Hello there,
I need some help returning to stock since I've gone too far with the desire and no idea how to go back.
I have an orange branded desire which is rooted and S-off'd and I'd like to unroot it. I'm not too concerned about taking it back to orange branding, just a generic RUU would do (if it's possible, because I'm not interested in goldcards). Right now I'm on Android 4.4 and the HBOOT version says "6.93.1002"
I'm fairly competent with fastboot commands if necessary and just need help with taking this phone back to stock. If you have any more questions let me know and I'll answer.
Thanks in advance
Use the 2.3.3 GB RUU
If you want to be full S-ON unrooted, you may need to flash the alpharev downgrader first before flashing the RUU

I'm not too fussed about S-ON unrooted, quite happy to keep it S-off without going through all of that. Is this the file HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip
because I couldn't find the one you named in the stickied thread. This came from the #resources section.

Yes thats the one. Just extract the zip file and the ruu is inside. The one in bortaks guide i think he named it 2.3.3, its definitly there anyway

Hi,
Quick question hoping you can help with.
I have S-OFF (Previously Rooted) and recently installed the latest Gingerbread 2.50 WWE RUU (with a Goldcard).
Does the S-OFF mean I can install a customer ROM without having Root?
Is it possible to change the CID? I have a Vodafone UK CID so don't get OTA. (OK, its a second question! Couldn't resist!).
And Finally (really this is the final one!), I can't find instructions to revert my phone to original state, i.e. re-branded to Vodafone UK with S-ON for warranty. Can you point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks in advance...

With s-off and goldcard already in hand, you may downgrade it to stock 2.36.405.8 to gingerbreak or simply 1.32.405.6 and then flash any custom rom that comes across your mind. Your cid can be changed it the Oneclick Radio Tool.
To return to stock vodafone branded rom, just read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876&highlight=vodafone+original+img
If I'm not mistaken, S-On can be applied just as normal DHD should. Please do make reference to the stickies in Android Dev section.

Moving to Q&A
I want to S-On my DHD. I couldnt find any thread in the devolopment forum for it. It was tmobile branded phone until yesterday, then i downgraded it using glod card to 1.32 and then the s-off and then custom ROMS. But now I am unable to find any thread relating to S-onn the device.
please direct me in right direction.
Thanks
1) You should find the right ruu for your device, run it to restore the system and hboot (I think the Eng S-Off will be S-On after this)
2) You run the tool for Radio S-Off again, and check Radio S-On. And run the process. I'm not sure about the CID option in the tool.
Then you will be good.
Use this tool for easy s-on. Read instructions first.
I am going to have my htc wildfire taken to htc for repair and i need to reset everything. it is currently rooted and s-offed and on the generic rom. please can help me unroot this, turn it back to s-on and change it to vodafone uk rom. Also would there be anything else to do. thanks and i appreciate it if you help.
1. revert back to s-on guide

2. For stock rom, flash appropriate RUU. Look here:

Thanks im on s-on now. but i dont know which ruu to use for english vodafone.
Well you're right, there seems to be none on the interwebs. Bad luck.
The best you can do is WWE
would this be the same as the normal one
EDIT
im sending it to htc for repair. would it matter if i had the generic ruu instead of the vodafone uk one?
Hi there,
I have rooted Desire with a Gingerbread ROM. It is still S-ON, but I would like to have it S-OFF. I've looked at Revolutionary, but it requires a stock ROM.
The last time I tried to install a stock ROM, it crashed on that warning screen (/!\). I sent it to get fixed (had some other issues as well) and received it with a stock ROM.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but discussion around here has led me to believe that RUU's come with hboot and hboot can't be downgraded. And so I figured the problem might have been that I was trying to install a RUU with a lower version hboot.
So this time I want to be sure the RUU comes with hboot 0.93, but the RUU descriptions don't mention this.
TL;DR:
I could be completely wrong, but I think I need a RUU with hboot 0.93. Anyone?
hi im using this one but you need to be unbranded or you need to use a goldcard... see bortak's guide for more info
Thanks. Worked great!
