[Q] Unrooting HTC Desire

Hey Guys,
I've got an HTC Desire, from 3 - it came with all the Three UK stuff on it (like the boot screen etc), but I rooted it, and flashed it with OXYGEN MOD, the latest one...but I'm now sending my phone in for a small repair job, and need to reflash it to stock.
I've made the goldcard etc, and am trying to flash it with an RUU H3G_UK rom, which I downloaded (RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe). However, when I try to update it using PB99IMG.zip method, it says:
Code:
'Main Version is older!'
'Update Fail!'
'Do you want to reboot device?'
'<VOL UP> Yes'
'<VOL DOWN> No'
Any ideas as to what I should do?
Cheers. Phil.

Oh, and I thought I should post this too:
Code:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.00001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.14

Yep this happens because you will not be able to downgrade the hboot with this official update, and because it is an old 3 rom, it contains an old bootloader.
You will either have to find a newer 3 rom with something like 0.93 bootloader or a newer wwe rom(3/htc won't care).
You might also be able to somehow flash an older bootloader using an s-off bootloader and fastboot, and then run the update afterwards, but that is way too complicated.

Which part of this?:
Code:
RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe
...contains the HBOOT version?

It doesn't, but the branded official roms are always that old, and as the rom version is 1.xx i know it is an android 2.1 rom, which means hboot 0.75 or 0.80.
Also your error message state the problem quite clearly.
And to clarify my last answer.. No you will not be able to find a 3 branded rom with a 0.93 hboot, so go for a wwe instead.

What about this?

Don't use that - your Desire didn't come on that 3 UK RUU so no idea how it'll behave as you have a PVT4 Desire
There isn't a newer RUU and those old ones are for AMOLED Desire's only - you're kinda stuck

That might and might not work. It depends on the hboot included. The topic you link to uses a hboot version 0.83, because it works with all slcd phones as well. So if the 3 ruu contains 0.83 as well, this should work, and if it doesn't, you wont be able to install it anyway.
Now for gods sake please listen to me when i tell you that neither 3 nor htc will care whether your phone contains a branded rom.. They might not even care if it is rooted. So please just flash the damn wwe 2.2 rom...
My last post in here i think you get what i think you should do and i cant/wont help you risking doing something stupid.

Good news fellows
I flashed it using this:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed
and it worked no problem, I'm now back running Froyo 2.2 woop. cheers!

[Q] am i able to turn s-off on my wildfire

im a little confused would i be able to turn s-off on my wildfire ?
my phone details...
hboot-0.80.0002
radio-3.35.20.10
microp-0622
android version-2.2.1
baseband 12.55.55.24h_2.35.20.10
kernal 2.6.32.21
if i am able to turn s-off on my phone would you be nice enough to link me to the right page ?
thanks in advance !!

You will have to upgrade to an official Froyo build before you can get S-OFF. AlphaRev X supports only HBoot 1.01x devices. Not the older 0.80x devices. (Yet)
Use the WWE 2.22.405.1 RUU from Shipped ROM's, and after that, you should be good to go.

thanks for your help i shall be doing this shortly

I also wanted to know how to downgrade the hboot 1.0.2. other way is that alpharev update version of its software and included in this a patch for the new version hboot.
continue in the search.

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277266

just to be clear - this doesn't work
There is no S-OFF for HBOOT 1.02.0000 on the MT3GS.
In your travels you may have also found links to this encouraging post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1277266
I've tried this method, walked through it all, even tried some other things and generally wasted a lot of time...
So just to be clear for those searching and finding this wonderful link to a possible method... IT DOESN'T WORK.
ESPRESSO PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 1.02.0000
cm7.1
and used to have S-OFF until the F*&ing warranty replacement came 2.2.1ing along

HTC lets you unlock your bootloader
go to htc or look on here and you should find out how to do it its for us with 1.02 but i havent been able to do it let and having a unlocked bootloader is the same thing just for the hboot 1.02 like s-off is for hboots lower i hope i helped

no it doesn't, you can't roll back software versions using RUUs... you probably had a freak stroke of luck where the bootloader wasn't for some reason updated.
To downgrade, you need to S-OFF with revolutionary, then flash the downgrader from alpharev, then run a WWE RUU. That will do it for you.

with goldcard flash RUU and start rooting process again...

thanks for the help but unfortunately it does not work :-(
by saying goldcard rru flash, you mean to create an goldcard
and with the card inside, to install the official rru.
i tried rru 1.12 and 2.29 and they failed :-(
any ideas?

Read the Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794314 carefully and also the alpharev website http://alpharev.nl/. Hopefully u will get the answer.

No he won't. Alpharev or revolutionary don't support the new hboots, so you can't S-OFF, as far as I know there still isn't a way to downgrade, and you can't flash an older RUU since it won't let you. It was a stupid mistake of even using it in the first place.

so, there is no hope for me :-(
