WIFI not working after upgrade to 2.29.405.2 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody, I have problem after upgrading from 2.10.405.2 to 2.29.405.2
After this upgrade I am not able to switch WiFi ON. It always stays OFF saying an error message while I am trying to start it.
I have tried to upgrade radio. Successfully upgraded to latest (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27), but WiFi is still dead.
I have NOT rooted Desire. Update was made by ZIP file from Recovery. Originally it was Orange branded phone.
Anyone can help me please? Thank you in advance.

Latest radio is 5.14.05.17. You can download it here. When I upgraded the update worked for me fine. Can't you upgrade further since there is 2.29.405.5 version out?

Thank you for your answer. I have sucessfully upgraded radio from your link to 5.14 but WiFi is still disabled - dead.
Do I need to do RUU flash for upgrading to 2.29.405.5? I have tried to RUU with 2.29.405.2 but with no success - so does it meen I need to have gold card? It looks my phone is debranded. Am I right?

If you're not sure if your phone is locked on a specific network, just try to use another SIM and see what happens.
As for unrooting, there is no express need for the goldcard if you are using a generic RUU, but is required if using a specific RUU.

No, it is not locked. But why it refused to RUU? Perhaps I use wrong RUU. Which generic RUU should I try? And - will it fix my dead wifi?

Check this thread for a comprehensive list of official RUUs. Assuming you are using a GSM version of the Desire, I would recommend this .
If after the succesfull update of the RUU your wifi does not come back to life, you should make use of the warranty.

Oh my god! I have realized that this Desire IS ROOTED!!!! That should be a reason why it created mess and now WiFi is not working properly.
So I will try to flash some rooted rom.

Try this:
Go to wireless networks
press menu button
select advanced
select the wifi channel policy
after you have selected the wifi channel policy you will be able to turn on wifi.
this used to happen to me when i changed rom on my htc desire. the problem is that the wifi channel is not selected. it just keeps turning on and off. the above procedure solved the problem for me. hope this helps.

Thank you for replies. I have solved the problem by flashing another rooted rom. Now I am 2.29.405.5
to jamy: it's a pitty I flashed the phone sooner as I have read your post. I am really wondering if it would help...
Anyway thank you, guys!

Problems unrooting my Desire

I have rooted my Desire a month ago, and allmost eversince do I experience network problems. Now I want to Unroot my Desire, but when I try to load a original RUU. It says something about bootloader not the right verion ?
Can anyone help me out please, or I will have to sent my phone in for repairments.
Basicly it's problem with syncing of gmail and entering the android market over the 3g network, when accessing it by wifi no problems, so it must be the 3g connectivity.
Regards Jacob
Download the original rom.exe and use that to reflash back.

Problems after ota froyo

Ok I installed Froyo but now when my phone boots I keep getting the message "Process system is not responding". So I decided to format my sd card and boot it up again. Still got the message. So I tried Factory Reset. When I booted up again it hadn't reset anything and I still get the error.
I was on 2.1 stock wwe rom not rooted.
How can this be fixed as my phone now doesnt work correctly.
Is there an ruu of froyo available anwhere?
Ok I rebooted into recovery and cleared storage. My phone booted but this time it actually did clear storage but now I'm still getting the error message.
Just too add aswell. My phone Keeps rebooting every 10 minutes now.
Sounds like the same problem that I am having.
Also on upgrade from the WWE unrooted version of 2.1 and on Orange.
Not looking good atm
Same problem here...
My Desire is just debrandet.

Just out of curiosity, did you have your 2.1 setup to keep a backup of your settings?
Because I'm pretty sure thats where my problem lies. But if you didn't have that option enabled it can't be that.
I didnt think Orange were pushing out Froyo updates just yet?
Any1 Know if we can Downgrade?
Same problem here, mine is a debranded unrooted Desire on O2. I also can't connect to the mobile network or WIFI.

Dont forget to use goldcard while updating previously branded phones
I didnt use my gold card while installing the OTA update and now i have the same problem, it reboots every 5 minutes or so, no wifi or mobile connection. Previously on o2 and just unbranded with HTC stock rom prior to update.
Any ideas how I can go back and reinstall, or get it to work?! I tried putting the goldcard in and restarting but that makes no difference.
My storage card isnt recognised either so not sure i can try and force the 1.21 WWE back on over USB...
got exactly the same problem as you lot. never used a goldcard so im assuming it was that. will wait till i get home and then try and force the 1.21 WWE back on with my goldcard and then see if OTA works with goldcard. till 7pm i have a suck in a loop resetting Bricked desire
Same problem on debranded vodaphone.
Doesnt appear to recognise my sim but miraculously i have recieved a call.
Doesnt recognise my storage card.
Reboots every few minutes.
I debranded my phone using a gold card even though i wasnt 100% sure that it was branded. Then flashed WWE ROM.
HELP!!!
Noob question, but why do we need to use a goldcard to perform updates on a previously branded device? I thought once we unbranded our device our phone was standard?
I downgrade by putting my goldcard in and rebooted phone holding volume down key and selected fastboot then ran the 2.1 RUU.exe and it worked. So now im gonna try the ota again with goldcard inserted and I'll let you know what happens.
got the same problem, just bought this phone few days ago and updated it like an hour ago. i bought it debranded. any help?

[Q] do original RUUs restore recovery image?

Hi all, would like to know if, after installing a custom ROM, if i use a RUU will the recovery image be restored to default?
Thanks in advance!
Yes it Will
Yay! thank you! so just using the RUUs i will totally reset my desire, so HTC won't be able to tell if it's been rooted before?
Don't know whether they can't tell, whether they look if they've no need to I don't know...so long as it's on a stock ROM I don't think they'd check

What is a RUU and how can I do it, as I'm having the same problem.
I rooted to allow Titanium Backup to have root after using unrevoked but wasn’t aware that meant I also had a custom rom installed now.
I’ve been told I need to RUU as well.
RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility
It's the official way of flashing a ROM. Each phone has a software version running on it when you first get it and you should make a note of the one on yours before doing anything root-related for the very reason that if something goes wrong you can revert back to stock. Not all versions are available, e.g. there are no Orange RUUs about, but the ones that are can be found here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
If you didn't happen to make a note of yours then it's hard to say what it came with. If you've only rooted and NOT flashed a new ROM yet then if you go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version we might be able to help
Thanks for all the information it helps fill in some blanks.
I dont think I have put a different rom on it, I only rooted using revoked- does that mean it has a different rom now?
and my settings show
Android 2.2
Baseband version 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2
Kernel version 2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0 [email protected] #1
Build number 2.12.110.2 CL232610 release-keys
Software number 2.12.110.2
on a side note the link you posted - what do the numbers correspond to, my Kernel or build
Right you're on a T-Mobile FroYo ROM but the issue is there isn't that versions RUU available...how long have you had your Desire?
Damm.
I got mine in April this year, why do you ask.
Can I not use RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_AT_2.12.112.1_Radio_32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe?
You CAN use that but it's the Austrian one...the reason I ask is to find out the screen type, you should be on an AMOLED screen so you can flash the older 1.21.110.4 RUU if you need to - you'll need a gold card to do it, though, I believe
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
If I do flash the older 1.21.110.4 version, are there any drawbacks, or will I just be able to update through OTA updates that will then be available to me through T-mobile to get me back to normal?
Also is there a best way to do this RUU as I have seen a few guides, can you recommend any to follow.
The way I'd do it is:
1. Download that RUU
2. Have gold card in your phone and HTC Sync installed on your PC
3. Connect phone to PC and select 'HTC Sync' from the options on the phone
4. Once HTC Sync on the PC shows connected, run the RUU
5. All being correct it'll flash the ROM
6. Assuming it's worked, you should get the OTA updates again as you did before
Replying on here and androidforums is getting confusing!!!
Thanks for all the help and I hope those instructions were meant for me and not some one else
Maybe you have to downgrade your hboot to 0.75.

Yes they're for you but there's someone on androidforums with EXACTLY the same issue - you sure you're not the same person??
Nope thats not me
I followed all the procedures. But the RUU gave me an error after a few minutes saying 'Error 140 Bootloader version error'.
What does that mean and how can I fix it.
Which RUU are you trying to use? And which HBOOT are you on now?
Im trying to use the one you recommended above RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
Bootloader version I found out by holding the back key and power button to swithc on, it says HBOOT - 0.93.0001

[Q] O2 HTC Desire Can't Apply RUU Please Help!

Hello,
I'm posting here in desperation, I really hope someone could help me.
I've recently bought a HTC Desire from O2. It was running Android 2.2 but I flashed cyanogenmod to it along with the latest radio.
Cyanogenmod worked fine but the radio stopped my 3G internet from working. In the end I decided to simply revert back to original setup using a RUU.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, the first RUU I tried ALMOST worked but then failed claiming a file was missing and that I needed to try a complete RUU.
From that point onwards I have been unable to find an RUU that will work - I constantly receive error code 140, bootloader version error.
Can anyone please tell me how to circumvent this error OR provide me with an O2 RUU that will work?
Here's the spec from my startup screen:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP - 051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.09.05.30_2
Please note that the only option I have available to me from the boot-menu is RUU - Any option to enter recovery mode is not visible.
Please please help me, thank you so much in advance.
I wish I could give helpful advice...
I'm gonna try though.
Download one of the latest RUU's from here.
Perhaps your RUU was a bit old?
I've only ever done RUU once, when sending my phone back for repair. I encountered another issue.
To the OP, which RUU are u trying to use?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Make sure you've got a goldcard then do the downgrade. After that you should be able to do any RUU you like.
Lol just try a different radio. Have you manually set your APN?

Hi dehaani. In order to run the downgrade utility I surely need to be able to access my device (to enable usb debugging ) I currently can't get further than a grey HTC logo with exclamation marks in the corners? Is there a way to downgrade without the need to boot in to a ROM?
I've tried running almost all RUU I can find online, most of them result in Error 140: Bootloader version error.
I can't flash another radio because the only option I have available to me in bootloader is "RUU", no option to restore etc. How do I manually set my APN?! Would this involve access to the phone too?
Thank you all so much for your responses so far, please keep helping.
try again hope good luck
This might have been pot luck on my part getting through to someone who knew their stuff, but I had a problem when flashing Oxygen RC7 to my desire.
I had to ring o2 about another contract I have, used by a family member, and they asked if there was anything else they could help with so I jokingly replied "not unless you know about flashing replacement ROMs..." would you Adam & Eve it, the clever little badger only went and talked me through the issue I had come across on my Desire.
Might be worth giving them a bell if you cant find a solution online, I've always found them very helpful.

Desire showing "Limited Service" after Unlock

Phone was 2.2 (Froyo) Locked to Orange/EE HBoot 0.93.0000
I unlocked desire using this guide:
http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Blog/Unlock-HTC-Desire-Free/ba-p/3185757
However, afterwards it was showing No Sim or Limited Service on any SIM card.
So I Upgraded the phone using the 2.3 Upgrade HBoot 1.02.0001.
Now it recognises and works with an Organe/EE sim after about 5 mins of being left, but when i reboot the phone, it shows No Sim.
With Any Other SIM it just shows "Limited Service".
I still have full functionality and can access HBoot.
Any Advice Please
Thanks
What ROM did you use to upgrade to 2.3?
It might be good to upgrade your radio firmware.
I used HTCs own 2.3 Upgrade which they gave out for everyone.. Its the one that debrands the phone. I got it from:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
Scroll down, its the Last one in the list, the phone isnt broken.. it works fine but it seems as if its only half unlocked and the person only gave half the instructions.
My Info is:
HBoot 1.02.0001
Version 2.3.3 / BaseBand V: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 / Kernel: 2.6.35.10 / Build: 3.14.405.1.
Which Radio version should I flash?. I dont mind flashing the Radio back to Orange/EE and ill just pay to Unlock it
Thanks
You cannot re-lock the phone.
And you already have the latest radio. You could try flashing it again through fastboot, but i don't think it will do anything.
Try running the unlock tool again. Maybe something will get fixed.

Tried that and it didnt work.. after reading through the comments section of that website.. it looks as if it shouldve been rooted through revolutionary. The worst of this is.. its not even my phone.. its my nephews, which is great.. anyone got any suggestions at all.
I have downloaded the "WWE 2.29.405.8".. I wonder if mayberooting and going back a radio might help.. any ideas.
thanks
