I rooted my Desire using UnrEVOked 3 and can't find out how to unroot it, i've tried various methods from various forums such as installing different RUU's but i can't get it to work, i also can't access HTC Sync, i just want it to go back to the stock ROM without root if anyone knows how to do this it would be great, thanks!
Edit: I can now access HTC Sync, if that helps...

I have same Problem~Can somebody help us...=.=
You need to find a ruu that matches your phone. But if you give us this little information we cannot help you.
- What errors did you get when running the ruu? And try to be exact.

I tried one of the WWE roms from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 I think it was the top download, it came up with something like please use the correct RUU and try again, I bought my phone Unlocked and I think it was unbranded if that helps, thanks!
It sounds like you are getting a "wrong CID" error. Which means that your phone wasn't originally unbranded.
Two possibilities.
1) find the correct RUU for your operator, that one should install properly
OR: 2) create a goldcard, many tutorials on the Web (Google for one), then the WWE RUU will successfully install. BUT you'll end up with a generic ROM, not the operator-specific one originally installed on your handset.

Is there any way that I can find out the exact RUU i need?
Sorry to sound noobish but I have no idea what a goldcard is, thanks for your help.
Use this guide to make a gold card, its pretty simple.

Not that I am aware of. I would try the ones from shipped roms that correspond with the network you use.
You should've thought about un rooting at the time you rooted it..
There is a method to find out which ruu you need. Find the threads I've started, and look for the guide on un bricking an slcd desire..the faq had the info you need
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I'm trying to unroot to stock rom and stuff, and I have the Telus specific RUU file.
The quick gold card making, hex-edit free software is not a viable option because the website listed on the software is now gone;;
Also, which guide should I stick to? There are so many on the forums with different methods.
you can find which RUU is yours by trying to match the build number* (if you're still on the stock HTC Froyo ROM) to other RUU's, go to about phone, software and look for it there.
*I think it's the build number
hi, i also have almost the same problems. i tried the three WWE roms, and all the european roms, but it still doesnt work. and im getting an Error [170] or [120]. by the way my phone is not branded. my buildnumber is: 2.50.405.2 CL87995. what should i do now?

For error 170: Make sure you installed hboot drivers and htc sync drivers (correctly).
For error 120: It seems you got the wrong image. Please check you downloaded the right version. Reset your device ("clear storage") and then run ruu again.

wow that's a pretty new one lol.. I'd suggest making a goldcard and flashign the latest WWE RUU you can find.
Hboot drivers
My phone will not update from any RUU & HTC Devs Unlock Bootloader also does not work.
I loaded a custom rom about a week ago and it locked my bootloader. Now I cannot do anything. My CWM Recovery has gone too. So I'm stuck.
I have managed somehow to load an old rom:
RUU_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.2_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_185724_signed.
This is the only way I got my phone working again.
I have tried other Stock Roms more current via RUU, no luck.
I have tried other Stock Roms more current via Bootloader renaming to PG76IMG, no luck.
Therefore I cannot even update to current anything and what makes it worse is that CWM Recovery has gone. I found this great for Backing Up my phone and Restoring it after trying out Custom Roms.
Anyway, if any one can help me in any way possible and/or point me in the right direction, I would be most greatful.
Please help, if you can.

At the moment, I cannot change these because of what I've mentioned in my original post.
Make a goldcard (search on google) and the you will be able to install any ruu with a software number higher than yours.

I cannot create a Goldcard.
I've searched and tried some methods and also looked at some videos too.
I just cannot get the methods to work for me.
I've been trying for a long time to create a Goldcard, about a six months. I get so frustrated I give up.
Can you suggest a particular method that you know works?.
Could you post the method you used and where you get an error?

SimpleGoldCard,
Step 3 Get CID. I chose MMC0, MMC1 and MMC2. No joy.
Unlockr Method.
Cannot get the CID code to reverse. It just doesn't want to know.
There's an app on the market called goldcard helper. Try that.

Thank you.
Tried it and managed to create the Goldcard.
I placed the Goldcard in my phone, tried to update the rom via RUU 2.13.401.2 and went upto 19% complete and then I received an ERROR 171 failed connection.
Basically I'm back to square one again.
I just do not know what else to try.
I am still searching for solutions but with no luck.
You used the goldcard.img file with the simple goldcard tool right ?
Open simple goldcard tool on your computer, skip the steps which are for the cid, click load goldcard img, navigate to the downloaded img, then click patch mmc, (i dont remember the exact process). Then your goldcard is ready.

I've done all that already and got the message "SD Card is now a Goldcard" or something like that.
As I said, back to square one.
There's a tutorial somewhere for that error in the general section. Search for it.

Hi all,
I'm stuck at fastboot with relocked phone. I need the RUU (3.16.415.4) for the GCC region (HTC__J15). I've searched all possible places on the net and this RUU doesn't exist. If anyone knows where I can find it, I would really appreciate the help. Otherwise, do i have any other options, assuming this RUU doesn't exist?
My Hboot is 1.39 if it matters.
Thanks!

I tried restoring my nandroid but it wasn't working (might have been corrupted), hence I relocked the phone and tried to run a RUU. I downloaded one which has higher numbers than mine, but I guess it was the wrong region. Then I tried looking for the right region (GCC) but I cant find it, hence the messy situation (which I now know could have been avoided).

Yes, S-OFF would probably solve your problem since you were able to downgrade your firmware with older RUUs if your phone was S-OFF. Nevertheless you need a working system and root because the only way to achieve S-OFF on the M9 is the sunshine app. Ignore what I wrote in the last sentence. I forgot that you can get S-OFF by using a java card. However I have no expierences with java cards so I can't tell you whether there are conditions that need to be fulfilled if you want to use one.

Sunshine needs an unlocked bootloader, root and a booting system on the M9. So it's not an option in your current situation.
You can buy a java card on your own (I know that's a bad suggestion because they're so expensive) or you look for someone who owns one and does not live in the States. Some phone repair shops here in Germany advertise that they do java card service so I highly doubt that they are only available in the US.
Edit: Or as said before, you can use the RUU service I linked in post #4.

Thanks for your patience. Looks like the RUU service you referenced is my best chance to get my phone working. Thanks for the link - I wouldn't have thought of looking for that. I can't find any prices to buy a Java card. I get the impression it would be cheaper to buy a new phone! There are lots of posts about sending your phone off to somebody that already has a Java card. They all seem to be in the States. I've learnt an expensive lesson - make sure that the RUU you're going to flash is good before you flash it! Or stick with OTAs!
Many thanks for your help.

If on Marshmallow, you need to use TWRP 3.0, and SuperSU 2.76. But you need to unlock the bootloader again, to do that.
A lot of folks have been trying to use old versions TWRP and/or SuperSU (or toolkit that will install old versions of those) which results in no boot.

"I can't do anything now" is not an accurate statement. I advised you several things to try to remedy the RUU Error 171.
One alternative, is if you can find the RUU in zip format, you can flash from SD card.
Another alternative, unlock the bootloader again, and restore a stock TWRP backup (stock "nandroid") from the collection here on XDA.

Meaning what, that you are still getting Error 171?
If you tried something I suggested, and it didn't work, you should post that, and specific details and results. Otherwise, you make it harder for me to help you, as I waste both our time asking questions for info you should have provided in the first place.
And you didn't try "everything". Don't post statements like that. Its an exaggeration (if you truly tried "everything" in the world, it would eventually work), and doesn't actually tell us anything useful. Be specific in what you tried, and the specific results.
What Windows version? What USB version? Win7 and USB 2.0 have the best chance for compatibility for RUU.
Also do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Your gratitude is appreciated, but I'm not sure what I really did to help.
If you were clear about what version M8 you have (one of the main reasons I asked for getvar info - but you never supplied) and what RUU you were trying, we could have identified the problem a long time ago.
Happy to see you sorted it out, in any case.
