Vodafone unbranded desire

I received the HTC Desire from Mobiles.co.uk today (shipped on Saturday). I selected a Vodafone 12 month contract.
The phone appears to be completely unbranded and has the following software information:-
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 32.30.00.28u_4.05.00.11
Kernel version: 2.6.29-97da29ed
Build number: 1.15.405.3 CL150129 release-keys
Software number: 1.15.405.3
Browser version: WebKit 3.1
How do you tell if it is sim-locked, and does anyone have a newer firmware version?

Try a non-Voda sim in it!

would be good if guys with t-mobile could post their soft versions and then eventually if they have any issues with the phone ask MazMx5 to try to do things on his desire

This was from mobiles.co.uk on a t-mobile contract

Interesting. The Generic HTC ROM going the rounds is the same version as on yours. I have already flashed my T-mobile version of the HTC desire with the generic ROM to get rid of the "minor" branding. The case has no T-mobile markings.

the only difference, maybe the unlocked vodafone desire is simply unbranded-unlocked t-mobile phone?

yes, exactly my thoughts, .. we can confirm this when the unlocked version appears, ... hope they all dont have the same version .. it will be stupid and we would have waited for nothing

Desire guru required - software version question

Hi. I have 2 x Desires: 1 for my wife and 1 for me. Both bought from MobilePhonesDirect on TMobile. They are both slightly different so I checked the software version it is running and they both have different:
kernel version:
build number:
software version:
How can I update them so they are both the same? Will the Froyo update that is coming update all 3 sections?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any particular reason why you want to do this? If I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about it at this stage.
At I guess, I'd say you've probably ended up with one generic unbranded phone, and one actual T-Mobile one - does the Internet icon look the same on both phones?
If you post the actual version numbers for both of your phones, we should be able to provide some more information.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks Dave and sorry for the delay but I wanted to wait until both phones had been updated to see if they became in sync. Alas.... anyway the version numbers are:....
Mine
Kernel version: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
Software: 1.21.405.2
Wife
Kernel version: 2.6.29-54b7033a
Build: 1.21.110.4 CL175581 release-keys
Software: 1.21.110.4
Can you shed any light on the disparity? Also if is as you think, that my wife's is locked to TMobile - could you point me in the right direction of a tool/instruction to unbrand it - the same as mine. I have had a quick look and it all seems more convuluted than with my old Winmo device.
Thanks again.

Hey, yeah the difference in build numbers - Precisely ".405" and ".110" show that they are different un/branded handsets - You will either need to root or use a goldcard to unlock the T-Mo handset.
Goldcard: Link
Rooting: I think there's a thread in the dev section of the Desire forum

Issue 2207: Net access fails after leaving WiFi

Hi
Can anyone confirm this has been sorted in any custom roms ? It's a real pain, I have HTC desire.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2207
Thanks
Derek

I actually posted there, but at least for me, this issue has been fixed by an update. Hooray.
However I don't know whether the update itself fixed the problem, or the process of updating (reconfiguring APN as some people suggested, bla bla). So: "It works on my machine."
Bad Software Version: 1.15.405.4

[Q] HTC Desire problem

I post this message for my friend whose account isn't yet verified.
Hello,
few months ago I tried to root my Desire with my friend, but it didn't seem to go according to plan and we thought that this isn't working and decided to leave the rooting process.
However, now I'm not able to update it to Android 2.2 OTA, and not even by manual update.
So if you guys could tell me what's the problem because i don't have a clue.
I'll write down the software information if it helps, could this Desire be rooted now anyway? And if it is, what should i do?
Firmware version:
2.1-update1
Baseband version:
32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernel version:
2.6.29-82821fb5
[email protected]#1
Build number
1.21.405.1 CL172503 test-keys
Software number:
1.21.405.1
Browser version:
WebKit 3.1
Thank you for your help!

It may be solved now, titanium backup is working when i installed busybox. So my phone is rooted and thats why i can't get OTA updates

[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
