hey guys,
i'm kinda new to whole android stuff - i have a desire HD stock ROM, no modifications. I'm really interested in flashing it to "android revolution 3.1". So, i read the guides about how to flash rom's.
My only open question is: How can i go back to stock ROM? The Desire HD is running 1.72 atm, and i maybe want to get back to it, if i'm unhappy with custom rom. I read about RUU, but i can't find a RUU for DHD 1.72. It's an unbranded DHD. Would be nice if someone here could help me.
greets!
afaik there are no 1.7x RUU's out.
the 1.7x was just a FOTA of the older 1.3x .
just get your (branded/notbranded) RUU of the 1.3x .
should be fine though.

I m sure you won't want to get back to stock after you get your hands on custom roms
But anyways you ll find 1.72.xx RUU here: http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
Plus you ll have a backup of your stock ROM before you flash a new rom. So should not be any problem anyway.

Hello,
I'm planing to root my desire and update it to 2.2. I've searched a bit, and found that people are taking about different versions of roms for desire. Which version is best? Where to get it from?
If i want to have version 2.2 do i have to root my desire to unbranded android 2.1 and then simply download android 2.2 or root it using 2.2?
Thanks for the reply in advance.

hello,
i think i need to make myself a bit clearer.
Currently i have HTC Desire with Tmobile software which is unlocked (sim-free). I would like to have unbranded android 2.2. I read a bit and understand that i need to root my device first, then i can put the unbeanded rom, is that correct?
Now, there is a lot of roms available, so which one i should use? Should i use 2.1 or 2.2 rom? Where can i get it from?
Thanks,
Wooju

this is a rooted originial HTC 2.2 rom. It is good for the beginning. And look at the description.. u will have to install the new Radio(Firmware) first. U can find the link in the thread.
U will have to choose if u want HTC-Sense and A2SD(ext3) and choose one of the roms available. I think they are all with Android 2.2
If you want a unbranded custom ROM you need to root your phone first, but if you just want the 2.2 update and doesn't mind the branding, there is an official update from HTC available.
I would recommend rooting your phone with 'unrevoked', there are plenty tutorials in this forum.
Which ROM to use is up to you. I use DeFrost without the sense UI.
Thanks for the reply. I just want to make sure, i root my device first, then load radio and then custom ROM?
x01a4, i uderstand that unrevoked is the program used to root the phone?
You know what would be cool?
It would be cool if you could extract sense 2.0 somehow and then build a rooted desire stock rom with that version or just a normal rom with a desire base kernel.
So us Desire owners could get our own desire build with sense 2.0 instead of the original sense 1.0
I know about the desire hd roms but thats not what i mean. I tried that.
they are fast but battery hungry. Im waiting patiently for a better build of a desire hd rom. but for now im just using the stock 2.29 rom because that ruu works. Im not using it because of the battery usage. :/
Anyway. Does someknow know where i can get the official stock rom 2.10.405 to my htc desire?
i have a ruu one already but it fails all the time while trying to install. The error 140 i think is a bootloader error.
and my desire isnt branded. Its a Normal HTC phone without a carrier.
Get 2.29.405.2 (the latest) from my signature and flash that if you want to go back to stock
Not cool. It would take hundreds of patches to make new Sense run on old framework and lib base. So either you use SenseHD, either you use old base. No other way
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Okay.
Well actually i want to get the latest sense 2.0 to my desire running without using much battery so fast.
its not quite useful as the phone will be a dead phone in the day because of battery consumption.
Thats why im asking. maybe flashing another kernel while running sense hd rom would solve the problem?. I wonder if it does. .
At the moment im running stock rom 2.29

Hi All,
I have finally after a couple of years decided to move away from the Apple iPhone and buy an Android handset. As such I bought the Desire HD which I absolutely love however I wanted to debrand it using the latest software.
What I did was use the Goldcard technique to Downgrade my phone. I did this succesfully and debranded my phone, however what I realised was that I am now running a older (debranded) software.
Can anyone please assist me by providing with me some steps so that I can flash my phone again with the latest stock HTC Desire HD rom (debranded - is there a link?) or a very stable new ROM? I wouldnt mind version 2.3 if its available... I'm with Vodafone Australia and this is a Vodafone handset.
I have been told that the Goldcard method isn't the best way to do it? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Please excuse my questions as I am very new and not very good with Linux. I am very technically minded so I can pick things up quickly but I need some guidance as I have no idea about half the stuff people talk about here....
If you want stock Desire HD rom, you can flash back the RUU (2.2 Froyo). If you like 2.3 Gingerbread, you can try Cyanogen Mod 7 custom rom.
But for the most stable & battery efficient , you can try android revolution hd rom, leedroid, core droid rom.
You can view the list of rom (and also step-by-step to flash it) at the development thread located here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=765

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
I used this guide to downgrade my Desire HD. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 - This debranded my phone which is what I wanted however I also realise it is not the latest build. Is this what you are you referring too when you say RUU 2.2 Froyo Rom?
If not, do you have a link to the one you are referring too?
That page you just linked to was for people who had the 1.72blahblah firmware, but wanted to downgrade to 1.32blahblah in order to root their phones.
The official firmware can be found on this page:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
...and the latest available firmware is this:
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe
thanks for that, now how do I flash this? I assume the same way I did it before?
With the stock RUU exes, you don't put them on your phone and flash via Clockwork (or whatever) like you do with custom ROMs. You run the exe from your PC with the phone connected via USB and HTC Sync.
There is a comprehensive guide somewhere on this site.
Hi,
I have rooted HTC Desire with latest version LeeDroid on it. I am not satisfied with this version of leedroid. It lags a lot. now i am thinking to try stock rom again. but the problem is if i use it then I wouldn't be able to use any other ROM because it would revoke its "root" status.
could someone suggest me any STOCK ROOT rom?
OR - Some clean rom with Sense ?
Teppic74's rooted stock ROM. Links to all roms here:

Hi,
I have HTC Desire HD mobile, with official HTC RUU ROM, I would like to root this device without losing this official release. Can anyone help Me in this?
As previous I installed other ROM, Revolution 7.1 , but My Camera Result was disturbed which I liked the most in DHD, so I revert it, and now I wanted root access in this Official Release,
as Ace kit is not working for this version, and force me to downgrade it first.
Advance thanks to you guys.
