I've run into some problems with my HTC Desire, and i've chosen to start from scratch, so i want to completely remove my root, cyanogenmod7, clockworkmod etc etc.
I know i can flash my RUU file to achieve this, but i need both the baseband and build number for this. I can easily find the baseband number in the "About Phone" section, but the build number is no where to be found.
I've also made a post on the Cyanogenmod forums to ask for help with this issue, but no luck so far. (cant post the link since i'm new to these forums)
Could someone help me locate my build number, or even help me find the RUU file that belongs to my phone?
My baseband version is: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
I've tried looking at shipped-roms.com to find it, but there are about 10 different ones with my baseband version, but different build numbers, so i'm not sure which one to take.

*p.s my friend also mentioned something to me about flashing my default modem too..?? *
in General section there is some unlock post to teach you how to do that.
once you unlocked your phone , then you can flash new recovery and radio img in order to solve this problem.
well thing is i have been looking at it all and and am not sure if its the correch program, and when i flash i get an error and it does not finish and if needbe i can post the email of the error msg.
Hi all, i need your help. As Im currently using a custom firmware now, i need to know my build number of my device. However in settings, this does not shows my build number, instead it shows my custom firmware name. Is there anyway to check my build number of my device? Lots of thanks!
There is no build number for custom ROM.
I hope this is a place for stupid questions. I have scoured the internet and found nothing, I really just need to understand some of the acronyms being used and what are the implications of installing ROMs from the wrong region.
Basically I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183684 which is a list of a select few pre-rooted stock ROMs. There is only 1 WWE (world wide edition) ROM in there, and it's quite old. They are also all on megaupload (no longer around) or no longer available to be downloaded. Anyone know of any other pre-rooted ROM list?
Since I am in Australia, I am unsure if I should bother trying any of the Europe based sense 3.0 ROMs. I know the WWE version is safe as I have got that before, but what is different between that and getting the Telstra_WWE and the Asia_WWE versions?
Lastly, the most common one I see people saying to get is the ARA version, but I can not find anywhere what does ARA mean. I assume it maybe just another region like the Europe or CHS versions? I am going on the list of shipped ROMs found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 but would prefer pre-rooted if they are around, although if I have to I will just root it myself once flashed.
Just use any custom Sense ROM. They are all WWE, prerooted, clean and optimized. Check Hyperion, Endimion or Fallout according to the Sense version you like the most
Sent from my HTC Desire S
I was hoping to go back to stock sense HTC ROM, since I know everything work on there, like bluetooth pairing to my car stereo, usb tethering and those sorts of things. Have been using BlindIce for past 3 months and Cyanogen 7.1 before that, all unstable, reboot a lot by themselves and all have their own little niggles, for example Fallout openly admits wifi hotspot not work, which i use almost daily. Which is why I now want to go back to stock so I can be more stable.
But just not sure what all the acronyms are in the stock ROMs page. Is HTC_ARA arabic? In Australia, if I flash a HTC_Europe ROM what will happen?
Yes you are right ARA stands for Arabic.
More important for you is to know that if you flash any RUU that is not including your region (like the European one) you will brick your device. You can do this with a Goldcard, but only with a higher version than your current (but there is no guarantees that you coverage will be stable and other issues may occur). This will skip the check for your CID number (that indicates the region where the device was made for).
My suggestion is to try Endymion if you manage to find a download link (I saw your post there) it has everything forking flawless since it is powered by a modified by still HTC source based kernel.
Or if you are definite for going Stock find your main version (it corresponds to your region too) by connecting your device to a PC, open cmd and type (you will need the drivers installed - link in my signature):
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
the output will be a string such as 1.47.401.4 (this one is for Europe). Find a RUU which has the third group of this string (401 in the example) in its name and depending on the version directly run it with device connected (for the example will be 2.10.401.8), MAKE SURE that your bootloader is not an original Revolutionary one! or look for a downgrade guide if the version is lower (for the example - 1.28.401.1) - this will involve main version modification.
Thank you amidabuddha, you have been much helpful!
Hi everyone,
I have read up a lot on different people in similar situations to myself, but none of the solutions I have found have been successful. Anyway, here goes:
01) I rooted my GT-N7100 (Samsung Galaxy Note II) using Odin and then installed Cyanogenmod onto it.
02) I decided that I did not like CM, so I downloaded the stock rom for the handset and went through the process of putting the phone back to normal
03) This was successful, however, during the process my IMEI number has changed on the OS level, so that now the IMEI written on the device is different to the one that is displayed in the device status.
I am not trying to change my IMEI number to anything other than the number that it is supposed to be, I just want to be able to make calls and use my mobile data again. If anyone has any ideas about how I can go about editing the current IMEI number, I would be really appreciate it. I'm aware that this is a taboo subject due to the legality of changing the number, but all I want to do is get my phone back to the way it was.
Please feel free to ask me for any further information.
Thanks in advance.
Hello All,
I am new to rooting phones and recently tried something on a galaxy S2. I had a korean version of S2 model SHW-250s which was locked. I lost my new phone so tried unlocking this myself...looked at some youtube videos some blogs and finally decided to use this method posted by someone:
1)Flash these two files using ODIN to convert the korean model into international version :
GTI9100_ext4.pit
9100XWLPW_I9100ODDLPC_I9100DDLPB_HOME.tar.md5 (stock ICS firmware for my country).
This successfully converted my phone to S2i9100.
2)Then to unlock I used a siyah kernel as posted by a developer :: Siyah-v3.2b8
This successfully installed SU and i checked using RootChecker apps that there is root access.
3)Then to unlock my phone i used GalaxSimUnlock app (did rooting as this app required root access)
This successfully unlocked my phone. I was able to call receive messages with new carrier.
I installed some more general apps used it for 5 days.
Sudddenly i started facing network issues. I was not able to make or receive calls. Strangely, I was getting data connection from network but not able to make or receive calls. I could not register on any network.
I tried running GalxSimUnlock app again and it said Unable to read NV data.Since I was naive i tried reinstalling the stock ROM and SIYAH kernel to see if it helps. It didnt.
When i researched further i came to know there's probably something wrong in the NV_data.bin file in EFS . But i hadnt taken backup of EFS previously. Now can anythng be done to restore the EFS and make the phone work? Please help me....
When i run GalaxSimUnlock app it shows everything in green except IMEI number which it blinks in red. But I am able to see a IMEI number and it doesnt look like something default. I am getting everything else MAC id, baseband version etc.
Thanks everybody...please forgive my language if not upto the mark as i am pretty naive about this stuff.
Please Review this thread [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps.
If you have specific question on the process, you can post this thread as well.
If that does not work and you need further help, please post in Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Hey Buddy....Thanks for replying....i just saw you have written you flashed the original ROM on your device again...but as I wrote I have flashed another ROM and didnt take back up of original one and cannot find the SKT korea S2 ROm for this one...Is it ok if i employ the procedure told by you without flashing original ROM...what is CSC? Is there anything else you wanna tell me before i start the process? please forgive for my ignorance Im quite new to all this...
You will have to ask on the thread I linked regarding the Rom. You will have the right experts for your device there.
CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234# . First two digits represents country and last three represents release time.
ok thanks...i will post the question there
Per Suggestion from my Collegue @It_ler,
The kernel you have is older. Latest SiyahKernel for the stock JB ROM he has on his device is SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1.
If you have questions about the kernel, then use the [KERNEL][REF][Q&A] Siyah 5.0+[ICS/CM10] 6.0b5+[JB/CM10.1] +DISCUSSION+. NON-DEV!!! (SiyahKernel discussion) thread.
