[Q] Restoring/Unrooting back to 2.1 Stock.

Hi.
I'm selling my Desire so I need to restore it back to stock 2.1.
I followed this guide and when I clicked "upgrade" it came back with error "[155]: Unknown Error"
My phone is unbranded, bought sim free. It is running a custom 2.2 rom at the moment. Bootloader is 0.75.
Could someone advise on how I would go about doing this?
Thanks.

this guide help me to restore my phone

Did you read what I wrote?
I said I followed that and after running the HTC RUU and following the steps I eventually get an error and it doesn't go any further.

Which RUU are you trying to flash with?

The one that was linked to in the guide. "Unroot-RUU-Disire-1.15.405.4"

Ok, I wouldn't bother with that. Try this RUU instead:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
Since your phone is unbranded you won't need a goldcard.

Hi,
I tired that and I'm still getting the same error.

Are you on Windows 7 64bit? That causes problems with running RUUs for a lot of people.
That RUU itself should otherwise work fine.

Yes, I'm running Windows 7 x64. =/
Is there anyway of getting around this issue? Withouth installing another OS of course.
Thanks.

Yeah. If you have an AMOLED screen you can flash another way.
Download this file:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip
Rename it to PB99IMG.zip (ensure the extension is not .zip.zip) and put it at the top level of your sdcard. Start the phone up in hboot mode (vol down + power), wait for it to find the file and then say yes to the flash prompt.
Don't do this on an SLCD phone or it'll break the display.

i have unrooted many times using w7 x64. i just follow the guide with wwe

Thanks I'll give that a shot!
How can I tell which screen I have? I got my Desire back in April if that's any help.
Thanks again.

Anything before July is always an AMOLED screen, so you're ok.
As long as you didn't upgrade to stock froyo that file should flash the phone fine as it doesn't require any communication with a computer.

Much love. <3
Worked a treat.
Now running 2.1-update1. I'll leave that as it is so the buyer can choose to upgrade to OTA 2.2 or root it.
Thanks again <3

Desire Z perma rooted - how to unroot?

Hello,
I have a HTC Desire Z with perma root, S-off and Clockwork recovery, however I'd like to update to the latest official rom of Gingerbread. I assume to do this that I have to remove my root, S-off and recovery, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how?
I read that I'm not supposed to flash certain files with S-off or I'll get a bootloop, so could somebody advise me what to do?
This is my specs:

You've posted in the wrong forum - you need to post in Questions, ideally.
Just installing the official update via RUU (there are guides, search the forum) will put your phone back to stock - but you won't be able to undo the changes without a LOT of work. Why do you even want to do it?
You'd be better finding a modified and rooted version of the latest stock f/w, surely?

Sorry, I Wasn't paying attention to what forum I posted it in.
Could you recommend me a rom that's closest to the latest stock as possible?

This is the most stock you can get with a sense ROM

Thanks, one final question.
Do I need Clockwork Recovery 3.x? I'm on 2.6.x right now and I know that in 3.x they needed new partitions, I assume I'll need to update?

Latest is 5.0.2 but you can just install it through rom manager. to be able to flash GB roms you'll need a recovery higher as 3.x though since this is the one that can change partitions to ext4

just wondering, do you want it stock for the rom or for warranty purposes?

The reason I wanted stock was because I never use root and I didn't want to mess up my phone.
One final final question:
Will my 2.2 Nandroid dumps work on recovery 5.*?

Can I upgrade to JellyBean via OTA?

Hey there
I have been facing this problem, or more like wondering about it for a while now.
I upgraded my HBOOT to 1.31 and I had ARHD15 and then Viper X installed. Then the official Jelly Bean OTA update started rolling out to HTC devices and I was excited, so I decided I want to go back to the latest stock ROM so I can receive it when I tap "Check for Updates" under "Software Updates". I tried to use a stock RUU but of course that failed since my "get-var" thing says that I have a newer version than the latest one. Mine is 3+ while the latest one is 2+ if that makes any sense. I looked through all the stock RUUs but there wasn't any compatible one.
So I decided I should find another way to install the stock ICS ROM and I did. I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
Anyway, I installed it, rooted the device, and then flashed the stock recovery so I would prepare my device for the OTA update.
I have a:
CID: HTC__J15
Region: .401 (WWE I believe)
This is the latest RUU I found:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.12_Radio_2.1204.127.19_release_271851_signed.exe
However, mine is 3.27.401 if I remember correctly, therefore I cannot install the above one.
So anyway, is my device ready to receive the OTA update now or am I just fooling myself since I didn't go back to stock using the stock RUU?

Any help or information is really appreciated as I have been squeezing my brain about this for a while now and it's getting frustrating and I honestly feel stupid.
Thank you

Since you updated hboot you can't use the latest RUU (2.17.401.2).
I'm not sure Mikes stock ROM will allow you to install the OTA, you might have better luck if you restore a 2.17.401.2 backup, there's a thread for that.

Thanks for your reply. You mean I can restore using a NANDROID backup that I download from the internet, for instance? I am assuming that is flashed through CWM recovery, correct? Would you please link me to the correct thread if it's not too much to ask? I'll be searching for it in the mean time.
Thanks a lot.

Yes

It was about the third thread in general section.

Thank you so much, but unfortunately my CID (HTC_J15) is one of the missing CIDs. I guess I am unlucky.

The CID has little to do with the backup, you just need a backup for 2.17.401.2, which is there.

Well, since CID has little to do with it, would it be possible to flash 3.14.401.27 if I have 1.31 HBOOT?

You still need the right CID to flash the OTA as it checks so you have to be on one of the ones that have had JB so far...

Oh.. well then I suppose I cannot flash the JB Nandroid since my CID J_15 did not officially receive JB yet. I hate you, HTC!!! lol

Getting 5.x Lollipop Update on Rooted HTC ON M8 International

Hi all
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I cannot find any information on this for the life of me and it's driving me mad.
I have a notification stating that my 5.0 OTA update is ready but I can't install it due to the Custom Recovery on my device.
I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376) and flashed the 'stock' (not actually Stock - every link it CWM or TWRP) recovery but it didn't work and the update still fails. I think I read somewhere that something is different about this particular update.. that you need to have an 'untouched'/never rooted device?
Plllleeeeeeeeeeeeeease can someone steer me in the right direction so I can get this update sorted?
Thanks in advance.

have you made any system modifications to your current rom?
Also need CID and firmware version number
ALSO needs to be in Q&A (asked the mods to move)

Thanks for that.

ok so you have clean 3.29.401.9 stock rom installed, if not restore the nand available in my thread via TWRP. (may be best to do this as a fresh start)
Next install the 3.28.401.9 stock recovery.img from the first post in my thread.
hoprfully then u should be able to tale OTA automatically

every link is CWM or TWRP are stock Nandroid backup, not recovery.img
Look under Stock Recovery Images for the stock recovery

Thanks for your help, that seems to have done it.
The first time I didn't pay enough attention to my correct Software number (in my case 3.28.401.9). When I matched up my CID (HTC_001) I just picked a random link on that list which is why it didn't work.
Got it going now and back on custom recovery so thanks again for your assistance

Upgrade from old version of PureFusion?

Hi there, everyone.
I have a big or small problem. I want to be able to flash the newest Lineage or pixel experience, but I'm not sure how to upgrade the firmware. Below, you can see the version of PureFusion. I searched the forums and it sees that i need to upgrade the firmware first as i'm on the old nougat one.
The problem comes now, my phone is UNLOCKED, but S-ON and the CID is HTC_034 Europe. I'm not sure what method to use to upgrade the firmware, as it's a bit vague. For some CID you can't find the files, or other stuff. Can someone help me with some information in this case?

Totally wrong, the current purefusion rom has nothing to do with upgrading your firmware. You need to enter download mode, look at your OS number and search for the ruu that matches that number. Flash it, update and flash TWRP, than the desired rom. Whatever purefusion is showing is not what you need
