Unrooting and Re-Branding my HTC Desire on '3'

Hiya,
I rooted my phone using unrEVOked 3 a few weeks ago, but one of my buttons has since broken. I want to send it in for repair, but having rooted my phone obviously voids my warranty.
I've seen a few unrooting guides around, but they all seem to want a goldcard to re-brand. Considering I didn't use a goldcard the first time, is this still the way to go.
unrEVOked haven't made an unroot tool for Desires, that I know of.
My network is '3' in the UK. The Hutchinson3G RUU on shipped-roms is the one.
I've heard some things from different friends:
1) Branding is contained in the radio, so it doesn't matter what you do
2) Just re-flashing the clockwork recovery will do it
3) I can do the RUU without a goldcard
4) I must do the RUU with a goldcard
Anyone know for sure?
Cheers

Just run the RUU to get back to stock if you're sure its the correct one.
No goldcard needed and it will remove root...

Help unroot phone!!

Ok so I put the PCIMG10.zip file on my phone to turn s back on, but I didn't unroot my phone correctly before doing so. So now everytime I try to do some thing in terminal like turn s off again it doesn't work. And idk what to do, I'm kinda freakin out to be honest. (I attempted the xda unrooting process, but skipped the hexeditor step thinking I did everything correctly). Can someone pleasseee help me?!??

all you need to do is flash your respective region's RUU.
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189

So you Rooted your phone, and then you S-Off'd your phone, then you attempted to unroot it yeah?
Sounds like you just made it S-ON, which is different to unrooting. I'd suggest you run a RUU.exe which will restore an unrooted rom.
Edit:
Eden beat me too it

What phone do you have? a PCIMG10.zip file isn't anything to do with the Desire. Desires are PB99IMG.zip, which is taken from an RUU

I did this tutorial to downgrade my HTC Desire to the stock rom, just to test it if it works:

I'd suggest you find the correct RUU for your device here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
And try that. Will unroot and S-ON your phone (resets it back to stock everything pretty much). I've heard making a GoldCard is a good idea when running a RUU to avoid issues, even if you think your phone is unbranded.

I have a g2. So all I have to do is flash that RUU thing, then im good?? Or is there additional steps?

[Q] Questions about warranty repair (BravoC)

Hi All,
I have a US Cellular BravoC that needs to go in for repair. I am one of the unlucky ones who are experiencing the overheating/forced resetting while doing CPU intensive tasks.
I currently have S-OFF, CWM Recovery 3.0.2.4
I know that I can download 2.2 RUU in fastboot and that will return my phone to unrooted, S-ON... and my warranty repair should go through fine. The problem is, I want to be able to return to CM or Oxygen when I get my phone back.
1) If I return a phone with S-OFF and CWM recovery is it likely that HTC will deny the warranty repair?
2) Does anyone know if there is an RUU for 2.1?
3) Is it possible to flash the stock recovery and leave S-OFF as a back door?
4) Is it even likely that I will get the same software back? In other words... should I not even worry about because I will likely get back something different (Just flash the 2.2 RUU and say screw it).
I still do not really understand the whole "goldcard" thing or how to really use fastboot effectively, so I don't have the untouched ROM that came with the phone. Only the rooted one I created with nandroid backup before installing CWM
Sorry, I know that is a lot of questions but they are all very closely related. I have searched through the forum and did not find anything that really answers these.
Thanks for any advice you may have!

When you get your phone back you can just reroot and S-OFF again. You need to find the US Cellular ruu and run it.
Maybe someone else can help you with that.

So if I understand this correctly, even if I have 2.2 installed (which, as of now, can not be rooted) I could find and install the 2.1 RUU and then root the phone? I think the problem is HTC never released a 2.1 RUU. I am pretty sure I go to 2.2 (or HTC upgrades my phone to 2.2) I will lose the ability to root it.
Man, I just hate the stock ROM so much I want to try avoiding it at all costs.

Better way to root?

Hello all, after reading todays news about HTC giving up efforts to update the desire, I have decided to update on my own.
The trouble is, my desire is a POS. I am not able to do the unrevoked way because my desire will just go into a reboot loop.
Is there an alternate way of doing it?
I assume that I must be rooted to get this firmware on?
Do I really need this s-off thing? I do not plan to stay rooted. Once i load the new firmware i will unroot.
Thank.

Ok, firstly POS? Secondly, what firmware?
When your rooted you can't simply just unroot. To unroot you have to flash an RUU, which in turn wipes all the data off your phone and updates everything back to manufacturer stock. I don't see what your trying to achieve here.

I am only rooting to get the new ruu. So, I assume that it will then be unrooted no?
POS is piece of sh..
I have the stock 2.2 fm.

You don't need to root to use an RUU. You can happily flash an RUU all day. The current RUU is Android 2.2, software number 2.49.405.5.

Unrooting dhd from clockworkmod loader

Hello,
I need to send my device back in warranty, and i'm therefor wanting to unroot the phone back to factory state.
Can I simply flash it with one of the RUU's found on shippedroms.com? If yes, which is the one to take? I'm from europe.
If not, what will I have to do? Does it involves any risk bricking it ?
Thanks in advance
I'm fairly new to the matter

How did you root it, AAHK or HTCDEV? For AAHK, you can unroot it with the AAHK tool. For HTCDEV, you can relock it, but I'm not sure if your warranty is still valid.

Onderdak, done it with the advanced ace back kit.
Could you please explain what steps i should do to flash it back coming from aahk.
Can you conform these steps are correct? Does it matter what version of the RUU I choose?
As I have said above, if you used the AAHK to root your phone, then the easiest way to unroot is by using the kit again.
By following on screen prompts, you would select "O" for Options Menu and then "S" for S-On and return to Stock.
You then choose one of three Stock firmware RUU's to put on your phone.
For the majority of people it should be "2" - "Flash Gingerbread WWE RUU", which is unbranded (the AAHK may have to download the RUU, which could take some time).
The Hack Kit would then run the RUU.
Your phone will now be back to unbranded stock Gingerbread.
If you are wanting to bring the phone bang up to date, then you would need to run the latest RUU currently Sense 3.0 (the 4th from bottom in the linked list - build 3.12.405.1).
Your phone will now be back to unbranded stock Gingerbread, with Sense 3.0
Please note that ALL questions relating to the Hack Kit should be addressed in the manual (if you are following the guide to unroot, you already know this, as you used the Hack Kit to root in the first place!)

These steps are correct. Use the hack kit to get s-on and run a
