[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

Trying to rescue my friends Desire....

Hello,
since Saturday I'm trying to unbrick?! my friend's phone.
It doens't boot up into the rom and neither in the clockworkmod...
Booting into the bootloader is fine.
When starting the phone sometimes vibrites 7 times and then stuck at the htc logo. It's really rare to see a full boot.
I can't push a new cwm because it is S-on
Trying to get S-off seems impossible because I never get 2 complete restarts in a row.
Here some technical info:
Clockworkmod 2.5
Cyanogemod
Rooted
S-on
HBOOT 0.92.0001
Radio 5.09.00.20
Should I install a RUU to stabilisize the phone?
Please help me

yes try an RUU - make sure you have the right one though

How do I know it's the right one? It is unbranded, so which should I choose?

Stay tuned XD
Edit: Error 132...
"Signatur Error" and now?
Edit 2: Installed HTC Sync and now it flashes the RUU. Let's wait
Edit 3: Stoppt by 35% Funk..... Restartet phone... now I get a HTC logo with Warnsigns in every corner... Can't boot into the bootloader
Edit 4: found the RIGHt RUU and endet up with the error 152...
Here is a screenshot after the error

I got a complete RUU flash now but nothing changed. So I flashed it once more... it got stucked... I pulled out the battery and now the phone seems dead...
No charging light, no vibrations, nothing.
RIP?

Quite probably. I'd get HTC involved at this point.

I will.
But the Email Support doesn't work and the chat is offline.
So I call them tomorrow with my phone.
Thank you all, now I know much more about troubleshooting than before XD
Edit: After one hour the E-Mail has been sent. *Hope*

[Q] failed to update to 2.13.401.3

Hi! I have a wildfire s with 2.13.401.2. i want to update to 2.13.401.3 but if i try to check for new updates it says that there aren't new updates. i download the shipped rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445 .
i open the .exe file, click on next a few times but, when it reboot to bootloader, installshield wizard say that the device is not connected so i can't finish the installation. how can i do?

Do you have S-OFF? Check also if debug mode is activated on the phone (Settings-Applications-Development).

You are not suppose to reboot into bootloader, it will do it by itself. That's why the wizard did not detect your device. Also make sure USB debugging is checked under applications/development/USB debugging.

i don't reboot into bootloader. the wizard says that it reboot itself, but on the mobile appear a black screen with the HTC logo and then it says that there are no mobiles connected

Just to make sure that you can flash a ROM, do you have bootloader unlocked?

i haven't unlocked bootloader. i've flashed a rom two weeks ago, switched from a orange (fr) branded ROM to a Marvel HTC EU one. So i need to update to 2.13.401.3 to unlcok bootloader with HTC Dev

Ah ok.
Sorry but I can't see anything wrong there. You didn't modify the recovery option right? (You couldn't since you are locked).I had some update problems recently because I have Clockwork mode recovery installed and at the restart the system was freezing.
Maybe an admin can help..

Don't know if you solved the problem, but maybe you could restore the initial ROM, and then try again with the latest one. Maybe the 2.13.401.2 is creating the problem.

[SOLVED]HTCDev unlock? Error 191

Hi.
I'm having trouble unlocking the bootloader.
The first attempt:
I follow this guide, HTC Dev exe "works". After reboot the HBOOT is still 2.00.0027. At this point the firmware is 3.12.405.1.
I try the HTC exe again and get error 191. I run the Telus WWE 3.13.661.4 RUU exe, works fine. Try the HBOOT exe for that, and get error 191 here too.
I create a goldcard and put Telus WWE 3.13.661.4 on SD as PD98DIAG. The file keeps loading while saying "no image". Then i get the option to press vol up to flash and vol down to cancel. The phone freezes and it doesn't care what i press.
EDIT: Just tried choosing any option in fastboot while idle and it seems bootloader doesn't react to the volume keys eitherway...
Then I remember reading that the RUU zip is supposed to be newer than the current and try H3G UK 3.13.771.2, this time ONLY as a zip on sdcard. It fails and says that my current sw (telus wwe 3.13.661.4) is newer or "Main Image is older"..
Can you guys help me? After playing around with Samsung Galaxies and Sony Xperias this seems all too complicated lol
EDIT: Read below for solution.

first you have to upgarde your hboot to 2.00.0029
try one of these :

Miillaaad, your first link was great!
I did manage to get as far as above photo shows.
But I tested the volume buttons in android and they seem to be fully dead!!
Is there another way to get past that screen, or a "silent" way of flashing the unlockcode?
EDIT: Ok, so after i punched the volume buttons really hard and fast for a minute, they started to work. Bootloader unlocked, woohoo!!!!
Thank you very much Miillaaad!!!

Restoring Stock rom

Hello guys, this is what i have on my htc m9

Could I restore Stock rom on my htc m9 and how to do that?
And how I now which RUU to chose?

Download this file. Copy it to your ext sdcard and rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip
Connect your phone to fastboot and type fastboot oem lock
Boot into download mode. Phone will prompt you to install. Press volup and wait.
Before u start backup ecerything

If you're already linking one of my files you could've linked my instructions, too, since what you wrote isn't completely correct. Re-locking the bootloader is unnecessary if you use the SD card method. In the worst case (e.g. if the RUU fails and OEM unlock isn't activated in the developer options) you could end up with a non-booting phone that can't be re-unlocked. The M9 has security checks that prevents it from booting if it isn't completely stock and the bootloader gets (re-)locked. And although I tested that RUU there can always be reasons why it fails to flash.

Could you be more specific please, I am new with htc and I dont know anything about it, What is fastboot? And if you have some time to tell me step buy step how to do that i would be greatiful. Sorry for bad english

Im sorry Flippy498 i just want to help him. You are a genious and i respect you. You are a life saver.

My bad. I didn't notice that my signature isn't visible in this thread.
Edit: I don't know why the link gets broken as soon as I save this post. You'll need to copy'n'paste the link.

THX a lot, now I'm gonna to try to restore stock rome!

@Flippy498 I have just one question, I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly but I still have Software Status marked as Modified. Would I be able to receive software updates ?

Yes, you will. And you'll be able to install them, as well. (Receiving updates is not the problem, it's being able to install them if the system has been modified. However, a RUU reverts every modification you made.)
It's just strange that the flag still says that your system is modified. Normally the SD card method should reset it to original. But that shouldn't be a problem. OTAs don't check that flag. They compare whether the checksum of the system is the same as the reference value. Since a RUU overwrites the current system with the stock one you won't face any problems here.

Thanks a lot dude for your great work and quick reply !
