Froyo for Desire with SLCD and 0,75

Hello everybody ),
last week, i get a new Desire with Android 2.1 and t-mobile branding. I think it is the SLCD-Version because there are no "AMOLED" on the box and the SN is HT07Z [the end of July 2010].
Now i want to flash the device with froyo but i can´t find any manuals. There are only Manuals for other bootloader - versions.
Is it possible to flash the Device with froyo and rebrand it, if i need it for warranty?

SLCD Screen and Hboot 0.75 .... Are you sure?

I think, in the attach file you can see a picture from the display in cameramode.
greets

Is it possible to check the version of the display with a other method?

Go to bootloader to check waht h boot you have
1. Turn phone off
2. Hold Volume down button and push the power button
3. now a menu come and at the top you will see the h boot version

Here is the text:

It's possible that HTC has added the SLCD driver to HBOOT 0.75, though it would be more likely that you have an AMOLED screen.
Either way you can debrand/upgrade to Froyo, as it is the same version for either screen.

h boot is o.75... search for unrevoked 3....also in xda is a thread of it....
if you have flashed unrevoked your phone is rooted and you can acceses the recovery menu from clockwork
if you flash a original rom the recovery (unrevoked) is deleted (for warrenty)
but i´m not sure with the rom´s..but i also think that there was a thread for (if you really have slcd)...search
with kind regards..Alex

In our german-android-forum are a lot of user, who think they have a SLCD with 0.75.
The Question is: will a hboot 0.75 version release, which include SLCD, to rebrand the device :/

[q] hboot 0.93.0001

Hi,
I just received a couple of new Desires with HBOOT 0.93.0001 preinstalled.
Has anyone seen this before, and is it safe to root?
Thanks,
Adam

Go into settings and about and list firmware details.u might have a new radio too.
Hoot prob 4 slcd tho
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

You don't root a bootloader. But if you have Froyo, you will not be able to root it. You'll have to downgrade the software first.

Did you get the Desire from Vodafone UK? I know their new 2.2 OTA update changes the HBOOT to 0.93 apparently (which can't be rooted at present)

Thanks for the quick responses.
The Desires did indeed come from VF UK, and yes they are SLCD.
The radio version is the same as the one I've seen on this site: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Looks like I'll have wait until one of the hacking ninjas works out an easy way to get a root applied to a Froyo desire...

1. Can it be rooted
2. Is it slcd or amoled

It can be rooted my desires hboot is the same. I think its amoled but you can ring HTC and they will tell you.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

If it was just the mobo and you were on 0.80 then you're on AMOLED...either way you can root without issues

Yes it can bee rooted mine is also 0.93
look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776696

same hboot,radio and slcd and i was able to root using unrevoked 3.21

Tried unrevoked 3.21 (4 - 5 times) and it would not root it. Spoke to guys on irc and they dont know why it did not work.
Wondering if I should go down the downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 then root then use a custom rom back to 2.2. I want to try the cyanogen rom really.
OH and thanks guys

What happens (or not) when you try?

Bascially it says its doing it but it aint.
Waiting for boot when its already rebooted.
Pushing recovery when its not.
connect device.

Any success yet?
Did you buy yours with this version of Hboot or was it upgraded via OTA? when?
a couple of mates have same problem can't root 0.93.0001

Yeah all sorted now thanks. Followed the "how to" at the unlocker
Rooted with unrevoked
Rom manager failed to flash 2 or 3 different roms so I flashed with Leedroid 2.2f using clockwork.
reports that you can flash cyanogen rom with amom ra bit not tried that way yet.
Happy with leedroid for now any way.
I had to send my .80 boot back to HTC for repair (GPS problem) and it came back with a new mobo and software.
You can root if you follow the correct "How to" some miss a few things out

Just rooted mine last night, no problems.
Am on T-Mobile UK, HBOOT 0.93.0001, radio etc all same as yours, all latest s/w from TMUK as I had just received it back from repair recently.
My steps:
Used Unrevoked 3.22.
Download htc sync, install, then uninstall the sync application, leaving the drivers on. Didn't need to mess with hboot drivers in my case.
Attached device, connected in disk drive mode with usb debugging enabled.
Ran Unrevoked.
That was it.
My PC runs Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit.

I follow the same steps still same hanging with "Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work). My ROM is:RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC__ARA_2.32.415.3_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157343_signed.exe

I'd appreciate if someone could help me here.
I sent my phone in for warranty, and I recently got it back, they switched the mainboard. Now I'm unable to root. When running Unrevoked 3.3 (both with standard and custom, Amon-RA 2-0, recovery). It's stuck on "pushing recovery".

Did you tried the last unrevoked 3.32? If it doesn't work, mean u are missing something..check drivers etc..

I have the same phone, and after some problems rooted it with amonra 2.01 through unrevoked. Make sure you remember the unrevoked driver install.

Hey... I think I'm having the same problem with Unrevoked's latest version -- 3.32. Details of my phone's hboot screen are:

Plz Help!!!!!!!
It says the root process was triumph. And then, it gives the error -- Validation Error: Back CID is missing.
Other Info:
-- I've no idea how come this is S-OFF -- actually, it's a used device I bought from ebay.in in India
-- Also, how to find out whether this phone is SLCD one or the AMOLED one. My another phone is Galaxy S which has Super AMOLED Plus and looking by its displau quality, I think the desire is AMOLED.
-- It would be helpful too if there is a way to find out its origin -- UK, Germany, etc?
Help!

First, uncheck "disable security" in unrevoked. Second, try custom recovery, amonra seems to be working for everyone. Mine has same specs and i successfully rooted twice, both time with amonra, but unrevoked forever is not supported, hence you have to uncheck that security thingy (can't remember exact wording, it's in unrevoked-file-...security...

Used unrevoked 3.2 Test to solve this!

Hey.. thanks for pointing it out but I already got it alright by using the 'unrevoked 3.2 Test' file. I know it was very risky and the test file was withdrawn by the developers because of bugs, but I just did it and it's fine now. S-OFF is still S-OFF, recovery installed fine, though!
Thanks you, again!

I believe desire is sold with s-off by default in India and China. Hence,its from one of these two countries.

Try Unrevoked 3.21. You can download it after a little search in google. I have same HBOOT and PVT4, and the latest versions of Unrevoked don't work for me, but 3.21 does.

I've successfuly applied new recovery and rooted with the latest unrevoked, but before that it was needed to roll back to 2.2 rom...

yes you can install custom roms now. but if there is a rom that requires 'custom hboot' like DATA++ or CM7 hboot etc you would have to s-off first.
also you never MUST flash new radios, it is only if you want to or if your phone doesnt work properly anymore (connection issues).
i was in your situation week ago. and believe me, it was worth S-OFFing my device. it was super easy (as easy as rooting, CD method) and the benefits are... well data++ roms are super-fast, and when i was using a2sd+ or data2ext roms (which is what you will be using) i kinda fooled myself that i dont care bout lags damn, now i couldnt cope with it !
if you want the -new Sense- roms (from desire HD or desire S) go for s-off it is worth it. if you want stock desire sense or non-sense rom, there is no need for s-off, since this roms are pretty fast, but using them with custom hboot will give you more responsivness when you will have lot of apps
all types of roms (new sense, old sense, no sense, miui) are available for S-ON users, but some of them will be kinda slow.

Thank you for taking time to reply !!!
Ur words gave me the confidence to move ahead further and apply the method to turn S-off.Now the phone is completely hacked and i installed CM7...what a change it has bought to the device...its definitely very much snappier than stock(eventhough i found it super snappy after my topaz...lolz)...Just like to add that rooting on Android is more complicated than HSPL nd other stuff on WM....but thanks to people like you and friends at xda made things very simple.

[Q] Unrooting HTC Desire

Hey Guys,
I've got an HTC Desire, from 3 - it came with all the Three UK stuff on it (like the boot screen etc), but I rooted it, and flashed it with OXYGEN MOD, the latest one...but I'm now sending my phone in for a small repair job, and need to reflash it to stock.
I've made the goldcard etc, and am trying to flash it with an RUU H3G_UK rom, which I downloaded (RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe). However, when I try to update it using PB99IMG.zip method, it says:
Code:
'Main Version is older!'
'Update Fail!'
'Do you want to reboot device?'
'<VOL UP> Yes'
'<VOL DOWN> No'
Any ideas as to what I should do?
Cheers. Phil.

Oh, and I thought I should post this too:

Yep this happens because you will not be able to downgrade the hboot with this official update, and because it is an old 3 rom, it contains an old bootloader.
You will either have to find a newer 3 rom with something like 0.93 bootloader or a newer wwe rom(3/htc won't care).
You might also be able to somehow flash an older bootloader using an s-off bootloader and fastboot, and then run the update afterwards, but that is way too complicated.

Which part of this?:
Code:
RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe
...contains the HBOOT version?

It doesn't, but the branded official roms are always that old, and as the rom version is 1.xx i know it is an android 2.1 rom, which means hboot 0.75 or 0.80.
Also your error message state the problem quite clearly.
And to clarify my last answer.. No you will not be able to find a 3 branded rom with a 0.93 hboot, so go for a wwe instead.

What about this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256

Don't use that - your Desire didn't come on that 3 UK RUU so no idea how it'll behave as you have a PVT4 Desire
There isn't a newer RUU and those old ones are for AMOLED Desire's only - you're kinda stuck

That might and might not work. It depends on the hboot included. The topic you link to uses a hboot version 0.83, because it works with all slcd phones as well. So if the 3 ruu contains 0.83 as well, this should work, and if it doesn't, you wont be able to install it anyway.
Now for gods sake please listen to me when i tell you that neither 3 nor htc will care whether your phone contains a branded rom.. They might not even care if it is rooted. So please just flash the damn wwe 2.2 rom...
My last post in here i think you get what i think you should do and i cant/wont help you risking doing something stupid.

Good news fellows
I flashed it using this:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed
and it worked no problem, I'm now back running Froyo 2.2 woop. cheers!

Then just root using unrEVOked. You'd be better off using v3.21 as 3.32 doesn't seem to work properly

Ok, thanks. So given that i have PVT4, S-LCD, HBOOT-0.93 and all that, the standard unrEVOked method should work just fine?

Yes but make sure you use AmonRA as your recovery as opposed to Clockwork Mod as it's better for PVT4 handsets
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

Ok. One more thing. Am I required to have S-OFF to use AmonRA?
