is the best method to use?
Thanks
If I got it right, you want to go back to an unbranded htc stock rom?

Hi,
Yes thats right, wanting a gingerbread rom.
Cheers
You would have to flash an RUU for your region and then make your device S-On again. I would provide links but I'm pressed for time right now, sorry.
this rom is close to stock and is rooted.. i used it for a while and never had problems

Why u reverting to stock. Is it because of warranty claim.

Hello everyone. I have the HTC Incredible 2. I rooted my phone one day before the OTA Gingerbread update became available. I am now running Froyo and want to get gingerbread but the OTA update wont work since im rooted. Does anyone know how I can get gingerbread with a rooted incredible 2 running froyo? Im really lost at the moment on how to do this. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I cannot run the Gingerbread OTA update because i'm rooted. My phone crashes when i try to do the OTA update.
Download rmk's gingersense rom. Go into bootloader by turning off phone, volume down + power, then volume down until recovery is highlighted and press the power button to enter. Once in recovery, I'm assuming you have CWM installed, wipe data/dalvik cache, then go to install rom/zip (i don't remember the exact name lol) and flash rmk gingersense. This will bring you to stock 2.3.3 rooted.
