Incorrect, you can root the phone with GingerBreak - after unlocking the bootloader. And unlocking the bootloader can be done with an XTC (Payg) Clip.

Your tutorial sucks a little bit. You can do it with RUU exe file (which are available as in our forum). No need to have img. So you just click "next", instead of renaming etc.
But thank you for your afford!

Didn't quite try the above method first time around. Created the Gold Card using Gold Card Helper on a spare 8Gb SD card.
Then I used the official European RUU and it spat out an Error [140]: Bootloader Error. HBOOT is 0.90.0000
Then decided to try using the above zip file and lo and behold it does actually work.
Does this mean we may be able to trick the phone into flashing a non HTC firmware onto the device even if we haven't S-Offed or flashed a custom Recovery?

I've tried to flash HTC_Europe_1.33.401.2 but Orange rom version is 1.36.73.3 (mine is FR, don't know if the same for UK), hboot detect the update but fails to load it :'(

Hi,
I have the following problem:
after getting in bootmode (vol down + power), the phone loads the PG76IMG.zip correctly and then starts checking it. It also passes the CID check (goldcard). At around 99% it says "update failed - Main version is older - press power to ....
I'm trying to get from a English/HongKong 1.35 ROM to the most recent version of an European ROM (1.33)...
Any ideas?

it says main version is older what can i do?

Driving me wild (fire)

Hiya folks!
I unlocked my daughter Wildfire S hboot via HTC-Dev when it was first released and upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 EU to get rid of the 3 bloatware on the original rom, I did not root at the time as it was still in its very infant stage and did not wish to give my daughter my Rooted Desire through bricking hers!
Now the time has come to root as she is constantly telling me of a space shortage...I know we've all been there..so thinking the Hboot was still unlocked I ran through HTC super tool 3 , tried a couple of times with no success so realized there must be something I've missed, I checked the hboot was still unlocked in the pink text I believe it was to find that it no longer states unlocked, locked or any extra text just,

So my question is what is the next step? can I unlock it again some how?, I've rooted and I rom hop constantly with my Desire but this phone is being a royal pain! So did the upgrade relock the Hboot? cheers in advance folks,
Android Version 2.3.5

Go to htcdev and follow instructions to unlock your bootloader.Once it's unlocked, you should see "UNLOCKED" at the top when you boot ur phone.
And then you can root the phone.

OK Ta I wondered if I had to do it again, I guess as I have already updated to 2.3.5 from the first time I can skip that part and precede to straight step 1 ?

Did you tried this? I had problem with rooting my wfs, I can't find script i used right now. I'll update this post if i will find it.

What happened is that the 2.3.5 update changed your HBOOT from the previous one.......Go to htcdev.com start the unlock process and when prompted to download an RUU........ just download the RUU with the software more than the one you are having..... in your case the Europe RUU and just follow the instructions thereafter.....

Right got 'ERROR 190 ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED' please upgrade to 2.13.401.3 to apply this RUU, can I use a different RUU csoulr66 other than EU?
Wish I'd done this in one hit rather than in parts! Thanks in advance all!!!

You're 100% sure that you grabbed proper RUU? According to error you get and htcdev it should be this:
HTC EU 2.13.401.3 PG7610000 - sry can't give you direct link because of forum limitation for users under 8 posts

have you made a goldcard????? Because you will need one to run an RUU

I have a unlocked phone but I never hear about goldcard, are you sure it's needed ?

A goldcard is used to debrand the CID. Without a goldcard, you cant install diags/downgrade/etc because the CID is branded with your carrier.

I had this problem originally, all you have to do is run a stock rom RUU (From the list supplied by football in the stickies) with a goldcard. Then go back to the HTC dev website and upgrade the hboot.

All done, I could not down load any of the links from 'footballs' thread, busy..no free slots etc , so I found a Spanish site and upgraded to 'Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989' then all worked as it should following the instructions on the HTC DEV site, rooted and running SENSELESS_2.3.5_jermzii_v.1.2, thanks all!!

[Q] I need to go back to stock ROM but have no idea how

Hello all. I am a complete novice at Android phones. I have a Desire HD which I bought from a friend about 18 months ago who had installed CyanogenMod on the phone. I am now moving to Giffgaff and need to unlock the phone. I got an unlock code based on the IMEI and when I enter it, despite it saying network lock successful, the sim continues as unregistered and each time I reset the phone it asks me for the Network Unlock code again. I am told it is because of Cyanogen and I need to go back to the start.
Here is all the info I have:
Android Version : 2.3.7
Kernel Version : [email protected] #1
Mod Version : CyanogenMod 7.1.0-DesireHD
Build Number: GWK74
I have tried to follow a number of guides on this site but something always goes wrong and if I am honest I don't really get what I'm doing. I downloaded an .exe from StockRoms and that looked like it was going well but then died at the end with no specific errors.
Can anybody point me in the right directions as to how to achieve this?
Thanks!

I don't know - sorry - how do I know if I am S-OFF.
I think i have an unlocked Bootloader - I have ROM Manager that has been booted into recovery mode a few times while I've been trying these things. Again how can I know for sure though?

Am guessing this means I am not S-OFF?
I did see this screen before when I tried to use the Simlock feature. It says this when runs:
FAT32 init OK
OPEN MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Process done, reboot device?
Of course the process is not done.

With an unlocked bootloader you won't be able to flash a RUU. Besides you need a RUU for your device and not any RUU. If not, you will need a goldcard.

Is it possible to lock my bootloader? Is that a stupid question?
I have found the "right" RUU here:

Is there anything I need to do to make this work? S-OFF maybe?

Yes, it is possible to lock your bootloader. S-Off is no longer available; AAHK, the tool to get it, was retired this morning.

Thanks all, I sense that this could be tricky overall.
Perhaps a different approach is needed - is there another way to Sim Unlock the phone?

each time i tried to push via adb, it comes with err: verifying signature failed etc

I mean back to stock without facing issues with bootloader unlocked
Or if I can upgrade my bootloader
My concern is to flash Rom
The mistake u made causing all this mess is I choose relocked option from ahkit
But it does not shows any on screen message to select relock
However my observation is its only a single thing I am missing
After relock I tried to unlock but err failed message
Can fastboot flash recovery either
And additionally can't proceed with anything other then receiving error signature failed
Some one please direct me towards right direction.....

I don't get what you are trying to do, but if are already unlocked I don't get how you still have 0027 hboot version. Use the links in my signature to find out what the procedure is...

please have a look
also my software build is the higher one(3.13.161.5) i cant find any update at htc developers web
however as i mentioned before you can clearly see the one in attached image
unlocked one is the one i asked you last time to fastboot flash boot image it was originally on orange but left one is on vodafone uk

tried to install via htc developers as well

Mate check your RUU version and find the similar one in the htcdev site or let you tell me the information about your device,the way i mentioned and i will link the required ruu.
P.S: XDA community is useless for old devices(My experience is really bad.I discovered everything on my own).
