Hello everyone,
Just need a little advice.
A while ago, I rooted using the gold card and flashed to the stock 2.1.
I now want to flash to the official stock 2.2.
Just wondering whether I need to create a new gold card, is the process difference as I have already rooted. Do I need to re-root and flash, if so, how ?
Sorry I'm a newbie.
Thanks
Right, I've done a little searching. I think I need the generic 2.2 rom with super user access. I currently have generic 1.15.405.4 with 0.75 HBOOT. I can't any link to generic 2.2 super user access rom ?
Update: I have downloaded r6 from modaco, there it said I need to be able to launch custom recovery image. Fine, I downloaded fake flash, I'm able to launch fake flash but what next. I can't have two files with the name update.zip on the sd card (one fro fake flash and the other the actual rom) or am I missing something?
Ok, I have managed to locate the zipdate. I think it flasshed it, but when I reboot it's stuck on a black screen with "android" in blue.
Any help!
I need urgent help please guys.
For the stock 2.2 WWE rom visit this thread,you just need to flash it.

All,
Basically I have what was an Orange branded Desire but I unlocked and rooted it and until yesterday I was running Modaco R5 froyo MCR
I have tried to unroot and my goldcard works fine but it will only let me install the virgin ROM:
RUU_Bravo_Virgin_Mobile_1.23.351.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_128941_signed.exe
I have tried 5 different WWE and European RUU's but keep getting the same bootloader version error.
Any help or advice would be appreciated, I am not a noob to all this and flashed ROMS when I had my Hero, the only thing I can think of is that all the RUU Roms are for 7.5 Bootloader.
I think youre right, I believe that if you try to flash a rom that is compatible with the boot-loader it will fail, the first one I tried when trying to get to the official froyo without root didnt work I just went the other way and took the rooted option it means I can go back anytime without warranty issues.
I have a tmo with hboot 0.80. I am rooted and have flashed the froyo rooted vrsion which is what I think you need to do.
Best bet is to head over to macardo forum sign up and ask there, the thread I put on this morning asking about rooting has still not been answer at macardo I got answers straight away.
If your rooted install the clockworkmod recovery which you will find here under fake flash: hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189 change the xx's for t's^
follow the instructions
then install the rom manager from the market, first click on install rom from sd this will make th rom manager install files you need to access the recovery without having to flash it every time.
then download the latest radio found here : hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464 Not th leaked but the latest 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
put on root of sd card make sure you set your desire to charge only after this, go into rom manager and reboot into recovery you should see green writing not blue and it should look similar to what you see on hero or g1 then flash from sd card you radio once your radio has been flashed reboot put a froyo rootd rom onto your sd card and reboot into recovery the same way and flash job done.
This took me 5 hours believe it or not but now I know how to do it would probably take 20-30mins

Hi, I am new to the andriod platform an i have just got a HTC Desire with Virgin Mobile, PLEASE BE GENTLE.....
It does not seem to be sim locked as i have tried an Orange sim in the phone and it works.
I have seen a Desire with Froyo on it and want to upgrade my phone.
After trying all the guides on various forums i still cannot upgrade and VM is not offering the update OTA.
when trying the Goldcard method I get error wrong bootloader, when trying with the OTA named update.zip using recovery it also throws up an error and exits.
What i have done now is rooted the phone using unrevoked3 method which has worked.
i want to have a stock 2.2 phone, not bothered about keeping the root, if i put the OTA update.zip on the sd card (or goldcard as i have created one) and flash using the clockworkmod recovery which is now on my phone will this work or should i update the radio first and will i be able to get OTA updates in future ???
my desire is:
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband version 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Software number 1.23.351.1
Bootloader 0.80.0000
when it boots it has the VM logo but apart from that there is no other branding on the phone.
Obviously i dont want to brick the phone, i have done lots of reading and i am still unsure of how i can get my phone updated.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help....
Your phone is rooted?
Simply download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
Which is a rooted but everything else is the same as stock 2.2. That way you'll have the option to use custom roms etc.
If you need step by step instructions to flashing as the guide on that page isn't so detailed let me know.

Thanks for the reply , if i keep root i was thinking of trying this rom

i take it since my desire is rooted and i am on boot 0.80.000 i will just need to flash radio first , then flash the rom??
will it matter that my desire is possibly classed as branded and has the operators custom firmware on looking at the software number???
do i just rename the radio to update.zip and put on sd card and flash with clockworkmod , then do the same with the rom ???
should i use the goldcard when doing the above or will any sd card be ok??
thanks again for the advice....
Update....
Took the plunge and installed radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 and then the Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed].
All went well but the phone was running slow.
Did a factory reset and wipe in clockworkmod and reinstalled the rom.
restored my apps using mybackup , got contacts back off google account and all is good now.
Hi mates,
my desire has originally been branded t-mobile (Germany), then i flashed a simple rooted 2.2, then RCMix HD.
now i would like to revert to a stock htc rom (2.2), since there is still no sign of a solution for the camera problem.
my question is: which is the latest unbranded release of 2.2 for a german gsm desire?
and on a related matter: will a backup restore work on an earlier version?
Greetings, max
please?
pretty please?
i tried running the signed ruu exe from this forum, but i got a user ID error
The stock 2.29.405.2 RUU, or any different from the original T-Mobile one, will need a gold card to flash. Search on how to make one
well, i can't make a goldcard at the moment, because my computer keeps telling me i need to format my sd card, when i plug my phone in in storage mode (one of the reasons i want to revert).
isn't there a rom that is close to stock 2.2 but rooted, that i could just flash in recovery? i have looked at a lot of roms here, but they all are in one way or another modified, which i do not want.
anyone happen to know a suitable rom for me?
I have HTC Desire bought from India with baseband version=32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 & software number=2.13.720.1.
I rooted my phone with unrewoked3 but now i want to get back to my original rom which i got at the time of purchase as i am not able to get updates. I have tried to flash rom : RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed but not able to get it done with error 131. Please some one help me out of this i have checked everywhere for this but not able to get it done.. Please help me out of this..
I have successfully flashed the following ROM by using gold card:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed
But i think that this is not the rom which was earlier on my desire at the time of shipping,because i was getting update for:RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India.
Can someone help me getting this clear.. is this ROM different from what i was having at the time of purchase???
You did not need to install that RUU Rom that u installed. Unrevoked ONLY provides root, it does not replace your ROM. You actually lost the original ROM now by installing this new ROM.
Thanx for your valuable reply... But now what i can do??? I want to get back to my original ROM how can i get there??
I'm afraid not much.
Over at shipped roms there is only an old RUU 2.1 (eclair).
It's the right one for you and if you managed to find the updates you'll be okay, you can also try searching for OTAs but I don't know if you have big chance for an OTA when you are right now in such an old version.
Maybe you can mail htc to ask them if they will provide you with a link for the froyo OTA for your software version, tell them you missed it...
clockworkmod
hehe..
I have clockworkmod which is there in the SD card(after rooting the device by unrewokrd one get this), can this help me in getting my ROM back??
You can restore from clockwork but you'll then be still roooted, although with your original 2.2 ROM.
You did the backup rooted - the restore therefore will be with root.
Can i try to downgrade bootloader
Hmmm... Thanks man :-(
I have tried to flash RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127705_signed
by using gold card but not able to do that.. I think i have to downgrade radio or boot-loader first then i will be able to do the same... Is it true???
Also please try to give the procedure to downgrade boot-loader...
I don't have experience with downgrading but you can follow the guide by teppic in development - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
And you do not need a goldcard when you are flashing an Indian x.xx.720.x ROM because your original ROM was this type. You need it only when you are flashing update or a ROM that is not for your device.
OK... I am trying on the same thread but thanx for this..
I will try to downgrade, lets hope for the best
Yet another noob here requiring help. Hello to you all, hope someone can help.
Until yesterday my Desire was running an unmodified WWE 2.2 froyo rom. The phone wasn't rooted. (can't remember which version of the rom I had). This phone was brought from 02 (UK) and debranded by myself with the above rom installed.
I stupidly checked for OTA updates and one was found - if I remember correctly it was an update that came out in 2010 which caused people's WIFI not to work, switching the WIFI on the word ERROR would appear. Additionally I didn't have my GoldCard in at the time either.
Anyhow, i've been fiddling all night and have now ended up installing ClockworkMod (3.32 - downloaded from their website). I thought I could find a sense rom that would fix the WIFI problem, but now having read through pages of various forums all I want to do is get back to where I was yesterday. I'm not really interested in trying out various roms, all I want is to get back to a debranded sense 2.2 froyo with all features working i.e WIFI.
Apologies if this sounds kinda off, I really didn't think I'd be all day trying to sort this problem out. Perhaps if I'd decided to play around with bootloaders, roms etc. I'd be happy to experiment but not when I don't have the time especially with a little due any moment.
So I'd like to know what my options are now, I would appreciate you help.
Regards
Henguist
P.S Details of phone software:
The current baseband Version is 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
The Radio Version is 5.09.00.20 (as above)?
The kernel is 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527
The build is 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys
The software is 2.10.405.2
The browser is Webkit 3.1
HBoot is 0.93.0001
i haven't used a gold card for a long time so i'm not too sure if this actually works. someone correct me if im wrong, but i think you can put any .zip rom file into your goldcard and then just run clockwork recovery to update from .zip from sdcard and then it will simply install the rom. the only froyo wwe rom files i can find seem to be .exe files that are meant to be run while your phone is already booted into the OS.
if you do happen to find a .zip rom file you want just boot into clockwork recovery and then wipe /system to get rid of the rom you have installed and then install the .zip you want from sdcard. before doing so it's always best to make a backup in clockwork.
Many thanks kokocabana for your reply! I have now returned back unmodified WWE 2.2 froyo rom, with help from this forum - many thanks.
Firstly I found this thread, followed the instructions there then downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed and installed.
Hope this helps somebody!
Once again thanks to xda forums
