Hy,
After playing with almost all custom ROMs i decided that i want the stock experience...and there is the main problem. I tried ROMs from Shiped Roms (Bravo) but they dont work (error saying that i have to find ROM for my device, and on the Desire in recovery it says that the Main version installed is newer than the one i want to install (2.10***)...My Desire is from Tele2, basically stock ROM, nonbranded, unlocked so i donnt need goldcard...but i do need ROM that i cann put on him and put him back to the state how i bought it...any ideas?

Hey, a few weeks ago I flashed the Cyanogen Mod to my Htc Desire and it works fine. But I wondered how I could flash it back to Android 2.2 which was installed before?

Search the RUU on the link posted at bottom (I think Desire is Bravo), but first READ THAT YOU MUST MAKE SURE IT CAN BE ROOTED AGAIN, BECAUSE MAYBE NOT ALL THE LATEST VERSIONS CAN BE ROOTED. OF COURSE, THIS IS IF YOU WANT TO ROOT EVER AGAIN.
It's an .exe to run on Windows, and connect the phone.
You can also look for an stock rom flashable from Recovery, which is more recommended

hey guys, i just got my htc one s from ebay.
and it seems like its branded by t-mobile. so i have some useless apps which i dont want to have. even the browser is branded
now i'm asking myself, if i should flash a ROM from an unbranded htc one s and to get mine so unbranded too. (but i have no idea where i can find an unbranded one s ROM)
or is this a bad idea at all and gives me some hidden disadvantages?
i know i can just remove some system apps but e.g. the browser i dont really want to remove and i cant get the brand out of him.
i hope you know what i mean and can help.
PS.: sorry for my not perfect english
if you want to keep your current stock ROM, get root and use titanium backup to remove all the bloatware..
If you want to flash a custom ROM, choose something just like stock, For example Zero One S ROM (nice stock ROM but themed) Or virtuous ROM (with sense) Or even Modaco (hasnt been updated in a while)
There are others too. Including Senseless ROMs..
Make a nandroid before you do anything.. if something goes wrong, restore it
but i cant remove the branding in the browser with uninstalling system apps. this would remove the whole browser.
and custom rom i dont want either to be honest. the past with my lg optimus one showed me that in custom roms alsways something isnt working right.
do you have a link for me where i can download the original one s firmware without branding stuff? this would be the best i think.
download an unbranded RUU, use the methods to extract the rom.zip modify it to suit your device and flash that..
Or just remove all the branded stuff of your phone and re install the stock unbranded apps.. For example, delete the browser (dont know how this is branded but) and get the browser apk from another ROM and install it on yours
be quicker and simpler to do that
thx for your help but i just found a clean untouched ROM.
now if i root my phone with this method (i just also found) i can install clockworkmod and then backup my temporary system and flash the clean rom, right?
You sure can
okay, it failed
I dont get root acces with this method. and with the install-superboot-windows.bat either
i only have CWM now, but no root...
and flashing the stock rom (which already is rooted) failed. it just doesnt start.
I dont use superboot. did you flash the root zip file ??
just flash a custom ROM there are several out there that are identical to stock..
ok, i made a mistake. i wanted to flash the ROM buts its a nadroid and i have to restore it. now with restoring it woked fine.
so everything is fine now, rooted phone + no branding.
thx anyways
Hey guys! Just a quick question, in the past few days, I have rooted and unlocked my AT&T HTC One X. After losing my mind over trying to install the Android Revolution HD Rom, I ended up with a error (Status 0/1) Then, I tried to install LeeDroid's Rom, but I ended up with another error when installing (Assert Failed).
So, I decided that I would just go back to the Stock Rom, ReLock the phone, and also Unroot it. Now I am completely back where I started. My software version is 1.73, which I am assuming is the latest version because there are no updates available when I check. So, my question is: Can you install Custom Roms on the AT&T version of the HTC One X when Unlocked and Rooted?
Maybe I've just had bad luck and gave up, but it seems like I always ended up with a problem when trying to install a custom rom. Thanks for the help guys.
Hi,
I just sent my One S to Vodafone because of the chipping issue (it wasn't very much but if they change it it would be nice) and I expect to get a new flashed phone back from them.
At the moment I have (or more had) the Virtuos 1.4.0 Rom installed because I kinda like the Sense look&feel more than the AOSP way but I wanted to have the 3-dot menu mod.
As the Mod is now available for odexed 1.78 ROMs and the Virtuos ROM isn't updated I'm thinking about keeping the stock ROM, clean it in parts with the ROM Cleaner and then apply the Mod (and maybe some other also) to still get OTA Updates.
My Question now is: What does the phone need to get the OTA Updates?
Somewhere I read that it would need the default recovery, is this true? and what else does it need? I want to have CWM to make nandroids etc. - would it be necessary to unlock the bootloader, flash CWM and reflash the default recovery if there are OTAs?
Also I'm thinking about changing the phone from a branded Vodafone one to the default HTC Eu version like this. Does this make it possible to receive OTA from HTC after flashing an RUU and what do I have to consider?
With an official ruu (eg. EU) you should always get updates. Although devs update moreoften.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA

Thank you for the answer!
But what can you modify and still get OTA Updates? I'm thinking as said about if the CWM as Recovery etc. affects the "OTA-Ability"
You need stock recovery, Stock ROM, All the stock bloatware. you may even need re locked bootloader.
its easier to run an RUU or wait for ROM devs to include the update into the ROM

Okay, so no chance to modify it a little bit without affecting the OTA ability
I have a nandroid of the default ROM so then I think I should be able to make an OTA by restoring the nandroid, flashing the signed stock recovery and then give it a try?! - As said the Phone is brandet so flashing a RUU would be a little bit more riskier
Mh... I'll just try it when the net OTA is there
My Problem now just is that the Virtuos ROM isn't up to date and every other ROM doesn't fit my needs
The MoDaCo is very "*****y" (doesn't want to boot sometimes) and misses the "Facebook for HTC Sense" and "Twitter for HTC Sense" apps...
Oh and if somebody is interested:
I got my phone changed without any discussion from Vodafone. They just sent me a new one and the delivery boy took my old back to Vodafone.
you could certainly try the Nandroid way ! lots have people have successfully done it this way
Hi,
I've recently had to replace my phone with another SENSATION 4G (bought second-hand, but new). I was originally running an older version of ARHD Gingerbread on my old SENSATION 4G and it was working great. The new phone came with a stock GB, so I decided to go ahead and initiate the ICS OTA update for my phone, but somehow in the middle, it failed. So what happened is that I corrupted my stock ROM and at the same time never had a chance to make a Nandroid backup. I then downloaded ARHD 6.7 ICS and sucessfully installed the custom ROM (followed all procedures to make sure my firmware and radio is updated), BUT everytime I rebooted into first boot, the screen would freeze at the Beats Audio logo (even tried leaving it on for 30min). I then tried different Sense-based ROMs (Elegancia, Dark Forest, original ICS RRU etc) but every time, it would hang at the boot screen. I thought my phone was bricked, but to my surprise, I was able to install smaller AOSP & AOKP based ROMs, like CM9 and Touchcream 2.1, and successfully boot and use them. I really want to be able to use Revolution HD roms to take advantage of my wifi calling, but now just cannot. I'm not totally new to this, as I've just upgraded my sister's Sensation 4G with ARHD 6.7 w/o any problems. I still don't understand why this is happening to my particular phone. Please let me know if you may have a hint of what the problem could be (could the failed OTA ICS update the root of my problem?). Thanks all.
flash a ICS RUU and see
here is the TMOUS ics ruu click me
