My friend has installed a custom ROM on his HTC Desire. It is not working properly so is there any way he can revert back to the original HTC Desire firmware?
I have looked online and cannot find it for him. I use an SGS with the original Samsung firmware (not the one from my provider) from Sam Firmware, which is what made my friend mess with his.
Ask your friend to install this ROM. Its original stock firmware.

or look for the right RUU update, to get the device completely back to stock (unrooted)
be careful to use the right file though

Hi Guys,
I recently rooted and put a custom froyo 2.2 rom onto my HTC Desire. In the process i must of lost the backup of the original rom that shipped with the phone. The phone was bought with Vodafone Ireland and the baseband is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 . Im not sure but the guide i used to update my phone advised updating the radio (which i think is the same as the baseband). What i want to do is to download an original 2.1 (or 2.2) Rom so i can update to froyo the offical way. Basically the rom i currently have is buggy and i wanted to upgrade/downgrade to 2.1. I dont know what i need to do with my radio version or what difference it makes.
So my questions are:
1. Can someone link me a place i can download original HTC Desire Rom 2.1 so i can restore my phone to normal and upgrade to 2.2 through offical OTA?
2. What difference does the radio make? Why do i need to update that when i install a rom?
Thanks
oh and also if i put the original rom on it does that undo the rooting? Basically i want a stable version of 2.2 that i will be able to recieve updates in the future through offical methods (OTA)
i need this too
Look in the development section, there you can find RUU's those are original roms.
If u get an original ruu and follow instructions to install Froyo will be available for its system update. This includes an updated radio.

Thanks, Does this get rid of rooting? and do i need to pick a RUU that has the same radio as mine?
this "Updates" your desire, making completely stock like, from what i know you have to choose what fits you phone, if it's Hboot .80 or that other one...
it will lock your recovery too...
hey sorry about all my noob questions but i tried the following page before
"HTC Desire > Desire Android Development > [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URL"
and any of the ones i tried dont seem to work. Is it someting to do with the fact that none of them are the same radio as mine?
Im guessing i should be trying the gsm ones. i tried to install some of the zips through rom manager from GSM HTC OTA Update URLs but they failed.
by "lock" do you mean that i will never be able to recover again and ya my hboot is .80
guys,
Can someone please help with this, im really stuck.
Thanks
Hi mates,
my desire has originally been branded t-mobile (Germany), then i flashed a simple rooted 2.2, then RCMix HD.
now i would like to revert to a stock htc rom (2.2), since there is still no sign of a solution for the camera problem.
my question is: which is the latest unbranded release of 2.2 for a german gsm desire?
and on a related matter: will a backup restore work on an earlier version?
Greetings, max
please?
pretty please?
i tried running the signed ruu exe from this forum, but i got a user ID error
The stock 2.29.405.2 RUU, or any different from the original T-Mobile one, will need a gold card to flash. Search on how to make one
well, i can't make a goldcard at the moment, because my computer keeps telling me i need to format my sd card, when i plug my phone in in storage mode (one of the reasons i want to revert).
isn't there a rom that is close to stock 2.2 but rooted, that i could just flash in recovery? i have looked at a lot of roms here, but they all are in one way or another modified, which i do not want.
anyone happen to know a suitable rom for me?

I have a rooted Desire that was originally on Virgin UK, it had the boot screen and some Virgin apps but wasn't locked to any network. The problem is I never backed up my original rom and after being on a rooted phone now for ages I want to return it to a standard 2.2 stock unbranded rom but because im new to all this, I have no idea how its done or where to get the rom from. I asked this question on Modaco and someone gave me a link to what was meant to be a stock UK rom but when I extracted it it was a HTC app which I had no idea what to do with when I ran it it looked for my phone but I was to scared to plug it in incase it bricked my phone, I was expecting a rom that was installed from my SD card. Was I suppose to plug in my phone and allow this HTC app to return my rooted phone to stock? if not what do I do to return it to a unbranded 2.2 and where do I get the rom/app from.
Cheers
You need to find the RUU from Virgin but I'm not sure the new ones have been leaked

How to install the stock rom for htc design evo 4g ? the original rom is gingerbread but i updated the phone to 4.0.3.. how i can downgrade to gingerbread or install gingerbread ?
someone ?
Hey, sorry this is late but I just came here since I was looking to do the same for my EVO 4G since I got a new phone. I'll be giving this to my dad since he doesn't have a smartphone and is going to start with my old one.
You're looking for the HTC EVO Design 4G? I couldn't seem to find a forum section for that phone. What you're looking for is an RUU file. It's what HTC phones use to restore them to an official stock ROM. The codename for the EVO Design 4G is Kingdom. You can find the RUU's here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Kingdom
I'm not sure if this will get you back to Gingerbread. From some quick Google searches, I believe the 2.12.573.7 one (the top one) is Gingerbread. You would download the .exe file and run it. Make sure you phone is connected to the computer via USB and follow the instructions that come up.
