I have a Desire HD and to try fixing my poor gps I installed an older ROM (1.32), to see if that makes any difference. I didn't...
Now I want to send my phone to HTC for repair, but I want to do a factory reset first.
The problem is that it won't reset. I can select the reset, click through the warnings and the phone resets, but it simply restarts.
When I try to reset in the bootloader, the same happens.
Can anyone give me some tips?
In order to install an older ROM, I had to root my phone. Unfortunately, I can't remember the precise steps I followed to root it.
I tried some methods (psneuter/Visionary/ClockworkMod), but I can't tell which eventually did the trick.
Please help!
So you already tried flashing a stock RUU? 1.32 or 1.72 This should be the easiest way to reset your phone including unrooting etc. You can find these here Stock + RUU
Another way if you still have CWM installed and root / s-off / eng-off, you can use fullwipe.zip. easy wipe
But you need a ROM to install from your SD card.
You better go back to a stock ROM before sending in your device, warranty issues!

I just installed the newest stock ROM, and it works like a charm!
Thanks for the tip. Guess I didn't search the forum hard enough
No problem!
You're welcome!

Few Days ago , I installed unrevoked 3 and was working fine. I installed a custom kernel to get above 998mhz overclock.
I noted my wifi is unable
User Permissions still there and not move.
I would like remove the superuser and everything to get factory reset.
** I DID A FULL WIPE DATA AND HARD RESET AND NOTHING STILL THERE***
SOME OF YOU WILL SAY I NEED RESTART AND THAT IT, BUT NEED TO KNOW UNVEROKED 3 IS NOT A .APK , UNREVOKED 3 IS OTHER METHOD BY USB
ALSO I INTALLED HTC SYNC AND GOT THE FIRST RUU 132.651.1 AND DID THE STEP TO GET FACTORY AND GIVE ME ERROR 171 AND ERROR 140
I READ FORUMS AND FOLLOW INTRUCTIONS AND NOTHING. HOPE GET A SMART ANSWER TO GET MY PHONE BACK TO FACTORY AND GET WIFI.
i went to settings- application -manage apllication and tried remove manually thre super user and dont let me. show as factory, doesnt give me the option to remove. Obviosuly doesnt show unrevoked. apk because Unrevoked 3 is other method by usb NO .apk
The same thing happened to me.
There could be an easier way to remove it, but I used the RUU 1.46 update.\
It wiped everything off the phone.

How long ago did you do this? And did it work for you?

Hi I'm also curious did flashing the 1.47 ruu rom unroot it?! And how would I do it!? Thanks
I rooted my EVO then used unrevoked-forever. My first ROM was Fresh 1.0 and flashed several more of the Fresh ROMs to the current 3.3.0.1 level. I am now unable to flash any ROM without a continuous boot-loop, none, not even a clean Fresh. I wiped, deleted both caches, everything I could think of. I've used both RA and Clockwork. I tried to un-root my phone but I could never get the S-ON after maybe 20 tries. So I tried to Root my phone again... that didn't work. I tried to load the HTC OTA rooted-odexed-netarchy-signed file... still a boot-loop. I am able to use the phone in all capacities including the Market and 4G. I seriously need help. Please as many people as possible give me some suggestions because I'm stuck and it doesn't feel very good. Thanks
Have you tried a stock PC36IMG.zip? Use the one from this THIS THREAD, it's already rooted so you won't have to root again. Try that, if it doesn't work try running a RUU.
thanks MetalHead - got it going. Thanks... I'm grateful. I tried PC36IMG.zip but it didn't work. The RUU, latest version did the trick.
Hello Folks,
today the Touchscreen of my DHD stopped to work completely. Its fully unrooted,and right at the Moment i use LeedDroid 2.2.2.
My DHD was sold from O2 Germany...
Do i have the chance to unroot it fully without Touchscreen? I am able to boot my DHD into CWM.
Or maybe someone has another Tip what i can do in that Situation?
Many thanx in advance...
try a wipe (factory reset), and if that doesn't help flash the rom again.
If the hardware is dead you can flash back to stock via ADB.
ex here but via ADB:

Go in the ROM thread in the stickies and check the guide to install custom ROM.
Then redo on the other way (it's explained).
Of course if the previous post works (wipe+fresh install) it's much better
Factory-Reset and Installation of a new Rom i already tried with no success.
And i think a Flash-Back of Stock wont be a Problem... The Problem is,that i now cannot change the Super-CID...
Any other Tips?
I've read answers saying it doesn't but I just want to be sure it won't on my Stock Froyo Desire?
It's become unresponsive and I've cleared as much off as I can (e.g - Apps/Cache etc...).
Thanks.
A factory reset will erase all settings and installed applications but does not touch the ROM itself. If you're rooted before the reset you will also be after.
Thanks. Just the answer I wanted. I thought that would be the case but wanted to check.
First of all, yes, I am an idiot, and yes, I have looked through the forums but just have to make sure I am downloading the correct thing.
So, a while ago, I rooted my t-mobile galaxy s3.
Today, I wanted to download a root-compatible app, it didn't work, turns out that my root somehow became disabled ( I might have accidentally wiped the superuser binaries)
So, I try to re-root my phone...several times. I finally think I have it rooted (using the official xda guide on how to root), and everything was fine, until i try to use superuser and it turns out that I am not rooted...for whatever reason. I do a hard reset a couple of times, it still shows that I am running alternate software and cannot update. I try to flash a stock rom to my phone, and that just simply fails on odin.
Now, I have completely formatted the SD and internal storage (probably very stupid), and I am just wondering how I could possibly flash a stock rom onto my phone, and if you could please link one because I believe the one I tried was not for my device.
If not, please provide some suggestions on what I should do. My device works, so it's not really time-sensitive, but I do want to re-root my android after I revert to stock roms, properly this time.
Thank you for your time and help!
