Hello,
Is it possible that some one could help me with the following issue;
I bricked a Orange Wildfire S 2.26.61.1 and did not have a back up. All available RUU's were of earlier versions and could not bring the handset back to life. I have got hold of another handset with the stock rom 2.26.61.1 so it is possible to take a back up of this and use it to flash the other handset back to life? And if so how do I do it?
All advice gratefully accepted.
Many thanks

Hi guys!
First : 2 months ago I've got the reboot-issue usually when i try use mobile network.
Sometimes i experience the problem after couple of minutes of playing with any game on my phone.
Which company i should send back the phone:- dial-a-phone , - orange , -htc.
Second : I tried to unroot the device but htc sync(3.0.5511) is not recognising it.
My phone is running Gingervillain 1.1 (gingerbread 2.3).Should i try downgrade first?
Anyone experienced this?Any suggestion?I wouldnt be worry if i know that i can send the phone back like this and they will return it with the stock rom without risking to lose the warranty.
Thanks in advance.
i would suggest flashing the WWE RUU before sending it back to Orange/HTC.
You will need a goldcard to do this if you dont already have one.
Do a search in XDA and you will find instructions on how to do it.
The RUU you want is 2.29.405.2 which you can download here...

This will get you back to HTC stock, no root etc...
There isnt currently a way to get back to true Orange stock
thanks mike!
hi guys, can some please help me on this. im a bit stock. i am on tmobile network and have a DHD and i would like to return to stock. i have gone to the HTC Desire HD files but i dont know which one to use for me to return back to stock. can anyone tell me which one it is or post a link for me please as i dont want to flash the wrong one. I really need it as i need to send it back for repair. I really need it asap. Also i have 1 problem, my volume up button is stuck and when i turn my phone on, it vibrates 3 times and the orange light just flashes. is there a way to sort this out?
Since you want to send it to repair, ask them to repair the "stuck" volume button problem.
here is the link to go back to stock.

Here is also a little shorter version from jkoljo's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=857537):
"To go back to S-ON:
•Flash stock ROM (RUU)
•Temproot using Visionary
•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
•Enjoy your factory-state phone"
And here is the RUU for Telus DHD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932771 (Notice that I'm not sure if this is the recommended version for your phone but this is the only one I could find with a quick search)
@hedayat7
Thanks for exactly copying one of my posts but it isn't the Telus RUU that he needs
@Rawdi
Was your phone branded when you got it?

i dont know if it was. how do i know if it was? please help me. i love my DHD too much for it to turn into a coaster. if i send it back to tmobile, even though i have rooted it, does it void the warranty?
What exactly did you do when you flashed a custom rom (assuming you did)?
@Hawks556 , hehe .. very lazy to type new post, found yours and copy paste.
btw, credit to Hawks556 . hehe

nothing, i have the leedroid rom and what i did was a restart as it was playing up a bit. when i did the restart, the 3 vibrates started and the orange light started to flash. i went in to CWM and did a key test and the volume up button did not respond so i take it is stuck. the way that i go into CWM was i plugged in my charger and the CWM comes up. i really dont know what i can do. also i dont want tmobile to know that i rooted my DHD as i heard it voids the warranty. any ideas on what i can do?
I meant how did you flash it? Did you have to use a goldcard etc? Did your phone have any t-mobile logos anywhere (eg bootanimation) when it was running stock rom? If not then you can do this:
- Flash stock ROM (RUU http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_A....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe)
- Temproot using Visionary
- Use my tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537), do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID, should be T-MOB005 for t-mobile uk)
Above steps were provided by jkoljo
Also messing with the software shouldn't really void the warranty because the defective volume button is solely a physical fault. There could ofcourse be a dispute of somekind, but in the end they have no right to refuse warranty service.
This could though become o problem if you have any software related warranty issues in the future.
Can anyone recommend a download link or other source for the above ROM and Radio please?
I need to return my phone to stock for HTC to examine it and check my faulty GPS chip (then hopefully provide me with a fully-functioning handset!).
Thanks for any help.

Download the TMO version
Superb, thanks buddy.
anytime
Hey,
Did it work? Can you please share your experience? I am interesting in running custom ROMs, however need to ensure that I can return the phone back to the state that I got it in. I have a branded, but unlocked, T-Mobile UK DHD.
Cheers,

It seems to have worked successfully (the handset is now with HTC's designated repair centre).
It was a pretty straightforward process:
- Download the Stock ROM from the above link
- Flash it
- Then follow this guide to return to S-ON.
HTH?
Hey mate, I bought my Desire HD from the Carphone Warehouse back in December, running the stock Froyo Rom. I'm on T-Mobile too. Do you still have a copy of the RUU you downloaded? I can't seem to find any and the link seems to be dead.
Hi, I flash rooted my HTC One X back in 2012 and was looking to unroot my phone back to factory settings. I've upgraded my computer then and haven't saved my backup and was wondering if there was any other way to get my phone back to HTC Sense and not Jellybean. The battery life is absolutely atrocious and I can't deal with it anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't find a RUU for HTC One X Orange Uk anywhere.

If you want to go back to stock ICS you need a 2.17 based nandroid backup. A 2.17 based RUU will fail because you have a JB hboot and we can't downgrade the hboot because of s-on on our devices
Hi,
I am trying to bring my HTC One M8 back to stock for repair.
It is a Vodafone UK handset but I am only able to find a stock RUU. Will this be an issue?
Lastly, I have **** Software Status: Official **** displayed on the first line of the bootloader, is this normal / will this flag up that the software has been modified.
Please advise.
Thank you.
