[Q] CM6 to HTC sense 2.1

I recently rooted using unrevoked on a mac, and am now running CM6, id like to go to back to my original software which was 2.1 with Sense on Telus. Is this possible, I dont mind if i lose all my contacts and apps etc. I'd just really like to go back to the software so i can rest easy. If so, can someone provide detailed step by step instructions for this as im a big noob. Thanks in Advance.

UGH???
there is no telus one??

Dont suppose you performed a Nandroid backup that you can use to restore the original rom image using some recovery?
If not, check this thread:
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762063
See post #19 (another member packed a nandroid backup of the stock Telus rom) especially and posts on the next few pages of this thread for a link to the original Telus stock radio image for 2.1.
Good luck.

There are a few nandroid backups of telus floating around but they do not include the radio. The current 2.2 radio's floating around do not work with 2.1 but should be able to find something that does work.
When you find a backup of the original telus rom you will need to copy it to your sd card to the location where they are stored... off hand I belive it is..
clockworkmod/backup/ date and time stamp of the backup
When you get the file there you boot into recovery, move down to android and select restore and pick the date of the one you want to restore.
Honestly if you want a sence UI there are many 2.2 htc sence roms on here which are much better then 2.1.
Are you only missing the sence widgets etc? Or do you need it back to original to return it etc?

Thanks i found a nandroid back up on another thread, as well as a radio. If you could find me a 2.2 sense rom, and radio, and tell me exactly how to install from a mac that would be great, cuz im super afraid of bricking my phone, and i dont really need CM6. THanks in advance

If you are running cm6 you are already rooted with recovery. All that is required to install any of those roms is to download them to your sd card, reboot into recovery, run a wipe system then install zip from sd card, boot and your good to go.
Note: Some of them may require a ext partition on the sd card which I would assume you don't have since cm6 does not need/use it nor did the 2.1 that came with it.
MacLite and the Official 2.2 rooted would not need any changes, just the download.
You should not need a goldcard for anything.

How do i install new radio??????

If you are running CM6 it already uses a froyo radio, you don't need to change it unless you are having issues etc. You do it the same way, download it to the sd card, boot into recovery and say install zip from sd card etc. Same way you would a rom.

Also, when i reboot how long do i wait at the android with the box, before yanking battery

Android with the box? Preferably never, only time its really safe to do so is when its the HTC Logo that never goes away.

so your saying when the android bot with the box comes up just wait it out, and it should reboot into 2.2 sense?

Please Help! What do I do in order to flash Cool3D Sense 3.0?

Can anyone please guide me to a link where I can see how to flash this particular ROM?
I have my Desire rooted and with a CyanogenMod ROM installed, but I don't know how to flash this specific one because the guide talks about some requirements and I don't see where to start. I don't understand why some developers don't explain how to meet those requirements? I think that should be a requirement in every ROM thread.
I've already searched through the first posts of every thread that is stickied in the forum and I haven't found a step by step guide on flashing this rom and meeting the "requirements" that this one talks about.
I would really appreciate the help!

nothin much.
1)partition your memory card with ext4 partition..the rightway is fat32 first and remaining space for ext4
2)download rom for the hboot you have
3)go to recovery..make a nandroid backup if you want
4)wipe everything..flash the rom

Hello everyone, I have a htc mozart with Node (7392) installed. Unfortunately I do not have the backup file because my computer has a hard drive crash and lost all data. Is it possible to unlock maintaining the original operating system? I have the ability to create a backup file? Thanks to all

please post this in htc mozart Q &A .This is Htc desire section

Thank you for your continued efforts in helping me!
I'm still having problems!
Before you gave me that link, I searched and searched and searched...and did many of those things in the link.
I did have my device rooted already (so no problems there), so I did the S-Off from AlphaRev and it came out successful (to test I flashed a stock splash screen and it worked), I partitioned the 8GB SD card with GParted. Just like you had said in the first post (FAT32 first and then EXT4)...I did 1GB of EXT4 and the rest is FAT32. Everything was successful...the SD card was formatted afterwards....After that, I changed my HBOOT from the 0.80 stock to the CM7/r2 by using fastboot. It was successful as it shows in HBOOT.
After all of this, I downloaded the ROM and copied it to the memory card. I went to CWM Recovery and WIPED EVERYTHING a couple of times and flashed the ROM. I made sure I had the latest radio before I did that....5.17.05.23. When I rebooted the ROM, it went to HTC and the words "Quietly Brilliant" appeared. I was thinking I had it all set, BUT the screen went dark for a second and "Quietly Brilliant" came back. It's bootlooping every 3-4 seconds and it DOESN'T advance!
I've since tried to reflash through fastboot different HBOOTs, like the CM7/Stock and exactly the same!
What do you think it might be? I've NEVER taken so much time in order to flash one ROM in ANY Android phone that I've had (and I've had many).
Thanks again!

I hope you have downloaded ROM for CM7 r2 and Not CM7...beacuse there are two versions for download
in that thread..I mean just be sure to match the Hboot type and ROM type before flashing
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Hey, I've actually tried both and still the same issue. I also flashed the Aurora ROM and this one won't be go past the first splash screen (while the other one went to the boot animation). Just to test, I flashed a CyanogenMod ROM and it worked just fine. Why is it so difficult to have any of these two ROMs working?
I just want a ROM that has Sense 3.0. I can't believe how difficult this has been for me and nobody else seemingly wants to try to help me.

Don't be rude. You have had help. Did you ask for help in the rom thread?

By the way, what is this?
EXT4 Partition For A2SD, No Swap New Scripe
I'm assuming he means NEW SCRIPT. I did the EXT4 partition - 1GB with no swap, but I don't know what is New Script? Was there anything else I had to do besides the partitioning of 1GB EXT4, no swap?
Also, the alignment download that he has....I've done it, but is it necessary? In what order do I do this?

Yes, I have....my comment was buried there with no help.

Ok...
Reading your posts I'm not sure you have the correct hboot. Turn off the phone, then turn on whilst pressing and holding the volume down button.
When it boots it should give you a load of info. At the top in pink it should say "Alpharev CM7r2".
Check this then let me know.

He's got the stock hboot.
Did you follow the instruction that says stock hboot users must flash stock_hboot. Zip?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

cheers rootSU, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure - by the way, I've gotta get round to trying your rom some time
Anyway...
Wipe everything in recovery. Then flash the rom, and before restarting the phone flash the "stock_hboot.zip" found at the bottom of the first post on the rom thread.
EDIT: Oh, and give it time on it's first boot as it can take a while to load everything.

That's how I read it yeah.

Hey everybody! Thanks for taking YOUR time to help ME!
It works!!!! I started jumping because I couldn't believe it! 24 hours later! Haha
I have ABSOLUTELY no clue what fixed this, but I did redo EVERYTHING....from going back to stock, to doing the S-Off, changed the AlphaRev recovery to the AMON RA Desire recovery, to repartitioning a different SD card DIRECTLY from this recovery...and YES, it works!
We've given NEW life to my faithful Desire!
Thanks so much for taking out of your busy time to input your knowledge! Appreciated!

New Member (NOOB) Looking for help. HTC Desire

Hi folks, I have just joined as a friend of mines told me XDA was the place to look for help in sorting out my HTC Desire.
I will do some reading over the weekend and hopefully sort the problem out myself and not need to look like a complete tosser. There is obviously millions of members and endless amounts of topics to chose from.
A brief description of my problem : I installed the HTC Gingerbread 2.33 RUU a few months back and ran into issues with the storage, which I believe the update warned of. Anyway, that RUU updated the handset no problem, but me being me I decided I wanted to revert to a stock rom so downloaded an older version which failed to install on the phone.
I used Revolutionary method to gain S-Off and created a NAND back up without any problems then I tried to run the old RUU and hit a brick wall so to speak. I am now stuck on the TMobile UK loading screen and although I can boot into HBOOT menu I cant use recovery to gain access to the back up or anything else.
My PC is now wont find my Desire as a phone but just a Android Device.
As I say I will do some searching and hopefully find my way through the maze of information.
If I need anymore help I will give full details of ROM Version , HBOOT and exactly how I got my phone into such a sorry state.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help me.

Don't Worry.. got you problem..
First of all install latest HTC sync and android UBD drivers..
Then Give me detail of device.. We'll proceed if still faces the problem

[Q] HTC Desire 2.3.3 Official Update Custom ROM?

Hi guys. Sorry if this is similar to another question in these Q&A sections but i've gone through so many threads that i'm sick to the bones and ready to blow.
I have the original HTC Desire S-LCD model (slightly slower people, please note it is NOT the S, Z or HD, you don't know how many times this happens) and i used the official update for 2.3.3 gingerbread from the HTC developer site. The thing is though, it's very buggy and the lack of space is annoying me. I managed to get S-Off and install Revolutionary recovery onto it.
(HBOOT version says 6.93.1002 (not sure why it has the 6 part) and it says "Bravo PVT3 Ship S-Off")
I tried using root programs but none of them worked on it. To flash another ROM do i have to root it or can i just flash from this stage? Also what ROM would you guys reccommend? I'm wanting one with the new sense 3.0 or even the HTC Desire S ROM with sense 2.1 and apps2sd. I'm constantly uninstalling and reinstalling apps co its always almost full.
Again, sorry if this is unneccessary spam that has been asked before but i'm tired, confused, sick and annoyed.
Thanks, Huzi.

And please for the love of god don't tell me to use the search bar. At least link me. Please?

You can get some cool ROMS here: http://www.cooldevs.com/ that include upto sense 3.5!

New ROM has be flashed from recovery. Always follow installation instructions when you flash a new rom. To find a good one, check the developers thread.
A good beginnersguide can be found here on XDA (Sticky in General section).
Swyped from ICS with Transparent XDA App

reboot into recovery (either through the bootloader, or by adb reboot recovery).
If you just get an exclamation mark in a triangle, you need to flash recovery. Look at my guide.
If you have a custom recovery, backup your rom (it's pretty self explanatory how), do a full format from mounts & storage (apart from your sd-card), then select flash zip from sd, and then choose a rom to flash. Don't ask which is best or what to recommend. It's all personal preference.
ROM's I frequent:
Cyanogenmod
MIUI XJ

I can recommend the noobs thread it tells you everything, I've used it many of times and you soon pick.up on stuff.

So what you're saying is that I don't need to root or create a goldcard or anything? As long as I have this custom recovery I can flash a new ROM?
Also another thing that worries me is the radio part of the ROM. That was the reason I had to send my phone back to HTC coz there was an error when it was at the ROM stage and wouldn't boot an OS after that.
Can I flash a new ROM without the radio or does that mean no calling etc?
And also does the radio have to be specific to my region and operator? (o2 uk)

Yes, you don't need a goldcard to flash a new ROM. The radio doesn't affect the booting up of the OS, it just affects your network signal and anything else associated with the radio. The radio doesn't need to be flashed everytime you change ROM's. You can look here to see if you have the latest one

And let me ask you something. Is it such a crime to ask for help and give help? I've read through every tutorial i needed and still ran into problems. A store worker doesn't ignore you when you need something just coz people have asked before. By signing up to XDA you are automatically willing to help others or even help yourself when problems arise.

I recently helping my friend's Desire.It has a RunnymedeAIO Rom and he wanted "Sense 4.0 Port Desire VT328T V0.4".I flashed it but it just stuck in "HTC quietly brilliant".
(I used to flash Samsung Roms but I dont really understand how htc phones are flashed.)
Is there anything wrong with my step/other stuff?
Did I had the wrong kernel?
It is a stock revolutionary hboot with revolutionary kernel 4.0.1.4 Amoled Desire.
There is also a 1GB ext4 in it's sdcard
I first install the rom, then wipe data/cache/dalvik cache.After that ,reboot.
Thx a lot.
