Hi there,
I'm completely new to rooting and I want to know if there's a way of reverting back to what I'm currently using before I start to do anything with my Desire which is according to my software info screen:
Android version
2.2
Baseband version
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Build number
2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0
htc-kernel(at symbol)and18-2 #1
Software number
2.12.110.4
And as far as i can work out my T-Mobile Desire is a SLCD with PVT-4 with 2.2 installed. Also i dunno if this helps at all but its now unlock since i got a code from T-Mobile to unlock it.
There are ruu files all around this forum there are the key to a fully unrooted desire

There isn't, however, one for your ROM so it's a risk you take rooting that phone
After rooting, you can do a nandroidbackup, so you can go back to your original rom.

It'd still be rooted so wouldn't be stock
Thanks Eddy for the the straight answer, I suppose I'm gonna give it a little bit more thought first before i do anything and thanks again!

Hi guys.. I am new to the community. I have got a HTC desire and I wanna root it but I dont understand the whole root and modding stuff. So can someone pls explain it to me? Like whats the difference between rooting/ modding/ gold card? So to do some thing wat should I do first??
Step1--Goldcard?
Step2--Root??
Step3--Mod??
I read through the tutorial but there was too much info I dint understand. So can someone temme wat you did first or the steps you followed while rooting or modding your Desire? And which mod is good?? Thanks for helping
Edit- I have the Froyo OTA update
First off, why do you wanna root it?
Secondly, at this second, you can't root your phone due to the HBOOT. Once unrEVOked is back up this will sort it out. There is a way of downgrading your Desire to a lower HBOOT that can be rooted but if you're a n00b then it's probably best to either leave it or read a LOT until you're confident enough to try it.
Thirdly, a Gold card is needed if you want to flash a ROM other than the one that came with your Desire. E.g. I've got a SIM free Desire so I can only install official ROMs with an x.xx.405.x build number. If, for some stupid reason, I wanted to flash an operator specific ROM I'd need to use a Gold card. To check what you've got go to Settings>About phone>Software information
Thanks mate.. rooted my desire with unrevoked

Didn't fancy answering my questions then?
Hi
My Desire is rooted with unrevoked. Can I somehow backup my stock rom? I did nandroid backup and titanium but that is another story. I want to backup my stock rom because of warranty. On shiped-roms there isn't my RUU available. Also how do I know that RUU is for SLCD?
This is my version : SLCD
baseband version : 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
kernel version : 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c [email protected]#1
build number : 2.29.404.2 CL263770
I'm guessing you made a typo and you're on 2.29.405.2?
If so, just download the RUU for that version and you're sorted
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
OR (if not working)

I do not understand too good this. In menu-settings-about phone-software information is next :
build number: 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys
software number : 2.29.405.2
That doesnt match with my data in previous post. Is this because I rooted my phone?
No, it means you made a mistake in your previous post
Lol, I really did wrote down all specs before doing anything to my phone and doubleckecked. And backup. On two microsd cards. But It must be that. Anyhow thanx for links. I am now in peace.
Hi there,
I want to put the following RRU back onto my HTC Desire (back to it's original state from T-Mobile)
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.15.110.11_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122755
However i am currently on HBOOT 0.80
Do i need HBOOT 0.75 for this RRU? & if so how do i downgrade?
Regards
Phil
Use this one instead...

It's still a T-Mobile stock ROM but newer so will be fine
Thats the one i'm on now, but i want to downgrade to...

Tried Google, will have a look around, was hoping someone could help me on this forum, if you find the guide and link would be good
Thanks Phil
Have already followed

But i want to use RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.15.110.11_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122755
Which HBOOT version is needed for this RRU?
I found this guide on how to downgrade. You need to scroll down a bit.

Why do you want to go back? There's no benefit in doing so and T-Mobile don't need it back to 'how you got it' if you're returning it to them. So long as its on their FW they'd be fine
I want to go back so i can recieve the T Mobile Andriod 2.2 over the air update
you won't get it from being on 1.15...their sequential, you need 1.15 to 1.21 and 1.21 to get 2.2...I think it's been pulled at the moment though due to it having German apps
I thought it might be why i'm not recieving the 2.2 update. I have just rang T-Mobile and they said they will push it out to me. They release it according to when your phone was manufactured and said it could take up to a week from today, so will see what happens.
Before T Mobile released 2.2 (couldn't wait because they were taking too long! I rooted and went onto the...
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
I was then able to save apps to the SD card but i lost my Wi-Fi just kept saying Wi-Fi error.
So i downgraded and went back to...
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed
But have yet to recieve the T Mobile 2.2 update, which will now hopefully be this week sometime so hopefully i can save to sd card again and still have wi-fi working
Yea eddyos is right they might have pulled it. Try taking your simcard out and changing the date and going to settings about phone then check for software updates and see if that works. If not I'm sure there will be a manual ota update somewhere.

There's every chance the update is on the HTC server, someone could run that linux script that checks the server for updates (possibly - I don't know where it is on here)
I am a new one here,i want to unroot my desire ,however ,i don`t know how to do it. my desire is SLCD screen,the baseband is 32.44.00.32U-5.09.0530.2,anyone here can help me ?I really appreciate

Thanks. I brought it from Netherlands will it go some problem?
What's was software version running on your phone when you first got it? The baseband is the radio and isn't important (yet)
what are the benifits of unrooting the device?
- Clean slate to start again
- Returning handset under warranty
- Just using the phone as it is as rooting isn't needed for what you use your phone for (my option)
origanial 2.2
I can't update the OTA, so I try to recover but still have the superuser
can use the offical rom

This statement is as helpful as a chocolate teapot. What version number were you running, e.g. 2.10.405.2?
Without that we can't advise which stock RUU to flash to get back to working
my version number is 2.10.405.2 !!!
And that is what it came with out of the box? Or is that what it's saying now?
I just want to unroot my desire and back to original rom,could you give me a clean room to set?
Without knowing the ROM it was running ON THE DAY YOUR BOUGHT IT we cannot recommend which to use
I bought at september the rom is basic 2.2
But what was the software version on the day you bought it?? That is what I'm trying to find out!?!?! e.g. 1.21.405.2
software:2.10.405.2
build number:2.10.405.2 CL226611 release-keys
kernel version:2.6.32.15-g6a358a9
And that was it the day you bought it? If so, download the 2.29.405.2 RUU in my signature (click it) and just run that from your Windows PC with your phone connected in FASTBOOT
yes,thank you
Hi everyone,
Can someone kindly give me a hand rooting my Desire HD. I have installed Visionary R14 but everytime I click TempRoot is says "Rooting Device" and about 30 seconds later the screen goes black then Sense reloads but device still remains unrooted.
Am I doing something wrong or is there any other way to root the phone?
Many thanks,
Dan.
What is the version of the software in your DHD? You need to downgrade if it comes with version other than 1.3.xx
The software version number is 1.84.61.2. How do I go about downgrading? Where can I obtain the software from?
Sorry for the amateur questions...
How about doing some reading in the android development side The stickies contain everything you need to know. You can find a downgrade guide there.
yo, dr9722.
i just recently rooted my phone too.
1st - downgrade to 1.32 (since visionary doesnt work on your current firmware)
2nd - then root.
this video makes it really clear
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkbmKLCkDWg
and watch part 2 and 3, although i think part 3 is for installing custom ROM, but you can be rooted with your stock ROM, like me .
CodeNameUnknown, this is exactly what ive been looking for. Thanks very much.
Im not going to get a chance to give it a go until Tuesday but will post an update then. Thanks again.
your welcome

Downgrade, root, radio s-off, install WWE ruu.
Once u do that you lose root and recovery, so what u need to do is temp root and radio s-on.
And you should have a fully unbranded dhd

bought another G2 because mine broke. my old one i rooted with visionary, had S-OFF, but none of the OTAs. i know there have been other newer methods of rooting since when i first rooted back in 2010.
anyway, i found the HTC Vision guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD).
just wondering if its still the most current method to root or is there anything newer?
my phone info:
baseband
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
kernel
2.6.32.17-g9ab3677
[email protected] #1
build number
1.22.531.8 CL277427 release-keys
would i need to downgrade? thanks.
That's the one I used to root my G2 back in January but I'm not sure if there's anything newer. If you have Gingerbread then yes you have to downgrade to Froyo and then root.
the version of the android on this phone is 2.2 still, so i guess no downgrading.. good to know
Well actually I think you do still need to downgrade, there was more than one version of froyo, feel free to try without and if it fails then downgrade, really its less than 5min to go through the downgrade process so no big deal
