it works that's what i used. the only thing i had to do differently was to download the pd98img directly onto my phone. something was happening when i transferred it from my pc.
if you look the the comments on driphter you'll see this.

Upgrade or downgrade boothloader

Version from/to versions 1.01, 1.02, 1.03 and 1.06
This exact same question was posted a couple of hours ago here. Are you the same person?

[Q] Orange(UK) 2.2 with HBOOT 0.83 Rooted

I am considering trying a custom rom on the device, but am concerned about the network lock. When i put the stock rom on the device i had the simlock / network pin prompt. Fortunately this was fixed when i applied the OTA update.
If i use a custom rom am i likely to encounter the same simlock / network problem??
Many thanks in advance.

What ROM version are you on at the moment?
As long as you don't update your radio image you should be fine.

Couple of original RUU files needed.

Hi
My phone was bought from O2 last year and came supplied with 2.1
Since then I flashed it with a stock 2.2, now I'm looking to root etc so would like to have a RUU just in case.
Can anyone point me to the standard O2 2.1 & 2.2 RUU files ?
Also anyone got this RUU ( this is what I'm currently running ) :
BaseBand: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c [email protected] #1
Build: 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys
Software: 2.29.405.2
Thanks
Why would you need the originals? Simple make a backup of the stock you're running now and you'll be fine. As soon as you root you'll loose warrenty anyway.
I'm running the Reflex Rom with the modified hboot - runs great!

I should had sent you here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
See your other post in ROM Development - I've posted it in there (2.29.405.5 is newer than yours so is needed instead of 2.29.405.2)
For reference, you don't have an o2 Desire but an unbranded Desire - if it was an o2 unit the software version would be x.xx.207.x
EDIT: This is a question and, as such, should be in the Q&A section
not having an o2 (or any) branded phone is normally a good thing in my opinion
2.29.405.5 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048
Turns out (s)he debranded going by their other thread.
To the OP - you don't need the 2.1 RUU as I've linked to the 2.2 one in your other thread

The RUU restore everything, after that you can get warranty again!
Thanks for all the replies.
Yes it an unbranded Desire..
I want the original O2 RUU just incase I had an issue and my goldcard failed !!
Just need to decide on CM7 or GingerVillian and suggestions are welcome.

It's actually DEbranded - if it was unbranded you wouldn't need a gold card to flash an unbranded RUU
rooted fine.

[Q] RUU as safe haven for operations?

Hi,
After searching and searching the forum and reading threads, I still have questions which are not answered.
I have succesfully downgraded my HTC Desire Z from the latest version to one which can be rooted. I followed instructions from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
In the process I downloaded following RUU file:
RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed.exe
It is my understanding that this file contains the version of HTC Desire Z with Android 2.2 (which can be rooted).
So, if RUU file is used for making the phone as it was un-boxed (correct?), then I should keep this file for:
a) if I wanna root my phone?
b1) if I wanna go back to official stock version by manufactor?
b2) and addition to b1, I can update my phone via OTA to latest official HTC version?
And I hope yes/no answers to a, b1 and b2.
If no, please explain why it is not so?
br, Marko

Yes to all three. As long as your bootloader is S-Off you can flash anything you like. Though to get an official ota you may have to run through a few versions because those will check to see if you are on the correct build before allowing an update

[Q] advice rooting dhd running 2.3.5 and vodafone uk

I'll apologies now if this has been answered but I have not found it.
Im wanting to root my DHD but am confused with all the different options and upgrade this and downgrade that etc. I've read post saying downgrade the radio, install RUU etc but really don’t know what, why or when I need each bit. Below are the versions etc of what im running.
Android 2.3.5
sense 3.0
software 3.13.161.3
kernel 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
baseband 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
build 3.13.161.3 CL208029
Which tool is best and how do I know if I need to downgrade, S-OFF (ENG S-OFF) etc
I have seen a post from someone on 2.3.5 and they were told to install RUU
sorry if its all same old but there are some many people say to do it all different ways im confused
Thanks
EDIT: reason for this is poor battery life and was told stock HTC would help or even a none HTC to remove sense would make it loads better. True or not I don't know
