Couldn't someone save the OTA update, then I flash it to my phone?
No, as you need to be on an Orange ROM to get it. You're going to have to wait and hope the Orange 2.2 RUU is leaked...
Can a unbranded unlocked phone be reverted to stock state for warranty purposes? This problem primarily effects branded phones?

If you have the stock ROM. Orange UK RUUs have never been leaked so until they are there's no way of doing so
I'm not sure they're that savvy on checking. I sent my black (you can only get them from Orange) Desire back to Orange after it started overheating; I'd debranded it and put 2.2 on (before it was out here). I just described my overheating problem and the guy sent me another one, next day couriered, no eyebrows raised.

But that shouldn't be accepted as the norm as technically you've invalidated the warranty. They should've told you where to go in all honesty
Indeed, just thought I'd share. I took the gamble they'd have heard the problem before and just shoot me another one. I believe you get refurb though (this one was immaculate). I didn't want to wait for HTC to fix it.

It's very likely that if you kicked up a fuss you would have your warranty honoured on a debranded phone, since it's unmodified official software. It's a good idea to get an email from your network confirming that they will honour the warranty before you debrand, or you might be better off sending it to HTC directly for a repair.
At the end of the day if Orange piss me off over something so trivial then they will lose a cunstomer.. I know that, they know that... that's why we all get along
If someone has a nandroid backup of a rooted 2.1 orange uk stock can you upload it for us.
You might want to flash it and clear data to get rid of any personal data then make a new nand backup that is safe to share.
If you are kind enough to do so we can update ota to stock 2.2 for warranty purposes if we flash this...I think.
I agree with mercinary if someone could do that it'd be great.

I have a backup of the stock orange rom but how would I go extracting and uploading? If I could make it into an RUU I will just someone needs to tell me how.

Just upload the nand backup on multiupload and we will sort out the rest.
Don't forget to reset it to factory settings before uploading.
Just do this
Nand backup your current rom.
Restore stock backup.
Clear data/factory reset. Do this to clear your private data.
Nand backup this new clean rom.
Zip it all up and upload it to multiupload (you don't need to register with this site.
Copy the link multiuplad gives you and post it here.
Restore the nand backup you made of your current rom.
Receive many thanks from many happy people.
Thanks
yes many thanks
Right I'll do that now for you guys.
Here it is http://www.multiupload.com/ATSGUBVLQY
It does have the older software version though (1.15.61.10). So you will need to wait for HTC to release the newer version (1.22.61.1). Anyways I hope this works for you. Tell me if it does
Has no one tried this yet? D:
Trying now. Will let you know when I'm successfull
I have my Desire rooted and it's on Telus. I want to send it in for warranty repair but I haven't been able to find any Telus RUUs around for me to unroot with. So i was wondering if I do a 100% complete factory reset, will that unroot my phone?

no it wont ... check the webiste Shipped Roms to find your RUU ....
I just looked, that website does not have a RUU for my carrier. Any suggestions?
There is a Telus RUU available. You apparently didn't look hard enough at the website

I have a rooted Desire that was originally on Virgin UK, it had the boot screen and some Virgin apps but wasn't locked to any network. The problem is I never backed up my original rom and after being on a rooted phone now for ages I want to return it to a standard 2.2 stock unbranded rom but because im new to all this, I have no idea how its done or where to get the rom from. I asked this question on Modaco and someone gave me a link to what was meant to be a stock UK rom but when I extracted it it was a HTC app which I had no idea what to do with when I ran it it looked for my phone but I was to scared to plug it in incase it bricked my phone, I was expecting a rom that was installed from my SD card. Was I suppose to plug in my phone and allow this HTC app to return my rooted phone to stock? if not what do I do to return it to a unbranded 2.2 and where do I get the rom/app from.
Cheers
You need to find the RUU from Virgin but I'm not sure the new ones have been leaked

I have a Orange branded DHD, unlocked via IMEI, running 2.3.3, i want to install the HTC rom as i have been told it comes with far less bloatware.
I do want a genuine rom though, rather than a cooked version, so have opted for the HTC rom. I found and downloaded the following file which claims to be what i need.
Am i correct?
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed
Also, as it is a genuine rom, do i still need to do all that "rooting" business?
Or can i go ahead and install/flash?
Thanks for any possible help or tips.

If your phone is allready rooted then, after installing the new Official ROM it will be unrooted again, You can try downgrading to the official 1.3x version and then update from HTC direclty. I dont know if you gonna have any problems
because your phone is branded, but i dont rly think so. Im just a user using roms etc, have no idea for further instructions!
Considering you paid a hefty sum for your Desire HD, i strongly recommend you first find your branded rom somewhere in the dev forum first. Just in case you have to reflash teh stock rom for warranty issues. For the rest, I also recommend downgrading to 1.3x first and then flashing whatever you want (cooked roms need s-offs and root). I have a guide in my sig on how to root, s-off and flash a rom, however, stock roms are executables from what i know so you might not need to follow my guide just plug in your dhd with drivers installed and let the exe do its work. Regarding downgrading, you will find a link in my thread to the "Downgrading to 1.3x thread". Have fun
Edit:
I know of 3 ways to brick your dhd:
1. Partitioning your sd card with clockwork mod recovery 3.0.2.5
2. Editing some esf files or something and mistyping something
3. SMashing your phone into a brick wall repeatedly
So, don't worry so much, it's not a galaxy S
Yes, the file i have is an executable file. I think it is the most recent genuine HTC rom available for this device.
So, that being said, i should not need to root or downgrade etc? Just double click & go?
Surly you should not have to root your device when wanting to install a different, but still genuine rom?
I have found it very difficult to locate stock roms for this device.
Going to have another search now, but if anyone knows a shortcut, i'd be more than gratefull

You will need to downgrade first as your device is branded. Once downgraded just run the RUU and Bobs your mothers brother.
If you have an orange dhd you will need the orange upgrade. I'm pretty sure if you try to use a different one it won't let you do it. I'm not 100‰on this.
I used to get android updates for T-Mobile brand off the T-Mobile website.

Which is why you need to downgrade.
@ ghostofcain
And to downgrade is it just a simple rom flash? Or do i need to root or s-off etc first?
I know this would be the case with cooked roms, but i'm only talking about Genuine releases here.
I'm currently running an Orange branded 2.3.3 ROM, so if i simply flash an older rom to the device, then i am all set to flash the newest HTC generic rom to the Desire, right?
That older rom i need to flash first, it would have to be Orange branded too right? Is there any chance you could give me it's exact name or provide a link?
Thanks greatly for the help.

Once you have downgraded you don't need root or s-off to flash the RUU and you don't have to flash an orange branded one. You can flash any updated .exe.
if I have time ill find you a link..
*EDIT*
Also bear in mind if you flash the orange ruu. Or any other branded rom. It will still have all the bloatware you are trying to get rid of.
You must flash a standard HTC one. Go to the HTC website and download the official update from there. You will need to downgrade first though.

That's the problem, the HTC 2.3.3 rom was only ever released OTA, and is not available to download from their website.
Although i think i have managed to find the ".exe" version of that rom.
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed
From what i can tell, this seems to be the newest, Genuine HTC 2.3.3 rom for the Desire HD.
So, i just need to downgrade and then install this right?
So what do i need & what do i do to downgrade, bearing in mind what i currently have installed?

Ok, so where would i find this 1.32 rom?
Also, when i have this HTC rom loaded on, will i still receive any OTA updates? And would they be HTC branded one's from that point on?

the 1.32 downgrade should be in the link I sent you. I'm not sure about the ota updates. its seriously worth considering doing a full root after you dg and try out some of the fantastic roms some of which are kept as stock but you have more options and root privilages.

You have to downgrade and use a goldcard to de-brand your phone. You cannot flash a standard WWE ROM on a branded phone. After you have completed the steps of de-branding and flashing the latest WWE ROM.... OTA updates may or may not work.
Everything you have asked about is already thoroughly documented elsewhere in the forum and I suggest you go read all the stickies. Do not do anything with your phone that you do not fully understand as you could run into problems.
With Regards to warranty and such-like that people have mentioned, HTC don't really care what you do to the phone software-wise, they might have a problem if you returned it too them in pieces claiming that it just came out of your pocket that way.
Just read everything here and you should be good to go.
Peace.
Basically, my second hand, unlocked HTC Desire HD that I bought from CeX (I live in the UK) was rooted when I got it. It had AndroidRevolution 6.3.3 or something and 4EXT Recovery installed. Soon, I'm going to take it back to CeX for a refund because it's stopped connecting to my PC via USB. However, if they don't take it I want to be sure I can install a stock ROM, effectively reverting my phone to its factory state. No root, no unlocked bootloader, but most importantly, no custom ROM. Bare in mind, I have no idea how the phone was rooted or anything like that. This is a problem for me because I actually bought the HTC to replace a broken Xperia Play that had 14 months left on a T-Mobile contract, and when it broke because of ClockworkRecoveryMod Sony wouldn't replace it, so to find that my replacement is already rooted is essentially a disaster. I've heard of RUU etc. but I need a guide specific for me because I don't want to take ANY chances because if I brick this phone it's back to a Nokia 6030 for me until I get a new contract. Remember, I cannot use HTC Sync or anything because my phone is not recognised by my PC, and I have tried multiple cables and PCs. So basically, I need to put stock android on my phone so it will receive updates etc. and work as if it had never been rooted.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

As the phone was already rooted and running a revolution custom rom there is no need to return it to stock, I suggest you flash a new rom first. Try Lord Clockans rom IceColdSandwich 8.4. Make sure you do a full wipe.
