after doing a search it seems Orange RUUs have never been released officially so it doesnt look good im afraid

okay but if I flash HTC ruu will it restore my device to stock?

Well u can flash a generic HTC ruu but it still won't have the Orange branding or Orange bloatware apps

Not been able to find the stock Orange ROM myself. I'm still struggling to get past the rooting stage to get rid of my Orange ROM. I've followed the video tutorial but keep getting stuck at the CID error. How do you manage to get rid of the Orange bloatware on your device?

Somebody plz help him he's our only hope at the moment for orange in rom

I think your only option is to try a generic ROM because that removes the root, the only thing is that it won't have the Orange mod.
If the process works then you should be able to re-root the phone and have everything working again anyway

If I flashed the orange rom it would remove the root.
So how would they know?
Just immerse it in water if its insured lol. Have another then

How about flashing an old generic unrooted rom and see if you get offered an OTA update by orange?
Biker, what's wrong with the phone itself? Is there physical damage something?
Sorry mate you can't find the Orange Rom any place I have the same problem

You should look at the modaco forum, but it is a french rom

And it has English language

Mine went in after I debranded to the stock ROM and I wasn't charged as it was a hardware fault. You could try your luck with it.

[Q] Need to flash back to stock Orange ROM for warranty repair.

Hi there, Got a desire which I rooted using goldcard method way back when I first got the phone (flashed it with stock HTC ROM to get rid of branding etc).
Now I have to send the phone back for a warranty repair and i'm not sure how to get back to stock rom. I tried using revoked3 to root it so I could install the orange ROM but had no luck (possibly due to the fact it was rooted via goldcard method as its carrier locked).
Would it be as easy as getting the orange ROM and just updating it normally? Or will I have to go through the whole tedious goldcard method again?
The big problem is that there isn't an Orange RUU available and, as far as I know, no-one has dumped it to install as an update zip.
If you did find it anywhere then you shouldn't need the gold card.

At the moment, there isn't one.
Perhaps you should just flash the WWE RUU and hope orange dont ask questions
Unfortunately, you're in the same boat as all orange customers that have rooted....

And t mobile uk customers with slcd screens wwe ruu is the only way or my way which was to use an amoled ruu which blanked the screen so along with a new motherboard it also got a screen! Not that I did it intentionally mind! Sheer luck saved the day.

No, any Android 2.1 RUU (1.xx.110.x) will black screen your phone. You're stuck so you'll need to send it with the stock ROM on it and hope they still do it

How do I unroot, restore default ROM, restore default hboot and go back to S-ON. Basically 100% stock since I need to send my phone back to the provider due to hardware issues. Many thanks.

Download and run the latest ruu. Check the Desire Index thread.

Actually, you need to download the latest RUU for YOUR Desire. Did you make a note of it before flashing a new ROM?
You can find everything in this thread

Yes it does

He means the RUU specific for your carrier and handset, im guessing this would be the 3 UK one based on your avatars.

Hi
When I tried H3G uk its saying ur phone ready to use but screen not working when i tried WWE(world wide english), it stated the customer id prob, install correct RUU.
You need a gold card for a non-3 UK RUU - sounds ike you have an SLCD screen and flashed an AMOLED RUU, hence the black screen
Out of interest, if you run available 3uk ruu and check for updates, won't it update it for you? Mine was 3uk before root and custom ROM, so might need this info at some point. Thanks

Yes, but if you can't see what you're doing it'll be hard to do it
I see what you mean lol. In old Nokia days we used to change language to Chinese on the friend phones. After having it done to me a few time I could change it back with my eyes closed. LOL

Restore Desire HD Orange UK using AHHK

I was wondering if I can restore to Stock orange using AAHK.I think the original Rom and radio are still there just need a step by step to see if i can do it.Think I will keep Rev HD Rom but would be nice to know in case of warranty issues.
Any help appreciated..
Currently the kit does not have a return to stock option for orange branded devices. If your device is unbranded then yes, but last I remember orange has theirs branded
There's an RUU somewhere, I used it for a warranty claim

The only uk orange branded RUU I was able to find is This one but I dont know if it applies.
Btw running a RUU keeps your phone S-Off and can still be a problem with warranty (usually S-On is required)
