[Q] From where are system updates downloaded - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Desire from HK with european ROM?

Hello.
I got my Desire in HK but did not think of having an Asian ROM on it.
Can I just flash a European ROM on it or will I run into problems?
I found a page with stock ROMS in the forum (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667) - which one should I use?
I would also like to change to an European ROM on my Desire from Asia. Is it possible to use one of the offical ROMS?
I just successfully flashed a WWE ROM and haven't run into any problems as of now.
I used one of the official ones available on xda. However I used a goldcard even though my device was unbranded.

Which ROM did you use? I am not so much into this, so what is a goldcard?
Did you have to set the phone up once again or did the settings survive? How about the installed apps?
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
This is the ROM I used. You can find it in the post you shared above. The second WWE ROM.
Preparing a Goldcard is a relatively easy process and you can find tutorials and in the android development section of the forum.
My settings didn't survive. As far as I know there is no complete backup solution for unrooted phones.

I guess I then will just wait for the next release - no point in spending hours to flash the same firmware version with no other benefits.

Got a new Desire, I have some questions.

hey guys, I got a desire and I'm new to android. so I have some questions:
1. my firmware is 1.19.707.7 and I know 1.21 is the lastest, but it says i have the newst one. what's wrong ? ( my Desire is unlocked and unbranded)
2. Froyo is coming to Desire this weekend, but how I know if I'll also get it? cause I heard only europe desire will get it.
3.How to root my Desire? I heard its different in 1.19.707.7 ?
4.My desire I think is from singapore, can I change the firmware to europe one ?
Thanks
1. There is nothing wrong. 1.19.707.7 is the latest Asia WWE rom.
2. The news was that Froyo is coming out this weekend across Europe (meaning Desire with EU roms) so you can't get it. At least not via OTA (but the real question is if it will actually get out).
3. Rooting method depends on bootloader version (at least paul's method).
Read about paul's method here and about unrevoked method here.
4. If you can flash custom roms, there shouldn't be a problem flashing different official rom.
First you have to root and then flash.
2.if I flash the europe official rom to my Desire, I'll also get OTA of Froyo?
3.my bootloader version is 0.80.0000
-Where is the paid applications? I can't find them in my desire, I see only free applications.
-If I flash to the official EU rom, I won't face any problems because it's official right? also My root will stay?
thanks man!
Hi, in my personal opinion, I think you will only get update if you r in Europe country plus your phone must be debranded and unlocked.
My htc desire is flash with the 1.21 HTC WWE roms and I'm in UK but I still can't get any update yet.
So i'm not sure whether or not the update is a false alarm to all of us.

Paid Android Market apps are available only in certain countries - list
Root will stay only if you flash pre-rooted official rom. But hey, unrevoked rooting method is very very simple so rooting again shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks!
just a question :
if I flash the europe official rom to my Desire, I'll also get OTA of Froyo?
Because Froyo has support of my language and I must it

[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

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

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.
