HELP!
I rooted my phone using unrevoked forever and now that I want it back to stock I'm unable to do so. I have been searching and trying stuff for a week now with no results.
I have a Norwegian (english display language) not locked HTC Desire.
Hboot v: 0.97.0001
I constantly keep getting "wrong bootloader version" (error 140).
I have tried using the method from android modaco com (cannot post link, not allowed )
1 Make sure your goldcard is in your phone (If Required)
2 Turn your Desire on
3 Connect it to a Windows PC
4 Run the HTC RUU
5 Let it run
6 & YOUR DONE!
(without gold card).
I think the problem is that I'm using wrong RUUs, but I cannot seem too find the right one.
Can anyone help me?
PS: If you can supply a step by step guide I would be very grateful. I don't have a lot of experience with this sort of thing.
forgot to mention.
I have s-on
What ROM was on the phone when you first got it?
When I first got the phone was just after release though I don't remember the version. I rooted the phone last week so it hasn't been that long since I last did an update.
Without knowing the version there's no way of knowing what RUU you need. The only thing you can try is:
1. Make a gold card:
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
2. Downgrade to an earlier HBOOT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
3. Flash the latest WWE RUU (2.29.405.5)
http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&so...cZlrId8Dkc9IAPJsg&sig2=QNe-C8tewW0x4cdsO7aCXA
OR
http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&so...IwRiRP-6PYkibAtPA&sig2=OT9aE7a-DDKInlx4lTxTjw
Is there any way to find the version now or am I boned?
There's no way know without having the ROM on the phone
I have only rooted the phone. I have not installed any new ROM though.
Software info:
Android: 2.2
Baseband version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version: 2.6.32.15
Build number: 2.29.405.2
Software number: 2.29.405.2
Ah, OK!! That's alright then!!
Just download the RUU I linked to up there and do the following:
1. Turn off phone
2. Turn it on holding the back button
3. Once at the white screen with FASTBOOT at the top connect to the PC
4. Once it says 'FASTBOOT USB' (and the drivers have installed) run the RUU
5. Allow it to complete
Job done
Great!
Gonna try it as soon as I have the RUU (slow network connection).
Damn, I can only thank you once
Thanks a million!
The one thing I would double-check is the HBOOT version on your phone - you sure it's not 0.93 and not 0.97?
Only reason I ask is that ROM version (both 2.29.405.2 and 2.29.405.5) both have HBOOT 0.93 in them and you can't flash them if yours is higher
It worked !
The HBOOT version was probably just me misremembering.
Thanks so much!
No worries, keep the RUU safe in case you need it again
Hi,sorry to hijack this thread.i need to clear some doubts abt unrooting,almost similar scenerio.
i think my front speakers are dead.from emiui 12.11 to miui-au 12.24 still not able to resolve the issue.thus need to unroot to stock to see whether it is working there or have to send it for warranty.
The phone originally came with:
Android Version
2.2
Baseband version
32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Kernal version
2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0
[email protected]#1
Build number
2.13.707.1 CL233262 release-keys
Software number
2.13.707.1
So my qn is when i see miui-au build no is :MIUI_AU 0.12.24 R2,what's the build no as in 2.xx.xxx??Or miui have their own build?
I have already downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
can i use this?
Another confusion from me is goldcard.My phone is bought from local carrier(Singtel,SG).does that means it is network branded?
Thanks!
If you're using 2.13.707.1 you should be OK to use that RUU without a gold card. Try it and see
so custom roms have no effect on build no.?
is there any diff running the ruu w or w/o goldcard?
oh..so i should follow the instructions on yr post and run the ruu from bootloader?

Hi all, would like to know if, after installing a custom ROM, if i use a RUU will the recovery image be restored to default?
Thanks in advance!
Yes it Will
Yay! thank you! so just using the RUUs i will totally reset my desire, so HTC won't be able to tell if it's been rooted before?
Don't know whether they can't tell, whether they look if they've no need to I don't know...so long as it's on a stock ROM I don't think they'd check

What is a RUU and how can I do it, as I'm having the same problem.
I rooted to allow Titanium Backup to have root after using unrevoked but wasn’t aware that meant I also had a custom rom installed now.
I’ve been told I need to RUU as well.
RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility
It's the official way of flashing a ROM. Each phone has a software version running on it when you first get it and you should make a note of the one on yours before doing anything root-related for the very reason that if something goes wrong you can revert back to stock. Not all versions are available, e.g. there are no Orange RUUs about, but the ones that are can be found here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
If you didn't happen to make a note of yours then it's hard to say what it came with. If you've only rooted and NOT flashed a new ROM yet then if you go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version we might be able to help
Thanks for all the information it helps fill in some blanks.
I dont think I have put a different rom on it, I only rooted using revoked- does that mean it has a different rom now?
and my settings show
Android 2.2
Baseband version 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2

Software number 2.12.110.2
on a side note the link you posted - what do the numbers correspond to, my Kernel or build
Right you're on a T-Mobile FroYo ROM but the issue is there isn't that versions RUU available...how long have you had your Desire?
Damm.
I got mine in April this year, why do you ask.
Can I not use RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_AT_2.12.112.1_Radio_32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe?
You CAN use that but it's the Austrian one...the reason I ask is to find out the screen type, you should be on an AMOLED screen so you can flash the older 1.21.110.4 RUU if you need to - you'll need a gold card to do it, though, I believe
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
If I do flash the older 1.21.110.4 version, are there any drawbacks, or will I just be able to update through OTA updates that will then be available to me through T-mobile to get me back to normal?
Also is there a best way to do this RUU as I have seen a few guides, can you recommend any to follow.
The way I'd do it is:
1. Download that RUU
2. Have gold card in your phone and HTC Sync installed on your PC
3. Connect phone to PC and select 'HTC Sync' from the options on the phone
4. Once HTC Sync on the PC shows connected, run the RUU
5. All being correct it'll flash the ROM
6. Assuming it's worked, you should get the OTA updates again as you did before
Replying on here and androidforums is getting confusing!!!
Thanks for all the help and I hope those instructions were meant for me and not some one else
Maybe you have to downgrade your hboot to 0.75.

Nope thats not me
I followed all the procedures. But the RUU gave me an error after a few minutes saying 'Error 140 Bootloader version error'.
What does that mean and how can I fix it.
Which RUU are you trying to use? And which HBOOT are you on now?
Im trying to use the one you recommended above RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe

Try the tool again. But as mariosraptor said, you should not run it on custom roms (custom kernel).
I try again but it's same thing
And now the screnn of my DHD is white with this message "Sudden closure of the application HTC sense"
Yep, that is normal, you should have read the thread more carefully. I posted a new version of the tool, which checks a bit more stuff. You should try it. If it gives the same result, you will have to revert to older, stock rom and then run the tool. After you run 0.4 version of the tool, you can reboot.
I try the new tool but it stop with the message "do you have root" and i didn' have message on my DHD.
How to revert to older rom ?
Okay, restore a nandroid backup or use HTC RUU.

Build Number: 1.32.707.5 CL277010 release-keys
Software Number: 1.32.707.5
Browser version: Webkit 3.1
On the same PC, I ran again, without the "I have radio S-off" box checked, it says "Do you have root?". I ran a gain with the box checked and it says it failed to make changes to bootloader. I unroot (don't know why I did that) with Visionary, it rebooted ok. I rooted it again already. . But a little bit afraid now, cos' I had no experience in rom flashing.
Edit:
Oh my love, I ran it AGAIN, and this time without the box checked. And it said "All DONE".
Same problem as xthierry "bootloader is corrupt, do not reboot. Contact XDA for help"
I used this guide to downgrade from 1.72 to 1.32 software version, then used this guide for trying to flash a custom rom. Radio S-OFF, Super CID from Easy Radio tool v2.2 went just fine. Then started Easy S-OFF_5 and checked option I have Radio S-OFF and pressed S-OFF it! button. This time no acces was required on my phone, and the message "bootloader is corrupt, do not reboot. Contact XDA for help" appeared. I tried again to press S-OFF it! and it said "Error: Connection problem!".
This is most similar post I could find and someone said to run Easy S-OFF v4 but I only can find v5 on site. And I didn't understand exactly what tools should I use in order to restore bootloader to solve the problem in case of broken bootloader.
Thank you very much, you're doing a great job within this community!
Problem solved, I remade the downgrade and I haven't tried again to install Easy S-OFF, cause I don't need to flash any radio, I just wanted to unlock SIM
Glad to see your DHD not bricked
Bootloader Corrupt error
Hi,
I have a HTC Desire HD running Android 2.2 [Build #: 1.32 Software: 1.32] - completely stock out of the box with standard vodafone (australia) rom still installed.
i have run through the steps outlined here
i have rooted using VISIONary and performed the RADIO S-OFF, Super-CID and Sim Unlock section without issue.
When i attempt to run "Desire HD easy s-off.exe" [EasyS-OFF_05] with "i have RADIO S-OFF" box checked, i receive the message "bootloader corrupt, DO NOT REBOOT! Seek help from XDA!" about half way through.
i have attempted running it again and receive "connection error" (with and without the "i have RADIO S-OFF" box selected).
i have downloaded EasyS-OFF_04 and run this but i still receive connection error. USB is definately conneted in charge only and USB debugging is enabled.
i have not yet rebooted the phone as i am not sure if it is safe to do so. any help would be much appreciated. I have not flashed the radio or ROM as i have seen other threads advising that you must have eng S-OFF before flashing the ROM - is this accurate?
i have seen HTC RUU mentioned but im not entirely sure what this is and whether is pertains to my situation.
Again any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
EDIT: formatted the SD card then rebooted phone ok - continued with rom flashing guide in above link. all is working well.

To check if your phone is branded:
Get android system info from market. Start it>system>build infos>brand.
Yes, you can go back to original rom. Just flash latest fitting ruu. You need a goldcard to avoid cid error when flashing ruu.

Hi. Follow these steps and you will be back stock and no S-OFF or ROOT.
First of all get the latest RUU WWE 2.29.405.5. Extract the PB99IMG.zip file from the RUU: here it is how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 -2nd post.
Also make sure you don't have a custom HBOOT (in bootloader the version of HBOOT should look like this if it is custom: 6.93.0001 and at the top should write Alpharev and something else) or you will need first to flash the HBOOT downgrader prior to running the RUU.
You will need to a Gold Card if your phone was branded.
1. Extract the PB99IMG.zip and put it on root of SD Card.
2. Reboot in bootloader (Volume-Down + Power)
3. It will automatically load the img and ask you if you want to install
4. Check Yes and follow onscreen progress.
5. Wait untill it finnishes
6. I think it will reboot itself, if not scroll down to the Reboot obtion and press Power button to select.
Follow this guide for Gold Card:

Old said:
4. Do I need a Goldcard?
If you have a recent version of the RUU for your Device, available on Shipped Roms, you dont need a goldcard. This is the usual scenario for people who purchased their Desire in Europe, and so have an unbranded Desire. All Branded Desires need a correct branded version of the RUU, and any other RUU including WWE (Worldwide English, or European) RUU will not work for them. Also if an unbranded Desire user wishes to change RUU to a branded version, he will need a Goldcard. This is because all Desires have a particular software tag in the Rom, called the InfoCID. This dictates the Region code. For Eg. An Indian Desire is branded and has InfoCID of HTC__038. When you change a RUU to different region, what you actually do is reset the InfoCID setting. Changing the InfoCID setting requires a Goldcard.
5. What is a Goldcard?
It is a normal MicroUSB card specially prepared in such a way that its Sector 0 (which normally doesnt hold anything useful) is modified, so that it signals to the HTC RUU that the InfoCID may be changed.
6. How do I create a Goldcard?
Just download this tool (Credits and All Rights by [email protected]), and run it.
7. Can you tell me more about Goldcards?
Sure. I've already posted it for you. Read the FAQs in this thread.

Thnx mate, really helped
Firstly I apologise for such a noob question, but I'm not an expert with HTC's as I usually deal with iPhones.
Anyway, I have a HTC Desire Bravo with the following specs:
Android version: 2.2

Kernel Version: 2.6.34.5-cyanogenmod
Mod version: CyanogenMod-6.0.2-Desire
Build number: FRF91
It's an Orange UK branded phone, and I'm trying to put it back to a stock ROM. I've identified that RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe is the stock ROM I need to install, but how the heck do I do it?
I'm sorry it's such a noob question, but I've sold the phone and need to unlock it and put it back to the factory state.
You can't restore any ROMs, you must flash a new one.
Official untouched HTC Desire RUU ROM update (version 2.2). Not rooted, and contain radio and hboot rom update.

I tried to run the .exe file and encountered Error 131 which is basically saying the version I'm trying to update to is not compatible with my device.
I've read something about gold cards being needed for branded devices, and as mine is an Orange UK, is this something I need to do?
Again sorry for the noob questions, I'm completely out of my depth here
Error 131 is the customer id error. This means, your phone was branded. Now you have to options:
- create goldcard (it avoids cid error), put this in your desire and flash newest ruu again
- flash the ruu from your provider (which was your provider?)
