Vodafone User

Hi! I'm a new user of the Desire Hd. An old user of the HD2
I live in Spain and i've got my new Desire Hd with stock Vodafone Rom. I really would like to change and try one of the fantastic roms posted here on xda.
I've seen some topics explaining how to radio off, etc....
My question is: Is there a way to get back to the original stock rom with stock functions as never touched? I have 2 year warranty with vodafone and i don't want to loose them. Thankyou all!

Short answer, yes.
You could replace the Vodafone branded firmware and replace it with the stock HTC firmware and they wouldn't know, as most carriers will at some point supply an unbranded device.
I got mine from Orange UK, and it was completely unbranded.

Ok i understand. So there won't be a way to backup the vodafone firmware to restore it back later?...where can i find the stock firmware?i'm still new on this device..is there also a way to go back from sim unlock,radio off..all of this stuff?thanks!

Hi,
I suggest to perform a Nandroid back up using clockworkmod....before to upgrade a new rom...

Ok..
Hi thanks for replying. Ok i can do a nandroid backup, but then i see i have to make many operations like root, s-off, radio s-off, upgrade clockwork etcetera........ And i would like to know if then i can restore everything back because if i have to send the phone to the sat Vodafone won't let me.... It's important for me , i think maybe other vodafone users are interested in this. Thanks

You can apply an RUU (Rom Update Utility) to restore your handset to complete factory settings. A generic WWE (World Wide English) version should be fine to restore to as that would be the type HTC would ship on an unbranded device sold in Europe.

uhmm. that's a good idea. I can get it on the official htc page? maybe you can help me with a link? Thankyou very much.

ok i've seen the vodafone ruu.. it's uk.... i need it in spanish....... Thanks!
maybe it's possible to have it? otherwise i have to install the wwe no? i see it's the 1.32 ... now there is the 1.7* out no? Thanks!

The WWE version will do fine. As it has all the major European languages.

ok that's perfect. So now if i do all the procedures like s-off, root, clockwork update etc.. Then simply installing this Ruu i will return to stock version? Thanks
or maybe it's possible to install the vodafone uk one and install in it a spanish lang pack? Thanks
edit: Other idea. I could make a nandroid backup like explained before. Install this wwe ruu so i restore the old clockwork. And then restore the nandroid backup. This should work no? Thanks

Most, if not all, RUU's that are aimed at European countries will have support for English, Spanish, French, etc...
If you do all the procedures and run the RUU it will revert everything (Except Radio S-OFF) back to factory defaults (Including S-OFF & Root) you can then get OTA updates direct from HTC, no waiting around for Vodafone ESP to bloat them.
RUU's that have specific language support will have a slightly different filename.

ok. i've edited the previous post like this, what do you think about this idea?
edit: Other idea. I could make a nandroid backup like explained before. Install this wwe ruu so i restore the old clockwork. And then restore the nandroid backup. This should work no? Thanks
and also. i can revert to radio s-off or not?
thanks

If you run the RUU it will restore your recovery partition from Clockwork Mod Recovery back to HTC Recovery.
You would not be able to restore a nandroid backup until you Rooted, S-OFF & installed Clockwork Mod Recovery again.

ah ok i understand.. it's a shame i cannot find an ruu for vodafone in spanish.. i see that in uk exists because it's posted on your ruu page...... i really like to stay on cooked roms, i need the vodafone one only in case something happens and i have to bring it at vodafone.. Thanks

[Q] Please help, How to Vodafone rom backup. Possible Idea.

Good morning.
I have a DHD vodafone branded mobile.
I would like to backup this rom so after i can attempt to make a goldcard, downgrade,use the radio tool etc...
My question is,i start with a fresh DHD vodaf. Brand.it's version.1.72.
I install the rom manager and then the cwr mod recovery. Will it work?
Then i do a nandroid backup and after i can start downgrading and radio s.off etc..
Is that correct? In case i would like to revert i simply flash the backup,s-on and change the Cid to vodafone Cid.
I also would like to flash the radio.i see it's still not possible to revert from this procedure but i think it doesn't matter,i need the backup only in case i have to send the mobile to the sat.
Thank-you all.

Nobody can help?

factory reset maybe ? or just try reflashing even recovery, then custom rom .... if it doesnt work, try finding stock somewhere from the guys here on forum ... and then from that rom, instal rom manager, flash cwm, and custom rom ...

the problem is, is that i cannot boot into a rom to begin with. . . . so my question is, is their a way like the samsung i know has a flash tool, is their anyway for me to completly reset this device, because its f******

possible solution
I might have the solution you need.
Check your pm and get back to me.

Urgently Need Stock kernel

Hi All... i recently installed Grakernel but that ruined my camera... i urgently need stock htc desire 816w A5dug kernel........ kindly someone upload it please......

I have looked through everywhere on forums and htc websites and couldnt find anything for this phone, i really need a nandroid backup for the US virign mobile variant, but couldnt find anyone who has it. I am running a backup version of a guy who posted it up from thailand, but so far service ... just waiting for some kind soul to do a nandroid backup of this new variant so i cna use my phone again.
P.S. I talked with HTC live chat and they confirmed that they dont have the kernel for it available yet

hello my name is Giorgio, and I have the same problem, I have my phone (Desire 816N single sim eu) flashed with grakernel. now I have a bootloop at the htc white screen.
I have tried many things, flash ruu, flash custom rom, flash with sideload, flash 3 different recoveries etc. nothing helps...
recovery says cant mount data or cant mount internal SD...
Flash with sideload say cant write data...

[Q] A challenging problem for all M8 troubleshooters out there!

Hi,
I have a huge problem with my One M8, heres are the details:
I bought my M8 from a well known seller on eBay Germany (rebuy.de) in February or March 2015... they had listed it as a software modified phone. I bought it having known that, I'd fix it using help from xda. When I fist checked it, it had a corrupted OS... I checked it's CID, it was T-MOM101 (Telekom Germany). After searching for a RUU everywhere I realised there was none. I installed a custom recovery, downloaded a TWRP nandroid Lollipop backup and the matching Lollipop firmware for T-MOB101 from a german site, unlocked bootloader and finally Nandroid restored the device. It booted up into the OS and I was happy for getting it running.
My joy was not to last long.... Rondom apps started crashing like crazy on the installed latest Lollipop firmware 4.19.111.2 ( S-ON M8). Got app crashing messages daily.... I had to reboot to get them working again but after some time another random app crashed then I had to reboot again or update that particular app if an update is available, to get it working again.
So far I've tried the original sense rom (TWRP Restore), many custom roms (ViperOne M8, Google Play Edition ROM, InsertCoin SkyDragon etc)... non seemed to be stable for my M8.
I had had enough, I thought by converting to SuperCID and restoring a WWE RUU would liberate me from my misery, so I went on to purchase the SunShine S-Off. I S-Off'd my M8 and restored using the RUU. Didn't help
Same behaviour persists on the WWE Rom too... app crashes driving me crazy... feel like throwing the M8 out of my window
Is there a genius who could help me fix my M8? Would really like to enjoy the M8.
Thanks in advance.
current state : Super CID, S-Off, Stock WWE 5.0.1 ROM

Every time I flash a rom, I use TWRP to wipe everything, even the internal storage and also use the format: "yes" option.
I just downgraded to KitKat 4.4.4 WWE using a RUU, lets see how this rom treats me.

I also heared about the issue, that high version jumps may cause problems, too. You could try to flash the official RUUs in chronological order. Starting with the oldest version to the latest...
Good luck!
