hi,
I rooted my htc desire a few days ago using unrevoked 3.2. I then backed it up and wiped the phone and installed a custom UI (MIUI). I had loads of trubble with installing the rom and then found that my back up wouldnt work either. Today i tried a hard reset but when i boot the phone up all im getting is the o2 boot screen (branded phone to o2). All i want is to go back to what i already had on before (htc sense 2.2), no other custom roms
thanks in advance, please help. my phone is useless at the moment
I may not know much about HTC hardware and sense i do know that if can find the original ROM there should be instructions to install it or just try flashing it. I'm sorry if im mistaken.
How do i flash it and what does flashing do?? and were can i find the original ROM? sorry im a noob
Download and flash RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe from here: http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
You may need to have HTC Sync installed on your computer to flash the RUU.
This information is well discussed in the Desire section of these forums, you should check it out.
Good luck.
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.

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

How exactly did you do it?
I flashed the bravo_downgrade.img and did the RuU afterwards, but i still get the Main Version Fail Error!
Now I tried it by Doing revolutionary and applying the PB99IMG.zip afterwards.
Now I get Bootloader...Bypassed
And the Radio_V2 Pu Fail
Hi XDA,
I appreciate that somehwhere on this forum this question has probably been asked, and resolved.. but I really need some help here because either I'm dumb or this just simply hasn't been covered with the words 'Sensation XE'
Right, I installed Virtuos ROM (AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich). I upgraded my Firmware to the one that it uses, but quickly decided that AOSP is simply not the way for me. In order to downgrade back to a GB ROM, I flashed the 1.73 HBOOT version.
I then went about installing Android Revoloution, however for some reason I am experiencing instability within the system. I have installed it through 4EXT, formatted the system ect. So I decided that I wanted to revert to Stock and go through the rooting process again and basically re-install everything.
This is where I got stuck. There seems to be absolutely no Stock Sensation XE RUU's on XDA? I downloaded one RUU software number '1.45.401.3' however it tells me that I need to find the correct Rom Upgrade Utility.
Could somebody please point me in the correct direction of a Stock Sensation XE ROM. Not one that is Rooted or anything, I mean a genuine RUU. I have looked at the S-ON guide and the collection of Shipped ROM's however none say that they are specifically for the XE. Thank's in advance!
ISSUE NOW SOLVED​
Putting the phone into Fastboot and then trying to flash '1.45.401.3' works for some strange reason. No complaints, Stock ROM re-flashing as we speak.
Could you provide me link to the stock rom... as i too want to revert back on stock rom, does simply flashing the rom resolved your problem?
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!
