I want to UNROOT my htc desire, now everywhere everybody said use a RUU, I have used it once for a different phone. But now I need to know which one I need for my Desire, it was not branden, and I updated official to 2.2 then rooted.
I hope you can give me advise for which RUU to take.
Thanks
I can't post you a link (I'm too new to the board) but try
shipped-roms . com
Click Android then Bravo model (not Desire).
All the factory RUUs are here.
That's just why I'm asking it... I don't know what RUU to take, there are so much others... There are 20 RUU's to choose, I know I must have to have the right one.
And would the RUU also work with Amon Ra Recovery?
The main question is, what RUU to take? Please give the full name.
Edit: I have not S-OFF ed my phone, its now on cyanogenmod with Amon Ra recovery, and it came with Android 2.1...
Anybody who can help choosing the right RUU? Or do you need more information? Such as hboot?

if it was unbranded just use the latest WWE RUU or to be on the safe side the 2.3.3 update

it as indeed unbranded ( just without sim and everything, only the phone ). But the latest WWE RUU? Which would be that? Or the 2.3.3 update? That one, where could I find it? The 2.3.3 is really safe?
I found the 2.3.3 update on HTCDev. Is that one really safe to use if you are rooted with Amon Ra Recovery? Just run the RUU, ( From this page http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads with name: HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade 161.0 MB )
Is that one safe to use? And is it stable? ( Stable enough to sell it? Others won't see it? Only the Android version 2.3... ) And most important is it safe?
Or still what RUU to revert back to stock? Please...
I prefer the safest way, and I prefer to go to 2.2 again.

Hi everyone,
I've just got a brand new Desire from O2 Ireland (branded) with HBOOT version 0.83. I tried to root the device using unrEVOked. It partially worked...
I have superuser permissions on my apps menu. However, I can't get into recovery. When I try to get into recovery, the screen just goes black.
I believe this may be something to do with possibly having a new SLCD screen, which causes black screens.
Does anyone know if it's possible to root this new HBOOT 0.83 phone? Can I install a recovery that works, or at the very least revert to stock recovery?
And if it's not possible to root at all, can I upgrade to stock android 2.2. (O2 Ireland haven't released the update yet; checking for updates in the phone results in it saying there are no updates available, even thought the phone is running Android 2.1)
Thanks in advance for any help.
unrevoked doesn't really support hboot 0.83, as you have found.
You cannot recover to stock O2 firmware because there is no available RUU recent enough for SLCD phones. You will need to use this RUU with a goldcard:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
From this you can upgrade to stock FroYo OTA.
Unrevoked works with 0.83 + 2.1 just fine, after you root the only problem is that the recovery screen is black. The recovery is working, the only problem is that the kernel in it doesn't support the SLCD.
I have patched the recovery with the latest version of teamdesire's kernel and it works fine on SLCD devices. You can find it here: http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
It is flashable with unrevoked.
EDIT: this is a temporary fix until koush updates the kernel in recovery.
Yeah, I meant to say SLCD phones not 0.83 hboot.
Thanks for the quick response guys
I just tried installing that new recovery and it seems to work perfectly! Thank you so much!

Hi all,
Need to revert my phone back to stock 2.1, do you just download the stock rom and flash??
What's the difference between then signed and unsigned versions?
I don't have a goldcard, never made one, is that a problem. I am currently running clockwork mod with oxygen. I have not s-off'd the phone.
Any info would be great as I have to return it to three to cancel my contract.
Cheers

Do you know what ROM was originally on the phone? This should be the first thing anyone does before rooting so you can go back if you need to
H3G android 2.1. That's all I know.
Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Found an old post I made with some details about the original rom,
Radio 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09
Hboot 0.83.0001
Rom Stock 2.1 Update 1
I cant find this rom to flash back to stock, can only find the two H3G roms on the sticky.
Anyone got any ideas on this, need some help fast please.
Cheers
Blinky
did you keep the backup from when you first rooted your phone?
I did, but the sd card failed and I lost everything. Can I flash either of the stock roms or will one of them, or both, kill the phone?
If you are on 3 UK then you could use the newest 3 ROM from shipped-roms.com
Thats it? No need to use a goldcard (the one I dont have) just run the exe and it'll flash the rom, radio and be back to stock again?
Cheers

Desire is currently rooted and S-OFF'ed. Is it possible to "debrand" this way? Also this means I'll get the GB update (as I'm pretty sure VF won't release an update)
Thanks for any potential advice guys

It works on me.
I bought last year a HTC Desire from Vodafone, and rooted + S-OFF and i flash ruu for europe froyo 2.29.405 and now i`m expecting gingerbread.
Same think i made when i expect froyo update.

Yes, you can. But you need goldcard to avoid cid error and furthermore, you will loose root access and s-off. So imho it is easier, to flash one of the many custom sense roms with gingerbread you can find here. On this way you won't loose root access and s-off status, but you will have a gingerbread sense rom (which is what you want I guess).
or is there a easy way to unroot? I rooted via unrevoked......

There is no easier way to unroot as flashing a ruu, imho.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Ok so I guess if I flash the Voda RUU, the phone will have to do a few updates...... as the RUU is pretty old 2.1 I do believe...
if you instal the Vodafon RUU you will be branded again. And what is the point of unrooting? You can always find a rooted stock Rom, I am sure one will come out as soon as Gingerbread will be released.
And another problem would be if they release the update by IMEI and then if you are not at the original state of your phone you will not get the update even if not rooted.
True, best wait for a stock rooted ROM from here then and flash that via ROM manager

Please do not use rom manager, it is a horrible software which causes many heavy system problems here. Just do it directly from recovery.
Hi Fellow xda.
I have flashed the official Gingerbread ota update ruu to my desire.
After that i realized that i couldnt root or go back to Oxygen rom, now that the hboot version is 1.02
Before i had hboot version 0.93 i think.
I have tried the downgrade to 2.1
and root again with unrevoked.
None of these 2 methods work.
Is there any other way to go back to rooted and custom recovery to oxygen rom or hboot 0.93?.
With oxygen and launcherpro my desire feels faster than stock sense
Anyone else have this problem?
There is currently no method of downgrading the hboot or rooting the official GB RUU.
I guess all you can do is wait until somebody figures a way to root and install custom recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Ops good job I never installed this. I read others having this problem also.
Same situation, precipitaded mself, now can't root and all my backups are Titanium backups, have nandroid backups but can't use them....
damn...
isn't it possible to downgrade hboot?
I am also facing this problem. Is there any solution available now?
____________________________________
Device:
HTC Desire: Android 2.3.3 official Gingerbread rom.
No solution - check Alpharev/Unrevoked updates - if there will be a solution, it will probably be in the developement section.
Someone said that they used a Froyo RUU to downgrade then they just rooted. But it didn't work for other people but I think its with a shot. Otherwise you'll have to wait.
Swyped...
Hmmmm...I did not know about this...
I did not flash the RUU directly but tried to flash the rooted or modified ones from this forum...and decided to keep InsertCoin 1.0.9
How did the devs root it then? Perhaps, try asking Baadnewz and/or NeoPhyTe for help, since they have released the rooted official update.
I don't think they rooted it as such, but more of "ported" it. I don't know a thing about rom development but go and ask him.

The difference is that when u run the ruu, it will overwrite ur hboot, ur recovery, ur rom, ecc, everything...So u lost root, because the ruu restore everything as stock.
In particular after run the ruu, the new hboot installed doesn't allow to root again and doesn't allow to change hboot at the moment.
Instead, when u flash the rooted rom based on official gb (u already have root and u don't lost it, simply), the zip contain only the rom part and with inside the super user apk (that allow root permission), so flashing it u will continue to have ur recovery, ur hboot, ur root permissions.
Instead when running the ruu, so u lost root, there is no way to install again a custom recovery and there is no way to push the super user apk into the rom (unrevoked / alpharev doesn't work)..At the moment.
From devs side, create a rooted rom is easy, as they extract from the ruu only the rom and make it rooted pushing in the zip that they are going to create the super user apk and some other tweaks to the kernel as well...All this can be done with the dsixda kitchen
I hope everything is clear now

That you did. There are plenty of threads with that information available.
is there a way to root now?
we should wait?
Okay well then i guess im stuck like others :S
i was just thinking if there was a way to get superuser rights by using the terminal or adb.
i did also try the old root method for the desire that came before unrevoked. That didnt work.
Thank goodness...I was tempted to flash the original RUU...but my stomach told me not to do it...I would have been in the same situation if had flashed it too...
I hope there will be an easy solution in the near future for you guys
@andQlimax: Thanks for the information so...so, I hit the thanks button

That's prob as close as you'll get to the update without flashing the RUU.

Have the same problem as others here. Tried both apk and adb with GingerBreak. No luck
...but I'm trying to play around a bit and got a noob idea to use ARUWizard to flash custom rom. I've extracted RUU 2.29 and RUU 2.3.3 and replaced 2.3.3 rom.zip with the one from 2.29. It didn't work of course as newer version has been discovered but I was wondering if it's possible just to root the standard rom.zip and put it back. Is there any chance that it works?
Have anyone rooted htc desire with Gingerbread RUU update ?

I want to update my HTC Desire (AMOLED) with the current hboot of 0.75.
For revolutionary I need a hboot of 0.93. So, what's the best way to do it? I can't find a good tutorial. Can I simply download the hboot image from anywhere and flash it via CWM 2.x?
Is the current ROM safe or have I to reinstall it?
Thanks!

Use alpharev and follow the instructions there.
It is recommended that you return to rooted stock ROM before you S-OFF but it is not essential (I didn't).

Most roms wont work. Its certainly safest and best practice.
Thanks for reply!
Today I installed a prerooted stock froyo rom, but Alpharev won't work. Here's the error.
Is there another simple way to update the hboot to 0.93 so I can use revolutionary?
I believe you can flash the official Gingerbread rom found on HTCdev site. This will upgrade your rom to Gingerbread as well as your hboot. Then use revolutionary to s-off.

I'm still paranoid about that piece of crap. Please don't, just use a stock 2.2 RUU, anyone you want if you have a goldcard (preferably 2.2)
you can try alpharev
