So US Cellular still does not have a RUU for the BravoC (CDMA SLCD) Deisre. I have two identical phones - one stock that works fine so I could create a goldcard from it. The other is rebooting with the motherboard issue HTC has and of course, is rooted and S-OFF. Can I unroot and set S-ON on the broken phone with just a goldcard and no official RUU? I believe the Altell RUU is also for the CDMA SLCD Desire - would that work with the goldcard and get me back to stock?
No, you need the RUU

Hi all, so the US Cellular RUU is out and that is cool. I have a broken Desire that I would like to get fixed under warranty. I flashed the RUU and it un-rooted my phone but the bootloader still shows that the security flag is off (S-OFF). Is there a way to set S-ON? I rooted and set S-OFF via unrevoked. On their page is has said that S-ON is coming soon - but it has said that for a long time. I also have another working Desire so I can get anything off of that if needed.
Thanks,
Pete
I am technically inclined so I will try pretty much anything to get this thing setup with the security flag on again.
A way to contact the unrevoked team?
Anyone know how to contact team unrevoked? I am just wondering how soon the 'coming soon' is for S-ON for the CDMA Deisre. Thanks in advance..
I just attempted to set s-on for my CDMA Desire with the unrevoked-forever-son.zip. It errored out with an incorrect radio message. Is there a way to set s-on for my BravoC Desire? Wondering if there is a radio I can use?
Don't think you can get S-ON again at the moment, you can go back to stock ROM-wise with the new RUU

This is exactly correct - I flashed the Alltel RUU that downgraded my radio to a version that unrevoked-forever-son.zip is compatible with. I attempted to run the update from within recovery and it gracefully told me my device was not supported. So I am on to waiting for unrevoked to add s-on support for the CDMA Desire.
I'm waiting for S-ON too. S-OFF broke my MMS (maybe s-on will fix it) but I need to take it back to bluegrass.
I need to send my phone back for warranty but I'm having trouble returning to stock.
I had a branded T-Mobile UK desire, I rooted it and it was running Redux v 1.1.1, alpharev s-off and amon recovery.
I have not created any goldcard and am unsure if this is necessary as some guides say so and others say just to flash the provider RUU.
I tried to run the tmobile uk ruus from here (both RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.15.110.11_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122755.exe and
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe) but I got "Error 140 bootloader version" after it runs - it also asks if I want to update the ROM version from 2.10.405.2 to 1.15.110.11 (I'm not sure if this is a problem and I need to downgrade?)
I then reflashed redux as it wasn't booting, I now notice that bootloader is showing:
Bravo Unknown ship s-on (though I still have alsharev s-off splashscreen)
hboot 0.75
Radio-4.05.00.11
Can someone advise me on how to return to stock from here please?
If you're now on that bootloader you should be able to run the RUU again and it might take. Use the 1.21 one - but bare in mind unless you have an AMOLED screen it will leave you with a black screen as the ROM doesn't support SLCD screens
Thanks,
I'm pretty sure my phone is not AMOLED (Can't see any sign of it on the box), is there a RUU I should run instead or any way of restoring functionality if I try this and the screen does go black?
EDIT: I tried to run the RUU and came up with the same error? Any advice?
I believe you get that error when hboot in ruu is older than the one you currently have. Check if there is a newer ruu.
If you are still s-off hboot couldn't have been reflashed. Weird...
Is it definitely a branded one? Try running them RUU's again.
Thanks, I think it's s-on, but for some reason the splash screen has stayed. I've downloaded the RUUs (for T-Mobile) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
It's definitely branded (or at least it used to be). I did use this unlocker tool as well, I'm not sure if that will have de-branded it stopping me from using the tmobile uk ruu (in which case do you know is there any way to rebrand before sending back for warranty?)
I think I might try to run a WWE RUU (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed)
You'd need a gold card to use the stock WWE RUU
If you're on HBOOT 0.75 that's the very first HBOOT version, any ROM newer than that will work as the bootloader will be newer. No idea why it's not working but it's the issue with having a phone that doesn't have a modern RUU available for it
I haven't got a clue! I've created a goldcard using goldcard tool 0.0.5 which said I have successfully created one. I have a partition on the card, but as far as I can tell that shouldn't be a problem.
The WWE RUU won't run (error 170 - usb connection error) and when I put the PB99IMG.zip from the Tmobile RUU on the sd root (goldcard) and run bootloader, it doesn't detect it.
If I try to run the TMobile RUU it gets so far and then gives the error 140 bootloader version.
If anyone can suggest anything to try I'd really appreciate it as I'm getting nowhere!
Ok, I managed to get the WWE RUU to work by putting the PB99IMG.zip on the goldcard.
I guess that will have to do when sending back for warranty.
Thanks for the help in any case. If anyone knows why I wasn't able to run the TMobile RUU please let me know.
Hi, apologies for creating another thread for something that is probably very simple, but the information I’ve found can be conflicting sometimes
I've a rooted HTC Desire with a (very old) LeeDroid ROM installed.
Phone is going, so I want to revert back to the office UK T-Mobile ROM.
Current configuration:
Bravo PVT1 S-ON
HBOOT - 0.80.0000
Radio - 5.09.05.30_2
Clockwork Recovery v 2.5.0.7
I've never messed about with S-OFF or anything?
Is it simply a case of getting the correct RUU (which I think I have, RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed) and running it?
I realise that this is probably a stupid question, but any assistance would be appreciated?
Thanks
Put the 2.2 one on, not the 2.1
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe
Or better yet put the unbranded 2.3.3 from htcdev.com.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you need to install a rom with sense, plug USB in HTC Sync mode and then run the RUU.
Then the official RUU should take care of everything (boot, radio).
But again, never done myself.
Thanks guys, installing the official RUU from the website worked perfectly
Thanks for the advice
Hello,
i hope i'm in the right section now.
I need to send my T-Mobile branded DHD to htc for a warranty repair and i need to revert to stock.
I have a couple of questions about that:
1) If i just run a RUU i will still be S-OFF, so what do i have to do before i run the RUU? Something special to do because ENG S-OFF?
2) What about SuperCID? I think i needed to change it during S-OFF Process (i don't remember, sorry)
3) What RUU can i use? I already reverted my HTC Flyer and there i needed the exact RUU which it was delivered with (i think because of the HBOOT version of GB / HC). As i don't know what the delivery Software version was (buyed it when it just came out) i don't know which RUU i need.
Thanks for help!
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_d...nd_auslieferungszustand_wiederherstellen.html There is all you need (assuming that you are German).
I used the above posted manual and had no warranty problems!
Good Luck
Thanks, then i'll try it.
What is RUU?
I have a unlocked Inspire 4G(att, bought it rooted of ebay) but does the tutorital from that website work for me too?
Gents,
I've done some searching, but I'm still a bit confused. I've got a TELUS HTC Desire which I want to load a custom ROM on. I've successfully rooted the device with unrevoked3 and have CWM as a custom recovery, but I can't find a way to S-OFF the system.
The HBOOT is 0.93.0001, which isn't supported by revolutionary, as it's a CDMA device. revolutionary says it needs 1.06.0000 for an HBOOT to S-OFF CDMA Desires.
I found one thread that suggested using the official HTCDev Gingerbread RUU to upgrade the HBOOT to 1.06.0000, however, I can't find a Desire 2.3 RUU on the site; it's all Desire S and Desire HD images for 2.3.
So three questions:
1) Root via unrevoked3 isn't sufficient to load a custom ROM correct? I'm looking at sandvold's ICS ROM right now...
2) If I unlock the bootloader via HTCDev, is that sufficient to allow me to flash custom ROMs?
3) Is there some other way to gain S-OFF for this particular device?

Now I'm feeling like I might be stupid... TELUS said this was a CDMA device, but it's got a SIM card, and I'm seeing (in an unrelated search) that if the HBOOT says 'BRAVO' it's GSM, and 'BRAVO C' is actually CDMA...
Anyone confirm?
according to your hboot screen provided this is GSM device
1> You should be gain root via unrevoked if you are on 2.2 android... some problems been reported not working with 2.2.2
2> Yes you will be able to flash custom recovery but you will be locked on stock hboot(250-40-147) and unable to update radio
3> to gain s-off use revolutionary
If you use revolutionary.io you don't need to use either 1 or 2
yes bravo gsm and bravo c cdma. revolutionary does work with hboot 0.93xxxxx and 1.xxxx cant remember what the numbers are lol. just pick ur device bravo (gsm) in the drop down menu then pick hboot 0.9.xxxxx the type in ur s/n and generate beta key

Thanks guys, got it working with Revolutionary 0.4.
One note, you have to use the 3.0.0.007 HTC driver package linked in their documentation. If you use the latest HTC Sync drivers, it won't get root.

I also have a Telus Desire, yes it is most definately gsm.
Telus and Bell jointly launched their hspa networks together (they actually share the same network) in November 05, 2009. Both networks have NOT launched cdma devices since. Both networks also run iden networks, and lte (4 different networks). CDMA devices were pulled from stock late 2011 and are no longer being sold, even though, rumours aside both carriers do not have official plans to shutdown their cdma networks.
Sorry for the Clif Claven post, but the Telus Desire and Desire HD, and Bell Desire Z etc are all gsm phones as are any phones launched on either carrier since November, 2009.
Edit: When both carriers launched the hspa network, Rogers made a big deal of advertising that Bell and Telus were not going to be, or ever would be "gsm carriers" as their networks were hspa only (no edge to fall back on). Niether Bell nor Telus were "legacy" gsm carriers. Thought I would post that before someone else came up with a correction. Anyways, just a matter of terminology like the 3G+ / 4G debate. If its got a sim card, it is gsm....stand alone cdma phones never have sim cards. Belive it or not, when Rogers and others were storming up the debate there was alot of "but will the new hspa phones have sim cards?" threads on various Canadian forums with alot of cdma haters saying "no because hspa is not gsm!" I am glad those days are behind us and those guys were proven to be idiots!
