I dunno if this question has been posted before. But I'll go ahead anyway.
I'm using sp-froyo 2.2 ROM on my Tattoo. I want to flash back to the HTC ROM because it had better USB Tethering. Problem is the ROM Updating utility does not recognise my phone.
Can someone help me with this?
Thx in advance
Guess u have accidentally killed the pc sync app. Try restarting ur phone n then connect via HTC sync n flash. Let me know if this works, else I will suggest u another option

I suggest using HCDR.ROM. It's like stock, but with a few extras (like A2SD etc.)
Assuming you want the stock ROM
http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/general/howto-unrootdowngrade-your-htc-phone/
This should help you out. Check the section on downgrade without a PC. This procedure will unroot the phone.
I haven't tried any of your methods as of yet. I will do so in sometime. In the meanwhile, I moved the ROM update utility into my home computer which runs XP.
In this case, it detects my phone, says its erasing the data and tries to boot into bootloader. After that, it says that it cannot update. Any chance I can correct this instead of having to unroot the phone?

Hi,
I'm wondering if there's any proper way to unroot and put Legend to factory state again.
I have latest nightly cyanogen now.
I've tried several things (htc ruu install, flashing with stock rom, flashing with indigo bean, etc.) but every and each one of them finished with nothing - phone with question mark is shown and then it reboots.
So, none of this works. The next thing I want to try is to flash with modaco's custom rom via their instructions - maybe this will work? Is it any good idea?
I just start to wonder if I can break something by trying this stuff over and over.
Any tips?

I assume you'll have to flash to a rom such as modaco's. Well any rom that still has all the HTC sync and tethering rubbish still on it. As this is used to detect the phone when you run the ruu .exe files to flash back to stock.
Can anyone back me up on that? Also shouldn't this thread be in general?

I am not sure if it works, but give it a try. Hope it helps.
I'll write you a guide for the easiest way to unroot very shortly..

I have a HTC Hero (Sprint) that I rooted and all was fine. I downloaded a font changer app and used it once and it worked. When I went to change the font again I got the white screen with "HTC" on it and it was frozen. I tried to restore using Nandroid but then the startup screen keeps rebooting. It will do the animation and then start over and over. I tried to do a factory reset but nothing. Can I salvage my Hero? I am pretty new rooting. I used Z4root to do it.
Remove the battery, put it back in, hold down the home button while booting up and see if you can get to recovery. Once in recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot. If it does not work, you may need to reflash your ROM after a full wipe.
I can get into recovery and i went ahead and wiped cache but still having the issue with it looping the start up screen. How do I reflash my ROM. Sorry I am still new to this.
What ROM were you using...?
I had the phone running the 2.1 ROM from Sprint. All I have done to the phone is root it, installed ROM Manager and Titanium Backup, and deleted the Nascar app. I haven't installed a custom ROM or anything
Install this custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755795

Oh ok, then... it's pretty simple. Download the RUU (HTC or links provided on the wiki and run it from your computer. You will have to re-root it, as once you run the RUU, the phone will be reset to how it was when you got it from Sprint. The easiest to root, as per me, was the .5 version... you can find the links on the wiki.
Thank you I will try and let you know how it goes. I hope it works or my wife is going to kill me since I got my Hero 6 months ago...

I'd recommend this after he tries the custom ROM if it doesn't work, because he has recovery access
At least the way I suggested he keeps root since CM6 is already rooted
I tried to run "RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release" but I got a bootloader error. Do I need to try a different RUU?
I am downloading the 2.1 update from HTC to see if that one works, if not I think I will try CraigCraig suggestion.
I was able to get the 2.1 HTC update to work...i am back to being stock. Thank you for all the help and in the future i'll reroot and get a custom ROM. You guys are awesome
Glad that it is working fine... Enjoy! Reroot and use a custom ROM - CM highly recommended . You will love how the phone responds...
Hi all,
I have a big problem. I have my old Nexus One that never I root or modify. Today, after more than 1 year of use and reading various root guides I decide root my phone. My phone are updated from Google to 2.3.3 and say that is version GRI40. After finish all process of root the phone boot perfect and run perfect. Later I install also the Recovery-RA to can make backups, etc.
After this the phone not boot any more... Keep frozen at main screen with the big "X" and the padlock at bottom.
I can´t use any more my phone... any ideas or help? I forget one step?
I can boot perfect and run the Recovery(*) mode with Recovery-RA and all these options of this application.
All help are welcome!
THANKS!
(*) Recovery version is: RA-Passion-v2.2.1
Try flashing a new ROM, it sounds like it got corrupted when you installed RA. If you made a backup try restoring it, if not just do a factory reset and flash whatever ROM you pick.
Edit: You might also get more help if you ask in the Nexus forum.
OK, thanks!. I make a nandroid backup, that is the first that I try restore, but this not work. Now I try download any other. You know if exist exactly the same 2.3.3 that I have unmodified on my phone before I install RA? Thanks again!
There might be, just search for "stock ROM" in the nexus forum.
Thanks dbz!, I already use the GRI40_rooted_deodexed_busybox_apps2sd.zip that I found here and run again!!!
One more question: if I like on next update receive the update from Google that automatically update my phone like in the past before root, I can?
If you want to get an update from google you'll have to unroot. Usually when an update is released it isn't too long before a rooted version is released so just be patient.
You don't have to unroot the phone to get and install the OTA's in the future.
But when you apply a stock update you will loose root.

8gb new SD card
Was rooted to a cyanogen mod 6 (???)
The other day my sd card needed to be replaced. This card had my backup info on it, but became corrupted. I tried using various utilities in Win7 to try to fix the card, but had no success. Somewhere during the process of everything, I must have erased/corrupted the info on the phone itself, as it will no longer boot.It just freezes at the HTC screen.
I am trying to flash a new rom to the phone via the sd card using the hboot method. I have tried various roms, and had one actually start to install itself, but at the end it said the system info is older (not sure of the exact words) and would not proceed. So now I am stuck in what to do.
I want to get my phone working. I don't care if it is the basic stock OS, or something better at this point, as I can mod it once get it up and running. I am able to get to the clockword recovery prompts (if this helps any).
Any help in resolving my problem would be appreciated! Specific steps would even be better
I can't stand being without a phone... and this is driving me crazy!
U still have a recovery on ur phone?

i have clockwork, if that is what you are referring to???
Run the RUU from bootloader and restore to factory. Re-root and you'll be good to go.
If you still have Clockwork recovery you can flash a new ROM from there and the problem should be fixed as well.
Is this a new ROM you are working on?
Thank you.. I think I have it working again.. I downloaded a rom from this link... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581521 and it booted back up....
so, if I want to go to a different rom, say CM 7, or even a different one all together... I can do it from here using rom manager, right ??????? Thanks for your help!!!!!
Did you make sure you were fully charged. My phone sometimes refuses to get past the white HTC screen. If I make sure it's charged and sometimes I pull the battery and just let it sit. I always boots. It never did this on any rom previous to gingerbread. I would do this before spending an hour or two rru'ing or reflashing. My phone didn't seem to like the cwr 3.0.0.5 either, lots of booting issues. I had to downgrade back to 2.5.whatever. Looks like you got it fixed though.

Moved to Q&A...
Hi guys,
My phone has been working great until today. for some reason now when I install a new app, if it is forced close or if I reboot the phone, I lose all the setting for the apps. It only happens to new apps, the one installed before today are (so far) keeping the settings.
Has this ever happened to anyone? Please help. I know some of you might suggest a factory reset, but unless somebody had this problem and reset helped with it, I will hold off on that because if it ends up not working I will be left with all my apps losing their settings all the time.
I am on I9000T on stock Froyo 2.2.1 if that can help.
Anyone? Please I really need help on this one. This has to have happened to somebody here?
Problem with the firmware.!!
I think that there must be a problem with the Firmware .. Try updating your phone via kies or Flashing Gingerbread using ODIN..

Before this, you could try and do a factory reset and see if the problem persists! If it does, then reflash with Odin! Good Luck!
Thanks for replying guys. I have a question: if it is a file system problem, will a firmware update or factory reset help?
Also, I have had this firmware for almost a year now, why would have I a problem with it now, I am not rooted and I have attempted (yet) anything with flashing.
If ur phone has a file-system error Reflashing or factory resetting ur phone will help 4 sure as the files will be cleaned up and installed again..u phone may have dis problem due to any virus... u need to root ur phone 1st then flash gb

I have also had this problem come up on my phone. The phone just crashed on a Sat night and on reboot the software looked like I had taken it out the box brand new. Lucky I had Titanium Backup and restored everything.
Only thing then is that the vast majority of apps don't remember settings and on a start of the app it's in 'first time' mode.
Did a ROM flash using ODIN and default ROM (search this forum for instructions and software if you need it) and this fixed it properly - 12 hours in and no issues.
Credits to Titanium Backup here - like insurance you only know if it's any good when you actually need it.
