[Q] Getting everything back to normal ? - Desire General

I want to restore my Desire back to normal, normal ROM (2.1), and the stock radio and non-rooted.
Is there any way I can do this without my carrier (Telus) finding out that I have previously had a custom ROM and this phone had been rooted ?
I wanna do this because my phone fell and now it will not connect to Telus and my sound won't work .

Have a look and see if thay have a ruu on shiped roms
You need one from your network
T i d y .

How would I know which one to use?
Their have a few .exes and a few .zip files
The .exes files all have Verizon in their names...which should I use?

Use the one with Telus? D'oh

Look in the bravo section not the Desire section of shipped roms.

Also, before you proceed, create a goldcard right now!
There are countless reports of HTC Desire SLCDs being soft bricked while applying the RUUs. Mine was one of them. The gold card is needed to flash a generic RUU in case the branded RUU you try crashes the phone.

My Phone came with the default asian ROM 1.19.707.7.
It's a SLCD phone.
and it worked perfrctly with it.
I have rooted the phone and now i want to go back to the factory ROM. but when i download the default 1.9.707.7 RUU ad installed, my screen gets bricked due to ROM not having SLCD drivers.
at last found a solution...
wht i did was, first installed the normal Desire Asian ROM. Yes it will brick your phone... then i used a card reader to put the Asian Froyo Update file to the sd card (Renamed as update.zip)
then i followed the SLCD bricked tutorials on how to install a Update to a SLCD brocked phone..
hope this will help....

[Q] Need to flash back to stock Orange ROM for warranty repair.

Hi there, Got a desire which I rooted using goldcard method way back when I first got the phone (flashed it with stock HTC ROM to get rid of branding etc).
Now I have to send the phone back for a warranty repair and i'm not sure how to get back to stock rom. I tried using revoked3 to root it so I could install the orange ROM but had no luck (possibly due to the fact it was rooted via goldcard method as its carrier locked).
Would it be as easy as getting the orange ROM and just updating it normally? Or will I have to go through the whole tedious goldcard method again?
The big problem is that there isn't an Orange RUU available and, as far as I know, no-one has dumped it to install as an update zip.
If you did find it anywhere then you shouldn't need the gold card.

yeah I cannot find it anywhere!
At the moment, there isn't one.
Perhaps you should just flash the WWE RUU and hope orange dont ask questions
Unfortunately, you're in the same boat as all orange customers that have rooted....

And t mobile uk customers with slcd screens wwe ruu is the only way or my way which was to use an amoled ruu which blanked the screen so along with a new motherboard it also got a screen! Not that I did it intentionally mind! Sheer luck saved the day.

[Q] Restore my HTC Desire back to stock

Hello All
Sorry if this has been asked before I didn't see it anywhere.
I rooted then upgraded my HTC Desire to Oxygen 2.3 but to be honest not impressed I use my mobile for my business and I just need it to work ..and well it dosent.
So please can someone let me know how I re-install the original ROM and OTA updates enabled. Im with Vodafone in the UK and would be most grateful for some help.
Thanks
Paul
Did you "Nandroid backup" before flashing Oxygen?
If you want ro use stock with OTA updates, you have to flash the original ROM with the RUU. There are the shipped RUUs in the Desire Developement section.

Might work
I disabled my Anti Virus Avast and now its downloaded and running ok! thanks
doh I spoke to soon the RUU .exe file is running ok but when I got this new error now.
I also tried the method of placing the rom onto the root of the sd card but it just said can't find image?
Ok got a bit further I got HBOOT to load the image but it says:
CID Incorrect!
Update Failed!
Do you want to reboot this device?
Yes
No
hmmm
Do I need to create a GoldCard?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743023&page=2
i don't know but I thought a gold card was only needed in the past not any more to root the phone in the first place ?
Yes, you need to have a goldcard.

Can I assume that this process will remove root access and/or S-Off?
Yes, both will be removed if you flash an RUU or PB99IMG.zip.

I use Windown 7 x64, and I still unroot without a problem occurs
Sorry to drag an old thread up!
I have had my desire with LeeDroid on it as far back as I can remember, but recently my phone just keeps restating when it gets slightly warm, browsing GPS ect trigger it. It's not the ROM as it's happened before in recovery too. Needs to go back to warranty........
So, I need to convert back to standard, I'm going to do this after the phone has been in the fridge for a while so it doesn't cut out during flashing!
Mines a Vodafone desire, but I never remember any branding on it, or on the box and no voda apps I can think of.
Currently on 32.56.00.32U _ 5.17.05.08
Should I go for a voda specific or an unbranded? If so, can some kind soul point me in the direction of said ROM?
If you did not have a branding, no need to install a branded ROM.
Usually you find all the ROMs at shipped-roms dot com slash index.php QuestionMark category=android And model=Bravo
Sorry but I can not post external Links yet as I'm a Noob in this Forum.

Download and run the latest ruu. Check the Desire Index thread.

Actually, you need to download the latest RUU for YOUR Desire. Did you make a note of it before flashing a new ROM?

Hi
When I tried H3G uk its saying ur phone ready to use but screen not working when i tried WWE(world wide english), it stated the customer id prob, install correct RUU.
You need a gold card for a non-3 UK RUU - sounds ike you have an SLCD screen and flashed an AMOLED RUU, hence the black screen
Out of interest, if you run available 3uk ruu and check for updates, won't it update it for you? Mine was 3uk before root and custom ROM, so might need this info at some point. Thanks

Yes, but if you can't see what you're doing it'll be hard to do it
I see what you mean lol. In old Nokia days we used to change language to Chinese on the friend phones. After having it done to me a few time I could change it back with my eyes closed. LOL

Not been able to find the stock Orange ROM myself. I'm still struggling to get past the rooting stage to get rid of my Orange ROM. I've followed the video tutorial but keep getting stuck at the CID error. How do you manage to get rid of the Orange bloatware on your device?
