I am on the verge of throwing my partners Desire out the window... I have spent hours trying to get it out of Safe Mode by upgrading ROMs' Rooting it and installing Custom ROMS...
Nothing has helped get around Safe Mode.
So I now need to get it back to the factory/T-Mobile shipped settings so that it can be returned because as far as I am concerned the damn thing is faulty.
I have just tried installing using RUU the UK TMO 1.15 and 1.21 ROMS, but now all I get is... Error 155 Unknown Error. At the moment phone is rooted using Unrevoked and running NextSense ROM so I need to clear all of this before taking the thing back
Any suggestions please?
When you turn the phone on - what happens? Can you get into recovery, too?
Yep I can get into Recovery, but it is the Unrevoked version. I was under the impression to revert back all that was necessary was to install a UK TMO ROM, but it is this that is not working
OK I think I am sorted now.
I installed another custom rom but also removed my SD (GOLD) Card as I thought that might be causing a problem with the ROM signing.
Anyway I am now running TMO UK 1.15 so all being well I should be able to send the damn thing back now.
Thanks anyway.
I've got a rooted Telstra Desire and am currently running Opendesire 4 (purely to test the gps). Before that I was running nextsense and leedroid both of which did the GPS did not work on either.
My radio atm is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 but before that was 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08, both of which the GPS did not work.
I just let it sit outside for 40 minutes with google maps navigation sit there stuck searching for GPS. (normally i'd test with GPS status but this time i did not want to install anything and test it clean.)
Has anyone got any other ideas on what to do from here?
Cheers
Hey mate, I'm with Telstra and haven't had a problem with my gps on stock and heaps of different rooted roms.
I'd suggest downloading the Telstra RUU recovery from here and flashing that. If your gps still doesn't work, take it back in to telstra and get them to replace it.
Wierdly GPS did work on my telstra device with OD4 and 32.43.00.32, then i flashed the 32.46.... radio and it stopped working, so I flashed the previous radio and that has stopped working as well.

A few questions. Do I just flash the ruu like other Rom? Do I need to downgrade my radio? Will thec ruu affect root? Will it change hboot?
Cheers for any help.
My HTC desire was originally T-mobile UK Branded. After rooting and messing about with a few custom ROM's I returned it to Stock using:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
Downloaded from xda
It's now clean unrooted, unbranded, stock hBoot HTC Sense 2.2, nice and stable apart from a few problems with text messages.
Question.
Will this phone update to Gingerbread (if it ever does actually appear!!) in it's current state, or will I have to try and find the original T-mobile branded ROM? Which I don't have by the way; anyone got it???

Why did't you just say Rooted and use you best RoM, and wait for the XDA Devs to use official RoM? imo A leaked version will come out before OTA.
since you debranded it i see no reason to not recive OTA
so you should be ok
Does stock Desire have sense 2.1 or 2.2 ?

Also wouldnt bother re-branding it as the unbranded version will be out MONTHS before the network versions - if they ever bother to bring one out that is !!

To get OTA updates from your carrier you will need the official rom, the t-mobile roms are listed with the other RRUs in the Dev forum here (look for the TMO RRUs) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
a direct link to the latest t-moble RRU i beleave is this one here - http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
hope this helps
OTA on debranded handsets (with a gold card) stopped working with the last OTA update - chances are you'll need to use an RUU (assuming it leaks) OR a custom ROM
I found RUU to make the phone more stable than an OTA to be honest.
When I had 2.1 -> 2.2 the bluetooth was all over the place, kept dropping out etc., and a few other minor niggles.
Flashed 2.2 RUU from scratch and it seemed to 'fix' some of the issues I was having.
Friend of mine tried same but had been factory resetting to try and fix things and I suggested running RUU and he said his phone seemed more stable after that too (rather than the factory reset option)
Not sure how much of the above is just a placebo effect - or the reinstall completely did fix some possibly dodgy files?

Maybe the OTA update didn't clear cashe correctly when it installed to make a bug. At the end of the day RRUs contain all OTA updates up to a certen point, the reinstall would wipe cashe and data so it would fix the bug you had.

HI
So been searching for info on this, and other forums for about 2 days but came up with nothing on my device so hopefully i did a good job.
First of im Swedish so sorry for my bad english.
So my device:
HTC Desire 2.3.3
Flashed with HTC RUU from there site.
Not roted
As far as i know its not branded
Norwegian carrier
My problem:
The problems only showed after the upgrade to 2.3.3 and is:
1. When i listen to music on speakers i can change the volume perfectly but when i connect my headphones or handsfree my volume is stuck at one level.
I already tried to change the volume from settings, from different music players and tried a hard reset using power on and volume down.
Nothing seems to fix it.
2. My phone goes into car mode often. Mostly when i plug in my charger but sometimes when its in my pocket. I already downloaded the app from market thats supposed to "fix" it but it didn't do much differens.
I tried hard reset but the problem is still there.
3. I tried to root my phone so i could reflash it with another rom but read on another forum that its not possible at the moment using 2.3.3. Tried gingerbreak and unrevoked 3 but with no success. So in my desperation and irritation over the problem i re-downloaded the HTC 2.3.3 update to try and reflash the phone but i got an error message stating that i needed the correct rom for my phone. Kind of strange imo because thats the one i downloaded and successfully used the first time.
So the solutions i already tried are:
Different headphones
apps to combat the car mode
Hard reset using power on and volume down.
Any ideas?

Thomas,
Short answer is that you can't root if you applied the HTC RUU, at least not yet (plenty of forums threads on XDA discuss this). This means you are stuck with that ROM for now.
I don't see your bugs on the rooted version of the HTC gingerbread ROM, so can't reproduce them.
Yes i know it cant root it, just showing what solutions i tried so far =)
And now im all out of ideas =(
you can root solution came out a few days ago

Hi again and thank you for replying
Im sorry i get them two mixed up. But i tried revolutionary on my windows computer but dont remember what happend, error codes, other messages etc, all i know is it didn't work because i still wasent rooted. Thats when i tried unrevoked after. Iv tried alot of stuff using my windows machin but its not hooked up right now and im mostly only using my macbook.
But my main concern is not rooting atm, but the volume and car mode. I work in IKEA Logistiks and we work night hours so were listening to music while we work. Its a pain not being abel to adjust the volume =/

Dude im so sorry. I surfed a bit more on there page and remembered that i had problems with invalid beta code and i tried the solution, copy past, but still no luck getting the program to run.
Thats what happend. But giving it another so il post what happend in a while!
Sorry again and thanks!
Problem solved =)
Got S-off with revolutionary after borrowing a friends computer so something wrong with my windows machine maybe.
But reflashed it with Cyanogen mod and its working like a charm =)
No more car mode and i can change the volume. Strange bug i must have received before with the update from HTC 2.3.3.
Thanks for the help, its friday so beer on me! =)

Stupidity knows no boundaries.
Hello friends!
I am sorry if this issue has been raised before, couldnt find it though.
Lately my Desire freezes when I recieve calls. It started on a evervolv 4.2 nightly, I though it was simply a bug, but I reverted back to the old stable ROM and the problem persisted. I have now tried many different supposedly stable ROMs and it still happens. I have done full wipe in between.
Is my Desire just fundamentally corrupted now? Could upgrading radio be an answer, or unrooting?
Very grateful for you help

Upgrade radio, if you don't have the latest. If the problem persists, install the 2.3 RUU (sig). If that doesn't solve it either, it's not software's fault.

I upgraded the radio with no luck regarding the freezes. However reverting to RUU Stock 2.2 solved the problem. I am running Mildwild 4.8 with no problems too. Problem does not seem hardware related. I have a 8gb class 2 sdcard, could it be to slow for running JB with a2sd?
Funny though, that I didn't have troubles with JB at first.
Cheers!
