Desire Newbie

I bought desire and it came rooted with LeeDroid v1.9 .. meaning it already had the 2.2 update installed.
My problem? I want to reflash it to stock rom, the 2.1 eclair. How should i go about without demaging my phone? Dont ask me why I want to do that.
PS: This is my first android phone. Any help and pointers in this regard would be appreciated.

Do you know whether it was a branded phone before being rooted/flashed?
You don't want to go to 2.1, get the stock 2.2 and flash that

i dont know if it was branded or not. where to get the stock 2.2 ? and how to flash?
i am an android newbie, so all this flashing and rooting is french too me
sorry for being naive.

In terms of getting the ROM, click on the version number on my signature (if it asks for a username/password both are shipped - there's also the chance the link is down. If it is, try again later). That is the full ROM.
To flash the ROM, connect your Desire to your PC and make sure you're connected in HTC Sync. Then just run the RUU file! If your phone was previously branded the CID check wil fail and the update won't complete. No biggie, it just means you have to make a gold card to flash it - search 'make gold card desire' on here and you should find a decent guide (I'd say use THIS one)
If it does complete, then you have a genuine unbranded Desire and you can enjoy the 2.2 goodness!!

thanks .. will report back if the need may arise

tnx ... everything worked like a charm

No gold card needed? Nice!
Enjoy your phone

naaa .. no gold card needed .
saved me a lot of trouble.

[Q] how to unroot my desire baseband 33.44.00.32u

I am a new one here,i want to unroot my desire ,however ,i don`t know how to do it. my desire is SLCD screen,the baseband is 32.44.00.32U-5.09.0530.2,anyone here can help me ?I really appreciate

I am not good at this thing but look through this thread.
Also wait for a second opinion. There may be better methods
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256

Thanks. I brought it from Netherlands will it go some problem?

What's was software version running on your phone when you first got it? The baseband is the radio and isn't important (yet)

what are the benifits of unrooting the device?

- Clean slate to start again
- Returning handset under warranty
- Just using the phone as it is as rooting isn't needed for what you use your phone for (my option)

origanial 2.2

I can't update the OTA, so I try to recover but still have the superuser

can use the offical rom

This statement is as helpful as a chocolate teapot. What version number were you running, e.g. 2.10.405.2?
Without that we can't advise which stock RUU to flash to get back to working

my version number is 2.10.405.2 !!!

And that is what it came with out of the box? Or is that what it's saying now?

I just want to unroot my desire and back to original rom,could you give me a clean room to set?

Without knowing the ROM it was running ON THE DAY YOUR BOUGHT IT we cannot recommend which to use

I bought at september the rom is basic 2.2

But what was the software version on the day you bought it?? That is what I'm trying to find out!?!?! e.g. 1.21.405.2

software:2.10.405.2
build number:2.10.405.2 CL226611 release-keys
kernel version:2.6.32.15-g6a358a9

And that was it the day you bought it? If so, download the 2.29.405.2 RUU in my signature (click it) and just run that from your Windows PC with your phone connected in FASTBOOT

yes,thank you

[Q] Revert Alpharev back to S-ON

Hello!
I think the title says everything. I disabled the security on my Desire with alpharev (S-OFF). Now i want to enable it again (S-ON) because my phone needs repair...
I have no ideo how to do that.
Thank you in advance!

To be more specific...
You need to flash the RUU that your phone originally came with (assuming you did the clever thing and made a note of it before flashing a custom ROM)

Well , I have no note about the original RUU that my phone came with
I looked up this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
I think i have to use either
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121684.exe
or
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
Am I right? Are there differences between these two?

They are the original ROMs so don't use them (wouldn't work anyway)
What software version are you on at present? Or you on a custom ROM?

Currently I have a custom Rom (InsertCoin HD 1.8f). But I want to revert everything inclusive unroot and restore the original rom (I made a nandroid of it).

Restore the nandroid and then post up the software version of it. We can then see which RUU you need

I restored the original software:
Android-Version:
2.2
Baseband-Version:
32.39.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel-Version:
2.6.32.15-g6a358a9 [email protected] #1
Build Nummer:
2.10.405.2 CL226611 release-keys
Software-Nummer:
2.10.405.2
Thank you so far!

OK, get this. It's the latest stock RUU:
http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
Then boot the phone into FASTBOOT (turn on holding back button), connect to PC and run the RUU

Thank you for everything!
Everything is back to stock now and I can let it fixed (got the problem, that the phone always reboots)
Nice!

See how it goes now as it might fix itself. Obviously if it still reboots then send it back!
Glad to help

Unfortunately the problem might be the hardware. I tried different firmwares and sd cards and still the same problem I googled for the problem. There are many users sharing the same issue. The only thing that works is changing the mainboard, but thats no thing I can do on my own

Thanks a lot,it is useful for the new user

Basic question

Hi
Just bought used desire.
Be4 I start getting to know it, I would like to know if there is a custom ROM flashed.
Software inf:
Android
2.2
Baseband ver.
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version
2.6.32.15-g2633d94
Build number
2.33.161.2 CL284358 release keys
Softw. No
2.33.161.2
Is this a stock ROM? When I search for 2.33.161.2 in google it says something about Vodafone. Is it a stock Vodafone ROM?
Do I have custom ROM, was my phone rooted? I have superuser installed.
Thanks a lot for your help!!!!!!!!!!

It's the Vodafone ROM, stock is 2.29.405.5
If you've got the Superuser app then yes the phone has been rooted but left on the Vodafone ROM. If you turn the phone off, turn it on holding volume down, select recovery on the menu that comes up and you end up with Clockwork Mod/Amon RA then you're definitely rooted

Thanks a lot for your answer, yes it's rooted according to your G-L
Do I get it right that this Desire was bought in Vodafone UK and it was shipped with 2.29.405.5 stock ROM and this is just an update to 2.33.161.2?
+ Why would somebody ROOT the phone while keeping the stock ROM?
Thank you!!!!!!

First question: As far as i know, you got this right.
Second question: With root excess you can run some programs, which you cannot run without root excess (like adfree, root explorer or titanium backup). Furthermore, you can delete system apps. At last, you are able to make a complete backup of your phone. These are the most advantages of root for me. For some users, these advantages are enough. They do not need custom roms, because they are happy with the htc one.
And do not say thank you, use the button.

If the unit is on the Vodafone ROM it'll be a branded unit (unless the seller put the Vodafone ROM on it, which would be a bit strange). The vendor code is how it updates, e.g.
x.xx.405.x - this is the unbranded vendor code and will only get updates including the 405 - such 2.29.405.2, 2.29.405.5, etc
x.xx.161.x - this is the Vodafone UK vendor code and will only get updates including the 161

I would personally start completely from scratch
Then you know exactly what it has !!

I experienced the same thing as you, found superuser when i bought this second hand desire, but i actually didnt wait to ask, started reading and reading, then found my self trying to flash a custom rom...... hhhh like flashing stuff, as i had an OLD android device.

[HELP] Problems with Desire after recovery

Hi guys,
I´ve got a stock Desire with Android 2.2.2. (OTA update some two years ago). Some days ago I noticed my camera was not working nor did the flashlight app. After turning off and on the device a couple of times the flashlight started working again but not the camera. Trying to fix what I thought might be a software problem I went into Hboot menu and into recovery and selected reboot. Nothing seemed to have changed until i noticed my battery was only lasting for 4 or 5 hours when it used to last at least 1,5 days. Also, I just noticed my 3G mobile network connection is not working either.
How may I correct this? I've already tried a factory reset but without success. I was just looking at an youtube video from a XDA member about flashing RUU's and thought that it might do it. Is there a difference between flashing a RUU and a factory reset? I'm not very confortable doing it as I've never rooted or flashed any device, but I'm willing to take the chance...
Thanks for your support...

Flashing a ruu is basically reinstalling the stock firmware. Factory resetting is just wiping the data on the phone.
If you want to flash a ruu, check my sig. Download the 2.3 ruu. Don't change the zip name. Take the zip and put it on the root of your sd-card, and boot in hboot. Then select "yes" and wait.
This will upgrade your firmware to Android 2.3.3, which is faster than froyo, but it will wipe all your internal data.

merante ridicule
Thank you for your reply.
Now it´s clearer to me. Factory reset doesn't correct any system issues.
I already found the RUU i currently have on my phone, but maybe I could upgrade to 2.3. Does the RUU in your sig work for my Desire?
My data are:
Andriod version: 2.2.2.
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gfa401c
Software number: 2.29.405.14
Just a small update concerning the battery issue: it seems to be the battery itself which is the problem. I installed a new one last night and now battery behaviour is back to normal. I will try the old one again though, in order to be sure it's gone.

The ruu in my sig works for your desire. It actually works for almost every Bravo on the market.

Thank you once again.
I just managed to correct my 3G problem also. I didn't restore the network definitions after the factory reset (didn't know I had to or how it is done ), but after a quick call to tech support it is fixed.
Now I will probably give the RUU update a try and also root and s-off (must resaerch a little more - XDA forum has tones of good info :good...

In my sig, there's a Desire All Root guide. Check it out.

Hi, some developments and more help needed
Followed the guides above and now my Desire is rooted, s-offed using revolutionary and 4ext recovery is installed and I've partitioned my new 32 GB sdcard with 2GB ext4. Sadly, I've not updated to android 2.3.3 with the PB99IMG RUU, so I'm still with the 2.2.2.
But, even after sd partition, my available internal memory has not increased. What do I have to do to install all new apps on the sd?
If I update now for 2.3.3. using PB99IMG will I lose root and s-off? If I have to flash a new rom, which do you suggest? I'm used to the stock htc sense and don't really want to upgrade unless I have to.
I would really appreciate any suggestions...
Tks.

Don't use the RUU. You will lose root and s-off. Just install a custom rom, and your storage will increase.

Thank you for your reply :good:.
Could you please suggest a stable rom based on gingerbread with htc sense (early versions prefered) and also point out a detailed noob friendly tutoorial for flashing roms? I must do some more research but if you could point me out in the right direction it would be very useful
Sorry to be such a pain in the a**, but I'm just getting started in the rom world and not very tech inclined also...
Tks.
