No problems on Froyo OTA with debranded Orange France

Hi all,
Since the last OTA created plenty of problems to debranded Orange owners, I just wanted to let everybody know that I did install the OTA and did not find any problem so far.... everything went smoothly in updating OTA from the latest RUU update. No need for gold cards or complicated procedures

Can I ask which method did you use to originally debrand your phone? Which rome did you flash to?

The 405 RUU that had been posted around may on these forums... see here for a full list:

Very easy, all you need is to make a gold card. Things get slightly more messy if you are not a Windows user.

for my own device :
It was Orange France 1.22 ROM;
I rooted my device with UnrEVOked;
Then I use the downgrade method that uses fake ROM version reporting to RUU;
Installed full Europe_1.15 HTC ROM;
And install all OTA updates, as when asked.
Note : I alway have my gold card in it, and I never got any trouble.

Thanks. I dont want to root my phone just debrand it to receive OTA`s directly from HTc and not wait for carrier specific.
Question: is it safer to flash it to 1.15 and then do OTA to 1.21 and Froyo or flash directly with 1.21?

Directly 1.21, if I did not screw up version numbers it was the jump from 1.15 to 1.21 that created the problem when done in OTA (WiFi module could not be loaded correctly)

Original HTC Rom

Hi Guys,
I recently rooted and put a custom froyo 2.2 rom onto my HTC Desire. In the process i must of lost the backup of the original rom that shipped with the phone. The phone was bought with Vodafone Ireland and the baseband is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 . Im not sure but the guide i used to update my phone advised updating the radio (which i think is the same as the baseband). What i want to do is to download an original 2.1 (or 2.2) Rom so i can update to froyo the offical way. Basically the rom i currently have is buggy and i wanted to upgrade/downgrade to 2.1. I dont know what i need to do with my radio version or what difference it makes.
So my questions are:
1. Can someone link me a place i can download original HTC Desire Rom 2.1 so i can restore my phone to normal and upgrade to 2.2 through offical OTA?
2. What difference does the radio make? Why do i need to update that when i install a rom?
Thanks

oh and also if i put the original rom on it does that undo the rooting? Basically i want a stable version of 2.2 that i will be able to recieve updates in the future through offical methods (OTA)

i need this too

Look in the development section, there you can find RUU's those are original roms.

If u get an original ruu and follow instructions to install Froyo will be available for its system update. This includes an updated radio.

Thanks, Does this get rid of rooting? and do i need to pick a RUU that has the same radio as mine?

this "Updates" your desire, making completely stock like, from what i know you have to choose what fits you phone, if it's Hboot .80 or that other one...
it will lock your recovery too...

hey sorry about all my noob questions but i tried the following page before
"HTC Desire > Desire Android Development > [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URL"
and any of the ones i tried dont seem to work. Is it someting to do with the fact that none of them are the same radio as mine?
Im guessing i should be trying the gsm ones. i tried to install some of the zips through rom manager from GSM HTC OTA Update URLs but they failed.

by "lock" do you mean that i will never be able to recover again and ya my hboot is .80

guys,
Can someone please help with this, im really stuck.
Thanks

[Q] help updating to froyo from wwe rom

Hi guys
recently had trouble updating my european unrooted unbranded desire to 2.2, ph got stuck in a boot cycle, only way i could fix it was to flash the ruu wwe 1.21. but now obviously the ota update wont show on phone. My question is will there be a ota update for this version? Or do i/can i flash to europe ruu to get update, without gold card as my phone is unbranded? or will there likely be a froyo ruu sometime soon?
thx

Hi! Have the same problem! Unbranded my Desire with a Gold card to flash official WWE. Then got the OTA 2.2 via mobile internet. Phone stuck in a boot process (endless reboots). I flashed back to WWE 1.21.405.2_T2 now getting no notifications about possible updates. Is there any way to install official 2.2? Please Help!

Install a rooted 2.2...
There are plenty to choose from, some are official just rooted.

Does that mean I have to root my phone or cab I just download rooted Rom and install it

Problem solved!
I copied update image of froyo 2.2 to my "Goldcard" and flashed from it successfully!

install latest oficial rom

hi. i just bought a desire hd second hand and it is rooted and has leo revloution hd 2.2.1.
how can i install the latest oficial rom? please give me a small guide.
the phone was bought from orange but it was not network locked or branded.
is this the latest rom?
"RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed"

Click the link in my sig, head to RUUs and download the orange uk 1.84 that's the latest official orange firmware.h

is it branded? how do i install it?

Yes its orange branded, hence its the official orange RUU.
Download it an run the exe file. You will need to install HTC Sync, if you have not already done so.

but i dont want an orange branded. i want a wwe rom. because the phone was bought from orange but it was not branded or locked. i bought it contract free.

so.....can anyone tell me so i can install it?
my phone is not branded at all.......what official rom i need to install and how?

Download the other 1.32 WWE RUU that's the latest for Europe. If its the latest software the I'd flash Android Revolution as its current as 1.84.

i now have android revolition hd 2.0.11 by mike1986 with built 1.72.
but many apps are missing such as maps, talk, latitude......etc....why is that?
and the cpu says that max speed 1228.8mhz :O. i thought desire hd has only 1ghz cpu.

LeeDroid is a custom ROM, it has been customized from the latest sources. The latest LeeDroid is based on the 1.84 release. It has been overclocked too. Surely when you bought the phone the seller should of made you aware that it wasn't standard.
As your current ROM has been rooted, it allows you to remove any app, including system ones.
You can either flash an official HTC RUU or flash a new custom ROM. Its your phone so the choice is yours.

tell me how can i flash an official rom? just run the ruu.exe and that's it? i can install any ruu directly?

just download HTC Sync from HTC's website first, and install that. Then just run the exe file from the RUU. Then just follow the onscreen prompts. Easy as peas.

even if my phone is rooted and now has a custom rom?

Yeah, the RUU will remove everything, and restore it to factory settings.

wwe 1.32. what android version it is?

Its Android 2.2

damn. what about that orange uk 1.84? is it 2.2.1?
what are the branding problems? all the icons are orange? or is just the startup screen?
isn't it any unbranded official 2.2.1 or 2.3?

What's the problem with custom ROMs? They are pretty much always better than stock. Just wait until ARHD 3.5 comes out this weekend, flash it and be happy.

Yes the 1.84 is 2.2.1
The ROM is basically the same, however its carrier branded to Orange UK. If your handset has had Radio S-OFF applied it shouldn't SIM lock it to Orange.
No there is not an official European 1.84 RUU.
The offical 2.3 is due sometime this month, if sources are to believed. However there is a leaked HTC 2.3 ROM, that is not an RUU and must be flashed with ClockworkMod Recovery which I think you would have. Just turn off your phone and plug it in, recovery should start on its own.

People should not just go and flash leaks, that is very dangerous business. If somebody wants to try a leaked ROM, he or she should go for a custom ROM that has been built on the leak.
By the way, only custom ROMs are flashed in recovery. The leak is PD98IMG.zip, which has to be flashed in bootloader itself.

I may have fully conveyed my point, the custom ROMs based on that leak, are still leaks. Otherwise I would of said flash the PD98IMG, by saying "flash with recovery" I though it would be obvious it wasn't the PD98IMG.
However, I see the ambiguity in my post and understand your point, for that I apologise.

[Q] ORANGE 2.3.5 Downgrade to 2.3.3 Genuine.(DESIRE HD)

Hello, i have just had the 2.3.5 update with 3.0 sense and i wish to go back to what i had previously.
This was 2.3.3 i believe. I was up to date before receiving the above update.
I have an ORANGE branded device with all security in place. I don't wish to de-brand or s-off etc... I'm hoping that i can simply download a .exe file of the older ROM and install, overwrite, then smile.
Will it be that simple? I've looked high and low for Genuine Orange roms but can not find any. Could someone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks.

Unfortunately you will have to root and s-off your phone, then install the earlier rom, then un-root and s-on your phone. I might be wrong but look for the wwe version of the orange rom

I could not just install the older genuine rom over the newer genuine rom?

No, only updates can be applied as far as I know. It doesn't take long to root and s-off tho, then you can out your older rom on
