How dangerous is it to run RUU on desire Z - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I want to unroot/revert to stock my Desire Z. Can I just run the RUU, or will my phone brick? I am S-OFF and have root.

Im not sure but i hope this will help you :

Note quite: Can I run this RUU(http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4a...140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_160882_signed.exe) without my phone bricking?

Your phone won't brick, but with that release you can't fully unroot.
If you want S-ON you'll have to flash a lower version rom, there's a full list at shipped-roms.com
to fully unroot you need a 1.34 rom

Hi Nipqer, what RUU version of desire Z should I download to be able to root with goldcard? Also, where can i get these RUU files? There's a link in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055581 but the multiupload server seems to be down since February. Thanks

Again if you were already rooted with S-off , and you say you did a factory reset , what exactly did you do to "factory reset"?????? In your first post you said you had perm root before, so this means you would have had S-off, meaning in order to get S-on you would have had to unroot your phone. How did you root your phone the first time??? What did you do to unroot your phone now???????? Doing a factory reset would not unroot your phone. So my guess is you never rooted the first time. So that means you must be doing something wrong in the rooting process, as far as I know your version is rootable, what methods have you tried and exactly what steps have you done in the processes.
I wonder if the 1.74 RUU worked at least enough to change the phone back to S-ON, and as has been discussed the 1.74 stuff can't be rooted using normal methods.
I might suggest this for help:

[Q] Vfone Debranding and CID Change for OTA updates

Hi All
I'm new to the forums today and have been reading up on Debranding my Handset as well as changing the CID.
I'm hoping one of you more experienced guys out there can clarify the inderstanding of a total noob here i.e. me.
Essentially I want to Debrand a Vfone DHD running 2.2.1 and simply flash the latest 2.2.1 Unbranded equivalent (HTC) My understanding however is that in order to install OTA updates without leaving a gold card in place I need to set the CID to HTC_001? So to do this I believe I need to:
(1) Downgrade to 2.2 using Gold Card Method
(2) Install Visionary and Root the Phone
(3) Use 'one Click' radio S-Off tool to set s-off
Here's where I need a little help.....
How do I change the CID to 'HTC__001' set radio S-ON and then flash the Unbranded 2.2.1 ROM?
Is it merely a case of using the tool ‘One Click Tool’ to do Stock CID and S-ON and then Unroot the Phone before reflashing Android 2.2.1 (unbranded) using the Gold Card method again? Or is there an easier solution?
I am essentially trying to obtain an Unbranded 2.2.1 CID HTC_001, Radio S-ON Phone.
Cheers

The radio s-off tool will give you superCID (11111) this means you can apply any generic or branded update

Thanks for that. One last quick question if that's ok. If I downgrade to Unbranded HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_R-1.28.405.1_R2_releasef3xogq2juqkgt3v5 how do I then re-upgrade to 1.72....unbranded? Will I be able to do this by searching for an OTA upgrade using the Phone or do I need to flash another rom manaually.
Thamks again

[Q] Root a HTC Desire Z 1.83.415.2

I have a HTC Desire Z from the Asia Middle East region with the following specs:
Android version:2.2
Kernal version:2.6.32.21-
Build Version and software version:1.83.415.2
Is there a way to get to CM7 i.e to downgrade/root this phone.
Thanks
Downgrade to 1.34, then root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
Pretty sure there are others here on the same ROM as you, that have done it this way successfully.
There's a couple ways to do it, the best way would be to follow the root method in the wiki using rage then get S-OFF with gfree.
Once you have rooted it, install Rom Manager and flash clockwork then download this zip and flash it to get a working Superuser.
Edit: You may have to downgrade to get S-OFF, I bought a NAM Desire Z and had to downgrade then flashed the ARA RUU.
Not able to downgrade
Thanks for guiding me
I followed the wiki guide correctly upto all the steps until....The downgrading part
And I am Stuck in the Downgrading process i.e Phone thinks the PC10IMG.Zip file is not a valid file in the boot loader menu and restarts to normal ,
Could this be due to this version(1.83)???
What do I do now!??
Do these details help:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0009
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.04.02.17
Did you make the gold card first?
Guide Here.
Anyways, it seems your Desire Z has a unique CID probably put on it by a manufacturer. All you have to do is make a gold card then you can downgrade with the gold card inside the phone.

[Q] Unrooting HTC Desire

Hi, apologies for creating another thread for something that is probably very simple, but the information I’ve found can be conflicting sometimes
I've a rooted HTC Desire with a (very old) LeeDroid ROM installed.
Phone is going, so I want to revert back to the office UK T-Mobile ROM.
Current configuration:
Bravo PVT1 S-ON
HBOOT - 0.80.0000
Radio - 5.09.05.30_2
Clockwork Recovery v 2.5.0.7
I've never messed about with S-OFF or anything?
Is it simply a case of getting the correct RUU (which I think I have, RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed) and running it?
I realise that this is probably a stupid question, but any assistance would be appreciated?
Thanks
Put the 2.2 one on, not the 2.1
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe
Or better yet put the unbranded 2.3.3 from htcdev.com.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you need to install a rom with sense, plug USB in HTC Sync mode and then run the RUU.
Then the official RUU should take care of everything (boot, radio).
But again, never done myself.
Thanks guys, installing the official RUU from the website worked perfectly
Thanks for the advice

Unroot with RUU

Hi, I am from India. I have rooted my DHD(unlocked) using AAHK. my DHD is now Ship-OFF, Eng-OFF... currently i am running ER3BUS Final (Sense3.5) rom.
I want to return to Stock due to some reason. I have downloaded RUU " RUU_ACE_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe ".
My first question is...will this RUU work in India (though its WWE edition..still i am confused).
My second question...running RUU will update - Ship-ON / Eng-ON ??
I want official HTC update after unrooting it...
Please help me guys ...............................
You need to downgrade to what you had running before you rooted. AAHK can do that too. After that, use AAHK again to flash the RUU which will bring the phone back to stock, S-ON.
