I have no idea what kind of ruu i need(its cellular south phone) because there is so many
Plz HELP
Do not ask the same question three times in three different places.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
you can install stock_hboot with android flasher
(if you have a cm7 hboot, your phone is already rooted and s-off)
then you can apply the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5
you can find it here
If your phone is a branded one, you will probably need a goldcard to flash the RUU.

Hi Guys,
I recently rooted and put a custom froyo 2.2 rom onto my HTC Desire. In the process i must of lost the backup of the original rom that shipped with the phone. The phone was bought with Vodafone Ireland and the baseband is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 . Im not sure but the guide i used to update my phone advised updating the radio (which i think is the same as the baseband). What i want to do is to download an original 2.1 (or 2.2) Rom so i can update to froyo the offical way. Basically the rom i currently have is buggy and i wanted to upgrade/downgrade to 2.1. I dont know what i need to do with my radio version or what difference it makes.
So my questions are:
1. Can someone link me a place i can download original HTC Desire Rom 2.1 so i can restore my phone to normal and upgrade to 2.2 through offical OTA?
2. What difference does the radio make? Why do i need to update that when i install a rom?
Thanks
oh and also if i put the original rom on it does that undo the rooting? Basically i want a stable version of 2.2 that i will be able to recieve updates in the future through offical methods (OTA)
i need this too
Look in the development section, there you can find RUU's those are original roms.
If u get an original ruu and follow instructions to install Froyo will be available for its system update. This includes an updated radio.

Thanks, Does this get rid of rooting? and do i need to pick a RUU that has the same radio as mine?
this "Updates" your desire, making completely stock like, from what i know you have to choose what fits you phone, if it's Hboot .80 or that other one...
it will lock your recovery too...
hey sorry about all my noob questions but i tried the following page before
"HTC Desire > Desire Android Development > [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URL"
and any of the ones i tried dont seem to work. Is it someting to do with the fact that none of them are the same radio as mine?
Im guessing i should be trying the gsm ones. i tried to install some of the zips through rom manager from GSM HTC OTA Update URLs but they failed.
by "lock" do you mean that i will never be able to recover again and ya my hboot is .80
guys,
Can someone please help with this, im really stuck.
Thanks
I have HTC Desire bought from India with baseband version=32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 & software number=2.13.720.1.
I rooted my phone with unrewoked3 but now i want to get back to my original rom which i got at the time of purchase as i am not able to get updates. I have tried to flash rom : RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed but not able to get it done with error 131. Please some one help me out of this i have checked everywhere for this but not able to get it done.. Please help me out of this..
I have successfully flashed the following ROM by using gold card:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed
But i think that this is not the rom which was earlier on my desire at the time of shipping,because i was getting update for:RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India.
Can someone help me getting this clear.. is this ROM different from what i was having at the time of purchase???
You did not need to install that RUU Rom that u installed. Unrevoked ONLY provides root, it does not replace your ROM. You actually lost the original ROM now by installing this new ROM.
Thanx for your valuable reply... But now what i can do??? I want to get back to my original ROM how can i get there??
I'm afraid not much.
Over at shipped roms there is only an old RUU 2.1 (eclair).
It's the right one for you and if you managed to find the updates you'll be okay, you can also try searching for OTAs but I don't know if you have big chance for an OTA when you are right now in such an old version.
Maybe you can mail htc to ask them if they will provide you with a link for the froyo OTA for your software version, tell them you missed it...
clockworkmod
hehe..
I have clockworkmod which is there in the SD card(after rooting the device by unrewokrd one get this), can this help me in getting my ROM back??
You can restore from clockwork but you'll then be still roooted, although with your original 2.2 ROM.
You did the backup rooted - the restore therefore will be with root.
Can i try to downgrade bootloader
Hmmm... Thanks man :-(
I have tried to flash RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127705_signed
by using gold card but not able to do that.. I think i have to downgrade radio or boot-loader first then i will be able to do the same... Is it true???
Also please try to give the procedure to downgrade boot-loader...
I don't have experience with downgrading but you can follow the guide by teppic in development - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
And you do not need a goldcard when you are flashing an Indian x.xx.720.x ROM because your original ROM was this type. You need it only when you are flashing update or a ROM that is not for your device.
OK... I am trying on the same thread but thanx for this..
I will try to downgrade, lets hope for the best
Hi, yesterday i got a massage that i can download new ota update 2.29... i've decided not to dwnl. it cause phone is rooted but it is on custom rom and i have data to sd as it says in my signature. Quest. is, what hapend in that case when upgradeing?
htc desire data2sd
Never apply OTA on rooted phones!
You most likely will mess up your phone.
If you want the changes from the update either use the matching RUU or find a custom rom based on that version.
Oh and your signature is empty.
Thx, for reply. It is the main problem i can't decide what is the compatibile rom. I know it is verry newbe quest but it so hard for me to get it on cause there is so much of everything that can brick the phone. As much as i read that less i understand. Can't find the rom that is up to date and that it is compatibile. Don't know how to decide which is ok. About signature, english isn't my native lang. and it is hard to find the right expression .
htc desire data2sd
There isn't that much that can brick your phone, people use the word brick to much for every little problem they have. As far as I know there are only three ways to brick a phone:
Hardware damage
Faulty radio install
Messing up the hboot
There might be more but can't think of any other right now. Non of these are relevant to you right now.
For all the desire compatible rom's check this thread. StarBurst is probably your best bet if you want to keep the normal Sense. Make sure to read the thread for requirements and instructions.
Thank you for your patiente, one more newbie q. I can`t find on the google how to see which recovery mode do i have? There i see some notes to whatch out with which recovery to oprate but i can`t find how to see which version is mine.
Just boot in recovery, there should be a line telling what recovery it is. Most likely you have CWM 2.5.0.7.
You are right once again . So from now on i should find the newest rom. Is gingerbred for desire yet out and should it be something much better then those roms you've sugest me in the privious post? As i saw on the forum those custom roms are eaven more up to date and provide more options than those "original" roms, and another confusing thing is that in star burst is option to update ota, is this correct or i do not understand it correctly?

Same concern here:
I've rooted the phone, I've installed Rom Manager, wasn't convinced to install any ROM. How this will affect the OTA update ?
To be honest I'm waiting for the official 2.3 from HTC and I've rooted the phone mainly to get access to some Market software unavailable outside the US (maps, voice actions, etc).
I've also unlocked the phone using seempi's method.
If you're rooted you can't apply the OTA, simple as that.
If you want OTAs then you'll need to go back to stock
Whats the full version number of ota update?

Hey everyone,
Lately i've rooted my phone ,and i'm like rooted for a week now, and i'm using MIUI ROM atm.
But i wanted to know how i could unroot and get back to my stock rom? , my reason for this is because i think my camera is broken so i need to send it back. when i launch my camera i get like rainbow colors.
Could someone lead me to a unroot HTC desire Z guide, or help me?

it's not my camera effects , that's the 1st thing i checked , i also tried other camera's apps all ended up as same effect. It's probably broken.
But i got a next probleem :/ , i dont know how to unroot my phone , looking everywhere for guides but really cant find one. besides i already tried to get 1.34 stock on my phone which is impossible , it wont detect the PC10IMG.zip in hboot and the back-up i made of 1.34 rom back then is not possible to recovery anymore either , it keeps getting stuck at boot screen, could my phone be bricked?
can someone help me?

Mate,
If you use google with this keyword "How to unroot htc desire z", you will find a link to unroot DZ/G2. But I will not put it here because it is not in XDA
Cheers
the guide that you mean is the guide i tested.
it says G2 - t-mobile \ HTC desire Z
i tried that guide and ended up with a G2 t - mobile rom , while i need a HTC sense stock rom , so that's a guide for G2 phones. and you also need S-On and as i can remember while u root u get S-off
my friend told me i could unroot my phone by simply re-installing 1.34 and then let it update ? , but the problem i have is it wont detect the 1.34 PC10IMG.zip package
, and yea i did rename it to PC10IMG , but it still wont detect it :/ , somehow i have a idea that my phone is damaged cuz of the t - mobile rom. because i had no root acces when it got installed so i had to reroot it to go back. previously before i installed the g2 rom accidently , i could go back to my 1.34 whenever i wanted , and now it isn't possible anymore since it will get stuck at the boot.
anyone know how to detect 1.34 PC10IMG? or how to atleast root my phone to HTC sense stock
How to install the stock rom for htc design evo 4g ? the original rom is gingerbread but i updated the phone to 4.0.3.. how i can downgrade to gingerbread or install gingerbread ?
someone ?
Hey, sorry this is late but I just came here since I was looking to do the same for my EVO 4G since I got a new phone. I'll be giving this to my dad since he doesn't have a smartphone and is going to start with my old one.
You're looking for the HTC EVO Design 4G? I couldn't seem to find a forum section for that phone. What you're looking for is an RUU file. It's what HTC phones use to restore them to an official stock ROM. The codename for the EVO Design 4G is Kingdom. You can find the RUU's here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Kingdom
I'm not sure if this will get you back to Gingerbread. From some quick Google searches, I believe the 2.12.573.7 one (the top one) is Gingerbread. You would download the .exe file and run it. Make sure you phone is connected to the computer via USB and follow the instructions that come up.
