Hey,
Would any of you know when the 2.29.xx firmware will be available for the htc desire with orange rom??
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
going on their performance on releasing updates in the past...about 2011...maybe.
You can contact orange customer services and ask, but they'll just lie to you.
I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you
Ok, so would i benefit from rooting this phone and putting a official debranded desire rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Possibly, but what benefits do you expect?
The problem with being on orange branded is that there's no way to get back to an orange stock rom after rooting.
This would possibly affect any warranty claims so it is a risk.....

You can root then use nandbackup so if you want to go back you can restore to orange rom.
I forget to backup mine but never regretted as I have using stock roms.

but once its rooted that effects the warranty and you'll be liable to pay for any repairs.
you are correct.
i have tried before to restore an orange nand and then apply the latest OTA over the top to try and get it unrooted but i haven't got it to work...
i may try again.
in the meanwhile, we'll just have to hope an RUU becomes available.
You can get back to fully unrooted stock orange rom I helped make a guide somewhere in the dev section. It is takes a lot longer than an ruu but it's possible.
But you still end up with the superuser icon in the menu.
No you don't you remove the superuser icon when you have root you can use adb to remove the icon and other stuff rooting adds to your phone
ste,
i've tried the process you did a number of time.
i think it only worked on an AMOLED Desire (0n 2.1).
i've tried with a Froyo orange nand and tried to flash the latest OTA over it to get rid of root but it just bootloops.
dont know if there's anything else that could be tried....
i dont actually need to go back to orange stock but it would be nice to know if theres a way.
Yea the backup is from my phone which is amoled. I dont know if flashing the 2.2 update will let slcd screens be used. To get out of bootloop flash tge update twice. Once removes clockwork mod recovery. The 2nd time the update will be flashed on stock recovery and you should be out of bootloop
I flashed the latest version, nothing. Just gets stuck at the white htcinc screen.

Look in the android development forum for "the ultimate back to stock thread". download the "PB31IMGxxxxx" file there, rename it to just PB31IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd card. Go into the bootloader and let it run the update. This will bring you back to a 2.2 stock. From there you can re-root and do whatever else you like. Just be careful with what you flash, just cause there is an update, doesn't mean you need to flash. I know it's hard but I learned that the hard way lol.

How do you manually get into recovery? I've only done it from rom manager. Im running evervolvs gingerbread 1.0.1b3 if that might be affecting cwr
Sent from my NookColor
So my whole problem is getting into the bootloader. I just need to flash a rom with working GPS =/. Anyone?

Edit: Weird, i just checked cwr version and it wasn't 3.0.whatever. all good now. =)
to manually get into recovery turn phone off hold volume down and power....
Ok, so I have an Evo, rooted it, flashed so many roms I can't even count, my friend gets an Evo, I root it, load a few apps and send him on his way. Today he tells me his Evo reset a few times, so he went to fastboot and it asked him to update, which he did unfortunately. Now his phone wont boot past the HTC splash screen, wont boot to recovery, wont get recognized by HTC sync. I have tried to clear the storage, flash the RUU image, and so far nothing. His battery was pretty much dead when I tried flashing the PC36IMG of the RUU, so I told him to charge his battery and try again.
So is there anything I can do or is he going to have to get a new one at a sprint store?

What rom was he running when it initially messed up on him. And do you have any idea what the pc36img that he flashed from the bootloader was? Some left over files from when you rooted it maybe? I would try the ruu or pc36img a few more times,once his phone is charged up.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
just to make sure.. your holding down the volume down button and pushing power at the same time? Should be able to get to the bootloader at least doing this.. then recovery..

Did the phone die in the process of updating, ect, because that could allow it to be bricked. I would recommend to try what the others posted on a full battery. And do you know what was inside the PC36IMG?
Can you get into the bootloader?...cus this happened to me a couple nights ago and I had to wipe all data from bootloader and flash the recovery from the terminal...fixed it for me
Sent from my nightly EVO
You can do a few things.
One, pull the sdcard, put it in your computer, and put recovery on the root as pc36img.zip.
Since it looks like the phone will go to boot loader, just flash the update and them try recovery. Hopefully, you did a nandroid that you can flash back to.
Or 2, if that doesn't work, put the RUU on the root of the sdcard as pc36img.zip and run the update, re-root, etc and basically start over from scratch.
I have put the recover and ruu images on the SD card and tried both from the bootloader. But like I said the battery was dead.
He didn't have a custom roms, stock rom, just rooted,and the only image he had on there was the recovery image. He had also cleared his storage at some point, not sure before or after.
I have the recovery and ruu images downloaded and I'm going to try those again, should I try the recovery first or just go straight to the ruu?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Essentially if I do the recovery image, it asks me to update, I update, it asks me to to reboot, do I reboot it go straight to recovery? Same if I do the ruu, do I reboot right away?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
If you flas recovery, when it reboots to hboot, check no for the update this time and go to recovery. Clear your caches and try to reboot.
If you flash the RUU, yo uare restoring the phone to out of the box, stock, so you have to re-root, and then flash your recovery, just like you did when you first got your phone
When I install the ruu, it turns off and then starts over again on the second step, then finishes, is that normal?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
If anyone has the correct ruu is should use, could you post it please, I think that might be my problem.

What happens after you ran the ruu? And yes, its normal for it to reboot, then finish installing. You'll see a black screen with green arrow, that's the radio flash. What happens when it finishes and you reboot? I don't have any links, I'm on my phone. But do a search, there's tons of ruu's around here.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Tried the ruu, is flashed, the rebooted, was on the HTC screen for about 5 minutes, made the boot sound, but the animation took about a minute to go through, then stopped on 4g, waiting a while longer it go to the lockscreen and wouldn't let me unlock it then brought up a force close that wont let me click it, it just sits there.
The recovery installed, it rebooted, I clicked on recovery and it stayed on the HTC screen for about 5 minutes until I pulled the battery.
Should I maybe try another ruu or recovery?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
You need to use the RUU that is specific for your phone, based on hardware version, radios, etc.
Here's a list of RUU d/l's.
It's not the best one, but I Can't find the thread with all the RUU's on it that's here on XDA.

That's weird that you were able to boot up, but it froze up on ya. Trying a different ruu wont hurt, but Im surprised the one that just succeeded for you wont run. What ruu did you run? What software? Maybe try clearing storage from the bootloader, and try to boot up again.
What hardware is your phone? What hboot version?

Cleared storage and ran the most up to date ruu because he had everything updated on his Evo. Is there anyway to get s-on?

Not without having recovery, to flash the s-on tool, unfortunately. I've seen reports of running the ruu a few times turned s on. Did you try running any older ruu, just to test?

I decided to install Cyanogen Mod on my Nexus. I already rooted it and downloaded rom manager + titanium back-up. I watched a tutorial on how to download and install roms using rom manager and everything seemed to go as planned and Cyanogen 9 was installed. The phone automatically rebooted and the boot animation the Cyanogen started. But after a half hour I realized it was stuck. So I tried to go into recovery mode to restore my backup (of the stock) but when I went there, the phone automatically turn off. It's not when I click, it's just after a certain period. It even turned off while restoring. To make things worse, when I turn it on now, it's stuck on the Google logo with the unlocked slot at the bottom. I hope you guys can help me because I'm starting to freak out.
Addidional info:

I did not delete evreything when I flashed
GSM version
rom was downloaded from rom manager
I backed up my stock rom
I did google but everything leads to bootloader which is broken
Yes I'm a noob

Where can I find this option and what does it do exactly? I have the Nexus Toolkit too, should I do anything there?
1.Don't panic
2. Try to go on bootloader then reset factory or fastboot then from pc flash recovery
3. Try to get back recovery then factory reset and flash backup

was it a nexus? maybe/probably not, but if it was, you should have used fastboot. it's officially supported by GOOGLE. if you want to flash a factory image, they tell you to use fastboot. why would we use anything else? a leak? that the community barely really knows anything about?
i'd rather use Heimdall!! (not sure i9250 is supported though.)
