Dear experts in xda,
I got am Asia (Chinese) 2.1 Non-root stock Desire for myself, I thinking not waiting for the official release for Asia and try some Europe roms out here. but I'm afraid that I might need to come back to the stock Chinese rom sometimes, yet I can't find any on the web (some are testing versons).
I want to know how could I make myself something like an RUU or anything to back up my current un-rooted stock rom? so that I could make sure I can come back to my Chinese rom.
thank you so much

You can also do a nandroid backup. Root (use unrevoked3, fast and safe), then install ROM Manager from the market. Run it and tap the "Backup Current ROM" entry. Enter the name for your backup, allow ROM Manager to use su. Your device will reboot into recovery and make a complete backup of all your data (the ROM, apps, etc.). You can always restore it from recovery or ROM Manager.

Well, that's what I did. Running Pinky Desire now, with nandroids for NextSense, LeeDroid, stock Eclair and OTA FroYo

It sounds cool, I'll give it a try when I have time, but in case I wanna upgrade to Official ASIA CHT 2.2 verson when it rolls out, could I unroot using unrevoked3 as well?

thx
thx guys for helping out. but 1 last simple question,
is there no way to backup my stock rom WITHOUT rooting or flashing custom roms?
Guys, I have finally rooted with Unrevoked 3, but I found App2Ssd is more complicated than I think,plus I heard that 2.2 for Asia has already rolling out,
Assuming I can't find my current ROM on the web,how could I unroot without my current RUU?

Hey,
Would any of you know when the 2.29.xx firmware will be available for the htc desire with orange rom??
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
going on their performance on releasing updates in the past...about 2011...maybe.
You can contact orange customer services and ask, but they'll just lie to you.
I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you
Ok, so would i benefit from rooting this phone and putting a official debranded desire rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Possibly, but what benefits do you expect?
The problem with being on orange branded is that there's no way to get back to an orange stock rom after rooting.
This would possibly affect any warranty claims so it is a risk.....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You can root then use nandbackup so if you want to go back you can restore to orange rom.
I forget to backup mine but never regretted as I have using stock roms.

but once its rooted that effects the warranty and you'll be liable to pay for any repairs.
you are correct.
i have tried before to restore an orange nand and then apply the latest OTA over the top to try and get it unrooted but i haven't got it to work...
i may try again.
in the meanwhile, we'll just have to hope an RUU becomes available.
You can get back to fully unrooted stock orange rom I helped make a guide somewhere in the dev section. It is takes a lot longer than an ruu but it's possible.
But you still end up with the superuser icon in the menu.
No you don't you remove the superuser icon when you have root you can use adb to remove the icon and other stuff rooting adds to your phone
ste,
i've tried the process you did a number of time.
i think it only worked on an AMOLED Desire (0n 2.1).
i've tried with a Froyo orange nand and tried to flash the latest OTA over it to get rid of root but it just bootloops.
dont know if there's anything else that could be tried....
i dont actually need to go back to orange stock but it would be nice to know if theres a way.
Yea the backup is from my phone which is amoled. I dont know if flashing the 2.2 update will let slcd screens be used. To get out of bootloop flash tge update twice. Once removes clockwork mod recovery. The 2nd time the update will be flashed on stock recovery and you should be out of bootloop
I have S-ON and a custom, virtuous rom. I need to flash back to stock for a warantee. Whenever i try to flash a stock rom, or a nandroid clockword mod craps out. What should I do? I have a G2 (the one tmobile sells)
Is a G2 or a desire z? You failed to mention that. Either way just Google "stock told" with whatever phone you have. They are always laying around this thread as well.

Hmmmmm
I have tried doing the PC10IMG thing, and when I do it it says that the main version is older. I think I have the G2, whichever one T-Mobile sells in the U.S really.
Im selling my G2 and thought i had made backup prior to flashing to CM7.
What is the best "official" rom to go back to? And maybe a little noob guidence. I beileve i just boot to recovery and then restore yes?
The official ROM is T-Mobile's stock ROM. You can find it along with a guide here

I dont want to unroot i just want to go to stock gingerbread rom
Well, I assumed you wanted to sell the phone in a state similar to as if it just came from the factory, in which case flashing the original stock ROM would be unrooted.
Than flash virtuous 2.0 - i think this is as close to stock you can get, with some good tweaks and you are still rooted

I was also confused. "Stock" implies stock, as in factory condition, i.e. unrooted...

He`s got a G2 though which means he never had HTC Sense, he would want Virtuous G-Lite if anything (unless that`s what you meant in which case my bad haha)
I think there are a few rooted stock gingerbread roms in the dev section. Flash those for a rooted stock experience.

There are stock 2.3.4 roms that are already rooted, but it screws up. I was in the same situation. I suggest try to go back to stock 2.2 (Froyo) and then install updates. I don't think rooting the G2 on 2.3.4 is worth it really. Trust me. Its a freakin pain. Anyway, back to rooted 2.3.4 rom. I flashed it 2 days ago and it almost screwed up my phone! I can't use the market (i get an error) and I can't use music, camera, media stuff.. Its not worth flashing 2.3.4 rom. Although, if you want to be a rebel, go for it
You've been warned by the way.
There's a 'stock' rooted ROM available that works great. However, I would not sell it when rooted. If the person you sell it to gets an automatic update from HTC, it could brick the phone. Put the original non-rooted ROM back on before you sell it.

If you're running a custom ROM you won't receive the OTA notification but you could always just download it manually.

Means if I'm using affinity I wont receive ota update,I know. What I means was can I just flash that official Rom with clockwork mod?after flashing back to official Rom I know I lost root and s on back. So will it receive ota notification if I flash the official Rom? I'm abit confuse >< srry I'm bad in this...
it´s not that easy to return to stock... the best thing you can do is follow the wiki for rooting. the wiki also descripes a way to return to stock (means reinstall official recovery, s-on and remove superCID)
here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
and if you are waiting for a update to 4.0 ICS you better stay rooted and use customs roms
EDIT: in my country updates are recieved through carrier, so i think it´s important to have the original carrier firmware and CID to recieve ota updates

Thx a lot hoffmas!=) well,how can you be so sure desire z would get ics? And if I flash virtuous affinity v1.4.6,then I want to update it to version 1.4.8. Do I have to factory reset and wipe everything in order to update to v1.4.8? I can use the virtuous unity v9 kernel right?? I know its stupid question..hope someone can help me with it =/
the desire z will probably get a update to ics and if so you will see a thread on xda with the stock rom to flash without loosing root but for sure cyanogen is going to be faster
wiping is always a good idea. best thing is to use superwipe and the wipe options in the recovery (system/data/cache)
here is a link for the superwipe (flash it through recovery):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044992
you can use unity v9 (flash it after first time booting), but unity v10 kernel is included in virtuous affinity 1.48
pls use the thanks button if my posting helped you

Thx, but the unroot part is so complicated,instead of using that wiki, can I use this guide?
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-g2-htc-desire-z-complete-guide/
Sure there are different ways to return to stock, but i only post links to guides i used myself (so i know they work)
So maybe someone else knows, if the guide you posted works...
Actually the wiki looks complicated, but it isn't. It's a step by step guide and what is most important: it is a safe way
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
About the super wipe,I should flash those 3 zip once I have root on stock rom?
No, you have to choose one .zip and flash it through recovery after you rooted an installed a custom recovery....
So if you want to install virtuous affinity use superwipe before flashing affinity (after using superwipe you have to install a new rom, because the old one is gone)
You are sure you know what you are doing? Do some researching before you start to root your device... Rooting means you can brick your phone.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169004 can i just flash the 1st ota rom (only root and busybox added)? then check for future ota updates?
i don´t think you will recieve future ota updates using this rom... but roms like that one are the reason for me to say, that there is no point once you are rooted to wait for ota updates
official updates do come from your carrier and so its important to have the original CID and carrier firmware, as i mentioned already.
another hit on the thanks button would be appreciated
I know wat do know what root means,I rooted wildfire and flash custom Rom before..but I don't plan to reverse back to stock since I already know they will be no future update..but for my desire z..is just that I'm impatient of waiting the ota...so maybe have a try on affinity,but I can't flash the official ota Rom (2.3.3 and sense 2.1) to return everything stock right? I know..kinda dumb of me,forgive me on my stupidity >~<
no i don´t think so... but maybe i am wrong. As i returned to stock for warranty, i did everything as written in the wiki guide and because i didn´t find the original vodafone firmware i did not recieve ota updates (even with original recovery, simlock and CID restore)
but i´m not a dev... maybe i´m completly wrong
If I'm grasping this correctly, you are worried that you won't receive OTA after rooting and flashing? I'm curious as to what OTA you are waiting for and what it has that other ROMs don't? (Honest question, I think the Z's had a few more updates than G2)
Not knowing aside, i'd say root it, flash what you want, and only return to stock if needed for warranty. Chances are you're going to find more support from the community here than with the manufacturer.

Exactly! Well,wat I'm worrying was after I root and flashed then, the official ota (maybe sense 3.0) roll out then I will be stuck at root =/ I knw root I can do a lot of stuff..but idk y my mind just like stock =/ if the sense 3.0 of the future update can have horizontal home screen I will get it..
I don't know truthfully. My guess is that any update that WOULD come out would then immediately be ripped apart by the community and made better anyways. There are already quite a few ROMs with Sense 2.1/3.0 features, 3.5, etc, and ports from other phones that support landscape mode (a mt4g ROM if I recall).
You can always return to stock, though I don't think you'd ever want to. ;-)
