Vodafone 2.2 update advice

Hi all
I have rooted my phone to put a custom rom on using the 1 click method.
I have just put the stock vodafone 1.19 rom back in in prep for hopefully getting the 2.2 update. However i am thinking vodafone will take there usual slow assed time in getting it to us so i would want to put the WWE version on my unbranded Vodafone handset.
Now what i am wondering is how can i install a WWE version when the last time i tried i got a "this is not the correct update for your phone" or similar msg in the install.
is it something to do with this goldcard thing i have seen about here?
thanks all

Also tryed your method and got the same error. Can't seem to find anything on it so for the moment ill stick to 2.1 then update when a modded rom comes out.

Your phone could need unlocking. However first try a goldcard to flash from vodaphone Rom to stock.
Bring on 2.2

lennshow66 is right, You need a "gold card" to flash a stock rom, Rooted or not!
Edit: Good guide HERE if you don't know how!

this is interesting...

actually unrevoked method roots without the need of a goldcard.

Yes but to flash a HTC RUU rom you need a goldcard in your phone because the ruu rom uses it's own bootloader/recovery, If you don't have a goldcard in your phone an official rom will always throw up a ID Error!
Edit: On branded phones!

thanks all thats exactly what i needed to know

Thanks all guys its worked well, goldcard created via the excellent guide and then i installed the stock WWE install. so hopefully as my phone is a vodafone that was auto unlocked and now i have a goldcard i might get the update this weekend

[Q] Strange Unrooting Problems

I purchased my Desire back in June and as soon as i found out about rooting
i used the one click unrevoked 3 method. Due to it being unbranded i didnt need a gold card i simply did so. After which i had problems installing some roms and its become too difficult so ive decided to unroot it and use it as it was meant to be until i gain more knowledge.
My problem is no matter which RUU i use following the unlocker method nothing works. I continue to get the error that none of the RUUs are suitable for my phone.
I have looked through the other posts but couldnt find an answer that worked for me.
my radio is 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
Im running AuraxTSense 7.6.1 Froyo FRF91 by NeoPhyTe
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Is your Hboot 0.93 ?
try this RUU : http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Enter bootloader (vol.dw+power), then plug the phone to USB and run the RUU it should work...
Have u installed HTC Sync again after using unrevoked?
U need the htc drivers installed

Have u tried LeeDroid?
Running stable and fast in my Desire, I rooted nd unrooted the phone twice, but every time i go back to unroot status i get bored, so root again, i think u should try another ROM first before unroot, try mine : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
Download de ROM,
Install thru ROM Manager or directly thru Recovery, but remember to Wipe data before u install make a clean install, if u still experience any issues go back to Stock...

My Hboot is 0.93.0001
Ill try the RUU tomorrow when i have enough time at my disposal
Although ill try leedroid first just in case. Hopefully it works and is good enough
thanks for the help

Just curious, but did it work?

You need to enter FASTBOOT (back + power) to run an RUU outside of Android

[Help] Rooted -> RUU -> unrerootable?

Hi All,
Ok i have a somewhat confusing problem.
I rooted my desire originally using the r5 desire root pack. All was fine and well, upon moving to oxygen i used the alpharev n1tables and woo all still good.
I picked up a Nexus S for myself and gave my Desire to my GF. Before giving it back I ran the "RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed" RUU to revert it to 'normal' (its actually a debranded TMob)
The GF would now like Oxygen again like I had. I've been trying to reroot the device but i'm not getting anywhere. The HBOOT is stilll .93 so i think Alpharev is still working. When I try to use the r5 root i previously used it errors on step1, but continues to the end.
Upon trying to apply the rootedupdate.zip it fails to verify een with a fresh goldcard.
I've also tried using the unrevoked latest version, but it does not detect the phone .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

use unreovoked www.unrevoked.com/recovery . older root methods dont work on the newer hboots.

Are you sure you're running unrevoked correctly? With the right drivers?
Id also recommend running a more recent unbranded RUU before rooting.

I had a similar problem, and after applying THIS I could connect it to Unrevoked again and proceed as usual...

Cannot downgrade DHD

Okay, so since im new to Android i decided to wait a little till i rooted my device. The time came so i went to root to find this crappy 1.84 cant be rooted. I followed guides to downgrade to the older version build 1.32 but it doesnt seem to like me. Ive got an unbranded, untouched, stock device. I got all the adb and stuff working, but everytime i get into boot loader it says CID incorrect. I then tried flashing with a goldcard which was created successfully both manual way and using a tool (yes i used mmc2) but i still get this damn CID Incorrect. Why doesnt this want to work?
Can someone please help me? I really want Android Revolution HD on this thing.

Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12786674#post12786674
and in particular post 4. And then you tell us.

I actually used this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970157
And as i said manually created the gold card too.

[HELP] Debranding Tmobile UK Desire Problems

Hi all
I am trying to debrand my T-mobile desire. I have rooted my phone and removed the security lock. I have also created a gold card and inserted it into the phone.
However when i run the stock HTC RUU it reboots the phone into the boot loader and then gives me an error saying it cant update the rom.
This is now deiving me crazy. As i am a complete noob at flashing android phones.
Any help will greatly appreciated. As i feel it is something i am doing wrong.
Thanks
Jonathan

If you have rooted your phone you don't really need the gold card, as that was a method used to debrand a phone without having to root.
Which method did you use to root your phone?

Not entirely true. I rooted my Desire first then used an ruu but I have to use a goldcard to do it.
To be honest, you don't really need to debrand your phone. Just whack a rom on it.

Yeah I know I can put another Rom on . But at the moment I just want to try the stock HTC Rom.

Make sure you use a pre rooted rom otherwise you could find yourself losing root, could be a bit of a problem too with htc locking down thier phones.

I am not too bothered if it does remove root.
I assume it can be re rooted .

I know there were reported problems over on the android forums from some people losing root & not being able to root again.
Not sure if that was sorted out, could be a good idea to ask around some more to be certain.

You sure the ruu is a complete dl? Have to download multiple times off shipped roms, first few tries are always partials.

Still I am fine with that just need to get the T-Mobile sh*t.off the the phone. As they think it exceptable not to realise Rom updates . When HTC clearly think it is needed.

That's a useless site now. There is an ruu thread, go in there and click the link to the latest wwe ruu. Scroll through till you get a multiupload link, download that.

I download the rom the ruu thread. I will try re downloading it.

am I right in thinking that I should be downloading the WWE Rom for the UK?
