[Q] Which Stock RUU do I need? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I bought my Desire off eBay India but its a SIM unlocked T-mobile UK piece (it shows the pink t-mobile logo flash screen, has Top Apps installed and had t-mobile UK websites as bookmarks in the browser when I got it). It already had froyo when I got it.
I want to root my desire and was going through the "Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide" in which the first step mentions downloading the provider's ROM.
My HBOOT shows the following:
bravo pvt4 ship s-on
hboot-0.93.0001
microp-31d
touch panel-SYNW0101
radio-5.11.05.27
Aug 10 2010,17:52:18
And the firmware details are:
android 2.2
baseband 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27
kernel 2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0 htc-kernel"at"and18-2 # 1
build 2.12.110.4 CL274424 release keys
software 2.12.110.4
browser webkit 3.1
which match the details I found of the web for other t-mobile UK desires.
Now, my question is, which RUU would I need to flash if I ever wanted to unroot or put the stock ROM back?
I searched the shipped ROMs page and all I could find was this OTA update -OTA_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_UK_2.12.110.2-1.21.110.4_release3uop1mw9unpc376h.
1) Am I missing something? Will I need a T-Mobile 2.1 ROM? Or should I create a Goldcard?
2) If I flash a T-Mobile ROM, will my phone become SIM Locked? (I know there is a SIM unlock utility available here but just for info).
Please help.

I am stupid!

I must be the dumbest guy in the world, I got my Desire only 3 days and I screwed up. I wanted to try some custom roms and I did. Now I want to recover to the orginal RUU and root that and customize that.
But that isin't going to work like I want it to work.
My information:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
Microp-031d
Radio-4.06.00.02-2
My ROM:
2.1-update1
32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
2.6.29-0cb9f166 (htc-kernel - and18-2 #1)
1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
Now I tried to use the follow RUU: RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe but that is giving me a error 155 even before its going to load the bootloader.
Am I using the wrong RUU. Is something blocking? Can I downgrade my HBOOT to 0.75?
What should I do to go back to my Out of the Box desire?
Thanks.
Solved. Had to manually put my phone in the bootloader menu.

[Q] Unrooting HTC Desire

Hey Guys,
I've got an HTC Desire, from 3 - it came with all the Three UK stuff on it (like the boot screen etc), but I rooted it, and flashed it with OXYGEN MOD, the latest one...but I'm now sending my phone in for a small repair job, and need to reflash it to stock.
I've made the goldcard etc, and am trying to flash it with an RUU H3G_UK rom, which I downloaded (RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe). However, when I try to update it using PB99IMG.zip method, it says:
Code:
'Main Version is older!'
'Update Fail!'
'Do you want to reboot device?'
'<VOL UP> Yes'
'<VOL DOWN> No'
Any ideas as to what I should do?
Cheers. Phil.
Oh, and I thought I should post this too:
Code:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.00001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.14

Yep this happens because you will not be able to downgrade the hboot with this official update, and because it is an old 3 rom, it contains an old bootloader.
You will either have to find a newer 3 rom with something like 0.93 bootloader or a newer wwe rom(3/htc won't care).
You might also be able to somehow flash an older bootloader using an s-off bootloader and fastboot, and then run the update afterwards, but that is way too complicated.
Which part of this?:
Code:
RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe
...contains the HBOOT version?
It doesn't, but the branded official roms are always that old, and as the rom version is 1.xx i know it is an android 2.1 rom, which means hboot 0.75 or 0.80.
Also your error message state the problem quite clearly.
And to clarify my last answer.. No you will not be able to find a 3 branded rom with a 0.93 hboot, so go for a wwe instead.
What about this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Don't use that - your Desire didn't come on that 3 UK RUU so no idea how it'll behave as you have a PVT4 Desire
There isn't a newer RUU and those old ones are for AMOLED Desire's only - you're kinda stuck
That might and might not work. It depends on the hboot included. The topic you link to uses a hboot version 0.83, because it works with all slcd phones as well. So if the 3 ruu contains 0.83 as well, this should work, and if it doesn't, you wont be able to install it anyway.
Now for gods sake please listen to me when i tell you that neither 3 nor htc will care whether your phone contains a branded rom.. They might not even care if it is rooted. So please just flash the damn wwe 2.2 rom...
My last post in here i think you get what i think you should do and i cant/wont help you risking doing something stupid.
Good news fellows
I flashed it using this:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed
and it worked no problem, I'm now back running Froyo 2.2 woop. cheers!

[Q] Vodafone AU RUU

Hey All,
Hopefully I'm not totally recovering ground someone has already asked about. But I had a query and I couldn't post under the thread I wanted to ask the question in.
A while back I created a gold card and put the WWE stock RUU on my phone (unbranded my Vodafone AU DHD). I'm still running the stock RUU Android 2.2, I never updated to 2.3. Due to a possible warranty issue coming up, I was thinking I should probably change it back to the Vodafone image. I can't find a Vodafone AU RUU installer for the DHD.
I have been looking at this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876
It seems pretty comprehensive, but I'm just wondering if it's the right guide I should be following. The only reason I ask is I have not rooted my phone or installed a custom ROM. All I've done is un-brand the phone with the Stock ROM and a gold card.
Looking in the boot loader it says:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0007
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Under Software info it says:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Software number: 1.32.405.6
Is there another way to install the Vodafone ROM or do I need to use Clockwork Mod? And do I need my phone rooted to do this (I've never used Clockwork)? Just want to easiest way to go back to the Vodafone ROM
Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm going over old territory.
You are on the right guide basically looks like you will need to have clockworkmod to get stock vodafone back.

[Q] HTC Desire USB brick s-on and unrooted

Please help me fix it. The sd-card cannot be read, can't be recognized on my pc, Bluetooth doesn't work and sim is out of service.
Have you looked at the TroubleShooting guide, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632
?
I'm too new at this, and won't be able to help, but you'll need to provide some more detail to get any assistance here, I think. Stuff like software and hardware versions, ROM, what you did to it to get it into the state it's in, how it behaves, etc.

I was backing up my ROM and the ClockWorkRecovery froze and only have an image showing a blurred out picture of the ClockworkRecovery picture so I pulled out my batteries. I tried to turn on my phone but it didn't work so i did a RUU and got me to s-on and unrooted. There was a high possibly that I was USB bricked before I did a Ruu.

Actually never mind it did work thank you very much!
