Hi all
I justed looked at my Device Information and saw that my ROM version is 1.14.161.5.
I have a Vodafone branded HTC that I got one week ago.
Everyone else seems to have ROM versions in the range 1.19, both from posts I've seen on this forum and on the HTC site.
Does this mean I have a really old version or is this standard for the Vodafones?
Thanks

Hello.
I got my Desire in HK but did not think of having an Asian ROM on it.
Can I just flash a European ROM on it or will I run into problems?
I found a page with stock ROMS in the forum (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667) - which one should I use?
I would also like to change to an European ROM on my Desire from Asia. Is it possible to use one of the offical ROMS?
I just successfully flashed a WWE ROM and haven't run into any problems as of now.
I used one of the official ones available on xda. However I used a goldcard even though my device was unbranded.

Which ROM did you use? I am not so much into this, so what is a goldcard?
Did you have to set the phone up once again or did the settings survive? How about the installed apps?
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
This is the ROM I used. You can find it in the post you shared above. The second WWE ROM.
Preparing a Goldcard is a relatively easy process and you can find tutorials and in the android development section of the forum.
My settings didn't survive. As far as I know there is no complete backup solution for unrooted phones.

I guess I then will just wait for the next release - no point in spending hours to flash the same firmware version with no other benefits.
I have alot of respect for Communities such as this, but gotta say the information for the Desire seems to be all over the map. I'm have a little trouble navigating to find info I need.
I have just recieved a new Telus Desire. Pretty sure it is the SLCD version as I see no mention of AMOLED on the packaging.
Firmware version 2.1 update1
Baseband 32.41.00.32u_4.08.00.09
Kernel 2.6.29-e5576724
build 1.29.661.1
Would like to root and get Froyo installed. Seems to be lots of discussion on what works and what doesn't depending on if you have a UK version, an AMOLED version etc. I have no problems reading, but if someone can point me to the information that applies to my specific phone would probably leave me with alot less questions than if I start building my knowledge for rooting around an AMOLED UK version of the Desire that's not even going to work with my handset...........so help?
hey ive got the telus htc desire and have it rooted to leedroid rom. the guide i used is in the desire android development subsection. the guide is called: [TUT] Telus Desire HBoot 0.83 Root and Flash
worked flawlessly for me.
Thanks very much - I will start there. can you confirm your hboot was .83.0001 or just .83?
its hboot .83.0001
Could someone please clarify what is the latest HTC Desire HD software version for the UK please?
I have recently bought a HTC Desire HD a few days ago and the version on my brand new sim free DHD is 1.32.405.6 with no updates showing when attempting to search for an update via OTA.
Thing is I notice talk of a 1.72 build on this forum and was wondering have other DHD owners in the UK had this update yet or what exactly is the situation with newer software in the UK?
Also theres some other talk of this newer version being pulled? Just really trying to clarify what exactly is happening as I have read in the newer build battery life on the DHD has improved and this would be very welcome as with any other enhancements.

1.72 was removed by HTC as it seemed to be having some issues, especially with SD cards, the battery life improvements are down to the newer radio which can be found here, a quick caution newer OTA upgrades patch the exploit that is used to gain root so if you anticipate wanting to root your DHD and flash customs roms best to avoid them.

Thanks very much for clarifying, I was wondering why there was no update showing as people on here were talking about 1.72 and I have 1.32 with no updates showing.
I have rooted my DHD with visionary only to get Screen shot working and have done S-OFF only to get Adfree working.
I have got Rom Manager installed with Clockworkmod but haven't installed any custom roms as this is a brand new phone for me and to be honest I'm happy with the stock look of the phone. I only rooted and got S-OFF to get the two above things working. So basically when this 1.72 does come the root will be taken away I see.
Hi,
I have searched the Forum and so far not found a definitive answer. I have only just got my phone secondhand and I know that there is supposed to be an automatic update to sense 3 and gingerbread. However, I think my phone has been switched off for the last few weeks. Therefore, I was wondering if I have missed the update or has it still not been released in the UK. My phone was locked to T-Mobile, but has been unlocked and is now on Tesco (O2). I have checked the update option in the settings and it says that my phone is up to date, but I have read that this can also give a false reading. I will probably root my phone at some later date, but don't want to just yet, but would obviously like to run the latest official software. Any advice as to whether I have missed the update or not and what to do if I have would be very welcome.
Many thanks
Ian
The Sense 3.5 Update is not officialy released for the HTC Desire HD. It's only ported to the desire hd by custom roms.
(Don't shoot me if i'm wrong)
Cheersss
He / she was referring to the Sense 3 OTA update, not 3.5, from HTC. The last time I checked myself I was told there were no updates but if you look in the Desire HD development forum there is a post about a clean (ie no tweaks or customisation) and flashable file.
The desire hd does not recieve the sense 3 update because of the single core processor and as it is not a new phone. You can only get it through custom firmwares
