I wanted to turn my HTC Dream Dev phone into a Wifi Tether. I followed the Wiki article and did not realize that I had flashed a T-Mobile .nbh file. I want to restore the Dev Phone back to its original state and remove T-Mobile from my Dev Phone. I removed the T-Mobile.nbh setup file from my SD card, but the device is still booting the T-Mobile Android launch.
It is a 2008 European HTC Dream. I have loved this phone for years. Please help me.
I have searched google for hours now, and no tangible help. I am not a computer science expert and perhaps my search was amateur at best.
What you might need to know:
I had no recovery, backup.
I have AT&T gophone SIM in my Dev before I flashed it.
The Link:
Wiki: -.- cannot post
Question: How do return back to the orginal Dev device and remove the TMOBILE .nbh boot
You can try orange.nbh and place it on your sdcard. Boot while holding camera just like your dreaming .nbh
If thisnt isn't good enough you can either
Flash dev rom from fastboot (must have proper spl)
Flash dev rom from recovery (may not work with curent recovery probably need to flash amonra etc)
By the way you can find the official developers rom (presumibly what you had in xda - search in the dev threads) if you can't find it ill post a link next time I'm by a computer)
Not sure why you want to go back to this as there are many other roms far superior to that old dev rom

I will address the other suggestions tomorrow with proper response.
I do not know anything about programming or modification of cellular technology, however I believe working 10 hours on a problem qualifies me to have a simple understanding.
I tried using the orange.nbh, however the Firmware, Radio and possible other additions did not match the current setup.
I cannot utlize FastBoot on my phone because I do not have proper tutorial information, moreover I tried <enter>something.adb.enable 1<enter> that too failed. I will look for the dev rom first thing in the morning. I have tried to learn how to use fastboot via youtube videos and large forum threads. I hope this will help me tomorrow.
There are better rom(s) out there? Please suggest, I just want to remove a provider restriction from my unlocked Dev phone. I should have never have followed the Wiki. I was happy with no provider and using various gophone SIM cards when plans became cheaper.
I just want this stifling .nph file off my system and back to original dev. If I am feeling bold, I will try to wifi tether my dev phone again.
Thank you for such a quick reply. I am very much in your debt.
Once your phone is sim unlocked (yours was a dev phone so it was) it always will be. The reason changing roms sometimes won't allow you to use other providers is a problem with he apn. Settings and you will have to mannualy change them. Find any rom you like and if your sim won't work then you need to change those apn settings.

After Flash, my phone reads as:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Where do I find and how do I install the proper credentials, so my phone is back to the Orange ROM or the ROM you recommend. Thank you again.
I know my phone is not rooted, I tried just downloading a WiFi tether app weeks ago and nothing happened.
Well it was rooted as a dev phone, by flashing the dreaming.nbh you unrooted your phone and downgraded your firmware, radio, spl, and recovery. You now need to upgrade all of this. Sim is still unlocked though.
Continue following those steps in the wiki, but it looks like you may need to flash dreaming.nbh again for it looks as if you update your radio since the first flash

I cannot access any normal user interface. I do not have any access to the phone, is it still possible to install fastboot and update without accessing the basic interface on the phone? i.e Settings.
Step 1: Flash DREAIMG.nbh
Step 2: Flash Firmware
Step 3: Flash Radio
Step 4: Flash SPL
Step 5: Flash Recovery
Please edit my terminology if not correct. I know nothing about computers and I am about to pull my hair out. The guides are for someone who has experience with computer software installation from a terminal. I do not.
Would it be better to just get a T-Mobile SIM card and work from there?
My Windows 7 OS is not recognizing my HTC G1 as a mass storage device. Error in reading device properties, may be corrupt.
Windows isn't recognising phone because you need the proper drivers. If you don't want to use adb and fastboot that's ok you don't have to.
Steps-
Put files needed on root of sd card
All will be found in that cyanogen how to root wiki
Dreaming.nbh, radio, danger spl, and amonra recovery
1 boot phone while holding camera (it will find dreming.nbh and say yes after about 5min it will finish and say done
2 boot into phone normally, sign in, download telnet from market
From home screen hit "enter" twice then type "telnetd"
Then open telnet and hit enter then type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
When done you get ##
3boot into recovery holding home while powering on here you can flash radio hboot and rom
4 flash radio
5 flash spl
6 flash rom (and gapps if needed)
Your done!

That Wiki is what caused the problem in the first place. I have been going back and forth between this guide, the fastboot guide, and the xda-develop guide.
SDK manager does not recognize G1 as the mass storage device. It does not recognize it at all, I cannot run the bypass WiFi. I do not have a T-Mobile provider account and cannot log in to GMail via AT&T SIM.
I have been doing this song and dance for the last 10 hours. I am really frustrated. Should I just buy a T-Mobile SIM card?

However, the computer still does not recognize my HTC G1. I have included in PATH ;C:\android-tools
The terminal does not recognize any location. I have Windows 7 OS.
If you didn't manually point to the drivers windows may have guesses so try plugging the phone in and seeing which driver pops up and then change it to the proper one. Also if you type adb from the cnd make sure it looks good, if it says no such directory you didn't set the patch correctly

The terminal closes and does not stay open.

If this is normal, please let me know.
Not normal, you need to change the enviromental variables. If you can't find the right value then erase what you put in the path. Then go to folder adb is in, hold down shift and right click, then click open cmd here. Type adb

What ROM do you recommend I should get?
I cannot thank you enough for you assistance. I really do appreciate everything you have done for me. I think I passed this crash course.
Hi there,
I've been searching forums and web pages for days now to find a guide to rooting the HTC Desire C. There is no sub-forum for this phone and I've only been able to find about 4 small threads on this device so I'm posting here. I have some dev knowledge but, nothing to do with mobile devices so excuse my ignorance if you can.
I've tried superOneClick and z4root to no avail. Didn't think it would be this tricky to find a way to root the phone. If any one can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful or if they can, maybe you know a decent guide to explaining how root access is obtained so I can try it myself(if possible).
Thanks for any information.
On MoDaCo, there seems to be a method to root the Desire C. See http://www.modaco.com/topic/355158-r1-superboot-how-to-root-the-htc-desire-c/
Thanks a lot. That guide did the job.

Im a completed noob!!! I've registered with HTC dev to get the unlock code for my desire c but cant get my cmd to understand what I'm trying to do! I'm using my laptop which runs windows 7. Each time I type the comand 'Android>...' & press enter I just get the message 'don't recognise Android as an internal or external drive' ... please please please help!! ... again I must stress I'm a very very noob who don't know much so any help is very welcome... ta
@rob# I have gone through this process, so I know it works! When you are in the command prompt window you must change directory to where you have saved the files so for example if you saved them in a directory 'c:\android' and your command prompt is 'c:\username\whatever' then your command should be 'cd \android' then the instructions should work.....
:fingers-crossed:Thanks bobmcann, brilliant advice & that bit worked fine... but then I did something else wrong!!! I completed all the unlock bit via the cmd screen, got my e-mail message from htc to tell me what to do next & then my power failed on my pc! I've since tried to redo everything the HTC dev page says but when I try to generate another unlock code everything just hangs & nothing happens for about 15 mins, then I get bored, disconnect everything & turn off my pc/phone... what am I doing wrong now!!?!! is there an easy way to fix this or have I screwed everything up? Please help me (again! - I will get better at this I promise) - thanks
@rob# you removed the device while trying to install a root or unlocking ur bootloader, tbh am supprized it isnt fully bricked, try reinstalling everything from the start
The rooting method works, but is there any unroot procedure?
After having the desire successfully connected and starting the bat-file I always get the following error message: "booting....failed <remote: not allowed>". What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
I have problems with Android 1.0 driver. It doesnt works so I cant root the phone. How can I solved this problem? Where I can find driver? Thanks for replys.
I used the guide posted on modaco and it worked fine for me. Posting some screenshots or a more detailed explanation of what you're typing and what you're seeing would allow people to help figure out why you're having issues.

You have to follow the instructions very closely on the HTCdev website -- make sure you have all the software they ask for including:
Android SDK Tools
HTC Sync Manager
Java Runtime
All three of these are at the upper right corner of the first page of instructions. Once you've downloaded the HTC Sync Manager, an OS reboot should then fix it. When you connect your phone the driver should self-install.

i am already HTC Dev user so just logged in and got token successfully.
finally i saw 'unlock bootlaoder?' screen on the last step, selected 'yes' and rebooted.
but my device is still locked.
ive tried all process once again but 'unlock bootloader?' screen on the last step doesnt appear on my device anymore....
i got token again and again but all of them didnt work.(even first one doesnt work anymore: unlock bootloader screen doesnt appear)
ive tried re-lock my device with this command: fastboot oem lock
my device re-locked successfully(RE-LOCKED appeared on the top of screen at bootloader menu)
and then, i tried to unlock again, 'unlock bootloader?' screen successfully appeared on the last step.
i selected 'yes' and rebooted
BUT IT IS STILL LOCKED.
i followed this step a couple of times but nothing worked.
i dunno what the problem is...
i didnt have any errors on entire step to unlock.
anybody can help me to unlock my device???

Here you go buddy - follow Mike's guide here - works fine , all I had to do was choose a different custom back up than the one posted in the guide and not change the name to recovery.img , but leave the one you select as named - like recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7 , so your final command line would would read fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7 , see the guide and you'll understand what im on about
you can search XDA for the custom recovery you want and also have a look here

Question/issues solved - thread done!
Picture of M7 screen with information: http://imgur.com/a/l6hIg
Basically, last year I traded this phone for my current phone at the time with a T-Mobile employee.
Got home and reset everything, setup everything to my liking, etc.
I then tried to go through the rooting process and all that but it didn't work (sadly, this was a while ago and I don't remember the exact issue...).
I tried everything I could but nothing worked and so I gave up since the phone was working fine other than it not being 'rootable'.
Fast forward to a couple days ago and I found a great deal on the M8 and have been using it to make sure it is everything the seller said it would be.
Then my friend said he wants to buy my M7 and I said sure but I need some time to backup my stuff and clear/reset the phone.
So the real details/interesting part of the situation is this:
Between when I got the M7 and a couple days ago the performance of the M7 has degraded and by this I mean that I have to restart the phone to get mobile data working (even though the symbol shows 4g/LTE), some apps have randomly crashed (namely Maps but it seems updates have fixed that). When I did try to root and all that, I installed TitaniumBackUp Pro and Root Explorer (here comes the interesting part) - sometimes TPUP has root access and sometimes it doesn't have root access; however, Root Explorer has always worked for what I needed (looking for downloaded files).
So is it possible to somehow properly root the phone and then unroot to make sure everything is good to go for my friend or do I need to just unroot the phone? Or do I simply need to do a factory reset (I am fine with this since I have all my contacts on the M8 already)? I haven't touched any software/rooting stuff since my 1 and only attempt to root the phone.
Sorry for the wall of text and I did try searching for similar posts/threads but couldn't (maybe I searched the wrong words?) and please feel free to ask questions for clarification and I will do my best to respond ASAP! Thank you in advance for your help.

@alray:
Thanks for the quick reply. I will gladly just reset to stock if that's the easiest/best method.
I currently don't have ADB setup on either computer since I haven't been in the rooting game for a long while now.
As of now I'm on my MacBook Pro 13" with Retina display and Mac OSX 10.9.4 and internet connection.
My home Windows desktop currently doesn't have internet due to some issues at home...
So I'm guessing the first thing is to setup ADB on the Mac (if possible?), though I haven't done it before on a Mac.
Thanks.

So you have probably unlocked the bootloader in your attempt to root the phone. When you unlock the bootloader, it wipe users data but it also wipe some preloaded app by HTC in /data/preload. Problem is your friend will not be able to install ota updates with those missing files.
Good news is that there is a ruu for your phone version you could use to reset the phone back to stock and it will also wipe all your personal data at the same time, like if the phone was new (no need to factory reset). The ruu is a .exe file so you'll need a windows computer and because of the hboot version on the phone (1.44) you can't use windows 8.1 to flash the ruu, you'll need windows 7. Because your phone is S-ON, you'll also need to relock the bootloader before flashing the RUU. After flashing it, the phone will be wiped from any user data and ready to take ota updates.
so
relock bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem relock
download the 1.27.531.11 ruu.exe from here
with the phone booted in bootloader mode or booted in the OS and connected to the windows 7 pc, lauch the ruu.exe and follow simple instructions so the ruu.exe will flash the phone automatically.
sell the phone to your friend

So I tried the bootlock command but then got the following error/problem (see screen shot).
I was either in the wrong mode or did stuff in the wrong order...
What I did:
1) open Terminal app
2) move to the adb/fastboot folder on Mac
3) type in the fastboot oem relock command
4) then received the attached screen shot error/problem.
I have a feeling the problem is going to be a bit tougher to solve than anticipated...
EDIT:
I have managed to screw up my device by doing factory reset and getting rid of the OS
EDIT 2:
I have managed to solve the above issue of no OS by getting CM 10 installed and working.
Now I need to get things back to stock to sell to my friend.

1) use the fastboot oem lock command
2) install the RUU.exe that you linked to me (I have it downloaded) on a Windows 7 computer (which I have)
3) then everything should be good to go and I can sell to my friend
Question:
Do I need to have HTC Sync Manager and/or USB drivers installed on the Windows 7 computer for the above process to work?

I don't think that the M7 is communicating with the computer/adb based on the screen shot attached and that after typing in the command to lock the bootloader, it keeps waiting for device.

Yeah, the drivers installed just fine.
However, I actually just showed my friend the phone with CM10 on it and told him the pros/cons and he was just fine with everything since he just wanted a phone that would work and not freeze/lag like his current phone does.
So thank you for your help and the situation has been solved!
My phone connects fine with adb. I tooted with towelroot, i have the D415 (see screenshot) i have run the commands on a pc several time with no errors. I tried it with my terminal emulator severaIm times and it says "decixe not found) HAHHA its just funny to me. I want to unlock this bootloader i even tried a factory cable (for kindle and only once) no dice. I get download mode and thats it. I know I must be doing somethimg wrong but damned if i can figure what. Pc is windows 764 bit. I like to have a custom rexovery and i have heard i can put onw like this (locked) but i did that to another device and to make it short it sits in a drawer being brand new and broken. Apparently those instructioms are correct because there are many success stories. I followed the directions like this is my last phone for a whi

Do you need to unlock the bootloader on d415? I taught you could flash a custom recovery without unlocking... (I don't own one!)

For starters, you need the fastboot executable for Windows to unlock the device, not ADB. The minimal ADB version, also applies to fastboot, is 1.0.31. Secondly, you must enable fastboot mode on the device beforehand. Thirdly, unless LG has changed things in the last month or so, the bootloader on the LG-D415 is unlocked.
To enable fastboot mode, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-fastboot-l90-d415-t2827825
To unlock the bootloader, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-t-mobile-l90-t2836457. Shouldn't be necessary tho . Won't hurt anything to go thru the process however.
Thank you, i have fastboot and adb (fixed a bricked kindle last week!!) I wasnt sure about the bootloader and iwasnt gunna be without a recovery like i was with my lg lucud!!!
And excuse my unintelligible post above. New size screen?
