I got a new Desire S
But after update to 2.3.5 , all the keyboards removed.
So I took it to the guarantee servise and they told me that they will install a new original (stock) rom on my phone and everything will be solved.
Now they say it is done and I must go to get my phone.
How can I check if they have rooted the phone or not?
Also, how can I check if the installed ROM is stock or not.
Please help it is urgent
Thanks in Advance

Hi Guys,
I've stumbled into a problem with my Hero. I had it rooted early this year, and had been using Floyo 1.9 recently. However, I think due to some hardware problem, my screen has lost sensitivity at the bottom.
I need to send it in for repairs to HTC.
However, I think i'll need to unroot my phone before sending it in.
I need to know how can i do that. I also need to know how do I find and put on it the local official Rom. I am based in Hong Kong.
I don't have any backup.
Any advise would be much appreciated. I'm pretty desperate here as I cant afford another phone.
Thanks.
Ok, I've been searching around, and I think I may know how to unroot. But how do I get my local Hong Kong ruu?
And if I were to install 2.1 official on it and after getting it back from repairs, would I be able to root it again?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712552
I found this rom here called [ROM]RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_3.34.721.1_R_Radio_63.18. 55.06P
I would really like to ask someone if this would be ok for me to flash?
I need to send my phone back to HTC for repair.
But I also would like to make sure that I can root my phone again after flashing official 2.1
I read from some posts that you cannot root once u get official 2.1
Would someone please advise me on the steps I need to take?
Thanks a lot.
Just go to the official HTC website for your country and then download the RUU file that it gives you from support. PRobably the 1.5/1.6 ROM. Install HTC Sync latest version, plug in your phone and run the RUU. It's as easy as that.
Funnily enough, HTC does not provide downloads to local official RUUs for the HK region. I have no idea why.
But I was able to download it from that thread above. I then had to first install HTC Sync to let it install drivers of my phone to the computer, and then ran that Ruu and now I have an Unrooted Hero with Sense 2.1
I'll be sending it in for repairs soon, and hopefully I can have it rooted again afterwards.
It's been a valuable learning experience.
Yes that is what I did, I unrooted my device sent it off for repairs, noe unrooted again and running cyanogen 6.1 froyo and it rocks....
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
+1 to HTC for some superb customer service as well..
My warranty had just expired, but considering the hardware defect, they were willing to extend it and help me out.
This is the kind of stuff that makes consumers purchase a particular company's product again.
Hopefully next Christmas I'll get a nice 4.3 inch dual processor HTC phone with Android 3.0 or above. ;-)
so everything i have to do to unroot it, is flashing the official rom
from the htc homepage?
it is the ROM version 2.73.405.5 - is this right?
i got the screen problems too and have to send it in.
am i able to reroot it after it got repaired?
Hey guys,
I just got a HTC HD2 yesterday and while plaing around I accidentally installed value added installer and that program installed arabic language to my phone. So everything is in arabic. How do I go about fixing this, I did a soft and hard reset plus I did a factory reset, nothing seemsto be working. Is there any solution to this issue? Please advise me on how to fix this problem. Im also a new to smartphones so my knowledge is limited.

The official way:
Go to HTC website & download the ROM aplicable to your device & flash it.
Non official:
Flash HSPL & then flash the ROM you like.
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
I got my phone from a friend who got it from UAE. I was wondering will I have to download for UAE or can I download a UK ROM? Will this affect my phone negatively?
Please let me know.
Thank you for your help.

BuppY
If you do not install HSPL, you have to download the ROM from HTC middle east website.
If you want any other ROM, (HTC -UK or custom), then you have to install HSPL. There is no negative effect on the phone's function.
Thank you for your help Omar. I really appreciate you helping me out.
I will download the ROM from HTC for now. I just got the phone few days ago so I want to get familiar with it before trying another ROM. I'm really not good at these kinds of things so I'm hoping I can learn it soon enough.
Anyways I really appreciate the help.. Thank you.

Quick question..
If I were to add Android to my phone would I still be able to create and edit Microsoft Office documents?
you can disable arabic support by going to the settings tab>other>multilingual support and then check "disable multilingual support"
this will save you flashing another rom, however, if you do a hard reset, the phone will change to arabic after the process is complete.
regarding your android question:
there are a few apps on android that support creating/editing office documents such as quick office, some are paid and offer more functions (sometimes even more than office on wm 6.5) but none is like the desktop version of course.
you can try an SD or Ram android build and see if it fits your needs before flashing NAND android
Hey guys another quick question; by downloading the rom from HTC site for middleeast and africa will the phone go back to being locked. At the moment phone is unlocked and Im using it in Canada.
I just want to know if the phone will be locked or not after the installation of new ROM from HTC site.
Once again thanks for your help

No. The phone will not get locked. Middle East phones are 99.99% not locked ini the 1st place.
Hey there guys. I bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 off the bay, and its locked to orange. She is on O2, the ebay advert didn't state the phone was locked. Anyway, i have tried everything i could to unlock the phone and had no luck. Even took it to a shop but they had no joy either.
My last chance now is to take it to orange personally and see what they can do but i want to restore it to its original condition first as I initially rooted the phone and installed litening rom on it. So, just wondering, how do i unroot the phone and then put all the original orange branding/rom back on?
Really need your help guys, and really appreciate it

Hey,yeah ive seen that thread and it makes no sense whatsoever!
The thing is, I have tried chainfires unlock app which didn't work, and isn't that app based on that unlock method in the thread you linked? So it prob won't work
So again guys, how do unroot and get all the original orange branding and firmware back on the phone. There must be a way surely?
Really desperate guys

I want to unroot my HTC Legend because im going to sell it.
Now the problem is that i dont know what rom i have to put back?
I just want back the stock froyo rom without root permissions.
Right now I am running Cyanogenmod 7.1 on it with CWM. Its simlock free and unbranded.
I bought my htc legend @t for telecom in The Netherlands. with the provider vodafone.
What RUU do i need? or maybe just a rom?
Just put a 2.3 on it
See this guide:
[SIMPLE GUIDES] How to root/un-root the HTC Legend + Install ROM's [H-BOOT 1.00]
There's a link which explanes how to unroot your Legend.
Thanks for the answer, i already found out.
The problem is that i dindt had HTC Sync anymore. So i just flashed the r.0.8 rom and installed a specific version of htc sync (an older version something like 2.0.33) Only with this combination the RUU accepted my request and started to put my stuff back to factory settings and ofcourse now its unrooted. Thanks!
I want to unroot my legend + put branding on again so i can send it in for repair - does anyone know the easiest way to do this for vodavone AT so that HTC won't recognize it was rooted - thanks very much
install the Vodafone_AT_GER_Mobilkom rom from here, then it should be branded & unrooted again:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Legend
so just flash via rom manager ?
thank you very much so far
no it's just the original windows installer from htc. download it, then connect your legend via usb and then run the program on your computer
awesome - thanks so much!!!

First root the locked device with CF Root using Odin (see my signature item 1) than unlock the phone with Voodoo Sim unlock tool in Playstore, after it is unlocked flash this fix with cwm recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802951.
-Edit- It seems voodoo Sim unlock tool is temporarily removed from Playstore, keep an eye on it though, it will be back because it is beeing updated for newer firmwares.
For now call your provider and ask for the sim unlocking key.
You can also unlock your phone here http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=I9300 , it costs 15 euro (creditcard or paypal) and you need to be rooted before the unlock.
