Can someone please point me in the direction of the Virgin mobile HTC Desire Stock ROM please? I can't seem to find it anywhere. .

It apparently doesn't exist...
Can anyone tell me if they have successfully put an android ROM that was designed for a motorola phone on an HTC device? Will it brick it or what?
here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662710
I don't understand what you're trying to do.
Can you explain clearly what phone you have (GSM or CDMA Desire?) and what you want to do with it?

Yes it will brick if you could somehow flash it (it won't or shouldn't flash)
I was trying to get a stock radio on a phone that isn't supported by the carrier of my choice. Those were just two things I thought to try. Simple questions really. I don't know why I would get a link to something that doesn't work, why bother really?
No worries though, I figured it out

If it's a stock froyo ROM, it shouldn't brick it.
If it's a ROM made for Moto, and you put it on anything "but" a Moto, you're asking for problems.

Seems that way, but until someone tries it we can't know for sure right?
I ain't tryin though!
It's been tried, and failed.
Put a stock Froyo on it for beginners, then go custom later.
Don't forget to make a gold card first.

First off is the stock pc36img.img on your root of your sdcard? If so pull the battery out, put it back in and hold down the power and vol down to boot in the bootloader. you should be fine once it installs you should be back with a stock rom. If you don't have the stock pc35img.img you can get it from here http://www.multiupload.com/U27BZXVWWI.
hope this helps
http://www.multiupload.com/U27BZXVWWI
Download that, rename it PC36IMG, put it on your SD card... reboot phone into recovery(while phone is OFF, press and hold volume down, while pressing the power button), it will load, follow onscreen instructions
Have you tried using an ruu. It should be able to return your phone to stock
u should goto the androidforum and read ROOTING FOR DUMMIES thread! u will not f up your ph and it will take u 15 mins to root yah ph give or take a few!

Hi All,
I tried using the 2.37 downgrade guides, including the Indian version , and of course no luck. Just wondering if anyone is working on the build 2.43.661.1 version.
My Phone: Telus DHD
Android version 2.3.3
Build/Software Number 2.43.661.1
Thank you all very much for your amazing work.

So thanks for that nt1303. However, I don't understand what you mean when you say "No need to downgrade" because your guide looks like you're downgrading to a lower version of the stock ROM. Anyway I haven't tried it yet. I also have a Telus DHD with build 2.43. I might give this a try tonight.

Won't work,
look at the last comments in the thread
Well then... that sucks. I guess we'll just have to wait until someone cracks 2.43 Ugh I don't even know why I upgraded to Gingerbread... got overly excited :\
Has anyone ever thought of downgrading to 1.84.661.1 (Telus stock Froyo)? It's an idea that's been floating around my head, but I haven't wanted to try in case i somehow screwed it up and broke my phone...

Just out of curiosity,
Does the gold-card flash a non-branded PD***.img not work with this latest update?
My understanding is you could use the goldcard method to force your phone to downgrade to a stock, v1.32 ROM, then use the rooting software to s-off, then you can flash any custom rom.
Hi
I was trying to downgrade my DHD but I could not.cause my bootloader does not work.I mean when going to bootloader the phone completely gets frozen and no key works.
help me please.
If you haven't flashed anything yet, just pull out the battery and stick it back in to restart it. It probably just means you don't have root access to your phone.
I have tried it several times,unfortunately there is no use. I have even tried factory reset!
Hey, i was trying to connect a usb mouse in my htc one x and I just find out that it doesn't have a usb host mode....

If you want to upgrade to kernel 3.1 with OTA, you have options.
You can unlock and just upgrade kernel.
You can.install a custom ROM and upgraded kernel.
You can try to install a JB ROM and kernel, this requires CID__621, or an European unbranded phone.
To go back to stock, don't upgrade the hboot, which rules out the last option. Even then, the bootloader will say relocked vs locked.
I just installed This Rom.. and It keeps shutting off when it boots up, I don't know what to do... I'd read all them pages but I don't really have the time seeing as i'm always working.
So if someone can help me solve this problem. I was trying to put it into bootloader mode but I can't even do that, I was going to install a new rom so if someone can please help me i'd be so thankful!

Hey guys... My friend bought an HTC One X second hand. It is rooted with what seems to be stock 4.0.3 Sense 4.0. The phone is also S-OFF and everything.. I will post pictures of it.
So here's the deal:
My friend was watching a movie but suddenly he felt as if the screen wasn't rotating... Now (According to AndroSensor App) the magnetic field, orientation, gyroscope, accelerometer etc... In short.. All of the GRAVITY SENSORS and the orientation sensors aren't working.. They are DETECTED by the app but say "Waiting for event"
tried hard resetting and everything. I have put many Custom ROMs in phones before. So i can flash ROMs etc if i have to
I have attached the pictures about everything and need help.. Alot appreciated thanks.

you should update it first, that is a very old version, you should have updates available. as it is s-off you can flash anything you want but I think you will need to update the hboot first, once that is done you have a lot of options available to you

Go to settings and check for an update. What we all recommend is that you send it to HTC, all untampered One Xs should still be in warranty, so send it to them, if it can't be fixed they'll send you a One X or a One X+, or sometimes they could send a HTC One if you're lucky :/

Oh i'll get right on it when i get my hands on the device can i request you to stay put to this thread? Cuz i will report back here
if you flash a custom recovery you can do anything you want, ie flash a rom, sense or no sense, or flash back to stock and because you are s-off you can even change your cid to install an update from a different region.
this can go on and on and people are starting to repeat themselves and you have had all the information you need to move forward. so what you need to do, as you say you cannot fix under warranty, is :- let the phone update via ota, this will update everything including the rom, the version of sense and the hboot. then once it is finished with all ota's available you can install a custom recovery( I recommend philz touch recovery or the latest twrp) and then you can flash all the rom's or mods you like.
and if you find you still have a problem with sensors check @HTC Venom signature for a possible solution

Try to do the hard reset after couple of days. Once you feel your device is warm enough. Chances to get them back gets better with time

i got them back except for temperature sensor....althought i did this thing several times, but once it worked out...i restarted the phone by long pressing the power button, even after the TURN OFF menu appears...on the start screen pressed volume down button to go in safe mode, all sensors started working, then i restarted mobile to come in normal mode.
working fine uptil now, i dont have restarted or powered off after that. so dont know if they will keep working after restart or again same problem will occur
all the people having same problem, just keep on trying restarts, safe mode, factory reset etc etc most probably they will start working. its just hit and trial
