Hi guys i took my Desire with me to a Outdoor trip and guess what now my phone doesn't work
I looked around a little bit and found that actually i don't get something on the screen its just blank but touchscreen works i can unlock the phone and the PC sees my cell.
Now I want to send it to warranty service but I don't want to lose my warranty so I want to S-on and unroot my cell.
I think this process would be pretty easy (since rooting and S-off where easy steps ) but now that I don't see anything I need your help guys.
My Desire:
Pvt-3 S-oFF
Clockworkmod Recovery
MIUI XJ
If someone could tell me the steps and the button I must press (like press five times down then enter...)
Guys from Germany how is the HTC service did they check for thins like root to void your warranty or would they replace my phone without asking?
And Guys from Turkey if my phone would be replaced I would get a new IMEI can I change this IMEI with my old registered IMEI or do I have to reregister my phone wich would suck (how I hate Bilgi Teknolojileri ve İletişim Kurumu)
I had my HTC diamond at the German HTC service due to a broken usb port. Warranty repair was refused because of a modified bootloader. At least I didn't had to pay for the failure analysis, after several mails I had sent them. Usb port was broken because of too high current and not a software mod btw.
Still you can try. Maybe fortune is on you side.

Hi.
I may have to send my desire back to HTC for GPS problems. (it keeps crashing)
As It is rooted and unlocked and has had a few different custom roms on (Modaco, opendesire, defrost etc) Can I just put a RUU rom on it and that will reset it back to as factory or will they refuse to repair it?
I bought the phone on ebay but its still within the 12 months and I dont think its from a net work as it has no network logos.
You should be able to install an ruu and send it out for repairs. Make sure you create a gold card and keep it handy.

Thanks sheik. Thats what I thought. Whats a gold card
As above, you can put the original RUU on the handset and this will return it to factory state, and HTC won't know you have rooted. I did this for a warranty repair.
As for a goldcard, you only need one if your handset was network branded. Infact, I'm not even sure you need one anymore with unrEVOked now anyway?
hi guys, can some please help me on this. im a bit stock. i am on tmobile network and have a DHD and i would like to return to stock. i have gone to the HTC Desire HD files but i dont know which one to use for me to return back to stock. can anyone tell me which one it is or post a link for me please as i dont want to flash the wrong one. I really need it as i need to send it back for repair. I really need it asap. Also i have 1 problem, my volume up button is stuck and when i turn my phone on, it vibrates 3 times and the orange light just flashes. is there a way to sort this out?
Since you want to send it to repair, ask them to repair the "stuck" volume button problem.
here is the link to go back to stock.

Here is also a little shorter version from jkoljo's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=857537):
"To go back to S-ON:
•Flash stock ROM (RUU)
•Temproot using Visionary
•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
•Enjoy your factory-state phone"
And here is the RUU for Telus DHD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932771 (Notice that I'm not sure if this is the recommended version for your phone but this is the only one I could find with a quick search)
@hedayat7
Thanks for exactly copying one of my posts but it isn't the Telus RUU that he needs
@Rawdi
Was your phone branded when you got it?

i dont know if it was. how do i know if it was? please help me. i love my DHD too much for it to turn into a coaster. if i send it back to tmobile, even though i have rooted it, does it void the warranty?
What exactly did you do when you flashed a custom rom (assuming you did)?
@Hawks556 , hehe .. very lazy to type new post, found yours and copy paste.
btw, credit to Hawks556 . hehe

nothing, i have the leedroid rom and what i did was a restart as it was playing up a bit. when i did the restart, the 3 vibrates started and the orange light started to flash. i went in to CWM and did a key test and the volume up button did not respond so i take it is stuck. the way that i go into CWM was i plugged in my charger and the CWM comes up. i really dont know what i can do. also i dont want tmobile to know that i rooted my DHD as i heard it voids the warranty. any ideas on what i can do?
I meant how did you flash it? Did you have to use a goldcard etc? Did your phone have any t-mobile logos anywhere (eg bootanimation) when it was running stock rom? If not then you can do this:
- Flash stock ROM (RUU http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_A....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe)
- Temproot using Visionary
- Use my tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537), do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID, should be T-MOB005 for t-mobile uk)

Also messing with the software shouldn't really void the warranty because the defective volume button is solely a physical fault. There could ofcourse be a dispute of somekind, but in the end they have no right to refuse warranty service.
This could though become o problem if you have any software related warranty issues in the future.
Recently my phone's touchscreen on the left side has become unresponsive. I couldn't even put in my password because everytime I would put in my password starting with "1" it would do a "2" or not respond at all. I've had a similar issue before and fixed it by just updating form 2.3.0 to 2.3.5.
Factory reset didn't sort it, so my only other alternative seemed to try a custom rom. I ran the RUU and it said my software version 2.14.709.1 wasn't supported. I tried the methods of using the 2 zip files and also modifying the csv to no avail. So I'm still stuck with an S-On device that's useless to me because it's unresponsive.
Questions: Has anyone unlocked their phone with this version and if so, how? After running the two zip files in an attempt to unlock the bootloader my phone has LOCKED (OOW) up the top now... but still S-On. Some have said it means it's out of warranty, others not, because it's still S-On. Given that, is it still possible to return to HTC and let them sort it out?
Try to tp calibration,check guide in xda forum .

I tried calibration to no avail... I guess my only option is to find someone with an xtc clip.
I had problems with my wildfire s. My first wildfire s would play music then pause, then skip by its self, so i took it back and got a new one. Next one touch screen was very unresponsive, I would have to press the screen hard to make it work and when I would make a call the screen wouldn't come back on, It would "fall asleep". If you can take it back under warranty I would do that and let HTC fix it or get you a new before you start modding the phone. Save yourself from headaches and let them take care of it.
My phone came S-on...some (few) come S-off
As the person before me said, try to see what HTC can do for you and let them judge if it is still under warranty. If it is, have it fixed. If it isn't, see how much it will cost to repair the device. Then you can see if it's better to buy a new phone or, if it's still worth it, to have the phone repaired...
Hey guys...
so recently i deciced togo back to the g2 stock hboot from the Eng doubleshot one to flash the pc10img.zip for unroot...

when i should have followed the second page for the G2....
Any help plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz im freaking out here i.....the phone was rooted
so you have (originaly) a mt4gslide or dz or g2. what hboot did you then install? what hboot did you mistakenly go to, what one were you trying to go to
can you boot into hboot?
can you get anything when powering on?
if you answer to the last 2 questions is no then only jtag will help, if yes then there is still a chance you can fix it easily

No my firend it dosent turn on and i cant go to recovery nor hboot. I mistakenly flashed the Desire z hboot on it.all i can do is charge it and it...and the orange light come on..
PS: whos jtag
jtag is a way to force the os, bootloader etc onto your phone. to do this you need to have the proper adapter to go to your computer and your phone, which you would also need to know the points on your motherboard to connect the jtag adapter (these have to be temporaraly soldered in place. then you need a program to communicate between pc and phone and of course the software.
usualy only a select few places have the ability to jtag a phone, rarley is this done by the doityourselfer. you can look for some one to do this for you but the cost probably will outway the cost of selling your phone for parts and buying a new one
sorry for the bad news, good luck!

I'm going to try the JTAG person on Ebay in the USA.
I will send 2 HTC Desire Z, one that doesn't even load and one that can only start up in recovery and has probably a broken emmc chip.
Ok so I have installed arhd and want to revert back to stock for warranty service
I made a Nandroid backup before unlocking the bootloader
Please guide me through the process
specs:-
cid-11111111
hboot-1.36
s-off
U can't get completely to stock. You have to install your main version RUU after locking the bootloader, but u will face the problem where the bootloader says 'relocked' instead of 'locked'

So will I be able to get warranty service or not
I don't think so dude.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Can anyone else confirm this fact?
You can easily return to stock and run any ruu because you have s-off
with s-off you can also LOCK the bootloader instead of relocked, so lock it and send it for warranty
Depends on what is the problem with Your HOX. If they need to replace Your motherboard then You gonna pay for it. HTC official policy... I'm from Poland and I sent it for repair 3 times. Everytime they needed to replace motherboard. And they did it two times even with relocked bootloader (don't know why, maybe they always repair phones with broken autorotation? common issue with hox. coz it was the case with first and second repair). 3rd time I got problem with screen backlight and bang - ~$300 . I tried contacting with HTC Poland and HTC Taiwan but same answer. If bootloader was unlocked and motherboard needs to be replaced You need to pay for it. Any other issue with any other part and they fix it for free. So hard to tell really. You may be lucky What is Your issue with HOX? You may also consider burning down the motherboard... They will not be able to tell if You had bootloader unlocked... But it's kinda cheating... I just read somewhere that some dude did it and they replaced his motherboard for free

Can you explain how to lock bootloader
I have a nandroid backup can I use that for restoring my phone
Please explain
Thanks for everyone that helped really appreciate all replies
And I just realized that putting "urgent" in my title of the thread does not mean that my question is more important than others
Any help will be appreciated
An s-off hox also can show relocked only.
