Need some help. I lost the OS on my HTC HD7. I took it to a repair shop and they do not have a copy of win 7 mobile. Can anyone help here?
go to the hd7 dev forum you should be able to find the rom that suits your needs
flash rom by powering in bootloader - that is if you can
how the hell do you loose your OS....

I have a T-mobile uk branded desire (firmware version 2.1 -update 1 )
(software number 1.15.110.11), I dont want to root as i want to keep the warranty, but the low volume problem is really pissing me off, I tried to watch a film while stuck on the underground today, I could not hear a word of it, even with hi end sennheisers, its really pissing me off!!!
I have been told that switching to the stock HTC rom will solve the issue.
If possible pls explain how? I am an android newb and will need help.
Many thanks in advance.
sadly, no.
But if you have a problem, you can keep a backup of the stock HTC sense rom, and restore it. Additionally, you can restore the recovery to stock (I think i saw it somewhere).
After all that, you are good to go. Warranty still valid, and you can RMA it
Thanks for the reply, pls remember I am a newb, how do I do this???
Root your phone, do what you want with it, just keep this handy...

It's the current T-Mobile UK stock ROM and can be reflashed at any point to return to stock for warranty purposes (link may go down occationally so keep trying until you have it)...to reflash the stock ROM just make sure you have your Desire connected to your PC with HTC Sync and run the file - simple as that!!
I really dont want to root it to be honest, the phone is perfect except for the media volume! Do you think if I contacted htc they would be able to tell me how to change the rom without rooting it?
You CANNOT change the ROM without rooting, and HTC wouldn't tell you as it's breech of their warranty...just root it, you can always go back to stock if need be using the file I posted
Rooting isn't for everyone. If you have doubts about it, you should not do it. It's better to read some more about it than to hastely brick your phone. Most bricks are solvable these days, but it is no fun to do. If you want root just for the volume, it's not worth it if you don't know what you're doing, imho.

I have a T-Mo branded Desire that I have de-branded to a stock ROM, it's been OTA updated to 2.2 and just this morning it OTA updated to the new release all without rooting.
You just need to create a goldcard (very easy using the helper program) which will allow you to install any stock RUU. I have left the goldcard in my phone as it works as a standard microSD anyway to avoid any problems that occur when updating with out a gold card in.
I can't post links as I'm too much of a newb around here but search and the links are there.
Hi guys,
so, this is indeed my first post here. But the forums helped me a lot with playing with my Desire.
But now I have a problem for which I cannot find help anywhere, neither here via the search nor Google. I really hope you would be so kind to help me find an answer.
This morning I dropped my Desire Nothing really happened case, but the display won't work anymore. When I start it I feel the vibration that indicates the system start, and I also see the buttons under the display lighting up. But the damn display itself stays black. My best guess now is that the connector between display and motherboard might be disconnected/broken.
Since I hope to get it repaired over warranty, I think the first thing to do is to recover standard sense rom and unroot it. Otherwise HTC wouldn't repair it, right?!
So now the tricky part: how can I do that with an unconnected display? Is there any chance?
Or would you just risk it and send it in rooted and with a custom rom?
What's left to say: It cannot be discovered by my computer since I'm not able to turn it on.
I would really really appreciate any help or inputs on how to resolve this.
Cheers,
Pascal
PS: Since my Macbook Air got stolen 3 days ago, I can only answer from my office PC.
Just boot in to fast boot the run ur ruu then send it off

So, how would I do that exactly without being able to use the display or the pc?

or

Both methods require your minimum interaction.
Thanks!
Since I have no Win PC, this would be the equivalent for Mac/Linux, right?
And, how do I find out Baseband Version/Software Number?
I don't know much about OpenRUU, wait for someone else.
Second youtube video doesn't depend on your OS so I would suggest you that solution. However, it requires some interaction with your phone so...
If you're able to find a friend with Windows, that would be win-win solution. Basically you have zero interaction with your phone, just instal HTC Sync (drivers) and plug in the phone.
Since your phone is rooted do not bother about SW/BB version and use RUU ROM provided for your carrier which will restore SW and BB version to the stock. If your carrier sells unbranded Desire then go for the last official Froyo WWE:

If your Desire is branded, find adequate ROM and possibly you'll need a goldcard too.
Thanks for your help guys.
Fortunately, I'm able to use a WinPC for a couple of days now. So, yay me
Unfortunately, it's not working the way I tried and wanted it to work. Here's what I did:
Downloaded, installed and started HTC Sync, plugged in my phone and powered it on. HTC Sync doesn't recognize the phone
Secondly I downloaded and executed the RUU exe, but it also doesn't recogize the phone.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just not working cos I'm not able to unlock the SIM?
Let me make something clear to you! If they do take and repair a dropped phone, they'll not even care to look at the software... Seriously. Warranty is for factory/shipping errors, which were caused by the manufacturer. Good luck convincing them how a factory fault suddenly destroyed your display.
But the easy way of going to stock is to get a sd-card reader and put a PB99IMG.zip in the root of the sd-card and start it up in bootloader mode. It'll flash it automatically.(no need to use a windows pc)
Well, it's worth a try, isn't it?! And to be on the safe side, I'd like to get everything back to normal before sending it in. At least to know, that the SW really isn't the reason why they don't wanna repair it.
And for this PB99IMG.zip, does it have to have exactly this name?
Thx
Hello Everyone,
My wifes HTC Wildfire on T-Mobile was running like a dog and as I have a samsung Nexus S running Cyanogenmod 7 I suggested putting it on her phone. It took me alot longer to do so but is now rooted and running. Trouble is she hates it.
I need to revert back to the original T-Mobile rom please can anyone let me know how I need to do this. I remember when I had my HTC HD2 I had to flash offcial rom and it wiped all the custom stuff off. I need to do this tonight so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Many Thanks

You didn't take a Nandroid Backup? Sorry, but in my view this was extremely careless, especially when you remove HTC Sense from someone's phone who is not much of a techie :/
Anyway, Shipped ROM does have a RUU of TMobile. (Eclair only though). You can access that here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Buzz
Why not put a sense based Rom like jokerdroid or Dk onto it ?
I know I totaly forgot to do a backup, I had just come home from a nightshift but I no thats no excuse Thanks for the link but I can't see which one I need to select? Would you be able to point me to the correct one please
I want to return it to stock as she is going to send it back as the phone hangs all the time and resets itself.
Please ignore that I have just seen it
Hi,
I have recently switched from iPhone to HTC One M9. The first day I installed the "Nougat" but somehow crashed the OS. I got it back with reinstalled OS from shop after 3 days.
Now I have couple of questions;
1- In recovery mode the option in S On. What does this mean? How can I turn it Off? What is the basis difference between these 2.
2- Why Can't I reinstall the OS in case of any other issue in future? If yes when any help on this and which version will work with this?
3- Like iPhone I can update the IOS through itunes, Is there any similar option for HTC One M9 to update the software via HTC Sync?
4-Any other help if you can provide to newbie
I know a lot of people had this discussion but sometimes it's hard to find
Regards

All you need to do is browse and read... Important things are usually at the top... s-off grants you more control over your device (but is now paid ?)...

1. S-ON is a security feature intended to prevent changes to the phone that may damage it. It is not necessary to achieve S-OFF in order to customize your phone (ie, custom recovery, root, custom ROM). However, you will need to unlock your bootloader for those things.
2. You can. The readme thread gives more information - look to the RUU section for information about how to go about this. If you've got questions, post them here.
3. Generally updates are done over the air (OTA) or via RUU. There may be some carriers that provide computer-based update software (Verizon, I believe, does this), but otherwise OTAs & RUUs are your options.
4. Check out the readme thread. It is long, no doubt about it, but will get you up to speed. And you can always ask questions about specific issues you don't understand or need help with.
Hi there, I recently found my old Microsoft Lumia 535 (RM-1089_1049) sitting in one of my draws and I have been wanting to root it so i can have full access to the phone and my ultimate goal is to install Android onto it. It is currently running Windows 10 Mobile but i have managed to restore it to Windows 8.1 in the past by using Microsoft's official Recovery Tool.
I have learned that there is a bug with the Samsung eMMC that is installed onto the phone which makes it write protected when i try to root it on the WPinternals app in flash mode (all i get is bad GPT).
I don't plan on doing some on the go gaming and general use on this as i have my iPhone 6 for that but i just thought it would be cool to unlock it and push it even further by installing Android onto it. I've had no luck so far as this is why i am relying on you guys to give me some helpful advise, useful links and suggestions into getting this little project thing working as well as any other useful information.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
