T mobile settings in about phone??

Hey i bricked my T-Mobile desire last night whilst flashing a radio update.
Im gonna send it back for repair or replacement so i flashed the generic T-Mobile rom from the unroot guide on modaco.
In about phone - software information it says
Firmware version - 2.1-update1
Baseband Version - 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernal version - 2.6.29-0cb9f166 [email protected] #1
Build number - 1.21.405.2 cl174215 release keys
Software number - 1.21.405.2
Can anyone confirm these with a stock, unrooted T-mobile desire please as i don't want them to know i rooted
Did people returning their devices contact HTC directly, the carrier (T Mobile) or their insurance provider?
Thanks

My UK T-Mobile stock desire has a different baseband version ,kernal version, build number and software number.

i think you need to flash:
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.15.110.11_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122755.exe
[edit] sorry, i think it's the same rom you already tried flashing.
not sure why it hasn't worked though...
did the flash run ok, with no errors?

Ok, i just tried again and the RUU said
"ERROR [140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
I think its because HBOOT is 0.8 and not 0.75 anymore. I dont know what changed it. Iv only flashed a modaco rom, the standard HTC rom by accident, the radio update and the T mobile one.
Is there any way to change back and flash the TMO rom?
Thanks

The stock HTC ROM changed the bootloader to 0.80 - it can't be rolled back

Standard HTC rom is where you went wrong, 1.21.405.2 WWE rom would have updated the bootloader to 0.80 and there's no way to downgrade the HBOOT yet if ever.

Thanks, If i send it to HTC with the stock rom on, would it still void the warranty as its official?
Thanks again

I would've thought not but they'd be able to check the S/N against operators and might find out it's flashed

Thanks for the quick reply.
Iv just spoken to HTC and they're going to take it in for repair, has anyone had any success with HTC repairing a rooted phone?
Thanks

It's not rooted so there shouldn't be an issue - only if they suss it was a T-Mobile one in the first place!
Worst that happens is they send it back saying warranty void

Hope you are successful.
Can someone tell me what radio update refers to?

htc desire on virgin. Confused !!!!!!!!!!!

hey, i got a desire on virgin network in the uk.
the bit i am confused with is that the phone seems to be unlocked and the software info leads me to think that this is an unbranded htc stock rom but there is the virgin logo whenever i turn the device on. i havent done anything to it. to scared lol.
here is my software info
baseband version: 32.30.00.28u_4.05.00.11
build number: 1.15.405.4
software number is the same.
i asked a person and checked on the xda forums under desire developments and posted roms and my rom seems to be similar to
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
is this normal for a virgin branded mobile

They probably just changed the bootloader !
However, even if it is an official ROM, the phone may be locked.

mine is from virgin aswell has the same vigin loading screen on start up to cant be locked as its got a o2 sim in it .it was running the same version as yours and never propted for the last update so i downloaded the update zip shoved it on the sd card and done it manualy all good
think virgin juust changed the boot screen on the early ones
as for weather we will get the up date ota i dought it will just down load the update zip and do the same again

[Q] Desire unbranded but no updates available?

Hi,
I brought my UK Desire sim-free, and apparently unbranded. There are no network-related apps anywhere, or a network startup logo.
However, my software number is 1.19.161.5, which is I believe is the latest update for branded phones. 1.21 being the last update for unbranded phones before FroYo?
There are no updates available when checking manually, and I've also tried using the update.zip files from the HTC liveimage URL (both 1.21 and FroYo), both of which fail with the fingerprint error.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks,
Rich

I know someone who was on Vodaphone SIM-FREE with that version number. He successfully debranded with a goldcard to 1.21, and then upgraded via OTA.

Sounds like you might actually have a Vodaphone ROM:
List of ROMs and version numbers here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667

161 doesn't look like unbranded, 405 is WWE which works for sure (receives OTA).
If you want it now, create a gold card, debrand with RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed, keep the goldcard in, get the froyo OTA update. If something goes wrong, downgrade back to 1.21.405.2 and do the factory reset, remove sim and enter flight mode before installing the update.

Cheers guys, will give the goldcard approach a try tonight then. Was hoping I wouldn't have to go down this route, but I don't want to have to rely on networks for their own specific updates!

It worked a treat! Thanks guys

i just debranded my boss phone to 2.1 and checked for the update and said none availible! maybe an issue witht the update server
dont think location makes a difference as your phone will still have the european code in it so should get the update regardless of location

I got the 2.2 update on mine and i am using a WWE (World Wide English) ROM, not a European ROM.

last night when i checked for update, there was froyo. but i did not update due to battery level. today it says no update, maybe a problem with server or it has been withdrawn

I´m from Portugal and I have the same problem. I make these steps:
1 - Upgrade Desire using a original RUU you can found here. I use RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe and without sim card inserted.
2 - After you go to About And search for updates again.
Work for me. Try If you want be careful. I'm not responsible for anything...LOL. Like I said work for me...

[Q] No OTA for unbranded on T-Mobile yet? Just Me?

I have a Sim Free, Unbranded Desire on T-Mobile network, no OTA update yet, searching manually returns the standard "your phone is up to date" message, is it just a staggered rollout, haven't seen anyone else on here complaining about this issue?
Cheers,
P.
edit: I mean to Froyo...!

What firmware version are you running? I saw a post somewhere where someone thought they had an unbranded handset, only to have Vodafone firmware installed, meaning they wouldn't get the update...
If you go to this link you should be able to match it up to which firmware you have... Basically, you should hopefully have something like x.xx.405.x (where 405 is denominates that it's an unbranded firmware, with 110 being T'Mo, and 161 being Voda etc):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667

Current Software is: 1.21.405.2

Hmmm, so not just me exactly, but Its not all T-Mobile or anything, v.odd, wonder why some would update and not others?
I guess I just keep waiting
P.

My provider is "3". I already contacted HTC. No answer yet.

I have just debranded my HTC Desire from a VF firmware (not the latest one with bloatware) to a stock ROM (1.21.405.2) using the goldcard method, etc. I currently have the goldcard in.
I am on T-Mobile myself.
I checked for updates, on WiFi and 3G... and nothing?!
Edit: I had no error messages using the goldcard, it all worked smoothly.

I received my update yesterday and I'm on t-mobile.
But it turns out my phone is on the virgin rom, the web supplier I got it from ran out of t-mobile branded ones....

Ok so I recieved an interesting reply from HTC:
Dear Thomas, Thank you for your email. In regards to the 2.2 upgrade for Desire, it will come as a system message over the air. It's not possible to get it through the System software updates screen, you might have to wait for the message to come automatically. We released the 2.2 but it won't come to all devices at the same time, as it comes in different batches. Kind Regards,

Good news!
I hope!
I'd like to have froyo as soon as possible!!

im now seriously thinking of holding back on 2.2 untill its fixed all these problems..currently desire 2.1 and love it so like they say if it aint broken dont fix it..

I'm unbranded T-Mobile and there was an update available yesterday when I checked, that I didn't install (want to keep the possibility of rooting), but today I checked and it's gone, so it looks like they pulled it for now.

I checked yesterday too (and Monday, and Sunday, and Saturday) via 3G and WiFi each day, always same message for me, i.e. I've not been offered an update that I've turned down.
P.

Well, I never received a message. I checked for updates, it was there, I did it. Sunday this was.

Still getting the "up to date" message

Got a response from HTC now...
"Thank you for your query regarding the upgrade for the desire. Please note that this update is being send out from the htc server to htc unbranded devices continuously. Therefore we cannot specify the exact date for each device. Please be patient on this issue as it is not possible to upgrade them all at the same time."
grrrr... I'm not good at patience!
P.

I bet it will be late September before we at T-mobile see froyo. That might be no bad thing as they might update some of the issues by then
