hay, just got my desire back from repair from htc and it came back running the orange 2.2 rom so i rooted it using unrevoked method and now have a rooted orange 2.2 rom which i backup using clockwork. I was wondering if anyone wants this backup so they can extract the orange rom because i know people are always looking for it. Their is 1 thing though, after i backed up my phone went into boot loop. so if you want it let me know and ill upload it or send it to you.
Yes please.
Yes please i need it too, who know when our phone get bricked, Orange rom for back up..
would be greatly appreciated!
Ok guys uploading it to megaupload then will post the links.
just tried it and their was no boot loop so all you have to do is install it then remove root
Id be interested to hear how you intend to remove root & clockworkmod to get it back to factory stock?

I've uploaded my Orange NAND (Build 2.17.61.2) & the most recent OTA update to my dropbox.
Links below...

feel free to pick them up....
Was having probs with megaupload and uploaded it to my dropbox but seams you have beat me to it.
Dont know how to remove them or exctract the rom or anything like that thats why i left it up to the developers to try.
I think getting rid of the superuser app is easy enough.
The problem is the recovery.
I've read elsewhere that an unrooted phone is required which can have a temp root applied to it. Then the recovery and other things can be extracted.

Thought I had read something like that aswell. Their must be some way of taking it off. Maybe I should try and research it some more and see what I can find

Couldn't someone save the OTA update, then I flash it to my phone?
No, as you need to be on an Orange ROM to get it. You're going to have to wait and hope the Orange 2.2 RUU is leaked...

If you have the stock ROM. Orange UK RUUs have never been leaked so until they are there's no way of doing so
I'm not sure they're that savvy on checking. I sent my black (you can only get them from Orange) Desire back to Orange after it started overheating; I'd debranded it and put 2.2 on (before it was out here). I just described my overheating problem and the guy sent me another one, next day couriered, no eyebrows raised.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
But that shouldn't be accepted as the norm as technically you've invalidated the warranty. They should've told you where to go in all honesty
Indeed, just thought I'd share. I took the gamble they'd have heard the problem before and just shoot me another one. I believe you get refurb though (this one was immaculate). I didn't want to wait for HTC to fix it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It's very likely that if you kicked up a fuss you would have your warranty honoured on a debranded phone, since it's unmodified official software. It's a good idea to get an email from your network confirming that they will honour the warranty before you debrand, or you might be better off sending it to HTC directly for a repair.
At the end of the day if Orange piss me off over something so trivial then they will lose a cunstomer.. I know that, they know that... that's why we all get along
If someone has a nandroid backup of a rooted 2.1 orange uk stock can you upload it for us.
You might want to flash it and clear data to get rid of any personal data then make a new nand backup that is safe to share.
If you are kind enough to do so we can update ota to stock 2.2 for warranty purposes if we flash this...I think.
I agree with mercinary if someone could do that it'd be great.

Just upload the nand backup on multiupload and we will sort out the rest.
Don't forget to reset it to factory settings before uploading.
Just do this
Nand backup your current rom.
Restore stock backup.
Clear data/factory reset. Do this to clear your private data.
Nand backup this new clean rom.
Zip it all up and upload it to multiupload (you don't need to register with this site.
Copy the link multiuplad gives you and post it here.
Restore the nand backup you made of your current rom.
Receive many thanks from many happy people.
Thanks
yes many thanks
Right I'll do that now for you guys.
Here it is http://www.multiupload.com/ATSGUBVLQY
It does have the older software version though (1.15.61.10). So you will need to wait for HTC to release the newer version (1.22.61.1). Anyways I hope this works for you. Tell me if it does
Has no one tried this yet? D:
Trying now. Will let you know when I'm successfull
Hi peeps, been looking around this awesome forum for a couple days and sort of figured it out but I have a couple if questions and thought I would ask first. Well root with revoked unless slcd, is that right? How do I find out what i have?. How to back up my important stuff, is there an all in one or a particular set of actions?. And which rom I want, was looking to get the desire hd rom but does everything work ok? And what's with the radio version?. Sorry for the noobie post but there is that much into coming out of that search bar it's a little overwhelming. Thanx for any help in advance.

You can use unrEVOked to root any Desire, regardless of screen. You can't backup completely until rooted, but once done you can do a Nandroid backup which basically creates a shot of your phone at that point so you can return to it - kinda like System Restore in Windows.
The radio is the equivalent of drivers - it allows Android to talk to the hardware. Always use the recommended radio in a ROM thread until you know what you're doing
However, before doing ANY of that, do the following:
1. Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and take note of the software version
2. Go here and see if there is a file matching your version. If there is, download it and keep it safe as if you ever need to go back to stock you'll need to use it.

download rom manager, or just search for recovery image in the devlopment thread.
cheers!
oh and there will be an option for you in the recovery menu to make a backup, so dont worry, just remember to always nandroid backup before installing a new rom/kernel etc!
Hi, got the image but revoked is missing a driver, tried looking for it which resulted in me downloading the sdk but revoked doesn't seem to see the driver it wants. Do you know which one it's after? Or where I might get it?

Wehey, i have a rooted Desire.Thanks for your help and patience with such noobie questions.
Anyone have a Nandroid backup from an orange branded phone? Need these as part of the process for returning phone to shipped state.
Dummy here didnt do such a backup prior to rooting/downgrading and installing custom roms.
Cheers
You can only do nandroids when you have root so for warranty purposes they have no use, you will remain rooted. You need to run a RUU to get back to stock. Not any RUU will work, you have to find the right one for your device. Did you wright down the software information before rooting?
Close but no cigar ...
Because if one shells (via adb) and removes the apk and busybox, then apply OTA Orange updates .. the phone is restored to Vanilla Orange.
I first, however, require the nandroid backup with which to initiate the process.
Anyone got a nandroid backup please?
Does anyone has an update to this topic?
I'm stuck in the same situation. I have an Froyo OTA Update for Orange branded desire. The only thing whats missing is the nandroid backup of an eclair rom in version 1.19.72.3.

Hi,

Build 2.17.61.2
please bear in mind, this is hosted from my NAS so the download will be slow if you use it.
Let me know how you get on.

Sorry, should've added. its for an SLCD on Froyo.
Mike
Nice1 Mike.
Could you poss get some uptime for your NAS around 7pm tonight? I'll be travelling home to blackpool from london. Should be in at 7 and will d/l and report back.
If all goes well, I will create - using my wintel & visual studio skills - an RUU from the nand and hand back the RUU to you for onward comms - and storage on your NAS of course

Subsequent to that I hope to complete my app that converts NAND to an update.zip and also create the RUU.EXE file.
Daz
Ill get it done tomorrow and post on here.
I think I need to restore it and strip out all my personal stuff and any 'extras' and take another nand.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Daz,
right, my NAS is on and you can download an Orange nand from it - "OrangeCLEAN-2011-01-04.00.26.06".
This should be the standard Orange rom with nothing else added apart from root..
you can get it from http://91.110.72.166/nand/
Let me know how you get on...
Nope.
Just tried now - cannot access your NAS.
Erm, just thought, this NAND backup cannot be an original Orange ROM backup because, access to NAND backup can only be achieved after rooting the phone and installing an alternative loader.
Therefore, the filesystem data/partitions must surely be modified and thus not stock Orange filesystem/partitions. Its logical?
yes, you are correct. it is original bar root/clockworkmod.

The OTA is corrupted.
Inside, the firmware ZIP is no good.
I'll see if there is another OTA.
Is your NAND from a 2.1 or 2.2 Android OS?
EDIT: Just seen your earlier post about it being SLCD from Froyo - so thats 2.2

Hi all
I am trying to debrand my T-mobile desire. I have rooted my phone and removed the security lock. I have also created a gold card and inserted it into the phone.
However when i run the stock HTC RUU it reboots the phone into the boot loader and then gives me an error saying it cant update the rom.
This is now deiving me crazy. As i am a complete noob at flashing android phones.
Any help will greatly appreciated. As i feel it is something i am doing wrong.
Thanks
Jonathan
If you have rooted your phone you don't really need the gold card, as that was a method used to debrand a phone without having to root.
Which method did you use to root your phone?

Not entirely true. I rooted my Desire first then used an ruu but I have to use a goldcard to do it.
To be honest, you don't really need to debrand your phone. Just whack a rom on it.
Sent from CM7
Yeah I know I can put another Rom on . But at the moment I just want to try the stock HTC Rom.
Make sure you use a pre rooted rom otherwise you could find yourself losing root, could be a bit of a problem too with htc locking down thier phones.
I am not too bothered if it does remove root.
I assume it can be re rooted .
I know there were reported problems over on the android forums from some people losing root & not being able to root again.
Not sure if that was sorted out, could be a good idea to ask around some more to be certain.
You sure the ruu is a complete dl? Have to download multiple times off shipped roms, first few tries are always partials.

Still I am fine with that just need to get the T-Mobile sh*t.off the the phone. As they think it exceptable not to realise Rom updates . When HTC clearly think it is needed.

am I right in thinking that I should be downloading the WWE Rom for the UK?
I have a Telus Desire HD and I managed to downgrade then root and Radio s-off,then installed Revolution HD 5.2.3 and everything is great.
However now i am selling it and the person that wants it says he wants it stock with no root or custom anything.
Honestly I don't know how to go about it to do this and that is why I need some help from someone that has more experience and knowledge than me.
Thanks in advance and if i left out any important info about my phone let me know and i will include it.
You should have made a backup of your stock rom .
if you did flash it though recovery. It will lose root. Still be s-off but they wont know ha.
failing that you need an official ruu. This is an .exe file used. With a windows pc. You will find these in the dev forum or the htc website. Ruu will.remove s-off radio-off and the eng hboot.
if you dort have a pc or cant connect your dhd to it. Flash a stock (but custom) ·rom and tell them its done.
.if they dont mod phones they wont know the difference.

Before I rooted and installed custom rom the phone had the Telus logo when it booted but now its gone since I rooted and flashed the custom rom.
I managed to download to RUU's...

So after reading this what is your recommendation?Do i still need the gold card to flash the stock rom?
Thanks for the help bud!
Personally i would go for the first one you listed. Connect your phone to htc.sync and double click the ruu. It should run the update and return your phone to stock. No goldcard or special method needed. Let me know if it goes well?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Oh man I think something is wrong....I fired up the first RUU and went trough all the instructions and hit update and it rebooted the phone to the black screen with the htc logo and its been sitting there for like over 30 min.What should I do,should I disconnect and try again or what.
I am so scared that this damn phone is bricked,please help!!
Edit:
Wow I almost got a heart attack and thought it bricked but was relieved when it booted up again.
But now I am scared to attempt this again and I don't know what went wrong.
Did it flash the RUU? or are you still rooted?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
No,unfortunately it did not flash cause it got stuck at the black HTC screen and then I disconected the cable rebooted the phone.
And now I am totally scared to even make a second attempt but eventualy I will have to.What is the chance of bricking the phone while running th RUU?
I have never heard of it happening before but I don't want you to be the first.
I don't understand why it didn't flash. If Ruu are not compatible it won't try to flash them. Usually.
I know its not morally right. But could you flash a stock rom via recovery then remove the superuser app. Giving the impression of being stock. Will be safer for you.

Anyway I spoke to the guy that wants to buy my phone and he is basicaly now saying that he wont mind having the phone rooted but he would like to have a stock rom on it.
I tried to tell him that the current rom that I have on (Revolution HD 5.2.4) is way better than stock but he is not listening to me.
There are stock roms in the dev section. Ill grab a link for you if I have time. Bit busy at the monent sorry.
Idont think you can brick with an ruu but I'm not 100 percent. Id go with the stock rom through recovery.

Its a standard zip to flash through recovery. Its rooted but as the person buying the phone said they want stock. This is the closest you will get without an RUU. Glad to be able to help.

Not sure why the ruu failed. But if you want to give an alternative a try is run the ruu for the first two steps, right before it begins flashing. Go into your temp folder. You'll see a folder named bunch of gibberish. In there look for rom.zip. copy it and rename it PD98IMG. Place in the root of your SD card and flash through hboot
So I am on Windows 7 and where is this temp folder located specifically?
Could it be possible that the RUU failure is caused by win7?
Sent from my Desire HD
In the start menu search %temp%.
Not sure. Could be maybe a driver issue? Did you have USB debugging on? Maybe a bad download?
I've ran ruus on windows 7. So I doubt its the os
I think I did have usb debuging on....you think tat could be the problem?
And thanks for the search tip I managed to find the folder.
I will give this a shot in the morning with a nice cup of coffee .
Sent from my Desire HD
ive always have mine to have usb debugging on when connected to a pc, but not positive that it is required for the ruu. Ive only ran an RUU a couple of times.
Also do you have HTC Sync installed? if not install it and try RUU again. Personally i prefer the PD98IMG method though. keep us posted
I do have HTC synch installed so I think that can't be the problem.
I'll try the RUU method one more time and if it fails then I will try your method.
Thank's for your kind help sir.
Sent from my Desire HD
ok. let me know if it works. maybe try the other ruu this time. first one you tried must be wrong. good luck
