Have a look at the Wiki, you may find a stock rom, or even the Desire Forum

Grab the the stock RUU from the Desire Android Development section, in the "Everything Desire is here" sticky.

Telstra RUU
is there any telstra ruu that can be downloaded that arent corrupt?

Hi I am in the same boot as the original poster, my phone was happily working with an older version of Cyanogen, then recently upgraded it to CM 6.1.1 which worked until that night I put it on charged, it started to just reboot and was very hot.
I can only just about get it to go after leaving the battery out for 5-10 mins. Even then it will only stay operational till I plug the power in again.
Even with out the power now it is randomly rebooting. By rebooting it just shows the original vendors splash screen and reboots every 5 seconds.
So my question is do I just install the standard rom I downloaded from this site. Only thing its an exe not a zip which is what I am use to?

You can download the official Telstra AU RUU from the HTC support site.
I can't post a working link because this is my first post, but this is the URI:
/au/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=312&cat=2&dl_id=1048
If this says its not applicable for your device, they may have released a newer version, so go looking.

This appears to only let you download for devices that were on 2.1 originally, not the latest 2.2 devices.

How do you flash a rom if you can't get past the white HTC screen?

My HTC Desire HD tried to update to 2.3 via OTA and now is stuck at the white HTC screen. Recovery won't do anything, neither with the RUU exe files.
Anything like Odin I can use to fix this? Or some other way to use ADB to push the rom onto the phone?
Thanks
Give it some time first boot always takes some time

ops wrong thread. this is not question & answer thread. btw i will post the answer.
if you want to flash a custom rom , please downgrade back to android 2.2 froyo build 1.32 because you cant root on android 2.3 gingerbread ..
use this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
(no problem if you can't get past to htc screen now, just take out your sd card and put the file on your sdcard, once you downgrade , then you can root and flash clorkworkmod via rom manager (download from market) ).
then you can flash a custom rom ( make sure you s-off first )
all about desire hd, you can find it here.

When you say recovery don't do anything, what exactly do you mean? What are you trying? Recovery fixes just about everything...
As far as ODIN, that's Samsung only. I feel like I've seen some HTC software close to this but it's not widely distributed if there is either due to lack of leaks or lack of usefulness.
And the guy above is right, it does take a while for that first boot so make sure you give it 10 mins before trying something else. Shouldn't take that long but just to be sure.
Use RUU when you are in bootloader.

HTC Incredible S OTA Update failure

Hi
Im new here I had read the all similar threads that the forum found but no one could help me to solve my problem.
Time ago I rooted and get S-off my HTC Incredible S s710e using Unrevoke, I decided to use my stock rom instead a cooked one so I lost root but stil have S-off.
Im using Android 2.3.3 and
Sense 2.1,
My baseband version is 20.2805.30.0805.04.03.27_M and
Kernel: 2.6.35.9-g529446e
I recived an OTA update with Android 3.5 and Sense 3.0 and I proceeded with it, everything goes well until the phone restarts and stay freeze in the green HTC logo. Nothing else happens. I had to search for my RUU file ( I use this one ---> RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_HK_2.12.708.4_Radio_20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_189979_signed.exe ) I extracted the rom.zip changed the name to PG32IMG and restored my phone like before.
I need help figuring out how I can do to upgrade via OTA without that brick (I want the official update to 3.5 so then I can get official ICS update). I tried to extract the official RUU rom with sense 3.0 and android 3.5 and install it but its the same problem.
Someone could help me solve my problem? Please. :crying:
I attached a .jpg of my Bootloader.
Thanks for your time and understanding​
BTW...........sorry for putting my post in the wrong section. I would have posted in the right one but I dont have enough posts.
You are s off, you better not run the ruu just how it is
It would probably be better/easier to flash a custom ROM

[Q] HTC One S S3 CID and others

Hello all,
This is the first time I write on the forum and I'm another frustrated HTC One S (S3) user.
My phone is the Indian version (CID: HTC__038). It's still on the 4.0.3 version (it hasn't got the OTA update yet) and I cannot find any information related to when the 4.0.4 will be released in this region.
So, if I want to get the 4.0.4 I basically have two options:
- Install a custom ROM
- Install a RUU for other country
For the first point, I looked at the TrickDroid 4.0 but I found another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33374826&postcount=424) where someone says that you only can install this ROM if you phone has the 4.0.4 version as base. Can anyone confirm this?
As for the second point, I found the problem that it's impossible (so far) to change the CID on the S3 model. So, there is no way to install a RUU from another country. Is this right?
Please, I would appreciate if you can help me on this or tell me a different way to upgrade to 4.0.4.
Thanks!
I know i won't be of any help to you, but i'm in the very same situation
My CID is HTC__662 (Hong Kong), and also for this: no RUU, no OTA, no Custom Rom 4.0.4 based...
And DO NOT try to flash TD v4!! U'll get only into bootloop; i think it's a matter of hboot that's different from 4.0.4 and 4.0.3 (for example, if u take a look at mcOneS3 rom u'll see it's a prerequisite).
I've spent more or less 2 days flashing, rebooting, soft-bricking, crying, recovering, crying again...at the end (after a brief test of TrickDroid 3.0.0, the only Rom i got to work but that did not match my needs) i've been happy to succeed in restoring old stock 4.0.3...
As far as i've understood: as long as we have no OTA/RUU, we are screwed.
I was told that it was only made for the T-Mobile version, but I'm pretty sure that's not right.
Same here, my CID is BSTAR301, still running the stock 4.0.3 and havent even found the RUU for that CID.. I don't really want root or flash any rom yet for warranty purposes (and because I'm satisfied by the way it is, so no need to get my hands dirty on it!) thus I'm relying on official updates, but considering the updates are region/CID/carrier dependant it's highly unlikely that I'll get 4.0.4 let alone Jelly Bean/sense 4+ by the end of the year... what a fricking joke!

[Q] Why is my HTC One x (PROTOTYPE) stuck on ICS?

Why is my HTC One x (PROTOTYPE) stuck on ICS?
Hey guys, This is my first post ever on XDA so please forgive me if I sound like an idiot
I got hold of a HTC One x which was already had an unlocked bootloader, rooted and had CWM recovery installed. I was told that I have a prototype version of the one x. Anyway that is not issue. when I got the phone it was running android version 4.0.4 HTC Sense version 4.1 and I checked software update. The 3.14.401.27 OTA update was available so I proceeded with the update and after the reboot I found my phone stuck in a bootloop and the only way for me to sort it out was by restoring my nand back up from CWM. I really wanted the new Sense 5 UI and android jelly bean so I downloaded:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.20_Rad io_5.1204.162.29_release_292865_signed.exe
My CID was HTC__621 thats why I downloaded that ruu but after flashing it not was I only stuck in a bootloop but also when I entered recovery mode it was just a blank black screen with the back lights on. I even flashed different versions of CWM recovery and TWRP which gave me the same black screen so I flashed the stock recovery.img which also gave me the same black screen. I thought me maybe a different Ruu would resolve this issue so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' to change my CID to '11111111' this allowed me to flash:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radi o_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
&
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
After trying both these ruu's I still found my device stuck in a bootloop. Next I downloaded 'Endeavoru_CustomRUU' this contained a 'rom.zip' which I belive was a jelly bean rom and said it would update my image version to '3.14.401.31' after flashing this ruu, my phone booted up past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' screen but into a black screen but I could hear the boot sound and knew it booted up but it still gave me a black screen. barre in mind this was the only rom that booted up and didn't get stuck in a bootloop but the downside was I had no picture on the screen it was literally pitch black with the backlight on when it went past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' boot screen. I didn't even see the one x boot animation. I could only hear the boot up sound and once it was booted up the notification LED would flash I was receiving network settings from my operator. That was about it. I booted into recovery to see wether that worked but unfortunatelly it was also still giving me a black screen. The only thing I could boot into without a problem was 'power button + volume down' which booted into bootloader in which I chose 'fastboot' to flash all these roms.
At this point I thought my device was soft bricked so I gave it to my friends father who happened to really good with his IT skills. He managed to change my device's CID from 'HTC__621' to 'HTC__001' after doing so he downloaded this ruu and flashed it:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radi o_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
This ruu turned out to work perfectly fine with my device. Everything functioned once again, the device was able to boot into recovery and boot normally without a hassle. I also discovered that this was the rom that I received my phone with which put me back to the start on android 4.0.4
I was really annoyed with the fact that I was stuck on ICS so I flashed the MaximusHD 21.1.0 rom and its boot.img which put me into a bootloop again. I also tried other custom roms such as Revolution and SD secxces which all put my phone in a bootloop even though I flashed their boot.img kernels. I knew that I required a hboot 1.33.0000 or above in order to flash jb roms so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' once again before flashing these custom roms to update my hboot from 1.12.0000 to 1.33.0000. so all these bootloops still occourd after doing all this and I just had to return back to ICS. barre in mind I only tried flashing JB roms as I want sense 5 so I don't know if a custom ics rom would work on my device as I havent tried it yet but I know for a full fact that none of the jb roms work on my device.
For those who are wondering here, I uploaded some pictures of my device just check the attachments. It has all the information you may want to know about my device (HTC One X PROTOTYPE).
I really hope someone can help me update to jelly bean and get sense 5 as I am frustrated from failing and being stuck in bootloops
If you read all of this I honestly appreciate it and Thank you for it, I hope you can help me!
Sorry to say it after you've written such a lengthy post, but you're in the wrong forum. This is the HTC One XL (at&t One x) forum, they're completely different phones. You'll need to ask in the HTC One X forum, we don't know enough about your phone here, sorry.

Returning phone to stock for resale?

I've been out of the scene for years and have long since moved away from my Sensation 4G. Its sitting here collecting dust and although probably not worth a helluva lot I'd like to sell it while someone can get some decent use out of it still.
My question is, how do I return it to stock so I can sell it to the "average Joe". I'll keep it unlocked and rootable but how can I put the original HTC rom back on so I can advertise it as "stock"? Currently running an old v4.1 version of MIUI with 4EXT Touch Recovery, and honestly I dont even know where the HTC updates stop; or if its still supported.
I'd like to just get this phone to a sellable "stock" condition and give the user the choice to tweak it (or not).

If your device is S-Off then you can install and ICS RUU which can be downloaded from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661591
Thanks,
Couple more questions;
-Once installed and returned to factory will this allow OTA updates from HTC?
-The filename mentions Europe, I'm U.S., does it matter?
-Is it really an .exe file? What is it designed to do?
-Do I run it from 4EXT (off the sim card) or from PC?
-It says "Firmware is the same as earlier firmware included in 3.32 RUUs". Which FW is that? I'm on 1.17 still
I should also mention: T-Mobile USA with S-Off
Thanks, and sorry in advance for the noob questions. Like I said, I've been out of the loop for years and have no desire to tweak my phone again.
I just wanna get this back to stock and sell it!

you run the exe directly from pc connected the device to it in fastboot mode
and another thing you have to know is when installing ruu.exe
you are forgeting 4ext recovery
it restores completely everything back to stock
but i suggest to use a t-mobile usa ruu.exe
also you will have OTA updates.but this device is discontinued
the latest official update is to ics android

Great, thanks. I'll look for a Tmob US ruu.
Firmware, do I need to flash to the required FW in Hboot first or will the installer take care of that for me? If so where did HTC leave off?
I'm looking at 3.33 being the most current ICS FW. But that's based on this thread:

forget that thread
it is not for you
ruu restores official firmware too
the latest firmware from HTC is 3.33
note: after ruu installation only S-OFF will remain as it is but i suggest to leave on S-OFF
