[Q] Orange Desire Unroot help - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I am selling my trusty desire now, it has served me well but its time has come...
If anyone would like to buy it off me, they are welcome to, message me, I'm looking for 110.
I am struggling a lot to get started on the unrooting process. I've been reading through posts, topics, on here and modaco and I'm getting more and more confused
Here are the facts.
Its a limited edition black version released by orange. It was locked. Unrooted using unrEVOked method.
Its currently on Oxygen.
BaseBand Version states 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
HBOOT is cm7r2
HBOOT version says its 6.93.1002
I tried to follow this but the nand link is dead.
I don't have the original backup I made, I must have deleted it somewhere down the line... silly me
I want to revert it to a stock GBB rom, no bloatware, and unlocked. I have the unlock code for my phone, but is it possible to revert it to a stock version?
I looked at this list to find the correct RUU, which one do I use?
Please, somebody help me out here! I have no clue what to do!
Sorry about all this...

First make sure to flash the bravo_stock bootloader, then the downgrader.
You need to make a goldcard and flash the WWE RUU, because Orange didn't release any.

I tried the FroYo RUU first, used the process in your thread that is stickied at the top of this forum (the rom.zip extraction) but that just stuck on the splash screen. So I went on the HTC Dev site and used the same method to extract the Gingerbread update and that worked no probs. Thank you so much for your help!

[Q]Orange UK 2.2 Froyo ROM[Q]

Couldn't really find anything about this, but I have a problem and I appreciate all help, thanks.
I really really need to install the Orange RRU on my HTC Desire HD as it's being returned to Orange, but because it's my second handset I have returned to them they are going to inspect it for any 'software modifications' (they didn't say that, but its obvious) and I really need a flash back to it. I have debranded my device at the moment, but I am not rooted, all help is greatly thanked.
Follow the link in my Sig and go to RUUs you find the latest Orange ROM there. FYI I got my DHD from Orange the first week it was launched, it was supplied unlocked & unbranded.

Right, I have that downloading now, just to double check, I have Software Version 1.32.405.6, will I still be able to flash this RRU, as I know sometimes there are problems if the Software version is newer than the RRU is flashing onto the phone.
Yeah you should be fine, going from stock 1.32 to Orange 1.84.

Which RUU i Need??

Plz solve my problem
i have unrooted Desire purchased from my UK friend

my phone has no apps of Vodafone even normal HTC quietly brilliant Boot animation
but last time when i updated it showed OTA update of
RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27....
when it was on 2.1 eclair there was Vodafone theme ( menu<Scene<HTc Scen
This means my phone Is Branded???
is there is any other way to check that my phone is branded or not??
Does i have to make a gold card??
Which RUU i needed so that when some thing happen wrong during Installing Custom Rom i can revert back to original Rom???
To check if your phone is branded:
Get android system info from market. Start it>system>build infos>brand.
Yes, you can go back to original rom. Just flash latest fitting ruu. You need a goldcard to avoid cid error when flashing ruu.
Swyped from Oxygen
Thanks for helping bro.
Downloaded Android sysyem info in
Brand it says "Vodafone_uk"
For Current Rom which RUU should i use Can u link here ???
how can i install WWE (world wide...)

signed.exe version of Rom so that i get latest GB update by HTC in future
any procedure to do this???
First create goldcard:

Thank you very much.
I will give it a go after i download everything i need and finish going trough the tutorial at least 2 times ( and hope for the best ).

I think i must update my knowledge about phones as i am a little behind (ok. i admit it... a lot behind).
And a small thing. unrevoked3 does the rooting and S-OFF so in the tutorial here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
2 steps are kinda outdated (at least that's what i understand reading the QA from

[Q]Stuck in errorscreen/Bootloader after unroot

Hi.
My Device:
HTC Desire PVT4 SLCD rooted, s-off
since my homebutton doesnt work anymore i wanted to make use of my warranty and send in the device. Problem is: it was t-mobile branded, so i had to s-off the device and use those custom installations (with the slcd installer and the OTA update i had to rename to update.zip. got the tutorial from a german site whose admin is known for helping with desire problems and stuff)
i follwed the instructions 1:1 but it somehow didnt work properly
Problem: My device is stuck on a certain screen and wont boot anything anymore.
The screen: HTC logo in the middle, triangles with ! in every corner
absolutely no reaction to any keypresses, the only thing that produces some kind of reaction is plugging and unplugging the usb cable, which gives me a screen similar to the bootloader screen that says:
--- AlphaRev ---

RUU (the only "usable" option, though i cant use it. its in orange)
What do i do now?
My device is, as stated above a german t-mobile device.
ive googled for hours now but dont find anything particular (especially since there are so many different desires out there today and t-mobile doesnt seem to like people to get a hand on their newe RUUs, or do they?)
i found the austrian RUU on t-mobile.at though i read on some german sites that this wont work on my device (maybe brick it even more?)
on shipped-roms.com there is a UK t-mob RUU, though i dont know whether this is 2.2 (since 2.1 doesnt have SLCD drivers) so im not sure whether to flash this one either
Can i even use a RUU at this point?
if you need any information i maybe forgot, tell me and ill try to find out
thanks in advance

I think it is an UK ROM, so no German/Austrian one.
I found an thread in a German forum and they have linked an Austrian t-mobile RUU for Desire SLCD: http://www.t-mobile.at/servicedownloads4you/webnwalkmanager/HTC_Desire_Froyo_Update_RUU.zip
You need to unzip the file, don't flash the ZIP on your Desire!

thx a lot, someone on the german forums wrote something about the austrian rom not being compatible with german desires, so i flashed aforementioned UK RUU and it worked

Jerrol, here is a complete guide how to unroot the Desire:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268
It's easier than it seems ...
Short: After you flashed the stock Desire hboot (see here: http://alpharev.nl/) you can run the RUU via PC.
But don't try to install the RUU.zip via recovery. Just unzip it an run the .exe.

Are you on the Bravo Stock Hboot already? If not, I suggest to flash Bravo Stock Hboot via fastbot not via PB99IMG - it is just saver.
Anyway, following the guide to unroot your Desire should be the best way to succeed

Hi.
You don't need to flash any HBOOTS or HBOOT donwngrader. Since you are S-ON you can't even do this, so exclude it from your steps and continue.
It can be a conflict with your HBOOT version if the RUU you are trying to run is too old and has a smaller HBOOT version (e.g. 0.80), and it won't install properly.
I always recommend to use the latest RUU available WWE 2.29.405.5, but this is at your discretion to choose. Also make sure your phone wasn't branded, or you'll going to need a Gold Card to install the RUU.

You need a Goldcard, yes. You have a branded phone. Only unbranded don't need it.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 Post 2 point 4 ff.:
4. Do I need a Goldcard?
If you have a recent version of the RUU for your Device, available on Shipped Roms, you dont need a goldcard. This is the usual scenario for people who purchased their Desire in Europe, and so have an unbranded Desire. All Branded Desires need a correct branded version of the RUU, and any other RUU including WWE (Worldwide English, or European) RUU will not work for them. Also if an unbranded Desire user wishes to change RUU to a branded version, he will need a Goldcard. This is because all Desires have a particular software tag in the Rom, called the InfoCID. This dictates the Region code. For Eg. An Indian Desire is branded and has InfoCID of HTC__038. When you change a RUU to different region, what you actually do is reset the InfoCID setting. Changing the InfoCID setting requires a Goldcard.
5. What is a Goldcard?
It is a normal MicroUSB card specially prepared in such a way that its Sector 0 (which normally doesnt hold anything useful) is modified, so that it signals to the HTC RUU that the InfoCID may be changed.
6. How do I create a Goldcard?
Just download this tool (Credits and All Rights by [email protected]), and run it.
7. Can you tell me more about Goldcards?
Sure. I've already posted it for you. Read the FAQs in this thread.

Hi you should make sure that the version ain't lower than what you have on your phone ( the version is 2.12.110.4 ), or, as I said, there will be a HBOOT conflict (if the HBOOT is lower).
Anyway I think you can give it a try without the Gold Card, since this is T-Mobile RUU, it should work, although it is recommended you make a gold card. There are lot's of threads on how to do this even without the phone.
Nothing bad will happen, besides the fact that it won't work and give you an error.

[Q] HTC Desire Stock ROM Type?

Good Day to you all
I really can't find the answer to this, so here goes:
I have a HTC Desire with HTC Sense (GSM Version), and i would like to root the phone and install the Cyanogenmod 7 ROM; but here is the thing i am unsure which stock rom to download as none seem to match mine:
Baseband Version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Build Number: 2.14.207.3
The closest ROM i have found is this: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release.
But if I install the above ROM if something goes wrong will it brick my phone? And if so were can I download a stock ROM that would be suitable for my phone?
I have searched for ages attempting to find a suitable ROM but have been unsuccessful.
Your help would greatly be appreciated.
Many, Many Thanks
Tor Fey
When you have an unbranded device, you can flash the named ruu. When you a branded device, you have two options:
- create goldcard and flash ruu
- flash the ruu from your provider

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
The problem is there does not seem to be a rru from my provider? i am with O2 Manx Telecom, this is why i would like to know if the rru i have found will do as stock?
The only ruu for o2 for froyo I could find is this one:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
But this one is older than your current version. So create goldcard with goldcardtool (google for it) and flash stock ruu.
As long as you did not apply the gingerbread ruu, flashing a ruu won't brick your phone.
Thanks very much Man
I will give it a go tonight.

[Q] Back to stock

Hi,
after i have bought my new HTC One mini 2 i would like to go with my Desire back to the beginning.
I searched here and also on other sites for the best and simplest way. Most sites say to use the RUU.exe but i couldn't find it here http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads.
But than i found this post here on XDA that tells me not to use RUUs.
So what is the best way for me??
I want the stock ROM with no tweaks no a2sd, just the way it was when i bought it. I don't care weather there is root/s-off or not. I wanted to use my nandroid backup but it was made with an other Recovery and i don't know how to get back to it.
So in the best case i have my desire just the way it was after i rooted it. (with the stock rom from HTC but with recovery and root permission

Hi,
after i have bought my new HTC One mini 2 i would like to go with my Desire back to the beginning.
I searched here and also on other sites for the best and simplest way. Most sites say to use the RUU.exe but i couldn't find it here http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads.

To get complete stock then u need to use an ruu. So if ur s-on, relock ur bootloader
fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu.
S-off, then make sure ur on stock hboot then flash the Alpharev downgrade.img then run the ruu. To get the correct ruu, google "shipped roms" then find ur device (bravo).
Or if u want it stock but rooted then look at development thread for stock roms and flash it in recovery.
If u want to restore ur old nandroid then id say u cant because u made the nandroid with different recovery. So im guessing that ur using 4ext recovery now? And im guessing when u rooted for the first time u used CWM recovery? So if thats the case, flash CWM recovery then restore nandroid.

Your descriptions are conflicting.
If you want it the way you bought it (fully stock, S-ON etc), then RUU is the proper, easiest way.
If you restore any kind of nandroid backup, then it will be rooted with whatever A2SD it had at the time, i.e. this is the way you bought it...

I thought these commands only work on Nexus devices? I've never needed to use them on the Desire anyway.
Even if the desire is S-ON, the 2.3.3 GB RUU should run without issue.
@HandyBesitzer
There's a whole troubleshooting guide stickied the top of Q&A dedicated to all of this. Follow it to the letter for your particular situation. Find and flash the 2.3.3 GB RUU
I always thought that when ur htc dev unlocked bootloader, then u need to relock the bootloader. I always had s-off so never tried it with the desire but with s-on with htc desire s and sensation u need to relock the bootloader first or ruu wont run, just thought it would be the same with the desire.

Guess so, depends on how / if OP unlocked the bootloader
- If it's dev unlocked, then those commands will likely apply then
- If he's S-ON, he could still have rooted with original unrevoked method for instance. I don't believe those fastboot commands wouldn't apply, RUU would work straight over the top
- If it's revoluationary / alpharev S-OFF, downgrader instructions as you said

Forgot bout the old unrevoked method
Black screen
Hi, I have a Desire. I used Alpharev to get S-On to install a RUU. The RUU has been installed, when it restarted the screen remained black. The phone starts,the buttons are lighted but the screen is black.
It seems to be a software problem.
Can anyone help me?

You flashed the wrong RUU
You flashed an SLCD RUU which is meant for an AMOLED device, or the other way around. In other words, it's incompatible with your screen type, which is why your screen remains black.
Look at bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, it covers this. You will need to use the 2.3.3 GB RUU as outlined above.

wasn't 2.2.2 the latest Version for Desire??
first to clear what i did to get the s-off, root,...
I used unrevoke to get s-off, so HTC does not know what i did to my phone
I also installed a new hboot a while ago, but i think i went back to the old. SO do i need the downgrade there??
About my first recovery it was Amonra, because cwm did not work for me first. Now i have the 4ext. It's simply the best
Also it is possible i updated my radio i don't know but i think i did it. Is that a problem??
I'm in my fastboot now and see this:
--- AlphaRev ---
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
Microp-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
http://alpharev.nl/
Do i download bravo_stock or bravo_downgrade??

So the RUU flashed successfully, it boots into the stock ROM, but you can't navigate the screen? Do the hardware buttons work? Does it react at all?
Still recommend to use the 2.3.3 GB RUU. Even guy above with one post managed to follow the given instructions first time, find it and flash it successfully

No, neither of those. I believe those are Froyo RUUs...try / start here instead
Forget about the radio, should flash with the RUU.
Are you actually following the instructions here and the troubleshooting guide as advised to flash the RUU...?
Thanks for the link. But the download does not start for me. I only get the License and i cannot confirme it.
About the trouble shotting. it starts with problems when the smartphone has this black screen with !, but i even did not get this screen. I'll read the whole thread here again, and try to get the download working.
The disclaimer tell me that i cannot send sms or mms and you recomment this version to me????

Try another browser.
Or try other links in the rest of the internet, it's a big place. That's not the only place to download it from.

The troubleshooting thread does not start with black screen problems.
The whole thread goes through every possibility, you find the one which applies to your situation.
The black screen is not your situation, so read the rest of the thread...

No, the disclaimer says you may not be able to send sms or mms....nowhere does it say cannot....It is just a terms and conditions disclaimer, that's it, so you can't sue HTC in the small chance that some things don't work...
I recommend it every time yes, as I have recommended it 100s of times here...just like to the guy above. It worked straight away. Evidence right here in this very thread, and has worked virutally every time for many other people if you look in Q&A...somewhere you are not looking hard enough, and / or not following instructions.
