Root Correct me if I'm wrong (un root)

I am rooted in stock software. To unroot I simply choose the correct option in the aahk. However, does this flash an orange branded RUU? Would it matter if my phone was running htc firmware for warranty work?
 
The AAHK would put you on unrooted, unbranded stock firmware, not Orange branded. It shouldn't be a problem if you you need to return for shareware issue under warranty if your phone is more than 6 months old, Orange should just return it to HTC to look at.

Do you have a hardware problem?
 
Nope. Just thinking, if ics is coming out I don't want ti be waiting 6 months for orange to roll it out. Can I update to ics on the HTC software ota?
 
Did you root with the AAHK? Is so, you can revert to stock (unbranded) and you should get ICS as an unbranded OTA direct from HTC.

Have you not thought about trying a custom ICS ROM?

Worth bearing in mind that the warranty with HTC/Orange would depend on you having got the phone from them!
 
I haven't given a thought to a custom rom. Is there one that works? Or will there be a rom based on the DHD firmware like ARHD?
 
I guess you mean an ICS ROM with HTC's Sense overlay? I am sure that there will be one, which would be based on an official DHD ICS release.

There is this which is a port from the HTC One V or this which is another port of the One V that would have to tide you over.
 
It said in one if these posts that they aren't fully working or good enough for everyday use. Also, does the camera work?
 
The camera won't work 100% properly in any ICS ROM unfortunately. Until HTC release their own variation of ICS for the DHD it probably won't as the devs will need to rip the code from HTC's release.
 
As El Presidente says, the camera is not working fully at the moment, but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. ICS isn't available yet for the DHD yet anyway so, unless you use the camera a lot, it could be worth a try!!
 
... I'm happy waiting. How long after the oficial release will it take to make a custom rom for it? My sister has the DHD on Vodafone so is bound to get it immediately :-(
 
Depends when folk can get their hands on an RUU. Mike, the ARHD guy, normally gets them out before the official release, he's pretty fast.

He's even got a ROM out for the One X and that isn't released until next month.
 
It's not easy to say... I know that Vodafone seem to get their updates almost straight away and there is a thread on here that says HTC should be releasing it in the next couple of months, but if you are carrier branded, then you could be waiting AGES (just thinking back to the Gingerbread Update)!
 
As you you rooted with the AAHK, then you would be able to unroot (choose the Unbranded WWE RUU and it will put you back to stock, HTC) - you would then get the update direct from HTC, when they roll it out!

what would happen if i needed stock orange branded sw
 
Do you mean that if you wanted to unroot and put back on to branded software for a hardware warranty claim?

I think you should be able to just run a branded ruu, but wouldn't like to say for certain.
