Hello,
I have a HTC Desire Z with perma root, S-off and Clockwork recovery, however I'd like to update to the latest official rom of Gingerbread. I assume to do this that I have to remove my root, S-off and recovery, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how?
I read that I'm not supposed to flash certain files with S-off or I'll get a bootloop, so could somebody advise me what to do?
This is my specs:

You've posted in the wrong forum - you need to post in Questions, ideally.
Just installing the official update via RUU (there are guides, search the forum) will put your phone back to stock - but you won't be able to undo the changes without a LOT of work. Why do you even want to do it?
You'd be better finding a modified and rooted version of the latest stock f/w, surely?
Sorry, I Wasn't paying attention to what forum I posted it in.
Could you recommend me a rom that's closest to the latest stock as possible?

This is the most stock you can get with a sense ROM
Thanks, one final question.
Do I need Clockwork Recovery 3.x? I'm on 2.6.x right now and I know that in 3.x they needed new partitions, I assume I'll need to update?

Latest is 5.0.2 but you can just install it through rom manager. to be able to flash GB roms you'll need a recovery higher as 3.x though since this is the one that can change partitions to ext4
just wondering, do you want it stock for the rom or for warranty purposes?
The reason I wanted stock was because I never use root and I didn't want to mess up my phone.
One final final question:
Will my 2.2 Nandroid dumps work on recovery 5.*?

First Off, im not sure if this should be in Q&A or android development. But, here i go..
I have seen alot lately about the leaked ota update, and all these fancy 2.2 leaks, which apparently requires a radio flash of some kind. Now before i do this, i have some questions..
If i do this, will i be able to use old nandroid backups of 2.1? and if i am rooted, how do i go about flashing the leaked ota? Im asking because im hearing alot of posts of people bricking phones.
Also, if i ignore this update, and theoretically a 2.2 update is released tommorow, will i be able to just update rooted? im sure i would lose root but could i do it? or do i really need to use PB31IMG and restore my phone?
Thanks for the reply.
Gentle warning, due to admitted OP confusion. Good rule: if you really have to start a thread, when in doubt choose General or Q&A (if one is available). Thanks

it should be in Q&A.
Unfortunately, Incredible has no Q&A section yet so General is used for that. For now.
Ok, ill keep that in mind. I take it the thread has been moved. but anyway, anyone have any input on the whole radio update dillema?
If a new OTA is released and the radio is slightly different you'd need to RUU. I am not sure how the OTA prompt would go and what would happen if you tried to apply the ota BUT I know you can always RUU down and flash the newest OTA after SU busybox etc is added with no problems.
So basically, theres no way im upgrading the radio unless i RUU and apply the ota. Alright. Guess Ill wait for an official OTA. but will a 2.2 rom break unrEVOked 3.1?

No one knows because the official update is not out. No one knows if the radio will be different than the leaked one, or if the hole used to root is plugged. The people who do know (HTC/Verizon), don't appear to be on this forum.
Hi!
I am total new to android, I got my HTC Desire for 2weeks now, I search the internet and on this forums and it seems to be nice to root my desire, now im a bit scared to do it, what can go wrong? Can I lost data? do I need to backup first? after I "rooted" my desire i still have the stock android 2.2 on it? (and with all my settings, messages and contacts)? my desire is an unbranded device. I heard that unrevoked 3.2 can root my device? what are the requirements for this? if I go to system information on my desire it shows that i have kernel version: 2.6.32.15-g6a358a9. So can I root my device? Do I still have warranty if I root? I got my desire for two weeks now so I don't want to brick my phone. I got a PC with windows 7 x64 and a laptop with windows 7 x32 and Ubuntu dualboot.
Can someone help me what I need to do?
(sorry for my bad English I am from Belgium)
Thanks in advance!
What software version are you on (same screen as the kernel version)? You want to make sure you can get an RUU file incase you ever need to go back to stock.
Rooting in itself won't wipe data. You will if you change ROM, though. Why do you want to root?

I took a picture so you can see all that stuff.. what you mean with i can get a RUU file? I want to root because then I can use apps2sd because i almost get always an notification that the phones memory is almost full :s so i need to remove other apps to install an other sometimes. And maybe some theme stuff but im not sure, because you need a custom rom for that right? or you think its not worth to root my desire? are there performance improvements? with stock or rooted ?
Thanks for the fast reply!

Hi All,
I've been happily using the old version of Amon Ra's recovery for at least six months. I'm wondering if it's really necessary to to the update? I'd father not flash a new recovery unless I have to.
If it is recommended, I know that ROM Manager doesn't support 2.3 yet, so is the best way to update placing the PC36IMG.zip in the base directory of the SD card?
Many thanks!
Tim
ROM Manager may still show 2.2, but it flashes 2.3.
If you aren't having any problems with 1.8, there's no reason to upgrade to 2.3. The new main feature is you can select which parts of the system you want to back up in a nandroid (data/system/wimax/sd-ext, etc).

Thanks Nivron!
Up to u to upgrade or not but it also has new feature to wipe specific parts of phone ie .. system, data,...plus a few others that wernt in there before
Its worth it to upgrade 2.3 has a tad more features when it comes to backing up.

Not sure but if 1.8 dont backup your wimax keys then you need to get ye to 2.3 as fast as possible.. Yes it is worth it...
I have the Indian HTC one X rooted with 1.28.720.10 and can't find the RUU anywhere.
I've been facing a lot of problems with it - including the disk space mysteriously vanishing, (20 gigs gone in my case) and so I want to revert it to a stock unrooted state before returning it for a replacement.
Already seen this thread for the AT&T version, and the sdcard does not have a mmcblk0p23 as stated.
I have the RUU for an older version(1.26.720.2) from the RUU thread so I want to downgrade the firmware to that one.
Anyone tried a variation of the AT&T method? Or is there another way to downgrade the firmware...or am I SOL?

wrong place to ask for. for all type of question there is a veeery big Q&A thread qo and ask there
You can't downgrade the firmware once updated the hboot and radio. You'll have to wait till s- off is achieved for that. What you can do is flash a stock rom (1.26), flash stock recovery, re lock bootloader (in order) and then flash the 1.28, subsequently 1.29.x firmware update ruu. If you want to get rid of the sd space issue, why not flash one of the many 1.29.x and 2.x based roms on the forum?
Wrong section btw. Anyway, best of luck!
Thank me if I helped.... You know I'll do it again Oh, and by the way, Sent from my HTC One X
Yeah, you can't flash an RUU that would take the hboot to a previous version. A few Chinese sites mention the 1.28.720.10 RUU, but I can't translate from my phone.
As said, just install ARHD 7.1 or whatever if you're already unlocked.

Hi all
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I cannot find any information on this for the life of me and it's driving me mad.
I have a notification stating that my 5.0 OTA update is ready but I can't install it due to the Custom Recovery on my device.
I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376) and flashed the 'stock' (not actually Stock - every link it CWM or TWRP) recovery but it didn't work and the update still fails. I think I read somewhere that something is different about this particular update.. that you need to have an 'untouched'/never rooted device?
Plllleeeeeeeeeeeeeease can someone steer me in the right direction so I can get this update sorted?
Thanks in advance.
have you made any system modifications to your current rom?
Also need CID and firmware version number
ALSO needs to be in Q&A (asked the mods to move)
Thanks for that.
No Mods to ROM, CID - HTC_001, Screenshots of software info:

ok so you have clean 3.29.401.9 stock rom installed, if not restore the nand available in my thread via TWRP. (may be best to do this as a fresh start)
Next install the 3.28.401.9 stock recovery.img from the first post in my thread.
hoprfully then u should be able to tale OTA automatically

every link is CWM or TWRP are stock Nandroid backup, not recovery.img
Look under Stock Recovery Images for the stock recovery
Thanks for your help, that seems to have done it.
The first time I didn't pay enough attention to my correct Software number (in my case 3.28.401.9). When I matched up my CID (HTC_001) I just picked a random link on that list which is why it didn't work.
Got it going now and back on custom recovery so thanks again for your assistance
