Hi folks,
I have a Desire A8181 mobile phone on Vodafone UK, the phone is not locked. I would like to update the ROM. Been looking at Leedroid. I updraded from 2.1 to 2.2 back in July 2010, but looking for something a little better.
Can anyone tell me, if I can update to Leedroid on my A8181 phone? if not what other ROM's would be ok to update?
Sorry, if this has already been asked, but I wanted to make sure first, rather than making a mess.
Thanks again

Good man, thanks for the quick reply. Will try it out later
Thanks again
Another question, do I need to remove the S-OFF and update the hboot to install a new rom, like Leedroid or Gingervillian?
I have a rooted desire, but the S-ON is still showing and I have hboot ver 80.xx
Thanks
You don't need to S-off ;-)

If the rom needs an custom hboot, u will need to s-off and flash another hboot.
But in the rom tread description it will say what kind of hboot you need.

I have a HTC Desire (Bravo), rooted and running CyanogeMod 7.1:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
I understand there are several threads about restoring, but I am wondering about these specific versions and S-ON. Can anyone please advise is it safe to use
PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
to restore to stock? Can I just copy it as PB99IMG.zip on a SD card, hold down and flash via HBOOT?
I am sincerely grateful for any help!
Hello! to revert your phone back to stock you need the RUU, you can grab the HTC desire android 2.3 ruu here:http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Unzip it, run the program, follow the instructions and BANG your s-on no root total stock htc desire
Use the latest 2.2 RUU instead of the 2.3 DEVELOPER RUU, because aside having 127MB internal memory it brings nothing much more.

Pick up a 2.2 RUU, because the 2.3 RUU for Desire is without warranty.
Actually HTC honour warranty on 2.3

Really? Hmm.. I though that not, because HTC said that is only at own risk.
But maybe you´re right
Hi there. Similar - but different - question. Water damage. Phone went to insurers. They fixed it and sent it back 8 weeks ago. I downloaded and installed 2.3 from htcdev. Seemed to work ok for some weeks. Now battery almost useless....it runs out in less than half a day. It was fine before it went. I can't start camera app or camcorderor any camera-dependent apps. I also dont see charging light when phone connected. Question(s) is do you think it's the 2.3 update or is it symptoms of previous damage - water? Should I roll back update or would the insurers accept it with 2.3? If htc accept 2.3 then insurer should too no?
Oh and to roll back to 2.2 can I just flash stock 2.2 WWE? Unlocked unbranded Desire
Charging light work when phone off? If not, hardware

I have tried to run the program and i seems to work untill it's waiting for the bootloader. It keeps saying waiting for bootloader and after a while my phone just reboots and comes with an USB connection error. Can somebody help me ?

Hi, apologies for creating another thread for something that is probably very simple, but the information I’ve found can be conflicting sometimes
I've a rooted HTC Desire with a (very old) LeeDroid ROM installed.
Phone is going, so I want to revert back to the office UK T-Mobile ROM.
Current configuration:
Bravo PVT1 S-ON
HBOOT - 0.80.0000
Radio - 5.09.05.30_2
Clockwork Recovery v 2.5.0.7
I've never messed about with S-OFF or anything?
Is it simply a case of getting the correct RUU (which I think I have, RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed) and running it?
I realise that this is probably a stupid question, but any assistance would be appreciated?
Thanks
Put the 2.2 one on, not the 2.1
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe
Or better yet put the unbranded 2.3.3 from htcdev.com.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you need to install a rom with sense, plug USB in HTC Sync mode and then run the RUU.
Then the official RUU should take care of everything (boot, radio).
But again, never done myself.
Thanks guys, installing the official RUU from the website worked perfectly
Thanks for the advice
Hi there i recently decided to root my HTC wildfire but in the process accidently got my HBOOT to 1.02.0000 instead of 1.02.0001, i originally started at 1.02.0002 so can someone point me in the direction to get back to 1.02.0001
Also does factory resetting the phone get the original stock HBOOT back?
The phone is also locked to Tesco (O2 UK)
Need help!!! All help appreciated loads!

Did you htcdev your device to root?

yes it has been one of the methods i have attempted to root
Tbh mate there is no real reason to go to that boot, it won't give you anything new or useful aside from peace of mind, but, should you still want to try u think you would need to use the htcdev ruu again and lose your rom ect just remember to back up

hi guys,
In the past I used XDAdevelopers forum to install a custom ROM.
I own a HTC Desire and I have the following installed.
Android version : 2.3.3
HTC Sense version 2.1
Radio version 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23
Kernel version 2.6.35.10-g308ba26
Build number 2.36.405.8
Software number Reflex S 2.0.9 Lite A2SD+
It was quite easy to install new ROM's and I am curious if I have to be aware of new things like S-OFF and S-ON where I am reading about, or is that only for newer hardware?
I am having problems with my battery (also with my replacement) so I want to try to update my phone again.
If you have any hint, please let me know. In the meanwhile I will try to find out which radio/ROM/Kernel update I have to do.
hi, click the All Things Root Guide in my sig. loads of info there

Thanks jmcclue, a lot of useful information.
But the problem is that I already passed all those steps with installing the custom ROM on my Desire.
The only thing that is hard to find in all the manuals that are written, if I have to do something additionally now despite the Desire has already been rooted.
what does it say in ur bootloader menu?
turn off the phone and then hold volume down + power
and post what it says

Question! Does Revolutionary recommend to use a rom that doesnt implement any a2sd or data2sd scripts like Alpharev? That might be something he needs to consider before going S-Off (which I would recommend as well)

hmm good point batman. i know that revolutionry works even if ur rooted, but i honestly never thought bout if a2sd or data2sd scripts would affect it. after reading everything before i never came across it, it was never mentioned in any guides or that so i just assumed that it does'nt. will have to look into it more. thanks.
@ OP dont use revolutionary yet and il try find out more and u could search a bit too

Reason I asked is because alpharev had that as a requirement. Just to be on the safe side. Not sure about revolutionary since I never had to go back S-ON lol
after some googling i couldnt find anything to suggest that revolutionary wont work with an a2sd script, but after searching "Software number Reflex S 2.0.9 Lite A2SD+" that is a custom rom so that revolutionary will not work, revolutionary only works with official stock htc rom (rooted or not rooted) cheers stankyou, you learn something new everyday
I'm confused. Last week I S-OFFed my colleague's Desire on a custom ROM with A2SD (Insertcoin I think) with Revolutionary. Only S-OFF because his Desire was already rooted obviously.

cool, thanks for the info, i suppose it will work so. i guess as long as ur hboot is the same as what revolutionary requires it should work. its just strange that from what i found, basicaly u needed stock htc desire rom, rooted or not. if it worked for u then i guess it works

Thanks jmcclue, but do I need it? Or is it in the requirements of new ROM's that you will need S-OFF?

i suppose u can still flash some roms but s-off is better coz u can change hboots, and get more memory and install custom recovery if things go wrong lol. theres a few roms now that come with INT2SD and ul need CM7r2 hboot for them and basicaly uv a better choice of roms and theres just alot more u can do with ur phone with s-off.

Yesterday I used the WWE 2.3 android RUU, but I want the cellphone back to original state.
It was originally an:
bravo pvt4 ship s-on
hboot-0.93.0001
microp-051d
touch panel-symw0101
radio-5.11.05.27
But now I want back to completely stock, so any idea what to do? (s-on, unroot, etc.)
I did use the downgrader from alpharev, so now its s-on. But how do I get the original hboot and radio?
If you ran 2.3 ruu over downgrade you have it all stock, I don't know what yoj want more.

Ok. I thought it had to be the same radio and hboot etc, as when it was new, to not loose the warranty..?
OR else I thought only the updates on htc.com was seen as "official" and under warranty, all the others were unsupported, but it may only be in my head.
I don't find the RUU for my region, so if I used the WWE 2.3 update I have not void any warranty?
