obviously, the answer is not desired!

I wondered this too...
Obviously they are some sort of 'version' numbering system...
mine is an unbranded Desire - shows: PVT1.
The thread linked above suggests PVT4 is newer so that's my thinking behind that.
I don't know any real differences between them though???

Just different builds probably, I've no idea. I'm on PVT1 too - got my Desire a week after its release

I always thought that PVT was some sort of like security thing or linked to it.

Oops! meant to start a new thread

the Difference in betwwn pvt1/2/3/4/ ship desires
Many people are encountering problems which are on pvt4 ship..
The basics that desire shipped and manufactured FOur type of devices PVT1,2,3,4.... the pvt4th is the last segment of the shipment.
The difference between these device is the different SYSTEM BLOCK SIZE and ERASE SIZE....
in pvt4..it is the least..while pvt1 is greatest..means most competible..
GOT IT???

[Q] Unlocking/re-flashing from Orange UK stock android 2.3.5

All, Getting really tired of the un-installable carrier bloatware, apps like Facebook that that never close and not required etc. Before my DHD I used to re-flash my HTC Touch Pro weekly, but it seems the process isn't quite so simple nowadays.
Now please, before I say another word, do not flame me. I am not writing this request for help to be lazy, I've been reading various how-to's all afternoon and there is so much information to assimilate and what if variables, command shells etc I am scared to death of missing something or mis-understanding. Especially around issues if I've done OTA upgrades from Froyo to Gingerbread, which I have.
So please community, sincerely, could someone offer a few tips to cover my back so I'm not back here again tomorrow nursing a bricked handset
Here is my current software info :
Orange UK Stock
Android 2.3.5
Sense 3.0
Software 3.13.61.5
Kernal 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
[email protected] #1
Wed Nov 9 14:04:03 CST 2011
Baseband 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
Build 3.13.61.5 CL228058 release-keys
Browser Webkit/533.1
The phone itself has Orange hardware branding as do all Orange UK sourced handsets. If I remember correctly the phone shipped with Orange stock Froyo, then an OTA patch, then major update to Gingerbread and then an OTA GPS patch. Whether there were any anti-exploit bootloader fixes tucked in there I do not know.
Have I followed things correctly - that the Advanced Hack Kit will cover all angles and take care of this for me without downgrading etc? Is this correct? Any gotcha's or additonal process steps?
Thank you very much!

Personally I recommend using the HTC Dev official bootloader unlock, it'll give you an open bootloader and you can go right ahead and root your stock ROM or flash any custom DHD ROM you like. It's quite an easy process but you might need to update your HBOOT and HTC's process for that requires Windows, everything else can be done on OS X or Linux as well though (not sure what OS you use, just covering all the angles).
Edit: forgot I was in the DHD forums, bootloader unlocking has limitations, ignore this if you want to use ported ROMs etc, sorry!

Thanks anyway Hexgore.
Well my patience (or lack of) got the better of me so I went ahead and let AAHK do its stuff. What an awesome tool. Followed the instructions to the letter and it worked beautifully, including the auto-downgrade process which I was kind of dreading.
So anyone else on the same stock, go right ahead and I hope it goes as smoothly as mine. IceColdSandwich here I come

I agree AAHK is a brilliant piece of well written piece of code that many people will find useful or have found useful. Personally I think its the easiest way to root and S-OFF for the device. Flash CM7, install SetCPU, install the ICS theme for CM7 and you have perfection! Runs like butter down your chin on my UNDERCLOCKED DHD

Re: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076 << thread i been trying to use.
On the third move (sh /sdcard/DHD/hboot)
it all works but it then says

df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6 << CORRECT MD5
954ee123699488613c5e0afd2d703c43 /sdcard/DHD/hboot_orig0.bin the .files are different why?
then it says
IF the first and second MD5 Sums match, it went correct and you are safe to reboot.
IF the first and third MD5 sums match, it failed writing but this is NOT a fatal and is safe to REBOOT!
carrying on with if none match is isnt safe to reboot so do NOT REBOOT and seek help on forums..
Why do they not match? PLEASE HELP !!

The link in your post is to an old guide, although it should work for you as you have a Froyo rom.
For a more up to date method download the guide from post 7 of this:

Here is a direct link to attn1's aahk. This is the best and safest method imo.

[Q] Only want bloatware gone!?!

Hi!
Got a new desire hd A9191 after I smashed the screen on my old one
I know its now an old phone model but decided on another dhd as theyre more than good enough for me
I got the first one 3-4 years ago, upgraded to a Samsung galaxy s3 when my contract ran out 18 months later but really didnt like the s3 compared to my dhd (believe it or not!) so sold the s3 and stuck with my dhd
Anyways...
What id like to do is to get rid of the bloatware that comes with a new phone
Ive looked through a load of threads but they are either outdated, not supported anymore, have dead links (probably due to the age of the phone (and my question!)) or are more about flashing a custom rom
Also some of what ive read is well beyond my understanding and I don't want to be starting yet another "help me ive messed my phone up" thread!
What I do understand is that to delete stock apps I need root access to my dhd
There are apps on the app store that easily delete stock apps but you need root access for them to work
So could someone please tell me either an up to date tool to use or an up to date thread to follow that will get my dhd rooted
Am looking at the VISIONary tool at the mo due to the software version im running (see below) as per
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
Was just going to do step one and use the VISIONary tool to root my dhd and not worry about step 2 and 3 Is this any good?!?
Some details...
android version 2.2
baseband version 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

My dhd is in brand new out the box condition
Ive not done any updates or downloaded any apps yet
Many thanks for reading!!

Hi bananagranola
Thank you for your reply
This is one of the tools I looked at but support has been stopped and didnt think it would work for my dhd after reading this (im on froyo 2.2)
glevitan:
First Line in the warning...this Is just for stock devices. Will only work in gb because froyo will not allow to unlock the bootloader....
Do I need to update to gb before using the easy ace tool?!?
Many thanks
Matt

Yes, you will need to run a RUU.

Ive connected my dhd to my broadband and had the 2.3.5 update pop up so will run that and then go through the ace root tool
Thanks for taking the time to reply again!

Help with Android version/problem update on "HTC Test" one m8 please

Hi all,
Please forgive any noob errors!
So, i've enjoyed my HTC One m8 for a few years.
I admit i got it eBay (fleaBay!!) from what turns out to be a tester. Hence the "test phone/device" status.
Unbeknown to me, this would appear to have meant that my Android OS has not been updating at all over my ownership.
Not a huge problem until i developed exactly this problem:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/white-dot-mouse-pointer-m8-t3524318
and set about looking into fixing things,

I dont know if being able to update Android would help with above problem, but im sure it'd be a good start.
Installed was
HTC SSD Test Tool App, Ver 5.2.14.6 - anything i can do with this?!
PVS Info App, Ver 2.3
RxD Test QMI App, Ver 1.12
Any advice as to how i can solve either or both of the issues of the white dot/cursor issue - tried all suggested int he other thread, and Android update unlocking would be gratefully received!
Cheers
Dave

The GPS issue and Google Maps problem seems to be a common issue with our device. I experienced it on lineage os and fixed it by flashing the rom linked below. Also, it appears that your bootloader is locked. That needs to be addressed first.

Also, on googling "HTC test" you may want to investigate that further. There may be an XDA thread related to it as well. It is definitely nothing I am familiar with.

Thanks for the reply AR.
Its looking increasingly like the only way to get anywhere with this might be to unlock. Do you think this would enable updating, or would it then be a question of manually updating?
I'm just a little reluctant becuase i dont want to end up bricking my phone. But i guess it's getting to the point where its becoming increasingly frustrating it might be time to upgrade if nothing else can be done.
As far as the "HTC Test" thing goes there are a few other threads on here and elsewhere, but none with a resolution. Looks like mostly people have been in a position to hand them back and ask for a legit device. Dangers of eBay!
