Returning to 2.2 (rootable) stock condition. - Desire HD General

Wanna sell my DHD but it currently has a CM7 build on it and I want it returned to stock with the option to still root it if necessary (make it more sellable).
Can anyone point me to a 2.2 RUU version that puts it in the still rootable version range please? It's originally UK SIM-Free model.
Failing that, how about a pre-locked HTC original 2.2 ROM that I can just flash to the rooted phone?
Thanks for any assistance.

The easiest rootable build is this one HERE - 1.32.405.6
Just download, and run.

Exactly what I was after, thanks a bunch.
I assume I need the HTC drivers installed before using this?

Yeah, just install HTC Sync before you run the RUU.

Stock RUU

Have they released a version of the stock ruu so ppl can put the phone back to stock??
that would be nice.
but i think there needs to be an upgrade available to acquire that.

Question about Nexus One SLCD and unlocking bootloader

Hi all,
i have an Nexus One SLCD and want to flash the US Stock Adroid rom so i can get all further updates directly from google OTA.
I don't need root and i don't care if unlocking my bootloader will void my warranty.
The problem is: all i can find are many FAQs about "rooting without unlocking the bootloader".
Since i'm not interested in any custom roms, can somebody please explain to me how i can flash the stock us rom on my german Nexus One SLCD?
Is there any faq for this available?
As i said my two important points are following:
- i want the us stock rom
- i want OTA updates
I would appreciate a short step-by-step description (i did this with my old Nexus One AMOLED but it seems like the older roms don't work with SLCD devices as the drivers are missing, so in don't know which rom to flash after i unlocked the bootloader).
thanks!
Look in Nexus One Wiki, "Unroot/Restore your Nexus", PASSIMG method.
Flash Korean FRF91 ROM.
AFAIK, there is no US ROM with SLCD support.

thanks! i checked the FAQ and have a question about this:
"Using PASSIMG.ZIP method (adapted from here):
1. Revert HBOOT to older version, if needed (required for pre-FRG33 stock builds and for flashing CyanogenMod ROMs).
* Use the following steps to flash PASSIMG.ZIP that differs from EPF30.
"
it says that i have to revert the HBOOT if i have pre-FRG33 stock build (which is the case for me).
but when opening the link the first post says:
"this is especially useful for people who wish to use the rooting method without unlocking the bootloader. If you already have an unlocked bootloader, there is no reason to follow this guide."
since i want to unlock my bootloader, do i need the above mentioned steps at all?
edit: just saw that you updated your reply. is there really no us rom supporting slcd? i was hoping this was the case as even developer phones should start being sold as SLCD versions...
If you have HBOOT 0.33, then you don't need to downgrade it - which leaves you with easy procedure. I've changed the Wiki to be more understandable.

sorry for the dumb question. But how can i check which HBOOT version i have and if i have HBOOT 0.33, does this mean i don't even have to unlock the bootloader (via fastboot) to be able to flash the US STock ROM?
Reboot to bootloader (fastboot), it'll show you the version at the top of the screen.
Unlocking the bootloader isn't required anyway. If all you want is to have a stock ROM - then keep the phone stock, since unlocking won't be of any use to you.
You can flash US stock ROM (FRF91 PASSIMG - link exists in Wiki), but if you happen to end up with a phone that goes black after "X" splash screen - don't say I didn't tell you

But wouldn't my Vodafone Firmware throw an error if i just try to flash a stock us rom? And i would rather try to directly flash the newest rom, because as you said i don't think that FRF91 supports lcd.
Edit:
sorry i just realized that i haven't even mentioned until now that i'm talking about an european vosdafone nexus one SLCD (FRF91)...
The newest FRG83 ROM doesn't exist yet in PASSIMG version that I'm aware of. If it would exist - or if it appears at some point - it'll be easily flashable over FRF91, no matter what build.
Anyway, looks like Korean ROM won't help you, since it doesn't seem to receive OTAs either (I guessed you have VF version). I'm not aware of any other "clean" FRF91 ROM that supports SLCD, and I've googled it for 1/2 hour. You could wait until FRG83 PASSIMG appears, I guess...
Thanks. I rooted my Nexus One now. Guess I have to wait until the passimg FRG83 emerges. But if I want to keep root I have to wait until the passimg is rooted correct? And how long does it usually take until a new stock build is provided as passimg with root?

I have found following link:

There is a link to a rom:

Can I use this to switch from frf91 Vodafone to stock us FRG 83 rom?

can anyone answer my above question?
my aim is to have a stock us rom (root is no must - so no problem if i lose it during the process. currently i have a rooted vodafone FRF91 device.)
No you can't use that to upgrade the Voda ROM.
As it stands now you'd have to root the phone (using UniversalAndroot if you want to stay locked), and use fastboot or flash_image to "update" system.img and boot.img to the USA/Google orginal ones.

i have unlocked my bootloader now and rooted my device. is there any manual on how i can update system.img and boot.img with fastboot. And where can i find those files? Is there a risk to get a blank screen (SLCD)?

2.2.2 streak rom question

I just recently picked up a dell streak. It's brand new with what I'm guessing it the latest shipped rom which is build number 15274 running android version 2.2.2
All I see is custom roms and reflashing back to other roms to root....blah blah blah...is there a way to just root my current rom and not have to flash a completely new one? I'm all for supporting the community, I'd just like to keep this as device as clean as possible and remove all the bloatware.

Download SuperOneClick v1.5.5 and root away. Dont forget to put your phone into USB debugging mode before rooting, its very important that you do that. Or just follow the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925853 good luck.
Wow thanks, I totally skipped over that post!!! I guess from what I was reading I was expecting the whole process to be a lot more complicated.
Thanks a ton!
Anytime.

How come Dell don't push out the 2.2.2 version OTA to their customers?
I check for updates every day, but have just once received any. (2.2)
Their way of saying; "we just don't give a f*ck about our customers"?
You should have gotten that update weeks ago. It's been OTA for probably about a month now. And I don't know how much you've read, but a lot of what happened with not updating from 1.6 was probably AT&T's fault because they wouldn't okay the build (speculated). Dell had the source up for 2.2 for a long time, if I remember correctly.
I'm on unlocked stock EU ROM since day one. Just to clarify.
Do you mean the 2.2.2 was shipped OTA, for EU users too?
Ohhh. Didn't notice you were on EU. I don't know if Dell released one for EU yet (probably hasn't since you don't have the option to OTA). Just remember that it's not just the phone maker responsible for updates, the carrier has some say in it, too. Are you still on 1.6? Because you could always try out DJ Steve's ROM if you wanted to try something different.
No, the one OTA update I received, was the 1.6 --> 2.2 on last October.
Since then - nothing. I guess it's only in America people get the 2.2.2.
Thanx for taking time to reply.
No problem, haha. I hope you get it soon
I really want the update to, I'm in the Uk and I'm still on 2.2, I would do it myself but its just to complicated and don't wanna mess up my phone. Has anyone in the Uk got the 2.2.2 upgrade? And to be honest I really wont the 2.3 upgrade, but seeing as we still don't have the 2.2.2 upgrade, I think we'll be waiting a long time :'(
2.2.2?
If someone updated from 1.6, to the "non official" 2.2, is there any difference between it and 2.2.2?
2.2.2 is supposedly immune to the malware loaded from the 50 or so infested apps that Google removed recently from the market.

Hello,just wait or try to find the latest rom on the forum ...
You will not receive the OTA udate on a rooted handset. You will either have to unroot and wait for the 3 software release or download the stock 2.3 rom and install.
can i not just unroot some how and leave it on the stock unbranded to be able to recieve the ota update?

I have my phone rooted and i receive the OTA update saturday ...
I have just re installed visionary to attempt to unroot my dhd - but it says my device does not appear to be rooted!?!!
maybe i should just install the RUU
does anybody have the link?
cheers
You should instal 1.32 ruu exe then do temp root through visionary. Open the radio s-off tool which you can find somewhere on the forum and you need to do stock cid which is HTC_001 and you'll receive update
Forgot to add that I have a three branded dhd but now it's unbranded
1.32 can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824357
radio s-off here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
and you'll receive update
legend!! cheers mate, its now found the update...
now just hope the install doesnt crash or anything
if you have original recovery and you didn't uninstall any system apps you'll be fine

doubt - Streack_360_17397_00.pkg

Hello everyone!
I have unlocked the device of origin. By OTA upgraded to version 2.2.2 (GAUSB1A135100-EU), Through The Dell website.
My doubt is:
Is there any latest official update?
Version PKG - Streack_360_17397_00.pkg, is an official update, the software version I have?
Is it advisable to install this version, or should I wait?
Thanks

351 is the latest official european rom released by dell, 360 is the latest released rom that was released for hong kong i think.
Differences are minor, but 360 is the slightly better newer rom, now, here is the thing, it doesn't matter if you put 360 on your device then don't like it, or want to return the phone for warranty, becuase you can simply go back to 351 by flashing the 351 recovery.img and 351 pkg file.

hi would you please make the update.pkg of the GAUSB1A135100-EU available so i can download it? on the wiki theres the 351 update but its the GAUSB1A135100-US version not the EU, im in the EU too Italy) and i might want to try if theres any difference between using a US version and using an EU version.
once you did the ota update the update.pkg file should stay in your root directory of your sd card unless you delete it. just copy that to your pc
351 and 360 are ROMs for unlocked (i.e. Retail) Streaks bought direct from Dell. The latest HK ROM is 354. The two can be distinguished by their region numbers: 00 for Retail, 11 for HK.
The only real difference between 351 and 360 is the bundleware is updated, so upgrading isn't essential.
There is no such thing as a "European-only" 351 or "US-only" 360. The "EU" and "US" tags in the About menu are based on the Streak itself, not the ROM.

thanks for this info, so they are identical its only the TAG dell gives to distinguish them or there are some hardware differences between the eu and the us?
If there is a hardware difference, I couldn't tell you what it is.

This forum has everything you need to root your Streak. I should know, I took the time to do it a couple months ago - and yet you'll note that my first posts here were only yesterday.
Trust me, you'll be much better off reading the forums and doing some research about rooting rather than having someone spoon feed it all to you. The process is fairly straightforward, but I'd advise knowing what you're doing rather than blindly following a list of instructions.
But to start you off, the first thing you'll want to do is get Streakmod Recovery installed.
Search away,plz don't dig out a old thread for no reason.
