Develop Bugs

[Q] Get it started

I know that i sound like a broken record but bare with me for a bit.
to get froyo up and running on my device do i first root my device using that one click website(cant find the link anymore, does anyone know the link?) and then download whatever rom and compatible radio and just install it on my desire?
do i need to first make my htc desire unlocked/sim free? my htc desire is sim locked to t mobile.
thanks in advance

any suggestions? thanks

IF you want to go to the official FroYo 2.2 ROM you just need to make a goldcard and flash the official RUU file
IF, however, you wanna go down the custom route then you'd be best using unrEVOked as it roots your phone in one go (was extremely easy actually)

ok nice one. i dont need a unlocked desire thoughh innit?

[Q] Need help

First of all i wan't to apologise because there's probably a thread about this somewhere, but ill be honest i searched and googled a lot and only got more confused. I am really lost in the terminology and everything that is availbale on this forum so i'm just going to ask here and hope for a simple answer.
I have an unbranded unlocked HTC Desire, which i rooted to the Nexus One 2.2 froyo. Now i want to go back to stock 2.1 htc sense so i can update it to 2.2. I can't use the stock roms because htc sync doesn't recognize my phone. so im kinda lost and don't know what to do.
Is it possible to do it? and if it is possible, then can some one please explain in a simple step-by-step form how to do it.
Thank you in advance!

Im pretty sure you can just extract the rom.zip from an ruu and flash it from recovery

Hello,
first of all, before doing something wrong
screen AMOLED or SLCD?
HBoot ? to check the Hboot vol.down+power
U can downgrade to 2.1 (HBoot 0.80) using a SAPPIMG there´s a thread in the forum explaining how to do it, but first check your screen type first...
If it´s AMOLED like mine i can post the RUU i used to unroot the phone and get the Froyo2.2

it's AMOLED
hboot version 0.80.0000

Ok so was mine, so i runned this RUU:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
then did the OTA update

i have froyo 2.2 already on it.
will this take me back to the 2.1 htc sense?

just tried it, getting an error that the phone is not connected to the usb. and it obviously is

Why is it precisely that you wish to revert back to HTC 2.1 then to HTC 2.2 again?
You can currently flash HTC 2.2 ROMs directly, which have HTC sync working. They are different to the Google/AOSP FroYo ROMs on many accounts, most paramount with the addition of HTC Sense.

Thank you everyone for your help and use full comments. I ended up using the guide from the desire development forum, its under "[TUT]Complete upgrading guide(root, unroot, flashing ROM & updates)" sorry i cant post links yet. . It is very easy and noobie friendly.
I downgraded to the stock htc desire 2.1 and updated with the official 2.2.
Now i have 2 issues with it:
car mode enables itself every 10 mins or so even if i switch it off.
and some websites reload themselves in 10 or so seconds after loading them.
any ideas?
Thanks

Enter recovery, and do a wipe data, or factory reset, settings>sd and storage...

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
then here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256

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?

Go ask in the G2 forum and you might get a better answer

[Q] Un-Rooting HTC Buzz (Wildfire)?

Hi everyone.
I just want to know if there is a way you can un-root the HTC Buzz (Wildfire)??
Because I know you void the phone's warranty if you root it; and I don't want to sit with a problem when my phone breaks and I can't repair it because of the phone being rooted...
I'm going to root my HTC wildfire using unrevoked V3.32
So I need to know if it is possible to unroot the phone before I root it with unrevoked.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!

If you will be rooting using Unrevoked, you can get back your original state, by simply running an RUU from the Shipped ROMs RUU Collection here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Buzz
Remember though, if you go for S-OFF'ing your Wildfire, there is no way yet to get back from it.
Although running an RUU in essence doesn't need a guide, you can take a look at the procedure here anyway:

[Solved] help

ok i need a little help im new to HTC coming from samsung i have knowledge of rooting and flashing and such but i seem to be going in circles trying to obtain root. I am currently running 2.2 Froyo, I have read quite a bit on here but not sure of best method to use any input would be appreciated.

I will presume that you own a G2 / Desire Z. Go to my minus.com profile(link is in my signature) and download the pdf corresponding to your phone and the skip the downgrading part of the guide and jump to rooting. Just follow it and you'll be rooted and s-off.
