Telus Desire ROM Needed ASAP.

Hi. I recently rooted and installed a WWE "sensefroyo" rom off the internet.
And I just figured out (since a couple of hours) that my speaker isn't working AT ALL.
Before, it worked when you left the battery out for a minute and put it back in. it worked flawlessly. But after a while it'd go back to being messed up.
Now its screwed. and wont work at all.
I didnt realise I needed to get it replaced till now.
I really need the Telus Desire rom asap. As I just emailed them about it, and most likely need to get it replaced/fixed. And I dont know much about Telus, if you lose warranty privileges if you root/custom ROM it.
Unless I can tell them that I installed the official 2.2 ROM (dont know if it needs root) off those .exe files (the RUU_Signed) kind. (They didn't work for me. So i rooted using recovery)
Or if you can link me to one where I can find a rom that does not require rooting, and has an .exe file and a copy of a .zip kind.
I wrote a lot here, and its all over the place.
Right now. Either link me to the Telus Desire rom. or one where I can flash without rooting.
I am going to unroot as soon as I get one of those two things^
Thanks. I just hope you guys know what kind of freaky situation I am in.

Where did you buy it, and how long has it been since you bought it?
Depending on those factors, you may not need to worry too much.

I had it activated on a 3 year contract almost a week ago(Not even a week)
What do you mean by I will not have to worry about these things?
Is Telus a carrier that is more on the 'chill' side of things?
EDIT - So I just got off the phone with Telus.
The representative told me if I installed something that Telus did not release. That basically voids my warranty. So now I really need to get back exactly as it was before.
Can someone please help me out here?
I need to go to a dealer soon to get it replaced.
I am pretty sure I can unroot it myself with no issues I guess.
I really need something that matches with the same stats as a Telus Desire.

You should probably try starting over.
If your rom is still rooted, get ROM Manager and install clockworkmod.
You can install something stable like opendesire and wipe data/cache.
You should be fine, unless you really have some unusual desire to be on Telus' rom.

I was wondering if someone can post what their 'software version' looked like on a Telus Desire
Maybe then I can try to get the same radio and 'stats' as a factory device.
I got on a rep and they also said that the worst thing that can happen is your device will be sent back.
They even said that some people wont even notice the software change and stuff.
If at the end I cant get a Telus rom. I would LOVE a link to an Eclair build rom. Possibly one that is an official.

Didn't you nandroid backup prior to moving to froyo?
From what I understand you can restore from that.

I actually have NO idea what nandroid was.
I just followed instructions off a tut on xda.
So I cant seem to find factory eclair roms.
Now I read around a little bit more.
And just feel completely stupid.
Please. Someone. A factory Eclair build.

start by getting clockworkmod installed.
Without knowing what state your device is in, it's tough to help you.
but with clockworkmod recovery going, you will easily be able to switch between roms.

Honestly you couldn't have bought it that long ago, just return it to the store, the guys don't even know how to check.

I already do have it. Thats how i installed all the different roms (Leedroid, Nightly Cyanogen, and then eventually the official one)
Hold on for a couple of minutes as I can provide you with some of my hboot and so recovery options. (Using the WiFi hot spot at the moment)
Other then that. Here is my 'software version'

Yes it is an SLCD display?
you needs more? - tell me what exactly you need and how I can get it

download opendesire 3.5.0, wipe data/cache, flash that.
after you set it up, let us know what's not working.

If I were you, I would go back to the store you got it from, with your recipt and contract. You have 14 days to return any phone. That's how I got my desire, I returned a Hero. Make sure you take everythign back you got, charger, phones, etc. Tell them waiting to get a band new phone fixed is a waste of your time, and you want to exchange the phone right away.
So long as you have a sense UI ROM running, I doubt they will know you have rooted the phone. The guys where I bought the phone didn't know too much about it.
If you managed to get a tech support guy to tell you they might not notice, you clearly have the power to get what you need from people. Be forceful if you have to, within 2 weeks they should just give you a brand new phone. After 14days though, your gonna have to live with no speaker, hope it's actually a software issue(doesn't sould like it if even stock it was failing), or send it back and hope they don't miss it. To the best of my knowledge there are no Telus official roms to be found, but there are many official roms from other places. As long as your background doesn't say VodaPhone or something, how will they know?

Telus has 30 day DOA over the counter exchange.

YAh but he made the mistake of telling them e rooted and flashed it (why on earth would any one do that i dont know)
So they have flagged that IMEI in the system as void.
Your best bet is to try doing a wipe and flashing back to the telus 2.1 rom and radio, you will, the recovery is gone though as we dont hava ruu.

Actually. I didnt. I went straight for asking the question off a residential phone that uses Rogers. So they don't know who I was or any account related things.
The first time I called though, I told them that the speaker wasnt working and I wanted it replaced.
So no my IMEI is not flagged, guarantee you that part.
I will try using the OpenDesire 3.5.0 with "clear/wire cache"

This might work for you and i think its your best bet.

Go to the above thread, follow the instructions and make a gold card.
then go to the following thread, download official froyo rom and flash it. It looks almost the same as the original rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753672

I cant seem to do the goldcard thing.
I am using the official 2.2 at the moment.
It does look the same as 2.1 Telus itself.
What does it mean over here?
# Ensure you have unzipped the SDK, then open a command prompt to the extract location. Change to the 'tools directory.
# Type
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
and press enter. You should get a very long number which looks like this: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402.

I cant seem to do the "command prompt" location thing.
Someone wanna help me? maybe with some screenshots?

I am done making the GoldCard. What does it even do though?
It has something to do with switching to the factory rom..
Now. I have issues with the RUU. It does not wait long enough for the phone to be in bootloader.
EDIT - Is there any way I can "remove" or uninstall the Superuser Permissions app and the "Wi-Fi Hotspot" app? To make it appear even more legitimate.

I packed up the telus stock rom from a nandroid dump you can try it.
http://www.mightyrom.com/mrx/MRX/Bravo/Stock/Telus_HTC_Desire_Stock_2.1_NoRADIO.zip

Hey I needed to unroot my phone too and I tried a bunch of things then I was following procedures to root my phone again because I tried installing the Rom that was posted by the person that posted before me and I messed up and got lots of errors when I got the phone started and had to force close a bunch of things constantly. Anyways I followed step 3 of the tut for rooting TELUS desires on this forum site and when it restarted I got my stock TELUS Rom back unrooted. This is the step I followed
3. Go to HBOOT, this is done by shutting down your phone and powering on the device while holding the Power button down and pushing Volume down at the same time, once HBOOT is loaded do a wipe (Clear Storage). You can navigate the menus by using the volume rocker and the Power button to select your option.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7818278 is the link to the tut I was following.
I dunno how it worked but it did, I got my stock TELUS Rom by doing this. Maybe I got lucky and maybe you might too. Oh and just for your info, the tut I used to root my desire initially was this one forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750888. Good luck

title says it all. running stock rooted. turns out, it has gone out of date. i am not running an alternate rom bcuz i need to return my evo in a few days (little bro cracked the screen). i just tried to unroot today, and got the main version older fail. i am on a mac, so any help would be much appreciated.

[Q] Reception...

Hello, i have purchased my Htc desire Hd a few days ago and i love it. I came across these forums and found them very helpful. I decided to _root my phone and install the latest Cm ROM and all went well. When i bought the phone the supplier (three) said that i would be able to get speeds up to to 6mb on the mobile broadband in my area. Sadly this is not the case as i am on EDGE.
I was wondering is there anyway to boost signal either by app or a different radio or ROM.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it could be from some setting maybe, but if i was in your shoes i'd ask the people in the Original Thread.
When upgrading from an fairly old ROM to a new ROM, i'd suggest the flashing of a new radio.
BE CAREFUL, AS FLASHING RADIOS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
See the OP of the ROM thread and see if flashing a radio is mentioned (if its not mentioned on the thread, dont flash a new radio, or you can ask them if you can). Normally, ROM are supplied with a RECOMMENDED radio that works perfectly with it.
So ask the people in that thread (or see the OP) if and which radio you should flash.
FLASHING RADIOS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE, AND ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING IT
- just a little warning with a happy face

Thanks alot for your time I didnt know flashing radios was as dangerous :/ i've done it twice. well thanks for the warning with the happy face
Is there any fail safes for flashing ? anything like roms or radios ?
Thanks in advance

By 'Fail Safes' do you mean 'a mechanism that manages failures and results in minimum harm'? (just googled it )
If so, well, android itself has MANY mechanisms. And by flashing ROMs, all it does is overwrite the current files. So flashing something (given that the script to flash it is correct - if not, then it wont flash - or could flash it to the wrong place) doesnt have any fail safes, which is why, if an incorrect radio is flashed, the phone wont do anything, but when you come to boot it, it could be bricked (worst possible case).
Flashing ROMs with errors can be fixed easily if you know how. Just build a flashable .zip file that'll overwrite the files that have errors with correct files.... - determining the error could be done by using 'adb logcat'

Thanks ! you couldn't have done more Thanks again for everything i will be more cautious when flashing Another big thanks !
Luke

Your Welcome , anytime

[Q] I think I messed up.

Alright, so I got my G2 and I used visionary + for temproot.

You shoudnt have used Visionary . it is well known that it could mess up your phone.
The bad news is since you dont have a costum recovery or eng hboot ,yes you have bricked your phone, but the good news is, now you can fix it by installing the new shipped gingerbread.
but it is not rooted yet ,so you wont be able to root after that,but hey, its better than a bricked phone right?
so download the zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074391

Do I use adb or hboot to do the update img thing? or recovery?
Thank you for your help

You dont need to use ADB for this, download the PC10IMG.ZIP put it on the root
of your sd card ,insert the sd card in you phone again, press the volume down button and turn you phone on, while still holding the volume down button ,this will
put your phone into bootloader ,from there your phone should detect the file and will start flashing it automatically ,(it could take a while to finish)
good luck ,let us know how it went.
Edit: forgot to tell you this, you need to rename the file to PC10IMG.zip .

Alrighty then, Raizakins is my gf's username, but I had gotten it done. Everything works perfectly I really appreciate the help, I don't know what I would have done I think I spent hours googling stuff but none of it worked I install adb and everything but it didn't work so this did and I am thankful. I only had the phone for a day too lol
I'm kind of glad it doesn't have root yet for 2.3. I don't think I will be doing that again I got scared enough haha. But again, thank you

Glad you fixed your issue. But did you miss the stickied thread in the General subforum warning against using Visionary, or just choose to ignore it? Not trying to be snippy or anything. Just trying to understand the thought process, as there still seem to be plenty of people choosing Visionary. Despite warnings otherwise which have been going around as far back as maybe December or January.

Well, I got my G2 Tuesday and I didn't know what I was really doing, my buddy at work told me to use Visionary so I had no clue that it was buggy like that he didn't warn me. That's about it lol.... But as of now, I have no further plans on attempting to root again. And yeah, I saw the stickie and read it while all this was going on and was like "Aw crap".
Edit: I think somehow the temproot and permaroot collided and screwed me over haha!

So I think my HTC One V is bricked, can someone help?

So, I previously had an optimus v, which is like the easiest phone to root and get roms for and what not. Well i was hoping that the One V would be the same, it was not.
So I tried to install some rom that i liked after going through the unlocking and rooting process,and it had a restarting problem where every 5-15 seconds after it would boot it would restart. I found a solution (kind of) to that but most of the links where dead so i had to find them on my own. It led me to putting a custom kernel on it and that did not fix it, so i saw something that getting the OTA update that came out a while ago could cause this, and the only way to return it was to use RUU (i still had a custom kernel at this point, i think) so i got the (hopefully) correct recovery.img from RUU and i flashed that and the next step is to relock the device, so i did via command prompt, and i started RUU up again and it was doing its thing and ended in an error 155. I have tried several times and it has still not worked. I found some stuff saying that the HBOOT i have which is 1.57 doesnt have a supported RUU or something to that effect ( i found lots of conflicting information).
So now i am stuck with a phone that only goes to the bootloader menu and because its relocked i cant flash anything to it.
I have tried fastboot oem unlock and that came up with a command error, and everything else i try to flash just fails.
Any help is welcome and a thank you in advance to anyone that helps.

You should be able to flash a stock RUU for your device while it's in the bootloader menu from here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Primo
make sure to download the correct RUU for your carrier/radio band and if its GSM (PRIMOU) or CDMA (PRIMOC), or you can screw it up more.
What network carrier are you with?
EDIT:, Just re-read your post, sorry. I don't know if anyone has posted a RUU for the updated radio, that Virgin Mobile released, you may need to get ahold of Football on this forum and see if he's still helping find/sell RUU's that you need.
Back in the day I had to get ahold of him to get the RUU for my phone that wasn't listed on any RUU site.

I paid like $13 for mine, but it gave me piece of mind should the phone ever soft brick or hard brick with boot, that I can recover it and not lose a phone. I don't know if he's even around anymore, but I posted a thread in general asking if he was. I am on Alltel, but one of my family members bought an HTC One V with the updated radio, so for her I couldn't do anything but root. I know there are a few new radio friendly ROM's in the CDMA section of this forum that would of boot with a custom rom and the kernel.

yeah i found some ROM's that will work only after this happened. In my research i found something about downgrading HBOOT i only saw it on other phones and it did not look like something i wanted to mess with. And my HTC One V is CDMA on Virgin Mobile.

UPDATE: So i figured it out, I went and i reflashed the Unlock_code.bin file and now its back to unlocked again. Thanks to FreakyFreakGA to doing his best to help me out.

Be sure to flash an OTA-compatible ROM. Try RhythmicROM or CyanPrimo, both of which I've used for a long time and can attest that they are better HTC One V ROMs.

I never tried to go back to stock, I'm running rhythmic ROM, can't link right now but it seems to work pretty well, its slightly faster than stock when all my stuff is on there and the only problem so far is sometimes when you lock the device and then quickly unlock it then it will freeze and restart.

Yeah I just flashed Rhythmic. Seems pretty nice by my wifi is having some weird authentication problem. It doesn't seem like there are very many ROMs out there that would work though.

Yeah, make sure you find the right version for your radio, virgin mobile made a terrible move by updating it so you cant do much with it.
Or kernel or something, anyways mine was v5.2 and it was a pain, i think there was a lot more kernels available for older versions.
Best of luck, and if you are having problems with authentication then try using WPS, in some cases it fixes those types of problems.
