There is pretty much a dead spot on my desire screen so I have to send it away for service so. What is the easiest way to do it?
Thanks in advance.

It depends of course what you have done with your phone, but if you have installed a custom rom, here is a guide to get back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864054
Here is also a little shorter version from jkoljo's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=857537):
"To go back to S-ON:
•Flash stock ROM (RUU)
•Temproot using Visionary
•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
•Enjoy your factory-state phone"
And here is the RUU for Telus DHD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932771 (Notice that I'm not sure if this is the recommended version for your phone but this is the only one I could find with a quick search)

#1 Flash stock ROM (RUU) This one>>>RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
#2 Temproot using Visionary
Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
and that's it? Is this right?
Crap
I did it and now i got the white HTC screen AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It said error 103: model id ERROR
IM POOPING my pants right now.......Helpppppppppp
What the heck are you trying to flash HTC Bravo RUU, we are using Ace here. Get the right RUU, and it will work. There is a stock ROMs thread in android dev subforum.
Sorry
I apologize for my amazing stupidity.......i got the right one and it worked flawlessly......THANK YOU SO Much for taking the time to help me.
I will try hard not to be a total noob next time.
Hello,
My desire hd's volume button broke.
So I wanna go back for warranty.
I still have a stock 2.2 rom rooted. I backupped it before I flashed a custom one.
If I restore that, and then update to official 2.3. Will it then unroot and go back to factory ?
Or how do I unroot ? And get S-on ?
Anyone help pls, I'm going back to the store tomorrow .
Thanks

Flashing your custom ROM will not remove ENG S-On, S-Off or Unroot.
Read jkoljo's Thread here: [TOOL][VIDEO] One click Radio S-OFF, SimUnlock (Easy Root & S-OFF Guide)
To go back to S-ON:
Flash stock ROM - Make sure it's named "PD98IMG.zip" & place on SDCard
Boot Bootloader & it will check for the PD98IMG.zip file, and ask if you want to install, Yes. Follow the promps. After boot.......
Temproot using Visionary
Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
Enjoy your factory-state phone
Just follow his guides exactly, and you will be right. Flashing the RUU will remove root, restore stock HBOOT, Radio & Recovery, but does not remove S-Off, so that's why you use Visionary for temp root & use the tool after.
When done, don't forget to remove Visionary & Superuser
Hope it work out OK.
EDIT: Didn't read your post properly. By flashing your backed up stock ROM, I pretty sure you will still have the HBOOT, Recovery, Root etc. Can't yet find a stock 2.2 RUU that will remove those (when flashed).
Maybe you'll find the answer in one of jkoljo threads.
Found the answer your looking for
Instructions on how to restore branded backup, and do s-on
Just flash a stock 1.32 RUU, then run radio s-off tool to go back to s-on. Just as described in the thread linked to above
Hi,
Thanks for the guide.
I used factory reset and it's back to standard now. It's unrooted etc, but clockworkmod is still on it.. And also s-off, but I'll do that with your tool. How do I get clockworkmod off ?
Thanks in advance

Factory reset will not remove root.
It's jkoljo's tool (didn't mean to mislead at all), I meant to show that I took the instructions from there and added some important / extra info.
Please read the link on my previous reply, has the info / steps you require. Plus related info in my 1st reply.
Thanks guys, it all worked out! I got S-ON now and fully factory state.
Cheers for the help!
No problem, don't forget to also remove the 'evidence' from the sdcard (PD98IMG.zip) , but in theory, yours is a hardware fault and not void warranty.

I cleaned my sd card hehe, but they give me back my sd card anyways. And there's also a software problem. When I turn it on from standby, the screen stays black and the buttons light up.. Also had this on a normal desire and then I bought this. So I'm wondering what they'll say now..
I noticed that before. I just remove the battery and reboot my phone.

If the above post, battery pull, doesn't work, it could be that the proximity sensor needs calibrating. Leppie has a tool / app in xda, not sure if require root though.
Edit: Here it is;
[APP] DHD Proximity Sensor Recalibrator 1.6 (18-Jun-11)
Edit2: You probably already know, but, make sure HTC don't update your software version updated to a build version 2.37 or higher. It can't be hacked yet. So you'll be screwed if you wish to enjoy all the goodies here at XDA.

I have seen some threads about un-rooting for warranty claims, but want a definite answer before doing anything.
My DHD has ENG S-OFF, Radio S-OFF and Clockwork Mod Recovery, and basically I want someone to be able to tell me/ point me in the direction of files and instructions for returning my handset to 1.32 stock with no superuser, custom recovery or s-off's of any kind.
Also, if the engineers where to update my phone like i know their prone to doing, is it still possible to downgrade back to 1.32 and root again to get my beloved MIUI back?

you can download a stock rom from the links on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846248
And It'll take the HTC back to it's factory defaults, as if it was new. It'll probably be best to use the RUU (that's what it's called) for Orange UK (if your phone's locked to that, assuming you updated your operator)
HOWEVER! Running an OTA update to gingerbread from the new system'll leave you with a probably unrootable Desire HD (to check if it's still got the radio S-off at least, go into fastboot and check that the CID is just 1's)

So I would install this like a ROM through Clockwork Mod?
So would this RUU remove all of my custom recovery, and S-OFF's? It's just I wanna make sure it's all gone just in case....
So there is no way that these can be downgraded like 1.72 can be?
Narh, you don't flash it through clockwork mod, it's run from your computer. You'll need the HTC Sync application installed on your computer, and a sense rom to connect the phone via htc sync.
When you run the RUU, it'll tell you what to do. I think it removes a ENG S-OFF but but a radio S-OFF'll stay on the phone (it is more or less permanent). However, I don't think the radio s-off'll show up in fastboot that obviously.
The reason you can't downgrade the firmware on RUUs is because in the process of rooting, the phone's CID changes to 111111111 (or something) so the PD98IMG file for downgrading will refuse to work with the phone because of an "Incorrect CID"

It's been a while since i had to use a RUU, but I believe it should work with any rom.
Hi Guys,
I am planning to root my Desire HD (Vodafone Branded) to use Android Revolution ROM and it turns out that when rooting I'm going to require an additional step as I need to create a GoldCARD to unlock my phone and enable it to see/use other ROM's
My question is, is it possible to rollback to original condition all of the below:
custom ROM installed
updated radio version
GoldCARD changes that it makes to my phone
Considering I want to get out of my contract with Vodafone I am considering in returning the phone in a few weeks and the last thing I want is to not being able to return my phone back to original condition with them refusing to take it back
Your thoughts guys?
two5om
Questions go in the Q&A Section.
the goldcard doesn't actually make any changes to your phone, it just allows you to flash a different Rom when you have the Vodafone branded stock Rom on your phone.
If you want to return your phone to its original condition (turning radio s-on and removing root) you can either flash the stock Rom on your phone again and repeat the rooting procedure, turning everything you turned off back on or you could do, in my opinion, the easier method which is to just run the official ruu.exe on your computer with your phone plugged in. it returns the phone to stock look. Vodafone do this anyway with their own branded software, and they generally only check if your phone has the stock look, so it can be generally any stock ruu.exe

i've bookmarked this very useful post for future reference in case i need it:
To unroot and get your phone completely back to stock:
1: Install 1.32.405.6 RUU
2: Use Visionary+ R14 to temproot, then permroot
3: Reboot
4: Use Jkoljo's Easy Radio Tool to set S-On and set the CID to the default HTC__001 (Unless your phone came carrier branded in which case the CID will be different)
5: Reboot
6: Reflash the RUU
7: Update to the latest software normally through software updates

also a google search found this vodafone AU branded RUU: http://depositfiles.com/files/3x1c6v6hj
SITUATION:
I had my DesireZ rooted almost a year now( unluckily by visionary.)
I was using a CM7 rom and i decided to unroot it so that i can gain my warranty back. I googled and flashed a RUU to my phone (This RUU)
But afterwards i found that i still have S-off. I accidentally format my SD card too.....
PROBLEM:
1) I cannot find a way to turn it back to S-on
2) I decided to give up on turning it back to s-on, but i cannot use custom recovery as i cannot operate Superuser somehow.
s-off means your unlocked. you can unroot your phone but you still have to lock it. follow guides in sticky. also i would root my phone again and then start fresh with the wiki
