[Q] Help / Advice needed PLEASE..

Hi, I am new to the andriod platform an i have just got a HTC Desire with Virgin Mobile, PLEASE BE GENTLE.....
It does not seem to be sim locked as i have tried an Orange sim in the phone and it works.
I have seen a Desire with Froyo on it and want to upgrade my phone.
After trying all the guides on various forums i still cannot upgrade and VM is not offering the update OTA.
when trying the Goldcard method I get error wrong bootloader, when trying with the OTA named update.zip using recovery it also throws up an error and exits.
What i have done now is rooted the phone using unrevoked3 method which has worked.
i want to have a stock 2.2 phone, not bothered about keeping the root, if i put the OTA update.zip on the sd card (or goldcard as i have created one) and flash using the clockworkmod recovery which is now on my phone will this work or should i update the radio first and will i be able to get OTA updates in future ???
my desire is:
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband version 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Software number 1.23.351.1
Bootloader 0.80.0000
when it boots it has the VM logo but apart from that there is no other branding on the phone.
Obviously i dont want to brick the phone, i have done lots of reading and i am still unsure of how i can get my phone updated.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help....

Your phone is rooted?
Simply download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
Which is a rooted but everything else is the same as stock 2.2. That way you'll have the option to use custom roms etc.
If you need step by step instructions to flashing as the guide on that page isn't so detailed let me know.

Thanks for the reply , if i keep root i was thinking of trying this rom
h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726300
i take it since my desire is rooted and i am on boot 0.80.000 i will just need to flash radio first , then flash the rom??
will it matter that my desire is possibly classed as branded and has the operators custom firmware on looking at the software number???
do i just rename the radio to update.zip and put on sd card and flash with clockworkmod , then do the same with the rom ???
should i use the goldcard when doing the above or will any sd card be ok??
thanks again for the advice....

Update....
Took the plunge and installed radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 and then the Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed].
All went well but the phone was running slow.
Did a factory reset and wipe in clockworkmod and reinstalled the rom.
restored my apps using mybackup , got contacts back off google account and all is good now.

[Q] Strange Unrooting Problems

I purchased my Desire back in June and as soon as i found out about rooting
i used the one click unrevoked 3 method. Due to it being unbranded i didnt need a gold card i simply did so. After which i had problems installing some roms and its become too difficult so ive decided to unroot it and use it as it was meant to be until i gain more knowledge.
My problem is no matter which RUU i use following the unlocker method nothing works. I continue to get the error that none of the RUUs are suitable for my phone.
I have looked through the other posts but couldnt find an answer that worked for me.
my radio is 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
Im running AuraxTSense 7.6.1 Froyo FRF91 by NeoPhyTe
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Is your Hboot 0.93 ?
try this RUU : http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Enter bootloader (vol.dw+power), then plug the phone to USB and run the RUU it should work...
Have u installed HTC Sync again after using unrevoked?
U need the htc drivers installed

Have u tried LeeDroid?
Running stable and fast in my Desire, I rooted nd unrooted the phone twice, but every time i go back to unroot status i get bored, so root again, i think u should try another ROM first before unroot, try mine : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
Download de ROM,
Install thru ROM Manager or directly thru Recovery, but remember to Wipe data before u install make a clean install, if u still experience any issues go back to Stock...

My Hboot is 0.93.0001
Ill try the RUU tomorrow when i have enough time at my disposal
Although ill try leedroid first just in case. Hopefully it works and is good enough
thanks for the help

Just curious, but did it work?

You need to enter FASTBOOT (back + power) to run an RUU outside of Android

[Q] Not able to unroot htc desire :-(

I have HTC Desire bought from India with baseband version=32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 & software number=2.13.720.1.
I rooted my phone with unrewoked3 but now i want to get back to my original rom which i got at the time of purchase as i am not able to get updates. I have tried to flash rom : RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed but not able to get it done with error 131. Please some one help me out of this i have checked everywhere for this but not able to get it done.. Please help me out of this..

I have successfully flashed the following ROM by using gold card:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed
But i think that this is not the rom which was earlier on my desire at the time of shipping,because i was getting update for:RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India.
Can someone help me getting this clear.. is this ROM different from what i was having at the time of purchase???

You did not need to install that RUU Rom that u installed. Unrevoked ONLY provides root, it does not replace your ROM. You actually lost the original ROM now by installing this new ROM.

Thanx for your valuable reply... But now what i can do??? I want to get back to my original ROM how can i get there??

I'm afraid not much.
Over at shipped roms there is only an old RUU 2.1 (eclair).
It's the right one for you and if you managed to find the updates you'll be okay, you can also try searching for OTAs but I don't know if you have big chance for an OTA when you are right now in such an old version.
Maybe you can mail htc to ask them if they will provide you with a link for the froyo OTA for your software version, tell them you missed it...

clockworkmod
hehe..
I have clockworkmod which is there in the SD card(after rooting the device by unrewokrd one get this), can this help me in getting my ROM back??

You can restore from clockwork but you'll then be still roooted, although with your original 2.2 ROM.
You did the backup rooted - the restore therefore will be with root.

Can i try to downgrade bootloader
Hmmm... Thanks man :-(
I have tried to flash RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127705_signed
by using gold card but not able to do that.. I think i have to downgrade radio or boot-loader first then i will be able to do the same... Is it true???
Also please try to give the procedure to downgrade boot-loader...

I don't have experience with downgrading but you can follow the guide by teppic in development - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
And you do not need a goldcard when you are flashing an Indian x.xx.720.x ROM because your original ROM was this type. You need it only when you are flashing update or a ROM that is not for your device.

OK... I am trying on the same thread but thanx for this..
I will try to downgrade, lets hope for the best

[Q] unrooting HTC Desire Z

Hey everyone,
Lately i've rooted my phone ,and i'm like rooted for a week now, and i'm using MIUI ROM atm.
But i wanted to know how i could unroot and get back to my stock rom? , my reason for this is because i think my camera is broken so i need to send it back. when i launch my camera i get like rainbow colors.
Could someone lead me to a unroot HTC desire Z guide, or help me?
to get my HTC sense Stock back.
Thanks.

Turn off camera effects?

it's not my camera effects , that's the 1st thing i checked , i also tried other camera's apps all ended up as same effect. It's probably broken.
But i got a next probleem :/ , i dont know how to unroot my phone , looking everywhere for guides but really cant find one. besides i already tried to get 1.34 stock on my phone which is impossible , it wont detect the PC10IMG.zip in hboot and the back-up i made of 1.34 rom back then is not possible to recovery anymore either , it keeps getting stuck at boot screen, could my phone be bricked?
can someone help me?

Mate,
If you use google with this keyword "How to unroot htc desire z", you will find a link to unroot DZ/G2. But I will not put it here because it is not in XDA
Cheers

the guide that you mean is the guide i tested.
it says G2 - t-mobile \ HTC desire Z
i tried that guide and ended up with a G2 t - mobile rom , while i need a HTC sense stock rom , so that's a guide for G2 phones. and you also need S-On and as i can remember while u root u get S-off
my friend told me i could unroot my phone by simply re-installing 1.34 and then let it update ? , but the problem i have is it wont detect the 1.34 PC10IMG.zip package
, and yea i did rename it to PC10IMG , but it still wont detect it :/ , somehow i have a idea that my phone is damaged cuz of the t - mobile rom. because i had no root acces when it got installed so i had to reroot it to go back. previously before i installed the g2 rom accidently , i could go back to my 1.34 whenever i wanted , and now it isn't possible anymore since it will get stuck at the boot.
anyone know how to detect 1.34 PC10IMG? or how to atleast root my phone to HTC sense stock

[Q] HTC Desire HD Rooting problem

Hey Guys, I got my phone s-off'ed by a phone technician who used a tool to do it. My phone is running android 2.3.3 stock rom. I was just wondering if you guys know how I can root it? Also i am trying to flash my phone with mike's rom (Android Revolution HD) and I can't find the option to install rom from sd card for some reason :s
My first thread here guys so go easy please.
Thanks

just google or go to dev section... thr is a thread fr the steps
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App

Which version of 2.3.3?!! Check it...!!!
Then go to Desire HD Android Development part from this web site..!!!!
First search for downgrade...!! cause before doing that you can't setup any rom...!!!!
But cause it's S-off Check your phone before doing any work. Turn it off. Press volume down and power key...!!! then go to recovery mode...!!!! Check if it have choices like wiping data or install from zip card...!!! Don't do any job just check it...!!!!
It may be rooted righ now....!!!!!

In recovery mode it says on the top line S-Off. I can't find any way to install zip or wipe data on that menu. Does this mean that I have to downgrade and root? Or is there a root availble for 2.3.3 that has S-Off?

you have to downgrade first.
here's a guide.
goldcard needed only if your device is branded.
After that, you can root your device using this guide.

Don't lose hopes mate, read the forum and try to understand fundamentals. avoid doing things haphazardly.
