[Q] Need help

First of all i wan't to apologise because there's probably a thread about this somewhere, but ill be honest i searched and googled a lot and only got more confused. I am really lost in the terminology and everything that is availbale on this forum so i'm just going to ask here and hope for a simple answer.
I have an unbranded unlocked HTC Desire, which i rooted to the Nexus One 2.2 froyo. Now i want to go back to stock 2.1 htc sense so i can update it to 2.2. I can't use the stock roms because htc sync doesn't recognize my phone. so im kinda lost and don't know what to do.
Is it possible to do it? and if it is possible, then can some one please explain in a simple step-by-step form how to do it.
Thank you in advance!

Im pretty sure you can just extract the rom.zip from an ruu and flash it from recovery

Hello,
first of all, before doing something wrong
screen AMOLED or SLCD?
HBoot ? to check the Hboot vol.down+power
U can downgrade to 2.1 (HBoot 0.80) using a SAPPIMG there´s a thread in the forum explaining how to do it, but first check your screen type first...
If it´s AMOLED like mine i can post the RUU i used to unroot the phone and get the Froyo2.2

it's AMOLED
hboot version 0.80.0000

Ok so was mine, so i runned this RUU:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
then did the OTA update

i have froyo 2.2 already on it.
will this take me back to the 2.1 htc sense?

just tried it, getting an error that the phone is not connected to the usb. and it obviously is

Why is it precisely that you wish to revert back to HTC 2.1 then to HTC 2.2 again?
You can currently flash HTC 2.2 ROMs directly, which have HTC sync working. They are different to the Google/AOSP FroYo ROMs on many accounts, most paramount with the addition of HTC Sense.

Thank you everyone for your help and use full comments. I ended up using the guide from the desire development forum, its under "[TUT]Complete upgrading guide(root, unroot, flashing ROM & updates)" sorry i cant post links yet. . It is very easy and noobie friendly.
I downgraded to the stock htc desire 2.1 and updated with the official 2.2.
Now i have 2 issues with it:
car mode enables itself every 10 mins or so even if i switch it off.
and some websites reload themselves in 10 or so seconds after loading them.
any ideas?
Thanks

Enter recovery, and do a wipe data, or factory reset, settings>sd and storage...

Go to this link and flash the custom PC10IMG by hot_hands in post #33 read the entire thread though, also do not flash a stock PC10IMG what ever you do, or you will be bricked for good. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912399

THANX for the quick reply,but how do i flash without a recovery like clockwork...?

I dont see a link?

Place the CUSTOM PC10IMG on the root of your sd card then power off or pull the battery then hold volume down + power on and it will find the file and flash it automaticlly. File must be named PC10IMG.zip

Currently downloading the zip...just reading the thread while waiting...Hope it works, Thank you for coming to a noods rescue

I was on my phone when I replied so i couldn't see your carrier info, this file was made for the Tmobile G2, I am not sure if it will work for the Desire Z. Did you see my note in my first reply.
For the Desire Z I believe they have the RUU's for whatever version you had running on your phone

It still worked...THANX A MILLION{",}

It'll work, but it will also flash the G2-specific engineering HBOOT as opposed to the Desire Z one. Not sure there will be any adverse effects, but in case you weren't aware, the Desire Z does have slightly different partitioning than the G2.

Hi everyone... i was using strawmetal's downgrade pdf guide and successfully managed to downgrade my htc desire z to froyo(earlier it was gingerbread)
it also shows hows to permanently root the htc desire z.. i followed the guide to the point and after checking the md5-3 matches md5-2.... i typed in # reboot
now instead of enjoying my freshly rooted htc desire z ... am stuck at the welcome screen...the white with the green htc...
i ve seen the forum n yes there are xplainations of how to go about saving ur phone...
my query is a lil different ...
see , we did everything correctly ..so am sure we shud be able to start the phone with out losing the permanent root and all the other hardwork... i also installed the recovery clockwork ....
somebody show me the way .....

try flashing rom of choice from recovery

First off, Visionary is known to fail frequently which is why it is not recommended to use.
That aside, try flashing a new recovery via fastboot as some versions of CWM are known to hang on the HTC screen.

[Q] Cant s-off and lag during sense3.0 weather live wallpaper

Hi, im running on htc desire amoled
pvt1 s-on
hboot 0.93.001
numerous problem have been encounter throughout my attempt to flash custom rom
1) i been trying to s-off using alpharev without success. alpharev reported my phone is not supported???
2) ;later on i try using s-on method to flash custom rom, its work, but only boot with my 2gb memory card and stuck on htc white screen if i use 8gb memory card.
3) trying using both rcmix rom and cool kingdom v7 rom, my weather live wallpaper is shuttering badly
will be appreciate alot if anyone able to solve my problem. thx

Flash an Oxygen rom first - any oxygen rom for the desire and the then use alpharev to s-off. I had the same problem when i was trying to s-off and someone reccomended that I flash an Oxygen rom first. It worked perfectly.
Live wallpaper will stutter/lag on the desire when using those roms.

thanks for the quick reply, and its WORKED !
now I'm S-offed,
will further explore the system now...
thx again

Glad I could help!
No that you're s-off, you may want to try android flasher, its a great little program - you can flash a new splash screen, bootanimation, radio, recovery or even change your hboot.

[Q] Wildfire S Stock Rom?

I have rooted my wildfire s and I deleted the sense 2.1 lock screen, ending up with the froyo lock screen which I do not like. I also want to unroot my device possibly. I tried a lot of times to install the sense 2.1 lock screen back into the system but it never works.
So, if I just revert back to the stock rom I will get it back and unroot my wildfire s. It doesn't matter to me weather it gets unroot or not. I'm just looking for the Wildfire S stock rom. I'm with Bell Canada btw. Thanks

G2 Desire Z Bootloader brick?

Hello all, I have a question and im slightly worried as i think i may have bricked my beloved G2.
I had Ice Cream JIBwich installed, and I wanted to install the Desire Z bootloader to get some HTC Sense roms on my phone to try them out.
I installed it following the directions of a video i watched, however my HBOOT still says VISION and i cant backup my ROM.
All I see is the HTC logo in green with a white background, and its not booting up.
Help please!

still have s-off? once you change your bootloader you must then flash a new rom
if recovery disappeared then you must use fastboot to flash a new one.
so long as you have s-off you can flash a new rom from fastboot too.

Vision is the code name for BOTH the g2 and dz, so it saying vision is a good thing.
It won't boot because the g2 and dz partitions are slightly different, so the phone is now looking in the wrong place to try boot the rom

reflash a rom
