Confused by RUU's - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to unroot my unlocked, S-Off HTC Desire before I sell it as the retailer won't accept it if it's rooted.
How do I know which RUU I need? (It's a GSM model from the UK and I think it was originally on TMobile UK before I had it unlocked). Obviously I want to keep it unlocked.

Use the 2.3 RUU.

Can you still use your phone? If so, just create a goldcard now and rerun the ruu.

Where'd you get the phone and which ROM did you use?
EDIT: Try this one:

It's the Asian RUU, unbranded but regional

i can use the phone .... but it was not carrier logo phone. it was non branded.
do i still need to use gold card .
secondly if i use gold card and flash the WWE ruu and skip tht 131 error is there any risk of bricking?

i got it from a local store but i once put up a question on htc asia website (they ask for phone IMEI number) .... they sent me a mail saying my phone is UK version so i need to contact the customer services of htc uk. when i contacted them they replied
and its not carrier labelled ... i never had to make a gold card to root it in the first place
just tried the downgrade utility... it days i need goldcard.....
device CID is VODAP001.....
so i should just make a goldcard and install 2.10 Ruu WEE rom or do i need to look for some specific rom of some specific carrier?
also if i need to download any specific carrier branded RUU will it relock my phone to that carrier after flashing RUU? if so how to stop that.
thanks for your replies
That's a Vodafone handset, try this one:

Vodafone stopped branding the phone after the first FroYo update but it still have a Vodafone product code so you still need Vodafone RUUs

thank you very much for the link. do i need to worry about phone locking to vodafone network after RUU install? i dont have vodafone sim with me at the moment?
No, their phones aren't sim locked (or shouldn't be)

German T-Mobile DHD (ENG S-OFF) - Revert to Stock for Warranty

Hello,
i hope i'm in the right section now.
I need to send my T-Mobile branded DHD to htc for a warranty repair and i need to revert to stock.
I have a couple of questions about that:
1) If i just run a RUU i will still be S-OFF, so what do i have to do before i run the RUU? Something special to do because ENG S-OFF?
2) What about SuperCID? I think i needed to change it during S-OFF Process (i don't remember, sorry)
3) What RUU can i use? I already reverted my HTC Flyer and there i needed the exact RUU which it was delivered with (i think because of the HBOOT version of GB / HC). As i don't know what the delivery Software version was (buyed it when it just came out) i don't know which RUU i need.
Thanks for help!
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_d...nd_auslieferungszustand_wiederherstellen.html There is all you need (assuming that you are German).
I used the above posted manual and had no warranty problems!
Good Luck
Thanks, then i'll try it.
What is RUU?
I have a unlocked Inspire 4G(att, bought it rooted of ebay) but does the tutorital from that website work for me too?

[Q] Which RUU to use?

So, I bought my HTC One X from Virgin Australia, which is a subsidiary of Optus Australia, thus I always thought I was supposed to use the Optus RUU. However, when I checked my CID, it turns out it was HTC__023, which is the international unbranded CID, so I'm not sure if I still can use the Optus RUU. My version-main is 1.29.728.12. Is it still fine to use the Optus RUU? If not, which RUU should I use?
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.29.728.12_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_261350_signed.exe
Thank you .

[Q] Converting Unlocked M9 to other RUU

I have the carrier unlocked m9 straight from HTC. I was wondering if you could flash something like the dev edition RUU or say the T-Mobile RUU on it with out any failure? If so what would be the pros and cons of each one? I have been led to understand that the only difference between the Dev and the Unlocked is that the bootloader is unlocked which is no big deal bc I'm unlocked and s-off.
The only reason I would be interested in flashing the T-mobile RUU is for the wifi calling and texting capabilities.
(I am aware that you can change both the CID and the MID through fastboot.)

Revert unlocked HTC 10 that was converted to a Verizon HTC 10 back to US unlocked?

I got a red HTC 10 back when they first came out and, being on Verizon, knew I'd have to chance CID and all that to Verizon and flash a Verizon RUU in order to get it work. It all worked just fine and I haven't had any issues since following this guide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/guide-convert-unlocked-to-verizon-t3380615. Currently my 10 is running a custom ROM with Verizon settings, is S-Off and has the bootloader unlocked.
Now, I'm considering selling this device, but need to return it to the US unlocked firmware, radios, etc. before I do (I am planning on keeping S-off and bootloader unlocked for selling it). I assume all I need to do is follow the steps that got me there in reverse, essentially. But I have a few questions before I attempt this:
1) I'm not sure which CID I should use?
2) After changing the CID back, do I just flash the US unlocked RUU and I'm good to go?
Thanks.
1) CID: BS_US001 or BS_US002
2) correct
You might want to consider selling it as is. I sold a red unlocked converted to Verizon on eBay and it sold pretty quickly. This was last month.
