Guest bbawden Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hello everyone. I got my Desire HD on contract with Orange. I have rooted it, and flashed the MCR which is great. Some of the additional apps that were on the Orange stock ROM I quite liked, but I didn't bother taking a backup of the ROM, as I thought "it's brand new so if I don't like the MCR I can just do a factory reset" Oops - a factory reset doesn't restore the original ROM, but just wipes the data and keeps the MCR. Tell me I'm not imagining it that this wasn't the case on my old standard Desire? It's a minor irritation that I can't get those apps I liked, but it is more of a problem if I ever want to unroot my phone (say I need to return it) and get it back to shipping condition. So my question is: is there anywhere I can download the Orange ROM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EddyOS Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) When you flash a new ROM it erases the old one, always been this way. Doing a hard reset will reset the ROM currently on the handset The Orange RUU is on XDA EDIT: Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840881 Edited December 13, 2010 by EddyOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bbawden Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Great, that RUU works perfectly. Now, does anyone know how I can extract the system apps from that ROM so I can back up the apk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EddyOS Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Root, download Android Commander (if you don't know how to use adb), Pull the APKs in question from the phone and keep them somewhere safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know full well how to use pull with adb. I just didn't think of it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
