[Q] How to unflash HTC Desire? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

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

droid eris pre-installed 2.1

I know this may be a stupid question and probably won't get any where but figured is ask. My original Eris had leak on it so I refined it and got one with stock 1.5 then rooted it. It was great and worked fine with no problems. Then the phone got water damaged so asurion sent me a new one but this one came with pre-installed 2.1 and has 1.49 boot loader. Been trying everything and reading everything to try and root it but nothing working yet. The recovery also works and can flash update files from it as well as factory wipe and etc. But its the stock recovery which I read most 2.1 leaks don't have. I don't know if I can flash hboot from recovery and if I can I can't find an older version to download. Just to sat seems a lot like leak version but with improvements. My question is is there something I could be missing or a root method for pre-installed 2.1. Also this would show that recently manufactured Eris' are being shipped with 2.1 now. I know its now discontinued and can't wait to get incredible but till I can I have Eris for now. Thanks for your help.

Stock HTC Desire ROM

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?

[Q] Service problems with the HTC Inspire

Since last night (maybe even the night before) I've been experiencing service problems with my HTC Inspire. It'll recognize I have a SIM card at times, and then It wont. I rooted my phone following this thread (specifically this video) I've had my phone rooted for briefly a week and after I finished that video, I left it at that and didn't follow the next video on how to flash a custom Rom. Any ideas on why this problem is occurring?

The downgrade rom is an older Desire HD rom that is used for the purpose of rooting. It really doesn't play nice if you leave it on the phone. You need to flash attn1's updated stock rom and radio from the developers forum if you want to stay stock rooted. Otherwise, just flash a custom rom and matching radio.

Well apparently he used bubby's simple root, which if he at least followed that through to completion, meaning the stock rooted ROM got pushed to the phone, then he shouldn't be on the downgraded ROM.
OP...
Under settings > about phone > software information > baseband, what number is specified?

Hmmm. I'm not sure what rom the one click leaves you with, but the hack kit left me with a pos Desire HD rom that obviously didn't belong on the phone. I had to go somewheres between the time I rooted and flashed my current stock rom, so I got to play with it a bit. Mms didn't work, it wouldn't allow me to setup email, and, despite connecting to wifi, it wouldn't open web pages. Mobile internet did work, but the speeds were horrid. After booting it took forever to get a signal. Idk if this was the downgrade rom used to get root or a different rom flashed afterwards, but to me it was still a downgraded rom regardless. Once I flashed attn1's stock rom, it was all fixed.

The Rom installed at the end of Bubby's method is very usable. It seems like a stock Rom. I didn't notice anything missing, but I didn't use it that long.

Lol.
That ROM was never intended to be left on the phone. It shouldn't have been some mystery needing to be solved, as from what I recall, it pretty clearly tells you that a new ROM needs to be flashed to restore the Inspire to a fully functional state.

It is usable and it is stock... Rooted stock with the shipping radio.

Yes, I do recall it saying something along that line. I just didn't expect it to be that non functional. I was hoping to use it for a few days until I made a final decision on what rom to flash. Fortunately, I came across attn1's rom later that day. I do recall when researching Bubby's one click method, it stated it would take you back to stock. I just wasn't sure if it was meaning stock Inspire or stock Desire HD.

[Q] Install Clockwork Recovery

Hi, I searched all over the forum here and couldn't find an answer to this. I have a HTC HD2 (love it still) and recently got a HTC Thunderbolt for business. I usually root these phones when I get it so no surprise here
I spent many hours researching what I can like I did for my HD2 and am ready to flash the ROM now. I rooted it already and now want to install Das BAMF Stripped but don't know how to without Clockwork Recovery. It sounds like a identical process to my HD2 except there is no MAGLDR for this version (not that I know of at least) and I think the Clockwork Recovery install is different for each phone so I can't just flash it.
Do I need to use ROM Manager from the market to do this? I prefer installing it and having the option to boot CWR if possible instead of relying on the application.
Any steps on where to get it and how to flash it properly on the Thunderbolt will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Install ROM manager. From there you install CWR. Then reboot. I wouldnt use it for anything else. You can uninstall it when you get CWR installed.

I see how it works now. So that's the only way to install it on the Thunderbolt? I was actually doing it after I posted. Up and running on Das BAMF ROM now.
Thanks

[Q] Help: ROM installation problem

Hello,
I have obtained S-OFF and root for my sensation. My first attempt at installing a new rom was successful, and I used Android Revolution 3.6.1. Success, and I was happy. Now I decided to change to 4.1.2 and it hangs on the boot screen after installing the rom.
Can someone please tell me why 3.6.1 works, and 4.1.2 doesn't? The procedure should be the same, correct?
Thanks in advance!
Did you use the Super Wipe zip?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Yes, I used super wipe before installing each rom.
it might be your radio if you haven't updated it yet. thats the only other thing that could be missing. many people including myself have had successful flashes with 4.1.2 so thats not the problem. try updating your radio and super wipeing again.
Thanks for the suggestion. I updated my radio, but 4.1.2 still hangs on startup.
Did you forget something? Check Mike's tips and follow it. I flashed 4.1.2 four times today, it's ok.
Try another ClockworkMod Recovery. 4.0.1.4 from AlphaRev or 5.0.1.0 from ROM Manager is recommand in Mike's post. Mine is 5.0.2.0, just ok.
I followed the same procedure to flash 3.6.1 and when I flashed 4.1.2. For some reason, I can get only the first one to work, and not the other. I am certain both roms are working properly, but I was hoping to get some help as to why the one won't work on my phone.
Fixed: Let that be a lesson to you, remember to check your md5 checksum! Rom is now working perfectly.
I had faith in you the whole time been thinking about the possibilities all day
Thanks! Its all part of the learning experience I suppose.
Issues with kernel on 4.1.2, it has been superceded by 4.1.3, which is working fine and available now.
You did nothing wrong.
