Hi, i rooted my DHD a few months back and need to return it to stock for warranty purposes.
Now I understand the way to go about this would be using an RUU. The main problem i'm having is finding the correct one, i've looked around various forums and there seems to be a problem in finding an Orange UK RUU for a lot of people.
Is there any chance i could be pointed in the direction or one? Or is there an alternative i could use to return it to stock? The phone was locked to the Orange network when i received it.
In addition to this, can anyone point me in the direction of one of the more simple tutorials/step-by-step guides in doing this?
Thanks in advance.
It would be better for u to post this issue under DESIRE HD Q&A section. U will surely get help there. Good luck

whats up good folks of the sgs3 thread!! So I was thinking about comming over to vzn via way of tmous and maybe picking up this phone. However I read on lots of places that the bootlaoder is locked. So here is my question, I havent found a hack yet to unlock the bootloader, so how is it that yall have unsecured kernels for the sgs3? Am I wrong to assume that the bootloader would not let custom kernels be fully installed? or does installing roms via odin get past the bootloader? forgive my ignorance ive had the g2x (then the hd2) for the longest time and havnt had to deal with locked bootloaders... anyone care to shed some light on me? Please and thank you.
I don't live in the US but apparently the Verizon bootloader is the only one that is locked. So don't go with them.
I had no idea the phone companies in America had such a ridiculous monopoly on the system over there, it's very foreign to me. I just got the international S3 from the UK.
Yea it does suck for sure. But yea I think your right. And that's been the whole consensus everywhere I read.. No sense in volunteering myself into a crappy position when the same phone is with tmous and unlocked and my contract is done. Ima call them on the morrow and see if they can give me a better deal.

Hello everyone. Sorry if this throws everything outta wack but i need some help. So my friend finally made the switch from apple to android and he got a fascinate. He had it flashed to cricket and everything works it just freezes up a lot because hes using a crappy froyo rom. I need to know if i root and install ics on it will that remove the carrier flash and switch it back to verizon? If so can anyone tell me how to root and install ics without removing the cricket service? If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have been searching for days how to do it but i still cant find anything. Please help me restore my friends faith in the wonderful world that is android.

Hey, I'm having a similar problem as your friend did, but I'm kind of a noob and don't understand all the jargon yet. Did you get a clear answer to your question by following the thread that was posted by mezter?

Hey guys I need a hand with this, I am currently running Android Revolution HD 7.0 by mike1986 which is amazing and if you havent given it a run you really should super slick but my diliema here is that I have some dead pixels in the screen and its only a week old or so which will be replaced for a new device. I saw this thread in development Device Essential Material *** RUU,s / Recovery / Radio / Root / S-Off / Guides ***but I am a little confused which I should download, if someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I know ATT and Rogers work hand in hand so it cant be that difficult. I have def learned my lesson though should have backed up nandroid stock before I flashed
My CID is ROGERS001
Android version: 4.1.2
HTC Sence 5.0
Build number 1.29.401.13 CL177101
Did you end up getting your Rogers HTC one back to stock? I also need to send my phone back for dead pixels but never made a nandroid backup. So frustrated, any advice?
I am in the same situation... can anyone please help....

Why would you stress out? This is simple stuff and people were kind enough to create guides for you. Why would you not read and follow them?

Can't you just help someone out and show them what guide?
I am in the same situation! If I saw someone posting a thread, I'd link them to the guide and section, rather than typing a few sentences of nonsense that doesn't contribute to the solution. :/

Yes reading is the key to xda forums! I wasn't able to bring my HTC One back to stock, but since having my new replacement I've learned a ton of info from xda! To all the people who contribute to an awesome forum I thank you all, appreciation goes along way!

No worries i have found a place willing to do it.
If there are any of you that require the same as me FoneFunShop offer a solution for £24.99 to get S-Off
I have placed an order - I spoke to Mick he mentions they should be a couple of days Turnaround and will try it 1 of 2 ways.
1) Factory Reset top get S-Off ?
2) JTAG
Thread closed for now, ill post an update later after i receive the phone back to give you all the low down.

I think that you can find your firmware on sammobile and flash it on Odin . but i dont think that flashing another modem will unlock your device , that can even cause damage to your device . Dont try to flash zip from another model in any situation

You don't need to downgrade your rom. You can flas a modem even if you don't have root. If you have a custom recovery than just flash the modem.

Better off to say Touchwiz sucks as opposed to 4.1.2 sucks. There are 2 developers that still work 4.1.2 and your going to come off real ungrateful for their efforts. There is not a thing wrong with their ROMs. You just have to know how to fine tune them to your needs. Don't bash them if you can't do it. Just don't run them.
Its not the ROM that bricked your phone

what are you talking about.. at which point in my post did i say anything about the developers and what they do? you should really stop posting things unless your going to help. it seems in every thread i make or post a reply your right there with something to say that doesn't help and your in most of the thread I have read with no help other than to say read and look at the super everything thread. Those arent answers when people are asking questions. If anyone takes the time and reads everything than they wont have to ask questions but that isnt going to happen and thats why forums are created, to help and support and I know i've said this before to you on one of my posts. He asked about downgrading and i said that 4.1.2 sucks. Did i say that the developers or the after market roms suck? No I didn't. I've used several different roms and all the after market roms run much smoother that stock.

Dude, you need to seriously take chill pill. I was quoting you, 4.1.2. Sucks.
I have done nothing but try and help you, including coaching you on your ediquite here. With your clueless way of being vague, you are bad mouthing developers. We are trying to keep them here.
I wasn't the one who recently posted about running a Note 2 ROM on our device. No wonder you bricked yours.
Look at my post count, look at yours.
Look at my thanks count, look at yours.
You are everywhere posting about same issues, multiple times and in multiple threads. Issues that only you seem to have.
I have even PM'd you and tried to help, but you only read what you want to read and question more experienced members who have solid practices. Don't want my help fine, don't post without researching your personel issues. You won't believe anybody anyway.
Good luck..........geeeeezzzzz.
Yes I edited this, as I went on a tangent regarding this, but common decency got the better of me. I hope the other one was read though.

Ok. Don`t know about unlocking stuff. Here is a thread where you can find some stock Roms. The first one is 4.0.3.

Just flash the J2 modem and follow the steps.
I had to replace my main board, so I took the ota update, then rooted, then realized I didn't unlock. So I flashed the J2 modem, unlocked, and kept that modem. It didn't do any better than the new modem that came with the update.
This thread turned pretty nasty for such a basic question.
Yeah it did. I flipped my ignore button to the on position and I'm goooood
