so yeah i might have to send my phone to htc for maintenance as im having random reboots constantly... need to unroot and restore to factory...

how do i do this ?

guide for RUU ... and which one do i need .

was unbranded htc desire uk.. from carphone warehouse..
 
fastboot oem boot and tell us the cid

you should have taken note on software versions etc before you rooted or did anything to the device
 
by doing fastboot oem boot

you will need to boot to fastboot (holding back and power)
you will need the sdk tools so you can use fastboot from a pc

the type

fastboot oem boot. the device will reboot and five you a load of info in the cmd prompt. there will be a section that says CID IS

its not a case if just assuming what one you need as the downloads are large and if its the wrong one it will give you a CID error
 
run the command i asked
when connected to your computer (from the android sdk folder)

altho at a guess you are either on 2.29.405.2 or 2.29.405.5 due to the radio version

best bet is to try downloading the 2.29.405.5 RUU from shipped roms

use a download manager like freedownloadmanager to ensure its downloaded without error
 
yes i was on 2.29.405.5 before i rooted, as i remember having the ota update

so how do i run an RUU ...

and i just phoned where i got the phone from and they said it would take 28 days for the turn around, so ill be using an old phone till then, how do i extract my contacts from this to external so i can view them on my laptop..
 
Yes you connect your phone and run the .exe. It returns it completely to stock. No way they can tell.
 
sweet... gonna let it run in stock for a day or so to see if it still reboots and overheats... apparently its a motherboard problem, but research seen people with this problem htc return the phone with a message of nothing was wrong with the phone and they just run an RUU..

hmm anyone had repairs done by htc and know if they are quicker than their predicted times...
 
ok run the ruu ... its staying on htc screen...:\ gonna leave it there while i jump in shower see if it changes by time im back down.

how long should it stay on there after an ruu exactly :\ ...
 
ok took the sd card out and it has booted up fine, running stnadrad phone software again and done the setup so its now back to factory gonna leave it a day or so and see if it still has the problems

gonna reinstall everything back on and see how long it lasts...
