Hey guys,
I've a desire and decided to sell it but before that, i need to unroot it. I'm willing to pay.
Anyone interested?
Are you branded and do you know what was your software version out of the box.
What do you mean by branded? I got the set from M1 though..
I can't recall the orginal version but currently it is 2.13.707.1 after rooting with unrevoked.
Okay so you are in Singapore and need an Asian RUU.
Sounds like you have rooted but have not installed a custom ROM.
Download this RUU http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
Turn off your phone;
Turn on your phone holding the back button;
You have now entered "fastboot";
Plug you phone via the usb cable to the PC and then start the RUU.
And thats all?? No gold card or whatever sort of complex steps to get it unrooted?
If that's the correct ROM you won't need a gold card, it'll just work. If you get any error messages then chances are you were on another ROM originally
A gold card is only needed to move to a ROM not originally on your handset, e.g. I have an x.xx.405.x Desire so can only flash x.xx.405.x RUUs without a gold card
You need a goldcard if you are branded (for example having splash screen when booting and preinstalled apps by your carrier) and flashing a ROM or an update that is different software version from what you bought your phone with in the first place.
You should be unrooted just by doing the above.
After successful rooting i didn't do anything to the phone so it should work right? What will happen if it doesn't work? Will the phone be bricked?
No, just follow the steps and you will be unrooted.
I got this when i try running the ruu
error 5001 "please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications
Does it matter on what OS i'm doing this from? I'm currently using windows 7
Run it as admin.
Right click on the RUU and choose "run as administrator" (or sort of that).
RUUs run fine in Windows 7, I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and have no issues.
Obviously can't have any other programs installing when running an RUU as it is an installer in itself
I tired running as admin but still the same error pops up. I read from somewhere that HTC sync needs to be installed for it to work?
You don't need htc sync when you are in fastboot mode.
It's possible that the RUU which is a self-extracting archive can't be extracted properly. Check if you have the whole file and it's not corrupted, be sure that you have enough space to extract it (you probably have it).
Run the RUU on a fresh restart of the windows.
If you got another windows machine at hand you can do it on it.
Thanks for the help guys!
also you might want to check out many tutorials HOW TO on this forum or youtube etc
Yesterday I ran my evo through an ruu to get it to stock 2.2. After I did this I realized that there was a newer ruu. So I downloaded it but when I ran it it said that it could not find my evo. I have been running the ruus through fastboot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you run the 3.70 RUU?
Yes. I also went ahead and tried to do the HTC sync way but it says it can't find my phone after I start it.
You have sync still installed? Also the HBOOT drivers? Try uninstalling sync and run it again.
Alright. Do you mean the hboot drivers that you use when rooting?
Yurp, the very same drivers.
So I just install the hboot drivers then run the ruu through fastboot?
Right. Boot the phone into fastboot, connect to pc, once it shows up as fastboot usb on the phone, then run the RUU exe.
Alright thanks ill try it when I get home.
Why dont you just download the PC36IMG.zip and run it in the boot loader? So much easer IMO.
How do I do this?
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Download the 3.70 ruu /jan 2011, boot your phone into fastboot, connect to pc, once is shows fastboot usb on your phone, then run the ruu exe.
No I meant the other guy that posted.
Ah, well basically you find a PC36IMG with the RUU things in it. Though I'm not sure if its the img or the exe, but it should be an RUU .img.
Alright ill try the thing you told me earlier.
Well it should work, but I'll be lingering by.
Do I also need to uninstall the drivers that come along with htc sync?
No, just un-install the program, you need the drivers.
It didn't work.
Actually I think I had a really old version of sync. I downloaded the one from the evo download section of their website and I think it will work this time.
Hi. i tried to unroot my phone and install orange stuff back on by following a guide on this forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796975
When i followed the guide i kept on getting md5 error, so then i dont know what i did, i somehow installed something and now the phones stuck on htc screen, phone wont load. However i still can enter hboot menu. i have taken some pics so you can see. i will add them to Flickr.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaisar89/sets
the phones orange uk branded which i purchased from phones4u. Details on the box are as follows:
HTC Desire PM Handset
OHTN1132
IMEI:
S/N:
P/N
EAN
Barcode: 5 027141 592329
That is the all the information on the box.
can someone please give me a solution on how to fix this problem. Much appreciated. TY
Of I've followed that guide. That nandroid backup is the Orange version but it's still rooted. And in the guide it says to open up a file and remove one of the lines. That will fix the md5 error. Anyway to unroot properly just use an ruu.
Swyped...

ty for posting. i have not got a clue on how to use ruu or find an ruu for that matter. could you point me to an orange branded ruu. would i need to connect my phone to computer to use ruu? if so i cant connect the phone because i cant access phone and turn on usb debugging etc.
just go into fastboot mode, plug phone to computer and run the RUU on pc.
it will work.

hi, is there a stock orange ruu? if not the very least a stock htc ruu?
if possbile could you post link
in fastboot mode theres 4 options.
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
Which one do i need to select?
You just leave it in fast boot then plug it in to the computer you should see the red fastboot writing turn to fastboot USB plug then just run the ruu and that's it

No there isn't a stock Orange RUU - it's the one drawback of rooting an Orange-branded phone as there's no way of getting back to stock. You'll have to flash a stock unbranded RUU using a gold card
ok Ive read Eveywhere regarding my problem so Im after some help.
Currently have rooted Unbranded DHD Eng S-OFF + Custom Rom.
Need to send in for repair so need to stock it.
Ive tried to flash RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_199042_signed
but keeps sticking on the "Sending" Screen with HTC on phone.
Ive also tried to flash
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
but same as above.
When I originally rooted etc, I backed up my "Stock" Rom and I have restored that to the phone.
Questions are this.
If I install the OTA Update, will this return my phone to Stock ?
Why is the RUU not flashing.
Any help would be greatly received..
Regards
Shad.
You do really need to use an RUU to make sure that everything is completely stock. Are you sure that your computer is set up properly? Android SDK and all installed? If you have a desktop use the USB ports on the back as they are connected directly to the motherboard. The front ones are connected with a cable and are more prone to errors.
Try to factory reset the phone (through the settings menu) and then try to install the RUU again. Make sure USB debugging is on and Fast Boot is turned off.
Heres a guide just for reference.
1: Install 1.32.405.6 RUU
2: Use Visionary+ R14 to temproot, then permroot
3: Reboot
4: Use Jkoljo's Easy Radio Tool to set S-On and set the CID to the default HTC__001 (Unless your phone came carrier branded in which case the CID will be different)
5: Reboot
6: Reflash the RUU
7: Update to the latest software normally through software updates.
EDIT: An OTA update will not reset your phone back to stock. It will merely install a new ROM (or change the current one slightly) and maybe a new radio. It will leave it S-Off and everything.
So if I do
4: Use Jkoljo's Easy Radio Tool to set S-On and set the CID to the default HTC__001 (Unless your phone came carrier branded in which case the CID will be different)
That will take ENG S-OFF back to SHP S-ON ?
Also, will the RUU get rid of Clockwork ?
The Easy radio tool will take it back to Radio S-On
The RUU will get rid of the custom ROM, custom radio (if you have one), clockwork and put Eng S-On.
Well Fastboot is off. USB Debugging is on.
Factory Reset and still Not getting past the Sending screen....
Getting Annoyed now lol.
Any way to install via SD Card ?
Yes, the PD98IMG method.
Run the RUU until you get to the "Start Upgrade" type screen.
Don't start the upgrade.
Search your computer for rom.zip "it was extracted from the RUU"
Copy rom.zip to your SDCard.
Rename rom.zip to PD98IMG.zip
Reboot into Bootloader
Follow prompts.
ok SD Card Method works. YEY
Now SHP S-OFF also.
Thanks for the help !
I wanted to make a small guide how to return your HTC one m9 to stock with RUU exe installer. The steps are pretty simple so please follow them. Please note that this is only for WWE international models. Same procedure can be done for other regions, however, the files are different. Doing this, you will also get a latest Marshmallow and 3.35.401.12 update! This will save you of hassle to copy and flash your phone several times over to get it done, this procedure does all that. You will not even need to open a command prompt.
Before you do this procedure backup yours files somewhere safe. This will wipe everything you have on the phone to stock settings. This will also unroot your device and remove custom recovery if you had any.
Follow this guide step by step. Do not open / run anything if I haven't said so.
1. For sake of being organized make a new folder on your desktop called "RUU" and make sure your phone has more than 30% battery otherwise RUU procedure wont work.
2. Download HTC sync manager from here and install it (this can help if RUU installer starts derping with USB connections etc : http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
3. Download the RUU exe from here and put it in the RUU folder you created on the desktop: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952597788
4. Download the rom.zip file from here and put it in the RUU folder on your desktop. File name needs to be rom.zip
5. Navigate to TEMP folder by typing %temp% in the search bar. If you can't find the temp folder this way then simply navigate to: C:\Users\PCname\AppData\Local\Temp
6. Select all folders you see there and delete them. If you get a file in use or skip message then please do so.
7. Go back to the RUU folder we created earlier and run the RUU exe file from step 3 as an admin. Give it a little time to load and once you are here don't press on next.
8. Copy rom.zip file from RUU folder and navigate to %temp% folder. Paste rom.zip file here: http://prntscr.com/a5gwae
9. Once copying is finished go back to the RUU exe window from step 7 and start clicking next until it prompts you to update. Click on update to 3.35.401.12.
10. During this procedure the phone will go on and off for a few times and after several minutes it will give the message that procedure has been finished successfully.
- Please note that all files are official. Hope this little guide helped you.
TnQ so much man. I was searching for this RUU for a while but couldn't find it. I'm gonna test it tomorrow. BTW i have an unlocked bootloader and s-on, do i need to relock bootloader before installing RUU?
No, you don't have to.
Or just rename the rom.zip to 0PJAIMG.zip copy to the sd card root, after that power off the phone hold vol- and power select download mode and follow the instructions on the screen.
BTW thx for the rom
why is this not stickied?

Downgrades are not possible as long as you are S-ON. You need S-OFF to do this.
Send by the swarm intelligence of my coffee machine ?.
Ok so I could flash the same firmware via this method so long as the ruu matches? Unless of course I could s-off then s-on before sending the phone back in.

Please don't post more or less the same question in several threads. It's considered as rude behaviour on xda.
An xda search for "demo" would have been enough for finding this thread. If you read the whole thread you'll learn everything about the problems that arise with the latest firmware and the Demo-CID HTC__002.
