Hello,
I have a recently purchased Desire from 3 Moblie UK.
Bravo PVT4 20000 erasesize
FROYO 2.2
HBOOT .93
Baseband version - 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
I have installed Unrevoked 3.31 and Clockwork recovery mod.
All went as expected and I have successfully tested Oxygen gingerbread roms.
I have installed a backup using clockwork to restore my stock 2.2 sense ui etc - also completed fine.
Now I am trying to return totally to stock - unrooting and removing clockwork from the recovery loader.
I have tried:
PB00IMG.zip v3 leak (placed in root of sd card)
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release ( i extracted the rom.zip and placed in the root of my sd card)
upon booting into recovery mode it says both of these are unsuitable.
Can anyone point me at a ruu that should return my phone to stock?
Thanks!
There aren't any recent 3 UK RUUs available, you could use a gold card to flash the 2.29.405.5 one but 3 might not fix it as it's on a different ROM.
The problem you have is being on a PVT4 HBOOT you're going to have an SLCD and the 3 UK RUUs about are for AMOLED only
So am I effectively stuck rooted and therefore also going to be unable to use OTA updates?
Yes but custom ROMs will be updated to newer builds as and when they are available
Why do you want to go back to stock? Only reason would be for warranty returns

Exactly that reason. I don't need to warranty but I'd like to know I have that option. That and just for the 'because' of it.
Anyone ever get the answer to this?
ie ruu that works with pvt4 - 2.3.3 wwe leaves much not working.

Hi everyone,
I've just got a brand new Desire from O2 Ireland (branded) with HBOOT version 0.83. I tried to root the device using unrEVOked. It partially worked...
I have superuser permissions on my apps menu. However, I can't get into recovery. When I try to get into recovery, the screen just goes black.
I believe this may be something to do with possibly having a new SLCD screen, which causes black screens.
Does anyone know if it's possible to root this new HBOOT 0.83 phone? Can I install a recovery that works, or at the very least revert to stock recovery?
And if it's not possible to root at all, can I upgrade to stock android 2.2. (O2 Ireland haven't released the update yet; checking for updates in the phone results in it saying there are no updates available, even thought the phone is running Android 2.1)
Thanks in advance for any help.
unrevoked doesn't really support hboot 0.83, as you have found.
You cannot recover to stock O2 firmware because there is no available RUU recent enough for SLCD phones. You will need to use this RUU with a goldcard:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
From this you can upgrade to stock FroYo OTA.
Unrevoked works with 0.83 + 2.1 just fine, after you root the only problem is that the recovery screen is black. The recovery is working, the only problem is that the kernel in it doesn't support the SLCD.
I have patched the recovery with the latest version of teamdesire's kernel and it works fine on SLCD devices. You can find it here: http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
It is flashable with unrevoked.
EDIT: this is a temporary fix until koush updates the kernel in recovery.
Yeah, I meant to say SLCD phones not 0.83 hboot.
Thanks for the quick response guys
I just tried installing that new recovery and it seems to work perfectly! Thank you so much!

Short version: Anyone know how I can replace ClockWorkMod Recovery with the stock 2.2 Incredible recovery? I need to take my phone to the shop, and that's the last nonstandard thing I have. I'm back to S-On using the Unrevoked S-ON tool.
Long Version: My phone's internal speaker stopped working after the 2.2 OTA. I was rooted/s-off before the update, but flashed the stock 2.1 recovery to apply the official OTA when Verizon notified me that it was ready. After I applied the OTA, my phone's internal speaker stopped working.
I flashed back to factory 2.1 via this thread: showthread.php?t=757927 (can't post the full link, for some reason, but it's on XDA-Dev), then applied the May OTA, after which point the internal speaker still worked. I then applied the Froyo OTA again (using the official update.zip) and the internal speaker stopped working again.
At this point I decided to just take it in to the Verizon store. I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery so I could use Unrevoked's S-On tool. At this point I have stock Froyo, S-On, but ClockworkMod Recovery. Any idea how I can revert to the stock 2.2 recovery? Reinstalling the factory 2.1 image failed because it's an older version and I'm S-ON. I just need the factory recovery so I can take it into the shop.
Can I just flash a stock recovery using PB31IMG.zip? Can clockworkmod replace itself with stock? Should I just go back S-OFF and reflash the factory 2.1? Do they even check S-OFF? Do they even check the recovery partition?
Flash s-off back and follow the tutorial to downgrade to stock 2.1
They don't care if you have froyo or not.
Once you have 2.1 back, you can flash s-on
Good luck

Hi guys,
(I've searched through the forums loads BTW - but may have missed something. So just point me in the right direction - thanks)
I recently got myself the Desire HD and Rooted with VISIONary, I then used the scripts at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835746 to obtain S-OFF Successfully. At this point I installed ROM Manager and flashed ClockworkMod to the recovery, and then tried out a few of the chef's specials here. Everything was backed up after Root and S-OFF as I needed CWM in the recovery to perform the backup.
1) The question is how do I restore my DHD to factory state?
I know I can revert the root with VISIONary in-app, so my main concern is getting the original recovery image back on to the phone and applying S-ON.
I think I can flash using an RUU to restore the recovery image - but I don't want to choose the wrong one to invalidate any warranty and it's not clear if this restore S-ON. My operator is Orange UK, and I found some RUUs on a thread that linked to http://xdafil.es/?path=DesireHD
I downloaded: RUU_Ace_Orange_UK_1.40.61.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_157531_signed
Here are the necessaries:
Rom Manager 3.0.0.1
ClockWorkMod Recovery: 2.5.1.3
Baseband V.
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel
2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
Build #
1.32.405.6 CL278359 release-keys
Software #
1.32.405.6
The RUU I downloaded seems to have the same radio, but higher build/software number, although mine says ...'eU' rather than just 'e.'
2) How is it possible that's a later build number when there were no updates available before I rooted/S-OFFd etc?
3) Will I still receive OTAs if I flash this?
Thanks in advance guys!

Go to the radio thread in my sig, do Radio S-OFF (yes, S-OFF), and then follow the instructions to go back to stock.
So I'm very confused about this rooting business. I am scared to root my Desire, mostly because of bricking my phone and losing the warranty but I need more battery as it sucks and Gingerbread is ever so tempting . I basically want to root my phone and flash gingerbread with the possibility of over/underclocking it when I feel the need.
This is what it says when I boot holding the power and volume key in:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.10.05.30
I bought it from Orange brand new and it's got froyo 2.2, software number 2.17.61.3 on it.
Basically all I want to know is will using unrevoked work, or do I need to mess around with a goldcard etc and what are the advantages to making the device S-OFF?
unrEVOked will root it, no issues, but you won't be able to go back to stock as the Orange RUU isn't available so you'll need a gold card if you need to need to go back to stock (which would have to be a non-Orange one)
Don't worry about S-OFF at the mo as that's a lot more technical than rooting
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated
Ahh yes I've noticed that pretty much all other competing carriers RUU's for the desire are available to download except Oranges, why is this?
If I was to flash Gingerbread, I would need to flash the recovery to clockworkmod and perform a nandroid backup and then proceed with flashing the Gingerbread ROM, is this correct?

The recovery is ClockworkMod, if you nandroid first, then factory reset wiping all caches then installed your ROM you'd be fine. If you wanted to revert back to your stock ROM I'd suggest using your stock RUU which will wipe off the root, re-root then nandroid back and you'll be as you were.
Maybe you could just install a custom Sense ROM then run your Sense nandroid on top of that, but the safest thing to do would be to use the RUU.
Has anyone S-OFFd with Revolutionary yet?
I just did my phone which worked fine, but it bombed out when i said 'yes' to download recovery image.
I did my phone and another with AlpharevX which I'm pretty sure was almost exactly the same thing, but with fewer supported handsets.
S-OFF'd day of released without any hiccups, I opted out of flashing CWM.
quick question as i don't want to start a new thread.
phone is now rooted and has cwm 3.0.0.5, does it need to be flashed back to stock in order to run revolutionary?
hboot is 093 which is required for the desire if i remember correctly

You just need stock rooted rom (no a2sd, d2ext)
Yeah I also just used revolutionary, works great and gave me no fuss.
Also s-off'edwith revolutionary, was done in less than a minute.
(it was so fast i had to check twice before i was certain it was s-off )
already had a recovery so i skipped that one.
What's the best thing to do if your device has an older HBOOT? I'm at 0.75 I think! Should I use AlphaRev, or upgrade to a more recent RUU to update the HBOOT?
Currently I'm S-OFF using Alpharev 1.8. What is the advantage of Revolutionary on the Desire? Support for the GB update?
you dont have to s-off again with revolutionary when you are already s-off.
