Well, seeing as you're posting during the working day I wouldn't really expect an answer til at least lunch time...I'd say flash a stock RUU and see if that works. If so it's an issue with the rooting

What RUU did you try? Vodafone or WWE? Which ROM was your phone on when you first got it?

Try to flash the ruu in fastboot mode, hold back key while powering on then when in fastboot try the ruu again.
I bought it in black market, when desire wasnt officially available here..
I tried WWE..which dint work..
it 100 GSM so goin to try TMO and vodafone next..
will that make my desire sim locked???
If so, can it get it unlocked again?.. otherwise it wont be of any use to me..
and hey i appreciate ur help man..thnx..
Right...
Without knowing the original software version on the Desire it's hard to work out what it came with. Download this file:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
Once downloaded, rename it PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip), copy it to the root of your SD card and then reboot the phone into HBOOT. Assuming it can read the sd card it'll find the update and ask you to flash it. Do so and see what happens. If it works then you're unbranded, if not you're branded and then it's anyone's guess which RUU to use
It didnt work...so its branded for sure...
trying Vodafone UK rom now..hope it works..

Even if it's branded, it ought to have worked with a goldcard..Are you sure the goldcard was in the phone, and not some other sdcard?
yes goldcard is in that sdhc..
Tmo RUU failed...hope vodafone does the trick..
It worked....finally got it working..phew..
now just cant get a2sd+ to work..
I have a2sd+ rom, ext3 partition with rom manager..but a2sd+ aint workin..Quick info show " no info available" below a2sd+..
gave up on a2sd+..
tried installing normal rooted rom..mother f%$ker son of bi$$h phone keeps on restarting...its similar to that overheating and reboot loop prob..
any solutins in this...I am actually thinking of throwing this desire nw and take a simple 2nd hand phone..

[Q] reboot and htc sync problems

Hi guys!
First : 2 months ago I've got the reboot-issue usually when i try use mobile network.
Sometimes i experience the problem after couple of minutes of playing with any game on my phone.
Which company i should send back the phone:- dial-a-phone , - orange , -htc.
Second : I tried to unroot the device but htc sync(3.0.5511) is not recognising it.
My phone is running Gingervillain 1.1 (gingerbread 2.3).Should i try downgrade first?
Anyone experienced this?Any suggestion?I wouldnt be worry if i know that i can send the phone back like this and they will return it with the stock rom without risking to lose the warranty.
Thanks in advance.
i would suggest flashing the WWE RUU before sending it back to Orange/HTC.
You will need a goldcard to do this if you dont already have one.
Do a search in XDA and you will find instructions on how to do it.
The RUU you want is 2.29.405.2 which you can download here...
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
This will get you back to HTC stock, no root etc...
There isnt currently a way to get back to true Orange stock
thanks mike!

[Q] Return to stock

hi guys, can some please help me on this. im a bit stock. i am on tmobile network and have a DHD and i would like to return to stock. i have gone to the HTC Desire HD files but i dont know which one to use for me to return back to stock. can anyone tell me which one it is or post a link for me please as i dont want to flash the wrong one. I really need it as i need to send it back for repair. I really need it asap. Also i have 1 problem, my volume up button is stuck and when i turn my phone on, it vibrates 3 times and the orange light just flashes. is there a way to sort this out?
Since you want to send it to repair, ask them to repair the "stuck" volume button problem.
here is the link to go back to stock.

Here is also a little shorter version from jkoljo's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=857537):
"To go back to S-ON:
•Flash stock ROM (RUU)
•Temproot using Visionary
•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
•Enjoy your factory-state phone"
And here is the RUU for Telus DHD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932771 (Notice that I'm not sure if this is the recommended version for your phone but this is the only one I could find with a quick search)
@hedayat7
Thanks for exactly copying one of my posts but it isn't the Telus RUU that he needs
@Rawdi
Was your phone branded when you got it?

i dont know if it was. how do i know if it was? please help me. i love my DHD too much for it to turn into a coaster. if i send it back to tmobile, even though i have rooted it, does it void the warranty?
What exactly did you do when you flashed a custom rom (assuming you did)?
@Hawks556 , hehe .. very lazy to type new post, found yours and copy paste.
btw, credit to Hawks556 . hehe

nothing, i have the leedroid rom and what i did was a restart as it was playing up a bit. when i did the restart, the 3 vibrates started and the orange light started to flash. i went in to CWM and did a key test and the volume up button did not respond so i take it is stuck. the way that i go into CWM was i plugged in my charger and the CWM comes up. i really dont know what i can do. also i dont want tmobile to know that i rooted my DHD as i heard it voids the warranty. any ideas on what i can do?
I meant how did you flash it? Did you have to use a goldcard etc? Did your phone have any t-mobile logos anywhere (eg bootanimation) when it was running stock rom? If not then you can do this:
- Flash stock ROM (RUU http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_A....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe)
- Temproot using Visionary
- Use my tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537), do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID, should be T-MOB005 for t-mobile uk)
Above steps were provided by jkoljo
Also messing with the software shouldn't really void the warranty because the defective volume button is solely a physical fault. There could ofcourse be a dispute of somekind, but in the end they have no right to refuse warranty service.
This could though become o problem if you have any software related warranty issues in the future.

[Q] Reverting for repair

Hey,
I know there's already a thread on this but I wanted to ask which order I need to carry out the process and any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to return my DHD as there are problems with the speaker. I have a new radio, eng-off, s-off and a custom ROM. Which ones do I revert first in order to return to stock without messing up the phone?
Thanks !
You may be able to get away with sending the phone back even if it's not on a stock ROM. I have read other posts on here where people have sent their phones in for repair with custom ROM's and HTC have not been bothered about it, and whenever you send your phone in for any type of repair - they will always wipe the phone and re-install the phone with the latest stock ROM.
From what you have described about the problems you have got with your phone, I imagine the first thing HTC will do before doing any physical repairs on the phone is to re-flash the phone with the latest stock ROM to see if it fixes any of the problems on the phone.
My DHD has been back to HTC twice for the same camera blur problem and I had previously rooted the phone, Radio S-OFF and installed a custom ROM but then I did revert it back to stock with Radio back to S-ON right before I sent it back to HTC for the repair. The first time it went back HTC, all they did was re-flash the phone with the latest stock ROM and sent the phone back to me and hoped that it cured the problem. Within 10 minutes of getting the phone back I knew that the problem was still present and then within a couple of days it was back with HTC again for the same problem and that is when they finally physically repaired the phone.
Edit - from what I have just found out, it doesn't matter which ROM you have installed but the most important thing is to make sure that you revert the phone's Radio back to S-ON before sending it back.

Thanks, so I just have to get radio S-on back? What about eng-on ? I used the two tools to do it originally, so I'll just have to use them again ?

Yes that's right, just use the tool to revert them back to ON. When I did the process and after I used the tool to revert them back to ON, I just downloaded a stock RUU ROM that you run through Windows and then the program re-flashes your phone back to the stock ROM.
Liam
i would back to stock, just in case... i really don't think htc bothers with it, because it's way more simple to fix the phone than fight against the client.
but, since with the original RUU is very easy to back it to stock, i don't see why you shound't do...
regards!
Ok thanks. I have got radio back to S-ON but I still have eng-off. Will this matter? I can't seem to find out how to revert it back to on.

Did you read the instructions in my tool's thread? It says pretty clearly there that you should run stock RUU
I've been thinking this for a while, since I have an issue with volume rockers (they aren't as outside the chassis as a friend's) from the very first moment I bought.
Does anybody have this issue? or think it's a hardware problem HTC would repair?

When you install an official RUU you revert to original factory state. I believe bootloader,root,ENG/SOFT-OFF etc... dissapears

almost everything desappear by flashing original RUU, except Radio S-OFF, that can be changed by jkoljo's tool.
but, since you lose the root when you flash RUU, you will root your phone again with visionary, after that, use the jkoljo's tool to get s-on, unroot and uninstall visionary. done, just it.

Not exactly but close. My volume rockers work, it's just they are sunken to bottom and haven't that normal touch i've seen on other DHDs
Anyway, thanks for linking post. I'll talk a bit there
