Hi. I have 2 x Desires: 1 for my wife and 1 for me. Both bought from MobilePhonesDirect on TMobile. They are both slightly different so I checked the software version it is running and they both have different:
kernel version:
build number:
software version:
How can I update them so they are both the same? Will the Froyo update that is coming update all 3 sections?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any particular reason why you want to do this? If I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about it at this stage.
At I guess, I'd say you've probably ended up with one generic unbranded phone, and one actual T-Mobile one - does the Internet icon look the same on both phones?
If you post the actual version numbers for both of your phones, we should be able to provide some more information.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks Dave and sorry for the delay but I wanted to wait until both phones had been updated to see if they became in sync. Alas.... anyway the version numbers are:....
Mine
Kernel version: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
Software: 1.21.405.2
Wife
Kernel version: 2.6.29-54b7033a
Build: 1.21.110.4 CL175581 release-keys
Software: 1.21.110.4
Can you shed any light on the disparity? Also if is as you think, that my wife's is locked to TMobile - could you point me in the right direction of a tool/instruction to unbrand it - the same as mine. I have had a quick look and it all seems more convuluted than with my old Winmo device.
Thanks again.

Hey, yeah the difference in build numbers - Precisely ".405" and ".110" show that they are different un/branded handsets - You will either need to root or use a goldcard to unlock the T-Mo handset.

Rooting: I think there's a thread in the dev section of the Desire forum

I received the HTC Desire from Mobiles.co.uk today (shipped on Saturday). I selected a Vodafone 12 month contract.
The phone appears to be completely unbranded and has the following software information:-
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 32.30.00.28u_4.05.00.11
Kernel version: 2.6.29-97da29ed
Build number: 1.15.405.3 CL150129 release-keys
Software number: 1.15.405.3
Browser version: WebKit 3.1
How do you tell if it is sim-locked, and does anyone have a newer firmware version?

Try a non-Voda sim in it!
would be good if guys with t-mobile could post their soft versions and then eventually if they have any issues with the phone ask MazMx5 to try to do things on his desire
This was from mobiles.co.uk on a t-mobile contract

Interesting. The Generic HTC ROM going the rounds is the same version as on yours. I have already flashed my T-mobile version of the HTC desire with the generic ROM to get rid of the "minor" branding. The case has no T-mobile markings.
Kernel version: 2.6.29-97da29ed

the only difference, maybe the unlocked vodafone desire is simply unbranded-unlocked t-mobile phone?

yes, exactly my thoughts, .. we can confirm this when the unlocked version appears, ... hope they all dont have the same version .. it will be stupid and we would have waited for nothing

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....?????

Hi,
From your software version it's looks like you have unbranded phone made for asia region.
Yes, you should root. Recommended. Worth it.

Am I unbranded or branded? How can I check? Desire is rooted.
Heyyy,
I've tried a search but can't find the exact answer im looking for.....
I've got a HTC Desire bought it off o2 on contract and want to know if its contract-locked (meaning i wont get froyo this weekend), when I turn it on it shows an o2 logo but i've just put an orange sim card in it and it worked fine.
The Software Information is.....
Firmware Version - 2.1-update1
Baseband Version - 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernal Version - 2.6.29-c8d11160 [email protected] # 1
Build Number - 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
Software Number - 1.20.207.3
Browser Version - Webkit 3.1
I don't know if any of that information above helps lol, I'm new to the android scene so trying to catch up, thanks in advance for any help!
Judging by your software number, you won't get froyo update anytime soon
OK,
Being mega-thick here but I flashed/rooted my Desire a while back, and now thinking I should update to see if I can improve my shocking battery life.
BUT, I'm stupid and forgotten what ROM I flashed, but want to stick with it. I think its OpenDesire, but cannot really tell.
In settings > Software Information:
Android version: 2.2
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527 [email protected] #1
Build Number: 2.09.405.8 CL218635 release-keys
Software number: 2.09.405.8
Anyone got any ideas or another way of working it out so I go with updating the right ROM?
That is the official FroYo WWE build, albeit one below the current version
Yours - 2.09.405.8
Current: 2.10.405.2
This will sound daft, and I apologise, I feel like I'm halfway competent in this, but not 100% sure!
My current phone settings are as follows:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: 12.28e.60.140ffU_26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.21-g3d0aaff
Build number: 1.72.405.3
Software number: Android Revolution HD 2.0.4 by mike1986
Browser version: Webkit 3.1
So is there anything that I'm missing mainly? I am unsure of the 1.72 OTA ROM has been installed - I assume so, cos I have a build number which is the same - or is that just a coincidence?!
Am I missing anything in any of these areas that would improve my user experience? Apologies for such an open ended question, and I hope I don't get open ended replies
Thanks
Everything seems to be fine. You're running Android 2.2.1 with software build 1.72.405.3. The OTA has been applied successfully.
Thank you
It's just reassuring to know I'm there or there abouts.
I've "thanked" you for being so kind to reply to me
