I have a CDMA Desire from Cellular South. I rooted the phone several months ago using unrevoked. Over the last week, the phone has had very little service showing and it can not be used to make calls or anything else that would require a network. I took the phone in to have it check and the rep kind of busted me for having superuser in my applications. He tried to reprovision the service to the phone but it didn't work. So, I came home to try and unroot so it could be treated as a warranty issue.
My back up is apparently corrupt and will not open. After 6 hours of fooling with it, I found a RUU from Alltell that matched my Radio, Firmware, Model, and kernal. After running the RUU, I was able to secure the Cellular South OTA Update for 2.2. My question is how would I load the OTA now that I have RUU back out?
Here's what I'm running:
HBOOT 0.98
Microp 051e
Radio 2.05.10.08.11
Firmware 2.1 Update 1
Kernal 2.6.29-E3566335
PLEASE HELP!!! I would like to keep from paying for a new phone while this one is only 6 months old.
Thanks,
Stephen

This is where I am:
Im having a new problem now. I got as far as the downgrade last night, unrevoked forever, hboot 0.77, Firmware, 2.1update1, baseband 1.00.03.04.06, kernel, 2.6.29-cc1c2268, build number 1.22.605.0 CL161493 release-keys, software number 1.22.605.0, Browser WebKit3.1, PRI 1.28_008, PRL 40067, ERI Version 5
In my research last night doing this I would take the official OTA thru the phone via OTA. This did not happen. Also, from further reading today, some are saying Hboot 0.77 wont take the OTA via OTA... so...
At this point, I am beginning to think I could be in way over my head. Can someone tell me how to get my phone back to stock and at the most current update?
Thanks in advance.
Just a note. I returned both my wife's and my (work) phone to stock about a week ago. I have not yet recieved the update and she has. It's still being rolled out and (as far as I can tell from communication with VZW) could take up to a month to actually hit your phone.
I didn't even bother with my personal phone. CM6 goodness there.
Search the threads for an RUU that puts your software to 1.22.605.2 will probably have .79 hboot included. Try that. Or you can also search for a copy of the update.zip. But I believe you still need 1.22.605.2 to get that to work.

I have a non-working phone at the moment.
I unbranded from O2 stock and th phone updated to 2.2 from 2.1 fine.
There was a minor update OTA after that when things starded to go wrong. I had forgotten to put the gold card in before the update and it broke the wifi.
Got a downgrade tool back to HTC 2.1 and it worked ok, I just ignored any updates.
After a couple of months I decided to try updating again and did some research and found a couple of guides. This didn't work though, and now I'm stuck with a 2.2 phone that I can't seem to do anything with.
The downgrade does not work, it now says CID incorrect! Update Fail.
I have tried a couple of different cards in the phone but the phone says there is no card installed. I can't access the card form a PC either via USB. So I can't make a gold card - step 1 in just about every guide I've read.
I have tried Unrevoked and that just hangs or gets so far in and fails depending on the version I use.
The phone when turned on and left to itself reboots occasionally.
I'm also getting 'Process sytem not responding' errors.

Get the stock o2 RUU and flash that (gold card not needed) then root again
I have been thinking about rooting my HTC Desire, but I want to be able to unroot if I need to. Problem is I can only find RUUs for Verizon and I have a U S Cellular phone. Would Verizon's work for USCC?

Ok, you know I hate it when this happens. Was going to reply saying that I had tried the OS RUU I have several times and it never works. I was going to reply saying this but I though 'I'll just have one more go, at least then I can report what the exact error was'.
What do you know, it bloody well worked.
I'm stumped, must have done something different this time that I hadn't every other time.
Just have to remember where I put my backups now.
barfaroo there is now a ruu for the Us Celluar desire. it can be downloaded from the HTC site. I recommen rooting a doing the S-off to it before updating. If you do not.(which im stuck at not) after the update you will nto beable to root, until there is an update for rooting the new froyo for uscc.
I am trying to unroot my Cellular South desire and turn S-On. My phone is currently having issues staying on 3G so I need to make a warranty claim but my phone is currently rooted and has S-Off. I have an OTA update for it I copied to my computer if that will help me any (the OTA update for 2.2 that I can't install because I am on clockworkmod). I have an Alltel ruu if there is anyway to replace files in it with those from the OTA but can't flash it since my carrier has been known to tell me to do a hard reset to fix something and if I demo it in store they will notice it in the store.
fixed, it works well enough at least
There is an RUU on their website.
Their site being cellular south's site? Where did you see an RUU?

You mind sharing how you unrooted the device?
Just run the RUU from your carrier (goto HTC website, and search through downloads)on a computer with your phone plugged in. Assuming you havent added any developer modified drivers everything should run smoothly and your phone will be returned completely to stock... no root, no custom rom, no custom hboot, no s-off, no nothing.
Hello,
I am trying to unroot my phone so i can send it back to HTC for repair, i have already unrooted about 12 months ago when my phone started rebooting and i kept the files to unroot but they dont seem to work now because i have hboot 0.93?
Everytime i try to run the RUU to downgrade my phone disconnects from HTC Sync with a 140 error.
I made a gold card and followed this guide.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256 but at the very last part the box closes and the new image is not flashed.
Can someone point me to the latest tutorial to unroot please?
Thanks.
You don't have to downgrade if you download the latest ruu.
You can find a lot of stock roms here:

Just make sure that if you are branded you download a branded rom.
What RUU did you keep for unrooting purposes? Might be a newer one out now
Thanks for the replies.
I was using this rom..... RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed
I managed to unroot it eventually, think it was something to do with the USB connection.
CHeers.
I think i may have messed up my phone now.....
After i unrooted, my phone seemed to be working fine and did not reboot once, so i thought i would root it again and see how it runs, i used unrevoked and it got as far as the message saying rooting phone was a triumph then it went to the next stage where it was removing itself but then my phone rebooted.
My phone is still not rooted and when i go into bootloader it takes a minute of checking then there is a message saying "CID incorrect"
The phone still boots up but i need to send it for repair, i want to flash the original RUU but i am getting the "Error [140]: Bootloader version error"
What can i do now to fix the bootloader?
Appreciate any help.
What software version are you running at the moment (Settings>About phone>Software information)?

You can't run the old RUU over the top of FroYo, which is why it's failing
You could try downgrading and then run the TMO UK RUU you have but it might not work:

I would need to root to downgrade again? My my phone seems to go into a bootloop when connected to USB.
I am trying to get unrevoked to root the phone again but my phone reboots at the last part.
My phone managed to stay on long enough to root it again then i got it back to stock
My phone seems to run fine on stock rom....no reboots but if i root and put on a custom rom it start to reboot again.
Anybody think why?
I was hoping to send my phone back for repair then root again when it comes back but i can't send when it works fine on stock.
Cheers.
I am trying to get S-Off on my phone. It's a Verizon Incredible 2, but it's now on PagePlus instead of Verizon.
In order to achieve S-Off with Revolutionary, I need 2.2.3. When I try and do an OTA update on my phone, I get an error ('SERVICE UNAVAILABLE Check for Software Update under Settings when service is available'). I am assuming this is because it is trying to check for an update though Verizon and this is Pageplus.
Am I out of luck or is there any way I can get 2.2.3 on here?
I found my answer. I ran the 'downgrade' tool. I saw that this whole time but I have been reluctant to run it since I was upgrading, not downgrading. But I ran it and it worked. Thanks!
