Hey guys...
Last week I bought a second hand( used in good condition) Desire HD, which also has a warranty of local HTC dealer. When I had received it, I realized that ROM( probably Basedand and Kernel) has changed also. Even everything works good, I'm wondering is there a way to change back everything to stock, so I can achieve warranty if it's needed.
Also I found SuperUser Icon in menu, so It means that phone is rooted.
I don't know how phone is rooted, so I can unroot it.
Sorry If I sound like noob(cause I am first time on Android phone, I've used Symbian and WM before). I'm trying to adopt in Android world, but this for warranty really concerns me.
Thanks in advance
P.S. I've received phone with this on it:
Android Version
2.3.3
Baseband version
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel version
2.6.35.13-Buzz_2.2.1_OC+g2ad4ce3

theres definitly a way to unroot your phone, but its not as easy as rooting it as i was rooting my phone bout 6monthes ago i found a how to unroot ur dhd, but dont remember where i found it. ther stock roms (original) u can find in dhd section here on xda
as long as u dont need to unroot it, i would prefer u flashing a more actual rom or update yours. just take a look in dhd android dev forum. im sure u will find something for u
here a link to the newest version of ur current rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040
Thanks....
I couldn't find any original ROM here
And If I just flash the original, will everything back to original(will root remain) or...?
Can anyone even help to find out how the phone was rooted...?

There are tons and tons of custom ROMs in the development forum. They start with [ROM]. If you flash the original stock as a ROM, it will retain root.

What does HBOOT say? Boot while holding power and volume down.
Make sure you switch off, remove and insert battery, then hold volume down and power!

If you want to return to stock, just download and run a RUU

Advanced ace hack kit (AAHK), is the simplest way to achieve root, although it's not quite one click and you wont find it on XDA although googling it will bring up links for you.

Hi there
Im asking if somebody can tell me how to get back to stock. I've rooted my phone using unrevoked and have clockwork installed, I've been playing around with custom ROMs and Ive had fun but I want to go back to stock.
Id like to go back to a completely stock environment on 2.2, its an SLCD screen and I have a goldcard ready.
Thanks for any help

Hi,
may I ask you why you decided to go back to stock? Unhappy with modded roms or simply bored with them? Was it worth it? I am considering playing a little too, but I can't say that I'm not happy the way it is!
Thanks & ciao
Luca
I had alot of fun, and the ROMs that the devs here have worked on are utterly fantastic without question. especially LeeDroid and Pays Rom. Both very good, but really it's A2SD that I can't be dealing with. Other than that Id like to be able to update the GApps. I guess the more things change you want them back to normal

Thanks however I don't really see much that answers my question, I want to go back to stock completely, no clockwork and no root.
Can I do this by plugging in my Goldcard and running an official RUU on my PC?
Yes, and the link is in there as I said.
Thanks for you reply toyface!
However, what do you mean by GApps? Google Apps?
I'm sure I'll root my phone, but 1st I want to have the way back safe in some folders on my pc. I know it should not be too difficult to find the stock rom (plus my phone is unbranded, so no need for goldcard or anything), but, so far, I haven't been able to understand which one is the right one for my phone among the many that one can find on this website.
I guess I need to post this question too!
Thanks again TF
Luca
You're right the link is in there, sorry, it's been a long day, great FAQ btw thank you very much!
Yeah, the google apps as in GMail and the rest of the family. I really like the custom ROMs that the devs here have cooked up, I feel the best is LeeDroid, but if you were going for your first go around ROM wise I'd wait a little bit, there working on getting the Desire HD ROM ported properly, and when that happens, the ROMs will be even better!
Thanks for the advice TF!
I'll pretend I understood exactly what you mean by porting the Desire HD ROM!
However, one other thing that keeps me from rooting now is that I may want to upgrade to the HD and so willl need to get back to stock in order to trade in my phone to the dealer.
Furthermore, I hope we'll see Gingerbread soon and that may be the time to root and flash a cooked rom with android 3 since, as usual, HTC will get there much later than google release it.
One last question, if you can spare some more time: One of the feature I'm after, as stupid as this may sound, is waking up the phone using the trackball. Is it true that this a feature available right after rooting even without flashing any rom. It sound strange to me but I read it somewhere here and nobody denied it, so I guess it could be true.
Ciao TF and good night

Hi peeps, been looking around this awesome forum for a couple days and sort of figured it out but I have a couple if questions and thought I would ask first. Well root with revoked unless slcd, is that right? How do I find out what i have?. How to back up my important stuff, is there an all in one or a particular set of actions?. And which rom I want, was looking to get the desire hd rom but does everything work ok? And what's with the radio version?. Sorry for the noobie post but there is that much into coming out of that search bar it's a little overwhelming. Thanx for any help in advance.

You can use unrEVOked to root any Desire, regardless of screen. You can't backup completely until rooted, but once done you can do a Nandroid backup which basically creates a shot of your phone at that point so you can return to it - kinda like System Restore in Windows.
The radio is the equivalent of drivers - it allows Android to talk to the hardware. Always use the recommended radio in a ROM thread until you know what you're doing
However, before doing ANY of that, do the following:
1. Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and take note of the software version
2. Go here and see if there is a file matching your version. If there is, download it and keep it safe as if you ever need to go back to stock you'll need to use it.

Thanx for all the info and help. Will have a crack after work. But be warned I could be back later. Lol

download rom manager, or just search for recovery image in the devlopment thread.
cheers!
oh and there will be an option for you in the recovery menu to make a backup, so dont worry, just remember to always nandroid backup before installing a new rom/kernel etc!
Hi, got the image but revoked is missing a driver, tried looking for it which resulted in me downloading the sdk but revoked doesn't seem to see the driver it wants. Do you know which one it's after? Or where I might get it?

If you haven't already... install HTC Sync (for the drivers)... Just remember to uninstall again before running unrevoked...
This worked for me, hope it helps
Right need some more help. Got the whole thing going but it obviously needed some input which i had no clue about so I proceded to crumble like a school girl thinking I was soon to be the proud owner of a brick lol. So is there a walk through so I know what to press and if it's all going to plan?. Thanx again

Like Kevin said.
Because HTC also updated the HBOOT the usual Unrevoked method won't work.
All you can do is wait for the day the developers find a new way in or around HTC's new security.

How likely do you think this is? Will the developers bother working on this? My brother was holding out on the root/custom ROM option hoping the 2.2 update would get rid of some of the lag... and is now disappointed that he can't root it because of the change.
hope they find a way. Really need OC. Little brother just got zte blade which is lot better and costs 100€ less than wildfire :/

I do not know, I am not a developer. However usually it takes a couple of weeks. Developers are proud people. If something made their hack not work anymore they will hack it back just to show how good programmers they really are

Hi guys,
I was good happy with my DK custom rom 2.2, then foolishly I tried one of the stock rom for HTC WF India, and then applied the OTA update, now stuck with unrooted WF 2.2. I suppose, if I take my WF back to HTC support, would they be able bring my WF back to 2.1, and then I would again root my device, since now my warranty is retained after flashing with the stock rom.
Any guesses on that.

You can ask them, but, its extremely unlikely they will do that, and, I am pretty sure they wont.
Sorry mate, but it is entirely your fault you applied the OTA, even when there are so many threads proclaiming that you shouldnt apply it, if you want to keep root.
don't know but sure it will be interesting if you can post if they do.

Customer services were not born yesterday.
If they do decided to give you Éclair back then you can guarantee that it will be done with the new Hboot version on it and not with the old.
It's highly unlikely though.
They will know that the only reason you want the old O/S and Hboot back is so that you can hack it. Unless of course you can provide them with real solid evidence that for some reason your Wildfire really does need to run the old O/S and Hboot.
All you will get is you have to have the upgrade due to performance security etc etc.
And if they do decided to give you back the old Éclair O/S you can bet your left testicle it will have the new Hboot.
i updated my wildfire to 2.2 it doesnt lag it only runs smoother and faster specially the wifi

Hi everybody,
Today I went to HTC customer care, but the guys there told me that they also are not able to downgrade it to 2.1, and their image is hanging.
Now only thing is to wait for developers to root the image and bring online.

Hi everyone,
Can someone kindly give me a hand rooting my Desire HD. I have installed Visionary R14 but everytime I click TempRoot is says "Rooting Device" and about 30 seconds later the screen goes black then Sense reloads but device still remains unrooted.
Am I doing something wrong or is there any other way to root the phone?
Many thanks,
Dan.
What is the version of the software in your DHD? You need to downgrade if it comes with version other than 1.3.xx
The software version number is 1.84.61.2. How do I go about downgrading? Where can I obtain the software from?
Sorry for the amateur questions...
How about doing some reading in the android development side The stickies contain everything you need to know. You can find a downgrade guide there.
yo, dr9722.
i just recently rooted my phone too.
1st - downgrade to 1.32 (since visionary doesnt work on your current firmware)
2nd - then root.
this video makes it really clear
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkbmKLCkDWg
and watch part 2 and 3, although i think part 3 is for installing custom ROM, but you can be rooted with your stock ROM, like me .
CodeNameUnknown, this is exactly what ive been looking for. Thanks very much.
Im not going to get a chance to give it a go until Tuesday but will post an update then. Thanks again.

Downgrade, root, radio s-off, install WWE ruu.
Once u do that you lose root and recovery, so what u need to do is temp root and radio s-on.
And you should have a fully unbranded dhd
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have a Telus Desire HD and I managed to downgrade then root and Radio s-off,then installed Revolution HD 5.2.3 and everything is great.
However now i am selling it and the person that wants it says he wants it stock with no root or custom anything.
Honestly I don't know how to go about it to do this and that is why I need some help from someone that has more experience and knowledge than me.
Thanks in advance and if i left out any important info about my phone let me know and i will include it.
You should have made a backup of your stock rom .
if you did flash it though recovery. It will lose root. Still be s-off but they wont know ha.
failing that you need an official ruu. This is an .exe file used. With a windows pc. You will find these in the dev forum or the htc website. Ruu will.remove s-off radio-off and the eng hboot.
if you dort have a pc or cant connect your dhd to it. Flash a stock (but custom) ·rom and tell them its done.
.if they dont mod phones they wont know the difference.

So after reading this what is your recommendation?Do i still need the gold card to flash the stock rom?
Thanks for the help bud!
Personally i would go for the first one you listed. Connect your phone to htc.sync and double click the ruu. It should run the update and return your phone to stock. No goldcard or special method needed. Let me know if it goes well?

Oh man I think something is wrong....I fired up the first RUU and went trough all the instructions and hit update and it rebooted the phone to the black screen with the htc logo and its been sitting there for like over 30 min.What should I do,should I disconnect and try again or what.
I am so scared that this damn phone is bricked,please help!!
Edit:
Wow I almost got a heart attack and thought it bricked but was relieved when it booted up again.
But now I am scared to attempt this again and I don't know what went wrong.
Did it flash the RUU? or are you still rooted?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
No,unfortunately it did not flash cause it got stuck at the black HTC screen and then I disconected the cable rebooted the phone.
And now I am totally scared to even make a second attempt but eventualy I will have to.What is the chance of bricking the phone while running th RUU?
I have never heard of it happening before but I don't want you to be the first.
I don't understand why it didn't flash. If Ruu are not compatible it won't try to flash them. Usually.
I know its not morally right. But could you flash a stock rom via recovery then remove the superuser app. Giving the impression of being stock. Will be safer for you.

Is it possible to even brick with RUU at all?I want to give it a second try but the thought off bricking is scaring me.I use to own an Iphone before I switched to Android and I had the worst experience with the Iphone that it left a mental scar on me.
Anyway I spoke to the guy that wants to buy my phone and he is basicaly now saying that he wont mind having the phone rooted but he would like to have a stock rom on it.
I tried to tell him that the current rom that I have on (Revolution HD 5.2.4) is way better than stock but he is not listening to me.
There are stock roms in the dev section. Ill grab a link for you if I have time. Bit busy at the monent sorry.
Idont think you can brick with an ruu but I'm not 100 percent. Id go with the stock rom through recovery.

Its a standard zip to flash through recovery. Its rooted but as the person buying the phone said they want stock. This is the closest you will get without an RUU. Glad to be able to help.

Not sure why the ruu failed. But if you want to give an alternative a try is run the ruu for the first two steps, right before it begins flashing. Go into your temp folder. You'll see a folder named bunch of gibberish. In there look for rom.zip. copy it and rename it PD98IMG. Place in the root of your SD card and flash through hboot
So I am on Windows 7 and where is this temp folder located specifically?
Could it be possible that the RUU failure is caused by win7?
Sent from my Desire HD
In the start menu search %temp%.
Not sure. Could be maybe a driver issue? Did you have USB debugging on? Maybe a bad download?
I've ran ruus on windows 7. So I doubt its the os
I think I did have usb debuging on....you think tat could be the problem?
And thanks for the search tip I managed to find the folder.
I will give this a shot in the morning with a nice cup of coffee .
Sent from my Desire HD
ive always have mine to have usb debugging on when connected to a pc, but not positive that it is required for the ruu. Ive only ran an RUU a couple of times.
Also do you have HTC Sync installed? if not install it and try RUU again. Personally i prefer the PD98IMG method though. keep us posted
I do have HTC synch installed so I think that can't be the problem.
I'll try the RUU method one more time and if it fails then I will try your method.
Thank's for your kind help sir.
Sent from my Desire HD
ok. let me know if it works. maybe try the other ruu this time. first one you tried must be wrong. good luck
