Trying to find a stock, unrooted 2.1 or 2.2 image for a US Cellular CDMA Desire, for warranty. I have been lookin for a couple days and have yet to find. Found several links on the xda forums but they were for rooted or nonstock images.
Didn't find one other than verizon's on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Search function on the forums has not been workin for me as well, always get a temp. unavailable error, so please no search flames..
Thanks for any help here
You can get the stock 2.2 ruu off the USCC web site

Yep sure is, installed and works great (for stock). No issues no glitches, thanks for getting me in the right direction.
I would like to find a stock 2.1 to downgrade my Desire with to get it rooted. Anyone got one of those? I have found stuff, but none of it will work with the CDMA version.

you don't need to downgrade to root. Use unrevoked.
Unrevoked will not work on 2.2 CDMA Desire unless it was already rooted on 2.1 before 2.2 was installed

Yep, that's why I am looking for a way to get back to 2.1. I would do it the gold card way, but it seems to only work on non-cdma phones for the desire.

Anyone find a stock USCC 2.1 ruu yet?
I upgraded to 2.2 and would like to go back to 2.1 but can't find anyway to do so yet.

Yeah I saw that but haven't heard about anyone actually trying it on a USCC phone and what the effects are.
Thanks though
I picked up a Desire yesterday to try to start work on it also. I've been doing dev work on the Mesmerize since it came out and also for the Showcase (Cellular South).
Not that you guys probably care, but I'm a USCC Engineer and have access that has helped me out a lot to get the Mesmerize to where it's at today (of course with lots of help from other devs on the Fascinate side as well as the new guys with me). Unfortunately, things aren't as plentiful in the HTC firmware bin or I would have brought a 2.1 RUU over here a long time ago. On the Samsung side, if a customer brought a phone in to the store and had jacked it up, the in store tech had a stock image of the 2.1 firmware that he/she could flash back on the phone and it would be restored to it's factory state and the customer would be sent on their way. With the Desire, this doesn't seem to be the case. There was no factory image to flash to, so phones were swapped and sent in for repair.
I'm sure that the guys from unrevoked will probably figure this out before I even come close, but I just wanted to pop in and say hey and let you know that you have a friend on the inside (probably not the only one) that's working on things also. Feel free to hit me up. I'm always available for questions, comments, and suggestions.

Here are the HTC 2.1 Hero files.
These are not the OTA files. these are the signed RUU.exe files from HTC. This should help for people that are looking for these files.

thanks for sharing!
Just to further say, although this will just get ignored.
If you run one of these RUU's you will not only lose root, you will lose the ability to root ever again.

I know people who changed ROM via OTA to 2.1 and back to the 1.5 by flashing extracted parts of RUU via fastboot
The rom put out ota and the ruu are not quite the same rom.

Any idea on difference?
What one is better?
I believe HTC made some errors that could cause problems in the ota.
The actual roms itself are the same, however the RUU is harder/impossible to root.
Stupid question... but I wonder if these have the missing G-sensor calibration from the OTA's? (probably not)
thanks for the files! def needed these
I've tried the wwe one but I have a custm id error. What can I do now?
Thanks for these, exactly what I needed. Bought an import phone from China with the localized apps/language settings which I wasn't particularly fond of (Already 2.1 unrootable). Not too fussed about root just yet really
Hi!!
Can any1 please "RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_India_3.31.720.2_R_Radio_63.18.55.06O_6.35.15.01_release_signed.exe" root this and convert to update.zip so can be used on rooted Hero?

No it does not have G-sensor calibration.
But I must say, that after a day or so I'm impressed with this ROM. Wether it will be rootable in the future or not is another issue, but for now it's working very very nice. Speed & Battery is better than any of the custom roms I've tried (pretty much every rom there is...)
I'm looking for RUU HTC Hero Asia SEA 3.34.707.1. Does anyone have it? Does anyone know where to get it?
I am also lookign for RUU HTC Hero Asia SEA 3.34.707.1 I bought my phone from Malaysiya so I think Asia HK will not go directly withou gold card
I just used HK version and it goes directly to my malasian phone ))
I've had a decent search around the other threads, and I can't find an answer for my question.
I have what I believe to be, an unbranded Desire, supplied directly from Vodaphone 1 week after launch. It boots up with the HTC logos and makes no reference to Vodaphone. The phone was never locked to Vodafone as I am able to use a Three sim to make calls and browse the web after I updated the APN settings.
I did receive an OTA update from Vodafone, a couple of weeks after I bought it, and I'm now wondering if Vodafone have "branded" it behind my back.
I would rather not go through the process of de-branding if it is already de-branded!
For the sake of my sanity, please help.
Check if you have a scene called 'Vodafone' if you do it is branded, like mine
I bought my desire in switzerland, it's unbranded and I receive the ota updade few minutes ago, its working very well. Be patient.. But depending from where your desire came, you will need to wait more.. This upgrade only apply for european country, not chinese or other places where desire is available.

I have no chance to make a gold card though, I have only one microSD..the one in the ****ing phone.
Hello,
Can I not root using the 1 click unrevoked method and then just flash the official ROM?
I don't care about rooting though. I would rather to use the official ROM.

If you have the Official 2.1 ROM, then you can use unrevoked method for rooting.
Otherwise, if you are updated to 2.2 through OTA, then you can't.

Hi, I'm with Virgin Mobile and I own a HTC Desire. I'm sick of waiting for the 2.2 Froyo Update. Anyone got any inside info on when they are going to roll it out? Also I like the idea of Rooting my phone to escape Virgins' hold over me, but am terrified of Bricking it. Is there a link to an 'Idiots Guide' of how to do it, or do I have to jump back and forth between posts and cut and paste my own guide? Thanx for listening, Rob.

Hi, If you just need the Froyo update, you do not need to 'ROOT'! There is a wealth of information on how to go about it. If you have not already found out what to do, check out the various relevant posts. unless you are ABSOLUTELY SURE as to your requirements, it is worth your reading a few comments to know the consequences of the various procedures.
To start you off, this is one of the most straightforward manual Froyo update prceedures i've come across. I'm not yet able to post live links here so just cut and paste, or navigate to: 'androidforums.com/htc-desire/148932-froyo-ruu-update-available'.
It includes simple instructions. You'll need to create a "gold card" to perform the procedure.
I hope this helps.
Please post your progress just to let the forum know how you got on
Or you could just root and flash one of the many Froyo roms on here and be happy! Takes 15 mins to sort out with Unrevoked 3.
Thanks 842m8s, I'll get straight on it and let you know as soon as. I rooted my Desire today before I read your reply and tried to flash a custom ROM. The rooting worked fine but after flashing ROM the phone just kept re-booting. Minor panic until Nandroid saved me with recovery image. Phew. I'll go slow now. Will try your method tomorrow. Thanks again. Rob

Hi SBdags, I tried Unrevoked 3 and it just kept rebooting. 3 times I tried. Had to re-root and use nandroid image to recover. Followed these instructions to the letter. Hemorrdroids.net/one-click-root-thanks-to-unrevoked. Will try again if I can't find more simple method. Thanks, Rob.

Help i'm rubbish at this
Hello again, I just made a gold card with a 1 gig SanDisc. When I put it in the Desire it said it was damaged. Is this normal? I doubt it somehow. I formatted it to fat 32 with Windows and it seemed fine then. Bloody Phones, I love em. Should I have formatted the card inside my Desire instead of with windows? I tried to reformat and start again but Windows said the card is now 'Read Only'.

Hi, Everything now sorted. Gold Card worked. Flashed 2.2 Froyo successfully. Can't thank you all enough. Excellent site and members, I think I'll leave well alone for now. One question though. Will I still get updates from Virgin, or will I have to revisit XDA when next update occurs? All the best, Rob.

I'm pleased you got sorted, well done!
With regards to Froyo, as you are now sporting stock HTC Bravo Froyo firmware, your 'de-branded' phone can now only get OTA upates from HTC same as any un-branded Desire, and for now, to install these, I believe you will still need the gold card you created for future Froyo firmware update installations.
Maybe someone else can confirm that.

Hi again, I should add that my comment in my prevoius post to you is based on the assumption that you flashed with Stock HTC Bravo Froyo ROM and are un-rooted. If you rooted, and you install stock, you will lose root. To retain root, you'll need to follow whatever process your ROM release source dictates. Rooting is not something I claim to have a lot of experience on so again, maybe someone else can elaborate on this. There is a wealth of info on rooting related issues at this site, so just browse!

Thanks... I have seen that. Unfortunately that doesn't work for the US Cellular Desire that wasn't rooted when it was running 2.1. There are many of us that are in this situation... we updated to 2.2 and now want to root but are unable to.

Well, I guess I should ask because someone may know something I dont... is there anyone with a US Cellular Desire who has successfully rooted, using the above method, a 2.2 that did NOT have root with 2.1?
I am in the same boat. It would be awesome to have S-ON also when S-OFF is available. S-ON was never available on the CDMA version of the Desire.
Anyone?? Can anyone help??
I am having the same problem, have looked everywhere and can't find anything.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Same situation here. Need to root my Lady's phone But I upgraded to 2.2 for her before rooting. Tried UnrevoKed to no Avail.. Gold card crap seems like a lot of work and may not work for this. Anyone that could throw us A bone would be GOD!!
P.S.
Anyone that could do a Desire HD Rom Port to Desire CDMA would be Titts!! Thanx in advance!
I am in the same boat as everyone else, can anybody help? When we updated to 2.2 it gave us hboot 1.06 and nothing seems to root that. I'd even be willing to do a gold card to downgrade, but I don't know if that works on CDMA phones. Can't find anything that says one way or the other, does anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance!
Ditto here too. I just want to uninstall all the bloat ware and permanently fix the audio issue with Rhapsody. I could care less about doing the s-off fix, and I would unroot it as soon as I uninstalled all the crap on it. I was going to do the gold card downgrade but it says it won't work on CDMA phones. Ugghhh...
Yeah me to PLEASE!!. THX _Tom
Anyone!????????
Really? 320 views so far and there isn't one person on this forum that is capable of helping us with this?
I am not sure there is much love for cdma phones on only the us cellular network. I hope someone can help us out. I am willing to help anyway I can.
Couldn't you just find a stock img and flash that from fastboot?
Or a stock nbh?

The only luck I have ever had was on the unrevokedtest channel via http://webchat.freenode.net/ Maybe if a bunch of us start asking about it we can get somewhere.
Unrevoked has been pretty unhelpful on this. It says on the IRC chat not to ask about anything with hboot 1.xx I don't know if maybe their particular hack doesn't work on these newer versions or what.

okay. let me tell you now, I have searched for months and months to find info about these nex-tech desires and have found very little. i hope you made a nandroid before you rooted, because in most cases, thats the best option unless you have some sort of dire need to unroot. and the only solution ive found, is that if you want a full stock RUU, it wont be from nex-tech. it will be either a US Cellular RUU or an Alltel RUU. i can post the links for each one. i used the alltell one, hoping it would clear **** out and give me a fresh phone. but for whatever reason, it still didn't do what i needed. hahaha. so i can assure you that they aren't some b.s. links.
