[Q] Downgrade CyanogenMod7 2.3 to HTC stock 2.2 - Desire General

I watched to noob-intro-movies and know general forum rules. And yes, I am quite a ROM-noob. But I'm desperate. Been searching all day for a solution, without success.
As the topic says, I want to downgrade CyanogenMod7 to HTC stock 2.2 FroYo.
I rooted and flashed it using Revoked3 and ClockworkMod.
Anyhow, when trying to restore it to it's original state using RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe I get an USB error 171. I can't seem to get passed that (Windows 7 and HTC Sync drivers installed, and re-installed).
It seems like a lot of people are in the same situation, but none of the solutions has worked for me so far.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Phone: HTC Desire Bravo

Extract rom.zip from .exe file. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Put this file on the SD card. Power off your phone. Press power button and volume down simultaneously and flash.
Why would you use 2.10.405.2? Why not the latest WWE unbranded ROM - 2.29.405.5?

Great! It worked like a charm. I picked the 2.2 version and OTA worked fine as well.

Coulda just used 2.29.405.5 as it's the latest one

Hi, I'm a bit noob-ish (maybe more than a bit) when it comes to android ROMs and in the exact same position. I'm with Telus and need to return everything to stock from Cyanogen Mod 7 to send phone in for repairs. I'm not sure which of the ROMs to use though since it doesn't actually label any of them as telus.
Do I just throw on the WWE version? and do I need to do anything about the radio?

Can't UNROOT 0.80 Bootloader - Peed off

All,
Basically I have what was an Orange branded Desire but I unlocked and rooted it and until yesterday I was running Modaco R5 froyo MCR
I have tried to unroot and my goldcard works fine but it will only let me install the virgin ROM:
RUU_Bravo_Virgin_Mobile_1.23.351.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_128941_signed.exe
I have tried 5 different WWE and European RUU's but keep getting the same bootloader version error.
Any help or advice would be appreciated, I am not a noob to all this and flashed ROMS when I had my Hero, the only thing I can think of is that all the RUU Roms are for 7.5 Bootloader.
I think youre right, I believe that if you try to flash a rom that is compatible with the boot-loader it will fail, the first one I tried when trying to get to the official froyo without root didnt work I just went the other way and took the rooted option it means I can go back anytime without warranty issues.
I have a tmo with hboot 0.80. I am rooted and have flashed the froyo rooted vrsion which is what I think you need to do.
Best bet is to head over to macardo forum sign up and ask there, the thread I put on this morning asking about rooting has still not been answer at macardo I got answers straight away.
If your rooted install the clockworkmod recovery which you will find here under fake flash: hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189 change the xx's for t's^
follow the instructions
then install the rom manager from the market, first click on install rom from sd this will make th rom manager install files you need to access the recovery without having to flash it every time.
then download the latest radio found here : hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464 Not th leaked but the latest 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
put on root of sd card make sure you set your desire to charge only after this, go into rom manager and reboot into recovery you should see green writing not blue and it should look similar to what you see on hero or g1 then flash from sd card you radio once your radio has been flashed reboot put a froyo rootd rom onto your sd card and reboot into recovery the same way and flash job done.
This took me 5 hours believe it or not but now I know how to do it would probably take 20-30mins

02 Froyo RUU.

Has anyone tried this 02 Froyo RUU file ?

Full details are here
http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/148932-froyo-ruu-update-available.html
Just wondering if anyone has tried it.. Tempted, but would like to know it works before I give it a go !!
No one tried this ?
Does anyone have any more details of this yet?
I'm quite interested in it, as I've held off rooting my desire until something like this is available so that I can get it back to stock for warranty reasons if necessary.
If someone does try it, could you let us know the HBOOT version etc?
Looks like someone used it on the other forum.. seems to have worked OK !
Following the advise on the other forum...
I've installed the stock 2.2
Seems to have gone well
Currently using my main 8gb SD as my goldcard and mem card.
About to make a backup 4gb goldcard..
Only thing I can't get to work properly is Laputa Ebook Reader.
Books are there but don't appear on My Shelf..
I'll have a play !!
HBOOT version?
Also anyone tried unrevoked with this?

If it's stock 2.2, unrevoked won't work since it's got HBOOT 0.92. I'm running that same build, but like chippieuk I haven't downgraded my HBOOT yet for fear of not getting back when something goes wrong or I need my waranty.
shipped-roms.com is asking for a password, anyone have any idea what it is?
or if anyone has a copy, please host it for us somewhere for our flashing pleasure
Withdrawn O2 UK Stock Froyo RUU
I made the mistake of downgrading my Desire SLCD after I had used a clockworkmod ROM and I lost my display. This seems very common, based on the posts on this forum. However I downloaded a copy of the withdrawn stock Froyo RUU and thought I would have nothing to lose if I tried to flash my desire. Well I tried it on Monday and I was over the moon when I found my Desire was back to normal operation.
I have been using the new Froyo on my O2 Ireland phone for a week now and I haven't experienced any negatives. The phone is running a dream in every way and seems faster than the original 2.1 ROM that was initially supplied. I can only guess that the problems experienced by the initial users was related to an upgrade rather than a complete new flash.
The link I used for the O2 UK Froyo RUU is here:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
I hope this fixes any similar problems for users of the SLCD Desire, good luck
wooo
I just registered to show my thanks to sysconp1, that RUU worked a treat had the bricked slcd used that link and all is well, stock o2UK froyo Thanks again buddy and merry crimbo and a happy new year to all =]

[Q] Strange Unrooting Problems

I purchased my Desire back in June and as soon as i found out about rooting
i used the one click unrevoked 3 method. Due to it being unbranded i didnt need a gold card i simply did so. After which i had problems installing some roms and its become too difficult so ive decided to unroot it and use it as it was meant to be until i gain more knowledge.
My problem is no matter which RUU i use following the unlocker method nothing works. I continue to get the error that none of the RUUs are suitable for my phone.
I have looked through the other posts but couldnt find an answer that worked for me.
my radio is 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
Im running AuraxTSense 7.6.1 Froyo FRF91 by NeoPhyTe
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Is your Hboot 0.93 ?
try this RUU : http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Enter bootloader (vol.dw+power), then plug the phone to USB and run the RUU it should work...
Have u installed HTC Sync again after using unrevoked?
U need the htc drivers installed
Have u tried LeeDroid?
Running stable and fast in my Desire, I rooted nd unrooted the phone twice, but every time i go back to unroot status i get bored, so root again, i think u should try another ROM first before unroot, try mine : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
Download de ROM,
Install thru ROM Manager or directly thru Recovery, but remember to Wipe data before u install make a clean install, if u still experience any issues go back to Stock...
My Hboot is 0.93.0001
Ill try the RUU tomorrow when i have enough time at my disposal
Although ill try leedroid first just in case. Hopefully it works and is good enough
thanks for the help
Just curious, but did it work?

You need to enter FASTBOOT (back + power) to run an RUU outside of Android

back2stock

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?

RUU update question

Help, I had a quick look about and couldn't find a similar thread, apologies if the is one tho as there is a lot to look through here and may have missed it.
Story is, I brought my desire z about a month ago not sure what software version it had but I preceded to flash it with a downgraded version ( 1.34.405.5 ) with a .executive RUU utility on my Windows 7 pc. Just to get used to things, I have flashed many phones before no problem.
Now tho I found what I believe to be the latest official ROM from here:
But everytime I run the thing I get error 132 signature update problem or something.
I have tried it while the phone is temp rooted, permanently rooted all the Ian drivers are fine I tried different versions of Windows. I just want to get back to the latest version and be able to update over the air from now on, thanks for reading.
What RUU are you trying to flash ? If it is the new Egypt version, please don't do it, and see the thread in the dev section for reasons why.
My DZ came with 1.34.405.5 and I have successfully flashed the RUU of this version from this forum, no problems.
It would be useful to find out what the current version is on your phone. It will tell you in Menu->Settings->About Phone.
Also it would be useful to check which HBOOT version to have, and whether you are S-OFF. Put the phone into hboot by having it powered off, then hold Volume Down and hold Power till it comes up with a white screen with skateboarding Androids.
It is possible to downgrade a ROM if you go through the procedure in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503
Helo thanks for reply.
Im pretty sure the version i had on the phone phone was newer than the one i flashed on as i just wanted to have a trial run with a rom that definatly worked fine before trying custom ones ect.
Currently it is S-On HBOOT version is 0:85:0009 and software version is 1.34.405.5 (the one i flashed over the stock)
I cant link to the RUU i am trying to use but it says it is a WWE world/europe one and i also tryed 3 others just incase, all give the same error.
Version is 2.29.405.2 that im trying to get on my phone as i think thats the latest official one??
Your phone sounds like it is stock so far, so it'll probably only let you flash a ROM designed for your very specific model of phone. So if the phone was from a particular country, it will probably only let you flash a ROM from that country, not just any old WWE ROM.
So is 1.34.405.5 on there properly now, up and running ? If so then you could always root it and run gfree to get SuperCID etc, which will then let you flash whichever official ROMs you want (but be careful if it's a very new ROM that might not yet be rootable etc).
I'm not familiar with any ROMs starting with version number 2 though ?
A quick google for 2.29.405.2 brings up Desire & Desire HD links.
BE CAREFUL DUDE!!!!
Yeah phone is running fine, slightly less reliable than it was before i flashed tho but im putting that down to it being a slightly older version than the one that was on here before maby.
Im up for just sticking an official desire z ROM back on here and leaving it alone for now. If you could point me in the direction of a suitable ROM download that would be great, or is there someplace i can go and put my specific phones model in and get the factory shipped ROM back cus that would be even better.
That 2.29.405.2 update is for the standard desire and desire HD? Damn that could have turned out bad had it flashed to my phone.
These smart phones seem a bit more tricky to flash than the older phones im used to doing, is there a decent step by step guide you can link me to for help with flashing as i have come accross 3 different ways already.
If your phone doesn't have S-OFF etc, then you're only going to be able to flash very specific ROMs to your phone. Since we don't really know what original ROM your phone came with, I recommend that you root your phone (using the "rage" method) and get full S-OFF via "gfree". Guides to these two are below, along with a link to a guide to get adb working on your PC :
adb - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
rage - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228
gfree - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764
Also check out this handy guide, which has a lot of useful info - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835777
You will come across a method of rooting called "Visionary". This is in theory an almost one-click method of rooting. However, I personally wouldn't recommend it, because whilst it works faultlessly for some, it goes wrong for others, and when it goes wrong it quite often goes very badly wrong indeed.
If you don't understand some of the stuff in those guides, then please post up in that thread on it, and I'm sure someone will be able to help you out. Best to ask questions first rather than try some stuff out and realise you don't know what you're doing.
