T-mobile Rom Vs Orange Rom vs Vodafone Etc

Hi,
Iv been searching the forum and cannot find info on the above or its scattered all over. Just thought Id make a new Thread so those of whom have played with their Desire from Orange and T-mobile can feedback on the carriers roms.
I am an existing Tmobile customer and was thinking of going to Orange this time round however im not sure who to take.
This may also be helpful to those who are a bit wary or dont want to flash the original stock Rom..
So People plz update with your findings on the Network Roms placed on your phones.
thanks

Orange is apparently badly branded, the handset also carries the orange logo.
T-mobile is virtually unbranded apart from a T-Mobile startup animation and the internet icon changed. No branding on the handset itself.

I have a desire from Virgin mobile, it has a Virgin logo on startup, and came with a desktop shortcut to the virgin mobile site which I deleted. No other branding though.

no branding on orange if you get the nadset from carphone warehouse

Hmmm. I bought an unlocked and supposedly unbranded Desire from clove.co.uk and that has the original Desire startup logo HOWEVER does have a Virgin Media desktop shortcut. :/

orange branding can be removed by flashing the HTC generic ROM, and that also allows you to update when HTC release updates and no need to wait for orange to do that.

Is there an actual way to tell if it's generic apart from visually? Firmware version etc?

Yes. If it is firmware version 1.15.405.3 or 1.15.405.4 it is generic.

Yep, unbranded from CPW.
Bloke brought mine out the storeroom before he knew what carrier I was on.

Thanks! Mine is 1.15.405.4 so that would mean Generic? Yet it has a Virgin Media shortcut/homepage. No matter I guess, it works fine.

Bought mine from CPW on Vodafone. No branding and unlocked. Firmware version 1.15.405.4.
It also updated the software OTA so now shows Android 2.1 - update 1

Got mine on contract from Vodafone. No branding, but not latest software.
Firmware Version : 2.1-update1
Software : 1.15.161.4

Orange Desire
Any confirm that you can simply download htc rom for desire and replace orange one easily? Desire is fantastic phone Orange have messed up stuff by putting games and apps on I just don't want, where they have put Gtalk I don't know, the service is running but the app is no where to be found.

Just been on the HTC website and I can't find the HTC Desire anywhere??
am I going blind... is it just me??
Was looking for an official desire ROM to get rid of this Orange crap that's been dumped on my new shiny toy!

that is the latest FW for Vodafone devices - 1.15.xxx.4 is the latest (1.15.405.4 is the generic unbranded, sim-free Desire)

It's not on there but someone put it in ROM development (1.15.405.3) and you should be able to get the OTA afterwards

I think GTalk has been renamed to just Talk.

It just doesn't exist on the orange Desire and the other rubbish they put on is infuriating,
I am, awaiting response from Orange and HTC on this.

Apparently HTC has pulled off the 1.72 updates as a lot of people were having problems with the SD card failing. I believe HTC are working on another OTA to fix it and will be rolling out soon.

I belive update was removed from HTC and it was removed with reason. You should read this link for more informations. I am as well on 2.2 only, but as I saw how many problems were there with 1.72 OTA update, I am glad that I didn`t get that update

@dhiral.v & droidhd
Many thanks for the information Hope HTC would roll out soon the update!

While you are waiting for a reply here (unfortunately I don't know the answer) you could try sending an email to HTC.
They may will be able to help you

HTC rolls out the OTA update region by region, with exception to some countries. 1st, by following above suggestion, do check your region whether they have launched the OTA update. 2nd, if you do want to update, at least turn the ENG S-OFF, as latest 2.50 is not rootable or downgradable (this way you can revert to older builds).

Got it, country is Norway....

Good news for you, HTC just now begins to roll out 2.50.405.2 update to unbranded DHD in Europe, fixing the previous build wifi issues. [AndroidCentral]

I did send an email to HTC quite awhile ago, at first I thought the phone originated in hong kong. But after sending HTC the serial number of the phone they told me it originated from India. As far as i'm aware people from both India and Hong Kong have received this update already and HTC told me that I should receive the update based on where the phone originated from and yet I still have no update.

1.29.751.12 update

In another thread here, someone from Australia has posted that they have just updated to the 1.29.751.12 update.
I presume 751 designates the far east or Australasia. Do they run with the same update numbers as my 401 (UK)? If so, does this mean another update is on its way?

Bloody hope not! Pain in arse porting for new 401.11 base. (pkmn tweaks)

Be good if it was rolling out. Been waiting patiently for my 4 x hox's while watching the rest of the world update!
Hopefully vf will roll it out quite quickly!

Been released in Sweden also from what I've heard.
It fixes the radio hang issue(not reconnecting after lost connection to gsm) and other stuff

Live Wallpaper Fix?
First thing I would check is the live wallpapers.
With this update, can you confirm if (or if not) the Live Wallpaper Scrolling Issue has been resolved?

Mine has been updated to 1.29.771.11 yesterday, branded to Three /Sweden. Had no issues with Wi-Fi or 3G already and have not yet noticed any improvement/change whatsoever..

No Lollipop update available

I've got an unlocked, unbranded Australian One M8 (HTC__039) but I'm not getting any updates to Lollipop. I've installed all the updates but the latest has kept me at 4.4.4 (Sense 6.0, Software 3.32.710.9, SDK 6.25, build 3.32.710.9 CL397296 release-keys) and saying there's no further updates. I'm not S-OFF so I can't change my CID to apply another OTA and I want to update before I start using it and have to reconfigure things again after the update. I was under the impression that HTC have released Lollipop for all unlocked variants now?
Am I doing something wrong or have HTC not released an update for my CID yet?

Your phone is Vodafone-branded, hence no update yet

It's not Vodafone branded. Vodafone branded ones carry a CID VODAP*** this is HTC__*** which are the international variants.

Well, not sure why it's listed on the Vodafone Australia support site then...

But no, it's not the European unlocked so no update yet...

No ota update
Hello,
Can some one help me out or at least try.
I have installed the stock ROM of KitKat 4.4.4 3.28.401.9 from the links provided on my HTC ONE M8. I have stock recovery, unlocked bootloader, S-ON and non rooted but I cannot receive any update of the new software Lollipop. Is there an app or something else that is blocking the update?
3-4 days ago when it was released in Europe, I have managed to download the update from the phone, but I couldn't install it because of some error. Then I decided to wipe the system and install the stock rom again and now ... no update what so ever ? Any help ?
Thanks a lot!!!

Vodafone just happen to have the latest version too. It's still not Vodafone.
I did contact HTC Australia today and it IS an unlocked Australian version, but they advised they have not released the update to Australian customers yet and HTC Australia have not been told by HTC HQ when the release will be available
Seems a bit of a poor effort to me - The phone is the same and it's unlocked so why shouldn't all unlocked variants get the update at the same time???

It's probably a network unlocked phone but taken from vodaphone. The software number does prove it comes originally from vodaphone.

Any news?
Hey guys do you have any news about Lollipop Update for the HTC One M8?
I've got an Australian factory unlocked version and in these days I checked so many times if there was the Lollipop OTA but nothing appears... Is it normal or something is wrong?
I'm worried now, I was wondering if someone of you could help me or give me more informations about it.
Thanks for your time
