Follow my guide and use method 3. This will flash back a factory ROM, Dopod or whatever.

hello okkba
thanks for your help and your quick reply. i see that you help a lot of people around here so bless you.
i tried step 3 already.. the problem is that i don't have a "factory rom" that suitble for my device so i tried it with the dopod rom and i get an error cause my device isn't cid unlock. that's why i'm asking for the actual factory rom of htc.

If you "Goldcard" or SuperCID the phone, you can flash ANY factory signed ROM, even the Dopod ROM. I did the same to my phone when I bricked it. Follow the steps closely and copy the RUU_Signed.nbh to the "Goldcard" as CACAIMG.nbh, insert the SD card, turn on the phone and enter bootloader.

hello again..
on the second stage you described:
"You will need a working Donor HTC device with a microSD slot and a microSD card that is smaller than 1GB (will be formatted) to create "goldcard" image using QMAT tools as described below "
maybe the problem is that i don't have a working htc donor device with the original software? the donor htc i have has cooked rom.. do i have to "goldcard" on an original software if the bricked htc isn't super cid?
cause i tried it again exactly as you say but i don't understand whats the problem..

It doesn't matter what OS, software, or device you use. As long as it's Windows Mobile. Cooked, factory, smoked, modded, doesn't matter. The point is to write the Goldcard image to the SD card. Thats all. nothing else matters.

ok.. i'll try again tomorrow and see if it works..
thanks for your patience..

[Q] Installing the basic HTC ROM

Hi,
I'm a newbie on this forum and hope you experts can help me with my question.
I have searched extensively, but cannot find the answer to my question although I am sure this must be a reasonably common one.
I have recently bought an HTC Desire from Vodafone in Germany (although I use English as the system language on the phone). The case is non branded, but the software seems to be (the Vodafone logo is shown on bootup and the phone tells me that the software version is 2.1-update1). I have nothing against Vodafone, but they still don't have a ROM available for Froyo and I would love to upgrade to that version.
I have found a nunmber of links, but would like to make sure I am not chasing a red herring here, so my quesitons are:
1. Do I really need to root the phone in order to install the ROM?
2. Can somebody help me understand which is the right ROM for me? I am looking for the standard HTC 2.2 for the Desire.
And here are the links I found:

Thanks to everybody who can help me,

You do not need to root your phone to install RUU updates. This is only necessary for (most) custom ROMs.
This is the official 2.2 FroYo update:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
You will however need to create a goldcard in order to install this, because you have a branded phone. This update will also un-brand your phone.

Hi Lunatic,
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I've found the instrauctions on how to create a gold card. Could you piint me to a link which explains how to install the ROM once I have the gold card ready please?
Thanks,
Adrien

1. Put the Goldcard in
2. Boot up the device
3. Start the exe
4. Follow the on-screen instructions

Hi ljesh,
Thaks for your reply: I love this forum!
Do you mean I need to copy the ROM on the gold card insert this one in the phone or should I start the exe from my desktop?
I apologise for being so slow.
Adrien

No, the ROM is in exe format. So after you follow my 2 (3) steps (create the goldcard - don't have to put anything in it, place it in the device, then boot it) just execute the saved file on your PC while the phone is connected through USB. A window like this (not exactly like that, it's just for illustration) will appear and you will need to tick some boxes, understand the risk (it will delete everything from your phone: contacts, sms messages, settings... EVERYTHING) of doing this and wait for the phone to update itself.

You need to run the .exe from your desktop, the setup will take care of the rest!
Make sure to backup your data tho, because this will erase everything on the phone!

Brilliant, thanks ljesh. Everything is clear.

Hi Lunatic,
Thanks a lot to you too. I have one last question - and I hate keep on asking -, but I tried downloading the rome from shipped-roms.com, but it's asking me for username and password. Where can I find these?
Thanks,
Adrien

username: shipped
password: shipped

Thanks EddyOS.
Guys you are seriously all great.
Now I'll get down to creating the gold card: I just wish there was a shortcut, the instructions I found (theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/) seem quite lonwinded
Thanks,
Adrien

Try this guide:
http://android.modaco.com/content/general-discussion/305672/creating-a-goldcard/
Longwinded, yes but it works (or I assume it does, never needed a gold card myself)

Thanks EddyoS, this seems clearer than the one I've found.
I'll report back as soon as I've installed the ROM.

Hi, just a quick message to confirm that I've managed to create the goldcard and to update my Desire. I also found this guide which I find easier to follow:

[Q] Un root HTC Bravo...

First off, Yes I have searched more than this site for an answer to the point where my handset would not do anything but go into the recovery menu.
What I want to do is put stock HTC Android on my Desire.
Currently it is rooted but has to be un rooted to go onto works E Mail server. Yes I know it makes no difference but my employer insist on official firmware on handsets.
The handset is a GSM HTC Desire (Bravo)
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP 2-ON
HBOOT-093.0001
CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY v2.5.0.7
I have tried several RUU's only to be told of a boot loader error.
Can some one please tell me how this is done?
I asked my network and they could not help so unless some one can help me im going to have to ask HTC.
THANKS in advance

Hi,
I've seen a few posts that refer to getting the HTC ROM changing it's name to PB99.img (or similar or ...) Then reoot the phone. Try searching the forums for this type of solution. I'm sorry but can't remember where I saw it in here.

Thanks for you input mate

Hmmm,
How would they know if the HTC Sense ROM just happened to be rooted. One could argue that the ROM was a valid HTC ROM. I know it's semantics but ...
The "About phone" would still show HTC as the ROM.
There must already be a variety of ROMs on HTC desires already used in your company.

The Clockwork recovery would give it away mate.

This might work for you Not sure if you have tried it but try again
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named PB99IMG, there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off. (MAKE SURE PHONE IS CHARGED TO AT LEAST 70%++
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

Oh, one more thing, that error you get i think it is because you don't have a GoldCard. You need one to do the above too

Yup, "ERROR 140:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR" The only time you can put a lower bootloader version is when you have a gold card.

The above method posted by Shockem should work. A second method is to just put a gold card in your device and get the latest WWE RUU. Check my signature for the file. Once a gold card is in, it will work. Note that this method unbrands your device, so if you a branded device with visible logos, dont go for this.
Third method is by flashing the OTA zip file you got from your operator if you have it. Again gold card should be in the device. But is is likely that it may also work without since CustID is same. Advantage: preserves branding

So do I still need a gold card even though my device is rooted?

Certainly.........

Point is you say you've tried several RUUs and they dont work..Hence we have to assume it's a branded phone. HTC even brands some phones with the brand HTC (Eg Indian HTCs). To unroot a branded HTC, you need a goldcard.

i had same problem, i was trying for days till i rememberd that i can downgrade hboot, install android 2.1 and ota update froyo. ( if your desire wasnt branded you dont need goldcard). problem was that i couldnt find stock froyo, only eclair
this thread helped me :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
i hope it helps

Point is some people (including me in the past) dont realize that they have a branded phone. There may not be any visible branding. So better be safe than sorry, by creating a goldcard.. Once the device if bricked, you cant (in most cases) create a goldcard

Thank you all so much.
I'll be doing this tonight.

[Q] [Need Help] Pls unroot my Desire 0.93 Boot loader

Hi Folks,
I know there are plenty of thread how to Unroot HTC Desire,
But I havent found it pretty much useful, I am still not be able to unroot
here are my Config of my HTC desire:
froyo 2.2
Baseband 32.44.00.32U.5.09.05.30_2
Kernal: 2.6.32.15
Software number: 2.13.707.2
Bootloader 0.93
My phone is not branded, so there is no need of Gold Card.
pls tell me which ROM i need to install , I am confuse about the Official ROM
I have rooted this phone by Unrevoked3, i have searched all the forums but not be able to identify which ROM i need to install,
if i install the outdated ROM then it will automatically update to FROYO 2.2 by OTA?
Pls clarify , I m in deep trouble,
My phone restart by its own , and not connect to the mobile network and after 2-3 hours connect it Thatswhy i wanna unroot the phone.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Switch off your phone and switch it on again in fastboot mode (buttons on/off + back, simultaneously);Connect your phone to your PC by usb cable.
Use this RUU in order to flash the phone:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release

Won't work without a gold card as the OP is using the Asian ROM, so IS technically branded - but by locale not network
You'll need to use the Asian RUU:
http://hotfile.com/dl/80036791/8a6c...5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe.ht ml

Use this India specific RUU.

I have bought it From Singapore,

I had this problem initially on my SLCD desire 0.93 hboot.
The reason is that it need a custom root file to loaded through unlocker. This is available through XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9245153]

after this it rooted perfectly

Go through this process if all else fails for you.
1. Make a goldcard (google it so you dont have to mess with hex anymore).
2. If your phone isnt branded download the latest ruu (or earlier if you want a lower hboot, but that doesn't matter anymore).
2a. If your phone is branded, find the ruu for your carrier.
3. Optional - if you are rooted, then nandroid, if not, back up apps etc if you want them.
4. Install HTC Sync (for drivers).
5. Put your phone in to fastboot (power + back button).
6. Connect USB and run ruu.
7. Once all that's done, select usb debugging and run unrevoked.
Worked for my messed up Desire!
- If step 6 is giving you hassle, go to device manager, find android and select drivers from a list, there should only be one or two extra.

PS: Thanks everyone who took their time to post and help me

Pls refer to this page , sorry for my poor english.
连接手机和电脑，打开CMD（开始->运行->输入CMD，回车）
这里我一不小心，用了cygwin，所以显示上和你的会不太一样，没影响，仅仅是显示不太一样而已
输入：adb shell（确定你装好了adb，不过，你能遇到这个问题，应该就是装了吧）
然后
输入命令：/system/__unrevoked_su（使用unrevoked传至手机中的东东来获取root执行权限）
输入：cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 >/sdcard/misc.img（将misc分区镜像导出到sd卡上的misc.img文件中，强调一次，cat后面是有一个空格的！）
输入：getprop ro.cid（获取正确的CID号）
上一命令会有一个返回值：11111111（这个仅作为举例，请记下你获取到的值）
输入：exit（退出root）
输入：exit（退出adb shell）
输入：adb pull /sdcard/misc.img（将misc.img文件复制到CMD执行路径下，例如图中是Kitchen这个文件夹中，手动复制亦可，自由变通）
第一步完成了（这个时候没必要把CMD关了，待会还要用的）
现在打开一个十六进制编辑器，我用的winhex（提示镜像文件为磁盘时，选择否）
从0位置开始进行编辑。将上面获得的CID值写入，最后一位以00填充作为结束，如下图
然后就是要把这个misc.img文件重新刷回手机了。
输入：adb push misc.img /sdcard/new-misc.img（将该好的misc.img传到SD卡中，命名为new-misc.img，手动复制亦可，自由变通）
输入：adb shell
输入：/system/__unrevoked_su
输入：/data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/new-misc.img（将修改过的misc.img文件重新刷回手机）
输入：exit
输入：exit
然后现在再按照unrevoked的使用方法再来一遍，不出意外的话，一切OK了。
其实以上总结一下，很简单：从手机中将misc分区镜像弄出来，并获得正确的CID号，然后写入得到的镜像文件中，刷回。搞定

Try this version of unrEVOked:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/dd5yh9

As I mentioned above in Chinese
1. Pull out the misc partition to a misc.img
2. Write the correct CID into this misc.img file
3. flash back
You can traslate the Chinese into English with google traslate

Try unrevoked version 3.21 seems to work fine
