flash a original rom..i think it delete the unrevoked recovery
with kind regards..Alex
i have a similar predicament.
what steps are involved to flash an original rom?
does this mean putting the original PB31IMG.zip on the sd card and restarting? i've looked around quite a bit but can't find explicit steps/directions invovled.
No get hold of an RUU from your carrier or HTC and run that, it replaces your rom, radio, and recovery.
find and locate the desired rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
run the exe on computer and follow the steps .
job done
Thanks Ajthescot
From that list, which one is for the HTC/VZN Incredible?
I assume the first one under the CDMA section is ok? (RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_1.12.605.1_R_release_sign ed_with_driver.exe)
Also, I just found this before I saw your reply:
mydroidworld.com/forums/incredible-how-tos/4370-how-downgrade-back-1-00-radio-77-hboot-ota-s-off-only.html
Does that work too?
Correction - the software info screen on the phone says software number 1.22.605.2 so presumably I need to find an ruu exe for that one instead?
If your screen is SLCD you can't rebrand, it will break the screen.
thanks - not sure what that means to be honest. i guess the lesson is that i should not play with settings if i don't understand them. all i am trying to do is remove unrevoked3, which is the only thing i did to the phone.
can't seem to find straightforward directions (without abbreviations or special terms).
Hi I have 1 question,my speaker(loud speaker) on desire is dead!so I must go to official service,but there is the problem-previously I unroot my phone with unrevoked 3 and get custom gefrost rom!can you help me to get my phone in factory stock settings?my phone is from T-Mobile Montenegro,I didn't do backup and I dont know which of this rom is my official!?
HBOOT is 0.75 ,Bravo unknown ship s-on,and I put last radio 5.09.00.08

those files i linked were for desire not incredible
For what it's worth, I recently sold my desire and needed to do the same. I tried putting an original rom on from an exe and it failed. In the end I used the pb99img from the hboot downgrade thread, put it on the root of the memory card and did it that way which worked

I bought desire and it came rooted with LeeDroid v1.9 .. meaning it already had the 2.2 update installed.
My problem? I want to reflash it to stock rom, the 2.1 eclair. How should i go about without demaging my phone? Dont ask me why I want to do that.
PS: This is my first android phone. Any help and pointers in this regard would be appreciated.
Do you know whether it was a branded phone before being rooted/flashed?
You don't want to go to 2.1, get the stock 2.2 and flash that

i dont know if it was branded or not. where to get the stock 2.2 ? and how to flash?
i am an android newbie, so all this flashing and rooting is french too me
sorry for being naive.
In terms of getting the ROM, click on the version number on my signature (if it asks for a username/password both are shipped - there's also the chance the link is down. If it is, try again later). That is the full ROM.
To flash the ROM, connect your Desire to your PC and make sure you're connected in HTC Sync. Then just run the RUU file! If your phone was previously branded the CID check wil fail and the update won't complete. No biggie, it just means you have to make a gold card to flash it - search 'make gold card desire' on here and you should find a decent guide (I'd say use THIS one)
If it does complete, then you have a genuine unbranded Desire and you can enjoy the 2.2 goodness!!
thanks .. will report back if the need may arise
tnx ... everything worked like a charm
No gold card needed? Nice!
Enjoy your phone
naaa .. no gold card needed .
saved me a lot of trouble.
Hi guys, got my Orange-branded uk desire a couple of days ago and have been reading up on rooting etc ever since.
In homage to my username, i'm following this to remove the carrier software:
(rootmydroid.cx.ux/) guides/general/howto-root-your-htc-desire-wildfire-evo-incredible-with-unrevoked/
I'm at step 3. My question is where can i find the most up-to-date official htc rom to flash onto my desire? I know a google search will give me loads of choices, but a lot are now months old and I'm keen not to flash an old version - im running 2.2 at the moment, but i basically just want an unbranded phone without the hassle of making a goldcard.
Is there one single file out there that i need? or will it consist of seperate rom and a radio files? Will the rom come as a .zip or .exe?
I know its a basic question, and once i've got the answer i'll leave you alone and follow the guide myself....just didnt want to flash with unrevoked, and not have a rom to reflash!
if it helps, these are my details:
bravo pvt4 ship s-on
hboot 0.93.0001
micro 051d
touch panel synt0101
radio 5.10.5.30
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
You will need a Goldcard if you're moving off an Orange rom even if you're going to stock HTC.
This is the first thing to do before going any further.
As for an upto date stock unbranded rom, see http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
You will need to run this RUU on your PC while your phone is connected in fastboot mode.
Please be aware tho, that there isn't an Orange RUU available at the moment so going back to an Orange stock rom could be an issue.
Oh, and do a nand backup as soon as you have rooted.

Ah right, ok
I was under the impression that loading a rom via unevoked would effectively overwrite the rom i have now, meaning the carrier's applications would be removed in the process?
I guess a complete debrand isn't what I'm after - I don't mind if i still have the Orange logo on start-up (I don't want to unlock it from the Orange network either), as long as there are none of their applications like Orange Maps and Orange Photos when I'm actually using the phone.
Would i still need a goldcard for that? Or would i be able to follow the guide in the link in my first post, flashing the rom you suggested at stage 3?
Thanks in advance!
If you're going to go to a stock, unrooted, unbranded ROM then you won't be able to restore a nandroid backup as you need root!!
First thing, as said, is to make a gold card. Then use it to flash the 2.29.405.2 RUU. Then see how you get on as it is. If you still don't think it's doing what you need it to then root and go for a custom ROM
Right, ive created a goldcard using a guide on the unlockr.com
The website provides links to desire rooting tools 0.75 or 0.80 bootloaders, however mine is 0.93.0001. Can anyone offer any guidance please?
Thanks in advance!

can i use that with a goldcard to just debrand then? thought that was only for rooting?

The stock rom (or pretty near to stock) you posted a while back eddy was good enough for his needs do you think?
I think Frankdroid did a variation in your thread of it with root and a2sd+. I was using it for a while and battery was good and the rom smooth enough.

Right...
If you just wanna debrand, as is get rid of the Orange crap, and not be rooted then all you need is a gold card and the RUU from my signature. This will give you a stock, unbranded HTC ROM
If you wanna root and go for a custom ROM, use unrEVOked
yea, i just wanna get rid of the Orange crap. I've made my goldcard, following a guide on theunlockr .com, but have come unstuck when it lists some downloads for certain bootloaders that would allow me to run the RUU, however my bootloader is a lot newer so i wasnt sure where i go from here, now that i've made my goldcard
I've downloaded the RUU, but when i run the .exe, is says its not a valid win32 application....?
Basically i've got a goldcard and the ruu. How do i now get it loaded on my phone?
Which RUU did you download? Latest unbranded one is the one in my signature. Ignore guides online as they've not been updated for months
ive got the ruu from your sig. Goldcard was made following an old guide on the web. Will this be ok?
just not sure where to go next in terms of actually getting the ruu on my phone with the goldcard
Gold card guide is fine. That RUU is also fine as it's my upload and is the one I use myself (using Windows 7 Ultimate x64). Don't know why your version of Windows won't run it - unless it's a corrupt download
yeah, weird. Using Win xp. I'll redownload the ruu in your sig. Once i've got it, what do i do? Turn on phone with power/vol down? Then what do i need to select? I'm guessing once im in the right section, i just connect phone to pc, and just run the ruu .exe?
Sorry, loads of basic q's, appreciate your help!
Turn phone on holding the back button and you'll be in FASTBOOT. Connect to the PC and once your Desire says FASTBOOT USB run the RUU
An error (-5001 : 0x80070002) has occured while running the setup.

It worked! Thanks a lot for your help EddyOS
np
Remember, though...you'll need your gold card for ALL future OTA updates if you're staying stock. You may as well make your day to day card your gold card to cut out the faffing about!

I have a Orange branded DHD, unlocked via IMEI, running 2.3.3, i want to install the HTC rom as i have been told it comes with far less bloatware.
I do want a genuine rom though, rather than a cooked version, so have opted for the HTC rom. I found and downloaded the following file which claims to be what i need.
Am i correct?
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed
Also, as it is a genuine rom, do i still need to do all that "rooting" business?
Or can i go ahead and install/flash?
Thanks for any possible help or tips.

If your phone is allready rooted then, after installing the new Official ROM it will be unrooted again, You can try downgrading to the official 1.3x version and then update from HTC direclty. I dont know if you gonna have any problems
because your phone is branded, but i dont rly think so. Im just a user using roms etc, have no idea for further instructions!
Considering you paid a hefty sum for your Desire HD, i strongly recommend you first find your branded rom somewhere in the dev forum first. Just in case you have to reflash teh stock rom for warranty issues. For the rest, I also recommend downgrading to 1.3x first and then flashing whatever you want (cooked roms need s-offs and root). I have a guide in my sig on how to root, s-off and flash a rom, however, stock roms are executables from what i know so you might not need to follow my guide just plug in your dhd with drivers installed and let the exe do its work. Regarding downgrading, you will find a link in my thread to the "Downgrading to 1.3x thread". Have fun
Edit:
I know of 3 ways to brick your dhd:
1. Partitioning your sd card with clockwork mod recovery 3.0.2.5
2. Editing some esf files or something and mistyping something
3. SMashing your phone into a brick wall repeatedly
So, don't worry so much, it's not a galaxy S
Yes, the file i have is an executable file. I think it is the most recent genuine HTC rom available for this device.
So, that being said, i should not need to root or downgrade etc? Just double click & go?
Surly you should not have to root your device when wanting to install a different, but still genuine rom?
I have found it very difficult to locate stock roms for this device.
Going to have another search now, but if anyone knows a shortcut, i'd be more than gratefull

You will need to downgrade first as your device is branded. Once downgraded just run the RUU and Bobs your mothers brother.
If you have an orange dhd you will need the orange upgrade. I'm pretty sure if you try to use a different one it won't let you do it. I'm not 100‰on this.
I used to get android updates for T-Mobile brand off the T-Mobile website.

Which is why you need to downgrade.
@ ghostofcain
And to downgrade is it just a simple rom flash? Or do i need to root or s-off etc first?
I know this would be the case with cooked roms, but i'm only talking about Genuine releases here.
I'm currently running an Orange branded 2.3.3 ROM, so if i simply flash an older rom to the device, then i am all set to flash the newest HTC generic rom to the Desire, right?
That older rom i need to flash first, it would have to be Orange branded too right? Is there any chance you could give me it's exact name or provide a link?
Thanks greatly for the help.

Once you have downgraded you don't need root or s-off to flash the RUU and you don't have to flash an orange branded one. You can flash any updated .exe.
if I have time ill find you a link..
*EDIT*
Also bear in mind if you flash the orange ruu. Or any other branded rom. It will still have all the bloatware you are trying to get rid of.
You must flash a standard HTC one. Go to the HTC website and download the official update from there. You will need to downgrade first though.

That's the problem, the HTC 2.3.3 rom was only ever released OTA, and is not available to download from their website.
Although i think i have managed to find the ".exe" version of that rom.
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed
From what i can tell, this seems to be the newest, Genuine HTC 2.3.3 rom for the Desire HD.
So, i just need to downgrade and then install this right?
So what do i need & what do i do to downgrade, bearing in mind what i currently have installed?

the 1.32 downgrade should be in the link I sent you. I'm not sure about the ota updates. its seriously worth considering doing a full root after you dg and try out some of the fantastic roms some of which are kept as stock but you have more options and root privilages.

You have to downgrade and use a goldcard to de-brand your phone. You cannot flash a standard WWE ROM on a branded phone. After you have completed the steps of de-branding and flashing the latest WWE ROM.... OTA updates may or may not work.
Everything you have asked about is already thoroughly documented elsewhere in the forum and I suggest you go read all the stickies. Do not do anything with your phone that you do not fully understand as you could run into problems.
With Regards to warranty and such-like that people have mentioned, HTC don't really care what you do to the phone software-wise, they might have a problem if you returned it too them in pieces claiming that it just came out of your pocket that way.
Just read everything here and you should be good to go.
Peace.
HI. I am having trouble unrooting my HTC EVO 4g on my sisters MAC. I have followed almost all of the threads out there but haven't been successful. I rooted the phone with Unrevoked website. It says ***Unlocked*** i'm on radio baseband 2.15.00.12.19 and when I run unrevoked-foreverson it never works. Can't remember exactly what it says right now. And when I run the PG3IMG file it either runs and never ask If wanna update and one time it told me the version was older. The reason I wan to unroot my phone is bc I no longer have a pc and I don't have time anymore to mess around with different rom and I just wanna unroot my phone so I can sell it since I am getting un upgrade next month. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Seems like the best route for you to take is flashing through the bootloader...try reformatting your sdcard to FAT32 and try that again
Make sure that the file is named "PC36IMG.zip" as opposed to what you have it named

I had this same problem on OSX. The problem for me was the way OSX was creating the img file. OSX, being a Unix variant, sometimes creates files that are hidden. Such is the case in the archiving of img files.
What I finally ended up doing was downloaded another utility and used that to create the img the rom. Worked like a charm.
If that's not the problem, message me or reply to this and I'll see if I can help.
so my phone is s-on and i need to get it to s-off? I will try to get it to s-off and see if that works. thanks hopefully i can get this done.
ok so somewhere in the process of fully rooting to get s-off i unrooted my phone. bc when i tried to install clockwork and root checker they both said that my pone was not rooted and i have used them both before.is their another way i can check to see if i am not rooted. i just wanna make sure

It probably downgraded you to froyo so that you could get s-off
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software info > and look under Android version
