Stock HTC Desire

How do I unroot, restore default ROM, restore default hboot and go back to S-ON. Basically 100% stock since I need to send my phone back to the provider due to hardware issues. Many thanks.

Download and run the latest ruu. Check the Desire Index thread.

Actually, you need to download the latest RUU for YOUR Desire. Did you make a note of it before flashing a new ROM?

You can find everything in this thread

so flashing the ruu restores default hboot and S-ON?

Yes it does

He means the RUU specific for your carrier and handset, im guessing this would be the 3 UK one based on your avatars.

Oh thanks! Its actually vodafone handset with 3 UK similar card. Thanks folks

Hi
When I tried H3G uk its saying ur phone ready to use but screen not working when i tried WWE(world wide english), it stated the customer id prob, install correct RUU.

You need a gold card for a non-3 UK RUU - sounds ike you have an SLCD screen and flashed an AMOLED RUU, hence the black screen

Out of interest, if you run available 3uk ruu and check for updates, won't it update it for you? Mine was 3uk before root and custom ROM, so might need this info at some point. Thanks

Updated to 1.29.206.11 anybody know whats changed and am glad to see O2 is finally catching up

Can anyone tell me if the HBOOT and radio get updated in this update, or is it just the system files that get an uplift?
I'm running a custom ROM, so I can't run the O2 1.26 ruu!
Anyone know if there's a 1.28 O2 ruu knocking around?

Did you don't keep a back up of stock just in case? That's what I'm doing,
flash stock boot.IMG, flashing stock recovery, then fastboot up cwm restoring stock then upgrading.
Then right back into cwm to back it up.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

That's what I would have done if I hadn't been stupid enough to not make a backup of stock straight after doing the 1.28 OTA.
No stock backup = I'm screwed until a 1.28 ruu comes out (or S-OFF!)

Ah at last. Just updated
Although my new handset never suffered from screen flickering as it goes so I perhaps won't see much difference?
But good to see O2 getting on the ball and jumping to .11 straight away.

[Q] reinstall stock os

Can someone please help me to reinstall stock OS on my HOX.
How to go about it and what are the steps to be followed. Where do I download the stock Android with HTC sense.
I am new to htc any help will be greatly appreciated.

You need to do the following:
-Flash stock recovery image
-Relock bootloader
-Flash correct RUU for your version of HOX
Why are you wanting to go back to stock?

Can you please explain me the whole process and will it void my warranty?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Have you unlocked the bootloader? If not your warranty will be okay.

Till now have not done it..plz explain me the full process in detail..where can I download the stock rom?
Actually m facing some problems and HTC service center wants me to submit my phone for 2 days so that they can reinstall os. Please help

Ah okay since you haven't unlocked your phone or put a custom ROM on it you just need to do a factory reset to get it back to stock.

HTC would never have said that re-installing the OS is the solution to anything. The most they would have said would be to do a factory reset.
Please explain exactly what you have done to your phone so far. You need to be more specific otherwise we can't help - we are not mind readers here.

They said so actually I cannot play any videos on my phone not even videos recorded by its own camera..sometimes mp3 files too struggle to play. Factory reset has not helped hence they said they have to reinstall the OS.

Can you tell us your current software version no ? It will help to determine the right RUU for you since you want to load a new os.

Yes, I've picked this up too. Upgrade went smoothly, now waiting to see what gets better and what breaks...

Nice to hear that - my operator sucks ... vodafone is this time so damn slow ....

Anyone got a link to the changelog??

There is NEVER a changelog for OTA updates, at least not from HTC - when will people remember this!!
The ONLY one I've ever seen was for the unbranded 1.29.401.7 OTA - you can read it here:
http://www.htc.com/uk/help/htc-one-x/#download

Orange do seem better these days with updates maybe its just because this phone is more upgradeable than my old desire.
Just downloading my update as I type.

Nice surprise to start the weekend o/
Installed smoothly.

My phone had ruu 1.29.061.11 however I bricked my phone and I need to find this RUU so I can save it. But I cannot find the full RUU anywhere

I have a copy of a non upgrading orange uk ruu. 1.26.061.2.
PM me and I'll upload it somewhere for a day or so.

Thanks but I have tried this RUU and it failed. I have been told this because it wont allow you to install an older RUU then you already have. I really need the 1.29.061.11 or newer RUU because this is what my phone had before I messed it up.
(This is where I read this)
' Note that the RUUs will all function on any of the phones, but the CID locking prevents you from 'debranding' your phone by installing a generic [[#RUU]]. Additionally, the CID-related software also prevents you from installing an older RUU than what you are currently running.'-The android dictionary

hmmmm. Well I started with 1.26.061.5 and was able to install .2

hmm maybe its only the '1.26' or the '1.29' that need to go up. Also would you know if It makes a difference if the bootloader is locked or unlocked when installing a ruu?

I imagine you're supposed to reflash the generic recovery and relock but I'd have to go have a read.
I've been holding off rooting myself in the hope of discovering s-off.

I will just have to wait for the latest orange ruu to be uploaded

Serious help needed, unknown baseband, no signal. HTC won't repair..

Hello fellow hox xda people... I am very stuck in this situation, gutted because I love my hox.
It started when I lost my phone signal for a few hours.. stupidly in a panic I tried to flash stock recovery to try and fix it.. then I noticed my imei and baseband showing as "unknown".. I have relocked and run the ruu but the problem still remains.. I fear u have somehow corrupted the radio partition...
It isn't the sim because that works in another phone, I have tried another sim but still no signal.
I sent it to HTC to repair under warranty but because it had been relocked the won't touch it without me paying £150 to replace main board..
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?
I am waiting for the next official update to come and see if writing the new radio will fix it...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Seems like you've screwed your IMEI. This happened to me on the SGS2 where my EFS got corrupted luckily I had saved my EFS and managed to flash it back.
Not sure if this method also applies to HTC products, or it could be your phone has a hardware fault. If they are trying to charge you then nothing you can do I'm afraid then just cough up especially if it is a corrupted EFS.
Edit : EFS only applies to the Samsung phones, seems like your radio is screwed, if you still have your phone there is a radio thread on the development section, flash a radio again and it might just restore it back.

Thank-you for your reply... I did notice similar problems with gs2 when doing research on Google. I have looked at the radio which leads me to think I may be up the proverbial creak... I did try flashing the new leaked radio but with no luck... I do have quite a bit of blind faith in the up coming official update... is there a way of formatting the radio partition and the ruu re-writing it?

We can't really do anything in regards to that as we have no S-OFF. Where we can flash radios and rils. Still clueless how it would have damaged it as we don't have S-OFF.

Just relock your bootloader, flash with an RUU (branded or unbranded) and everything should be fine. This kind of thing happens once in a while. It happened with my S II and Sensation back in the day

That's very odd. That's what I've always done when my IMEI or baseband goes missing. Flashing the official OEM ROM usually writes the ROM, kernel and the baseband if I'm not mistaken. Kinda like when you flash a OEM firmware to the iPhone. It writes over everything hence why you have to use a custom ROM that doesn't update the baseband if you want to preserve your SIM unlock.
I installed Android Revolution HD 7.2.1 the other day (nice ROM by the way). Decided I wanted the benfits of Francos r12 kernel. Flashed it and then had no GSM signal. Baseband and IMEI were both unknown. Thought to myself "f*^k here we go again".
Downloaded this. Went back into the bootloader. Relocked it via adb. Then whilst still in the bootloader, I clicked on the RUU that I downloaded from here.
Once everything booted back up, had GSM, IMEI and baseband back. Proceeded to unlock the bootloader and flash ARDH 7.2.1 again but left out Francos kernel for the time being lol.

More for the legal heads etc. here, but HTC-Dev's website states:
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.
If you should require support, please feel free to contact us via the support section of our website, http://www.htc.com

It specifically says security is left on to protect the radio etc. - surely this should then be covered by HTC as, according to them, there's no way we could break it. The way I see it, either their 'security' didn't work, or the problem isn't caused by a bootloader unlock?

Hahaha! I couldn't help it. I just had to flash Francos r12 kernel again and what do you know? No IMEI and baseband. All good though. Restored from a nand backup I did earlier this evening and all is well again. Downloaded the kernel again just to make sure the md5 wasn't bung, flashed and same thing happened again. So when you get your HOX working again, don't flash Francos r12 kernel lol.

That applies to every device apart from, maybe, Tegra3. The radio might be accessible.

have the same insuee... yesterday i pick my phone and it has no signal...i think no problem reboot the phone...and no changes.. after i see that imei is unknown and baseband too... the phone with or without sim when i open sim slot says that has a problem to see the sim.. root relock flash stock and other roms is not helped -.-
sorry for my english guys.. but seriosly i tryed a lot of things nothing to do -.-
now i'm downloading an old RUU for flash it to change the radio...

If I'm not mistaken you can't roll back the radio using an old ruu.. I think I tried but it failed. I have also flashed the latest ota update but that didn't work either.. beginning to think its hardware as the weekend before it first happen it was dropped onto its screen from chair height with no immediate problems or damage... really struggling with this..

Not trying to start a flame war or anything, but this is why I stopped buying HTC phones and went with the S3. Because ever since they started with this HTCDev garbage, modding your phone became ridiculously difficult.

no way need s-off to downgrade hboot... s-off is not possible for now.. w/o javacard......i don't have idea what to do.. then f-.ck all.. drop my hand down and monday send my phone to htc and cross the fingers for free repair...
p.s. i think..to go to an phone store and say that i wanna see an one x white/grey and change it accendentely.. (stupid and illegal but can work )
edit: it's hardware fault i think..
