Newbie needs more information about Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

1>What are these below information:
Firmware Version: 2.1 update1
Baseband version: 32.36.00.28U_4xxxxxx
Kernel Version: 2.6.26xxxx [email protected]
Build Number: 1.19.911.5 XXXXX
Software number: 1.19.911.5
Browser version: Webkit 3.1
And what is my BootLoader?
2>My Desire from South Korea. When i choose update by FOTA as the guide by click on Software Update>Check now. It tells me that my software is updated with the new version already and does nothing. Why?
3>How to know whether my Desire is rooted?
4>When running Android Market app installed in my Desire, i just received the list Top Free and Just In for each category but i want to find out more paid apps, how would i do that? By the way, the installed Android Market app is difficult to search with, some apps i cannot find (although some android websites prefer them), is there any other app do better job?
5>What is different between ship ROM and cook ROM? If i upgrade to ship ROM for 2.2 and after that i could installed cook ROM or must downgrade to 2.1 to installed cook ROM?
6>I know it's ridiculous to request you to suggest me which ROM is the best for my Desire because of the rule of this forum (i should try every ROM and choose the best for myself), but it's so scared of damaging my mobile. So please help me to choose the best ROM for it.
Thanks alot

How do I take this to 2.2 ? Do I wait for 02 ?
If I have to root, will I always have to use a specific way to update in the future ?
Thanks
I'm want to know this aswel ive been waiting for the o2 update but it still aint here, how hard is it to add 1 screen to the 2.2 froyo and send it out.
Could some one advise if this is the correct way to debrand and upgrade my desire..

Thanks
You need 2 things for a quick route to FroYo on your Desire:
1. A Goldcard (check the Dev forum for instructions)
2. The RUU file to run to update you to FroYo
If you can't find the RUU file you can get the 1.21 generic one and then get the OTA upgrade to 2.2
EDIT: It seems shipped-roms has been suspended so the host to the RUU files has been taken down. You'll need someone to rehost them (of Google them)
EDIT: This should work...

Bare in mind that doing what I suggested will give you a completely stock - and unrootable - Desire so only do it if you want to keep your phone stock
Thanks.
rooting isn't important to me.. but...
If I wait for O2 to upgrade to 2.2 would that allow rooting ?
Does this way stop it totally or is the default stock rom that could be rooted when someone sorts it ?

Can root the latest official ROM?[Sol]

Solution: My internal menory is not enough
=====================================================
Before the last updated, I had rooted with "unrevoked".
After it didn't work.
Any help for me??
Other problem: Which Rom can full support App2SD or A2SD+....
My internal memory is almost full >.<
Thanks for read and comment.

Is that Unbranded or Debranded or Branded?
Hm you said official rom so I guess not Debranded but could be branded or from a diff region??
Hmmm... don't do ota if your rooted is among the first rules, isn't it? You can read it everywhere. Also all rom threads state clearly whether they use a2sd. I think you just need to learn to read.

[Q] Advice please on phone software information

This will sound daft, and I apologise, I feel like I'm halfway competent in this, but not 100% sure!
My current phone settings are as follows:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: 12.28e.60.140ffU_26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.21-g3d0aaff
Build number: 1.72.405.3
Software number: Android Revolution HD 2.0.4 by mike1986
Browser version: Webkit 3.1
So is there anything that I'm missing mainly? I am unsure of the 1.72 OTA ROM has been installed - I assume so, cos I have a build number which is the same - or is that just a coincidence?!
Am I missing anything in any of these areas that would improve my user experience? Apologies for such an open ended question, and I hope I don't get open ended replies
Thanks
Everything seems to be fine. You're running Android 2.2.1 with software build 1.72.405.3. The OTA has been applied successfully.
Thank you
It's just reassuring to know I'm there or there abouts.
I've "thanked" you for being so kind to reply to me

[Q] How to root Vodafone DHD

I have DHD, bought it 12/2010 from Spain. It came unlocked. On boot I see vodafone logo. Few months after purchase I tried to root and flash custom rom but unsuccessfully.
Now I can't open People application, some process crashes in background, so I decided somehow to root ir and flash custom rom.
Phone's software information:
Android version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense version: 2.1
Baseband version
12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2

[email protected] #1
Build number
2.50.161.3 CL123205
Software number

Is it possible to downgrade and then root phone? Maybe someone can provide me instructions to follow. Thank you.
P.S. Instructions for UK Vodafone, is it the same for Spain's Vodafone? Software numbers does not match.

You could go in there in settings and force look for update?? Try that
Sent from my awesome HTC desire with xda-premium app
Titanium backup -> 2.3 RUU (many say it's not safe but believe me if you have enough ram it'll work like charm) -> Revolutionary -> SuperOneClick (unrevoked doesn't work with 2.3 upgrade which hboot is too new) -> Some super ROM -> Restore apps
OR do a nandroid backup, change rom then use ROM toolbox pro to extract apps from nandroid image.
All the best~~~

How do you think to get an official FOTA upgrade with custom rom installed?
Man told you, 2.3 RUU and you're up with the latest official OS.
And stop opening several threads about same problem, you already got an answer on the first one.
