Revert to stock question

Hi all,
Need to revert my phone back to stock 2.1, do you just download the stock rom and flash??
What's the difference between then signed and unsigned versions?
I don't have a goldcard, never made one, is that a problem. I am currently running clockwork mod with oxygen. I have not s-off'd the phone.
Any info would be great as I have to return it to three to cancel my contract.
Cheers

Do you know what ROM was originally on the phone? This should be the first thing anyone does before rooting so you can go back if you need to

H3G android 2.1. That's all I know.
Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Found an old post I made with some details about the original rom,
Radio 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09
Hboot 0.83.0001
Rom Stock 2.1 Update 1
I cant find this rom to flash back to stock, can only find the two H3G roms on the sticky.
Anyone got any ideas on this, need some help fast please.
Cheers
Blinky

did you keep the backup from when you first rooted your phone?

I did, but the sd card failed and I lost everything. Can I flash either of the stock roms or will one of them, or both, kill the phone?

If you are on 3 UK then you could use the newest 3 ROM from shipped-roms.com

Thats it? No need to use a goldcard (the one I dont have) just run the exe and it'll flash the rom, radio and be back to stock again?

How do I return Desire Z under warranty?

I have done S-OFF, PermRoot and currently overlocking on my unbranded European Desire Z, but I need to send it back to HTC to repair my phone with some hardware issue under warranty.
What do I need to do? I have seen some guides here but they are all for the T-Mobile G2, and am worried if I follow it it will brick my unbranded European Desire Z.

Just unroot and use an official image! Then everything should be fine.

BAD. NO. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Flash a stock rooted rom first, THEN follow unrooting steps. There's a thread around here somewhere.

It's only bad if you have S-OFF only via the eng hboot (not gfree), and if you are trying to downgrade your ROM.
If you have S-OFF via gfree then you're fine, just flash the stock ROM back on. Then undo gfree via its options to set S-ON (see the Wiki).

Unfortunately my phone used the S-Off and Root using the old 'hBoot' method I followed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9143423&postcount=3
So what should I do?

What ROM are you running exactly ? If you are still on the stock ROM, and you flash the exact same version back, it will be ok.

I've made no mods prior to this. It was a brand new Desire Z so it was all stock.
Then I did the following:
Rooted and s-off via engineering hboot
Installed Visionary and applied Permroot
Installed ROM Manager for Clockworkmod
Flashed gtrab's godspeed 1.4ghz module via Clockworkmod
How should i go about this now?
Thanks.

i believe steviewevie already gave you the answer.
and to protect everyone here -- nobody is responsible for any problems should you have any - only you are.

You sure about that, Sherlock?

I'm not trying to hijack your thread so please know that but I want to make sure. I thought I could just use the unroot thread to unroot (thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835971) should I need to but it seems as if I need to flash a rom now looking in this thread so just to make sure:
1) I rooted my phone via this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833965
2) I installed clockwordmod and made a backup.
That's it! I'm going to freeze some apps in a min using Titanium but not uninstall them.
SO... question is, should I need to send my G2 back, what unrooting steps should I take exactly? thanks!
*edit* Ummm MORON* (me) this thread is for the Desire Z NOT G2 which is the phone I am talking about. Sorry, smh! *

howto flash radio, after rom install

Hi,
At this moment i'm running a rooted HD, with the revolution HD rom.
But I never flashed the radio, and now I want to flash it to the radio that is recommended for revolution.
I noticed that mine HD is nog ENG s-off, so I tried it with the easy s-off tool
But when i try the easy s-off tool, it says wrong kernel / rom.
How can i flash it? Do i need to get a stock kernel (and from where?) or is there another way to do ENG s-off ?

You are supposed to read and search through the forum before asking any question! Here is the guide for flashing the radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
Which version of the stock ROM are you on? The easy s-off tool works like a charm.
Any plans of installing custom ROMs? Try flashing a new radio after that... ARHD2.0.9, for example, is an awesome ROM. You will not only be able to get more out of your DHD but also have complete control over it!

Sorry, but there was too many information
But i did it, thx.
The only problem i got now, is that my Gapps wont install ?

Gapps are bundled in ARHD roms so you should not have an issue here.

[Q] About flashing back to stock rom

Hi guys, just a few questions.
1) Requirements for warranty is it just unroot it? or do i need S-On for my device?
2) Is it possible for me to use the stock rom i backed up to revert back to stock? and does that means its free to go for warranty after flashing back? Do i really need to use the RUU version stock rom?
Just these questions for the moment.
Any kind souls to help? Thanks alot!

If your device is not bricked, you need both S-On and Unroot.
If you have done Radio S-Off and Root, it is easy, just run an official RUU and you will be back to stock
If you did Eng S-Off... well that complicates things a bit and you have to use Jkoljo tool if you used to achieve Eng S-Off (I don't know about any reversing any other method), just hope you kept your Hboot backup (the one that the tool made) on the root of your SD card.
Hope that helps.

Yup, so i have an eng s-off, radio s-off and rooted device.
Does that means i need to use that Jkoljo tool you mentioned to remove eng s-off and then run an official RUU to get back to stock?
and the hBoot filename is something like this?
"hboot_original.bin"
Thanks alot for the reply here =)

The steps you should do are like this.
1. Run the 1.32 RUU and then Re-root + Radio S-Off
2. Run Jkoljo tool and reverse Eng S-Off
3. Re-Run the 1.32 RUU and you should be back to Stock with Eng S-on and Radio S-On.
PS. if you are using a branded handset you should set back the CID to the correct number (Cannot remember exactly how, but Jkoljo thread should have some info)

Ok. I get it now! Thanks alot! =)
One last question. Branded handset means?

Like carrier branded (aka locked handset). You know like Orange/Vodafone locked DHDs where they have custom RUUs and CIDs.

Hi
Once you root your phone, you can flash any rom. Which hboot are you on ?
This will make it easy for you to search the right ans.
I suppose u have hboot 1.01.002..
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app

Hi,
Thanks for reply. Yes you are right the hboot is 1.01.002
Radio is 3.35.20.10
Is it possible to root this?
Other details are:
baseband version: 13.55.55.24h_3.35.20.10
Kernel version : 2.6 32.21
Software number: 2.25.720.1

Yes its possible, I had the same.
Go to htcdev.com and unlock ur bootlaoder, no downgrade needed..instructions are there on the site as to how to unlock it.
Use gingerbreak or z4root or 1click root or any such tiny app and you will be rooted.
