Branded devices to get froyo! - How to

Hi I have a Branded Desire from T-Mobile and I need some help. I have been reading the forums but I am still confused.
I want to get the update Froyo onto my phone.
What do I need to do? Do I need to root it? Or flash it? Or just unlock it?
Thank you for your help

Debrand it to a stock ROM and do OTA updates. Use the goldcard when doing updates though just to be safe (made during debrand process)

Guys, i'm not an Android newbie but never flashed ROM's etc - could I have a bit of help pls?
I've got a Vodafone ROM, going to debrand my Desire, using a Goldcard and then install the generic 2.1 sense ROM and then request OTA update. Got that whole process figured out etc
What I want to do is backup everything first. I'm not rooted and i'm going to use the 30 day trial of mybackup to backup data. I want to backup my apps too if possible - am i right in thinking Astro have a program to go this?
Will it all be fine to do backups to my SD first, create a goldcard on another SD, flash the other sense ROM, then update to froyo and then finally take out the goldcard, put the other SD back in and restore everything?
Any help would be appreciated pls!

After debranding you can sign in to the android market and download the apps again from the downloads option.

Thank you for the help.
When you say debrand ... what is that? Rooting? or Unlocking? Sorry for the noobness!

Is there a reliable guide to debrand my Desire. Mine is also Vodafone locked:
HBOOT-0.80.0000
I don't know how to find my rom version. I really would like froyo soon, thanks!

Hi mine is branded to 02 only with the splash screen and unlocked, I found a Stock rom called
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
If i put this on and then checked for updates would this allow me to update to Froyo 2.2????
Any help would be greatfulllllllllllllll

Debranding is flashing the phone to a stock ROM which doesn't have any network branding. It doesn't unlock the phone to use on other networks. If your phone is locked to a network you could always buy a code from eBay to unlock it.

Yes it should work. I use a WWE ROM as it has more languages and apps available for it. It also worked just fine for me on the OTA update.

I'm going down the de branding root now. I'm on a branded t-mobile desire in the UK.

Usually caused by dodgy goldcard
B

After you debrand, do you get any updates from your carrier that could mess it up, or do you just get them from HTC directly?

My Phone came with the default asian ROM 1.19.707.7.
It's a SLCD phone.
and it worked perfrctly with it.
I have rooted the phone and now i want to go back to the factory ROM. but when i download the default 1.9.707.7 RUU ad installed, my screen gets bricked due to ROM not having SLCD drivers.

at last found a solution...
wht i did was, first installed the normal Desire Asian ROM. Yes it will brick your phone... then i used a card reader to put the Asian Froyo Update file to the sd card (Renamed as update.zip)
then i followed the SLCD bricked tutorials on how to install a Update to a SLCD brocked phone..
hope this will help....

Make sure you use a gold card if you had to before, otherwise you'll get a CID failure

Thanks, you rule!

Hi,
I am new to android. I rooted my phone with unrevoke3 but now i want to unroot this because i am not able to upgrade system updates. My android version is 2.2,Baseband version is 32.44.00.32u and software number is 2.13.720.1. I have tried to flash RUU downloaded from shipped-rom.com but it fails to install by poping an error of rom not compatable: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed(3)
What should i do?? How i can unroot my HTC Desire?? Please help..
Thanks in advance..!!

You will need to find the RUU for the ROM you're now on. If not, you'll have to find a way to downgrade.
If you have a gold card you can downgrade and then flash the RUU you can find. Follow this guide:

It is not about where you can find, it is about how you make them.
So...start searching in this forum on how to make/create a gold card for HTC Desire.

[Q] Need to flash back to stock Orange ROM for warranty repair.

Hi there, Got a desire which I rooted using goldcard method way back when I first got the phone (flashed it with stock HTC ROM to get rid of branding etc).
Now I have to send the phone back for a warranty repair and i'm not sure how to get back to stock rom. I tried using revoked3 to root it so I could install the orange ROM but had no luck (possibly due to the fact it was rooted via goldcard method as its carrier locked).
Would it be as easy as getting the orange ROM and just updating it normally? Or will I have to go through the whole tedious goldcard method again?

The big problem is that there isn't an Orange RUU available and, as far as I know, no-one has dumped it to install as an update zip.
If you did find it anywhere then you shouldn't need the gold card.

yeah I cannot find it anywhere!

At the moment, there isn't one.
Perhaps you should just flash the WWE RUU and hope orange dont ask questions
Unfortunately, you're in the same boat as all orange customers that have rooted....

And t mobile uk customers with slcd screens wwe ruu is the only way or my way which was to use an amoled ruu which blanked the screen so along with a new motherboard it also got a screen! Not that I did it intentionally mind! Sheer luck saved the day.

Stock HTC Desire

How do I unroot, restore default ROM, restore default hboot and go back to S-ON. Basically 100% stock since I need to send my phone back to the provider due to hardware issues. Many thanks.

Download and run the latest ruu. Check the Desire Index thread.

Actually, you need to download the latest RUU for YOUR Desire. Did you make a note of it before flashing a new ROM?

You can find everything in this thread

so flashing the ruu restores default hboot and S-ON?

Yes it does

Hi
When I tried H3G uk its saying ur phone ready to use but screen not working when i tried WWE(world wide english), it stated the customer id prob, install correct RUU.

You need a gold card for a non-3 UK RUU - sounds ike you have an SLCD screen and flashed an AMOLED RUU, hence the black screen

Out of interest, if you run available 3uk ruu and check for updates, won't it update it for you? Mine was 3uk before root and custom ROM, so might need this info at some point. Thanks

Yes, but if you can't see what you're doing it'll be hard to do it

I see what you mean lol. In old Nokia days we used to change language to Chinese on the friend phones. After having it done to me a few time I could change it back with my eyes closed. LOL
