Hi guys.Sry if i post wrong.I have a problem.I have a HTC DESIRE stock rom 2.3.3 rooted.The phone is S-OFF.So i wanted to unroot.The gingerbread ruu is installing but the phone is stil S-OFF.How can i get to froyo 2.2 stock rom?
I did understand that i need the stock bootloader then flash the stock 2.2 ruu.But i cant find this stock bootloader.
I am very very sorry.I done it.I got the s-on back.
If you want to unroot you need to do this.
1.Download from alpharev.nl the Bravo Stock(PB99IMG_stock - easy to install;only remove to PB99IMG and get in bootloader - volume down + power button) and the Bravo Downgrader (the PB99IMG_downgrade thing;you need to to the same to it.
You will get HBOOT 6.93.9999(i dont remember;it is the 9999 thing in the end) and S-OFF
2.Now download a stock RUU (android 2.3.3 in my case) and install it
3.Get in bootloader and you will now see 1.02.0001(in my case) and the hboot will be S-ON
I think you can install any RUU like 2.2.
Remember that sometimes(if the RUU is old) you will need to create a goldcard
Sorry for poor english,tutorial and the links(i am new here).This tutorial is not mine.All credits goes to "bortak".

YOU ARE Doing these well, if you flash ARev.HD later you can go back flashing an stok rom take this link for choose your OFFICIAL RUU...
http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
but i think that if you taste a cooked rom you are not going back to RUU OFFICIAL ROM hahahah
CERTAINLY.. have you made HBOOT S OFF ENG-SPL????(its fully reversible flashing an stok rom) and It makes possible to recover the system of a bad flash recovery...
sorry for my bad english
What I think SERGI.3210 is trying to say, is that you need ENG HBoot or ENG S-OFF before you can flash radios.
Here are the threads you should read,
ENG S-OFF
RADIO S-OFF
I did not flash (well, I dont think I did) hboot and i don't now how to do this either the tekst in bootloader says this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
How do I make HBOOT S OFF ENG-SPL and is their a way to check if I already have it?
And what does this do?

uups!!! thanks andyharney! i forgot to put that you need ENG S-OFF to flash radios!!
certainly... take this XDA´S LINK for go back to OFICIAL RUU:
http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
Use the ENG S-OFF tool in the first link to get ENG S-OFF. Without this you cannot flash radio.img's via fastboot.
Once you have ENG S-OFF use the other link to get Radio S-OFF. The tools are very easy to use and 99.9999999999999999% safe.
I took another look at the article i used to root and it said this:
you will have permanent root (S-OFF), as well as subsidy unlock and SuperCID. At this point, you can also choose to flash the engineering hboot
If you don't want the engineering hboot, just reboot your phone. You can verify you have permanent root by holding volume down while powering on (you'll see S-OFF in the first line of the bootloader). You are now free to install a new recovery and start flashing custom ROMs. If you don't want to flash a new ROM, it's safe to uninstall the Visionary app at this point.
Does this mean i already have radio S-OFF?
Hi everybody.
I have not found any topic or tutorial helping me solve this issue.
I rooted my desire yesterday. Here is what I have done :
1/ RUU --> Original FroYo
2/ AlpharevX --> Original FroYo S-OFF
3/ Unrevoked --> Original FroYo S-OFF + rooted
4/ CyanogenMod 7 --> CM7 S-OFF + rooted rom.
Now, I want to unroot my desire and go back to the original rom AND hboot (I'm stuck to alpharev hboot). How can I do this ?
And btw, is there a solution to replace the AlpharevX hboot with CM7 hboot without bricking the phone in my situation ?
Thanks by advance :]

You will need to go back to the stock HBOOT, to remove the cm7 r2 HBOOT you will need to flash the downgrade .zip found on Alpharevs site, also the stock HBOOT can be found there.
Run the downgrade .zip file in recovery then flash the stock HBOOT the same way that you flashed the cm7 HBOOT.
Download a RRU, there is a list with downloads in the desire dev forums, also it tells you how to run the RRU. That will unroot and s-on your phone back to how it was when you took it out of the box.

Thank you very much for your quick answer. Unfortunately, it does not help me a lot, since I do NOT have the CM7 hboot !
I DO have the AlpharevX hboot, but I WANT the CM7 hboot.
I need a solution that could help me go back to the original HTC hboot (the RUU solution isn't working, I am stuck to the AlpharevX hboot) and the original HTC Sense unrooted rom.
After that, I will be able to flash both CM7 and CM7 hboot properly by following the existing tutorials.
Btw, if someone knows a solution that won't brick my Desire and that will enable me to get CM7 and CM7 hboot in my situation (AlpharevX hboot + CM7), it would be much appreciated.
Was I clear enough ?
Thanks by advance
Now on your phone, goto settings>about phone>software then look for your baseband version and build version. Use that information to find your RUU file here:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/ and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Download .zip RUU file
I used PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_r elease_159811_signed.zip
move it to the sd card, rename it PB99IMG.zip and flash it in bootloader
also "RUU rom will erase your root, s-off, apps, contacts, sms messages, and call history. The RUU will not touch anything you have saved to your sdcard such as music, photos, or videos."
hope it helps
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'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.

Did you do that with a CDMA Desire? I don't see that listed the the devices supported list.

[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.

Hello, i have unlocked my phone with htc official tool, and it have installed a 1.03.0003 hboot. Now I want to flash a custom rom. But it is possible to "undo" all and go back to a 0.93 hboot for flashing (example) cm7 based roms?
Thanks
NO...i think....
Apparently it is possible to gain root access, but about changing hboot I'm not so sure if revolutionary team would bother with it. In summary - fail.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
in fact, i am now able only to install stock hboot custom roms, like ics beta.. revolutionary tool works only with 1.02 hboot, at the moment.. I have tried goldcard, flash old hboot with fastboot, but nothing.. Hope someone will be able to "delete" this hboot...
