[Q] Please help with unroot

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?

[Q] O2 HTC Desire Can't Apply RUU Please Help!

Hello,
I'm posting here in desperation, I really hope someone could help me.
I've recently bought a HTC Desire from O2. It was running Android 2.2 but I flashed cyanogenmod to it along with the latest radio.
Cyanogenmod worked fine but the radio stopped my 3G internet from working. In the end I decided to simply revert back to original setup using a RUU.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, the first RUU I tried ALMOST worked but then failed claiming a file was missing and that I needed to try a complete RUU.
From that point onwards I have been unable to find an RUU that will work - I constantly receive error code 140, bootloader version error.
Can anyone please tell me how to circumvent this error OR provide me with an O2 RUU that will work?
Here's the spec from my startup screen:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP - 051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.09.05.30_2
Please note that the only option I have available to me from the boot-menu is RUU - Any option to enter recovery mode is not visible.
Please please help me, thank you so much in advance.

I wish I could give helpful advice...
I'm gonna try though.
Download one of the latest RUU's from here.
Perhaps your RUU was a bit old?
I've only ever done RUU once, when sending my phone back for repair. I encountered another issue.

To the OP, which RUU are u trying to use?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

Make sure you've got a goldcard then do the downgrade. After that you should be able to do any RUU you like.

Lol just try a different radio. Have you manually set your APN?

Hi dehaani. In order to run the downgrade utility I surely need to be able to access my device (to enable usb debugging ) I currently can't get further than a grey HTC logo with exclamation marks in the corners? Is there a way to downgrade without the need to boot in to a ROM?
I've tried running almost all RUU I can find online, most of them result in Error 140: Bootloader version error.
I can't flash another radio because the only option I have available to me in bootloader is "RUU", no option to restore etc. How do I manually set my APN?! Would this involve access to the phone too?
Thank you all so much for your responses so far, please keep helping.

try again hope good luck

This might have been pot luck on my part getting through to someone who knew their stuff, but I had a problem when flashing Oxygen RC7 to my desire.
I had to ring o2 about another contract I have, used by a family member, and they asked if there was anything else they could help with so I jokingly replied "not unless you know about flashing replacement ROMs..." would you Adam & Eve it, the clever little badger only went and talked me through the issue I had come across on my Desire.
Might be worth giving them a bell if you cant find a solution online, I've always found them very helpful.

corrupt bootloader s-off

hi
i just downgraded my desire hd and then did a radio s-off but then i wanted to do a S-OFF.
i used the easyS-off but then it said bootloader corrupt do not reboot.
i already tried without "I Have Radio S-OFF" then it just says connection problem
i have charged only and debugging turned on
what now?
thnx

hmm what about Easy Radio Tools?

i used that for radio s-off

it worked now!! thnx to this guy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999219
second post!!

I would be hesitamt to reboot though, haven't used the easytool as I personally prefer to know what steps are being carried out, but if it warns that the bootloader is corrupt I wouldn't reboot until I knew the situation is corrected.

Hello guys (I suppose most of the visitors are in fact guys ),
I downgraded my DHD to 1.32 this week and managed to get root-access and did a successful Radio S-OFF using the One click Radio S-OFF.
However; this morning I tried the One click ENG S-OFF but the first time I tried to run the tool I got an error stating "Connection error (SD)". Rebooted my phone and tried again.
This time I got the error "Bootloader corrupt, contact XDA".
After I almost crapped myself I started to search for a solution; someone on this forum stated to go to application settings - superuser - and clear data. Did it and then I got a bunch of applications which did a forced close.
Tried the One click tool again and got the same error (Bootloader corrupt).
In the meanwhile I got all this popups regarding android.process.acore needed to close which finally resulted in an unusable phone so I rebooted...
Thank god this went alright and my phone is up and running again but...
I think the last failure was probably caused by the One click app that doesn't have root access (didn' t get a popup though), but I'm a little afraid to try it again.
Does anyone know if it's save to try it again?

Why not do it longhand? Concise instructions are available here, I realise you already have root but even if you follow the instructions from the begining they aren't gonna do any harm.

Thanks, that could be a solution however I found out that I didn't check the box "I have Radio S-OFF
Tried again with the checkbox checked but got the same error again.
The files that were copied to my SD-card at the first attempt are still there.
Is it safe to remove these files?
Maybe that solves it...

It is very important, that you agree the super user request while the tool does its job.
I had the same problems some weeks ago (bootloader corrupt), because during the flash my display timeout was reached and the super user request failed (black locked screen).
If the tool can not get root, it can not copy the bootloader. The message "bootloader is corrupt" is confusing, because nothing has happend.

Which is one reason I favour doing it long hand at least then youd know it's failed to flash the bootloader

Hmm, strange.
When I boot into the bootmenu (vol. down + power) it states the I'm already ENG s-OFF and hav CID 111111...
Something must have gone right....
However I can't find the line anymore that states that I have Radio S-OFF, is this normal behaviour?

Exactly! The instructions don't mention it, but when you run the easy s-off exe, it goes through a few steps and then your phone will ask you to allow superuser access. So have your screen on and be ready, and THEN run the easy s-off utility. That's all it was for me. I hit "OK" on the error message, tried it again but this time watched my phone and allowed SU access, and it worked fine.

Hi,
I'm posting here because i had the same problem ( Bootloader corrupt etc ... ).
First I rooted my DHD, and made it Eng s-off and installed a rom a few month ago.
Today I wanted to install another rom, and flash the radio.
But I did not remenbered if I already had the radio s-off, so i installed the 1.32 stokified rom, used the easy radio tool ( v2.2 ) and when i wanted to use the easy s-off tool ( v05 ), the program gave me the error message concerning the bootloader corrupt and stuff. I tried it with "I have radio s-off" ticked, and when I try it with unticked, I have a connection error message.
I tried to delete the data from SU, but it didn't help, and then I noticied ( remenbered ) that SU did not asked me the authorizations when I used easy radio tool ans easy s-off.
Anyone have an idea how I can fix that ? Maybe unistall/reinstall SU ?

HTC Desire HD radio S-OFF steps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTFphGbgqbQ&feature=player_embedded

Yes I did that after reinstalling the 1.32 rom, excepted the Visionary steps.
The root is permanent no ? I did it on my previous rom, so I don't have to root it again when I install another rom ?
Anyway, my DHD rebooted when I tried to secure the battery compartment, the bootloader wasn't corrupted, it's fine.
So I checked the bootload, I have ENG s-off and Cid 1111... this mean that my device is radio s-off too right ?

[Q] hboot 1.03.0003 problem

Hello guys.
As I can see - my problem is unique and almost noone has solved it, but I won't give up.
Okay, let's start from the beginning.
I had stock firmware with 2.29 OS version (no matter to write all the numbers of version, just 2.29). In order to have something newer and with new HTC Sense, I managed to get the Cool3D RunnyMede v7 firmware on my phone.
Like in many tutorials I went on htcdev.com and used to unlocking bootloader. I followed all the steps and finally got the unlocked butloader, but with s-on (I saw no matter on it, as I do now).
Downloaded the clockwork mod, I proceeded to flash my phone, and after some problems I had the custom firmware. Okay, all is good, but what the problem? Problem was that I could not use anything of phone's functions, just had no service. Okay, it was the radio problem. It was caused by that fact that while s-on, I upgrade the firmware but not radio (but it was in archive with firmware too).
Cause I had s-on I had no chance to flash my radio.
S-on was caused by htcdev RUU updater, that made my phone having hboot 1.03.0003.
Now I have no firmware, just clockworkmod 2.5.0.7, s-on and hboot 1.03.0003.
When I try to setup official RUU I have the 140 error, it means that in ROM that I try to set up is lower version of hboot that I have. When I try to replace it on my hboot (extracting it from the hboot updater) I get error 132, it means CID problem, but in android-info.txt in ROM's file I have the same, that on my phone.
Can anyone help me, or I just have to write to HTC Support, and after having no answer break my phone about the nearest wall?..

Check bortak's troubleshooting guide (see my sig).

Thanks, but I've seen it for many times, don't know what can help me...
Maybe goldcard?.. Anything else?

Hi there is a way how to downgrade your 1.03 hboot in resources of bortak's guide or you can find it here
after downgrade you can run revolutionary to get s-off and flash your preferred radio

Hey guy, it looks helpful as nothing I've seen before; thank you; I'll write about the result.

It works.)
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Trying to unlock with HTCdev - error 191 despite 3.12.405.1 - what to do now ?

Hello.
For 2 days now, I have been trying to unlock a DHD,with not much luck so far. (AAHK being disabled just when I needed it.)
I am now trying to use the official HTCDev bootloader unlocker, but it doesn't seem to work either.
So far, my rom is still stock. (The phone tells me it is :
sense 3.0,android 2.3.5, ver 3.12.405.1 ,
HBOOT 2.00.0027
Radio 26.14.04.28_M )
The phone was never branded or somlocked.
It SHOULD be supported by HTCDev. However,when I run the RUU update, It asks me if I want to go from 3.12.405.1 to 3.13.000.0
I say yes.
The phone reboot to Fastboot, and then I get an error 191, saying that my rom is not supported and I should wait for an update.
Since it supposed to be supported already, there will be no update of course.
Earlier, I had tried to manually downgrade following this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424023
I had gone to the end of the guide, having the message "your card is now gold",but couldn't seen to use it to downgrade. (Is there a specific way to use a goldcard ? I just got to bootloader and it seems to load something ... but in the end the hboot version doesn't change.)
I kept the goldcard as it was, and used another micros SD.
I did a factory reset before trying HTC dev unlocker.
Now I am a bit lost. I have tried to find what to do by reading posts, faqs, and generally searching here ot with google.
But I seem to go from outdated to incomplete guides, and / or lack the basics to understand what I read.
Does anyone know what my next step should be ? What could prevent HTCdev unlocker from working ?

You need to update your hboot for HTCDEV tool to work. I don't know why but the links in the site seem to have been removed thou the link is still alive.
Try to use this tool (that will guide you through the process) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336 or use this tool (that will unlock the bootloader, flash CWM recovery and root) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169515

I tried both those utility, but they merely download and launch the same RUU update. It will detect a 1.00.000.00 image version, try to update to 3.13.something,and then tell me it can't due to unsuported rom.
I think the problem might be that I switched my version 1.00.000 manually when I was trying to downgrade. I'LL try reversing that, but if anyone has another idea, please ...
Edit :
Nope, still stuck.
I changed back the misc version to 2.00.0027, but the HTC dev ruu update still tells me that my rom is not supported.

I found what was wrong for me !
It came from my first try at manually downgrading. Except the misc version is not the HBOOt version, it's the rom version. Following the guide, I had set it to 1.00.000.0
I retraced the same step, except I set it to 3.12.405.1 ( the version of the rom ).
And it worked !

No.
After setting the rom version back to 3.12.405.1, I used the HTC unlocker to unlock my Hboot.
The automatic script ( easyUnlock and EasyAceUnlock ) didn't seem to work for me (Error while trying to get root.)
So I just installed Clockwork mod recovery. I don't really need to be root anyway. I just want some JellyBean taste.
But now I seem to be having a new problem. I tried to install a rom ( Wiping everything I can from CWM before ) but my phone won't boot. It is stuck to the green HTC logo.
I will be looking through new post from this forum to try to find a solution, while downloading other roms.
I wonder if some (or all) roms require you to be root to work.

Indeed. Now starting the slow process of finding the right rom.
I will regret not being able to flash a radio ( since I'm not S-Off ) but at least I be able to try new roms.
Thanks !
