You're fine. =]
oh, so i take it mines up to date then lol
Looks fine just earlier firmware release. I wouldn't recommend applying any OTA updates thought as later firmwares are not rootable, but then if you intend staying stock and unrooted upgrade away

Fair enough if your happy with stock. But the likelihood of bricking it, if your capable of following instructions is infintinesimal
you dont know my luck lol
Use my tools, you can't go wrong. Nobody has bricked a DHD using them yet, I use very tight safety measures
If something is not right, the tools will just abort and return the device to square one.
thx jkoljo, ill concider doing it once im used to the phone
just a thought. am i missing an update then?

I received the HTC Desire from Mobiles.co.uk today (shipped on Saturday). I selected a Vodafone 12 month contract.
The phone appears to be completely unbranded and has the following software information:-
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 32.30.00.28u_4.05.00.11
Kernel version: 2.6.29-97da29ed

How do you tell if it is sim-locked, and does anyone have a newer firmware version?

Try a non-Voda sim in it!
would be good if guys with t-mobile could post their soft versions and then eventually if they have any issues with the phone ask MazMx5 to try to do things on his desire

Interesting. The Generic HTC ROM going the rounds is the same version as on yours. I have already flashed my T-mobile version of the HTC desire with the generic ROM to get rid of the "minor" branding. The case has no T-mobile markings.

the only difference, maybe the unlocked vodafone desire is simply unbranded-unlocked t-mobile phone?

yes, exactly my thoughts, .. we can confirm this when the unlocked version appears, ... hope they all dont have the same version .. it will be stupid and we would have waited for nothing

i have emailed mobiles.co.uk about it but so far no response, as im thinking of gettin the unlocked/unbranded desire on vodafone for 12 months, but seems like ill have to wait couple days to get some info confirmed
Hi. I have 2 x Desires: 1 for my wife and 1 for me. Both bought from MobilePhonesDirect on TMobile. They are both slightly different so I checked the software version it is running and they both have different:
kernel version:
build number:
software version:
How can I update them so they are both the same? Will the Froyo update that is coming update all 3 sections?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any particular reason why you want to do this? If I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about it at this stage.
At I guess, I'd say you've probably ended up with one generic unbranded phone, and one actual T-Mobile one - does the Internet icon look the same on both phones?
If you post the actual version numbers for both of your phones, we should be able to provide some more information.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks Dave and sorry for the delay but I wanted to wait until both phones had been updated to see if they became in sync. Alas.... anyway the version numbers are:....
Mine
Kernel version: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
Software: 1.21.405.2
Wife
Kernel version: 2.6.29-54b7033a
Build: 1.21.110.4 CL175581 release-keys
Software: 1.21.110.4
Can you shed any light on the disparity? Also if is as you think, that my wife's is locked to TMobile - could you point me in the right direction of a tool/instruction to unbrand it - the same as mine. I have had a quick look and it all seems more convuluted than with my old Winmo device.
Thanks again.

Hey, yeah the difference in build numbers - Precisely ".405" and ".110" show that they are different un/branded handsets - You will either need to root or use a goldcard to unlock the T-Mo handset.
Goldcard: Link
Rooting: I think there's a thread in the dev section of the Desire forum

i try many root tools still not work. I wait almost 1hr still loading.
Have you installed Visionary and attempted to temproot? If so, what happened? What other tools are you talking about? What is still loading after 1 hr? Are you stuck in a bootloop? If so, have you removed the battery and tried to reboot again?
Have you searched the forum for instructions? I was under the impression that there was an absolute wealth of info here...
You'll need to provide a bit more info, mate.

the bottom one seems to be the most popular
UPDATE: 26 OCT 2011:
Just used the bottom method on my friends DHD running 2.50.707.4, worked like a charm (so easy), just follow the manual and you should have no issues what so ever ... got the latest version with built in Goldcard (link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352)
Then flashed Capy's latest 3.1 Runny, now the DHD has a new lease of life
Great work and thanks to all (for the developers of the Ace Hack kit, and capy for providing us the awesome roms)

A few resources via my sig might help.
Hi all
I realise that you get this...a lot...but I am seeing a lot of conflicting information. I am not completely new to rooting and have just received a Desire Z for my girlfriend from Vodafone DE.
I want to root and change Roms and, essentially, give her the same great experience that I had on my old Desire with CM7.
I initially saw the Visionary info, then Rage...most of them say to downgrade, some say not...etc.
I am looking for the best method to root (Preferably with S-OFF)
Code:

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
If you go to the wiki and follow the guide for the Htc Vision you should be ok, I see you are on version 1.34 so you should be able to root without downgrading

Superb, thanks - I will give that a try
