hey guys.
I´v tried different ROM the last days and I found out that I wanna go back to the original ROM. The one that came with the phone when i bought it!
I´v be looking on this site and on google. But what i could find is really complicated for me to understand.
So what im asking of is a easy understading guide to how you get your phone back to the original operating system.
plz help a noob
thx.

I hope you did a backup of your stock Rom, and if you did just restore.
My suggestion is to stay rooted and run a stock rom with A2SD

I need to send my phone in for warranty work. I followed the guide on the unlockr.com but the PC10img.zip they supply for you says the main version is too old update fail. I believe all I need is the right PC10img file but my phone is S-on atm not sure if that matters. if I could get some help that would be much appreciated!
I dont know about the website you mention but why not use the Vision Wiki?

Good to hear!
PS: if you can use the 'thanks button' I would be glad too
that warning is for people flashing it when they are already getting bootloops/are semibricked. It will install the hboot, radio, and recovery (now you are probably s-on and definitely don't have cwm recovery anymore) and then it will stop updating. Then you are mostly screwed. If your rom is still booting fine, you shoud be ok just make sure your phone is running the right unrooted factory rom (if you unroot it manually, be sure to remove superuser first! Lol) and you should be fine.
However...can someone verify that what i'm saying is right before potential disaster strikes?
Edit: how did i miss the fact that this was already solved?oooops! Lol
Ok guys might need a bit of help..
Not too familiar with this handset really but flashed my phones a million times without problems...till I set about the missus's phone yesterday.
Its a 3 UK branded desire..was HBoot 0.83
Went through the S-Off/root/Recovery/Hboot upgrade procedures...and all looked good.
Till I came to actually flashing ROMs.. and tried a couple. Just bootlooped on the AlphaRev screen for all.
So decided to drop back to stock through HBoot... the stock ROM flashes with apparently no errors reported, but again fails to boot. And AlphaRev HBoot doesn't get overwritten..although Recovery's gone.
Anyone know how to proceed?
First of all by reading the tutorials carefully before proceed, to avoid any trouble
Get the latest RUU for your Desire (3UK) and save it somewhere.
Before you flash it, download the HBOOT Downgrader from Alpharev.nl.
Flash the Downgrader first, then the RUU.
And what do you mean the recovery is gone? Are you still S-OFF? You can flash a recovery with the Android Flasher tool in the Development secton.
And What ROMs did you try that all failed you?
You probably forget one ot two steps when flashing.
Ain't no noob buddy so need to cut and paste the standard response guys!
Did all them things so that's why I'm asking..and yes despite being over flashed with the RUU s-off is still there. That's what I meant by the alphrev hboot not being overwritten.
However..the downgradues worth a try....

And that's how being rude will cut the number of replies you get...
No rudeness intended..but RTFM is no help either under the circumstances.
I've been doing this for years since my tytn.
I really appreciate the help I really do..the downgrade suggestion ain't in the guide...and seems a good idea. Will try soon as I'm home.
Ha. It ain't going well... worse in fact.
Downgraded HBoot and flashed RUU...screen won't turn on. But RUU can still just talk to it. Flashing again. But still the same.
Vol down makes it vibrate now...but not much else!!
Edit: Hum...my first brick I think! Think the wife might be gettin an upgrade.
Edit again: Screen blank but the RUU program still sees the phone. Fails to revive it mind you. Only outward sign of life is a pulse vibrate on the power button being depressed after a battery pull. Anyone seen this?

Elaborate my friend? The 0.83 bootloader might indicate it has a sLCD... but only might I understand. Is there a history of issues with SLCD screens?
I gotta go to work..in Holland..but I'll still be checking in here for any information. It may very well be bricked but I'm still interested from a technical aspect.

Which RUU did you flash? If your phone has a SLCD screen, it might be a possibility that you've flashed an AMOLED RUU to your SLCD. Thus you will get a SLCD brick which makes you unable to view anything on the screen but the phone is working normally. It's reversible by following a SLCD unbrick guide.

This is all basic, well documented stuff you seem to be completely unaware of. Perhaps RTFM is exactly what's needed here.
Thankyou very much indeed to those who who pointed me in the direction of slcd. Now I know what to search on finding the information I need is straight forward. Really good stuff.
Thanks very much too to those who provided the ex-wife service too. Unfortunately I always know where to get advice like that
Hi folks, I have just joined as a friend of mines told me XDA was the place to look for help in sorting out my HTC Desire.
I will do some reading over the weekend and hopefully sort the problem out myself and not need to look like a complete tosser. There is obviously millions of members and endless amounts of topics to chose from.
A brief description of my problem : I installed the HTC Gingerbread 2.33 RUU a few months back and ran into issues with the storage, which I believe the update warned of. Anyway, that RUU updated the handset no problem, but me being me I decided I wanted to revert to a stock rom so downloaded an older version which failed to install on the phone.
I used Revolutionary method to gain S-Off and created a NAND back up without any problems then I tried to run the old RUU and hit a brick wall so to speak. I am now stuck on the TMobile UK loading screen and although I can boot into HBOOT menu I cant use recovery to gain access to the back up or anything else.
My PC is now wont find my Desire as a phone but just a Android Device.
As I say I will do some searching and hopefully find my way through the maze of information.
If I need anymore help I will give full details of ROM Version , HBOOT and exactly how I got my phone into such a sorry state.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help me.
Don't Worry.. got you problem..
First of all install latest HTC sync and android UBD drivers..
Then Give me detail of device.. We'll proceed if still faces the problem

Hello everyone,
Recently, I lost my phone so I had to switch to my old HTC CHero, when I found my HTC Evo I tried to change my phone but Sprint noticed that I had rooted so I had to unroot to get my service back. Now I am stuck at HBOOT 6.17.0001 and I don't know how to go back to 2.16 so that I can root again, unless there is a way that I have not found yet, however I have scoured google endlessly today.
My request is that someone teach me how to downgrade to 2.16 or help me root in 6.17.
THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME! PROBLEM SOLVED!

I wonder if you can just re-run the root procedure for revolutionary.
See this guide for that.

Alright, I will try that.
EDIT: This will not work because the earliest HBOOT it works for is 2.16.
EDIT: I am now looking for an RUU to fix my HBOOT.
You actually have Hboot 2.16. Your Hboot was just edited to read as 6.17 during the unroot to trick the phone. You need an RUU with firmware 4.24, 4.53, or 4.54. 4.54 would be best, but the others should work as well.

Does that mean that RUUs don't work? I am confused with your wording.
Just for future reference, you don't have to un-root your phone to get it activated (or re-activated, in your case). You just need to be running a Sense ROM that allows you to update your profile, PRL, etc

Only the Hboot matters, not the radio. You might be better off with a PC36IMG version of the RUU found here.

EDIT: I have successfully downgraded to HBOOT 2.16 thanks so much!
So... I've been searching for a little over a week now -this is as close as I have come to finding the answer to my problem (same as the original post). Since the link above is a dead end, is there any suggestion for me? I wish I didn't have to ask, it seems like most people are punished for asking. But man, I've been searching my butt off, with no clear result. If you can, and will help: "THANK YOU". If you've ever helped someone in the past, and they didn't say it: "THANK YOU!"

WOW! thanks for the reply Shortydogg! i really appreciate it. it didnt take though. i think this one is a done deal. i can either leave the phone as is (which aint bad at all), or send it out in the mail to somebody that knows what the EFF this dood did to my htc, and how to correct it.
btw, i "THINK" the error was 717. not positive but i do know it wasnt 140, but started out with a seven (too pissed to really look at it when it poped up! hahahaha)
right on for the assist bro! have a great week end!
