Hi there,
I am selling my rooted Desire that has been running a Lee Droid rom since I bought it.
I want to get it back to factory state, original ROM etc. Any advice?
Go here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo and download the Vodaphone stock RUU and flash it from you computer.

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 all,
I have bought unbraded unlocked HTC Desire and it came with Android 2.1.
I then upgraded to Android 2.2 using the original firmware with OTA method, then, rooted the phone using unrevoked3 1 click software, everything works fine and the phone is rooted with bootloader version 0.93.
Problem is that I need to send back my phone and have to unroot my phone back to original factory firmware, I tried the RUU method and I am getting Error [140] during the flashing process, I thought that my phone was gone *gulp*, rebooted it and it loaded as if nothing happend.
Please help as I really really need to get it back to the UNROOTED factory firmware state.
Thanks!
check the desire dev forum, there's a complete guide to rooting and unrooting there
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?
My friend has installed a custom ROM on his HTC Desire. It is not working properly so is there any way he can revert back to the original HTC Desire firmware?
I have looked online and cannot find it for him. I use an SGS with the original Samsung firmware (not the one from my provider) from Sam Firmware, which is what made my friend mess with his.
Ask your friend to install this ROM. Its original stock firmware.

or look for the right RUU update, to get the device completely back to stock (unrooted)
be careful to use the right file though
Hi Guys,
I am planning to root my Desire HD (Vodafone Branded) to use Android Revolution ROM and it turns out that when rooting I'm going to require an additional step as I need to create a GoldCARD to unlock my phone and enable it to see/use other ROM's
My question is, is it possible to rollback to original condition all of the below:
custom ROM installed
updated radio version
GoldCARD changes that it makes to my phone
Considering I want to get out of my contract with Vodafone I am considering in returning the phone in a few weeks and the last thing I want is to not being able to return my phone back to original condition with them refusing to take it back
Your thoughts guys?

Questions go in the Q&A Section.
the goldcard doesn't actually make any changes to your phone, it just allows you to flash a different Rom when you have the Vodafone branded stock Rom on your phone.
If you want to return your phone to its original condition (turning radio s-on and removing root) you can either flash the stock Rom on your phone again and repeat the rooting procedure, turning everything you turned off back on or you could do, in my opinion, the easier method which is to just run the official ruu.exe on your computer with your phone plugged in. it returns the phone to stock look. Vodafone do this anyway with their own branded software, and they generally only check if your phone has the stock look, so it can be generally any stock ruu.exe

i've bookmarked this very useful post for future reference in case i need it:
To unroot and get your phone completely back to stock:
1: Install 1.32.405.6 RUU
2: Use Visionary+ R14 to temproot, then permroot
3: Reboot
4: Use Jkoljo's Easy Radio Tool to set S-On and set the CID to the default HTC__001 (Unless your phone came carrier branded in which case the CID will be different)
5: Reboot
6: Reflash the RUU
7: Update to the latest software normally through software updates
