Hello,
I had some time ago (thanks to the experts of this forum ^ ^) managed to root my HTC DESIRE o2 Germany with a golden card.
My desire HTC is about to be sold ... but now, the user account that my phone uses (for any google app) is mine ... and I can not change it for the buyer's one to make his own.
How?
Reset the phone? But in that case how to come back? Does that make me messing root? My golden card?
Will my mobile phone will return to non-root?
I handle my gsm hellllllp!
thank you
PS: Patience, i'm a noob...
Well reset.. It won't remove root, and it'll just start up as new and asking for a google account and so on.
afaik you can't remove your google account without removing all data with it.
Just reset (don't forget to backup important data!) and don't worry.

I have a T-mobile uk branded desire (firmware version 2.1 -update 1 )
(software number 1.15.110.11), I dont want to root as i want to keep the warranty, but the low volume problem is really pissing me off, I tried to watch a film while stuck on the underground today, I could not hear a word of it, even with hi end sennheisers, its really pissing me off!!!
I have been told that switching to the stock HTC rom will solve the issue.
If possible pls explain how? I am an android newb and will need help.
Many thanks in advance.
sadly, no.
But if you have a problem, you can keep a backup of the stock HTC sense rom, and restore it. Additionally, you can restore the recovery to stock (I think i saw it somewhere).
After all that, you are good to go. Warranty still valid, and you can RMA it
Thanks for the reply, pls remember I am a newb, how do I do this???
Root your phone, do what you want with it, just keep this handy...
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
It's the current T-Mobile UK stock ROM and can be reflashed at any point to return to stock for warranty purposes (link may go down occationally so keep trying until you have it)...to reflash the stock ROM just make sure you have your Desire connected to your PC with HTC Sync and run the file - simple as that!!
I really dont want to root it to be honest, the phone is perfect except for the media volume! Do you think if I contacted htc they would be able to tell me how to change the rom without rooting it?
You CANNOT change the ROM without rooting, and HTC wouldn't tell you as it's breech of their warranty...just root it, you can always go back to stock if need be using the file I posted
Rooting isn't for everyone. If you have doubts about it, you should not do it. It's better to read some more about it than to hastely brick your phone. Most bricks are solvable these days, but it is no fun to do. If you want root just for the volume, it's not worth it if you don't know what you're doing, imho.

I have a T-Mo branded Desire that I have de-branded to a stock ROM, it's been OTA updated to 2.2 and just this morning it OTA updated to the new release all without rooting.
You just need to create a goldcard (very easy using the helper program) which will allow you to install any stock RUU. I have left the goldcard in my phone as it works as a standard microSD anyway to avoid any problems that occur when updating with out a gold card in.
I can't post links as I'm too much of a newb around here but search and the links are there.
Hello,
Is it possible to "lock" the bootloader?
Example; You have an app like Prey on your phone, you don't want that to be deleted when your phone is stolen. So in the bootloader/recovery you set a password so others can't just flash any rom they want. In this way the person who has stolen/found your device he/she can't do anything with it, since when it is powered on you know where it is and when it's off he/she can't do anything with it
yes, S-ON

With S-ON you can still flash roms if you have root..

Not really, but this is interesting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167089
I tried to port it to latest cwm, but when I got into the encrypt menu, it kicked me out to the main menu again.
Dev is working on a device independant port though so may aswell just wait for that.
It encrypts the data partition so they wont get to your data or remove your apps without a password. I guess they can still wipe data though as its only the loop file in data thats encrypted.
But maybe the password protection can be added to other menus to in recovery.
Although how you'd stop them flashing an alternative recovery is beyond me.

That's pretty nice, maybe it will be implemented in some custom recoverys
You can stop flashing custom recovery by locking the bootloader, but that will be very hard to do, i think. I was just curious if it was possible

Not until you can find another paranoid Dev..
TouchPal-d from my Desire running Supernova Extreme Rom - 450 apps and counting. .
"Not until you can find another paranoid Dev.."
I would not call such a Dev paranoid but something like "serious", "responsible", "trustworthy", "well-respected" or simply "grown up".
I really HATE that Android is only for kids and nerds. For these kind of people the most important thing is another instable custom rom that makes them flash happy, a new theme with pink live bubbles or a crack for Adult Angry Birds.
It's a shame that you cannot safely store data on your phone.
S-on + no_root + disable usb debug + put a password = ur data safe
If someone stolen ur phone, he can only format it, but ur data is safe
(note that all that security things are included in the stock rom, if you want ur data be safe then why did you root? With root every app potentially can stolen every data from ur phone)

Nice. I guess, I bought the wrong phone (w/o S-on). Like 20 million other people...
EDIT: Seriously. I have a Galaxy S. Never heard before about S-on. Never saw a review of a HTC phone mentioning S-on. If it is really true that HTC phones are secure, I can only envy you.

You are completely miss-informed.. S-on mean security on = bootloader locked.. I told about s-on because we are in the htc desire forum...... What you doing here with a galaxy s? Go ask in the right forum
Any phone with the stock rom (without root things etc ) is secure

I can barely fathom how absolutely retarded this statement is. I can only make out that the only phone for you is the iPhone - you can't do [email protected] all with that so I'm pretty sure it's a perfect match..

if you have the Galaxy S then why are you complaining about having S-OFF on the HTC Desire forum?
HTC Desire ≠ Samsung Galaxy S
To all those rednecks who like to f*ck around and be retarded: no need to further discuss.
Obviously, I did not come here to complain about HTC (or buy a DRM-infested iphone). By contrast, I used the search and found this and many similar topics. Usually people say that there is no solution and you have to live with the insecurity.
This is the only topic where people say their phone is secure.
With respect to the Galaxy S...it's very easy to crack it. Just enter into download mode and flash a CWM custom kernel with ODIN. The bootloader is not password protected so there is nothing you can do about it. If you have installed CWM...it's even easier because there is also no password protection. It seems that HTC phones may be more secure (as I said the Galaxy S does not have S-on AFAIK). I am merely surprised that this HTC feature was never mentioned in reviews etc. I would have bought an HTC phone if it is really true that they cannot be easily cracked.
the Security flag (S-ON) is merely there to make life hard for anyone who wants to do anything with android development on the phone, not to protect you.
Leaving the phone S-OFF is a marketing strategy, picture it this way - you like android, you're interested in android development, there are a lot more different ROMs for your phone because it's factory S-OFF, and there are no hiccups when it comes to android development and that phone, then in contrast you have a locked-down phone which tries it's damned hardest to keep you out, making life hard for devs, therefore less stuff available for you. Which one do you buy?
Alright guys i did my homework and i just want to know whether is it safe to perform it ..
1st i back up my data on my andriod via gmail (contacts) ,apps /data ....SMS Backup and Restore, Call Logs Backup & Restore, and APN Backup & Restore. Each one backs up its respective data to your microSD card (in /sdcard/*appname*BackupRestore/) for easy restoration...before whipping out everything on my sd card and htc sense rom ...
Rooting the phone ......after that i'll flash a custom rom in it
backup all data from gmail/SMS Backup and Restore, Call Logs Backup & Restore, and APN Backup & Restore.
that should be all
is it correct or there is any alternative ?
I need suggestion from the android users
Cheers
So... you don't need to backup your other apps?
what do u mean by other apps ?
what i thought was the apps i seen on my android device

After you have flashed a custom ROM, you have to reflash all apps you have used with your prevoius ROM, and then restore app data.
Or wasn't it you wanted to know?

Read that statement again... you save your backup files to the sd card then wipe the sd card. So where's your backup now? To tell you honestly, you are doing it wrong.
Tell us what exactly are you going to do and in what state is your phone right now? Is it rooted, s-off, etc.
but why is reflash all apps with previous rom and restore app data ?
i don't quite get it
and im quite confused with the flashing rom and reflashing all apps with previous rom and restore app data ...
okay i'll take your advice
but this statement
"backup all data from gmail/SMS Backup and Restore, Call Logs Backup & Restore, and APN Backup & Restore."
doesn't it say im going to backup data from the previous data i had ?
okay im going to root my phone next month so im going to backup my data from my sd card and reformat it ..after doing that im going to root my phone 1st ...its not rooted ..is it a wise decision ?
status of phone ...
Andriod version (2.3.3)
htc sense version ( 2.1)
kernel version( 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb ..htc [email protected] 18-2 #1)
Okay since you still have a month to prepare... check this thread. It's a bit out dated but this will get you up to speed on what you'll eventually do. At least better understand what rooting requires you to do.

When you root your device you can remove all apps you want. I use Titanium Backup for that because I can delete data file that can be leftover after uninstalling of app.

Hi All
I'm trying to move apps to SD and the devices tell me I need to root for this to happen. I went through the process of unlocking the bootloader only to have it remind me that it essentially becomes a factory reset, so I'm going to back up all my data and have a go on the weekend. I need to factory reset anyway as the phone has started lagging.
I have read that unlocking bootloader will allow the flashing of custom ROMs, which could include a ROM that is rooted. Is this correct?
If so can someone point me towards a stock rooted ROM, or the process of simply rooting the standard? I have no real desire to start playing with ROMs as the phone functions quite well it just requires a bit of cleaning it currently won't allow me to do.
android 4.2.2 HTC One XL (Telstra Branded)
I just want to delete some rubbish stock apps that I never use (like pocket news) and move the unessential apps like games to SD card as well as delete the hideously bulky little demo movies that these things have to free up some space.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is the wrong spot.
If you need any other info on the device let me know and I'll hunt it down. I'm not new to this kind of thing but it has been a while.
