Hi,
I have tried several ROMs on my desire but none of them is working perfectly.
The only rom that somehow makes it possible to work is dj-droid
Leedroid and Chinese rom kept on crashing
The phone keeps crashing if I use it to much. (run a demanding app like waze or o game)
It even crashed when I use the internet for too long.
All of this made me come to a conclusion that there is something wrong with the hardware (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)
Now I want to get my phone to his stock condition.
I know that I need to download something called a RUU file.
I found this thread, but I can’t figure which ROM should I D\L.
I suppose it should be something marked as WWE and the numbers are the radio version.
From what I can see my radio version is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 (found in setting-> about phone -> Software information Baseband version) is it really the radio or I’m looking at the wrong place?
Can I use any RUU file is there a specific RUU should I D\L because in the thread I found the highs radio version is 32.30.00. If I need a specific ROM can some please point to the right direction.
Also I’ll be happy is some will explain to me what are the steps to install the RUU file, or is it same thing as installing a custom ROM ?
Please feel free to throw any other suggestions that might help to set my desire to it’s proper condition.
Thank in advance
Mark
P.S
I had froyo 2.2 and my HBOOT is 0.93.001
In order to return to stock, just connect the phone to the pc and run the RUU (it's just an exe file). The latest OFFICIAL European rom is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828519
That will upgrade HBOOT and Radio, you really need that. In case you'll need to get root access, just download unrevoked (google it), but remember to uninstall HTC Sync in case you have it installed before running it.
After rooting, just reflash the rom of your choice and keep the new radio, just don't change it, it's superb.
Hint: before flashing any rom on top of each other, remember to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and user data, so you won't get any crash.
To restore data I suggest MyBackup Pro, gives less issues than Titanium Backup.
You need a gold card to flash anything other than the one that originally came with the phone. Radio is irrelevent

Radio is responsible of many crashes: an old radio not compatible with the camera app gives FCs.
Why would he need a goldcard if he already rooted?? To go back to stock just enter in the bootloader, select fastboot, connect via usb, start the RUU and you're done.
Thanks,
I'll try the attched RUU and update with the result.
BTW
is the there posibility i'll brik my phone during this procedure ?
Oh and i anderstand that i need a goldcard only if my phone is/was branded.
Ok, I managed to restore the phone but after the installation it entered to a boot loop.
I let the phone rest for 2 or 3 minutes and it started up perfectly.
I suspect that if I'll stress my it's get too hot and crushes.
Any suggestion how can I confirm this theory ?
How did you get it out that boot loop? Resting? Did you take out the battery or smth?
Yes,
I had to to that several time before the phone started to work.

If the OP has a branded phone and wants to flash a stock unbranded RUU you need a gold card. Radio is irrelevent in the flashing of an RUU as you get the correct radio for the ROM included in it
I am just asking because I am trying to flash the Rooted , A2SD+ version of this ROM and after flash it just keeps looping (when the little green android logo appears and the phone vibrates) and does that on and on and on. Maybe I have to wait more.
Which ROM have you come from? IF it wasn't a Sense-based ROM you'll have to do a full wipe before booting

I came from exactly this one (latest OTA). It was rooted and as clockwork recovery did not work , I flashed Amonra. I did a full wipe, I formatted the SD card and then partitioned it, I did everything from scrap. I am almost certain I am missing astep or smth. Phone shows S-ON, maybe amonra doesnt get read of Security...?? I am not very good at this stuff, but any other ROM I flash works, except for the latest OTA (rooted and with A2SD- there is a post here on the forum containing it).
OR you mean a full wipe AFTER flashing, and before the first boot??
Chapter 2 – Return of the Desire
Hi again
First of all I want to thank you all for your assistance I had no problem to activate the warranty.
It seems that the constant reboot issue was a know issue of the A8181 series so my original phone was sent to HTC.
Finely I got the phone back and according to what I've been told it's a new device.
When I tried to use the phone I noticed that the APN settings were not transformed from the SIM card to the phone
(did not had that problem before I shipped the phone).
I tried to ran the RUU I used before and It seemed like I'm also going to gain an upgrade from 2.10.405.2 to 2.29.405.2 .
With a heart full of joy I'm pressing the next button and when the status bar reaches the "updating signature" I get the " Error [131] customer ID" error.
Noting I do seems to help fixing the problem.
I managed to root the phone, I flashed the LeeDroid rom, but i still can't run the RUU.
Any suggestions how do I fix the problem ?
I don't think my phone is branded as I bought an online store and from my provider.
Thanks in advance

Just rooted, radio s-off and eng s-off my DHD and flashed an Android Revolution ROM.
Since flashing I'm unable to receive any calls, even though i have full signal and other functions like e-mail are still working
Anyone have any idea why this has happened??
I've already had to unroot and return to stock one DHD this week to give back to Orange because i thought it was due to a faulty sim or device. Now thinking it has something to do with rooting and flashing as the problem occurs after doing so.
Any help would be much appreciated, don't really want to be ringing up Orange yet again
you can try to flash another rom.
if this doesn't work, try flashing the 1.32 WWE RUU.
if the problem still occurs after flashing the RUU, it's probably a faulty hardware
try to :
1. flash another radio , maybe the recommended one from the rom itself.
if not working,
2. try to flash another rom
if not working,
3. try put other simcard and making call.
if that's also not working,
revert back to stock, and send to htc.
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.

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, I've got a Desire HD phone which I got unlocked and unbranded from the start and it came with some version of Froyo out of the box. Since then I've updated it through via wifi and currently it's on GB 2.3.5 and after the last update the phone has been telling me that it has no updates available. Furthermore, I have never flashed or rooted this phone so it's still a virgin
Further information on my phone is as follows:
Android Version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense Version: 3.0
Software Number: 3.13.707.4
AND some pics of the specs are in the attachment, please check them out.
Now due to some performance issues I wanted to reinstall either 2.3.5 or lower version of gingerbread or if possible the latest version of Froyo available for my phone. I have already tried restarting, taking out the battery, doing factory reset, wiping the phone and sdcard both from within the phone settings and from the HBoot and Recovery menu as well to no avail.
So I would like to ask you guys for steps and possible links to correct RUU for re-flashing the stock version of unbranded 2.3.5 or lower version of gingerbread or if possible the latest version of Froyo. I don't want to mess with the phone too much by going into the rooting and installing custom ROMS just yet, but that would be my last resort if all else fails.
I'm a newbie so please be gentle in replies
Thanks in advance!
STOP STOP STOP DONT DO ANYTHING!
don't flash any froyo ruu or wwe this will mess your hboot and you'll be in a whole world of hurt.
If you've done a factory reset you shouldn't be having performance issues as that takes you back to factory condition of course.
How ever
Your first course of action now should be goto market and get emmc checker and see if you have the bad chips (sain I think).
If you dont have issue I suggest you do HTCDEV unlock and root your phone or flash a new rom, ive only used SVHD which is ics sense rom which is pretty damn awesome, but im moved on to samsung galaxy s4 (unrooted) now so haven't used newest version yet.
Have a look around the dev forum there are a few really good guides .
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I recommend getting s-off and unlocking the HBoot to get the best performance from your phone. I must say that this is not for the faint-of-heart and things sometimes can and do go wrong .
I bought a second hand Desire HD running stock Telus GB for very little money so I didn't have much to lose if I pooched the phone. If you do decide to unlock the HBoot, make sure you upgrade to 2.00.0029 first.
What performance issues were you having?

Ran that app and it says " Brick Bug? NO. Sane Chip "
So I'm guessing my phone is good, right?
I've been having some major bugs popping up on my phone ever since I upgraded to the 2.3.5 update. My phone camera gets stuck while taking pictures, at times it has restarted my phone when I take a picture, the GPS/Location keeps popping up at every boot and I can't seem to disable it, the Connect To Computer message which used to let me select in which mode I want to connect my phone to the PC has stopped showing up and the phone only connects in charging mode to the PC, the speaker phone keeps turning itself on whenever I make a call or receive a call. I've read up on all these bugs on many forums and tried all the solutions to no avail, I have already done factory resets, battery pulls, cleaning of the usb connector, tried different usb cables on different computers, formatted the memory card etc, but none of these things worked for me.
So I'm left with one choice only, that is to erase everything on this phone and flash a fresh ROM onto it to see if it fixes the issue. And just to be on the safe side I want to install anything lower than 2.3.5 since that's when all these bugs popped up one by one for me. And I don't want to root my phone just yet or unlock it or do any experiments with it yet.
So my question is, how do I backup my current ROM in case if anything goes wrong I could revert back to this one and then how do I flash an official earlier version of GB compatible with my phone and where to get this ROM. Since my phone came unbranded and unlocked, I'm assuming the WWE versions would work well for me right? I once saw in my phone somewhere that it told me I have htc_asia_WWE version on my phone, if that helps. But I would rather get an English only version which has no other language settings in it, like chinese, vietnemese etc etc which my phone currently has.
Thanks in advance!

I guess you could run the RUU but since you think its wwe_asia it will be tricky to get a proper link for your RUU.I'd suggest unlocking the BL and if you're only after the stock ROM, flash Android Revolution HD 6.6, it's stock.First you need to upgrade the HBOOT though, you need .0029 for the unlocking process.You unlock the BL via HTC's site afterwards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38947050&postcount=10
Download HBOOT Update Kit and rom.zip from attachments there.Put the rom.zip exactly in C, and the update kit doesn't really matter, aslong as it's in a folder.Make sure you have your drivers installed, found here , install them.Run the hboot update.bat, but turn on usb debugging first.

I did get a RUU which meets my specs exactly, or so I think:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_234022_signed.exe
I ran it, updated my phone, it's the same version which is already on my phone, it completed without any issues, but the bugs are still there. So I'm assuming it didn't really reinstall the software from scratch, it just updated the software without making much changes to it, pretty much like a factory reset, right???
Can you please tell me why we need to unlock the HBoot??? Is it to enable us to flash custom roms???
What I want to do is erase the 2.3.5 GB software completely from my phone so it has no trace of it, then install stock/untouched 2.3.3 GB or any other GB version compatible with my phone. So please provide steps and insight into this process.
Thanks

Download HBOOT Update Kit and rom.zip from attachments there.Put the rom.zip exactly in C, and the update kit doesn't really matter, aslong as it's in a folder.Make sure you have your drivers installed, found here , install them.Run the hboot update.bat, but turn on usb debugging first.

Updated and unlocked my Hboot and now it's on 29 with S-Off.
I flashed CWM recovery, installed SuperUser and flashed the latest version of SVHD and rebooted but phone won't start, after the HTC logo with a white background, the screen goes black as if the ROM can't boot.
Could this be a SuperUser issue or a S-Off issue? I'm not sure if SVHD requires S-On to function properly and it's nowhere mentioned on the thread either.
Advice required :crying:

Never mind your actually s-off...
Did you do full wipe before flash?
Apparently you really should be using 4ext recovery on dhd as clockwork doesnt quite do the job right?.

Choose full wipe in aroma installer. i recommend you to used SVHD 1.70 then upgrade OTA 1.73. does not flash version 1.74. this got so much error.

Flash 4ext, wipe everything and reflash 1.7.0, and then update to 1.7.3.CWM never wiped my partitions properly, it blows compared to 4ext.
Hi,
I have a huge problem with my One M8, heres are the details:
I bought my M8 from a well known seller on eBay Germany (rebuy.de) in February or March 2015... they had listed it as a software modified phone. I bought it having known that, I'd fix it using help from xda. When I fist checked it, it had a corrupted OS... I checked it's CID, it was T-MOM101 (Telekom Germany). After searching for a RUU everywhere I realised there was none. I installed a custom recovery, downloaded a TWRP nandroid Lollipop backup and the matching Lollipop firmware for T-MOB101 from a german site, unlocked bootloader and finally Nandroid restored the device. It booted up into the OS and I was happy for getting it running.
My joy was not to last long.... Rondom apps started crashing like crazy on the installed latest Lollipop firmware 4.19.111.2 ( S-ON M8). Got app crashing messages daily.... I had to reboot to get them working again but after some time another random app crashed then I had to reboot again or update that particular app if an update is available, to get it working again.
So far I've tried the original sense rom (TWRP Restore), many custom roms (ViperOne M8, Google Play Edition ROM, InsertCoin SkyDragon etc)... non seemed to be stable for my M8.
I had had enough, I thought by converting to SuperCID and restoring a WWE RUU would liberate me from my misery, so I went on to purchase the SunShine S-Off. I S-Off'd my M8 and restored using the RUU. Didn't help
Same behaviour persists on the WWE Rom too... app crashes driving me crazy... feel like throwing the M8 out of my window
Is there a genius who could help me fix my M8? Would really like to enjoy the M8.
Thanks in advance.
current state : Super CID, S-Off, Stock WWE 5.0.1 ROM

Every time I flash a rom, I use TWRP to wipe everything, even the internal storage and also use the format: "yes" option.
I just downgraded to KitKat 4.4.4 WWE using a RUU, lets see how this rom treats me.
I also heared about the issue, that high version jumps may cause problems, too. You could try to flash the official RUUs in chronological order. Starting with the oldest version to the latest...
Good luck!
