Hi guys.
I have flashed numerous ROM's onto my desire, but never a radio.
Im not sure what I need, and what the risks are. All i hear is that its possible to brick flashing Radio's and a bricked desire is something I cannot afford to replace.
My desire, is running DeFroSt 6.0j.
Everything is running OK at the moment, but if I can improve, then I will

Cheers guys

Just flash it like a ROM from CWM/AmonRA. I can assure you, if you download radios from here (with md5 checksums to verify them), nothing can go wrong.
Thanks for the reply. So the problem isnt the flashing of the radio, its a corrupt or infected radio file?
Yes, but as I said, if you get it from here, it will work.
Brill, thanks for the advice
Any idea what radio to use? Is there a way to pair a radio with a Rom?
Latest is OK, you can use it with any ROM.
Great. And finally.. what is the latest (is there a "latest radio" thread), does it work with all desire's and how do i check the MD5? (i understand what a checksum is, but have never worked with them before).
Posted the thread in my previous post (post #4). Latest radio is shown on top.
No MD5 in that thread, but I can guarantee that the latest will work (installed the same from there).
Thanks again!
The radio you're on is actually just as good as the latest one so you've no real need to change

Hi just got my HTC Desire and would love to root it (only had experance with WM roms before) but would like to have an orignal ROM as a backup, I saw there is a thread with some orginal roms but don't know which one I need, any idea's?
Thanks in advance
Check sticky notes at top of dev forum, under RUU roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Then cross reference your radio and network provider, or WWE if you don't have a network. Sorry I am not sure about the bootloader side.
And always do nandroid backups from recovery, before flashing.
Would be no network as i've checked with a voda sim card and my phone works it's not 3 branded which i'm happ about
But did you buy it from 3?
Well anyway, that's the full list, with nearly all of them there, hope it helps.
Yep direct from 3 on upgrade lol but it's not branded
hi there, im really new to android devices and bought a htc desire last month. i just wanna know how to root desire? which one should i do first? downgrade HBOOT 93? (and what version) or root the device?
also how to know if you're using AMOLED or SLCD?
i read the forums and found topics about HBOOT and display issues about SLCD.
i hope someone here could guide me to the right path.

You're already on FroYo, that much is easy to see. I'd imagine you're on 2.10.405.2 going by the radio, to check go to Settings>About phone>Software information
Why do you want to root? I rooted at first but have gone back to stock as it just does what I need it to...
hmm.. most of the nice and cool applications in android needs root access. same time i want to see if flashing my radio could improve phone's weak signal.
In which case I'd look at this thread...

Thanks EddyOS, i followed the instructions but in the HBOOT menu i didnt find the HBOOT USB?
When you connect the phone via USB it'll then show HBOOT USB - the option you're looking for is on the EVO only (the guide should say that but it doesn't)
Might wanna read these from the unrEVOked website...

Thanks EddyOS, done rooting my Desire!
im beginning to think what apps to be installed.. too excited
I'd appreciate if someone could help me here.
I sent my phone in for warranty, and I recently got it back, they switched the mainboard. Now I'm unable to root. When running Unrevoked 3.3 (both with standard and custom, Amon-RA 2-0, recovery). It's stuck on "pushing recovery".

Thanks, but I've already read that. I didn't understand it fully out. Does it mean that I can't root?
Bump, please help?
Still no luck, please help?

Did you tried the last unrevoked 3.32? If it doesn't work, mean u are missing something..check drivers etc..
I have the same phone, and after some problems rooted it with amonra 2.01 through unrevoked. Make sure you remember the unrevoked driver install.

Hey... I think I'm having the same problem with Unrevoked's latest version -- 3.32. Details of my phone's hboot screen are:

Plz Help!!!!!!!
It says the root process was triumph. And then, it gives the error -- Validation Error: Back CID is missing.
Other Info:
-- I've no idea how come this is S-OFF -- actually, it's a used device I bought from ebay.in in India
-- Also, how to find out whether this phone is SLCD one or the AMOLED one. My another phone is Galaxy S which has Super AMOLED Plus and looking by its displau quality, I think the desire is AMOLED.
-- It would be helpful too if there is a way to find out its origin -- UK, Germany, etc?
Help!
First, uncheck "disable security" in unrevoked. Second, try custom recovery, amonra seems to be working for everyone. Mine has same specs and i successfully rooted twice, both time with amonra, but unrevoked forever is not supported, hence you have to uncheck that security thingy (can't remember exact wording, it's in unrevoked-file-...security...
Used unrevoked 3.2 Test to solve this!

Hey.. thanks for pointing it out but I already got it alright by using the 'unrevoked 3.2 Test' file. I know it was very risky and the test file was withdrawn by the developers because of bugs, but I just did it and it's fine now. S-OFF is still S-OFF, recovery installed fine, though!
Thanks you, again!
I believe desire is sold with s-off by default in India and China. Hence,its from one of these two countries.

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Try Unrevoked 3.21. You can download it after a little search in google. I have same HBOOT and PVT4, and the latest versions of Unrevoked don't work for me, but 3.21 does.
I've successfuly applied new recovery and rooted with the latest unrevoked, but before that it was needed to roll back to 2.2 rom...

yes you can install custom roms now. but if there is a rom that requires 'custom hboot' like DATA++ or CM7 hboot etc you would have to s-off first.
also you never MUST flash new radios, it is only if you want to or if your phone doesnt work properly anymore (connection issues).
i was in your situation week ago. and believe me, it was worth S-OFFing my device. it was super easy (as easy as rooting, CD method) and the benefits are... well data++ roms are super-fast, and when i was using a2sd+ or data2ext roms (which is what you will be using) i kinda fooled myself that i dont care bout lags damn, now i couldnt cope with it !
if you want the -new Sense- roms (from desire HD or desire S) go for s-off it is worth it. if you want stock desire sense or non-sense rom, there is no need for s-off, since this roms are pretty fast, but using them with custom hboot will give you more responsivness when you will have lot of apps
all types of roms (new sense, old sense, no sense, miui) are available for S-ON users, but some of them will be kinda slow.

Thank you for taking time to reply !!!
Ur words gave me the confidence to move ahead further and apply the method to turn S-off.Now the phone is completely hacked and i installed CM7...what a change it has bought to the device...its definitely very much snappier than stock(eventhough i found it super snappy after my topaz...lolz)...Just like to add that rooting on Android is more complicated than HSPL nd other stuff on WM....but thanks to people like you and friends at xda made things very simple.
Hey Guys,
I've got an HTC Desire, from 3 - it came with all the Three UK stuff on it (like the boot screen etc), but I rooted it, and flashed it with OXYGEN MOD, the latest one...but I'm now sending my phone in for a small repair job, and need to reflash it to stock.
I've made the goldcard etc, and am trying to flash it with an RUU H3G_UK rom, which I downloaded (RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe). However, when I try to update it using PB99IMG.zip method, it says:
Code:
'Main Version is older!'
'Update Fail!'
'Do you want to reboot device?'
'<VOL UP> Yes'
'<VOL DOWN> No'
Any ideas as to what I should do?
Cheers. Phil.
Oh, and I thought I should post this too:

Yep this happens because you will not be able to downgrade the hboot with this official update, and because it is an old 3 rom, it contains an old bootloader.
You will either have to find a newer 3 rom with something like 0.93 bootloader or a newer wwe rom(3/htc won't care).
You might also be able to somehow flash an older bootloader using an s-off bootloader and fastboot, and then run the update afterwards, but that is way too complicated.
Which part of this?:
Code:
RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe
...contains the HBOOT version?
It doesn't, but the branded official roms are always that old, and as the rom version is 1.xx i know it is an android 2.1 rom, which means hboot 0.75 or 0.80.
Also your error message state the problem quite clearly.
And to clarify my last answer.. No you will not be able to find a 3 branded rom with a 0.93 hboot, so go for a wwe instead.
What about this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Don't use that - your Desire didn't come on that 3 UK RUU so no idea how it'll behave as you have a PVT4 Desire
There isn't a newer RUU and those old ones are for AMOLED Desire's only - you're kinda stuck
That might and might not work. It depends on the hboot included. The topic you link to uses a hboot version 0.83, because it works with all slcd phones as well. So if the 3 ruu contains 0.83 as well, this should work, and if it doesn't, you wont be able to install it anyway.
Now for gods sake please listen to me when i tell you that neither 3 nor htc will care whether your phone contains a branded rom.. They might not even care if it is rooted. So please just flash the damn wwe 2.2 rom...
My last post in here i think you get what i think you should do and i cant/wont help you risking doing something stupid.
Good news fellows
I flashed it using this:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed
and it worked no problem, I'm now back running Froyo 2.2 woop. cheers!
Hi all - need some help unrooting my desire.
Have tried every RUU I can find, and the PB99 img route but everything fails. I believe my desire is an unbranded (although I got it from Vodafone), but I have flashed a new radio in the past.
If anyone can point me in the right direction id appriciate it.

what was the reason of the fail ??
maybe you will need to downgrade either the ROM or hboot or both.
before you can flash RUU again.
try first to flash a froyo custom rom... then flash RUU for gingerbread,
that may help, as the RUU will not flash if the current phone's ROM is >= the RUU
Yeah, was telling me the flash was older, etc, i thought it was down to a newer HBOOT didnt realise it could be due to my CM7 rom I have installed,,, will chuck an old Froyo rom on later and try it - thanks!
dammit.. looks like i need something like this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
But... all the older rom links are Multiupload.com which doesnt exist any more... can anyone help? Anyone have a stock FroYo rom to share?
Kev
i might be wrong, to
u may still need to downgrade the hboot to.
but try a lower ROM first
Will do when i get home later, thanks!
