Hello all,
I'm new to both the forum and Android so please excuse me if this is a stupid question.
I have a HTC Desire Z (Vision) on Vodafone in the UK. Before I consider rooting the device (if I did it would only be to allow me a full backup option) I wondered if anybody knows where I can get the stock unrooted Vodafone rom so that it can be returned to it's original state if need-be?
From what I have been told (and please correct me if I'm wrong), once the device is rooted, a new unmolested rom is required to unroot the device. I have looked high and low on the net but can't find the Vodafone ROM for the Z (The HD and the Desire seem to be findable but not the Z!!).
Thanks ever so much for your help,
Dav
i am also interested in the stock vodafone rom
couldn t find it in the web
and to make a backup from my installed stock rom i need root,
which a only get if i downgrade my rom to a stock without branding .....
It will be practically impossible to get from another User because that stock ROM will only be in the hands of the manufacturers/carriers. This is because users can't NANDroid backup the same way us rooted users do. Anyways, I don't see the manufacturers releasing them any time soon..
hmm .. that means that there is no chance restoring the branded rom for warrenty
(after rooting the device) ???
Is there a vodafone ROM? I have vodafone branded. but there's no sign of any difference between this and the stock HTC ROM.
i have a vodafone boot animation...
and the version number is different from the original htc desire z rom..

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
Hi,
I'm admitting a certain amount of Noobness here, but can anyone give me clear, comprehensive instructions on putting my HTC Desire back to a Stock ROM so I can install the official Vodafone Android 2.2 update when it comes out?
I rooted to Neophyte 1.6 which is great, but I want to know how to return to an offical Vodafone ROM to bypass any future warranty issues.
I am struggling to find a download link to the Vodafone UK stock ROM and instructions to unroot. Any links/info out there?
I think this might help a few people out...
Cheers in advance
Ok I found what I was looking for about 5 seconds after I clicked send!

and
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe
Anyone know how to do this with Vodafone Spain? I cannot see the valid shipped rom.
Hello everyone,
I've decided to purchase a brand HTC Desire (based Android 2.1), and I've got couple of questions.
- How hard is it to upgrade to Android 2.2 (Officialy) ?
- Why do I need to root my device and why the other ROMs considered better than HTC's default ?
- What is radio upgrade ?
- What are the risks of rooting & upgrading it ?
I know its a lot of question, but it will give me a closer about buying it.
Thanks a lot
1. If you buy an EU Desire chances are it will already be on 2.2 (unless 2nd hand)
2. Rooting allows you to install custom ROMs with the bloatware that the stock ROM comes with removed so you can have it with just the apps you want on it
3. Radio update is what tells Android how to communicate with the hardware
4. Rooting WILL invalidate your warranty but if you have a generic Desire you can flash it back to stock easily
Hi,
I have a chance to swap my sensation for my wife's one X which will be arriving in the next few days. It will be a UK Vodafone branded One X.
I do not want all the carrier rubbish, I know I could flash ARHD (which I currently use on my sensation and love) but due to some ridiculous rules coming into force at work we will only be allowed to use unrooted phones on official roms.
Is there anyway I can flash the HTC rom "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe" so I do not have all the vodafone rescue apps and rubbish like that.
Thanks Andi

Unfortunately not. Without root, you are stuck with the official vodafone rom and rely on vodafone for updates. Until s-off (if this ever happens) super cid will not be possible so permanant debranding is also a no go.
Thanks for the reply, I guess it is worth flashing arhd then and will worry about the rules when I am caught up with )
In my eyes mikes rom's are more secure as they have less rubbish (i will practice saying that)
Thanks
Hi guys,
I've got a HTC Desire 816 single SIM dutch (nl) a5_ul version running CM11 smoothly.
Only drawback is i can't use 4G with this ROM. I've searched for a 4G capable radio but i couldn't find it anywhere. My guess is that there isn't one available but please correct me if I'm wrong.
That's why i wanted to revert back to stock HTC ROM. I've tried the one posted by jacktackle in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2768846 but i couldn't get it to work on my phone.
Does any of you know how to install the RUU mentioned above or perhaps does someone have a backup of the stock HTC rom NL region that i can use to revert back to standard software?
My CID is e_11.
Thanks a bunch!
