Desire People,
Im trying to unroot my phone now im stuck in hboot (altough it is an original hboot and its s-on again) but when it updates from the hboot it gives the message:
"Main version is older"
What should i do to fix it?
Much thanks
GR Kay
The language here on XDA is english. So please use it.
How did you try to unroot your desire?
I think the steps you have to do for unrooting are:
-Flash the Bravo Downgrader as described here: alpharev.nl
-Flash a RUU that fits for you from here: shipped-roms.com (you need a windows-pc to do so)
Hope this helps, greets

He is S-on, so cannot flash the downgrader.
OP, What RUU are you using? What Hboot version?
You cannot flash older Hboots, you must flash same or newer so RUU must contain newer HBOOT than you have.
Please provide full details of your device.

I'm using oxygen 2.1.6 with hboot oxygen r2, s-off & rooted.
If i want to flash back to original rom with boot sound enabled, what should i do first?
Because i'm planning to sell my desire.
Could someone give me to original rom link & suggest one?
I see there are many versions. Thanks. Good day.
Is your phone a branded one?
If not, use the latest WWE RUU from fastboot.
Get it here.
Also, because you are using the never alpharev HBOOTs, you need to download their DOWNGRADER first from alpharev.nl
This file: Bravo Downgrader
So Step 1 : Flash Downgrader
Step 2: Flash RUU from fastboot.

Thanks for your reply. My phone is unbranded.
Any command to flash the RUU from fastboot? Coz' i never done before
After flashed this RUU, does the phone become S-ON & Unrooted?
I'm planning to flash hboot bravo stock 250|40|147 and flash Froyo Rom which quite similar to stock one. Leave it rooted & s-off. Any idea which ROM? Thanks.
Nothing. Download the .exe file then boot your phone into fastboot, plug USB and run the RUU from your PC.
It is recommended to flash the DOWNGRADER, not the alpharev stock, because there is a possibility, you will still have S-OFF if you don't flash the downgrader.
So, if you want it unrooted and S-ON: then the Downgrader from alpharev must be flashed.
Well if you want to leave it S-OFF & Rooted - then I'd suggest:
Leedroid 2.5.
Alternatively : Rooted Stock
again, thanks +1
i am had wildfire s-off
i had flashed HBOOT 0.80.007
i can not s-off again
please help me
Get HBoot 1.01.0001 by installing the WWE 2.22.405.1 RUU from Shipped ROMs, then perform the S-OFF procedure using Revolutionary again. It will not work on HBoot 0.80x.
You can get the file from here:

noooo
did not flash all ruus
im s-on again by hboot 0.80.0007 forum this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160251
ailpharev not work for hboot 0.80.0007
and i can not update to 1.01.0001
help me
sory my bad english
Why cant you update to 1.01.0001? Did you flash the RUU?
Actually, I am telling you to flash the RUU to get to HBoot 1.01.0001, then use Revolutionary again. (The correct RUU is WWE 2.22.405.1)
im use allway ruus
error:cid error
any hboot & any ruu
i lost day test hboot 1.01.001 equal error ,s-off correctly,but by hboot 0.80.x no update no s-off not work
CID Error means you will need to create a Goldcard and then try to flash the RUU. If you need S-OFF again, you will have to update to HBoot 1.01.0001, else, its not possible.
If you just want to root and install Custom ROMs and stuff, then, dont bother with S-OFF, just use Unrevoked.
I've done a lot of reading and see where Alpharev has a hboot downgrader but does this work with CDMA version BravoC?
I rooted using Revolutionary after having hboot 1.06 for a USCC Desire. Phone is out of standard warranty but I need to send phone in for repair under extended warranty. When I flash 2.2 RUU it cannot roll back hboot version.
Thanks!
I still haven't found anything. Thanks for the help.
what was your original Hboot number?
see alpharev page, if your model is supported try this -
flash HBOOT bravo_downgrader and right after that run appropriate RUU wich contains default hboot to protect extended warranty
as a result of this process you become S-ON again with stock Hboot
i think this may work even for CDMA version but i am not 100% sure
google it and you will find the answer
Here is about GSM Desire...
Actually I just use revolutionary to s-off my phone and it work. I test several new ROMs right now, then I try to flash stock ROM back when found this thread. I can flash the RUU HTC Froyo successfully. but...
the hboot is not overwritten. it still revolutionary. I am very sure the stock ROM I use contain hboot. because I can see it upgrade my hboot from 0.8.000 to 0.93.0001 during I flash this ROM before I s-off it yesterday.
revolutionary claim that we can get the original hboot if we flash stock ROM that contain hboot but it not working for me. maybe you need to tell them about this.

[8]STILL S-OFF AFTER RUU
"I want to return my phone for warranty, I used a RUU but I'm still S-OFF"
Cause:
- Alpharev's Hboots are write protected, so that they can not be overwritten by a RUU
HOW TO S-ON
METHOD 1#
[STEP1]- Visit Alpharev and download the "Downgrader"
[STEP2]- Flash the downgrader over fastboot. This can be done with Android Flasher, cmd, or fastboot commander (Note: android flasher is the only program that does not require third party software such as Android SDK or Java JDK)
[STEP3]- You should now notice the title on the bootloader screen is "Alpharev Unlock", run the RUU again and you will have S-ON'd your device.
#METHOD 2#
[STEP1]- Instead of running the RUU again, and putting your phone at risk once more, you can simply upgrade just the bootloader manually, with the PB99IMG.zip method.
[PHASE1]- we need to extract rom.zip from the RUU.
[P1/STEP1]- Run the RUU (BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE OR CONTINUE), move it to the side as it cannot be minimised.
[P1/STEP2]- go to start menu, and use the "run" feature. Type in %temp%
[P1/STEP3]- select "date modified" to "today" (to make it easier to find). There are should now be 2 folders with long names of random characters.
[P1/STEP4]- search the folders for rom.zip and extract it to the desktop.
[P1/STEP5]- delete everything EXCEPT "hboot_8x50_0.93.0001_20100810.nb0" and "android-info.txt"
[P1/STEP6]- rename the zip to PB99IMG.zip (make sure it is not PB99IMG.zip.zip)
[PHASE2]- now we need to update the bootloader
[P2/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER). After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
[P2/STEP2]- Once the process is finished, you will now be S-ON.

Hi Everyone, sorry for the noob question here but I need to take my phone in for warranty so I'm looking for some help on putting my phone back to stock.
Currently my Desire is running CM7.1 RC1, Radio 5.11.05.14, S-OFF with AlphaRev, HBOOT 0.93.1000, and rooted with unRevoked3
From what I've been reading online I should be able to flash the RUU at the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 however I'm not sure which one is the correct one for Telus?
I do have a nandroid backup from before I did S-OFF and I think even before I did root it. Not sure if that helps me out or not.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
Thanks!
Telus is this one:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151557_signed.exe
If you used the latest alpharev to S-OFF, you may need to flash the downgrader hboot for the RUU to work.
Thanks for the link, when I go to run it I get the following error.
ERROR[152]: IMAGE UPDATE ERROR
From reading the ReadMe it says "One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again."

Just find the proper RUU for your (region and carrier related) and run it from your PC.

Can't roll back Android version with a RUU. Stop giving out false information, it could lead to someone bricking their phone because of you.

OP. You need to first S-OFF with revolutionary. Then flash the downgrader from alpharev. Then flash either a RUU for your network provider, or the WWE RUU (however you need a goldcard if you want to use the WWE RUU as it de-brands your phone).
If you need help on how to use revolutionary, or flash the downgrader then look at my guide.
For revolutionary look at "S-OFF'ing problems" and for flashing the downgrader look at "flashing HBOOT/SPL"

I did a rollback with 2.2 RUU over alpharev stock hboot (locked) and all worked perfectly.
Never ment to cause problems to anybody just saying from my experience.
