[Q] Orange(UK) 2.2 with HBOOT 0.83 Rooted - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am considering trying a custom rom on the device, but am concerned about the network lock. When i put the stock rom on the device i had the simlock / network pin prompt. Fortunately this was fixed when i applied the OTA update.
If i use a custom rom am i likely to encounter the same simlock / network problem??
Many thanks in advance.
Andy

What ROM version are you on at the moment?

As long as you don't update your radio image you should be fine.

Nothing there on screen while swithcing on desire

Hi,
I downgraded my HTS desire to ROM version 1.21.405.2 with the help of:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
I successfully downgraded to 1.21.405.2 but then i want to come back on INDIA_ASIA rom. For this i flashed rom:
RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127705_signed
This is it... it first locked on the HTC screen and then i pulled out the battery. When i tried to restart the device i was having nothing on my screen. Only a black screen is there now, when i switch it on i feel the vibration but nothing on screen.
Help me out of this i was just looking to get on my custom ROM but now i am without my desire.... :-(
most definetily you have an SLCD screen. search the forum how to unbrick slcd Desire.
Hi mariosraptor ,
Thanx for your reply.. but i again did the same procedure of downgrading to 2.1 and now my desire is running fine Can u please guide me that which will be the best official ROM that i can use on my desire so that i am not bricked again and can use it for warranty too... I purchased it from India and also when the updates were available for my new phone it was coming with HTC_ASIA_INDIA...
Current ROM:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09

software number: 1.21.405.2
browser version: Webkit 3.1
Thanx in advance..
There isn't one
Can u explain???
Explain what?? The RUU you're after doesn't exist so the only way you'll get it working is to:
1. Flash the older AMOLED-only RUU
2. Find the thread on here telling you what to do when you can't see the screen to flash the OTA update manually and hope it works
Otherwise you'll have to stay on the WWE ROM until an RUU for your region is released

[Q] HTC Desir RUU question

I have rooted Desire and need/want to unroot it for some time. Thing is i used unrewoked3 and now only way (havent found any other) to unroot is install official RUU.
Some info about phone.
-Bought in Serbia (in august)
-Not branded
Thing is that i found this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Problem is that i am not sure which of RUUs to use. My guess is that it needs to be one of these three
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
Can anyone confirm this please.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Have I CID unlocked my phone? Will I get OTAs?

Hello all,
I recently purchased a T-Mobile Desire HD. I got it SIM unlocked and then managed to create a goldcard and used it to flash a HTC stock ROM, which is working fine. What I'd like to know is whether the phone is now CID unlocked or whether I'll need to use the goldcard again to update the firmware? I'm aware that I could simply try confirm this by flashing a stock ROM again, but I've already entrenched myself into the phone. Also, will I be able to get OTA updates?
According to the Software Information screen, I have the following:
Android version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.21-g3d0aaff, [email protected] #1, Wed Dec 1 17:09:51 CST 2010
Build number: 1.72.405.3 CL296490 release-keys
Software number: 1.72.405.3
Browser version: WebKit 3.1
Thanks
--Amr
yes if you s-off with the radio s-off and super CID .... but if your rooted with a custom recovery you can't flash ota updates ..... they fail

[Q] Rebranding from WWE

Hi,
I know there are topics solving the similar problems but I decided to create a new thread because I've never found an answer for me...
I have my desire originaly from T-Mobile from the Czech republic and I've debranded it to WWE (2.29.405.2) and HBoot is 0.93.0001. Now my desire restarts quite often so I want to get it for warranty repair but I have to get TMO software. I'm really not familiar with all the stuff about the flashing etc. I provide this info:
from boot:
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

Android: 2.2,
Baseband version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27,
Kernel version: 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c [email protected]#1,
Build number: 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys,
Software number: 2.29.405.2
I already know when I want to use RUU to change soft with the same third number (405, otherwise I get error 140??) but I need to load TMO with the third number 110. How I can achieve that? Is there any posibility to return from WWE to TMO brand? Tnx
ADD: I've tried RUU:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_AT_2.12.112.1_Radio_32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
x.xx.110.x is T-Mobile UK and the only RUU to leak is that one you've linked above. you might have to downgrade to a lower HBOOT to get it working (and that RUU is for AMOLED screens only)
Tnx. So I have to find out how to downgrade to 0.83 (the original state) and I don't know if I have AMOLED or not. There was a tutorial by comparing the background of my display to black but still don't know. Is in the phone any other clue to get know what type of a display I have?
ADD: Hmm, I think I have SLCD because when I changed the rom for the first time, display left black after starting.. so maybe this is the clue
ADD2: Should I use this guide to downgrade or this is not the golden path? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256&highlight=revoke
Only US customers use CDMA - if you have a SIM card you're GSM
yep, I've already read it and now performing downgrade... we'll see.
ADD: Android: 2.1-update 1,
Baseband version: 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09,

Software number: 1.21.405.2
HBoot 0.83.0001
Should I try use RUU to load the TMO rom now?
How I can realise if the RUU is for AMOLED or SLCD? Now I have a simple quest: load a T-Mobile rom for a SLCD display...
The reason that works is due to it being OK with SLCD screens, the T-Mobile RUU might flash now but you may end up black screening your handset

But when I bought the phone it was branded T-Mobile. Ok, what should I do to load it and be ok with the highest probability?
Nothing you can do, there isn't a newer RUU leaked from T-Mobile UK

I decided to use the one from AT and it works so I have TMO soft in my phone and ready for warranty repair. (hope)
Thanks for all your patience and we'll see.

Couple of original RUU files needed.

Hi
My phone was bought from O2 last year and came supplied with 2.1
Since then I flashed it with a stock 2.2, now I'm looking to root etc so would like to have a RUU just in case.
Can anyone point me to the standard O2 2.1 & 2.2 RUU files ?
Also anyone got this RUU ( this is what I'm currently running ) :
BaseBand: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c [email protected] #1
Build: 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys
Software: 2.29.405.2
Thanks
Why would you need the originals? Simple make a backup of the stock you're running now and you'll be fine. As soon as you root you'll loose warrenty anyway.
I'm running the Reflex Rom with the modified hboot - runs great!

I should had sent you here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
See your other post in ROM Development - I've posted it in there (2.29.405.5 is newer than yours so is needed instead of 2.29.405.2)
For reference, you don't have an o2 Desire but an unbranded Desire - if it was an o2 unit the software version would be x.xx.207.x
EDIT: This is a question and, as such, should be in the Q&A section
not having an o2 (or any) branded phone is normally a good thing in my opinion
2.29.405.5 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048
Turns out (s)he debranded going by their other thread.
To the OP - you don't need the 2.1 RUU as I've linked to the 2.2 one in your other thread

The RUU restore everything, after that you can get warranty again!
Thanks for all the replies.
Yes it an unbranded Desire..
I want the original O2 RUU just incase I had an issue and my goldcard failed !!
Just need to decide on CM7 or GingerVillian and suggestions are welcome.

It's actually DEbranded - if it was unbranded you wouldn't need a gold card to flash an unbranded RUU
rooted fine.
Thanks
