Hi All,
I've been playing around with various WM6 ROM's but I have now decided to sell the phone (I want a Kaiser!), anyway whats the best way of reverting back to the original HTC booloader & WM5 ROM. I ask this because I still have valid warranty but only if HTC never find any traces of different ROM's??
I assume I would use ROM
HTC English HTC__001 1.23.405.2 1.07.0000 1.38.00.11 ??
but what about the bootloader??
Any advice would be a real help
Cheers

You should have the original ROM on your phone just hard reset it using the key combination to reinstall...

incorrect.. hard resetting will just wipe your data, not revert your ROM to original factory ROM
if you have the official ROM from your manufacturer, it should come with SPL packaged in it.. run SSPL manually and then run the official ROM update
I thought that part of the ROM comes with a hidden partition of WM5 so that in event of problems you could reflash back as it says in the manual? This is quoted in many threads! ie. Flash WM6 as much as you want and in event of problems just restore back to original state.
Yes but by flashing the orginial WM5 that cane with the device...
If you flash with WM6 the "Hidden" section will restore WM6 i.e. whats on the device..
so what would be good then is if there was a simple tool for backing up a rom to a PC like the one Orange used to do instead of all the command line converstions etc...
if one enter the bootloader and format the reg and storage that way
it's like an old fasion hardreset
everything will go back to the org rom settings
but never to a former rom if one have flashed it to a new one
hence is the a way we can simply backup our present ROM exactly as we have it now before flashing?
you can do a dump of your ROM to make a backup of it.. although it's a bit troublesome. Depending on your carrier, they may actually have your official ROM on their site, or it may be in the wiki, so not everyone needs a ROM dump
yep.. but if you changed WM5 and installed progs exactly as you wanted it then its good to get a backup...
umm.. yeah... i guess that goes without saying. you could use sprite or something.. then flash the same original wm5 rom and restore your backup
yes but would be more handly to create a flashable rom backup
Hi,
I have tried several ROMs on my desire but none of them is working perfectly.
The only rom that somehow makes it possible to work is dj-droid
Leedroid and Chinese rom kept on crashing
The phone keeps crashing if I use it to much. (run a demanding app like waze or o game)
It even crashed when I use the internet for too long.
All of this made me come to a conclusion that there is something wrong with the hardware (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)
Now I want to get my phone to his stock condition.
I know that I need to download something called a RUU file.
I found this thread, but I can’t figure which ROM should I D\L.
I suppose it should be something marked as WWE and the numbers are the radio version.
From what I can see my radio version is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 (found in setting-> about phone -> Software information Baseband version) is it really the radio or I’m looking at the wrong place?
Can I use any RUU file is there a specific RUU should I D\L because in the thread I found the highs radio version is 32.30.00. If I need a specific ROM can some please point to the right direction.
Also I’ll be happy is some will explain to me what are the steps to install the RUU file, or is it same thing as installing a custom ROM ?
Please feel free to throw any other suggestions that might help to set my desire to it’s proper condition.
Thank in advance
Mark
P.S
I had froyo 2.2 and my HBOOT is 0.93.001
In order to return to stock, just connect the phone to the pc and run the RUU (it's just an exe file). The latest OFFICIAL European rom is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828519
That will upgrade HBOOT and Radio, you really need that. In case you'll need to get root access, just download unrevoked (google it), but remember to uninstall HTC Sync in case you have it installed before running it.
After rooting, just reflash the rom of your choice and keep the new radio, just don't change it, it's superb.
Hint: before flashing any rom on top of each other, remember to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and user data, so you won't get any crash.
To restore data I suggest MyBackup Pro, gives less issues than Titanium Backup.
You need a gold card to flash anything other than the one that originally came with the phone. Radio is irrelevent

Radio is responsible of many crashes: an old radio not compatible with the camera app gives FCs.
Why would he need a goldcard if he already rooted?? To go back to stock just enter in the bootloader, select fastboot, connect via usb, start the RUU and you're done.
Thanks,
I'll try the attched RUU and update with the result.
BTW
is the there posibility i'll brik my phone during this procedure ?
Oh and i anderstand that i need a goldcard only if my phone is/was branded.
Ok, I managed to restore the phone but after the installation it entered to a boot loop.
I let the phone rest for 2 or 3 minutes and it started up perfectly.
I suspect that if I'll stress my it's get too hot and crushes.
Any suggestion how can I confirm this theory ?
How did you get it out that boot loop? Resting? Did you take out the battery or smth?
Yes,
I had to to that several time before the phone started to work.

If the OP has a branded phone and wants to flash a stock unbranded RUU you need a gold card. Radio is irrelevent in the flashing of an RUU as you get the correct radio for the ROM included in it
I am just asking because I am trying to flash the Rooted , A2SD+ version of this ROM and after flash it just keeps looping (when the little green android logo appears and the phone vibrates) and does that on and on and on. Maybe I have to wait more.
Which ROM have you come from? IF it wasn't a Sense-based ROM you'll have to do a full wipe before booting

I came from exactly this one (latest OTA). It was rooted and as clockwork recovery did not work , I flashed Amonra. I did a full wipe, I formatted the SD card and then partitioned it, I did everything from scrap. I am almost certain I am missing astep or smth. Phone shows S-ON, maybe amonra doesnt get read of Security...?? I am not very good at this stuff, but any other ROM I flash works, except for the latest OTA (rooted and with A2SD- there is a post here on the forum containing it).
OR you mean a full wipe AFTER flashing, and before the first boot??
Chapter 2 – Return of the Desire
Hi again
First of all I want to thank you all for your assistance I had no problem to activate the warranty.
It seems that the constant reboot issue was a know issue of the A8181 series so my original phone was sent to HTC.
Finely I got the phone back and according to what I've been told it's a new device.
When I tried to use the phone I noticed that the APN settings were not transformed from the SIM card to the phone
(did not had that problem before I shipped the phone).
I tried to ran the RUU I used before and It seemed like I'm also going to gain an upgrade from 2.10.405.2 to 2.29.405.2 .
With a heart full of joy I'm pressing the next button and when the status bar reaches the "updating signature" I get the " Error [131] customer ID" error.
Noting I do seems to help fixing the problem.
I managed to root the phone, I flashed the LeeDroid rom, but i still can't run the RUU.
Any suggestions how do I fix the problem ?
I don't think my phone is branded as I bought an online store and from my provider.
Thanks in advance
You need a goldcard.

Ok, I tried with the GoldCard, still the same error.
I'm trying to install.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.
Also i see notification on that tells me that it is safe to remove my SD card.
Can you access your sdcard on your phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
nope,
can't access it at all
I think that's your problem then.
Have tried removing it, cleaning the contacts etc?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
I think i messed the card in the proccess of making it a GC
The phone keeps telling me that it's sage to remove it
I dont have this problem when i insert my ap2sd card
try reformatting / remaking your goldcard.

Hi! I'm a new user of the Desire Hd. An old user of the HD2
I live in Spain and i've got my new Desire Hd with stock Vodafone Rom. I really would like to change and try one of the fantastic roms posted here on xda.
I've seen some topics explaining how to radio off, etc....
My question is: Is there a way to get back to the original stock rom with stock functions as never touched? I have 2 year warranty with vodafone and i don't want to loose them. Thankyou all!
Short answer, yes.
You could replace the Vodafone branded firmware and replace it with the stock HTC firmware and they wouldn't know, as most carriers will at some point supply an unbranded device.
I got mine from Orange UK, and it was completely unbranded.
Ok i understand. So there won't be a way to backup the vodafone firmware to restore it back later?...where can i find the stock firmware?i'm still new on this device..is there also a way to go back from sim unlock,radio off..all of this stuff?thanks!
Hi,
I suggest to perform a Nandroid back up using clockworkmod....before to upgrade a new rom...
Ok..
Hi thanks for replying. Ok i can do a nandroid backup, but then i see i have to make many operations like root, s-off, radio s-off, upgrade clockwork etcetera........ And i would like to know if then i can restore everything back because if i have to send the phone to the sat Vodafone won't let me.... It's important for me , i think maybe other vodafone users are interested in this. Thanks
You can apply an RUU (Rom Update Utility) to restore your handset to complete factory settings. A generic WWE (World Wide English) version should be fine to restore to as that would be the type HTC would ship on an unbranded device sold in Europe.
uhmm. that's a good idea. I can get it on the official htc page? maybe you can help me with a link? Thankyou very much.
vv--- Check My Sig ---vv
ok i've seen the vodafone ruu.. it's uk.... i need it in spanish....... Thanks!
maybe it's possible to have it? otherwise i have to install the wwe no? i see it's the 1.32 ... now there is the 1.7* out no? Thanks!
The WWE version will do fine. As it has all the major European languages.
ok that's perfect. So now if i do all the procedures like s-off, root, clockwork update etc.. Then simply installing this Ruu i will return to stock version? Thanks
or maybe it's possible to install the vodafone uk one and install in it a spanish lang pack? Thanks
edit: Other idea. I could make a nandroid backup like explained before. Install this wwe ruu so i restore the old clockwork. And then restore the nandroid backup. This should work no? Thanks
Most, if not all, RUU's that are aimed at European countries will have support for English, Spanish, French, etc...
If you do all the procedures and run the RUU it will revert everything (Except Radio S-OFF) back to factory defaults (Including S-OFF & Root) you can then get OTA updates direct from HTC, no waiting around for Vodafone ESP to bloat them.
RUU's that have specific language support will have a slightly different filename.
ok. i've edited the previous post like this, what do you think about this idea?
edit: Other idea. I could make a nandroid backup like explained before. Install this wwe ruu so i restore the old clockwork. And then restore the nandroid backup. This should work no? Thanks
and also. i can revert to radio s-off or not?
thanks
If you run the RUU it will restore your recovery partition from Clockwork Mod Recovery back to HTC Recovery.
You would not be able to restore a nandroid backup until you Rooted, S-OFF & installed Clockwork Mod Recovery again.
ah ok i understand.. it's a shame i cannot find an ruu for vodafone in spanish.. i see that in uk exists because it's posted on your ruu page...... i really like to stay on cooked roms, i need the vodafone one only in case something happens and i have to bring it at vodafone.. Thanks

radios wont be a problem as they are updated with every official update.. and i couldnt find any tmobile splash screen.. but i make many but i dont have the rite pic to make any splash
I have a brand new T mobile branded DHD. I've only rooted, S OFF, ENG S OFF and SimUnocked it. tell me how to do a stock radio and i can help
thanks for your replies, i was hoping not to use the OTA as i will have to downgrade again. If you know if the OTA will also replace my splash screen with the original then i may do it.
@Rangnarok - could you tell me what the software version and baseband version are in setting>about phone.,I dont think you can extract a radio from the phone. Im not sure how you would extract the splash also. I know there are tools to flash them, but im not back home until tomorrow so i will have a look and if i can find a safe easy way i will PM you... thanks
Ok, to make sure I have what you need, I confirm again that, the Phone is new. I only Rooted. S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. It has a T-mobile splash screen, CID is TMOB005 at the moment.
Android version: 2.2
Baseband: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Build number: 1.39.110.1 CL278886
I have made a back-up ROm, using ClockWorkMod, so I am not sure if this is what you are looking for?
I am researching to flashing a custom ROM on it. So hopefully I can help you before doing so
many thanks for the information, it was exactly what i was looking for, i have a backup of the stock rom that came with my phone, it just that it doesnt contain the radio, now i know the one it shipped with i can download it.
will get back to you on the splash screen, flashing a custom rom does not change this so have fun flashing.
I would reccomend trying the cyanogenMod 7 Rom, it has great customizable features, and once you get used to not having sense there will be no going back. The only thing i would look out for is i have noticed that GPS can be hit and miss with different roms, if you use it alot like i do then try using it before you spend too much time with one rom.
cheers
I have had a look inside the backup folder. It has
boot.img
system.img
etc
but nothing that indicates a radio back up. Is this already included in some file in the folder?
radio is not backed up. But there is a thread in dev that has a link to download different radio versions, i just wasnt sure which one came with a stock T-mobile phone.
There is a T-Mobile DE RUU available, you can download that, and get rom.zip from it. Then you can find splash1.img inside the rom.zip. I am pretty sure that T-Mobile DE's and UK's splashes are similar.
thanks for that jkoljo. I should have thought that i could get it from any t-mobile rom as long as the res is the same.
Been meaning to ask you, you quote "It will create a backup of your phone partition 7 (radio config) to the root of your sdcard, I recommend to keep that somewhere really safe!" from your radio tool thread. Does this mean the whole original radio is backed up and i can restore it from that?
Nope, it is not the radio, just radio configuration partition. The radio configuration has lots of important system values in it. Radio reads values from that config partition, and then acts accordingly. Radio is an important part of the system, and it does more than you could imagine

I have sent you a PM, let me know what you think
hello. i have a question about being s-off, i have a m9 with telcel stock room, MM and firm 3.44.600.1, and i tried to flash a custom rom, but the base was another firmware, so i got softbricked, i did revive the phone with a backup from another page, everything was fine, but the phone started to do some restarts, 2or3 per day, and everytime he does that, some settings, like the ringtone, screen time, bluethoot, and other things change. idk if the backup was corrupted, or if the phone restarts because i didnot do a full wipe before restoring from that backup. So the question is, there none flasheable roms for this firmware or ruu's. but theres alot of roms for the 3.35.... firm, so, if i buy the soff sunshine software, will i be able to flash those roms? to get rid of these crashes? ty
Yes, after changing Your CID and MID to developer ones, You will be able to flash any RUU. To do that, You need to perform S-OFF. There is great tutorial for that - http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-one-m9/general/att-developer-edition-ruu-how-to-t3086948 (be carefull with that!)
