[Q] Problem with returning Official ROM

Hi to all!
I have rooted Desire and custom rom.
Now I want official rom back and normally I downloaded ROM from this forum (from HERE WWE second one...)
I connected my Desire and do everything like before but now I got an error that there is mistake in my boot-loader version and that I should download RRU installation for my boot-loader....
This is info from my phone:
v. 2.2
radio 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
build 2.10.405.2 CL226611
How is now the easiest way for me to return it to stock? Doesnt matter what version, I will do the update later...
Regards,
Ivo

Now I have downloaded and the first RUU ROM but the same problem...

Moved to Q&A as not development.

You need to get the 2.10.405.2 RUU from shipped-roms.com

HTC RUU for HBOOT 0.930001

Hi all,
I'm looking for the original HTC RUU for HBOOT 0.930001 because with other RUU's I will get the error message 140 (wrong Bootloader).
Can anyone help me?

Good morning,
I got the same problem few weeks ago.
I suggest you to make first a downgrade to hboot 0.7x. After that there are no problems any more.
Why you want de root your phone? I had a problem with my mainboard. Now I have a brand new Amoled desire
If you need some links how to downgrade please write a pm.
;-)

So I have to downgrade the HBOOT to 0.7x! And there is no RUU for the 0.930001? :-(
It would be kind, if you could forward me the links via PM!
Many thanks in advance!

The RUU in my signature is HBOOT 0.93, it's the latest unbranded WWE RUU so unless you are using an unbranded Desire you'll need a gold card to flash it
Out of interest what RUUs have you tried?

Thank you Eddy! Had the same problem as conbey, and I have searched this and other forums for a solution for not getting any working RUU. But the one in your sign finally made it!
You saved my day!

[Q] HBOOT 0.93 UNroot and no idea [solved]

Hello
I got a GSM network HTC Desire and I would like to remove the rooting. It has HBOOT 0.93 and I got no idea how to get rid of the rooting. I used the search, but it does not help me....
I did not need a goldcard to root the Desire with unrevoked3, so I do not know if I need one know... I tried to install RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed, but it tells me to get the right utility and gives me a 131 id error.
Could anyone please give me some advice?
Thx in advance.

Try a most recent RUU, this is the last
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
If ur phone is branded, u will need a goldcard, or install the right ruu from ur operator if u can find it..search on the forum..
EDIT: Remember the RUU will erase all in ur phone..btw why u want unroot? u really need unroot?

I want to unroot it because I want to sell it and people do not buy if you tell them that the warranty is gone because of the rooting.
Btw, the linked update failed with same error, 131 id error.
Some info from the menu:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
RADIO-5.11.05.14
ROM is Oxygen 2.0 RC6 (Gingerbread ROM)

Error code 131=Customer ID Error.
You need a goldcard to run this RUU. Either do that, or choose the RUU corresponding to ur brand.

Error 140->You're trying to run a lower version than the one on your system now.
There is another thread on the same error with detailed instructions on the method for Vodaphone.. I'll see whether I can find it.
Just run the RUU Eddy mentioned

That's Vodafone UK, plus you'd wanna try 2.33.161.2 if any...

Nevertheless, great support here! thx a lot.

Help getting my desire back to unrooted state

Hello
I am about to sell my desire and would like to get it back to a non modified unrooted state (ill just leave alone my S-OFF if possible), so that when i sell it, it will be able to install OTA updates and such.
Also i would like to get the original recovery back.
Before i modded it it was unbranded, so no rebranding needed.
Thanks in advance

This tutorial should help:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
And as far as I know (never tried it tough) it will revert back also to S-ON.

okay i tried doing this, but the installer throw a error 140 says BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
My bootloader says BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.75.0000
The updater says from
Version:
1.21.405.2
To
Version
1.15.405.3
so prob i need a newer installer but where do i find that?

Use this, those are very old Android 2.1 versions...

[Q] Can't flash stock ROM

For a few weeks my Desire has been playing up and unpredictably reboots, seemingly at random. Initially I thought it might be a software issue with the ROM I was using, but the same thing happened with various other ROMs I've tried since. So I'm thinking it's a hardware issue and I'll need to send my Desire in for service.
Normally I'd thoroughly read the forums and work out how to go back to a stock ROM, but I'm running out of time - only a few days left under warranty. Therefore this cry for help...
When I got the device it came with a 2.29.405.2 ROM and a 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 radio ROM. I used unrevoked3 to root the phone and have been using custom ROMs since.
I've downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe, but every time I'm trying to flash it, the process aborts during 'updating signature...' and I end up with:
Code:
ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR.
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I'm using an RUU for the wrong area? I'm pretty sure the original ROM was WWE though (it definitely was 2.29.405.2 / 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27). I've read somewhere that you can't just flash an RUU if it has a lower HBOOT version... Do I need a goldcard or what's the best way to go back to the stock ROM?
Any help would be much appreciated...
Just in case, here's what my bootloader info:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

You only need a goldcard if you are branded right now..
So is your phone branded with a carrier rom, then you must make a goldcard.
I think customer id error is due to incorrect goldcard.
There is a newer version, 2.29.405.5 I dont know if that's gonna work but worth a try.
You can also try to put the zip on your sd card instead of running an exe on your pc, assuming that you run the exe.

Thanks for the quick response.
My Desire was unbranded, so I guess I won't need a goldcard then.
I've downloaded the newer RUU version you mentioned, but got the same error message...
So far I've only tried the .exe, but I'll see if I have more success with the .zip.
Could the issue be that my current HBOOT version is higher than that of the RUU?

You can try to flash 2.3.3 from htcdev.com it's works for all hboots and without goldcards

Since you get a CID error, I would definitely try a goldcard.
You can also try flashing the downgrader from alpharev first.
ETA: I think the latter would help.

# Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first.

@MatDrOiD (vv post below) Good point. I failed to notice that.

@touch of jobo:
Flashing downgrader from AlphaRev is not possible, the OP is S-ON.
@OP:
Check bortak's guide to bring your phone back to stock.

Have you tried step 7 in Bortak's guide? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632) It was the solution for me! I skipped the downgrading part (had the same hboot as you have, so that shouldn't be a problem) and went on with phase 2.
If your phone was indeed unbranded, the goldcard should not be a problem as I understood..

Thanks guys. I'm at work at the moment but will give Bortak's guide a shot when I get home tonight and report back then.

The definition of unbranded is a bit different. Unbranded does not exactly mean that there isnt a carrier logo. HTC manufactured and sold phones in India as an example is for all intents a branded Device. It's the INFOCID property that defines whether branded or unbranded.

Inside an RUU zip is a small text file. Open it and see if your INFOCID value is included. If not, you cant flash that RUU without a goldcard. See my sig for the unbricking guide, which explains this.
From my Guide:
Find out if you have a generic unbranded HTC Desire, or a branded one. A branded Desire has a special Code (Customer ID) which prevents you from flashing a ROM meant for any other brand and also blocks a Generic WWE RUU. If you're from India, it is branded with HTC_038. If you're unbranded, things are looking much easier for you, as generic WWE RUUs for SLCD are easily available. Run the following code from the sdk folder to find out if your device is branded
Code:
fastboot oem gencheckpt
This displays the CustID Code as HTC__ (and a number). If these numbers are the same as included in the cidnum value in the file android-info.txt, your device is unbranded. I have noted the following cidnums are unbranded: HTC__001, HTC__E11, HTC__N34, HTC__203, HTC__102, HTC__K18, HTC__405, HTC__Y13, HTC__A07, HTC__304, HTC__016, HTC__032. I'm not sure whether it is an exclusive list. To find out if an RUU is compatible for your ROM, the value displayed by fastboot oem gencheckpt has to be included in the cidnum list of the RUU. If it isnt included, you will need to use a goldcard to bypass the cidnum checks done by the RUU.
Check if you have made a goldcard (A goldcard is a normal microsd card modified to become special while your device was in working condition. It will allow you to restore your device using a generic RUU or an OTA or allow you to switch between software meant for different regions). The purpose of a goldcard is that when apparently incompatible ROMs are flashed with a goldcard inside the device, the flashing process skips certain checks like the Customer ID check (and hence no CID error). Note however that you cannot ordinarily install software of a lower version just because you have a goldcard. Note also that it is the software version which is important, and not the Bootloader version. Note that if you want to downgrade your software to a lower version, it is easiest to use Teppic74's utility (Link1 or Link2), and downgrade to his version of the RUU (1.21), then upgrade to your version of RUU. If your device is SLCD, always make sure the software you're about to flash does support an SLCD screen. As a general rule of thumb, flashing any version <2.0 may be dangerous. Teppic74 assures us that the version 1.21 his utility comes with, is compatible with SLCDs.

Wow, I would have never guessed this... With fastboot oem gencheckpt I found that the CID is T-MOB101... i.e. my Desire is actually branded! I bought it from mobicity in Australia as an imported unlocked phone and *assumed* that it was unbranded... So it's not surprising that the RUU gave me a customer ID error. (This also explains why the OTA update failed while I was still using this ROM).
What's really weird though is that the version of the ROM that the phone came with was definitely 2.29.405.2 with baseband ROM 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27... I did some googling today, but couldn't actually find a T-Mobile ROM with these version numbers
My guess is that mobicity imported the phone and flashed a stock HTC WWE ROM so they could sell it in Australia...
Any thoughts on this? I'm assuming that means that I do need a goldcard after all to go back to the stock ROM?

Ok, as I couldn't find a T-Mobile ROM with the aforementioned version numbers, I eventually decided to make a goldcard and flash RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe. The whole process worked fine without any error messages and the RUU reported success at the end.
Unfortunately my bootloader still displays the same info as in post 1, i.e. I'm still on HBOOT 0.93.0001. I would have expected this to revert back to 0.93... Did something go wrong with the updating procedure?
The issue is obviously still that the original ROM seemed to be a T-Mobile ROM (in fact I think a German one as fastboot oem gencheckpt reports the carrier as TMD), so I'm not sure if the service point will accept the unbranded WWE ROM I flashed.
The other option might be to flash the official HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade from www.htcdev.com, but I think it's not compatible with T-Mobile Germany Desires... If I could flash this, it would at least be an official release and the service point shouldn't complain. Does anyone know how easy it is to root/S-OFF/install custom recoveries/ROMs afterwards? From what I read, I would need to use revolutionary, right?
Any alternative suggestions would be much appreciate...

Your are totally fine with 2.29 RUU. Hboot would only update if you flash 2.3.3 RUU. Did not read about guys who "bricked" their phone by using 2.3.3 RUU on a desire by T-Mobile.
