[Q] Warranty after root? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there! My HTC Desire is rebooting every hour for no particular reason since yesterday so I'm gonna have to send it to HTC to get a new mainboard. Will I be able to hide the fact that I have rootand custom ROM by simply flashing a non rooted official ROM? Will they notice it?
I have even read that my warranty may not even be void because of rooting. Anyone experienced something like that? How could I remove my clockworkmod recovery?

Flash an official HTC ROM using RUU - it will un-root get rid of CWM and put back stock ROM.

There is a website that stores all stock ruu files. i cant rememebr the name of the site. if anyone could post it for him. basically a ruu file is a exe u open on your pc and follow its on screen instructions to push and flash the stock rom unrooted back into your phone. it will overwrite everything in your phone so i tihnk its impossible to findout you were rooted. its the equivalent of a iphone restore from itunes.

Heres all the RUUs for the GSM version of the desire.

you would not lose your warrenty i have tried before without unrooting it

I installed an update on my rooted acer a3-10. Now the tablet keeps rebooting on an endless loop, i've tryed recovering the stock rom from the console and such, but ultimately i'll have to rely on contacting the manufacturer, what should i expect? being charged for setting the tablet back?

If your rooted and then mess up your phone and then the manufacturar will ask for charges.

Did you happen to make a backup of your phone before you flashed it?
(My phone has the exact same radio, so if you were able to get a good backup, we both could restore our phones from it and be back working again.)

Fastboot not really flashing ?????

Hy everybody,
My hox is like a surprise box.
Yesterday i could not do anything because of empty battery but i fixed it.
And today fastboot seems not to work correctly.
For example, if i try to flash recovery i doesn t change anything. It shows writing sos partition okay and succes.
And when i go to recovery it s stays with the same recovery.The same trouble with flashing boot.
The i try to install a rom over cwm 6 it shows okay but i get stuck a rom bootscreen. If i try to mount usb, it works
then i put a new rom on it after unmounting rom isn t on the internal memory.If i erase anything on my memory over
windows folder and files disapear but on unmouting nothing was deleted.
It s like i dont have any rigths.
I flashed to hboot 1.39 got no trouble and cid is HTC_102.
Does anybody got a solution ?
Can you lock your bootloader?
Try running a RUU. That oughta reset any problems with partition permissions.

What ROM/kernel have you been running prior to the problem?
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------
Nevermind, I've seen your posts in Trip's kernel thread. Your HOX is bricked. No solution until we can achieve S-off. Until then you can either wait or send it to repair. You can risk and try to brick your bootloader by trying to relock the bootloader and running RUU (more likely to "avoid" the void warranty so to say but also more likely to be charged for more should they discover you unlocked the bootloader), or just send it as-is.

Thanks for the response.
I m not sure about the bricked device since it boots to android (okay i can not acces to android the user way) but
device seems to connect perfectly to pc with adb and i guess it s just a partition permission that need to be reseted.
Isn t there a way over linux to achieve that?

[Q] Many questions

Hi, Im really sick of my HOX. I have so many questions.
I had official stock rom in my HOX, but it have Wi-Fi issue - 3.18.401.1. So I badly decide to install custom rom, I didnt took a nandroid backup of the stock rom and the only one i took is rooted rom. Then I installed CM 10.1 and the wi-fi issue disapear, thats good, but it is very unoptimized for HOX - battery, USB cable, photos,... So I need to back to stock. Thats my story and I have many questions:¨
1)To go back to stock I need RUU or there is more options?¨
2)I cant use any RUU because I had installed the latest firmware. Can I change the version of firmware in my phone to use RUU?
3)Who depevelop RUUs? How can I officially get it? When they are going to release new version of RUU?
4)To go back to stock need I the same version of I had (3.18.401.1) or newer?
5)Can HTC (I can pay for it) flash me the original ROM, if I have voided the warranty?
Thank you for your responds. I m really nervous because I need it as soon as possible because I fly to the USA and I want to have reliable mobile device with WIFI. SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

Thank you so much, i forgot one problem, When i restored the only one nandroid backup I have, it boots but touchscreen did not function. So can you suggest me how to back to stock ASAP.
HTC releases RUU's. Those are the official updates. Haven't seen an hBoot update for the HOX for awhile. It was a know issue that the 3.18 base has wifi issues. You can switch to any ROM with 3.19 base (most of them) and your wifi issues should clear up. Sense ROM's for me have always seemed to be less glitchy/more stable than non-sense.

1. Either a RUU or a nandroid backup. There are plenty of stock backups available on XDA.
2. No
3. HTC develops them. They are never official releases, they're leaked by HTC staff.
4. Same or newer.
5. I guess so but there are easier (and cheaper) ways of doing it.

Can you write me a link with instructions and nandroid backups of stock android.
RUU's are stock. Here is the link to the web page you want http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140308 . You need to find the right RUU for your phone depending on where it was manufactured at. You'll just have to read a bit to figure that out. HTC won't individually send you a RUU, you just have to download it.

The 3.18 and 1.29 are referring to two completely different things. You can update, forget about the 3.18 with RUU's. Put this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDMsIm9yZy50cml0b25zb2Z0LmNpZGdldHRlciJd on your phone and it will tell you your CID. Write this down or something. It should look like HTC_001, or something similar. Then you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 and look for your CID and download and flash and you'll be back to stock.

Wouldn't say you're dumb. I've bricked a couple phones in my time in rooting. Just take your time and if you feel like something is wrong then STOP and ask. That's the best advice I can give, so you're doing the right thing:good:

And one hopefully last question can I use it in case of warranty after that or not?
Warranty depends on hardware issues or not. They know the bootloader was unlocked, because it says relocked and not locked again. So they might won't give warranty.
But please stay in one thread now !

As I predict some more problems and questions:
1) If I try to use the recovery it says MD5 mischeck or something like that. I found the solution with using adb but if I try it, it wrote device not found, I cant use Massstorage (i dont know why).
2) If it will be succesful can I use OTA?

No offence, but you really shouldn't have been doing any of this in the first place.
You clearly understand nothing about any of the processes your trying to do.
1- Go into Recovery (CWM) and Mount USB
2- Now From your PC create a folder in the root of the storage and call it "clockworkmod"
3- In the "clockworkmod" folder create another folder named "backup"
4- Extract the .zip file in that folder (do not change the name of the folder extracted cause it could give md5sum problems)(also the folder name must not have any space between words)
5- Before continuing on the phone, open that folder from the pc and copy the boot.img in the folder that you prefer
6- Reboot phone into Fastboot mode and flash the boot.img by typing
Code:
CWM NAND: fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
TWRP NAND: fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
7- Reboot the phone into Recovery again
8- Go to Backup & Restore> restore> and here choose the folder previously extracted, and that's it

I thank all so much for your patient with me! I successfully went back to stock!

[Q] How to install Android Revolution HD

Hello,
I've been recently trying to install few times the Android Revolution HD 10.2 ROM however I always fail. Same happened with previous version.
After the ROM installs, i hit reboot and then nothing. It just freezes on the htc logo (with "developer" text) and nothing happens.
So my question is, what am I doing wrong?
I have no problems with installing ViperOne and all of the non-stock based ROMs.
I can't get S-OFF, so I hope it isn't neccessary
Please keep in mind that I'm pretty new at using HTC One m8, however I have experience with android.
If you have the HTC__001 cid or any which is WWE/ Europe you can and MUST flash the firmware.zip for 2.22.401.4 ...otherwise it won't boot or many things will be broken...all necessary things can be found in each Rom thread, how to flash things and what you need etc...Also which recovery do you use and did you flashed a few mods or so afterwards?

Ok, so I don't really know what this CID is. I've seen people talking about this but can't really tell what it is for. Is this some kind of ID a device, for which country it's meant?
You said "flash 2.22.401.4" firmware. Now I would have to find out how to do that (after I do that, will I be able to normally downgrade to 4.4.2 or will there be some problems?)
There's flashtool for Xperia's, Odin for Samsungs and is there a simillar software for HTC devices (I have something called All-In-One_Kit)?
I've seen also something like RUU, but I would need to fix fastboot, as it isn't working after fresh install of Windows.
My CID: HTC_032
Recovery: TWRP 2.7.1.0
Kernel: Unknown, the one that comes with ViperOne (Already tried flashing ARHD with elementaX kernel)
Current version of firmware: 1.54.401.5

RUU isn't going to help you with any of this (s-off, flashing firmware packages, etc.). Its just to restore to a stock image (ROM, radio, hboot, recovery).
I really recommend you get fastboot working. You need adb/fastboot to get s-off anyway.
Toolkits are only of limited use. They don't do anything you can't do manually with a few adb or fastboot commands. And many would say if you can't handle doing these things manually, you shouldn't be messing with the phone at all.

Yeah, I would need RUU to get to stock 4.4.3.
I can't get s-off, firewater isn't working with my phone, and I don't want to choose the paid method, as I will probably soon change this device anyway.

I see what you're saying: RUU to stock, OTA to 4.4.3 to get the firmware package, then unlock bootloader again, install custom recovery and install ARHD.

Also there is no need of using a RUU... You can just download the stock Rom zip, flash back stock kernel and stock recovery...but only if that Rom matches your cid...If not you have to take a nandroid backup from Mr hofs collection thread...

Thank You, You gave me so much information I needed to know more about this device.
I've found a link like this but I can't find my cid
So for example flashing "CID HTC__001" file would brake my device?
P.S. I'm currious what would happen if I flashed wrong CID firmware. Could You tell me more about flashing wrong one. Would it work normally, had some issues, wouldn't boot or wouldn't I be even able to flash this?
EDIT: Hehe, the link I provided is Mr hofs thread. So what now, if my CID isn't there? Can I just use any version that is for Europe, like eg. germany?
EDIT 2: Flashed stock, deodexed ROM 4.4.3, but still no luck with ARHD

If you are now s-off just get super cid with fastboot oem writecid 1111111 I hope enough ones xD or just write a cid like HTC__001 ... If you have further questions write me a pm and we can talk over hangouts or pm here... easier to follow the progress
Ok, finally got it.
I had to flash "SkyDragon+M8+Sense+444+Kernel+V2.0.1".
Now it's testing time.
Let's see if this ROM is so good.
EDIT: There's nothing cool in this ROM
Going back to skydragon.
Yea arhd is like stock Rom and yea nothing special about it
Hahaha aww man, do you not read what each ROM does before installing it so you know beforehand what you're getting yourself into?
Nah, I didn't. I saw many people were using it so I thought it must be good, but it isn't (no special features).
However I wanted to learn how to make it work, and I must say that the htc is the weirdest phone I ever had. Flashing a rom can't be done logically, here nothing works as it should in theory
Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore
I often see people who aren't able to get arhd working...but I really don't know why..the normal cwm recovery doesn't work as it should...use instead twrp or Philz...both are working foo and with Philz backup and restore is working where in twrp most of the m8 are having problems :/ I really don't have problems to install a custom Rom.
I got the phone, tried it one day stock, wanted to get a custom Rom, unlocked boot loader flashed custom recovery and afterwards Rom and elementalx kernel...without problems.. few months later was able to do s-off with sunshine and after that most things where again easier

Help with my HTC One M8

I am new and nervous with HTC Phones. I want to convert my 5.0.2 Lollipop One M8 Canada to Stock Google Edition. I need to know how or what order do I do this in. I am running 3.19 hboot and radio 1.25 I really need help I specialize in Samsung and lg phones and Nexus phones. Please tell me where I need to go how and what order do I do to my phone
the first thing you need to do is get your htc device s-off, it will cost you 25$ and you can flash the rom u want
I don't wanna flash a rom I want to convert it to Google Edition so I get updates. What after I get S off

Full conversion is really what the previous post meant (even though its not what they typed); as you don't need s-off to flash the GPE ROM.
S-off by sunshine, if you haven't figured that out yet: http://theroot.ninja/
After s-off, just run the GPE RUU posted in the Development section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589
I don't want a rom i want to Complete Convert my ONe M8 to google Edition and i want to fully get updates i hate sense never will go back

Full conversion is what I gave you. You need to either read my last post, of the GPE RUU thread a little more carefully.
Ok I fully rooted Nd unlocked the bootloader . How do I flash the ruu file. I know how to S Off but when I do conversion do I I've to unroot or relock my bootloader to get updates

As long as you ran a fully official, unmodified RUU, you already have stock recovery. No further actions will be needed for future OTAs.
However, OTAs require a unrooted ROM (never rooted, rooting then unrooting doesn't work). So if you intend to root, you should make a TWRP backup of the stock unrooted ROM, before you root.

Since you run an RUU, the phone is no longer rooted. You need the stock, never rooted ROM to update in the future (as I've mentioned).
Relocking the bootloader is not necessary to update.
