To flash a ruu is important to know if you are S-ON or S-OFF. You will find that information in the hboot screen (boot pressing volume down + power) at the top left corner.

Recovery tool is not used to flash RUU and neither is recovery. The only important thing to flash a ruu is to find if he can only flash the official ruu for his carrier or he can flash an unbranded one.

do you mean hboot? if u can get to install update.zip try this http://www.kennynet.co.uk/2010/06/24/extract-rom-zip-from-ruu-in-linux/ or unrooting using the rru on shipped roms
I Agree on that , you can use to Revert Back to Original Factory Firmware via the RUU Packages , http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/ , Find a Suitable one

Thanks for your replies!
This wildfire was not mine but the owner send it to rma...
The same thing has just happened to my desire!
Just flashed the recovery and all is ok.
The problem on the wildfire is that i didn't found any "standalone" recovery image,and the ruu wouldn't execute because of a connectivity problem.
I think the owner missed someting and didn't put his wildfire into fastboot to flash th ruu...
Best regards!
Still stuck in hboot after flashing with shiped rom...
plz help.......
Are you s-on or s-off?

Hboot and Debranding Desire HD on Orange UK

I have searched enough and only method comes up to check hboot is apparently holding down volume down button and switching HDH on.
I've tried it on my orange branded desire HD but it just shown a flashy wall paper and then orange logo appears.
My software version is 1.40.61.2 and all I want to do it get rid of orange crap from it and use a generic htc software.
Could someone please help me in simple words?
How to check HBoot and what should I do to install generic software?
Thanks a lot in advance.

The reason why you didn't get to bootloader menu was because fastboot was enabled. Next time, take out your battery, replace it, then try and go into bootloader. It should work.
To flash a generic HTC ROM you will need to get root, Radio S-OFF and of course the actual Generic HTC ROM file.
Follow the instructions from this thread to Root + Radio S-OFF your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Once complete, and you have S-OFF enabled in bootloader you can proceed to flash the generic HTC ROM. The link below contains the HTC WWE 1.32.405.6 RUU:
http://www.xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/R....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe
Once you flash the above HTC RUU, you will lose root but you will still have Radio S-OFF which means you can still flash any ROM you like.
You can also flash a custom ROM instead of the generic HTC RUU after you have Radio S-OFF

Got it sorted with S-OFF thingie.......thanks for helping me.
Just a few more questions as you seem like quite knowledgeable.
1) I am downloading generic file, would that complete wipe my phone and settings?
2) Would I be able to upgrade OTA if a future release comes from HTC?
3) Loosing root means I wont be able to use those applications which require root access....even with VISIONary?
4) How do I flash the rom? Do I need a goldcard for that? As mine is a branded orange handset.
Thanks a lot.

1) Yes, it is a generic HTC unbranded ROM. It will wipe your settings, as will any ROM you flash.
2) I think so, as long as you stick with the official generic HTC roms. If not, you can download the OTA update from here and apply it manually via ClockworkMod Recovery, which is safer as it will stop it overwriting the HBOOT and Custom Recovery (which is what the last update did)
3) Losing root access means you can't use applications that require root access. However, Visonary is used to get root from being in a state of no-root. Once you run Visonary, it will do its exploit and make the system root for you. This doesn't work on 1.72/1.75 ROMs, however the ROM link I have given you is a rootable ROM.
4) With S-OFF, you do not need a Goldcard. For the Official ROMs (like the link I gave you) follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
For custom ROMs, you will need to install ClockworkMod recovery and from there flash the ROMs. To get ClockworkMod recovery, first make sure your current ROM is rooted, then download 'ROM Manager' from the Android Market, then run the application and tap 'Flash ClockworkMod recovery'. To boot into clockworkmod recovery, take out the battery, replace it, go into bootloader, then choose 'Recovery'.
Also thought you would like to know how to get back to stock Orange UK ROM for warranty reasons.
1) Do Radio S-ON and restore your CID (using the same tool you used to get Radio S-OFF)
2) Download this Orange UK 1.40.61.2 ROM: http://www.xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/R....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_157531_signed.exe
3) Install that ROM using the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
Great...you are a God send mate. I have searched so much and now finally I can flash my HDH.
Flashing with HTC unbranded rom, would I loose S-OFF???

Hey, no problem
If you have Radio S-OFF, it will stay Radio S-OFF unless you manually turn it to Radio S-ON using the program.
Flashing anything will not affect it. So you are good to flash the HTC ROM
Just to let other guys know.....I have followed the steps as prank1 has suggested and now I have a stock HTC rom without any of the orange crap on it. All orange logos, icons and softwares have disappeared.
I have unlocked phone with S-OFF and I am sure now I can flash with custom roms as well which would be my next try.
Thanks once again.
HELP! i think i've bricked my phone. lemme first tell you guys what i've gone and done.
have a orange branded desire hd which i temp rooted with visionary. then i used titanium backup to force stop the preloaded apps which were slowing up my phone. i think i made a mistake and might have first deleted one of the pre installed apps...
neways.. got a notification for a sytem update and accidently installed it...
when the phone rebooted and was installed the update it stopped and now all i have is an image of the phone on the screen with a red triangle. it's been 10 minutes and it's not doing nething.
what have i done... and how do i undo it
PLEASE HELP
I did exactly the same thing and now it wont update, I reported it to HTC but theyve advised me that its 'with the developer' which to be honest suggests that I will never get a reply beyond the ticket number they gave me. Cant believe moving bloody Uno of my phone would cause such a hassle
Hi guys! I need your help to tell me if I understand correctly..

What are correct steps I need to follow?
1. Follow the instructions from this thread to Root + Radio S-OFF your device:

What kind of RUU did you flash?! That things pre-historic. Go on my guide, find the 2.3 RUU from
Resources and flash that.
I try that RUU because I want to downgrade my hboot version in order to root the phone with revolutionary.
I'm new in this stuff.
I'm downloading RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release but I think that this RUU will not work.
I will keep you posted
Thanks
I tried to install RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed and doen't work. It says that there is no phone connected.
I need your help. I don't want an expensive dead HTC
I have also tried this RUU RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread) but doesn't work either. "ERROR[170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR"
Look on my guide. Extract the rom.zip, rename to PB99IMG.zip, put on root of sd-card, boot into hboot, select update.
And before you ask me how to do it look on my guide.
It works
Thanks a lot
Now i have a ALphaRev bootloader
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
Do you know any tutorial on how to root and install a ROM?
I've tried several but nothing works
Thanks

With S-OFF you don't need root to start flashing.
Look on my guide on how to flash recovery, then backup your current ROM, full wipe, and flash a new one.
Alternatively (much easier), just install this app and it flashes recovery for you, then backup, wipe and flash a ROM.
Same problem

Use your other android phone for the goldcard. Then flash the 2.2 WWE RUU. If that fails, use the 2.3 one.
Thanx bortak, i'll try..
Bortak, why adb still cant find my device? for Fastboot it's ok...
I'm preety sure you won't be able to do what you're up to with Alpharev cause you have 0.93 hboot, you need revolutionary for that.
But, if you use 2.2 RUU it can happen to downgrade hboot to 0.88 so then you can try with Alpharev.

Alpharev is ok with 0.93(mine was 0.93 and 2.29.405.5) but it is obsolete and requires stock rooted ROM (unrevoked root must be done prior s-off procedure), revolutionary can do everything in one go I prefer Revolutionary

Thanx Bortak!... I managed to flash the WWE RUU 2.3... I make the goldcard from my Galaxy Note...
Ok, next guide me on how to;
1. S-Off
2. Upgrade my Desire to Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 9 (which is stable...)

Like kotag said revolutionary. But before flashing of rom I suggest you to upgrade recovery, because revolutionary installs some old version. My recommendation is 4ext, install 4ext recovery updater and then flash recovery from it.
