I've got amoled Desire. I've read that some old RUUs may brick slcd Desires. My question is: It's safe to flash any last RUU on my Desire (I think so, but I want to be 100% sure)

You're fine with AMOLED but it's pre-FroYo RUUs that were the issue. All FroYo RUUs work on all Desires
Thx

Hello,
I had an hardware problem with my Desire (problem with volume "-" key), so I made an echange.
On the new one, I'm already on orange rom with android 2.2 and hboot 0.93.000001.
Before I were in hboot 0.75, I was sure that I have an Amolex Desire and not an SLCD so it happened that after making him reflash orange rom (but at this moment, I didn't exchange my phone finally), I re downgrade the hboot to re put the 0.75 for re rooting it, because I was sure that it was to 0.75 by the past.
But I read that if I have an SLCD, i've to be careful and I'm afroid of SLCD Brick as described in aanother thread?
Do you advise me to root it with the last version of unrevocked without investigate to know with downgrade to 0.75 and knowing if it's an Amolex version?
Thanks
There is NO need to downgrade.. 0.93 is rootable from unrevoked use 3.21
And I think S-LCD brick is not due to root.. but it is due to wrong RUU flash.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Can Hboot 0.93 be replaced with alpharev Hboots and s-off like the previous Hboots?
Matt
Yes, it can.

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
I understand there are several threads about restoring, but I am wondering about these specific versions and S-ON. Can anyone please advise is it safe to use
PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
to restore to stock? Can I just copy it as PB99IMG.zip on a SD card, hold down and flash via HBOOT?
I am sincerely grateful for any help!
Hello! to revert your phone back to stock you need the RUU, you can grab the HTC desire android 2.3 ruu here:http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Unzip it, run the program, follow the instructions and BANG your s-on no root total stock htc desire
Use the latest 2.2 RUU instead of the 2.3 DEVELOPER RUU, because aside having 127MB internal memory it brings nothing much more.

Pick up a 2.2 RUU, because the 2.3 RUU for Desire is without warranty.
Actually HTC honour warranty on 2.3

Really? Hmm.. I though that not, because HTC said that is only at own risk.
But maybe you´re right
Hi there. Similar - but different - question. Water damage. Phone went to insurers. They fixed it and sent it back 8 weeks ago. I downloaded and installed 2.3 from htcdev. Seemed to work ok for some weeks. Now battery almost useless....it runs out in less than half a day. It was fine before it went. I can't start camera app or camcorderor any camera-dependent apps. I also dont see charging light when phone connected. Question(s) is do you think it's the 2.3 update or is it symptoms of previous damage - water? Should I roll back update or would the insurers accept it with 2.3? If htc accept 2.3 then insurer should too no?
Oh and to roll back to 2.2 can I just flash stock 2.2 WWE? Unlocked unbranded Desire
Charging light work when phone off? If not, hardware

I have tried to run the program and i seems to work untill it's waiting for the bootloader. It keeps saying waiting for bootloader and after a while my phone just reboots and comes with an USB connection error. Can somebody help me ?
Yes, my guide
Hello!
I just recently brought a htc wildfire S. I thought it would be easy to s-off just like my other htc (Desire HD).
But the question is, if the update; updates the HBOOT, can`t we find a matching HBOOT of the Hboot from a other device? Like HBOOT 1.03 and find another device which has the same HBOOT, and use their method to S-OFF?
i think every device has another... (but im not sure!)
Every device, wildfire, wildfire s, desire and not the same hboot, so they are not compatible.

Yes, thats why we want, that devs come and try to unlock bootloader of the wildfire s.
Next time, pls look for the threads they are here in forum. We have enough s-off requests, pls go in the threads
