Hi,
Iv been searching the forum and cannot find info on the above or its scattered all over. Just thought Id make a new Thread so those of whom have played with their Desire from Orange and T-mobile can feedback on the carriers roms.
I am an existing Tmobile customer and was thinking of going to Orange this time round however im not sure who to take.
This may also be helpful to those who are a bit wary or dont want to flash the original stock Rom..
So People plz update with your findings on the Network Roms placed on your phones.
thanks
Orange is apparently badly branded, the handset also carries the orange logo.
T-mobile is virtually unbranded apart from a T-Mobile startup animation and the internet icon changed. No branding on the handset itself.
I have a desire from Virgin mobile, it has a Virgin logo on startup, and came with a desktop shortcut to the virgin mobile site which I deleted. No other branding though.
no branding on orange if you get the nadset from carphone warehouse

Hmmm. I bought an unlocked and supposedly unbranded Desire from clove.co.uk and that has the original Desire startup logo HOWEVER does have a Virgin Media desktop shortcut. :/
orange branding can be removed by flashing the HTC generic ROM, and that also allows you to update when HTC release updates and no need to wait for orange to do that.
Is there an actual way to tell if it's generic apart from visually? Firmware version etc?

Yes. If it is firmware version 1.15.405.3 or 1.15.405.4 it is generic.

Yep, unbranded from CPW.
Bloke brought mine out the storeroom before he knew what carrier I was on.

Thanks! Mine is 1.15.405.4 so that would mean Generic? Yet it has a Virgin Media shortcut/homepage. No matter I guess, it works fine.
Bought mine from CPW on Vodafone. No branding and unlocked. Firmware version 1.15.405.4.
It also updated the software OTA so now shows Android 2.1 - update 1
Got mine on contract from Vodafone. No branding, but not latest software.
Firmware Version : 2.1-update1
Software : 1.15.161.4
Orange Desire
Any confirm that you can simply download htc rom for desire and replace orange one easily? Desire is fantastic phone Orange have messed up stuff by putting games and apps on I just don't want, where they have put Gtalk I don't know, the service is running but the app is no where to be found.
Just been on the HTC website and I can't find the HTC Desire anywhere??
am I going blind... is it just me??
Was looking for an official desire ROM to get rid of this Orange crap that's been dumped on my new shiny toy!

that is the latest FW for Vodafone devices - 1.15.xxx.4 is the latest (1.15.405.4 is the generic unbranded, sim-free Desire)

It's not on there but someone put it in ROM development (1.15.405.3) and you should be able to get the OTA afterwards

I think GTalk has been renamed to just Talk.

Hi
My desire has firmware : 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
I'm debating debranding it and putting the latest generic rom on it.
The reason for this is I'm moving from the UK to NZ, but would like to get the 2.2 firmware upgrade.
From what I've read, debranding will allow me to upgrade when I'm out of the UK.
Is this safe to do ? I don't want to brick my new phone !!
Can you advise how I would do this or if there is any other option for me !!
Many Thanks
Hi sorry to pick this one up as not answered but I am in exactly this position.
Bought a Desire from o2 in UK and moved to New Zealand.
VF NZ sim works straight out the box,
but will I be able to 2.2 this phone? My sw is 1.20.207.3.
Obviously dont need any o2 features on this phone as I wont be using their network?
Cheers from both.
Debrand using a ROM and guide, both can be found on this forum. I used a WWE ROM and it worked for me without any issues. You should then get any OTA updates as soon as they're released in your region.
Hope this helps.
Rik.

Hello All,
As per the subject i had my HTC Desire purchased in INDIAN grey market (Desire officially not released in INDIA yet)....Received yesterday and everything is O.K....except the Chinese suggestions while typing....
Also wanted to know, What official generic update i have to choose for my device...Also wanted to know the manufacturing country of my device...HOW????
Devise booting up with default HTC Welcome screen....FYI
Software details of my Desire is as listed below..
Firmware Version
2.1-update1
Baseband Version
32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.00.02_2
Kernel Version

Thanks in advance ........W8ting for replies soon......
You can tell if its branded as you will have the phone carriers wallpapers, ringtones etc added to your phone. When 2.2 comes out if you are on branded you are most likely going to be the last person in the world to get the update unlike unbranded phones. Some phone carriers also like to print a logo of the phone carrier on the casing of the phone.
as a guess if you go to :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
the rom you will need if it is branded is the RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00 .28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127705_signed.exe
Thx For Reply...but as i told earlier....Desire has not released in INDIA yet.....
Is it really possible that we have ROM specially for INDIA....?????

Am I unbranded or branded? How can I check? Desire is rooted.
Hello all. Just got an unbranded HTC Desire, which comes with the firmware of 2.1-update1. I've tried checking for updates but it doesn't find the 2.2 which I believe is available now. Anyone got any idea why? The software number is 1.21.405.2 if that is any help.
Thanks for any help, anyone!

Thanks for the quick reply. My SIM is Orange, but the handset is not, it's unbranded. Is it the SIM that's stopping this then? I was checking for updates via wifi, so I would have thought the SIM brand wouldn't matter?

In another thread here, someone from Australia has posted that they have just updated to the 1.29.751.12 update.
I presume 751 designates the far east or Australasia. Do they run with the same update numbers as my 401 (UK)? If so, does this mean another update is on its way?
Bloody hope not! Pain in arse porting for new 401.11 base. (pkmn tweaks)

Been released in Sweden also from what I've heard.
It fixes the radio hang issue(not reconnecting after lost connection to gsm) and other stuff
Live Wallpaper Fix?
First thing I would check is the live wallpapers.
With this update, can you confirm if (or if not) the Live Wallpaper Scrolling Issue has been resolved?
Mine has been updated to 1.29.771.11 yesterday, branded to Three /Sweden. Had no issues with Wi-Fi or 3G already and have not yet noticed any improvement/change whatsoever..

I've got an unlocked, unbranded Australian One M8 (HTC__039) but I'm not getting any updates to Lollipop. I've installed all the updates but the latest has kept me at 4.4.4 (Sense 6.0, Software 3.32.710.9, SDK 6.25, build 3.32.710.9 CL397296 release-keys) and saying there's no further updates. I'm not S-OFF so I can't change my CID to apply another OTA and I want to update before I start using it and have to reconfigure things again after the update. I was under the impression that HTC have released Lollipop for all unlocked variants now?
Am I doing something wrong or have HTC not released an update for my CID yet?
Your phone is Vodafone-branded, hence no update yet
It's not Vodafone branded. Vodafone branded ones carry a CID VODAP*** this is HTC__*** which are the international variants.

Hello,
Can some one help me out or at least try.
I have installed the stock ROM of KitKat 4.4.4 3.28.401.9 from the links provided on my HTC ONE M8. I have stock recovery, unlocked bootloader, S-ON and non rooted but I cannot receive any update of the new software Lollipop. Is there an app or something else that is blocking the update?
3-4 days ago when it was released in Europe, I have managed to download the update from the phone, but I couldn't install it because of some error. Then I decided to wipe the system and install the stock rom again and now ... no update what so ever ? Any help ?
Thanks a lot!!!

Vodafone just happen to have the latest version too. It's still not Vodafone.
I did contact HTC Australia today and it IS an unlocked Australian version, but they advised they have not released the update to Australian customers yet and HTC Australia have not been told by HTC HQ when the release will be available
Seems a bit of a poor effort to me - The phone is the same and it's unlocked so why shouldn't all unlocked variants get the update at the same time???

It's probably a network unlocked phone but taken from vodaphone. The software number does prove it comes originally from vodaphone.
Any news?
Hey guys do you have any news about Lollipop Update for the HTC One M8?
I've got an Australian factory unlocked version and in these days I checked so many times if there was the Lollipop OTA but nothing appears... Is it normal or something is wrong?
I'm worried now, I was wondering if someone of you could help me or give me more informations about it.
Thanks for your time
