have have done hundreds of searches on here and using google and cant find people using the nex-techwireless desire. im just wondering who has one and what roms are able to be used on this phone, or compatible radio's.
Well there is a thread called everything desire index and you can look in there. Its in the Android Dev forum.

i looked there, nothing was said about this nex-techwireless desire, and all the radios's listed there are gsm as of right now this phone is on stock 2.1 but rooted with unrevoked, baseband version is 2.05.10.08.11 with build/software number 1.28.557.4.
but a quick question im ok to flash any cdma rom correct? even if its meant for uscc or w/e you guys refer to it, i will just need to do some apn, and settings editing to get everything working?

After a year of playing with the Hero i am now on the desire from Cellular South. i have rooted using unrEVOked and got Soff using unrEvked forever tool. im not a big fan of the CM6 and AOSP roms from the hero so i figure i wouldn't be very interested here as well so i have decided to just run my stock 2.1 rom. plus (unless i have read them wrong) most come with radio and im not really comfortable playing around with that setting.
Here are my questions.
1) i would like to use a custom kernal but it seems everything i have ran across is for GSM or have i overlooked it somehow? i cant get wireless tethering to work without it.
2) i have found a2sd already but before i go to it i want to get rid of some of this "junk" Csouth has installed. what programs can i safely remove with adb without causing problems.
3) if there are any roms that are "tweaked" 2.1 stock for the cdma could somebody be so kind as to point me to it as i cant seem to find one.
Thanks for any help y'all can offer.
Trying to find a stock, unrooted 2.1 or 2.2 image for a US Cellular CDMA Desire, for warranty. I have been lookin for a couple days and have yet to find. Found several links on the xda forums but they were for rooted or nonstock images.
Didn't find one other than verizon's on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Search function on the forums has not been workin for me as well, always get a temp. unavailable error, so please no search flames..
Thanks for any help here
You can get the stock 2.2 ruu off the USCC web site

Yep sure is, installed and works great (for stock). No issues no glitches, thanks for getting me in the right direction.
I would like to find a stock 2.1 to downgrade my Desire with to get it rooted. Anyone got one of those? I have found stuff, but none of it will work with the CDMA version.

you don't need to downgrade to root. Use unrevoked.
Unrevoked will not work on 2.2 CDMA Desire unless it was already rooted on 2.1 before 2.2 was installed

Yep, that's why I am looking for a way to get back to 2.1. I would do it the gold card way, but it seems to only work on non-cdma phones for the desire.

Anyone find a stock USCC 2.1 ruu yet?
I upgraded to 2.2 and would like to go back to 2.1 but can't find anyway to do so yet.
Alltel has 2.1 RUU, you could try it )

Yeah I saw that but haven't heard about anyone actually trying it on a USCC phone and what the effects are.
Thanks though
I picked up a Desire yesterday to try to start work on it also. I've been doing dev work on the Mesmerize since it came out and also for the Showcase (Cellular South).
Not that you guys probably care, but I'm a USCC Engineer and have access that has helped me out a lot to get the Mesmerize to where it's at today (of course with lots of help from other devs on the Fascinate side as well as the new guys with me). Unfortunately, things aren't as plentiful in the HTC firmware bin or I would have brought a 2.1 RUU over here a long time ago. On the Samsung side, if a customer brought a phone in to the store and had jacked it up, the in store tech had a stock image of the 2.1 firmware that he/she could flash back on the phone and it would be restored to it's factory state and the customer would be sent on their way. With the Desire, this doesn't seem to be the case. There was no factory image to flash to, so phones were swapped and sent in for repair.
I'm sure that the guys from unrevoked will probably figure this out before I even come close, but I just wanted to pop in and say hey and let you know that you have a friend on the inside (probably not the only one) that's working on things also. Feel free to hit me up. I'm always available for questions, comments, and suggestions.
ok so ive been with android a while now but am new to the g2
just looking around the threads i havent found a good answer yet.
so what is the best radio/hboot for a tmobile branded g2
where i live i have always gotten great reception with tmobile across any devices
but i had my g2 for a day before i rooted it and i noticed a 4g symbol??
did a little research i guess that isnt 4g but im still looking for an answer.
tried a few roms, on miui.us now, something else tomorrow...
hboot-0.76.200
microp-0425
radio-26.02.01.15_m2
emmc-boot

im guessing there is better?
thanks in advance
You can check out this link:

And look for one you'd like to use. All radio's for the HTC Vision (g2/Desire Z) are on that page.
I have the same hboot and I'm using the .19 radio. Seems the best for me, been through a few and every once in awhile I get flashy and try others just to come back to that radio. It has the best reception and battery life combo for me.

There is no overall "best" radio because there are too many factors involved in terms of radio performance (e.g. geography, how you use your phone, etc). So it's trial and error. Try one of the latest radios from that thread for a week or so, see how you get on, then you can flash a different one and compare.
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
thanks everyone for the tips, i downloaded all the radios from the thread i was linked to with plans on trying out all or most of them over the months to find my preference. couple quick questions
it was recommended to match the lib-ril files to the radio i am using (doing it in a couple days to test the difference) but i only found the files needed for the latest radio (26.13.04.19) for the other radios where can i find these files?
also is there any benefit (or even an option) to use a different spl/hboot? or so long as i have an engineering hboot they all are the same as in no added benefits?
There's a thread about a useful tool to match the RILs for you, I will edit in a link if I can find it.
Edit - I see you found it already lol. But if you want the RILs to match with other radios, you will have to extract them from whatever stock ROM came with those radios. I don't know if someone has done this already, to make it easier ?
As for hboot then no, the main difference is eng hboot vs stock, the eng version giving you a few more options.
The only other issue is sometimes people flash the DZ hboot onto a G2, because the two phones have different stock partitioning (via hboot). This is typically an issue when flashing a Sense-based ROM onto a G2, since that has a slightly smaller system partition (so the ROM won't fit).
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
yeah kinda what i thought. are there any options on custom mtd partitions? not that im too crazy over sense but this way if it ever became an issue i do a few small edits before flashing a sense rom. either way thanks for the tips
oh an yeah someone gave me a link to the auto patcher for the lib files, i didnt even think to look there for i was planing on manually moving them anyway, but yes they are all placed in there but thanks for digging for me anyhow!
ok so a co-worker of mine has a Desire (CDMA nTelos) and one of his other friends tried to root it and flash custom roms. his phone works but very poorly. i need some one to point me in the right direction as to what i can flash and some info on what hboot is. i dont have a lot of time with the phone so trial and error is not a option for me. his phone is rooted and has clockwork mod and Hboot 1.06. i see lots of different roms with radios and dont want to flash the wrong one. i would like to flash the most fully updated and working rom i can.
i have lg g2x rooted running CM9 but his phone seems very different in methods used
thanks.
There are only a limited number of roms here for CDMA Desire. I think LeeDroid is one of them. Check the development section there's a pinned roms directory there. Good luck.
via xda app
Go here, then to CDMA section, there you have a few fine roms for CDMA. Plus search a little bit through the rest of the roms, a few if them are for GSM+CDMA.

Hey all, this may have been asked before but I did a search and couldn't find a thread quite like it!
I am currently running Android 2.3.3 and HTC Sense 2.1 on my HTC Desire S. I have used the Revolutionary method to S-OFF and root the phone, which allowed me to uninstall branded bloatware and add some interesting apps.
I have not been able to update the phone as quite frankly I have no idea what I'm doing, and the OTA update will brick the phone. Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to get the latest version of Android and HTC Sense?
I'm in the UK on the Three network. After doing an extensive search for the specific RUU matching that, I can't seem to find it unfortunately.
Many thanks for your time.

Well this is the desire section, not desire s. Post here for better halp.
Also its probably better to flash a custom rom, since you have already s-offed and i assume you have installed a custom recovery.
Check the desire s developement section for a rom you like and flash it.
Ah, my apologies, I didn't see a Desire S forum when I looked. I'll follow your advice!
