Alternative site to get original RUU's - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I see that shipped-roms.com is shut down. is there an alternative site that i can get these original RUU's? I'm looking for Orange UK Bravo. I would say any UK one would do though.
Thanks.

orange didn't release any RUU's so no luck there. You'd need a goldcard and then use a WWE RUU

what about an alternative site to get O2, Vodafone, 3, or T-Mobile?

oh i see.
yes my phone is branded to orange uk. my operator is o2 ireland. i bought it from england, unlocked it, rooted it and put my irish sim into it.
so should i have made a goldcard before i rooted it?
sorry, first time ive had to unroot and dont know anything about it.
are there any good guides available on how to do this? ive been searching google and youtube but can only find how to make a goldcard.

I would like to mention that i am not unrooting my phone to send it to Orange UK to be fixed or anything. I am unrooting it because i am selling it and the buyer doesnt want it rooted. In that case, can i use any carrier's original RUU?

make a goldcard
then flash this http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4a...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe

What do you need an RUU for?
Y'all know HTC support warranty on the 2.3.3 GB release? Which is unbranded. This means you can flash this (if you don't get a CID error - for most of Europe) then it is warranty returnable without the need of a goldcard.

except the 2.3.3 comes with a bunch of bugs, and I've seen too many cases of people updating it and then the phone being stuck on the HTC logo... personally, I don't see the point of risking it.

what does it matter if its going for warranty repair whether it boots or not?

orange radio update simlock.

If you are locked to orange and you update your radio you will be locked to no network. Ie, even with an orange sim in your phone it will ask for an unlock code.
Is it possible to edit a radio in the same way you would a rom to overcome this issue.
Also, if a radio can alter the phones simlock status can one be made that would unlock a phone to any network?
Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this.
The developers section will have better answers for you on this but as an Orange user I overcame this by purchasing an unlock code off eBay.

Hehe, well I am orange uk, and when I tried to use the unlock codes I bought, they said successful, but then didnt work. so i tried flashing the htc wwe rom from the sticky in development thread and used the code and it worked. I had to root my phone again but was then able to flash 2.2 with sense, hope that helps (I was scared about being stuck with a radio i couldnt unlock etc and having a phone that was useless but decided to put my trust in nandroid lol)
I was thinking to do this too.
Tried installing the WWE version, but the software said it didnt like my customer id or something. wouldnt let me revert to stock ruu

Warranty Voided due to Root? [SOLVED-ish]

So someone rooted probably a branded set,
unrooted back to Stock.
Sent for warranty, got a call that it was rooted before thus warranty voided.
Conclusion: How do we know that we have erased the tracks of rooting our HTC Desire? How are we sure that it's the same state as it was before?
What are the main things people should look out for after rooting if they want to make sure they don't get caught rooting to void their warranty?
Thanks.
Do a full wipe and flash a stock rom. Then you should be fine.

True, according to the person he did unroot using the uh...Shipped RUU's.
Should've used the branded RUU for their phone

How do you tell it's for branded?
Not to mention many of the shipped ROMS look rather outdated-ish for new Desire users. (And not a lot of selections? Does it affect?)
I would advice to flash one of the latest stock roms just to be sure. I dont want to be harsh but your friend should have read more about rooting and restoring etc then this could have been avoided.
What carrier is the phone using? Then you need to find to find a rom that matches. But I doubt he will get his warranty back.
Of course. Lol once voided it's near impossible to get it back.
GSM, probably branded and had GPS problem.
Anywho mine is GSM as well, branded and if I want to unroot back, how would I know which is the most suitable for me?
You get an RUU that matches your carrier or closest (I guess) and a really up to date version (2.29.405.5). You can't go wrong really. If it fails, claim on your insurance... providing you have some.

Too outdated + not a lot.
Shipped roms site is the best but there's only one closest to my Software no but it's .1 before. It should work right?
Why does the software no matter?
It matters are HTC will know which version it was shipped with. For example:
My Desire is an unbranded handset, shipped with 1.15.405.3
So long as I sent it back with a version x.xx.405.x then I'm OK as it's the right software
If your desire wasn't on x.xx.405.x software and you send it back on it HTC can refuse to fix it

[Q]Orange UK 2.2 Froyo ROM[Q]

Couldn't really find anything about this, but I have a problem and I appreciate all help, thanks.
I really really need to install the Orange RRU on my HTC Desire HD as it's being returned to Orange, but because it's my second handset I have returned to them they are going to inspect it for any 'software modifications' (they didn't say that, but its obvious) and I really need a flash back to it. I have debranded my device at the moment, but I am not rooted, all help is greatly thanked.
Follow the link in my Sig and go to RUUs you find the latest Orange ROM there. FYI I got my DHD from Orange the first week it was launched, it was supplied unlocked & unbranded.

Right, I have that downloading now, just to double check, I have Software Version 1.32.405.6, will I still be able to flash this RRU, as I know sometimes there are problems if the Software version is newer than the RRU is flashing onto the phone.
Yeah you should be fine, going from stock 1.32 to Orange 1.84.

Tried that 2 seconds after unpackaging the phone No new software found.
[edit]Ignore this post. Thought serialtoon had this version instead of wanting this version[/edit]
I don't think it is a retail One X purchased in China. 1.26.401.2 is generic European version IIRC. You don't need to do anything with it. You're fine just using that version and should get updates before any of the carrier branded versions.
I've included the version of the ROM I'm on right now.

Ahh. I thought you were on that version now. Sorry. Misunderstood what you were asking.
At the moment, all you can do is unlock the bootloader at htcdev and flash a custom firmware. You can't apply an official HTC firmware or change the baseband firmware as the bootloader is still in S-ON mode.
Once/if somebody does work out how to put the bootloader in S-OFF mode then you can alter the CID and reflash it with an official US or European One X firmware.

[Q] Get back to stock using Ruu

So, I'm running Android Revolution HD 6.0 and I want to get back to stock...
My phone came with an Asian Rom of some sort and I have a Nandroid Backup.
I've tried to simply flash a Ruu "Europe_1.29.401.11" but it force close before any process start.
Do I have to get back to that stock, then relock the bootloader to do so???
Can I re-Unlock the bootloader if I need sometime??
It's my first HTC, I'm ok about using odin and rsd lite but never flashed any Ruu, so in HTC matters I'm pretty noob.
Thanks.

You have to re-lock bootloader to flash official RUUs, and you can unlock it everytime you want using the unlock.bin you get from HTCdev (on your mail).
But you have to be sure you are using the right RUU
Read the threads relating to ruu carefully. Pretty important.
One thing. You can't use any ruu. Your phone did have a Asian rom initially and so you need the ruu corresponding to that area. And if phone was branded, you need the ruu specific to that brand.
So like if you your phone was from Hong Kong region, you need Hong Kong specific and carrier specifi(if your hox was branded ) ruu.
One more thing, u can only use the ruu of your current os version.
So if you're on 1.29.11, you can't use ruu for 1.29.7
See stickies for in android development section for ruu.
Although I think re locking bootloader should be enough and you should be good to use ruu, do check it.
Not sure if it would require flashing stock rom or stock recovery.
Last thing... Why use ruu? It's probably the last thing you should do unless it's a try to reclaim warranty.
I just want to get my phone to a stock rom, that was why...
but I guess I'll just stick to custom roms, since the Ruu stuf is actually pretty scarring... I tought it was simple to do, since fhasing via odin was always fast and safe...
But that's ok!
Thanks!!!
So, that was my shipped Ruu...
Can I flash an European over it??

It's very simple really.
1. Find the correct RUU
2. Flash stock recovery(not 100% sure if needed, I did it though)
3. Relock bootloader
4. Run RUU while still in fastboot.

You can only flash the one that matches your region ... to find that out, you first have to find out your CID (something like HTC_001 or O2_002) out with THIS tool from the play store...and in the bootloader you will find the HBOOT version (0.94, 0.96 ...) ... post both here and ill let you know which RUU you need

afaik there is no 1.29 RUU for that region yet
OK!

as I said in the first post, I'm pretty noob in HTC...
just another question, can someone clarify what the numbers in the name of the RUU files means?
