I've fully rooted my Desire with RUU. But I have a question now...
If I still can use RUU including higher firmware version to flash my device or not? If so if I need completely root my Desire again after using RUU?
Very appreciate any information you can give me
Thanks
An RUU is used to unroot your phone, and it's best to get the latest one to do this as otherwise it might not run
Thanks for your information.
So if I still want to keep my device fully rooted, how to upgrade to new firmware with offical ROM and where can I grab the offical ROM?
No, running an RUU will unroot you. If you're rooted you can't get official updates so you'd need to use a custom ROM based on the update
Thanks for your information
Why you want rooted phone if you don't want custom rom?
With custom rom you can get exelent performans and visualisation.
I use HD rom and it is exelent.

Hey,
i just downloaded the official 1.82.405.1 RUU for my permrooted Desire Z, it's factory unlocked, but will i be able to use this? it's an .exe file so i think that if i just run it it'll flash a stock rom, will it brick my phone because of clockworkmod?
thanks
Factory unlocked means SIM unlocked, which is not the same as rooted. You can use the official RUU as long as the CID matches your phone, or you have SuperCID after rooting. But you will lose root, and you cannot root without downgrading to the 1.34 ROM. Bottom line, if you want root, don't upate.
A better option is to flash a rooted version of it. Have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960149

Yes, that's true! Forgot about that, it was late at night and my mind was not functioning properly! Virtuous is as updated as you can hope in a stockish Froyo Sense ROM (a few extra features and some optimizations), and pre-rooted!
Desire is currently rooted and S-OFF'ed. Is it possible to "debrand" this way? Also this means I'll get the GB update (as I'm pretty sure VF won't release an update)
Thanks for any potential advice guys

It works on me.
I bought last year a HTC Desire from Vodafone, and rooted + S-OFF and i flash ruu for europe froyo 2.29.405 and now i`m expecting gingerbread.
Same think i made when i expect froyo update.

Yes, you can. But you need goldcard to avoid cid error and furthermore, you will loose root access and s-off. So imho it is easier, to flash one of the many custom sense roms with gingerbread you can find here. On this way you won't loose root access and s-off status, but you will have a gingerbread sense rom (which is what you want I guess).
or is there a easy way to unroot? I rooted via unrevoked......

There is no easier way to unroot as flashing a ruu, imho.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Ok so I guess if I flash the Voda RUU, the phone will have to do a few updates...... as the RUU is pretty old 2.1 I do believe...
if you instal the Vodafon RUU you will be branded again. And what is the point of unrooting? You can always find a rooted stock Rom, I am sure one will come out as soon as Gingerbread will be released.
And another problem would be if they release the update by IMEI and then if you are not at the original state of your phone you will not get the update even if not rooted.
True, best wait for a stock rooted ROM from here then and flash that via ROM manager

Please do not use rom manager, it is a horrible software which causes many heavy system problems here. Just do it directly from recovery.
Hi i have an HTC one x telecom NZ running stock JB 4.1.1 I just wanted to know if i can root it and will be able to install custom rom on it. I have rooted my htc one x before and trying installing cyanogen mod 10.1 but there are no ways to update to the higher hboot capable of installing custom roms as telecom firmware has a cid of TELNZ001. Many people have the same problem in NZ and are not able to install any other roms other than the original stock roms. Telecom NZ has finally pushed official JB update for HTC one x so i unrooted my device to receive the OTA update and it is running fine but the experience is still not that good with sence 4+ skin so i really want to run a custom rom. Anyone please help and suggest any ways i could install custom rom onto it. Also i am not really sure if rooting method is the same as when it was running stock ICS 4.0.3.
I truly appreciate all your help.
Rooting is still the same, and yes you should be able to run any custom rom out here. Make sure to make a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom. Because you have a rare CID !
i bought a verizon htc one and am using it in the simple mobile prepaid network. its on android 4.2.2 with software number 1.10.605.10. since i dont have a verizon sim it wont update to the latest jellybean ota. my questions
1) how should i start off rooting and s off it
i was thinking rumrunner----> change the tampered to unlocked-----> flash recovery twrp-----> flash stock +su
2) in the end i want the stock android 4.4 with sense 5.5 rom, the unlocked version
so should i first flash verizon software 2.10.605.10 ------> update the firmware via fastboot-------> flash the stock 4.4 unlocked edition rom
3)if i flash the verizon 2.10.605.10 will i lose touch control when coming from 1.10.605.10? then how will i be able to get to fastboot to flash firmware? or should i flash the firmware first then the rom?
4) can i flash the android 4.4 sense 5.5 rom for unlocked htc one taken from http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-stock-roms/android-4-4-kitkat-sense-5-5-stock-rom-for-htc-one/ . will it work in my phone?. i am not using verizon sim.
5) if i need to return my phone for warranty and need to be back in stock 1.10.605.10. how should i go about it?
is it
change from unlocked to locked ----> flash the ruu as rom.zip ------> change to s-on.
if i follow that method where do i get the 1.10.605.10 rom is it from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=248531 ?/
also if i flash the 1.10.605.10 rom, how will i flash the firmware back, since the newest firmware wont work on the old rom?
please do give me a reply. i have been searching the forums for replies and its all confusing.
thanks a lot

Do not update to 2.10.605.10 before you root. After you root flash that firmware.zip by @santod040
3)if i flash the verizon 2.10.605.10 will i lose touch control when coming from 1.10.605.10? then how will i be able to get to fastboot to flash firmware? or should i flash the firmware first then the rom?
Touch control? You should flash the firmware, then the ROM. Follow Santod's instructions about flashing firmware.
4) can i flash the android 4.4 sense 5.5 rom for unlocked htc one taken from http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-stock-roms/android-4-4-kitkat-sense-5-5-stock-rom-for-htc-one/ . will it work in my phone?. i am not using verizon sim.
Not sure about what that ROM is, but you could try Eclipse 4.4 and use the LTE switcher to change to a GSM network.
5) if i need to return my phone for warranty and need to be back in stock 1.10.605.10. how should i go about it?
is it
Use the revert to S-On thread
change from unlocked to locked ----> flash the ruu as rom.zip ------> change to s-on.
if i follow that method where do i get the 1.10.605.10 rom is it from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=248531 ?/
Look for the RUU
also if i flash the 1.10.605.10 rom, how will i flash the firmware back, since the newest firmware wont work on the old rom?
When you RUU it will revert everything.

Hi guys,
I just got an HTC 10 and i'm coming directly from the 'ol ONE S.
Questions are: I just want to install the latest MaximusHD rom on my device (I already unlocked it and installed TWRP). What can happen if i don't do the S-off with sunshine? Will I miss the opportunity to get OTA? What will happen when Nougat OTA is out? Without s-off can I still update the phone with the RUU and then install the latest nougat maximus?
Thanks in advance!!!
Nicola
You don't need S-off for any of that stuff.
Install Maximus, and when that gets updated to Nougat just flash the latest version. You won't get OTAs from htc anyway when on a custom Rom.
S-off is only needed for you if you want to downgrade your software to an older version through an ruu, or if you want to flash an ruu that wasn't made for your phone. You can still flash an ruu while s-on as long as it's made for your phone (mid) version and is at least at the same firmware version you are already at.
