[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

[Q] Froyo, Software Build and other questions

Good day
I have just gotten my Desire a few days back. So far so good. I'm really pleased with it, but I still have a couple of questions (which hopefully can be answered here).
I suppose when I bought my phone, it was an AP phone. And I also will assume that it is from Asia/Asia Pacific/South East Asia because I have a choice of using English (Malaysian), English (Singaporean), and others, as well as a Thai and PinYin keyboard. My Desire also has a preset Scene, called HTC Asia. No big deal, I'm from Malaysia anyway.
Question: What is a sure-fire way to check out where my phone is from?
And I will also assume that it is unbranded. I have read a few posts, and branded phone will have the service provider logo appear on start up. Mine doesn't.
Question: Does this mean it is unbranded? Or just unlocked? How would I know if it is unlocked?
I tried updating my Desire to Froyo. No luck. Searching for software updates through the phone yields no results. The message telling me that my phone is up to date keeps popping up whenever I search. Here is my software information.
Firmware Version 2.1update1
Baseband version 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09
Kernel Version 2.6.29-b7e82785 htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1
Build number 1.19.707.7 CL171460 release-keys
Software Number 1.19.707.7
Browser Version WebKit 3.1
Question: Why is this so? Isn't Froyo out for SEA? Or does my phone's origins have something to do with the Froyo update? Will I even get a Froyo update?
I've actually brought my phone to a technician, just to chat abit, but then I decided, "Heck, if I can't get froyo, I might as well root it and flash a 2.2 rom". No dice either. After having a look at my phone, the technician told me that my hardware is (too) "new" or something, and I would have to leave my phone with him overnight for him to study it. But he has rooted other Desires before.
He also told me that my Desire would never get Froyo OTA. (because its AP?)
Question: Whats the deal? Are there really Desire's with new hardware out?

im not sure if the froyo update has hit asia yet, but there is no problem at all with rooting, yes there is a new type of desire with a slcd screen, thats the only new hardware i can think about, but even that can be easly rooted, look in the android development section for guides

[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

I bought this phone new from a retailer. Its been a couple of days since the device was activated. However I have not received the OTA yet.
Settings > Check updates > Device is up to date.
Is there some procedure to update to the latest Android version.
Any help highly appreciated.
PS - I would like to keep the phone clean with only the official update, and not root it.
I'm a Newbie to the Android family

Off topic, but very important!

People might be able to better help you if you mention *why* you can't upgrade. What you have tried so far, and perhaps also what you want to upgrade to.

tell us why can't you upgrade your defy. Then only we can provide you a solution.

Do you get freeze at moto logo on the new flash? It happened to me once, I had the 2.1 Up1, I just had to try a lot, and I really mean a lot, of ROMs before founding one that worked. The one that I used was the downloadable one from the guide of how to flash the defy, in the link where says like: if you flashed 2.3.4 and cant come back...there's a guide, use the 2.2 ROM.
