Hey guys,
I'm running a HTC One X ARHD 15.0 / hboot 1.31, and want to update to Renovate Final 3.
I've got two questions:
1) What's the best way to update hboot on a Mac?
I've done it before, and it was quite easy.. but I can't remember how I did it.. Although I can remember I locked my phone to receive an htc update, unlocked it, rooted it, installed recovery &d done..
2) Why should I update hboot, except compatibility with a rom?
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
I recently rooted and put a custom froyo 2.2 rom onto my HTC Desire. In the process i must of lost the backup of the original rom that shipped with the phone. The phone was bought with Vodafone Ireland and the baseband is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 . Im not sure but the guide i used to update my phone advised updating the radio (which i think is the same as the baseband). What i want to do is to download an original 2.1 (or 2.2) Rom so i can update to froyo the offical way. Basically the rom i currently have is buggy and i wanted to upgrade/downgrade to 2.1. I dont know what i need to do with my radio version or what difference it makes.
So my questions are:
1. Can someone link me a place i can download original HTC Desire Rom 2.1 so i can restore my phone to normal and upgrade to 2.2 through offical OTA?
2. What difference does the radio make? Why do i need to update that when i install a rom?
Thanks
oh and also if i put the original rom on it does that undo the rooting? Basically i want a stable version of 2.2 that i will be able to recieve updates in the future through offical methods (OTA)
i need this too
Look in the development section, there you can find RUU's those are original roms.
If u get an original ruu and follow instructions to install Froyo will be available for its system update. This includes an updated radio.

Thanks, Does this get rid of rooting? and do i need to pick a RUU that has the same radio as mine?
this "Updates" your desire, making completely stock like, from what i know you have to choose what fits you phone, if it's Hboot .80 or that other one...
it will lock your recovery too...
hey sorry about all my noob questions but i tried the following page before
"HTC Desire > Desire Android Development > [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URL"
and any of the ones i tried dont seem to work. Is it someting to do with the fact that none of them are the same radio as mine?
Im guessing i should be trying the gsm ones. i tried to install some of the zips through rom manager from GSM HTC OTA Update URLs but they failed.
by "lock" do you mean that i will never be able to recover again and ya my hboot is .80
guys,
Can someone please help with this, im really stuck.
Thanks
Hi, I`m a complete NOOB when it comes to Android, had my HTC Desire a few days now, it came pre-instaled with Vodafone UK bloatware on it.
As far as I know it the OLED version, on box says model A8181
Currentley i have Software v1.24
Hboot v0.83
ALL on a sim locked to vodafone UK.
I was looking at a guide on a different forum for De-branding the Desire.
I have made a Goldcard already
It seems ok but have a few questions:
Is hboot v0.83 ok to begin with for the process ?, i thought v0.80 was the best one ?
I was looking at the Un-revoked3 guide....would the ROOT with that app be done first ?, OR Is it a NEW process after the de-brading ?
thanks
All you'll need is a goldcard. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741836
thanks.
Done the Goldcard, looks like the Hboot 0.83 (which I have) is ok from what I can tell, one of my main Questions,
Also can I just ROOT after Installing froyo update, is the unrevoked app ok?, will it mean Re-installing a ROM or does it `add-onto` an existing install ??
cheers.

Don't install Froyo as that'll flash Hboot to 0.92. unrEVOke now and flash a ROM from the Dev forum. There is a rooted stock HTC 2.2 there if you're just looking for Froyo + Root.
I'm using LeeDroid 1.8 ROM on my previously VF bloatwared Desire ('unrevoked' to root), very happy.
Ummm ok, I have tried loads of times to do the De-brand, apparentley the VF software v1.24 I have stops De-branding as it just times out the Bootloader...it eventually gives a `usb error 171` every time.
I tried with the phone set as both usb mode or sync mode makes no difference,
I looked into the Unrevoked 3.1 program and apparentley its not working with Hboot v0.83.

try this guide!
Is that 1 ok for OLED Screens like mine though?, also am I OK in ROOTING whlle it still vodafone BRANDED ?
ok....just read the guide linked, IF that works, will I be able to put Offcial HTC ROM + froyo update?, or does it have to be pre-rooted ROM ?
thanks.
You can download stock froyo Rom here and just use that

hi guys, as mentioned i am interested in rooting my desire.... below are some details of my desire and questions
- i bought a 2nd hand desire ( i suspect its rooted before *forgot to check* cos it has the superuser icon
- its running the bravo PVT4 S-on currently. Hboot 0.93.0001 Aug 12 2010
- current version: Froyo WWE 2.13.707.2 (suspected the user has applied OTA update) release 274424, baseband version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
-------heres comes my question------
rooting should be simple (from what i read using unrevoked)
i will be using unrevoked and creating a goldcard just incase...i will read the rest up.
1) how to remove the superuser icon when i unroot?
2) considering this has the OTA update can i use the official RUU and unroot without issues?
3) will my apps be there after i root?
4) how abt if i restore using rom manager wif the backup i create once after i root, will the apps be there?
PS i am totally new to android and its my first android phone and i dun wanna brick it....i also believe there are alot of nice people here as i have been here since the Touch HD days
1 & 2. You can only unroot by flashing the stock RUU, and I'm pretty sure the one you're on doesn't exist. You can try the .1 RUU on Shipped-ROMs but don't know if it'll work
3. Yes
4. Yes

thanks for replying....
yup, the current one has no official RUU cos i believe its the OTA update
the RUU i can find is 2.13.707.1 (and afew differences) now my concern is if i wanna unroot using this RUU will it work or will it have any complications?
(take note that i am rooting on 2.13.707.2, and some differences in some other numbers)
any help?
thanks
Unless I am mistaken your phone is already rooted. The only way to have the superuser app is if you are rooted.
It should work but I dont think anyone will be able to 'guarantee' it!

Why not return it to stock WWE version by using RRU and start from there?
You will need a goldcard and probably for it not to be SIM-locked.

Hey Guys！
I updated my device recently. follow these steps:
1. already s-off. flash the 2.3.3 RUU
2. enter the official recovery, flash the 2.3.5 update file from the SD card.
3. Reboot and the OTA 2.3.5 with Sense3 works good, s-off but unroot
4. Use AAHK to root and get the superuser , but failed , could not boot the device system.
my question is : How to root DHD with S-off, OTA 2.3.5 with Sense3？
Thanks!
have you sure enabled the usb-debugger?
the phone in charge only mode?
have you the dhd driver install and htc sync on your computer close
have you see if you have all the requirements?

Yes. But unroot
Tell you what, I have the same situation as you, only difference is I also did the official bootloader unlocking out of curiosity. I'm going to use AAHT tonight to root, will report back if it goes through
Ran AAHK, it reverted the HBOOT to one that doesn't have the stupid pink ***UNLOCKED*** text up top, it downgraded 2.3.5, rooted the phone, and upgraded to 2.3.3 and I ended up having the "stock" Gingerbread again, when checked for the 2.3.5 update it didn't pick up anything.
Hi All,
Jut looking for some general advice and opinons. I have a onex that i havent unlocked or obviously rooted yet, I know its CID is HTC_001 and
S-on. So my general question should I go ahead and unlock and root and take advantage of a JB sense 4+ rom, or wait and go for the OTA JB.
Regards
qball
Take the advantage . It's a big leap .

I recommend rooting and flashing custom rom, I myself had some problems but it will be worth it.
Oh and I had this Htc desire Z, which wasn't exactly easy to root years ago.
just to give a heads up. You can't go back after upgrading your hboot version. Once you decided to use Jellybean sense rom with the latest versions of hboot, you have to use special boot img to boot non-sense ROM and as of now it will render your GPS useless. Unless you are among the lucky ones with S-OFF device
