Are you asking how to have stock HBOOT or do you want the stock picture that is displayed when you turn on the phone?
Both are replaced when you flash the stock RUU file. If you have ENG S-OFF this will be replaced.

I know, but I will guarantee my device. So I did return ROM Vodafone branding. I just stayed off the S-Eng.
I do not have this device, unfortunately the stock rom. I installed the backup I took with Rom manager.
Turned the original bootloader. I just could not do on the Eng. S-ON

I made a mistake. Installing the stock RUU will NOT remove ENG S-OFF (HBOOT).
I apologise.
I was thinking about the one-click Radio S-OFF Tool.
I will try and see how to do this.

[Q]Stuck in errorscreen/Bootloader after unroot

Hi.
My Device:
HTC Desire PVT4 SLCD rooted, s-off
since my homebutton doesnt work anymore i wanted to make use of my warranty and send in the device. Problem is: it was t-mobile branded, so i had to s-off the device and use those custom installations (with the slcd installer and the OTA update i had to rename to update.zip. got the tutorial from a german site whose admin is known for helping with desire problems and stuff)
i follwed the instructions 1:1 but it somehow didnt work properly
Problem: My device is stuck on a certain screen and wont boot anything anymore.
The screen: HTC logo in the middle, triangles with ! in every corner
absolutely no reaction to any keypresses, the only thing that produces some kind of reaction is plugging and unplugging the usb cable, which gives me a screen similar to the bootloader screen that says:
--- AlphaRev ---
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Aug 10 2010,17:52:18
RUU (the only "usable" option, though i cant use it. its in orange)
What do i do now?
My device is, as stated above a german t-mobile device.
ive googled for hours now but dont find anything particular (especially since there are so many different desires out there today and t-mobile doesnt seem to like people to get a hand on their newe RUUs, or do they?)
i found the austrian RUU on t-mobile.at though i read on some german sites that this wont work on my device (maybe brick it even more?)
on shipped-roms.com there is a UK t-mob RUU, though i dont know whether this is 2.2 (since 2.1 doesnt have SLCD drivers) so im not sure whether to flash this one either
Can i even use a RUU at this point?
if you need any information i maybe forgot, tell me and ill try to find out
thanks in advance
(cant provide links since i am a first time poster)

Install HTC Sync, download the RUU which most resembles your original RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667.
Connect your phone via USB in fastboot, and run the RUU.exe you've downloaded. You should be fine.

yes it helps you
you can run a RUU now
just plug phone with usb cable to PC, boot into fastboot mode and execute the RUU.exe
it will go back to stock, you will lose root and custom recovery but at least it will boot up, so you can root again etc.

I think it is an UK ROM, so no German/Austrian one.
I found an thread in a German forum and they have linked an Austrian t-mobile RUU for Desire SLCD: http://www.t-mobile.at/servicedownloads4you/webnwalkmanager/HTC_Desire_Froyo_Update_RUU.zip
You need to unzip the file, don't flash the ZIP on your Desire!

thx a lot, someone on the german forums wrote something about the austrian rom not being compatible with german desires, so i flashed aforementioned UK RUU and it worked

Jerrol, here is a complete guide how to unroot the Desire:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268
It's easier than it seems ...
Short: After you flashed the stock Desire hboot (see here: http://alpharev.nl/) you can run the RUU via PC.
But don't try to install the RUU.zip via recovery. Just unzip it an run the .exe.
Cheers

Are you on the Bravo Stock Hboot already? If not, I suggest to flash Bravo Stock Hboot via fastbot not via PB99IMG - it is just saver.
Anyway, following the guide to unroot your Desire should be the best way to succeed

Hi.
You don't need to flash any HBOOTS or HBOOT donwngrader. Since you are S-ON you can't even do this, so exclude it from your steps and continue.
It can be a conflict with your HBOOT version if the RUU you are trying to run is too old and has a smaller HBOOT version (e.g. 0.80), and it won't install properly.
I always recommend to use the latest RUU available WWE 2.29.405.5, but this is at your discretion to choose. Also make sure your phone wasn't branded, or you'll going to need a Gold Card to install the RUU.
L.E.:

You need a Goldcard, yes. You have a branded phone. Only unbranded don't need it.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 Post 2 point 4 ff.:
4. Do I need a Goldcard?
If you have a recent version of the RUU for your Device, available on Shipped Roms, you dont need a goldcard. This is the usual scenario for people who purchased their Desire in Europe, and so have an unbranded Desire. All Branded Desires need a correct branded version of the RUU, and any other RUU including WWE (Worldwide English, or European) RUU will not work for them. Also if an unbranded Desire user wishes to change RUU to a branded version, he will need a Goldcard. This is because all Desires have a particular software tag in the Rom, called the InfoCID. This dictates the Region code. For Eg. An Indian Desire is branded and has InfoCID of HTC__038. When you change a RUU to different region, what you actually do is reset the InfoCID setting. Changing the InfoCID setting requires a Goldcard.
5. What is a Goldcard?
It is a normal MicroUSB card specially prepared in such a way that its Sector 0 (which normally doesnt hold anything useful) is modified, so that it signals to the HTC RUU that the InfoCID may be changed.
6. How do I create a Goldcard?
Just download this tool (Credits and All Rights by [email protected]), and run it.
7. Can you tell me more about Goldcards?
Sure. I've already posted it for you. Read the FAQs in this thread.

Hi you should make sure that the version ain't lower than what you have on your phone ( the version is 2.12.110.4 ), or, as I said, there will be a HBOOT conflict (if the HBOOT is lower).
Anyway I think you can give it a try without the Gold Card, since this is T-Mobile RUU, it should work, although it is recommended you make a gold card. There are lot's of threads on how to do this even without the phone.
Nothing bad will happen, besides the fact that it won't work and give you an error.

[Q] ROOT with stock 2.3.5

I have the HTC DHD and I just want root access on my current ROM. I'm running the stock Sense 3.0 Android 2.3.5. I have considered using the aahk for this job but I think there is no way to backup my current ROM before downgrading. I will be flashing other ROMs once I have root so i need a S-OFF as well. I just need a copy of my current ROM because my phone is still under warranty and I want to have the ability to unroot it and return it to it's former state if I ever need to. I know that the aahk is the way to go, I just don't know how to make the backup of my current ROM before the downgrade.
Wht version of the rom do u have. Plus if u just want to backup ur rom for warranty or returning to stock, u can do tht by running stock RUU on your phone but i am not sure if u can find specific carrier roms but as for WWE(worldwide edition) i am sure u can.

On the phone under "Software number" it says 3.12.405.1. In the efffen manual the only ROM with that number is HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 . Is that the same ROM? If it is, also in the efffen manual it says that it downgrades HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 to HTC WWE EU GB 2.50.405.2...
That is exactly why I want to do the backup before I downgrade.
Do you need to know what carrier I'm on to help me or is the ROM number enough?
No I thinks it's ok. Use apps from market to backup stuff like sms/mms, contacts before rooting.

Since you need to downgrade from your current version to root your phone, I'm not aware of a way to back up your current app data or system settings. You can back up your apps, though, with Titanium Backup or something similar.

I'm not sure how warranties work (mine is long out of warranty), but yes, if you need to have the same build version on the phone as when you got it, you will need to find your original RUU.

Wait a minute, you're already S-OFF. You're already rooted. What is it you want to do?

[Q] Can't Update passed 4.0.4

Okay, so I have a One X, International with quad-core. CID is HTC__001.
I've had a few problems over the passed year with the phone and I had to send it into HTC twice, and on the second occasion, they replaced everything except the plastic frame.
Ever since I've received the phone back it has had 4.0.4, and I haven't been able to update. I manually search for updates but it says it's up to date.
Not exactly sure where to go from here, I've been hesitant to do anything about it because last time I updated to 4.0.4, which is when I had the problem, HTC had to replace the phone.
Anything will be appreciated. Not the most tech savy when it comes to this kind of stuff
Thanks
Johnny
Look for the 3.14.401.31 ruu and run it. It will flash the phone (if successful) to stock jellybean and wipes the phone. So back up stuff you need. Better to be safe than sorry.

Hey sorry, but just want to clarify, how exactly do I go about doing this, do I just plug in my phone and run the .exe. Also do I need to be rooted?
Thanks

Your bootloaded should be locked or relocked and you just start .exe file. You don't have to be rooted.
Since you got phone from HTC, bootloader is locked so you can start .exe file right now.
Hey, so I tried to run the ruu. I went through the process and got a "signature error 132" on the Update Utility. So after some research apparently the ruu that I downloaded was the wrong one, which was "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed"
In the attached image it has all the information.
From what I understand, something about 2.17.1900.1 is important, but I have no further knowledge and I'd love to hear what you guys think.
Thanks a lot,
Johnny

When you start bootloader are you S-ON or you are S-OFF. And are you Endeavoru XE or PVT
I sssumed because of the cid he was on 401 but has a variant the 1900......not sure that the 401 works indeed
Okay, so after looking around I couldn't find anything with 1900. Would anyone be able to redirect me?
And to answer Thant's question, I am S-ON and Endeavoru PVT.
From what I understand, you need to be rooted to become S-OFF, but this will allow you to run any ruu as it is no longer dependent on the "1900." Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd love to hear the best course of action from you guys.
Thanks
Well i would check with your provider/HTC ! I assume your bootloader is still locked atm, keep it that way and return with the statement that you can't update it while the update should be there. And if there is no available update then they should give a reason why it's not available !
If they can't help you at all you can try to unlock the bootloader and flash the 3.14.401 firmware to upgrade the hboot. Don't know if it works but might be worth a try

Hey, just ran the 2.17.401.2 ruu and it worked! I'm going to run the 3.14.401 ruu soon, I'll report back with the results.
Thanks a bunch guys
EDIT: Hey so I tried to run the 3.14.401.31 and it didn't work, another signature error. So what I did was scanned for software update and I found an update for ICS, so I updated 4.0.4 further, restarted the device, scanned again for software and there it was 3.14.401.27, downloading as we speak
Thanks guys for the help
Awesome ! And thanks @Thant for this nice find :thumbup:
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup of the stock rom when you decide to install a new custom rom !
CASE CLOSED !

[Q] Back to stock

Hi,
after i have bought my new HTC One mini 2 i would like to go with my Desire back to the beginning.
I searched here and also on other sites for the best and simplest way. Most sites say to use the RUU.exe but i couldn't find it here http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads.
But than i found this post here on XDA that tells me not to use RUUs.
So what is the best way for me??
I want the stock ROM with no tweaks no a2sd, just the way it was when i bought it. I don't care weather there is root/s-off or not. I wanted to use my nandroid backup but it was made with an other Recovery and i don't know how to get back to it.
So in the best case i have my desire just the way it was after i rooted it. (with the stock rom from HTC but with recovery and root permission

To get complete stock then u need to use an ruu. So if ur s-on, relock ur bootloader
fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu.
S-off, then make sure ur on stock hboot then flash the Alpharev downgrade.img then run the ruu. To get the correct ruu, google "shipped roms" then find ur device (bravo).
Or if u want it stock but rooted then look at development thread for stock roms and flash it in recovery.
If u want to restore ur old nandroid then id say u cant because u made the nandroid with different recovery. So im guessing that ur using 4ext recovery now? And im guessing when u rooted for the first time u used CWM recovery? So if thats the case, flash CWM recovery then restore nandroid.

Your descriptions are conflicting.
If you want it the way you bought it (fully stock, S-ON etc), then RUU is the proper, easiest way.
If you restore any kind of nandroid backup, then it will be rooted with whatever A2SD it had at the time, i.e. this is the way you bought it...

I thought these commands only work on Nexus devices? I've never needed to use them on the Desire anyway.
Even if the desire is S-ON, the 2.3.3 GB RUU should run without issue.
@HandyBesitzer
There's a whole troubleshooting guide stickied the top of Q&A dedicated to all of this. Follow it to the letter for your particular situation. Find and flash the 2.3.3 GB RUU
I always thought that when ur htc dev unlocked bootloader, then u need to relock the bootloader. I always had s-off so never tried it with the desire but with s-on with htc desire s and sensation u need to relock the bootloader first or ruu wont run, just thought it would be the same with the desire.

Guess so, depends on how / if OP unlocked the bootloader
- If it's dev unlocked, then those commands will likely apply then
- If he's S-ON, he could still have rooted with original unrevoked method for instance. I don't believe those fastboot commands wouldn't apply, RUU would work straight over the top
- If it's revoluationary / alpharev S-OFF, downgrader instructions as you said

Black screen
Hi, I have a Desire. I used Alpharev to get S-On to install a RUU. The RUU has been installed, when it restarted the screen remained black. The phone starts,the buttons are lighted but the screen is black.
It seems to be a software problem.
Can anyone help me?

You flashed the wrong RUU
You flashed an SLCD RUU which is meant for an AMOLED device, or the other way around. In other words, it's incompatible with your screen type, which is why your screen remains black.
Look at bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, it covers this. You will need to use the 2.3.3 GB RUU as outlined above.

wasn't 2.2.2 the latest Version for Desire??
first to clear what i did to get the s-off, root,...
I used unrevoke to get s-off, so HTC does not know what i did to my phone
I also installed a new hboot a while ago, but i think i went back to the old. SO do i need the downgrade there??
About my first recovery it was Amonra, because cwm did not work for me first. Now i have the 4ext. It's simply the best
Also it is possible i updated my radio i don't know but i think i did it. Is that a problem??
I'm in my fastboot now and see this:
--- AlphaRev ---
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
Microp-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

So the RUU flashed successfully, it boots into the stock ROM, but you can't navigate the screen? Do the hardware buttons work? Does it react at all?
Still recommend to use the 2.3.3 GB RUU. Even guy above with one post managed to follow the given instructions first time, find it and flash it successfully

Rooted, ROM'd, and wondering!

I've just finished rooting and installed a custom ROM on my device, but now I'm looking into S-Off. My question is, how?
I did this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706391
and now I don't have Wi-Fi, which apparently means that my firmware needs to be updated.
How, exactly, does one do that when you're no longer on the service provider it was on?
I'm on T-Mobile now, it was on AT&T. The phone is an AT&T HTC One M8.
I've got the files for Firewater, but I'm not 100% sure how to go about it, other than following tutorials I've found. Anyway, if someone could assist me in this search, it would be greatly appreciated.
Chances are firewater is not going to work, you'll need to use Sunshine S-off (pay 25$), S-off jas nothing to do with carrier
Sunshine: http://theroot.ninja
Firewater instructions: http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
If I try Firewater, is there a chance to royally mess up my work? I.E. brick me, or will it error out beforehand?
firewater does NOT work. and will never work again. You can own the files but they won't work as it has has to establish a connection to the s-off server which is offline. sunshine is the one and only way. you can read that in the s-off thread here on xda and on their website !
and also questions belong in the Q&A section so please use that board the next time instead of the general subforum.
good luck with sunshine

Ah, see, this is the info that I couldn't find at all. I had no idea it was server-related, so it wouldn't work. I thought all the files were local, that's why I was investigating. Well, as long as Sunshine will work and not mess anything up, I guess that's what I'm going to have to do. Even though there's another ROM on my phone, I should still be able to use Sunshine and get the firmware updated without any issues, yeah? I would just like to get confirmation from someone who knows my exact situation and not search the forums to a situation "Similar" to mine and eff up my phone.

S-OFF means do as you like, change firmwares, convert to GPE and back to sense. S-OFF is freedom
Okay, here's where I'm at, if anyone would inform me in the direction I should take...
I've unlocked the bootloader, flashed a ROM, and rooted. Wi-Fi doesn't work because I need the newer firmware on the device.
In order to get the newer firmware, I need to have S-Off. I don't. Sunshine doesn't work because the ROM I have flashed is a 5.0.1 version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706391 If it helps.
Can I go digging to find a KitKat-based ROM and see if Sunshine will work then, or do I need to go through the BS to flash stock everything on my phone and THEN run Sunshine? I'd really like some advice before I royally mess something up.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I found this and it looks like something that might work. Flash InsertCoin, download and pay for Sunshine, S-Off, flash firmware, go back to SkyDragon?

Forgive me for asking, but I've searched... Where is this rooted stock one you're talking about?
All right, I've flashed back to as stock as I can find, but it's still not allowing Sunshine to be installed.
However, I've stumbled upon something saying that if the Recovery is fastboot booted, it acts as though the device is S-Off? If I run the recovery in such a manner, could I possibly flash a new Firmware on there like that?

Okay, here's an update:
I flashed that ROM you showed me, Alex, and then used Sunshine to S-Off my M8. That worked. I paid for it, all is well.
Flashed the Viper ROM, but didn't have Wi-Fi. So, I went back to SkyDragon, same thing.
I flashed firmware 4.28.401.9 (I think. I did typed that from memory..) but I still have no Wi-Fi.
I'm going to try to flash the GPE firmware now. I'll edit once I get it up and running!

Okay, here's an update:
I flashed that ROM you showed me, Alex, and then used Sunshine to S-Off my M8. That worked. I paid for it, all is well.
Flashed the Viper ROM, but didn't have Wi-Fi. So, I went back to SkyDragon, same thing.
I flashed firmware 4.28.401.9 (I think. I did typed that from memory..) but I still have no Wi-Fi.

If your wifi isn't working with ViperOne, then the firmware didn't flash correctly. Go to your bootloader/hboot and check the readout there. What it says under OS is your firmware version. If it is blank it is because of your recovery. TWRP 2.8.0.3 is recommended. You can also tell by the hboot number. 3.19 = 4.4.4 firmware

That's awesome to know. I literally just flashed the GPE firmware, and I think I partitioned properly. (no errors while installing) It's currently doing the first boot.
Flashing that GPE firmware was nerve-racking. It went sooo slow. Here's hoping it goes through! UPDATES TO COME! I'm excited.
UPDATE:
HOLY HNNNNNNNNNNNNNG IT WORKED.
Good LORD I CAN FINALLY DOWNLOAD MY UPDATES.
Please excuse the caps, I'm effing excited right now. THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE.
Nice that you have it working.. Don't forget.. If you want to go back to sense you need the sense firmware.. As the partitions are a bit different.. Btw I'm very happy ? with gpe 5

Right at this point, I don't care to go back to Sense firmware. I'm spoiled by the bright look of SkyDragon, so this is where I'm staying!
