I have a defective HTC Desire and need to unroot to send in for repair. There is still no RUU for the BravoC (CDMA) with US Cellular. Is there a way to unroot it? It says that the S-ON tool in the unrevoked wiki does not work with the CDMA Desire, but is coming soon. Can anyone please help!
Were you able to find a solution?
No luck yet. I tried the unrevoked irc channel but no one was there. Is there anyone out there that might be able to help? I would love to get this thing fixed. I would gladly paypal someone a couple bucks for some beer if they can get me un-rooted!
Flash to alltell ruu and you are unrooted. Only problem is your boot screen will have alltell. No big deal though...most don't notice

The Altell RUU has a newer radio than the USCC radio. Is this an issue for when I send it back for repair?
You guys are refering to these CDMA RUU's right?

I just sent my phone in to US Cellular with it still being set to S-OFF. I did unroot by applying the RUU froyo download. When I called service they did not ever ask me about rooting / s-off but did ask me about other things that would void the warranty. It makes me feel like they will accept the return as is. I will keep you posted once they officially take my returned phone.
I need the US cellular RUU but i cant download it from the website, it takes me back to the support page when i click on download... any1 got the file? n can dropbox it or something??
TIA

can someone help me out please? i rooted my g2 today and about 2 hours later dropped it flat on its face. the lcd broke, i cant see anything on the phone just vibrates when i turn it on.. is there some way using the sdk on the computer to unroot the phone so i can send it for an insurance replacement?
If its anything like the desire you can apply a RUU update.exe that flashes the phone rom, hboot, radio and recovery i.e. stock. However if yours is branded i.e. has your carriers software all over it, you'll need to find the corresponding RUU for that carrier. Also if its branded you'll probably (desire does) need to make a goldcard if you were to apply an unbranded RUU.

EDIT: didn't realise the G2 was T-Mobiles phone (if Im not mistaken and check me on this is the HTC Hero)... erm heres a link to a load of G2 roms, radios etc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4525584
do some researching into tutorials to make sure your doing the right thing. Also to research is whether your phone is GSM or CDMA as you will also have to flash the right RUU for that too.
When you rooted did you only root the rom or also patch a modded recovery too? If its the rom I suppose you could apply just the rom update, however if you applied a recovery you'll have to flash that with a stock one too.
Sorry its a bit confusing...
Hi Guys,
I have a HTC Sensation which I rooted a few weeks ago. Since then, I have gotten a new Samsung Galaxy S2 which I prefer so I planned on selling my Sensation. I was in the process of unrooting the device, following steps I found online.
However, when I tried to install the RUU, it got half way through the process and told me that the RUU was wrong for my handset. Unfortunately at this point the software had already wiped the phone completely so now when I start it up it just sticks on the HTC splashscreen.
The RUU I used was RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed
When I checked my version in About Phone, I had 10.56.9035 .00P but I though they were so close that this must be the correct one.
Can anyone help me?
Try doing it again. Not sure it will work, but to be safe wait someone to confirm this or give another answer.
Might be the incorrect RUU since I assume you didn't change your CID, try to get the exact version that came preloaded in your phone. Should work

Is your sensation branded, european, asian etc. if you but yours from t-mobile you have to get the t-mo one
try pull out your battery and put it back in. and try to boot into recovery (power and Vol down) that worked for me. good luck

Ok, I just managed to check my CID, its VODAP001. Anyone know which RUU I need?

1) you mean Sim - unlocked right? In that case it won't get locked even if you update the phone software.
2)First and important step is using the search function and I known its very hard for you but once in a while try using the search function, trust me you won't get tired

You cannot run an RUU on a boot loader unlocked phone. relock it first.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. I guess I'll hold off 4.0.4 for now...
You need to read some more, before running things willy-nilly without the proper research.
I would advise against running the 2.20 RUU. As I already mentioned, it updates the hboot, which robs you of the ability to flash kernels and radios. There is no upside to it, since you can flash the ROM in other ways. Your phone is bootloader unlocked, and has full ability to flash kernels and radios. These are all good things. Don't take a step backward by flashing the 2.20 RUU.
If all you want is to update the ROM to 2.20, just flash the pre-rooted ROM (which will not replace the hboot): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459
But in fact, these are more recent versions:

Ya know, you guys CAN extract the rom.zip from 2.2x ruu and pull each image and flash them individually to get the 2.2x updates and keep your unlocked 1.09 hboot intact. That way you dont have to do the kernal flashing and what not. It will be fully updated, sbl's, radio everything.:beer:

how I wish I had done this.
Thanks a lot guys. I should have done some research. I bought this phone second hand thinking "unlocked" meant I could use it on other networks --didn't know the previous owner meant he unlocked the bootloader...hahaha...I guess i'll do some research to relock it.

Didn't read a thing I typed, apparently.
No need to relock it. Just run one of the stock rooted or custom ROMs in Development. Flash a new radio if you want.
I'm sorry, i really don't know how to do any of those stuff...
I just got the phone a couple of days ago and i am still waiting on my t-mobile non-gba micro sim that i ordered online, now im really not sure anymore if its unlocked to other networks...
I won't know til that sim card gets here, but in the mean time i'll do some reading on all those stuff you mentioned =)
I went to the HTC site and did a manual update, but I dont have sense 4.1. anyone know if the ATT version will get it?
plz help
I have a at&t one x I bought last night that is unlocked and I am using on telus.
The phone isn't rooted and is running on android 4.0.3 and HTC sence 4.0
When I try to update it nothing happens. My brother has the same phone thro telus and has received updates. I have went to settings about phoneat&t updates but when I search it does not do nothing .
An AT&T phone won't get the updates unless it's on their network it seems. Just download the ruu

Bump. I unlocked my Rogers One X a while back, because I am planning on selling it. Since that time though, I have run an RUU on it. I no longer have another carrier's SIM card to test, so I just want to know if the unlock is permanent , or if it gets relocked when an RUU or factory reset is run.
The SIM unlock is permanent and will survive any RUU or factory reset.

I loved my ChaCha so much I bought a second Black version from Canada's mobile network Telus. Of course it must be tweeked to get the most benefit, so I went to HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. When I run the RUU it tells me that I don't have the latest version. The Telus RUU on HTCDev is 1.24.661.1, but I already have 1.24.661.2 installed. I am lost as to what to do next. I've looked through the forums to find a similar situation but am unlucky.
What I am trying to do is make it so I can get data using my AT&T SIM (voice works, but not data), and run Didije's Custom Stripped Rom.
I guess what I am asking is ...
1. Is there a way to roll my RUU version back?
2. Does anyone have the Telus WWE RUU version 1.24.661.1, executable (.exe)?
3. Is there a way to get root with my current setup.
4. Any workarounds come to mind?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks everyone.

I ended up finding a thread that explains how to work this. Simply put, just go to the next step. At the HTCDev site, you do not have to install the Updated RUU. Just scroll to the bottom and click, "Next Step."

Thank you! I reported this to HTC back in August, but they said just keep checking back. I didnt notice that there is now a notice on the RUU page saying "If your RUU is newer than the one listed below, skip this step and go to the next step"
Had given up hope for rooting this device - 4 apps and i am already getting "no memory" messages
Hello. I have an HTC One from C Spire (Cellular South). The bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted with no custom ROM. I am using TWRP and SuperSU. I had to use the Sprint Version of TWRP and SuperSU in order to root. I have not had any issues but I am stuck on 4.2.2. I would like to get my phone back to stock so that I can update to 4.3.
After doing: fastboot getvar version-main
It returned: version-mian: 2.04.563.2
My boot menu says:
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBoot-1.54.0000
RADIO-1.00.20.0725
OS-2.04.563.2
I'm fairly new to rooting and I'm not sure how to undo this. I know with other carriers it is quite easy. That's not the case with CSpire. The only thing I can think of is to somehow get S-OFF, although I'd rather avoid doing so. I thought I needed to find the CSpire RUU files, but I do not think that is the case. Since I have not installed a Custom ROM can I just do an Android OTA?
Have you had any success as of yet finding the RUU for CSpire ? I too have an HTC One from CSpire. I have gotten as far as unlocking the phone but until I find the factory flash for our device I am afraid to root my phone... Please help me if you know where to find this... Thanks.....

No luck. I took my phone to CSpire since my SIM card was not working. They saw that it was rooted and wouldn't touch it. They wiped my phone and during the process wiped the OS. So the phone was then useless. The guy suggested that since I had purchased the warranty that I should just drop my phone in a pool so that they could replace it. So I did that. Now I have a brand new one. I wouldn't suggest rooting until someone releases the ruu files. :/
I also tried to use Cyanogen Mod for sprint devices but I could not get cellular data with it. So do not root if you ever plan on restoring.
Thanks

Thanks man I will not touch it past this point until more is released.. Shhhuuuuwwwaa !!!!
I just picked up an HTC One this afternoon. I was hoping there would be some development going on but like everyone else mentioned, I can't find any stock files for C Spire. I hope something will come out soon. When the HTC Hero was released, C Spire had all of the RUU files and updates on their website....
Stock Backup
Is it possible to switch to an alternate recovery such as TWRP or CWM without rooting first? If so, couldn't we just make a backup of a non-rooted stock rom and just revert back to that if there is a problem?
I have posted a non rooted backup of my htc one, we also have a working 4.4.2 rom made just for c spire if anyone wants to check it out. Voice, Data, sms, mms all work.
