[Q] noob-problems... - HTC Sensation

Hello people,
I'm new to android and trying to flash my htc sensation [hboot: 1.18.000, htc sense vers. 3.0 , software num. 1.50.161.1]
so far I:1) rooted my phone [or i think i have] , 2)made super cid , 3)and unlocked s-off
i couldn't make buckup of my rom, somehow clockworkmod isn't working. then i decided to proceed into installing an ruu even if buckup wasn't made.I downloaded 2 different RUUs and when i tried to run it i got error message both times.
i'm trying to install a stock rom different from vodafon's.
please help me and keep up the good work!!!

Why couldn't you make a backup? Was there an error message?
What do the error messages say when trying to install the RUUs?

Flash cwm from rom manager EDIT- SRY THOUGHT I WAS IN A DIFF FORUM. *facepalm*
sent from my Sensation

yeap with out a error message there isn't much we can help you with… So please be a bit more specific ...

look here you can find many official RUU for desire.
I don't know if it's posible to downgrade oficial ROM
If Desire were mine, I root it first, and after, do what I need. Rooted smartphones are always better to modify.
Like Hanisa said, look there. It would have helped if you knew your exact build version before.
Every Official HTC Desire RUU ROM has it's own build version and baseband (radio) version.
Go to settings>about phone>software then look for your baseband version (Radio version) (it may have not changed - for example: the original radio from my HTC Desire is linked only to my original RUU ROM). Use that information to find your RUU file, like Hanisa said, here (search using find on page)
Your baseband (radio) version should look something like this: 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
If you find you original RUU ROM, keep it on your computer. In case of anything you can just install it and you will have your stock ROM again.
Thank you guys for the quick answer,
Before I start to downgrade my Desire from 2.3 to 2.2, I wondering to give a last chance to Gingerbread and tray to root my Desire... So my question is... is it has possible way to root Desire 2.3 (Gingerbread)?
Yes i think so. But if you root your HTC Desire you will want to try different ROMs, there are many HTC Sense ROMs that are cleaner and faster than your stock ROM. Here is a step by step video tutorial on how to root your HTC Desire.
You won't regret rooting your HTC Desire, just make sure to make a Nandroid Backup (like the videos will show you), and also i suggest you make a Rom Manager backup - you can find the app on Android Market - (it's like Nandroid Backup) only you can move the backed-up files to your computer (this is good if something happens to your SD card and you have to format it for example).

Thank you I3xander,
But i Think that video tutorial is not going to work on my Desire, because of this ***This method only works for users with hboot 0.93 and lower. Sorry 1.06 users, but until unrevoked updates, your stuck on stock htc***
My Desire hboot is 1.02.
If you know some other way how to root Desire 2.3 Official rom please tell me.
Again Thank you for the advice.
I am sorry, if I will find more information about rooting your device with hboot 1.02 I will tell you. The only thing you could try, I think, is Revolutionary. It's in developer preview, but it may work, if you have time read and see if it can help you.
And I have no idea if you tried to install an original stock RUU ROM (2.2 Froyo) like Hanisa told you, it may (i am not sure) change your hboot. (Search here using baseband version (Radio version) to find your stock RUU ROM.
If it works you should be able to root your device with no issues.
My baseband is this:32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 when I tried to downgrade it said - please use correction version (bootloader fail 140) - cant find the correct one .. can anybody help
Thanks Danvad

And the Radio_V2 Pu Fail

[Q] Help returning to stock tmobus

Can someone please help me? i currently have the HTC sensation i have Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 phone is s-off it says hboot 1.17.2008(PG5810000)
Radio 10.14.9035.01_M
I want to return to stock tmob rom because the battery life was just better for me and i just dont want to mod anything..none of the roms i d/l work the phone will boot to HTC screen and keep flashing only the Android Revolution works, phone shows as it is not rooted when using root checker but busybox is ok, I have read everything on how to unroot started with the guide from from this forum but when i tried using the 1.29 tmobile ruu it says error 155...is there anything else i can do..i have been at it for almost a week and just wanna go stock anyone that can help much appreciated
Im sorry i take back my last post i have returned to a stock tmobile rom right after this post..im a noob at this its my first android phone
Which RUU did you use? I've been having a similar problem where I try to flash other ROM's after a SuperWipe, and only Android Revolution Works. and I tried the RUU for Tmobile both of them that are in the development thread and got error 155.
i have no idea why roms other than revolution worked..i wanted to go stock, if thats what you are trying to do then i made the mistake of NOT SHOWING HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS..you must do this in control panel settings...after that i followed step by METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
i used RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed
try going back into stock then doing a new s-off/root if you really want to..i'm not going to try it again for some time...best of luck

you can install a RUU. A RUU will make your phone stock again. look for your correct RUU by checking your CID
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
and look for the corresponding RUU. check anyting related to RUU's here. Read it all carefully so you don't make any mistakes. Make sure you know what you're doing before doing it
Not able to get Right RUU

1. you can always flash a ARHD custom ROM. It's appearance is identical to stock and you're much better of if you consider the effort. check the ARHD thread by mike1986 for details, downloads and how-to's
2. if you can't find a specific RUU for your device then find one that matches your FW and radio version. use the extracted ROM flash method from the RUU-link I posted to flash the ROM. this method is considerebly more effort and risk for failure. so when u choose to do this, read everything carefully and know what you're doing before doing it
I suggest going for opt 1
