I hate to even ask this. I am betting this is one of those questions that gets asked a lot. I see RUU posted everywhere but have no idea where to get it or how to use it. I have read that it is a windows utility of some sort that will allow you to back up your phone and load new roms? I am guessing you would use it if you don't have a custom recovery? Is there a How-to somewhere?

RUU = ROM Update Utility
It updates your ROM the way the manufactures intended.

No I am not trolling. I actually did a Google search and searched this forum and still haven't found a link to RUU or a guide. What am I missing? Is it available to us?
ok...I have done some research. I need HTCSync. RUU will have the latest official rom. I simply need to run it. I still can't seem to find where to get the latest RUU. What am I missing. I have checked HTC site as well.
perhaps the Q&A section would be the best place to ask Q's and get A's...

The link is in the very first post on this forum.

this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 - has multiple RUUs, the one for 3.70 works thru windows w/o custom recovery, I can't speak to the others. if you're rooted you'll lose root...
Thread moved to Q&A.

Been looking for this everywhere. Was interested in running the RUU after trying the new root method, and then trying to Re-Root again. But i cant find the link to the 1.47.651.1 RUU anywhere. I know its out there, just looking for some one to point me in the right direction.
Much Appreciated.
This probably needs to be moved to q&a please...
Edit - I actually can't find that RUU anywhere. Not sure if there is one. Still looking though
move it to wherever you think it will get answered best. I thought the development section would be appropriate.
I dont get to move threads. Thats all up to the Mods, but I am working on finding that RUU right now.
all thanks goes to con - http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
OP - Why not just do a Factory reset and run the updater OTA?
Here you go

I want to make sure the RUU will upgrade for me if i'm running and older version.
Thanks everyone!
if you just want the OTA update just flash back to the stock rom and run the OTA update from there, then use the latest root method.
Ok... so there is some chatter as of late in the thread about "no known way to root 2.2" with regard to the goldcard.
There is no specific information in the list of things tried with regard to the goldcard method.
Considering this was one of the original ways to root... and that it supposedly bypasses signed checks, is there any reason why the gold card cannot work to downgrade the OTA 2.2? Or, if not downgrading, what about straight across with 2.2 rooted image on the goldcard?
Could someone give some specific details about what they have done with goldcard attempts so we know if this is a viable option or not?
Really?
No one knows?
http://www.knowyourcell.com/htc/htc-evo-4g/evo-4g-guides/463925/how_to_root_the_htc_evo_4g.html
This has been done before... has it been done since 2.2?
Hmmm looking into this now to see what can come of it. Will be getting a 2.2 evo from asurion anyday now.
And here is the info on how to make one...

I noticed that... but that's only because this was first done wat back in the day. That thread is reference to that time. There is no information in there about whether this has been tried with an image today. What I am wondering is... what happens if someone takes one of the new rooted roms and load those from the goldcard. That would re-grant root... then we should be back in business.
Anyone got anything on downgrading from the latest 2.3.3 to 2.2 ? time to root!!lol

as far as i know there is no way to do it. the only way i can think of that might remotely work is to use the ruu but i have no experience with it and have no idea if it will work/brick your phone. i would recommend googling it extensively before attempting the ruu method
nvm i lied dont attempt the ruu it wont work.

No. Nope. Negative.

friend need help i installed HTC Gingerbread which the up on developer website on 1st of aug. now i want to downgrade it to stock froyo.
how to do?
help
Oh i dunno maybe if you put this question in the right place then yes it would be answers for you..
There is a Q&A section for you to put this question in don't waste developers time and mods time by putting your question here. you will get flamed just a fair warning I'm not mad just saying...
Dont think its possible Teppic74's downgrader wouldn't work on the ARA build, so doubt it will work like this.

You should had to ask this in your mind before flashing an RUU that contain an hboot update!
Go to www.shipped-roms.com and find the froyo RUU and flash it, it should downgrade your hboot and you should be able to root again. If you have a branded desire you’re going to need goldcard.
I you dont know how to Flash a RUU use the search function

It's reported to not work! The new hboot does not allow to flash an older hboot.
An S-off could have protected him. Have you tried the new AlpharevX to try and S-Off ur device? If it works, you can reverse the process later.

The new s-off tool wont work, it says that your device is currently unsupported.

Try their irc channel as well. It could be a 'soft' incompatibility, wherein they've disabled it because they havent yet tested it.
Is there no other rootable rom of the same hboot?
1. wrong section
2. every time the same, people will first flash and ask questions later

My downgrade tool almost certainly won't work on this. However, if someone manages to root this version, there's a good chance it will.

Paul Obrien did. Someone might ask him how to
he also flashed the hboot that came with the update.

If I not wrong, was a temp root anyway. But if Paul flashed the new hboot, this is a good news for those that flashed it too. He will of course find the way to change rom

I agree as well, but in the meantime there possibly are a few thousand Desire users who want this problem solved. Another possibility is that people who waited for the GB-update want to root after this disappointing update. They also might be potential donators (including me), so please get root for the official GB-update up and running!
Thanks in advance!
Hello mates, i'm having the same issue, just want to downgrade back to froyo and i can't do it because of the hboot . i've tried with unrewoked, went to shipped roms but nothing succeded.. can you please, tell me if someone managed to fix it ? thanks.
I know its frustrating but you will probably have to wait, keep an eye on the Desire Android Development section, I'm sure when theres a fix the devs will post it up there for you

I wouldn't read too much into that necessarily. A post on this forum thought I was working on rooting desire 2.3
Unfortunately your link is in dutch, so I cannot see any "official Sources" in it.
Well I stand corrected.

Hi guys,
I'm in the process of selling my Desire, and before I do I want to wipe it, unroot, and return to a stock ROM. I thought the easiest way would be to just install the stock Gingerbread ROM from HTC's website but I can't seem to find it anywhere - it looks like htcdev.com has been updated as I can't find any reference to the ROM on it. Does anyone know where I can download it? Am I right to assume that it will unroot but NOT re-lock the phone?
Cheers,
Craig
Not sure if it will re-lock (but I doubt it) and best place to look is shipped roms. Com
And your looking for a wwe version but not having used it I am not sure or the whole name.
