Vodafone UK OTA - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone got a link to the Vodafone UK OTA update ZIP? It's not for me but someone on the Vodafone forum who's still on the original Vodafone ROM
Version 1.75.161.2

Check android development eddie, football and xmoo are always posting branded ruu's.

debranding UK O2 Desire.

Hi
My desire has firmware : 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
I'm debating debranding it and putting the latest generic rom on it.
The reason for this is I'm moving from the UK to NZ, but would like to get the 2.2 firmware upgrade.
From what I've read, debranding will allow me to upgrade when I'm out of the UK.
Is this safe to do ? I don't want to brick my new phone !!
Can you advise how I would do this or if there is any other option for me !!
Many Thanks
Hi sorry to pick this one up as not answered but I am in exactly this position.
Bought a Desire from o2 in UK and moved to New Zealand.
VF NZ sim works straight out the box,
but will I be able to 2.2 this phone? My sw is 1.20.207.3.
Obviously dont need any o2 features on this phone as I wont be using their network?
Cheers from both.
Debrand using a ROM and guide, both can be found on this forum. I used a WWE ROM and it worked for me without any issues. You should then get any OTA updates as soon as they're released in your region.
Hope this helps.

Anyone has Desire official 2.1 HK RUU ROM?

Anyone has Desire official 2.1 HK RUU ROM? I want to unroot my Desire with it and then go for OTA 2.2.
The one downloaded previously is not an official 2.1 HK RUU, it is a test rom, OTA says there is no update. But you know Hong Kong has 2.2 OTA today!
If the Desire is rooted, it will restart and go to Recovery and makes the upgrade of OTA stopped even after downloaded via OTA.
Or is there HK official 2.2 RUU?
Please help!
may be requesting a HK 2.2 OTA rom is better way to unroot and upgrade the Desire.
you could get it from shipped-roms.com

you could use WWE Asia 1.19 instead of HK.

Can WWW Asia 1.19 be OTA upgrade to HK official 2.2? can't, right?
Using WWE Asia 1.19 may not upgrade the OTA 2.2 as I found there is checking of some telecomm provider package before installing OTA 2.2. So, there is no way to install OTA 2.2 now.
Is there any way to skip the checking steps of the OTA 2.2 zip ROM file?

The recovery program has an option of "Toggle Verification", is to bypass the signature checking, then flash 2.2 OTA zip. I tried once, it could upgrade to 2.2 but the root is still there.
I want to find the original official Recovery file, then I can push it to the device manually.
I did toogle verification to "Disable". But, another problem is occurred. I can't upgrade to 2.2 through the installing zip from sd card or apply update.zip in the recovery program.
The error assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko")

what you were doing is, when people are looking for an apple, then you say "here is an orange".
I am looking for Hong Kong 2.1 RUU, or Hong Kong 2.2 RUU in order to unroot my Desire, then to have my warranty back.
sorry to bother you but i think this is what you are looking for

i'm pretty sure the official 2.1 HK rom IS the WWE Asia 1.19 ROM. i bought my desire from HK and that is what was on it when i got it.

yes, you need to find a HK RUU rom to flash it in order to unroot your phone. I have got 2.2 HK RUU but no 2.1 HK RUU, how about you?

a liitle advice please...

I had originally an unbranded phone. next I received an OTA update from vodafone which.reduced my phone to rubble.
I rooted and replaced the Voda software with WWE english 2.2.
Now I get no OTA update notifications.
So have their been any recent updates to telephone, os? If so how do I need to apply them?
All the best,
Sam
Rooted = no official ota
Look at roms in development section for updates.
You can't have had an unbranded phone and then get the Vodafone OTA as that would mean you were Vodafone-branded from the start. The latest Vodafone ROM is 2.33.161.2 - the RUU is in Android Development if you want to downgrade at all

[Q] From where are system updates downloaded

Hi folks,
I have Desire HD branded from Tmobile Germany (CID is TMOB101), and I'd like to know, from where it downloading system updates? From HTC (official ROM), or from Tmobile (customized ROM, because of CID value)?
When I unpacked new phone and turn it on, it offered me an update to 2.2.1. From where it download the software update?
And when I was trying to flash an official ROM from HTC (from xdafil.es, WWE version), it stop ad the wrong device ID (or something similar). It has because the CID value?
Yes you have a branded CID so can only apply tmob updates and ruu's, if you eng s-off your device you will get superCID and can apply any uodate or rom

And can be downloaded that operator customized RUU's (Tmobile) somewhere?
I have searching on tmobile.de website, but found nothing. Or is somwhere on the net information about this customized updates?
Google shipped roms, maybe they have it

Great site, thanks.
There is some Desire HD (Ace) ROMs, but not customized. Maybe they add them in time

[Q] Official Swisscom ROM

Hi everyone,
So I'm here with my S-Offed HTC Desire wondering if someone has or know where to find original ROMs from swiss provider Swisscom.
Cause I'm very happy with my RCMix ROM but I was thinking of the day I would try to sell it and just thought that if I reinstalled an official RUU from HTC, the new owner would have troubles when an OTA update would arrive, because it requires a goldcard and the best would be to have a Swisscom ROM so the phone would run troubleless (even it would remain on poor 2.2 ).
BTW, if the phone remains S-Offed, do we really need a Goldcard, because if it works I could just put an official RUU, remove alpharev's boot screen and it would be ok, OTA updates without troubles (I remember that I tryed once to update when I just changed to official RUU from Swisscom's one and without a Goldcard the phone ran crazy haha).
Thanks
P.S. : If a swisscom's customer comes down here and has tried several Radios, could he or she tell which one seemed to work well with swisscom's network ? I didn't have time to try it seriously

There is also an ruu thread on the development section. You might be lucky
Sent from my HTC Desire
Hei,
Swisscom's ruu is the same as Vodafone UK.
So you can use the following ruu : RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28 U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe
Bye,
TS
A huge thanks

BTW how did you find the information? I did some searches but didn't find anything ... Does this Rom come with some vodaphone apps?
I hope this thread can help other Swisscom customers
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Because when I got my HTC Desire, there were several vodafone applications that could not be removed.
But, many people complained about that and now the rom is clean.
