Just download the RUU from HTCdev.com and run the .exe file from your computer. It will reflash everything (bootloader, recovery, radio etc.). And if you had flashed a custom hboot, download bootloader downgrader from Alpharev and flash that before the RUU.

I'd be careful with the RUU. I did this once and have an SLCD screen. The drivers were not included in the RUU for the screen. I used a T-Mobile one. I had to apply an update with no screen. It was a scary time.

If I'm not wrong those are the AMOLED versions of the RUU. The 2.3 RUU is compatible for both AMOLED and SLCD desires

Okay here is the situation. I'm trying to root a HTC Desire using unrevoked on my laptop that I've used to successfully rooted another desire in the past. It get so far into the sequence then it says "error getting root, is your software too new"
The phone is a 'new' generic replacement from t-mobile but is showing as being s-off even though it hasn't been touched!?!?
Can any please give me advice on what to try next?
Desires spec:
Hboot
0.93
S-off ??
Software
2.2
Baseband
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Build number
2.29.405.5

Try flashing a recovery via fastboot.
If it works you should be s-off. Was it s-off before you touched it?

I can see this thread may get a lot of views if your phone came from the factory s-off

I had this problem trying to change the recovery program from clockwork to RA 2.0on my rooted desire. I was using unrevoke to flash the RA 2.0 recovery image file. I had to roll back from 2.3.3 to 2.2 and do a factory reset. As you are on 2.2 all you can try is the reset option.
Being already rooted wasn't the problem and if you Google your error message will find known issues with unrevoked.
Hope this helps.

Yes it was s-off before I touched anything.
I've been reading this thread from the stickies though.

I had the same problem with my phone.
Start with a downgrade to original 2.1 and then run unrevoked and then alfarev to s-off,
I followed a very nice video guide i found on the development forum,
It was the only thing that worked for me.
Hope it works for you to.

The mention of S-OFF on that thread just means that it can be done. Not that every PVT4 model has S-OFF out the box. Seems like you might be lucky in that you have factory S-OFF. I take it it doesn't have the pink AlphaRev banner at the top above where it says S-OFF?

Correct it doesn't have the pink AlphaRev banner yet it still says s-off.
Still can't root it thought.

i got a t-mobile branded desire that was s-off from factory, i had problems using unrevoked on my pc, tried it on a friends and it worked fine
try a different pc and make sure you have the drivers installed and htc sync uninstalled
if you have an eng hboot you can try fastboot flashing the recovery then using the recovery to flash a rooted rom
failing that you can try the old fake flash method of having cwm as an update.zip
booting to recovery the flashing the update.zip which will take you to cwm
it doesnt actually install a new recovery as its fake flash
does the device look slightly different? like brushed aluminium?
i had one of these old s-off eng devices to play with last year.
Hi!
I am developing a ROM (port from HTC MyTouch 4g) for HTC desire. Now i want to set up the ROM for the stock HBOOT and cm7 r2, but i have no ideas, how to do that.
Can you help me?
How big is the rom firstly?
the folder is 317.0 mb and the .zip 243.4 mb
Forget the CM7 hboot initially. Concentrate on getting it to fit in stock.
This thread is a good start for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992176
so it isn't possible to run my rom under cm7/h2, just under stock hboot?

It is possible. But it will require a lot more stuff to be placed on the sd-ext partition. However, you should start by attempting to fit it into stock hboot and see if it works well before deciding to fit into another hboot.

thank you... i will try it first for stock hboot

RUU = rom upgrade utility is a program who can restore/upgrade your RUU. And HBOOT is the same as POST in windows.

HTC Sense 2.3 and forgot to change your hboot?
Which ROM are you actually use?
Did you install official 2.3 HTC Sense ROM using RUU after trying to install some ROMs? I think yes, because your Desire is S-ON. Did you change hboot to downgrade before you run RUU?

Currently using MIUI 2.3.7, so I didnt install official HTC Sense. No downgrade of Hboot - which version should I need? I can normally flash all 2.3.7 ROMs (CM7, MIUI,AOPK..)

So... I do not know why your Desire is S-ON (as I wrote in my previous post) and I think this is the reason. You should S-OFF your phone, I think... ;P

His phone has unlocked bootloader from htcdev, so he's still s-on.
Almost all of these roms require a sd-ext partition on sd-card and you didn't wrote anything about having it. Plus for that kind of stuff working properly I think that you need s-off, so jump to downgrading of hboot and running Revolutionary tool.

Hi, so I made:
1) downgrade Hboot --> s-off
2) new sd-ext partition on sd-card (1Gb / 0swap)
it works
thx
Had some great times with my HTC Desire, but the phone is slowly dieing on me. It's running a custom ROM and is S-OFF so shows a 'why so serious' splash screen. How do I get it back to the original 2.2/2.3 ROM without the Joker coming up on the screen? Somebody is buying it off me tomorrow and they have no interest in custom ROMing
Flash the 2.3 ruu.
It will return to stock ROM(unrooted), and s-on.

If he changed hboot flashing downgrader is also necessary or after flashing RUU he will stay S-OFF.
