Hello there,
I bought a new desire from Vodafone Turkey and it comes with 2.1 Eclair. After i check for new software my phone just updated to 2.31.184.3
I searched forum a little bit about that version but i can't find any kind of info. Is this latest stock rom or is there any update?
By the way i am trying to find these rom or other stock Vodafone Turkey rom files for warranty issues. Is there any place which provide these files?
I just rooted and s-off my phone for adding market (cos google market is disabled in my country due to tax problems) I just push vending app and market updater app /system but i got two problems
When i open market app it crashes 3-4 times and after i can enter app. When i install an app sometimes it frezees at start downloading then i force close app and clear market data and voila download is starting again? Is there anybody solves these problems?
My last question about ota updates. As i say i just rooted and s-off my phone but i didn't change my rom. So can i got updates via OTA? (I know i'll lose root and s-off feature)
Thanx everybody for answers
merhaba,
It is hard to say that update is the latest formal stock rom. But you can find the latest confirmed wwe ruu in android developement forum. It is 2.29.405.2
You risked your warranty by rooting your device without having a original ruu. So, -at your own risk, plus you may need goldcard- I suggest you to install 2.29.405.2, this is the world wide edition rom and contains Turkish language. Maybe you won't find the Turkish choice at first but you can get it by using Custom Locale application which you can find with googling.
This will resolve your market problems. After rooting that rom, you can use Market Enabler to access paid and unavailable free applications through market.
I am not sure but, I believe you will get the OTA notifications after you root. And as you said you will loose root and etc. If you are already root why wait for an OTA. As soon as it is released or leaked you can install it.
It'll be the latest ROM for Vodafone Turkey but it's not unbranded. The latest unbranded ROM is 2.29.405.2

Hey,
When i first got my desire, one of the first things i did to it was root it and install the blank generic HTC rom (to get rid of all the crap my service provider had put on it). However, as its rooted i cant install the OTA update over the air. So ive downloaded the latest one from this forum but how to i install just the update exactly? Actually, i think i just downloaded the non root OTA update, is there a rooted 1.21... update somewhere?
Also, when i initially put the new rom on my phone, i didnt put app2sd on there as i heard about all these phones being bricked and didnt want to lose my nice new shiny desire, but ive heard this problem is now solved. How do i go about installing it now? Do i have to reflash everything or can i just install it over the top as if its an app itself somehow?
so to summarise:
1. how to install OTA manually
2. How to install App2sd
Thanks for you help

I have an orange phone which a while ago i flashed with a generic rom and rooted. because of this i was unable to install the OTA so i did a manual upgrade to this rom:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
This installed fine (it seems), but as i am on orange, when i rebooted the phone it was network locked. I read that flashing an older radio solved this problem so i went and flashed this radio:
update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed.zip
This now makes my phone boot and work fine with no lock, HOWEVER, the software version still says it is on 1.15.405.4 and not the updated version!!!!
I have tried testing one of the bugs that was fixed in the new ota (i sms'd myself from skype and it still says it was sent by a facebook contact) and so that fix clearly wasnt present and the upgrade just hasnt seemd to work. Can anyone shed any light on this? could it have anything to do with what is installed on my phone during step 1 of the root? the root package i am using is called r5-desire-root-alt
Thanks for anyone who can help on this
Rooting the phone puts the 1.15.405.4 ROM back on your device, if you want 1.21 you'll have to then buy an unlock code to free up the device...
There is an update ZIP in the ROM dev forum which updates the system but leaves the radio alone so might wanna try that...
thanks for this, but the only update i have been able to find in the dev forum is the one on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
but there is a note at the top saying they all contain radio updates
do you have a link to one without the radio update?
Didn't look hard did you??

thank you sooo much, this has finally sorted out my problem
Hello,
Im using HTC DESIRE for some time ebout 3 months,
i desided that i want to upgrade my HTC to 2.2 from 2.1 but for that i need to inlock my HTC.
i tried to faind on forms how to do it, with no luck
any 1 plz can expalin or direct me on forum how i unlock my phone

You mean root? Here is the thread.
For SIM unlock here.
if you have unbranded phone just go to settings/about phone/software-update
it will update automaticly
htc provides the update automatically when you check for updates from your phone.
if you do not intend to root, it should be enough
Well the automatic update wont update my phone to 2.2 so i have to root it
hope ill get it right

Really no need to root, if it wont update over the air then you need to check your firmware and your branding as some providers such as orange will hold back firmware updates
rooting is only needed if you want custom made roms, for official updates from your provider go ask them.
Rooting + costum roms have some advantages... no more low internal memory, thanks to app2ext (that's why I rooted)
Hello
Apologies if this has been covered before, but couldn't find anything in search.
I'm setting up a new UK unit which is currently running 51.1.4.0_user_514005520. Can I update to 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 (1 version up) without root? That's the version that fixes kodi/spmc launch crash. I'm thinking maybe there is a dir I can copy the update to and reboot the device. But, even then, I would hazard a guess that you need root to copy it there :/
This is my first experience with a unrooted box since US launch (I imported one and rooted from the start) so not sure if this is possible to do. I want to avoid updating to the latest firmware if I can.
Thanks!

Never mind. I think I found the answer. Remembered an old guide on aftnews. Guess you do need root.
