Root Goldcard/Rom Question?

[jccage]

If I Root + Flash A Rom on my T-Mobile branded HTC Desire, do I NEED A goldcard to get back to an official RUU/Stock Rom?


Also, what's the best Sense 2.1/3.0 Rom that has good battery life?


Thanks

It'd be a pain to make one. Any confirmation on if I actually have to?

i think it's only orange that dont have an rru in uk, but dont quote me on that.

You shouldn't need a goldcard to run a T-Mobile branded RUU. You will to run any other.

I'd check that you can find a suitable RUU first, before doing anything else. The usual place to look is here. Assuming you are T-Mobile UK, then I think the most recent there is RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_UK_2.12.110.4_R_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157560_signed.zip.

So, my build number is 2.12.110.4, I should download this one? Shipped ROMs


So whatever custom Rom I'm on, I can just plug my phone in and run this and I'd be back on proper stock firmware?

Yes, that should be fine.

And apart from questioning the word "proper" for network-bloated firmware, yes, that's right

Like any RUU it will wipe the phone in the process, so make sure any data you care about are backed-up before doing it.
