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.

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.

hey guys, I got a desire and I'm new to android. so I have some questions:
1. my firmware is 1.19.707.7 and I know 1.21 is the lastest, but it says i have the newst one. what's wrong ? ( my Desire is unlocked and unbranded)
2. Froyo is coming to Desire this weekend, but how I know if I'll also get it? cause I heard only europe desire will get it.
3.How to root my Desire? I heard its different in 1.19.707.7 ?
4.My desire I think is from singapore, can I change the firmware to europe one ?
Thanks
1. There is nothing wrong. 1.19.707.7 is the latest Asia WWE rom.
2. The news was that Froyo is coming out this weekend across Europe (meaning Desire with EU roms) so you can't get it. At least not via OTA (but the real question is if it will actually get out).
3. Rooting method depends on bootloader version (at least paul's method).
Read about paul's method here and about unrevoked method here.
4. If you can flash custom roms, there shouldn't be a problem flashing different official rom.
First you have to root and then flash.
2.if I flash the europe official rom to my Desire, I'll also get OTA of Froyo?
3.my bootloader version is 0.80.0000
-Where is the paid applications? I can't find them in my desire, I see only free applications.
-If I flash to the official EU rom, I won't face any problems because it's official right? also My root will stay?
thanks man!
Hi, in my personal opinion, I think you will only get update if you r in Europe country plus your phone must be debranded and unlocked.
My htc desire is flash with the 1.21 HTC WWE roms and I'm in UK but I still can't get any update yet.
So i'm not sure whether or not the update is a false alarm to all of us.

Paid Android Market apps are available only in certain countries - list
Root will stay only if you flash pre-rooted official rom. But hey, unrevoked rooting method is very very simple so rooting again shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks!
just a question :
if I flash the europe official rom to my Desire, I'll also get OTA of Froyo?
Because Froyo has support of my language and I must it
Hi folks,
I have Desire HD branded from Tmobile Germany (CID is TMOB101), and I'd like to know, from where it downloading system updates? From HTC (official ROM), or from Tmobile (customized ROM, because of CID value)?
When I unpacked new phone and turn it on, it offered me an update to 2.2.1. From where it download the software update?
And when I was trying to flash an official ROM from HTC (from xdafil.es, WWE version), it stop ad the wrong device ID (or something similar). It has because the CID value?
Yes you have a branded CID so can only apply tmob updates and ruu's, if you eng s-off your device you will get superCID and can apply any uodate or rom

I have searching on tmobile.de website, but found nothing. Or is somwhere on the net information about this customized updates?
Google shipped roms, maybe they have it

Great site, thanks.
There is some Desire HD (Ace) ROMs, but not customized. Maybe they add them in time
Hi everyone,
So I'm here with my S-Offed HTC Desire wondering if someone has or know where to find original ROMs from swiss provider Swisscom.
Cause I'm very happy with my RCMix ROM but I was thinking of the day I would try to sell it and just thought that if I reinstalled an official RUU from HTC, the new owner would have troubles when an OTA update would arrive, because it requires a goldcard and the best would be to have a Swisscom ROM so the phone would run troubleless (even it would remain on poor 2.2 ).
BTW, if the phone remains S-Offed, do we really need a Goldcard, because if it works I could just put an official RUU, remove alpharev's boot screen and it would be ok, OTA updates without troubles (I remember that I tryed once to update when I just changed to official RUU from Swisscom's one and without a Goldcard the phone ran crazy haha).
Thanks
P.S. : If a swisscom's customer comes down here and has tried several Radios, could he or she tell which one seemed to work well with swisscom's network ? I didn't have time to try it seriously
Shipped-roms.com
Search there

There is also an ruu thread on the development section. You might be lucky
Sent from my HTC Desire
Hei,
Swisscom's ruu is the same as Vodafone UK.
So you can use the following ruu : RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28 U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe
Bye,
TS
A huge thanks

BTW how did you find the information? I did some searches but didn't find anything ... Does this Rom come with some vodaphone apps?
I hope this thread can help other Swisscom customers

Because when I got my HTC Desire, there were several vodafone applications that could not be removed.
But, many people complained about that and now the rom is clean.
Hi I am planning to flash a custom ROM on my HTC desire A8181.
One of the prerequisites i found is that i keep a copy of my Stock ROM ready.
I couldnt find the specific froyo RUU for my Bravo -HTC Desire on shipped-roms(dot)com website neither on XDA.
My Build number is 2.13.720.2 and Baseband Version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 . Is it necessary that i should use the exact same custom ROM or can i use one that is with the same baseband version.
Sorry if i dint make sense but i am jus a beginner and really energised to try out the latest ROM.
Pls help.
will this be sufficient ??? [2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2]

Yeah, it's proper one for you.

The number A8181 means, the phone is for europe and asia. So this could also be the right one:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Furthermore, this one is newer. The ruu you guys give him is older than this current version.

Thanks for that updated one MatDrOiD
so one can install the latest Stock RUU for his/her device provided it is one that belongs to a device from the same region.
Jus to make my understanding clearer ..what sort of dependency (in version) does a Stock ROM have on a Device ?
