Currently running Cyanogenmod 7.1 on my Desire (GSM), but I'm looking at going back to stock ROM as I'm having so many problems with cyanogenmod (I had oxygen beforehand, and that had problems too). I just want a nice operating system now, so standard makes sense (pun intended).
I've tried a couple of RUU's from here

and

and

But everytime I run the exe it starts to unroot but thens tops and says it couldn't be completed. Any ideas?
Phone is unbranded, running on Vodafone UK network.

got your "Goldcard"? :wink:

Saw the word mentioned in a few different places but ignored it. Is it something I need to do? Seen this, but seems a mission and a half!
-
It's easy peasy, though I'm guessing you need one as I needed on on my Legend on my wifes Wildfire needed one.
There is an application (PC based, not phone based) that turns your SD card into the required Goldcard, I'll find it for you.

Nice one Jay, that's be awesome if you could find it :smiley:

Had a very quick look for the latest download of Goldcard Tool, but can't find it, here are the steps and downloads for an older version.

Awesome cheers Jay. Just a quick question, can I use the microSD card in the phone or does it have to be a spare?
-
Can be any SD card, just make sure you take a backup of it first "just in case" - I'm sure the Goldcard tool lets you use your current SD card without fecking it up, but take a backup just to be sure :wink:
-
still not working :undecided:
-
What method did you use to root it? :lipsrsealed:
-
unrevoked :undecided:
-
error 140 bootloader version error on the RUU screen.
Searched google and apparently it's because you can't downgrade to an older image :undecided:
-
Ah, you probably have a custom HBOOT & recovery ? What do you see when you restart holding vol - down and power?
You may also be using the incorrect RUU, try another UK version for your mobile provider, assuming you got the phone locked?
Also try the steps at the bottom of this page:

EDIT: You sure the Goldcard was created properly? :undecided:
-
Goldcard was created properly, at least it was successful on the pop up anyway :undecided:
Stock boot, it goes to recovery if I hold vold down + power.
-
Make sure you're using an RUU for your mobile provider in the UK, the RUU's check the CID and if they don't match to what it's expecting it won't install - though I thought Goldcard worked around that :undecided:
