Hello,
I have a recently purchased Desire from 3 Moblie UK.
Bravo PVT4 20000 erasesize
FROYO 2.2
HBOOT .93
Baseband version - 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
I have installed Unrevoked 3.31 and Clockwork recovery mod.
All went as expected and I have successfully tested Oxygen gingerbread roms.
I have installed a backup using clockwork to restore my stock 2.2 sense ui etc - also completed fine.
Now I am trying to return totally to stock - unrooting and removing clockwork from the recovery loader.
I have tried:
PB00IMG.zip v3 leak (placed in root of sd card)
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release ( i extracted the rom.zip and placed in the root of my sd card)
upon booting into recovery mode it says both of these are unsuitable.
Can anyone point me at a ruu that should return my phone to stock?
Thanks!
There aren't any recent 3 UK RUUs available, you could use a gold card to flash the 2.29.405.5 one but 3 might not fix it as it's on a different ROM.
The problem you have is being on a PVT4 HBOOT you're going to have an SLCD and the 3 UK RUUs about are for AMOLED only
So am I effectively stuck rooted and therefore also going to be unable to use OTA updates?
Yes but custom ROMs will be updated to newer builds as and when they are available
Why do you want to go back to stock? Only reason would be for warranty returns

Exactly that reason. I don't need to warranty but I'd like to know I have that option. That and just for the 'because' of it.
Anyone ever get the answer to this?
ie ruu that works with pvt4 - 2.3.3 wwe leaves much not working.
Hi there,
A year ago or so i got a desire, rooted it with unrevoked (amazing app, thanks to the developers), flashed clockworkmod 2.0.5.X (can't remember) and leedroid's 2.5.0 (after playing around with some others). However, a few months ago it started freezing without reason. Supposedly, a reformat of the sd card would fix that. Therefore, I backed up, installed latest Clockworkmod (5.0.2, with rom manager RM) and used RM to format the sd resulting in an error. When I booted in recovery I realized I already have S-ON and clockworkmod 2.0.5 (altough RM keep saying me i have 5.0.2). After that I used unrevoked 3.32 in an attempt to fix all that mess. However, the only thing I got was to have an unrooted desire!!!
My actual config is:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.08

I have tried using unrevoked again but nothing. Alphrev to raise the hboot version but my phone is actually unrooted. I don't know what to do, any help please!?!
Thanks in advance and apologies for the long speech
Do you have a custom ROM? then you have root. I don't think you quite grasp the concept of what "root" means.
1) You only need to run unrevoked on the stock 2.2 Froyo ROM if you would like to have that rooted.
2) ROM Manager sucks arse harder than a jet engine on full power. Do not use it, do everything manually through recovery
3) You are rooted, if your phone is giving you issues just do a full wipe and re-flash the ROM.
Full wipe:
/mounts & storage
> format boot
> format data
> format cache
> format system
> format sd-ext (if available)
If you would like to flash a different recovery, it is best to do it through Fastboot. For that, you need to be S-OFF. You have 2 options here.
1) Use the Alpharev live CD to S-OFF
2) Create a goldcard, use the latest WWE RUU to update your phone and it's bootloader, then use revolutionary
Then flash recovery.
You can find lots of help on my guide... it's not that easy to miss...
Hi bortak, thanks for the quick response!!
I'm really kinda newbie in these things. Yeah, i have a custom rom and yes, I was rooted. However, I do really think I am unrooted because titanium backup (through superuser app that comes with leedroid's rom) says at startup that I'm not rooted. Is there any other way to know for sure?
As you suggest, I thought on alpharev to s-off an then flash an updated recovery+rom. But I can't if unrooted (I don't know if that matters but my hboot is 0.80).
Is the goldcard+WWE RUU+revolutionary safe in my case?
Thanks a lot!

bortak I've read in your guide (amazing, thanks in the name of humankind ) and found that revolutionary only supports hboots 0.93.0001 and 1.02.0001 but mine is 0.80.0000.
Visionary is useful in case of not having a recovery, but I have clockworkmod 2.0.5. Is there any way to root my desire again so I can use alpharev to get s-off?
With s-off I could install an updated CWM so I can format the sd or install an stock RUU to get the phone to service center, am I right?
Thanks!!!
Dear coriscow
You may follow the below steps:
1. Download and Instal the official Gingerbread update for Desire which is available in developer.htc.com
2. Root the device using Unrevoked method
3. Flash a custom ROM (if you wish)
I hope it will solve your issue.
Thanks-
Shuprio

Shuprio I was about to reflash leedroid 2.5 again (formating sdcard and sd-ext). But I'll do as you say, thanks.
One thing, by 'the official Gingerbread update for Desire' you mean an WWE RUU, right?? As my phone has Clockworkmod but S-ON and is unrooted. However, yesterday I could install a new radio and RIL so I think it'll let me flash a ROM. If not (and i don't get a brick ) I think I'll go with the goldcard
Thanks!!

Yes Coriscow. It is the RUU. Best of luck! Hope everything will be fine.

Just flash a rooted stock Rom or restore your first nandroid.
Fyi if you run unrevoked, it messes up the super user application so you have to clear data on it to get it working again

rootSU that's it, thanks!
My main concern was that the phone was (seemed to be) unrooted and unrevoked could not change that. However wiping the data through the recovery did it
Now I will try to fix all the other thins like flashing a RUU to update the HBOOT. If so use revolutionary
Thanks you all, i'll keep you posted as I do thing
I did it!!! At this point I'm S-OFF (I never was), updated hboot, rooted (I already was but, as rootsu said, unrevoked messed something up), fresh leedriod install and the problem about the phone freezeing randomly seems to have disappeared after a full sd and sdext format. Thank you all for the help, the guides, and so and so
Hellloo xda...is there anyone who can gimme a proper step to step guide for unrooting my htc one v.
1. Download the HTC Asia India RUU from Football's collection in the development section
2. While that's downloading, relock your bootloader using the command
Code:
fastboot oem lock
3. Open the RUU. Find the temp folder it created and open ROM.zip from inside it with 7Zip. Extract the recover.img and flash it
Code:
fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Run the RUU and your phone's status will be *** RELOCKED *** and unrooted.
So why do you want to unroot?
Whenever I install custom Rom my sd card and WiFi doesn't work...soo I installed custom Rom without having a nandroid.backup.that's y I was asking.neways thanks a lot for replying.this. is my second one v(replacement)
sent from my sexoo one v
My build number is1.56.720.2 and the ruu is 1.58.707.3.what should i do now??
how do i find the temp folder??..
What is the use of other images???in rom folder..does this stock ruu flashing fixes error?
So what exactly are you trying to do now? Before you said unroot the phone, then you said install custom ROM in a later post.
could you also please find a way to help me? my htc one v freeze forever after i turn it on, please help me
Assuming you're on stock rom, have you try factory reset in bootloader ?
Do you know your software version or cid no. ?
He sent a pm telling me that his phone is rooted and he flashed a zip file that supposedly increases the SD card speed, and apparently causes soft bricks too
I think the only thing to do is re-flash the RUU because I don't think he did a backup in CWM Recovery.
Roxas84, please confirm.
I see.. if he can send the file, sometimes do a revert.zip will help. The easiest is reflash the same rom.zip with wipe cache & system. It should correct the error.
Hey dudes,
I was going to start the same thread but since this is open I want to ask you one question:
If I root the phone, flash cwm, and then I want to return to stock (for warranty purposes) how can I 'uninstall' cwm? Because for unroot I know how to do it, but uninstall custom recovery I never done that even on my older phone - Htc hero.
I'm not new to recoveries, custom roms, flashing and all this kind of stuff, but this is a problem that I don't know how to handle it since I didn't needed to uninstall the custom recovery in the past.
TIA!
L.E: To Answer my own question:
D) ROM is stock, bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and rooted
- download OTA Rootkeeper from Play Store
- run the OTA Rootkeeper and click protect root
- no need to relock bootloader
- boot to bootloader and fastboot flash the stock recovery
- run the OTA update
- Once done, run OTA Rootkeeper and click restore root
Thanks @ckpv5 for these awesome guides
I just summarized this thread in the following tut but with much more detail:
[TUT] Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device (for noobs)
Roxas84, follow this tut if ckpv5's suggestion above doesn't work.
1ceb0x, it will also show how to revert to stock recovery.

Just restore the nandroid backup you made before rooting your phone.
Hello guys, I want to unroot my One V but I have a problem. I don't find my RUU. HBOOT says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
Radio-3831.18.00.282
eMMc-boot
Which ruu should I use?
Thx!
Dude you don't look here you look at your software number in settings
Oh! My device says 2.19.666.3 and again, there's not RUU with this mention...
Yesterday i installed a custom ROM on my HTC Desire from which i flashed a recovery (CWM 2.5.0.7 i believe) to about a year ago. Now i wanted to partition my SD for the A2SD function of my ROM. However i have S-ON in the bootloader making it impossible to flash the newest CWM recovery that can partition my SD for me.
And because i have a custom ROM none of the ways to S-off worked (i tried unrEVOked3, revolutionary and alpharev)
Does anyone have an idea about how to fix this? I have read that i need the stock ROM back but i also have read that installing RUU ROMS(these are stock roms right?) are dangerous to install..
Can someone help me from this misery that kept me up til 3 AM yesterday?
Thanks in advance,
Milan van Dijck
You install a stock rooted rom, then s-off, then install 4EXT RECOVERY, not cwm. Then you partition.
I originally had a stock sense M8 (bought it first day) but since October, I changed my phone to GPE (GPE Firmware and everything) and have been using 5.0 eversince using SkyDragon rom. Ran into issues a few weeks ago, and i've been waiting hard to go back to sense and use the newer 5.0 sense version.
However, today I ran into multiple issues, I thought installing the latest Sense Lollipop firmware and installing the latest ARHD 5.0 rom would do the trick, sadly that did not work.
I flashed the latest sense firmware and the ROM only for it to boot saying my Data is corrupt and i have to reset my phone, i say okay(was going to do that anyway) but then I access my recovery (TWRP) and my Internal storage/Cache/Data will not mount. I tried going back to GPE (atleast so my phone would work) but I cant do that either because even with the GPE firmware, the data partition wont mount and my internal storage shows 0 MB in TWRP, now im just stick in a bootloop/bricked device for hours. Any help would really be appreciated...thanks a lot.
Dev Edition RUU is what I would recommend. Partitioning is different on GPE versus Sense. So I'm guessing running the firmware only, since its not a complete image, did not change the partitioning back to the Sense partition scheme.
Converting from GPE back to Sense is not trivial, and not to be taken lightly. It seems like you tried to make up your own process instead of following any definitive guide or advice, which I do not recommend.

Thanks for your reply, to get this clear:
I should flash the Dev Edition RUU from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777) (3.28.1540.5) and then update the firmware to 4.16.1540.8 by just flashing that separate zip. However, if I flash the RUU wouldn't it relock my bootloader and put me on S-On and lose root and the custom recovery(Im terribly sorry if this sounds dumb, but my phone is soft bricked and I really need to get everything right this time), Is that the case if I flash the dev edition RUU? Thanks again.

No, RUU will not relock the bootloader. The only way the bootloader gets locked/unlocked is if you do so yourself.
Same with s-off, there is nothing that can change that aside from you making it s-on yourself.
Yes, you will lose custom recovery, as RUU will install stock recovery. So just flash stock recovery by fastboot after RUU. Then flash the ROM you want, which should already be rooted (so losing root is a moot point).
Official firmware.zip will also write stock recovery. So doing so would have caused the loss of TWRP anyway (unless it was a user modified firmware zip).

So I downloaded the RUU from (http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/) but its an .exe which requires me to plug my phone in which my computer cannot recognize because the phone won't boot at all, is there anyway I can install the RUU by not really needing to connect the phone to the computer? (Put the file in the external SD and install it via the bootloader maybe?) Any tips on that? Thanks

The phone doesn't need to boot into OS to run the RUU. It just needs to be able to get into bootloader/fastboot mode, which it can if the screen comes on.
If the device doesn't show on your PC, its a different issue. USB connectivity issue is almost always a driver issue. Install HTC Sync and HTC drivers, if you haven't already. Or uninstall and install them again.
I have a similiar issue. I had a tombile ruu.zip that a flashed as a 0P6Bimg.zip a kitkiat sense version for tmobile. Everything is cool and it runs fine. When I change cid and mid then flashed the sense lollipop firmware I lost my internal memory and twrp read storage as 0mb.
So idk
I flashed the Dev RUU as recommended by redpoint73, booted up and now it says that its updating to the latest firmware android 5.0 (OTA Update) However, I am going to install a custom recovery (TWRP) and put on ARHD instead, thanks for the help, and pretty much unbricking my device, lol.

You're very welcome. Happy to help.
Did you have to do anything to get the RUU to run (like install drivers), or did you just end up running the RUU exe, and it worked?

I already had HTC Sync installed, had to boot into Fastboot USB for the thing to get recognized.
