[Q] Official rom + Desire HD rooted - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a question about : Official Rom & Root.
Firstly, I have downgraded my HTC Desire HD with Advanced Ace Hack Kit and rooted my phone with this same software. (ROM 2.3.3 w Sense 2.5)
All is perfect.
But now, i would like to upgrade my phone with this official ROM (2.3.5 w Sense 3.0) :
RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe
Is it going to run ?
I presume that i will lost my ROOT, S-OFF, and data, but...Could I keep my Sim Card unlocked ?
Thank you very much

Is the ROM rooted?

If you flash the ruu, you will lose root and data. Soff and simunlock wont be touched.

Isn't there a rooted stock in the dev section from a month ago .that's where you need to look..its rooted but literally untouched

Do you mean this one ? :

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
I've found a way to install this rom directly from the SD card by renaming the ROM : PD98IMG.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382928
Do you think that could work fine with this method ?
Note : I'm not really interested by a rooted rom, just want to keep my sim unlocked.

Rooted phone = rooted ROM. Flashing an RUU will revert back to stock. Snowpatrol posted it, there is a link to a rooted RUU, completely stock, nothing had been changed at all. Go through DHD Dev section, it's in there somewhere.

you need security off for flashing unsigned images

Surely this is a signed image though ? I am guessing the problem is that the previous posted needs to go through the "de-branding" procedure for his Bell Desire Z, so that he can flash a non-Bell DZ official ROM. Though of course turning s-off is an alternative.
Yes, but you need a gold card. A gold card will allow you to flash this to a Bell Z
If I run this zip file from the recovery, will it make my desire z go back to stock again??
I'm now running the stock rom Rooted and S-OFF.
And will I lose my root after this RUU rom?

Run this RUU ONLY if this was your original firmare (generic european)
IF that's your phone, this is official, You don't need root or S-OFF
This will restore absolutely everything to pristine, NEW condition (S-OFF and root will be gone too)
Thanks again.......it works!!
Flashed my Z with RUU, rooted it and got S-OFF.
Applied your overclock module and now it runs like a charm!!

I have tried this and my device has been there for 30 minutes and only says sending and sending updating the rom image
What shall i do please help
I also installed HTCsync because it includes the android usb driver.
Maybe this helps. And check if you got the right kernel version.

I noticed you posted in the Godspeed overclocking thread that 1.4GHz did not work for you.
I had the same thing.
I guess the 1.4GHz works for you after flashing this RUU ?
Or did you do anything else to get it going ?

STOCK?
Hi, is this with sense? Is there a stock RUU for Desire Z with Sense at all?
(the Htc website shows this phone with sense)

[Q] My desire Z became G2 t-mobile , help!

Hey,
As the title says above my Htc desire z , became g2 t-mobile.
This happened because my camera gives weird rainbow colors so i wanted to send it back to HTC but in order to have my warranty i'll have to unroot it.
So what i did is , follow a unrooting guide from google. which said unrooting for desire z/g2 t-mobile but it turned out that it made me install a G2 t-mobile stock rom , while i need to get sense stock on my phone.
Can anyone help me to return back to stock sense?
The stock i have now atm is the G2 t-mobile 1.19 version
other extra information:
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.82.0000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2
eMMB -boot

And after wiping i need to use the PC10IMG.zip of the 1.34 stock sense?
or do i only have to install superuser? since i got S-off
i dont even know how that happened to be honest wouldnt installing another rom through the RUU brick it?

Can you exactly tell me which method i need to root it? , i rooted it before with the rage method PC10IMG.zip 1.34 , and isn't gfree included in it?
btw once i rooted this phone back then i couldn't load PC10IMG.zip files because he wont find them , so i turned it back again to G2 , so probably the bootloader is G2 now or something because he wont recognise PC10IMG.zip files anymore the htc sense stock ones.

Install the Engineering HBOOT and do HTC Sense RUU like normal.
It sounds to me like the ruu you installed was the stock tmobile rom.

Root and Goldencard

Hello!
When I bought my Desire, I asked the seller to root it and to flash it with another rom for me.
Then I read something about a goldcard. Since the original rom was from Orange (French provider) and the previous owner had it unlocked (officially or not I don't know ), will I ever have to use a goldcard? As I don't have a goldcard, what can go wrong?
Thanks!

Goldcard is a tool which is required when you try to flash stock ROM. There are a myriad of reasons why you might need to do that in the future.
Here is the method I used:

If you do not have a goldcard you could be unable to flash an ruu. You need to do this, if you want to set your phone completely back to stock. You need to this, when you want to "delete signs" of root, s-off and installed custom roms. So that when you sent your phone back to your provider/seller, you can assert a warranty claim, although you lost it with rooting (and so on) your phone.
Ohhh shh**tt!!
@stringer7: thanks for the link.
I have a backup of the original ROM. Can't I just reflash it to restore the phone back @stock? Can I still make a goldcard?
Thanks for your help!
As far as i know, you can make a goldcard at any time. It's just important to have one.
You shouldn't need a Goldcard- but it's completely optional and beneficial in some ways
Well I plan to give my Desire to my Mom and buy another phone, I don't want her to experience any rom related bug so I'll turn it back to official rom...
Can I simply reflash the backed up official rom? Will I lose Root and/or S-Off?

Yes you would then lose root and s-off.
You could reflash your backup - but if it's a nandroid backup, that would have been done after you rooted wouldn't it, so you would get rooted official rom.
So best thing is find the ruu for your device and carrier, create goldcard and run the ruu? You will find tutorials on XDA for this!

Rooting a phone does not take the branding off it, flashing a Rom with no branding does that... For example, my phone provider is virgin mobile, when i rooted it I still had virgins logos and apps on my phone... When i flashed a custom Rom, I didn't

[Q] Downgrade HTC DHD and upgrade it again

Hi All,
I'm newbie for rooting.. I have HTC DHD which has 2.3 gingerbread and 2.37 build. i read lot of posts to downgrade and root. my question is.. if i downgrade it can i restore it back to previous version (for warranty purpose.. because i just bought it few months before.. still covers it's warranty)...
Thanks in advance...
Ezhil
Yes you can. My dhd is still under warranty and I rooted after having it 4 days. Be sure you make and keep a backup of the stock rom as soon as your rooted. I have a copy on my sd and my laptop.

HI twiztedvvv,
Thanks for your response... Is it possible to take back of stock rom before root the phone. because i read from some posts saying, in order to root my device i need to downgrade it's firmware to lower version.

i apologise. i forgot that you have to downgrade first. without root you cant create a back up. its not vitaly important just a handy thing to have. not to worry. you can just use an RUU to restore your phone to stock should you need to use thr warranty.
Thanks twiztedvvv.. Is it possible to have dual boot in my desire HD?
Yes there is a post with the instruction on how to do it in the dev forum. I can't get you a link right now though so do a search.

[DHD] Return to stock & unroot.

Hi, i have tried searching but got more and more confused trying to find the correct solution for my needs.
Can anyone help me please.
I need some warranty work done on my desire hd, the handset i currently have was supplied by my insurers so i don't think it was branded to my carrier (Vodafone Uk) when i received it.
I need to return to a stock official UK rom, i guess i need to change to a corresponding radio & ril too? and return to s-on and finally remove root and any other trace of being rooted.
I am currently running Android Revolution HD 6.3.3 if that is of any relevance, along with this radio: 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_28M
Hope somebody doesn't mind giving me a hand with this or point me in the right direction for a guide.
Many thanks :good:

When new the phone was locked to one network, flashing it back to stock RUU with s-off will it still be open or will i need to re-root to create a goldcard?
Thanks again you've saved this phone from a hammer!

If you flash a ruu, you will lose root but not S-OFF. Root is easy to achive, flash SU in CWM and that is all.
