Put in the Goldcard and then run the official RUU (you can get one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6703172&postcount=1)
It should let you install the stock 2.1. Then connect to wifi, go to settings->About Phone->System software updates and hit Check Now.
I did it that way, worked for me.
Thank you for the reply,
How can I be sure what is the ROM RUU that I need?
Hi AndroHero,
Can you please link me to the rooted versions you mentioned...

I used the WWE version (Link: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe). When i booted the 2.1 rom after going back to stock, I got options to choose the carrier so it could apply the internet and mms settings. Am on Voda UK. Didnn want to install the Voda ROM as i think voda always release the updates much later than the official releases. After setting up the 2.1, I did update and it worked.
Hi,
1. While installation i got an error message 171 (connection lost), it was waiting for the bootloader when it threw the error
2. I retried the whole process twice and the same thing happened.
Can any one assist me?
Thanks ahead.

Reboot the phone in fastboot mode, i think its press and hold the volume down button as you switch the phone on. then use volume keys to select fastboot and select it with the power button. When you leave this on there, run the RUU and it should work. WITH A GOLDCARD (IMPORTANT).
My desire is unlocked, why do I need a GOLDCARD?
I did exactly what you suggested. I moved it to fastboot but I still get the same
ERROR[171]:USB CONNECTION ERROR
This happens after the PC restart the device so it is not a 'physical Connection' issue.
I have my phone unlocked and the SIM working. From what I read, I need goldcard if I wan't to unclock my SIM...
Please advise
I successfully installed the RUU ROM, but I'm not getting the 2.2 OTA... What should I Do?
My phone is unbranded and unlocked, do I still need a gold card to restore to factory state for warranty purposes?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If you purchased the Desire and it was on an x.xx.405.x software version then you don't need a gold card.
Don't people bother to actually absorb information as this is pretty n00b stuff...
I keep offering to help out with FAQs because this sort of information is not clearly stated. But thanks for letting me know. And I presume HTC read this forum and would know our tricks but apparently its still not a problem.

How would anyone know what version of the software his phone had when he purchased it? I, for instance, knew nothing of the "rooting world" when I got my unbranded unlocked desire, so now, after the OTA upgrade, I don't think I can retrieve that information: am I correct?
In order to absorb information, someone has to give it to you. The process is long (for some longer maybe), but I'm sure you were a n00b once and I hope nobody treated you this way.
Luca
That is correct but if you'd read all threads/information logic would dictate that perhaps it's wise to make a note of what it comes with out the box and make sure you have a back up route in case things go pear shaped/need to be reversed. If all you've done is root the phone and not flashed a ROM then you can still check but if you're now on a custom ROM then you're kinda screwed (unless you just wanna be on an unbranded ROM then you can obviously so this).
Easy way of at least finding out if you're branded or not is to just try and flash a stock WWE RUU without a gold card - if it completes then you're unbranded
Yes, I was a n00b once (Android n00b April this year) but I didn't ask any questions - I just lurked and read other posts and learnt by others mistakes and only asked if I wasn't sure what I was doing. I've had previous mobile phones and so knew about checking version numbers so always make sure I know what I have before trying anything like rooting (or the equivalent term for other makes)
Thank you Eddie.
As a matter of fact, I haven't rooted the phone yet: still in the info gathering stage as I just purchased the phone a month ago. I come from "stupid" phones so never had this problem/opportunity before.
I know for a fact that my phone is not branded, but I don't know:
1) which is the software + radio I should download to restore my phone in case I don't like what I get with rooting;
2) which rom to install: in this specific case, the more you read, the more you get confused. I read some people installing the same rom and one saying it is slower than Luancher Pro + stock rom, others that claim that it is faster than anything they've ever tried (and, mind you, they are talking about the same rom!)
3) last but not least, all guides I found in Italian are relative to using unrevoked with windows 7, while I still run xp and it seems that xp poses some additional problems. I just created a virtual machine on my pc to start using ubuntu, but I never even seen the thing!
However, thanks for the help and sorry about being a little snappish in my previous post. I guess we all approach this problem with different attitudes: some would like it to be a real one-click easy procedure and so keep on asking until they find somebody who does it for them!
Ciao
Luca
Yeah I agree to anti-n00b remarks are getting really old. I'm sure many of us have tried searching threads and doing the right thing, so can we all just get over it? I've offered 6 times now to help create FAQs and not one of the anti-n00bs has offered to help.
Anyway, so I understand then that for those with unbranded / unlocked phones it is a simple matter to restore to factory state. Just thinking in case the USB connector broke or something, which worries me a lot because often connections are rather wobbly although I'm not sure how much that has to do with cheap cables or what.
Hi Gurus,
Since the last two weeks , I have tried almost all the options to debrand the Htc Desire Orange UK version, but not success, Below was my cell stock information when I purchased it.
Htc Desire Black Edition (PVT1) not brown one
Froyo 2.2
Hboot = 0.93.0001
Radio = 5.10
CID=ORANG001
I wanted to debrand it to generic from the Orange then I rooted it with UnRevoked and S-Off through AlphaRev and executed the file "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe" from shipped Roms.
After that I got the Radio V2 Fail, When I restarted the cell, there was no display, even the charging light was off.
I contacted a person that has RiffBox, he flashed it and changed the CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001.
My cell new configuration is as below :
Hboot=0.930001
Radio=4.06
CID=HTC__001
Right now I have only fastboot and hboot access with no ROM in cell phone .
After that I tried almost all the Roms from the shipped-roms's bravo secton, they gives 2 types of error upon executing :
1. partition update failed (error on Radio v2 pu fail)
2. signature verification failed.
I want to debrand my cell to generic one , so that I can get rid of Orange stuff.
I am stuck at that point, needed the expert guidance to pass through this situation.
Thanks
No Guru answered till yet !!!
Given that you are s-off and rooted why would you not just install one of the stock rooted ROMs from the second post in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
I personally would not have changed the CID, can you install your stock RUU anymore?
Thanks 'welshbloke70' for reply.
Well, After having flashed with RiffBox my cell is no longer rooted or s-off.
Currently I have just fastboot and only hboot menu access. RECOVERY is not operational now.
When I turned on the cell, it directly comes to fastboot menu due to no
ROM in cell after flashing. So in this case I can only install from RUU or PB99IMG.zip, the xda link you gave have all the the ROMS but for rooted cell phones.
As now I have changed CID (HTC__001) which is the generic one, so I dont get any CID error upon installing generic RUU.
Any other suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I think the Gurus/expert are there are too much busy thats why they can not respond.
Well I saw your given link. It requires clockworkmod or Armon recovery, currently I am not rooted, so can not use the roms there.

Do you have a Gold Card??? Cause your problem sounds pretty bad. Since you aren't rooted and you don't have a recovery, it is pretty obvious that you can't install a custom ROM.
I guess you tried also the latest version of RUU which is 2.29.405.5 if you are from EUROPE.
From what I've read you can flash an branded RUU or another RUU on a branded phone only if you have a Gold Card. Now I don't know if this applies to you since you are no longer branded, but you can give it a shot if you haven't tried yet.
I think there is a tutorial on how to make a Gold Card even if you can't access the phone or see the screen. I'll look for it and post it here.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks 'UsManyDead' for taking interest in my case. The answers are as below :
1. Yes, I have gold card, for now its useless. Because as I know we need the gold card only if we are going to install a rom that is different from the current cell CID.
In my case I have already changed my CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001 and any generic RUU supports HTC__001 so there is no need of gold card in my case.
2. Any custom rom can not be installed due to fact that cell is no more rooted.
Only PB***.zip or Ruu can solve the problem. I have tried almost all the roms and ruu from shipped-roms. but they give 2 types of errors as I mentioned in my first post. I have also tried 2.29.405.5 many times but no success.
I know the options are becoming very few , but I hope that I will pass through this failure from you and xda community users.
Any other advice will be welcomed.
Thanks
Hello once again. I just read a little more about your problem, which is very rare but found some good threads you should read and try.
REMEMBER TO READ THEM IN FULL ( FROM FIRST PAGE TILL THE LAST ONE ) and maybe post your problem there, might be easier to get help.
First thread: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 ( even if it is for bricked SLCD, something in there might actually help, for example how to get the PB99IMG.zip from a RUU file)
Second thread (a continuation of the first): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734
Third thread (where I actually found your exact problem): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000385 . Someone explains some kind of "voodoo" to be done to repair the error you get, and there are positive results, and I think you can use the first 2 thread to get the PB99IMG.zip.
Give it a try and remember to read them in full to understand. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi mate don't know if this can help you....i got usb bricked with my rooted and s-off desire. I flashed a an RUU thinking it would solve my issue but of course it just left me with a USB Brick unrooted! You can't write to that and no access with Adb. I got great help from Unrevoked page which fixed me by getting me back to root.
I summarised the process here:

Thank all of you for taking interest in my problem.
At the end I have got success BUT with failure. Here is my story.
1. Erased and Flashed with RiffBox with CID=11111111 (super id)
2. Kept cell phone in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
3. Installed the new ROM from PB99IMG.zip (PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip ) without any error.
4. Kept cell phone again in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
5. Started the cell phone for the first time and executed setup and went till the Home screen fine.
6. Tried some games and flash intensive web sites, and ohhh the phone rebooted.
It rebooted again and again. Untill I pulled out the battery and put it again after 30 minutes, but was unable to reach home screen.
Again kept the cell phone in refrigerator and phone works for a short time before it starts reboot loop.
So the main problem is rebooting now.
I spent nearly 16 hours on net , reading forums/posts for solution but at the end found that there is no solution except the motherboard replacement.
I am in PK and here is no HTC service center. I bought it second hand so dont have any warranty card/info with me.
So its just like a piece of scrape for me.
Anyways again thank you all for the great help. May be this refrigerator solution could work for anyone.
Thanks,
Ali
Have you tried changing cid back to orange and flashing correct ruu?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
No, I didn't try to change the CID to orange. And there is no orange related PB** or RUU on shipped roms.
I dont think Orange have done some customization in kernel or any other part.
I have seen threads running the generic version on orange brand phone. So it shouldn't be a issue, however bootloop problem is not related to either generic or orange brand rom , its related to motherboard.
Have you seen any post in which generic rom is initiating bootloop while the orange rom solved it ?
Thanks,
Ali
No Ali, I haven't. Seeing that you are in the dead end, I think that its worth trying everything from scratch. Don't know much about cid change, but could it be that cid is in a few places and now that you've changed it it sort of fights itself ? Will have a look into all this a bit later, I'm far from guru, but with a bit of luck should be able to find some info.

Hi tinky1,
Well, I have complete nandroid backup (boot, data, recovery and system images). I did it when I was rooted by unrevoked (clockworkmod).
Currently I have installed stock rom '2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_ release_159811', so how can I restore my earlier backup (i will again change the CID to orange, no issue) ?
Please remember i can not root now due to boot loop problem.
Any suggestion ?
Ali
So what do you actually have working? Bootloader, fastboot, recovery? Does phone bootloop when (if you can) you go into one of these?
Currently I have working fastboot and hboot. Recovery is not working , it stuck on HTC green logo.
Normal phone startup is also not functional, it reboots itself before it reaches 'Quietly Brilliant' logo.
I have managed to install Cyanogenmod 7 but the bootloop problem still exist. Analyzing the problem.

Hi guys,
This is my first thread here in XDA, so, forgive me by a possible mistake.
I recently bought a HOX, the seller said that is the international version.
I'm in 4.0.3, with software version 1.29.707.11 (already checked for updates, but phone says its up to date)
So, sometimes when i turn my wifi on, he doesn't connect in my network (already saved), i go to wifi settings, put to scan, and, aparently, the phone don't scan the networks and doesn't found my network too.
Obviously, im on the range of the network, and don't have that factory problem with bad wifi signal.
And, sometimes too, phone takes a lot of time to get carrier signal, so i turn on plane mode, then turn off, and finally get carrier signal.
My question is: is this normal? What can i try to fix it? (Thinked on a factory reset)
I don't tried anything yet.
If anyone could help, i'll appreciate and if the thread is on the wrong place, please move it
Just try flashing the RUU, which will delete everything and return it to stock.

The difference is that it will reflash the ROM from scratch, it's the first thing HTC do when you take your phone for repair. It's very safe (when flashed with decent remaining battery) and very thorough.
Check the Shipped ROM sticky in the development section.
I am searching about the Rom Update Utility, but i'm not finding a good tutorial to follow, explaining the whole process.
If anyone could help me in the process :laugh:
Edit:
Thanks again Pope! I'll look in dev section
You just have to charge the phone, put the phone in fastboot mode (hold down the volume down key when switching on the phone, then navigate from there), plug phone into Windows PC and double click RUU.
You may want to do an "adb backup" (you'll have search for this) beforehand, flash RUU, test and then restore.

This "restore" you mean in the end, its the factory reset in the phone? Or another restore?
Don't need a backup, i got the phone 2 days ago hehehe
My HOX is totally clean.
No unlocked bootloader, no root.
This will not be a problem doing the flash with the stock RUU right?

Ben sorry for tons of questions hehe
I'm reading a tutorial, and on it said that i need my CID number, in order to download the correct RUU file for the correct region of my HOX. How can i know if this RUU you posted is the correct for my HOX?
I've tried to get my CID number (downloaded the fastboot flasher tool) but when i put the cid command he returns: CID > None lol
I Know that my HOX is from Shangai (has a SH in serial number) and got my MID number.
So, i just need to know which file i need to download, the right one of course hehehe
If i will need the CID to know, i'll ask for the files for fastboot commands (i don't found them)
If not, just confirm the link you posted ealier if its the correct RUU for my case.
PS.: This link posted is only for premium users, and i don't have a premium acc, can you provide in another mirror?
You can't flash the wrong RUU, the phone won't let you.
You don't need your CID as you are not unlocked, knowing that you are 1.29.707.x is enough. It's the right RUU.
I'm sure you don't need me to hold your hand whilst you use google to find that file somewhere else. The sticky dev thread I previously mentioned will likely have a ton of mirrors for the file.
So.. i'll look fot the file in other places.
Today, i've connected in my wifi network, and the phone says there's an update...
It's the same update announced days ago, but in my case with a different update number...
Phone has been upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1.
If the problems persist, i will flash the RUU anyway, but, because of this update, nothing changes right? The RUU file you posted still valid for my HOX?
Not any more, you've updated your hboot, so you'll need an updated RUU (you can't install on older hboot, packaged with an older RUU).
You're lucky:

Hello guys,
I'm not gonna keep it short, because this is really important.
I recently bought my HTC One V and rooted it today. After a lot of trying, I flashed Clockworkmod on it.
After doing this, I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, so I wiped all system data, etc.
This went wrong, because I did something wrong that did not allow me to flash custom ROMs.
So here's my problem: I'm stuck! I cannot boot my phone, I get the HTC logo with some text like this:
"This version is distributed for developer purposes only...", etc.
So, I don't have any OS installed on my phone, I can only access my fastboot menu, CWM and stuff like that.
I tried installing other ROMs but it just does not work. This proves I screwed it up.
Then, after 2 hours of intensive Googling, I found this thing called RUU recoveries. I tried to find it for my HTC One V. Then, after another 30 minutes of Googling, I found it, downloaded it (took me another hour or so with the stupid server), opened it but got the error that I got the wrong version of the RUU Update Utility.
I cannot find the right one, I think it doesn't exist, because I live in the Netherlands and my carrier is Vodafone.
PLEASE HELP ME. How can I do a factory reset with the stock firmware? Please I really need help because I just bought this phone and I'm just a teenager so I can't afford another one.
ALSO PLEASE RESPOND ONLY IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

Hello ofadlaoui,
I might be able to help if you can give me some information from your fastboot menu. Copy all of the text. It should look something like:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.blah blah blah
RADIO- 1.blah blah blah
eMMC- boot
Some date in 2012, some time
Also as a second thought, did you flash the proper kernel/any kernel at all? That might be the problem that you're facing. Or the proper ROM... anyways, shoot me back a reply and I'll see if I can't find that goshdarn RUU for you.
Cheers, worldindo1.
Some personal notes: The CID for Vodafone NL is VODAPE17. Region code is x.xx.161.xx (Vodafone UK, which I found strange since Vodafone Switzerland-Germany is closer). Just need the hboot & radio versions you have and I can see if I might be able to get you a proper RUU.

eMMC- boot
Some date in 2012, some time
Also as a second thought, did you flash the proper kernel/any kernel at all? That might be the problem that you're facing. Or the proper ROM... anyways, shoot me back a reply and I'll see if I can't find that goshdarn RUU for you.
Cheers, worldindo1.
Some personal notes: The CID for Vodafone NL is VODAPE17. Region code is x.xx.161.xx (Vodafone UK, which I found strange since Vodafone Switzerland-Germany is closer). Just need the hboot & radio versions you have and I can see if I might be able to get you a proper RUU.

Hey man,
First of all, thanks for replying. To be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about, as I am an Android amateur. I only used the Update Utility of HTC to try and flash the RUU but it didn't work. Anyway, I booted my device in HBOOT and this is what it says:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
RADIO-3831.21.00.19_M
eMMC-boot

Hit thanks if I helped u...
Your device isn't bricked because it boots.. Just download the right kernel and the right rom and flash it according to the guides that can be found on this forum
Chill out man, yours is not bricked.
If you're using HOV CDMA, search custom rom in CDMA/PrimoC section.
But if you're using HOV GSM, then search in GSM/PrimoU section here or here.
Make sure if you choose Sense-based rom (MySense, MIUI, etc), pick the latest Titanium-Kiss kernel by Maxwen.
And if you choose CM10 based rom (PA, CM10, EverVolv, etc), pick the latest HellBoy by Maxwen, or SuperSick kernel by Simonsimons34.
Then after that, just copy the custom rom to your sd card, flash it to your phone.
Choose the right kernel & flash it too.
Voila! Your phone is ready to kick some asses.
Hope it turned out ok. Let us know how it goes. the advice others have given should get you back up and running.

You are on GSM so go pick out from those "here" or "here". If this doesn't work, do not despair as I will try to find the RUU for you. Hopefully it was just an improper ROM or kernel. If one of those ROMs/kernels works get back to me and I'll drop the search but from this point I will be scouring the stinkiest, smelliest, grungiest corners of the internet.
Hello, I'm completely new and completely stuck.
I decided yesterday to root my phone and try and install slim bean following these instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092572
It all seemed to install properly and I thought it was all a piece of cake. However, much like the original poster my phone is now stuck on the HTC logo screen.
I have tried restoring my nandroid backup (if that's the right name/term) but it doesn't help. I have tried all-sorts of other things but none seem to work. So I assumed I must have to use a RUU. I tried to find one that is compatible but I get an error which says the model is incorrect or wrong, or whatever when I use it.
I have pretty much exactly the same fastboot details as the original chap, except for the date is different.
I cannot find an RUU with the same radio numbers (I don't know if that is important), the current one I'm using is the Europe one from here...
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/9187896-post22.html
The H3G UK ones are no longer available. I've also looked on androidfiles RUU page but they seem to have none for HTC One.
I am at a complete loss as to what I can do. You guys seems to have a wealth of knowledge and so I am hoping you'll be able to sort me out, if you can I thank you in advance!

As it said in the OP on the Slim Bean ROM topic, you have to use a CM10 compatible kernel, such as maxwen's kernel. You can find this on One V Original Android Development.
Cm20? Cool!
Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app

Hmmm, I guess I must have downloaded the wrong kernel - I thought I was using the right one. Anyway, it's working now, just to need to get some service signal then I'll be done, I hope.
Thanks!
Hi all
Im reading online that alot of people have the 1.40 "camera overhaul" update, which is supposed to be live in Europe now.
My M9 is on EE UK and was wondering if anyone knows when it will be rolling out from carriers here.
Thanks
I got it last week. Mine is a unbranded/non network M9. Did you get your M9 from EE?

I did yeah. I looked on the EE forum but no answers. I have Sim Unlocked my M9, but Im just a little nervous about doing a "return to stock" and making it unbranded. I know you probably cant go wrong if you get a good guide and follow it, but... hehe... Im a bit nervous.
Also, Im not sure if i can... Im on 1.32.61.15 L 502... doesnt the latest Sunshine 3.17 only support 501 so far?
Hmmm, seems like it's down to EE when they release the update. This is why I didn't get a network HTC this year.
I understand your nervousness about unbranding the phone, although when I did it with my Three M8 it was actually surprisingly easy.

Yeah it looks quite simple actually. but the reason Im nervous is because I "bootlooped" my old crimson M8 a few months back, even though that was due to not removing superSU properly when i tried to unroot it, but HTCs are not like Samsung device with a simple ODIN flash, HTC have made these handsets so hard to work with.. its crazy.
I dont know, I might bite the bullet and unbrand it yet, Im very careful when doing stuff like this so, I can probably do it.
Can you recommend a good back to stock guide

Okay, dont look for "going back to stock", as discussed:
HTCdev unlock (remember this wipes your phone)
Install TWRP from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
do a "proper" backup (as discussed in post 3 of the twrp thread)
install SuperSU
run Sunshine to get s-off
once s-off: "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001"
flash full international unbranded RUU (ie a x.xx.401.x edition) check here and here (post 5 seems to have 1.40.401.8 ruu) ... also RUU will wipe your phone
BTW, read the threads about flashing those large RUUs, you'll either need to use the sdcard method or htc_fastboot.exe
I personally havent tried them, so check those threads for additional info.
remain UNLOCKED and most certainly remain S-OFF
