Im new to the inc2 and decided to get my hands dirty the best way possible, by getting a rom installed . Just wanted to check after using the alpharev tool getting s-off can I sill use a stock 2.3.3 ruu to go to a factory setting? minus of course the s-off.
any help is appreciated.
(edit) looks like i just needed to search a second longer, looks like my RUU method should be fine, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Hello guys,
Please help me out. I have an amoled desire and a slcd one also.
I tried to unroot both of them the amoled went good without a problem, however the slcd seems to be impossible to.
The slcd is S-OFF and not branded, and when I try to flash via bootloader the .zip file it keeps me telling me CID wrong (this was the method I used with the amoled desire and worked)
Please any help will be highly appreciate it.
Thanks
What ROM did it come with first of all? Was it branded?
I am not sure which ROM it came with, I am sure it is unbranded but the ROM it came well what I can tell you it was that it came with 2.2 Froyo already installed. Is there a way to know the ROM?
Not if you've since rooted it and run a custom ROM - this is why I always make sure I know what I've got originally so I can always fall back on something if need be...
Having said that, if you wanna go back to stock then follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
If it doesn't work then it sounds like it might be a branded phone as I'm sure a CID error is due to not using a gold card
So is not way to unroot it?
What happen if I install a custom Froyo ROM, like my other rooted desire that has stock froyo 2.2 rooted? would that help?
Well I have tried with a Goldcard also and nothing. The phone has even the S-OFF and i suppose that with S-OFF the phone should skip the CID error or am I mistaken?
When I run it with a goldcard the phone does not recognize the zip file
Best follow the guide in my other post and go back to stock and start again...

If i follow this method will I be then able to root the desire again?
Thanks a lot for your help I really appreciate it
Yes as it puts you back to stock 2.1
Have to ask, why are you going back to stock just to root again? If you're rooted already then carry on as before
Thanks a lot I just tried that utility and tells me I need a goldcard (even though my desire is unbranded)
Then when putting a goldcard it keeps up telling me the same.
Is there a way to know if the sd card i have is a goldcard??
Quick way is to make it again, then you know it's done
It also means your Desire was branded before you rooted it
Thanks a lot would try again later tonight really thanks a lot for the amazing help highly appreciate it
I have my HTC DESIRE locked to 3 UK, i rooted it the other day, and when i was installing a rom, i was told to update the radio, and i no longer get reception, and when i do it just seems to come and go, stupid me i forgot to check what radio i had installed at first, and now i just want everything to go back to normal and i really dont know what steps to take, i tried using a 3 UK ruu, but it was for hboot 0.80, but i have 0.93.0001 and when i tried it it would just give me an error saying please try again with the correct RUU, well something along them lines.
Could anyone please help me?
Thanks
You've already answered your own question - you need the 3 FroYo RUU or a stock RUU with a gold card to get back to stock. You can, however, just flash another radio and see what happens

Thanks for the advice, but that didnt seem to work as i had to unroot and downgrade my HBOOT first. But i figured it out now, and now have my Desire unrooted properly with the 3 FROYO rom by using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256 and then installing the official 3 rom.
Thanks
Never thought about having to sell it or how i would put it back the way i bought it
Selling my DHD and need to restore to factory state........i have CyanogenMod Rom
on it now....just want to know steps as not to screw it up.
Follow instructions in the Radio S-OFF tool thread. The method needs Radio S-OFF to work.

I really don't want to screw up so I'm just checking i got what your saying right.
#1 Flash stock ROM (RUU) This one>>>RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
#2 Temproot using Visionary
Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
and that's it? Is this right?
Crap
I did it and now i got the white HTC screen AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It said error 103: model id ERROR
IM POOPING my pants right now.......Helpppppppppp
What the heck are you trying to flash HTC Bravo RUU, we are using Ace here. Get the right RUU, and it will work. There is a stock ROMs thread in android dev subforum.
Sorry
I apologize for my amazing stupidity.......i got the right one and it worked flawlessly......THANK YOU SO Much for taking the time to help me.
I will try hard not to be a total noob next time.
Ok so I put the PCIMG10.zip file on my phone to turn s back on, but I didn't unroot my phone correctly before doing so. So now everytime I try to do some thing in terminal like turn s off again it doesn't work. And idk what to do, I'm kinda freakin out to be honest. (I attempted the xda unrooting process, but skipped the hexeditor step thinking I did everything correctly). Can someone pleasseee help me?!??

all you need to do is flash your respective region's RUU.
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
then here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
So you Rooted your phone, and then you S-Off'd your phone, then you attempted to unroot it yeah?
Sounds like you just made it S-ON, which is different to unrooting. I'd suggest you run a RUU.exe which will restore an unrooted rom.
Edit:
Eden beat me too it
What phone do you have? a PCIMG10.zip file isn't anything to do with the Desire. Desires are PB99IMG.zip, which is taken from an RUU
I did this tutorial to downgrade my HTC Desire to the stock rom, just to test it if it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
I'd suggest you find the correct RUU for your device here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
And try that. Will unroot and S-ON your phone (resets it back to stock everything pretty much). I've heard making a GoldCard is a good idea when running a RUU to avoid issues, even if you think your phone is unbranded.
I have a g2. So all I have to do is flash that RUU thing, then im good?? Or is there additional steps?

Go ask in the G2 forum and you might get a better answer

Hello all, please be gentle, I'm only back to the Android scene after a sebactical using iPhone. I have a UK O2 HTC One M8, CID is O2___001, HTCdev unlocked with S-On. I have installed a GPE rom (SkyDragon v3.0.1), brilliant rom, but wanted to revert back to stock sense. All the guides I have read state that in order to revert back to a sense rom I need to have S-Off, however the firewater method isn't working (having tried a number of different kernels), nor does the Sunshine method. I have tried to find an O2 RUU for the same CID with no avail, so am really hoping someone can help. Ultimately I am wanting to convert my phone to a GPE with OTA, but need to be S-Off to try this, hoping if I can get back to a Sense rom I will be able to achieve this. Hope this all makes sense. I have spend a good part of the morning searching through these forums, google, and even youtube looking for help, but am having no luck.
I have also tried to flash Android Revolution HD 21.0, it appears to install correctly, buy when it reboots it won't boot past the white HTC screen, all other guides state that I need to update the firmware, but need S-Off in order to to this.
Im starting to get confused so would really appreciate nay help anyone can give me.
Cheers in advance for anyone kind enough to reply.

You only need to "convert" back (s-off required) if you did the full conversion to GPE in the first place. That also requires s-off, and you mentioned you only flashed a GPE ROM (not full conversion) so it doesn't apply to you.
You can just flash a Sense ROM. But as you mentioned, you will encounter the firmware issue on newer Sense ROM. But there are still a variety of Sense ROMs still based on older versions (to get back to Sense).
However, you will want the stock ROM and stock recovery for the best chance of sunshine to work, and it doesn't look like those are posted on the stock nandroid collection for your CID: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
RUUs are only available for US carriers, AFAIK. So that is why you can't find one for O2.
Thank you, found an old sense rom that matched my firmware, and sunshine worked, not have S-Off, thank you again.
