[Q] How do I see a "branding" and any news on updates to froyo in Switzerland?

[Q] How do I see a "branding" and any news on updates to froyo in Switzerland?
Hello everyone
Please accept my apologies for my rather noobish questions. I am new to that Android business as I was using "normal" mobile phones in the past.
I live in Switzerland and I bought a HTC Desire from a provider independant shop a few weeks ago.
Question 1:
I did not ask at the shop (but I will within the next few days I guess) if I got a branded HTC Desire with my 24month plan with Sunrise (one of the Swiss providers).
Now, is there a way to find out if my HTC Desire is branded? I mean, of course beside having some sort of logo on it which it has not.
Questions 2:
Hoping that it is unbranded I think I should get the update to Froyo sooner than later.
Has anyone in here (preferably from Switzerland) any information of when we might get Froyo? And if someone already got it, would you like to share when that was and what provider you use?
Thanks a lot
Regards

Hi there
I have no idea how to check if its branded. But if you got it from digitec.ch, then its not. I got mine from there.
I'm running froyo on my desire for... probably 2 weeks now. If you didn't receive a notifier, you can check manually:
"Einstellungen -> Telefoninfo -> Systemsoftware-Updates -> Jetzt prüfen"
On english devices it whould be something like this:
"Preferences -> Mobile/Phone information -> Systemsoftware-Update -> Check now"
Hope it helps
Kind Regards

Hi Soul
Thanks a lot for your response.
I am trying the manual update every day several times to no avail. Appears that for my phone (still unknown if it is branded or not) the update is not available....unfortunately.
However, given another thread it might be that HTC pulled the Update back. So I guess more waiting is in order.
I do not mind waiting a bit longer, but I really would be upset if I had to wait just because of sunrise. Reasons is: I thought I bought a "regular unbranded" phone.
Thanks again
Regards
scheuri

FroYo out for SEA

Quoted from the post at SEA HTC

Could this be why it's taken so long to release? Is it a newer version?

That radio has been around since the 24th of last month.

Hola,
I've been told if i update to the telstra froyo i'll not be able to re-root my phone afterwards, is this true, or is someone pulling my leg?

May be because telstra uses 850mhz band for it's 3g and every one else used 900/2100mhz in Australia.

Moved to General as not development

Thanks for that I had a feeling I was posting in the incorrect forum.

Hey there. Thanks for the heads up.
Downloading now.
BTW. Why would you want to flash this if you're rooting anyway? Isn't this just for the less adept?

Is this a Telstra branded ROM or a generic ROM for Telstra phones?
Anyone else perform the update? Any issues?

It's the official update from Telstra so yes it is a Telstra branded ROM and as such it does come with Telstra's bloatware.

Got it. Upgraded my phone. No issues so far. It didn't pick up the AT&T APN information automatically so I had to enter it manually. This did screw up the setup of the phone since it couldn't connect to the internet. It suggested that WiFi could be substituted for the standard data connection, but it couldn't connect to my WiFi router. After skipping through the setup, establishing the AT&T APN information, it completed the data connection and I was also able to connect to my WiFi router without issue.
The only outstanding issue is with the dates displayed on some apps. While I have set the default to be USA standard, some apps report the date in the European standard. One app, TripIt, reports some trips in USA standard while others are in the European standard. This doesn't appear to be a Froyo issue, but rather an app issue -- as reported by others.
I don't notice much speed improvement except for web browsing. All in all, a very successful upgrade.

[Q] New phone - no 2.2 upgrade available.

This is my first post and before I start I would like to say thank you in advance for any help I may get, I do not take it for granted and I am very grateful.
I bought a Clearance Desire from mobiles.co.uk which is supposed to be unlocked and unbranded, when I try an OTA update to try and get froyo I get the message that the phone is up to date. Current Firmware etc is:
Firmware version: 2.1-updated
Kernel Version: 2.6.29.0cb9f166
Build number: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release keys
Software Number: 1.21.405.2
I have been trying for 2 weeks with no success.
This is my first phone of this type I normally make do with my sons old phone.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank You
Frank

You can find what you need in the following thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741518

Thank you, followed the instructions and it updated just fine. Does anyone know why the OTA update cannot be located on some phones? Is it just this update or will I always have to manually update?
Frank

It's not a issue of the device, but rather that you are trying to update a little late to 2.2, although other users had the same problem when the OTA was just released.
In other words, you will most likely get further OTA updates the easy way .

[Q] Brought DHD Overseas, Help!

Hey guys,
Just been looking around these forums lately and you all seem like the intelligent bunch so i was hoping you might be able to help me out here.
I Recentlly brought a desire HD from an online website (mobicity) and its a great phone/device, but it has come from singapore. its unlocked/unbranded but it feels like its not an australian/WWE stock rom. I am completely new to the world of android with this phone being my entry class but im pretty clued on when it comes to tech stuff (I've flashed other devices before, PSP's, iPhones) and after a bit of research, seems getting a "stock rom" is the way to go but i dont want a carrier branded one (telstra, 3, virgin) as im with a carrier that doesnt sell the HTC DHD, or I dont want a custom rom, I just want it to be a normal unbranded HTC thats as close to where im from.
When I select the languages I only get 3 choices - English[HK] and 2 chinese languages (not sure what they are!)
If it helps here is my software info:
Model: A9191
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband: 12.28g.60.140fU_26.05.05.27_M3
Build: 1.84.832.2 CL333804 Release-keys
Software number: 1.84.832.2
Browser Version: Webkit 3.1
Any help/Tips/Advice would be awesome guys!
thanks in advance!

Somewhere around here is an RUU for Oz and / or WWE version which should help you out.
Better still, go forth and "Root" *groan* about in the development forum.
I really really should apologise for that pun but I not going to...

Just a heads up, I've recently heard that the folks in Germany are getting their Gingerbread update, so I suspect the rest of the world is gonna get his pretty shortly. If you don't feel like waiting around then go on to the dev. section and check out the stock rom final build 2.36 that was recently released. You can flash it with out root access.
Good luck mate!

Software number: 1.84.832.2.. The 832 does indeed refer to a HK based ROM. Look for 405 in the software number for a stock WWE ROM. Example is 2.36.405.8 which I am currently running. (Gingerbread)

There's a few WWE ROMs here:

Hi Guys,
thanks for your help so far but when i Try to install another rom (older or newer) i get Customer error 131
with a bit of reseach seems i may have to get a "gold card"
so its more money for a micro SD unless theres a way around this error?
Also just been informed by my phone suppliers that stock roms are covered by warranty so im more relaxed about flashing now
thanks again

IMO, your supplier mean the stock rom for current device is refer to HK stock rom only. If your are from HK rom, then its should be HK rom only. If you flash others wwe stock rom, its mean you avoid your warranty. My meaning is, when you root your phone, you already avoid the warranty. In order to choose others stock rom to flash in your HK phone, you required your phone to be root first..

I got mine imported from the UK (through clove.co.uk)
I'm with virgin mobile and have just kept the stock ROM it came with.
Just thought you should know there's some other people like you on here

hey guys
Well its still not working
Everytime ive tried to load up the WWE rom I get customer ID error 131
just curious, does it have to be a newer verison or can it be an older one too?
After speaking with the guy that sold me the phone he suggested the gold card method which didnt work either...am i stuck with this HK-rom?

[SOVLED]
So I Finally did it!
heres what i did:
Followed the Guide found here
THEN discovered my device was branded so i need to make a goldcard on MMC2 (been using mmc0 Prior)
Then Flashed via recovery mode to 1.32
then upgraded to 1.72!
the only think that worried me is that when i was 1.32 i couldnt do an update via the phone...was that a bug that was fixed later on?
just happy to have stock f/w on now, the phone seems quicker too!
thanks guys, for the help, and hope this will help anyone else with the same issue

if you went to all that trouble to flash your device, why don't you give customs a try?
I personally use CM7 with a Android Phone 7 skin.
If speed is your thing, the CM7 has overclocking options on it to make it more zippy, though its fast still plenty faster then with the stock roms. I've heard Android Revolution is even faster, but its running 2.2
Worse comes to worse, you can always restore back to your current rom.

lol due to warranty limitations i may jsut stick with the unbranded roms for now, or if my carrier (iiNet via optus) release a branded F/W ill go with that playing it safe works fine for me till i work out wha tthis phone can do for now
