Ok, I'm new to htc's and don't hate on me for asking this but I've searched here and on Google and am not getting good enough results, I currently have a 2.2 stock ROM with root and clockwork to boot ( just got the phone and it was this way when I got it) I now have to send the phone in for repairs and I was thinking if it would be ok to just update to the 2.3 htc stock update?
Do the RUU's include everything boot,radio and ROM?
I come from the world of Samsung where we have small updates (that don't have boot) and large ones (wich include all 3 packages)
Also if this was posted in the wrong section, mod could you please move it to the appropriate place thank you
Cheers.
A RUU is indeed a complete package. It will return it completely to stock.

Just make sure you have stock hboot, the RUU won't fit into CM7 hboot

yes it will, the alpharev overwrite protection doesn't work on the 2.3 update and will update the bootloader also.
Oh thats good to know...

im not sure about this, as some users reported to remain still s-off after the 2.3 ruu (and this should be logic as the alpharev bootloader version is 6.93 (>1.02))
I did the update and everything went great, I also saw that the loader is now S-ON
whatever that means

you need security off for flashing unsigned images

Surely this is a signed image though ? I am guessing the problem is that the previous posted needs to go through the "de-branding" procedure for his Bell Desire Z, so that he can flash a non-Bell DZ official ROM. Though of course turning s-off is an alternative.
Yes, but you need a gold card. A gold card will allow you to flash this to a Bell Z
If I run this zip file from the recovery, will it make my desire z go back to stock again??
I'm now running the stock rom Rooted and S-OFF.
And will I lose my root after this RUU rom?

Run this RUU ONLY if this was your original firmare (generic european)
IF that's your phone, this is official, You don't need root or S-OFF
This will restore absolutely everything to pristine, NEW condition (S-OFF and root will be gone too)
Thanks again.......it works!!
Flashed my Z with RUU, rooted it and got S-OFF.

I guess the 1.4GHz works for you after flashing this RUU ?
Or did you do anything else to get it going ?

Hi, is this with sense? Is there a stock RUU for Desire Z with Sense at all?
(the Htc website shows this phone with sense)
I bought an HTC Desire, its rooted with Gingerbread Villian installed on 2.3.3. How do I go back to Froyo ot whatever stock HTC ROM the phone came with?
Complete noob so if someone can provide me with thr correct stock rom for my Desire or help me find it and a guide to install the stock firmware? ThNks.

should work if you have a non-branded handset - else you might need a goldcard.
I haven't delved much into custom ROMs yet - but AFAIK you should be able to just run this straight over the top - it will remove root etc. right back to stock

Use some logic...the RUU file is an .exe, which is a Windows program. This would mean you have to run it on Windows. Then you'd be presented with instructions for the rest. Use a little common sense
why not try another custom rom . it's great fun

As above - it actually has full instructions while running the RUU.
but for basics you click something like 'I agree to return my phone back to the stock image, and confirm that I know it will wipe all user data etc. etc'
Then click accept to 'I agree that it must be above 50% battery life, and connected to the PC via USB cable' - then I think it verifies that it can find the phone, then says something about it will replace the current image with the stock image (2.29.405.5), then basically just says wait a couple of minutes, your phone reboots and flashes for a few minutes (I think with a big HTC logo and a progress bar), then when it's done it says DONE! and your phone reboots into the welcome wizard as if you turned it on for the first time...

Hi all, so I've been trying to update my hboot from 0.75.0000 to .93 but have been FAILING miserably. I'm currently on ICS, and have tried alpharev which didn't work. Trying to flash rom to RUU has also failed but I don't know why. Flashed my radio to match the one with the RUU and that didn't work, which i'm guessing is due to the inability to simply flash from ICS to 2.2 or 2.3?
So my question is, any other tips?
Try to flash the hboot downgrade from alpharev then the right RUU. If that works you can root and s-off your phone with unrevoked/revolutionary. If you want to change hboot to cmr7 or data ++ (example) you MUST be s-off......

Thanks for tip, I've actually done alpharev and it also failed. Reason being it needs a rom that doesn't already have a2sd, any suggestion as to which rom is suitable?
Thanks
Edit: I've actually online done the hboot reflash, and not the downgrade. Will give that a go first and see what happens.
I think that all the rooted roms have some sort of a2sd, that's why I think you have to start from the beginning. Start with an original ruu.bring it back to its original state wich came out of the box...my knowledge doesn't reach that far ;-) its the easyest way I think.

Can you post your complete bootloader. Turn of phone, hold down volume and press power. What info does the left upper corner give you ?

Still I think what's best is to go back all the way and install a ruu. Then go directly to revolutionary. It will root and s-off your phone and installs the custom hboot.
Maybe I have more time to help tonight, I am at work now :-(

Is it possible that your phone is branded by provider, in that case you have to create a goldcard first. I have no experience in this. Hopefully I am pointing you to the right direction.

Hey there, firstly I would like to thank you for ALL your help and of course the effort you've put in it.
I've actually fixed it by firstly going to page ~16 of the android development forum for the desire, get an old rom, flash it in and then performed the alpharev. Lo and behold it worked because the rom is reasonably old and a2sd was "new" then. Flashed it back to ICS now and I am proud to announced that I S-OFF'ED!!! Partition done and OFF I GO.
That's great !!!! Have fun with your fixed desire )))

Thats it , but as tiny said i would keep it s-off unless the buyer really wants it s-on. That way if he ever does decide to root, it makes it that much easier.

The only instability GB has for SOME is the 2am bootloop. I my self have never had the issue. Also if you install froyo you will continuously get the update nag to gb anyways. The only way to stop that is to be s-off and rooted.

What i just do is i go to Hboot. You can go to HBoot when your phone is turned off. While it's turned off, hold the power button and the volume down button simultaneously. Then, use the volume buttons to highlight the factory reset button. Then, press the power button to select it. It lets me go back to stock, but, for others, it just wipes their apps. i hope it works for you!
Hi,
I would like to return to the stock ROM on my Desire. Problem is, I don't know which RUU to get. At the moment I am using CyanogenMod 7.
Did some digging and found the app called CID Getter. If there is any info there I must provide, please tell me.
Also is there anything special to be done with the RUU or do I install it as I do any rom?
Thank you.

Would doing this remove s-off or clockwork or anything else? Or could I just re instal another custom after?
It will remove everything. You can use revolutionary after you install a custom recovery and s-off.
This is the kernel, albeit you'll have a hard time achieving what you told and it will net you virtually no gain because poor cpu is not the main drawback this phone has.
