This is my first post and before I start I would like to say thank you in advance for any help I may get, I do not take it for granted and I am very grateful.
I bought a Clearance Desire from mobiles.co.uk which is supposed to be unlocked and unbranded, when I try an OTA update to try and get froyo I get the message that the phone is up to date. Current Firmware etc is:
Firmware version: 2.1-updated
Kernel Version: 2.6.29.0cb9f166
Build number: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release keys
Software Number: 1.21.405.2
I have been trying for 2 weeks with no success.
This is my first phone of this type I normally make do with my sons old phone.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank You
Frank
You can find what you need in the following thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741518
Thank you, followed the instructions and it updated just fine. Does anyone know why the OTA update cannot be located on some phones? Is it just this update or will I always have to manually update?
Frank
It's not a issue of the device, but rather that you are trying to update a little late to 2.2, although other users had the same problem when the OTA was just released.
In other words, you will most likely get further OTA updates the easy way .

Okay about a week or so ago, Australian Optus (aka Singtel) customers FINALLY received an OTA update to Android 1.6. Woohoo!!
Problem being, this build is DRD20, and refuses all attempts to downgrade (tried the us and uk builds suggested in every 1.6 root guide, and it gives the typical "00028002 Not allow" error.
Back on the rainbow screen, it gives the following details:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I
Sep 2 2008
Serial0.
Phone details:
Firmware: 1.6
Kernel Version 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 [email protected] #19
Build Number DRD20
If anybody has had any luck in downgrading this build or rooting as is, can you please let me know what dark and mysterious gods you prayed to?
Also up for recommendations of a new rom to try out.
The Australian phones are rooted differently, have you tried using this method?

You sir, are a legend. I'll try this after work tonight.
[Q] How do I see a "branding" and any news on updates to froyo in Switzerland?
Hello everyone
Please accept my apologies for my rather noobish questions. I am new to that Android business as I was using "normal" mobile phones in the past.
I live in Switzerland and I bought a HTC Desire from a provider independant shop a few weeks ago.
Question 1:
I did not ask at the shop (but I will within the next few days I guess) if I got a branded HTC Desire with my 24month plan with Sunrise (one of the Swiss providers).
Now, is there a way to find out if my HTC Desire is branded? I mean, of course beside having some sort of logo on it which it has not.
Questions 2:
Hoping that it is unbranded I think I should get the update to Froyo sooner than later.
Has anyone in here (preferably from Switzerland) any information of when we might get Froyo? And if someone already got it, would you like to share when that was and what provider you use?
Thanks a lot
Regards

Hi there
I have no idea how to check if its branded. But if you got it from digitec.ch, then its not. I got mine from there.
I'm running froyo on my desire for... probably 2 weeks now. If you didn't receive a notifier, you can check manually:
"Einstellungen -> Telefoninfo -> Systemsoftware-Updates -> Jetzt prüfen"
On english devices it whould be something like this:
"Preferences -> Mobile/Phone information -> Systemsoftware-Update -> Check now"
Hope it helps
Kind Regards
Hi Soul
Thanks a lot for your response.
I am trying the manual update every day several times to no avail. Appears that for my phone (still unknown if it is branded or not) the update is not available....unfortunately.
However, given another thread it might be that HTC pulled the Update back. So I guess more waiting is in order.
I do not mind waiting a bit longer, but I really would be upset if I had to wait just because of sunrise. Reasons is: I thought I bought a "regular unbranded" phone.
Thanks again
Regards

Hello,
I am very new to the Android scene, I just bought two GN from expansys. And it seems that one of the phones is google version which is fully updated but the samsung version wont seem to update.
Please note: I am in canada and have yet to put a carrier sim in it. just wifi for now. my specs read,
baseband version i9250xxkk1
build number: i9250xwkk5_ITL41D
Should i return this phone for this? The phone works great and has a great screen so I am hoping I can just keep it. I am moving to the uk in feb so I ma thinking once I put a uk sim in the update will get pushed to the device?
thanks for you help.
What's your build name in the build.prop?
its says in my settings that the build number is i9250xwkk5_itl41d
which is weird since most people have just the ITL41D OR F version. mine seems to be longer. maybe this is what the samsung update was?
thanks for the reply btw
I'd just reflash it all to the latest google build if I were you.
sounds good I will reflash it. I can only follow instructions in numberic sequence. is there a link that I could get that shows me how to do that?
thanks for reply
