Help restoring HTC Desire to stock - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a HTC Desire (Bravo), rooted and running CyanogeMod 7.1:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
I understand there are several threads about restoring, but I am wondering about these specific versions and S-ON. Can anyone please advise is it safe to use
PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
to restore to stock? Can I just copy it as PB99IMG.zip on a SD card, hold down and flash via HBOOT?
I am sincerely grateful for any help!

Hello! to revert your phone back to stock you need the RUU, you can grab the HTC desire android 2.3 ruu here:http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Unzip it, run the program, follow the instructions and BANG your s-on no root total stock htc desire

Use the latest 2.2 RUU instead of the 2.3 DEVELOPER RUU, because aside having 127MB internal memory it brings nothing much more.

Pick up a 2.2 RUU, because the 2.3 RUU for Desire is without warranty.

Actually HTC honour warranty on 2.3

Really? Hmm.. I though that not, because HTC said that is only at own risk.
But maybe you´re right

Hi there. Similar - but different - question. Water damage. Phone went to insurers. They fixed it and sent it back 8 weeks ago. I downloaded and installed 2.3 from htcdev. Seemed to work ok for some weeks. Now battery almost useless....it runs out in less than half a day. It was fine before it went. I can't start camera app or camcorderor any camera-dependent apps. I also dont see charging light when phone connected. Question(s) is do you think it's the 2.3 update or is it symptoms of previous damage - water? Should I roll back update or would the insurers accept it with 2.3? If htc accept 2.3 then insurer should too no?
Oh and to roll back to 2.2 can I just flash stock 2.2 WWE? Unlocked unbranded Desire

Charging light work when phone off? If not, hardware

I have tried to run the program and i seems to work untill it's waiting for the bootloader. It keeps saying waiting for bootloader and after a while my phone just reboots and comes with an USB connection error. Can somebody help me ?

Can someone please help ASAP
Thanks
I am 75% sure that it is the first one in the list under GSM. I have no way to be sure though. I think that was what was in mine.
Out of curiosity, why do you want to downgrade?

If you're not rooted, or even if you are, just flash a 2.2 ruu seeing as its been rolled out to a majority of Desires.
Sent from my HTC Desire
if you flashed the ota then you must downgrade your hboot version before you can flash any of the 2.1 ruu's, they will just fail otherwise

I am 75% sure it is the first one, however, it doesn't matter if it is the same one that was on the phone in the first place, it can be any of the official updates HTC have released.
You are free to install any released software from HTC (as long as it is not rooted) and your warranty will be intact.
Thank you for your fast reply StuMcBill
Now that i have downloaded that ROM. Is there a easy easy way by PC to unroot it back?
All help is thanked for.

Does your phone turn on? If so, you just boot your phone to Android, plug it to your computer, and run the downloaded file.
If you can't get to Android, try going into fastboot.
I am NOT 100% sure that it is that rom that originally came on the device, but I dont think it should matter, as long as it is not rooted.
In what way is your phone not working?
The speaker stopped working.
Its that easy to unroot it? Yes the phone does turn on
I saw this post. but it doesn't look easy.

I assumed it was for warranty reasons, but seeing as they've pushed out 2.2 to CPW Desires then it'd be odd if he went in with it still on 2.1

Turn off your phone, hold Volume Down or Back (Keep holding) and press power (keep holding) and you should get to either the HBOOT or fastboot screen, it should say HBOOT xxxxxx at the top.
Ok this is what it says:

Ok, well I think you might need the second file if you are on 0.80. Mine had 0.75 out of the box.
If your desire was unbranded from carphone warehouse you don't need a gold card.
Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
Moved to Q&A as not development.
If you're on HBOOT 0.80 then you'll need to flash the 1.21.405.2 RUU, that'll get you back to stock 2.1...then you'll get the prompts for the 2.2 OTA so ignore them or allow them, you can always go back under warranty on a stock ROM

[Q] Bricked desire [overheating issue, made it a bit stable]

Good day to all
Yesterday i get a bricked desire, that was only loading to bootloader. It is CID locked and not rooted. So i decided after some googling to find a suitable RUU, but i tryed aroud 15 and no luck. Flashing stops at radio upgrade and wont move. Now the phone is in a diferent state. It starts in a black screen with HTC sign and danger signs in corner. It still react on flashing, but now i cant do anything else. It just dont want to flash the radio. I found many advices and manuals, but they are for rooted and CID unlocked devices. So my question is... What now???
This screen appears.

As i said in my very first post... It freezes when he flash radio at 35%. And the question is... what now.
you can try to flash a recovery with android flasher and then instal a costum rom
Device is not rooted and not CID unlocked.
Any new ideas?
Would be nice to get some new hint i am nearly at end of possibilities.
why you tried to use ruu when you are on stock rom with branded device?
and did you bricked your device before flashing ruu.exe or after flashed it?
hey you can create a goldcard if your phone is recognised in fastboot in pc..
that will solve all your problems.
PHONE IS ALIVE Refridgerator trick worked. But still its overheating. Radio upgrade will be enough or its really damaged?
What about some giant active cooling :-D
I opened thedevice and inserted a piece of metal between processor and procesor cover with heatsinkin white pasta. For now no overheating. Posting from the desire

[Q] How to upgrade HBOOT 1.02.0000 to 1.02.0001 HTC Wildfire?

Hi there i recently decided to root my HTC wildfire but in the process accidently got my HBOOT to 1.02.0000 instead of 1.02.0001, i originally started at 1.02.0002 so can someone point me in the direction to get back to 1.02.0001
Also does factory resetting the phone get the original stock HBOOT back?
The phone is also locked to Tesco (O2 UK)

yes it has been one of the methods i have attempted to root
Tbh mate there is no real reason to go to that boot, it won't give you anything new or useful aside from peace of mind, but, should you still want to try u think you would need to use the htcdev ruu again and lose your rom ect just remember to back up

I did a very, very stupid thing. Help!?

Sending back my Desire to HTC for repair due to constant rebooting issues. Wanted to put stock ROM back on, unroot and S-ON it but somehow managed to be a total retard and just ran the RUU relevant to my phone. Having rooted it and going through several custom ROMs previously (most recently supreme1.2), I am disappointed that I didn't use my brain in this case, and now I have to salvage it.
So. My Desire.
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-4.06.00.02_2
I can boot into either HBOOT or FASTBOOT, however it will not boot into recovery. I have used both methods listed for S-OFF in [2]: ADVANCED BOOT PROBLEMS in bortak's troubleshooting thread (why didn't I start by reading the forums!), both claiming to be successful, however I still cannot boot into recovery.
I would very much appreciate any help. I am hoping that the fact I can boot to FASTBOOT of HBOOT will allow me to somehow fix this, but so far I have been unable to work out how.
I understand I am worthy of flaming heavily right now, so do knock yourselves out, as long as someone has a suggestion for me...

I was looking at running the downgrader but hadn't gotten round to it yet. I will give that a go. Is the 2.3 RUU you mention available on shippedroms do you know?
Yes it is, but I heard a few problems that people had with version from shipped roms. In my signature you have the explanation how to get it from htcdev.
Yeah, I did those things and I now have a fully functional unrooted s-on desire, that crashes intermittently all the freaking time. Just like before!
Gonna send it back to HTC, wasn't keen on this line of the email they sent me "Bear in mind though, should our engineers determine that the fault you are experiencing is caused by physical damage, wear and tear or illegal software, it will not be covered by warranty." mind.
We shall see what happens. Thanks for the help though.
Don't worry, I sent mine 2 week ago, but because of buttons. I just flashed 2.3 with downgrader, got s-on, and got my phone repaired in warranty.

You only use downgrader if you have oxygen r2 or cm7r2 hboots.. or am I missing something?

If you have Alpharev or Revolutionary hboot with stock partition layout it is write protected and if you run ruu you will have your phine working properly but you will still have the same hboot and s-off, also the radio won't be overwritten.
So, if you're sending your phone to HTC with warranty s-on is inevitable.

Yesterday I used the WWE 2.3 android RUU, but I want the cellphone back to original state.

touch panel-symw0101

But now I want back to completely stock, so any idea what to do? (s-on, unroot, etc.)
I did use the downgrader from alpharev, so now its s-on. But how do I get the original hboot and radio?
If you ran 2.3 ruu over downgrade you have it all stock, I don't know what yoj want more.

Ok. I thought it had to be the same radio and hboot etc, as when it was new, to not loose the warranty..?
OR else I thought only the updates on htc.com was seen as "official" and under warranty, all the others were unsupported, but it may only be in my head.
I don't find the RUU for my region, so if I used the WWE 2.3 update I have not void any warranty?
