Hi guys, I currently have Buzz 1.0.6-OCUV kernel in my DHD.
I want tor revert back to my original kernel to check if ther are any system updates.
Does anyone know where I can get the original Stock DHD kernel?
I think I have a Clockwork recovery full backup of original - not sure though, can't remember if I did it from a fresh install .
I have had a hunt through the forums but cant seem to find anything - PS. I don't like how this DHD forum is moderated, it doesn't seem as easy to read/find things as the others I followed for my older devices
Am I missing something here? how can we get you the RUU when we did not tell us the original version that you were using?
Maybe I did not get your question

I assumed all DHD came with the same stock kernel version? Am I wrong?

I have absolutely no idea, that's why I asked, I apologize for hijacking your thread
I think you have to get completely back to stock if you want to check for OTA updates.

Hi
I have rooted my Hero and have a custom ROM installed but the GPS does not work and I use it all the time.
I have looked around the web and these forums on pulling the original ROM from the device but it is all to confusing. My wife has a Hero from the same carrier as I use. Is it possible to pull the original ROM off her phone and then I could flash it to mine and get back to original.
Sorry if this is a re-post.
Ta,
Ross

Yes I have tried all the RUU ROMs and they will not load on the phone.
You could visit HTC.com and download the original rom from there, it will work (but then, so should the roms the previous poster linked to).
Perhaps you can share with us, why flashing is not working.

Got a FTP site from the local agent, does not work they say there is a problem.
If I use the web site, it does not accept mine or my wife's serial number.
A friend just found a serial that works and it actually downloads - RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver witch is available in the Sticky.
Decided to try it again in case there was a download error. Same problem:
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

When i go to the HTC website and look for ROMs to download, there isn't any at all. I don't even see the page that asks for my serial number.
The HTC webpage is here : http://www.htc.com/sea/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all
I used this site:

Sorry about the wrong forum. Maybe a mod can move the thread.
Are you saying flash the radio to fix the GPS issue or so that I can flash back to the old original HTC ROM?
You could try installing a standard build from here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
Just wipe and install as usual from the recovery screen.
Some of them are even rooted, or you could root yourself after. That way you will have everything working and stable (including GPS) and also have the advantage of having root as well. Just a thought.
PS.I use HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 which I rooted myself (just seach xda for how to do this) and everything works perfectly.

what i am saying is:
i had this exact problem just yesterday: i could enable gps, but there was no icon in the statusbar, and position was not aquired by any app. no error in logcat. i tried to reflash mcr3.1 without wipe, nothing. wipe, then reflash, nothing. when i reflashed my radio it worked again, even after restoring my nandroid backup.
Can't you just get the official update in update.zip format and flash it from the recovery screen? That should work. Easy as that.
Or do a nandroid backup of your wife's phone and recover it on yours, though it probably doesn't work that simple because of serial keys inside the phone's hardware and stuff..

Perhaps you could explain why this OP is in the wrong forum ? If someone swaps to a custom rom, then needs help to recover in some way as a result, why should that not be asked here ? and if not here then where ?
Just asking
he has a problem and asks a question about it. comes to mind that the q&a (as in questions & answers) category might be the right, doesn't it?
since he is not developing anything, and that question is in no way related to develop anything it is for sure wrong in the development section. people tend to post here because they download the roms (which are obviously developed) from here, one more reason for a rom download subforum...
I was among of the anxious persons who updated.
Any way to flashback to 2.1?
I used some program to reflash automatically back to stock after rooting with 2.1 previously. Wonder if that will work now.
Do you still have root/recovery? if so yes.
If not, you're ****ed.
Also, wrong forum.

I know that there are some good souls around that will answer your question even if it was answered thousand times before. I, however, won't.
Good luck.

Yes, you can downgrade. One thing you have to remember - NEVER EVER flash leaked 2.3 Motorola ROMs straight to your phone. You have to use fixed releases with Nandroid backup that you restore via Clockwork and special SBF to flash immediately afterward.
Cyanogenmod and MIUI (most popular 2.3 ROMs) are pretty much safe.
Hi thanks for your reply, and just an update on this ,
I am now running 2.3.4 fine with no problems only bit i dont quite understand is the overclocking values mentiond in the guide i followd, but i suppose there is no need to overclockk for my use at this time maybe i will learn it in the future, i have installd all the software to do it.
here is the brilliant guide i followd, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135901
Thanks to the auther of that thread and all the people who helped in making it possiblle

Assuming you are coming from 2.3 (Eg CM7), the gist:
While starting up the phone press and hold volume up to go into bootloader mode.
Connect to computer via USB and start RSD Lite (version 4.9) and flash your 2.2 SBF (Look at sticky on dev forum) from which you had originally created the nandroid backup.
Load it up, root, restore nandroid to get back applications and data.
Search dev forum for complete guide.

Maybe your right and i have got mixed up with numbers at moment i am running 2.3.4 but maybe i was running 2.2.2 before, it was definat 2.2 so if .4 is not heard of then i will go with .2 but looking in that thread there is no orange UK version do you know how i get this or is there a diffrent one/version i could use, and is the version information able to be pulld from my nandroid backup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126907 <-- this version sais it is UK and doesnt mention Carrier specific so guess this is the one to use for me, So to confirm do i follow the same set of instructions as before from here " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135901 " but change "shadow4.5.1-134nandroid" for my own nandroid backup and "shadow4.5.1-134fixed.sbf" for "FixedSBF_3.4.2-177UK.sbf" from this thread " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126907 " or is the Non-Fixed Full sbf better to use.?
thanks again

I was wondering if there was a way to flash back to stock and and unroot my evo 4g?
If so, where can I get a stock rom at?

You really need to provide more information in order for someone to help you. The most pertinent information will be found in your bootloader. Please report back your HBOOT version, Security status, and baseband (radio) versions.

Hey Thanks,

I see that you are fairly new to posting in an xda forum and I dont want someone to slap you and call you a noob, not that Im doing that right now. But what you really need to do is use the search function of the forums. I had to unroot my cousins phone and I used the search function to find the info, you can even use google to find it. Unrooting is really easy to do, esp if you rooted your phone in the first place. It's just about the same processes.
Thanks,
Actually right after this post, I found it.
I'm already finished
Hey,
I can't seem to find something here that confirms or denies my thoughts, so thought I'd post.
I bought a M9 from eglobal central, but it came with a Chinese ROM. I've been able to fumble through and get it into English, but, certain things aren't quite right on it, so I wanted to swap it to a UK / European ROM. I was wondering how I would go about it? Also, what's the requirements for Carrier IDs etc?
I've seen some other posts out there about swapping ROMs, I'm assuming I'll have to S-OFF, but, after that, do I need root to swap a stock ROM for a stock ROM?
I don't want to go too far with this phone and getting it all setup if I'm going to have to wipe the thing to get it to do what I want it to do....
Thanks,
Berny

You don't need to s-off to flash a new rom. The ROM just needs to match your current firmware, or you can see if there's a firmware update available for the ROM you're currently using.
This thread should get you started. http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-root-install-twrp-htc-one-m9-t3061133
Once you have TWRP flashed, you can flash any of the custom ROMs in the Android Development section that match your firmware. You can tell what your firmware is when you are in download mode (It's listed as OS on that page...probably 1.32.xxx.xx...the first set of x's are your SKUid, basically region/carrier, the second set is the version of the 1.32 firmware you're using). All of this should make more sense to you after you read the OP at the above link.
