Hi folks, Hope I'm posting in the right section.
I had a Vodaphone branded HD, Installed the official OTA update to 2.3.3.
Then decided that I wanted to root my phone & remove all the branding.
Downgraded using: [GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6
Then followed [TOOL][VIDEO] One click Radio S-OFF, SimUnlock (Easy Root & S-OFF Guide) to Radio S-OFF the phone.
I then flashed the RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 RRU.
Applied Gingerbreak.
Everything has gone well, Apart from the syncing of mail accounts. Every other part of sync works.
All the settings are correct, I've reapplied them a few times. 3 IMAP accounts have been applied (I have not tried POP). Even factory reset a couple of times too.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is this a bug in 2.36.405.8?
I have searched around & could only see a few references to it on the Coredroid website.
Any help/fix would be appreciated.

Which mail app are you trying (Gmail or the HTC Mail app)?
Is this a M$ Exchange set-up? If so which version?
Thanks Mr_JMM. I should have made it clearer.
I'm using the HTC Mail App. No it's not exchange.
The 3 accounts all worked before I upgraded to 2.3.3.
POP is working for me
OK here's the story now, It looks like it doesn't like more than 1 IMAP account. I changed 2 over top POP. It works fine now.
Still like to know why more than 1 IMAP account fails sync.
Update
Back to not working again, No mail since my last post.

Is that with multiple accounts?
I have setup in HTC Mail, 1 IMAP & 2 POP accounts.
I found I had the same problem with the HTC email app when I upgraded to a Gingerbread ROM.
The only way I was able to resolve the issue was to delete all five accounts then manually add each account (three IMAP gmail, two POP hotmail) again.
Syncing has worked since then (although I would like to be able to set the actual time of my 'once a day' sync). You mention you've re-applied settings so don't know if this will be of any assistance. Hope so.

Why do you want to go back? There's no benefit in doing so and T-Mobile don't need it back to 'how you got it' if you're returning it to them. So long as its on their FW they'd be fine
I want to go back so i can recieve the T Mobile Andriod 2.2 over the air update
you won't get it from being on 1.15...their sequential, you need 1.15 to 1.21 and 1.21 to get 2.2...I think it's been pulled at the moment though due to it having German apps
I thought it might be why i'm not recieving the 2.2 update. I have just rang T-Mobile and they said they will push it out to me. They release it according to when your phone was manufactured and said it could take up to a week from today, so will see what happens.
Before T Mobile released 2.2 (couldn't wait because they were taking too long! I rooted and went onto the...
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
I was then able to save apps to the SD card but i lost my Wi-Fi just kept saying Wi-Fi error.
So i downgraded and went back to...
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed
But have yet to recieve the T Mobile 2.2 update, which will now hopefully be this week sometime so hopefully i can save to sd card again and still have wi-fi working
Yea eddyos is right they might have pulled it. Try taking your simcard out and changing the date and going to settings about phone then check for software updates and see if that works. If not I'm sure there will be a manual ota update somewhere.

There's every chance the update is on the HTC server, someone could run that linux script that checks the server for updates (possibly - I don't know where it is on here)
Sorry for the long post guys, but just want to let you know all the facts so that you can advice me. I bought my HTC Desire from Dubai recently. The phone is new, never rooted, unbranded. The details are as follows
Andriod version 2.2
Baseband version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version 2.6.32.15-gd96fc0 htc-kernel at and18-2 # 1
Build number 2.32.415.3 cl283905 release-keys
Software number 2.32.415.3
Browser webkit 3.1
Only when I started using it, I got to know it’s the Arabic version and there is a software called Al-Moazin which sends out a prayer call at various times of the day. (Very helpful to Muslims I’m sure, but I’m not a Muslim, wears down the bat and suddenly goes off during meetings ). Tried everything (forced stop – it auto restarts, software uninstallers, startup blockers etc) but could not uninstall it.
Took it to the store I bought it from, they have no clue, recommended a factory reset, which did not work.
Reading up on all the help you guys had given others in this forum, got to know that I need to get a stock RUU (WWE) since this software is bundled in the ROM. Downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed, (I prefer to go Stock since I’m still new to this and not yet brave enough for custom ROMs) created a goldcard (to be safe) got as far as the Bootloader version Error (140). Based on your advice, I got to know that this due to my existing ROM build being 2.32 and I’m trying to flash 2.29 (lower version, could not find anything higher than that) hence wont work…
My question is, is there any other option there for me to get a stock RUU (WWE) froyo, or do it need to wait until Gingerbread gets released and you guys post a stock RUU for that… or is there a safe way to get the source of this problem Al-Moazin uninstalled?
Thanks a lot for your help people, all the old posts helped a bunch.
checkout post 5 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
you can use adb commands to remove applications from roms, but, according to the tut, you need to be rooted.
all you will need to find out is tha apps name - might be as simple as Al-Moazin.apk. and you can simply delete that app without having to worry about replacing the entire rom.
another option for you to consider anyway.
My unlocked T-Mobile Desire is running Android 2.1. Is it possible to manually upgrade it to 2.2 or 2.3 without rooting it? I prefer to have a ROM that is as similar to the original HTC version as possible. Can anyone point me to a downloadable file? What data/settings will I lose when I upgrade if any? Can/Should I upgrade the radio? Thanks!

You just find a ROM which matches your phone (your area) from this page .

How come you're recommending an Asian version (I'm in Europe)? Shouldn't I look for a TMO version? Do the ROMs on the page you mentioned include Sense? Will I need to unlock my phone again after upgrading? Thanks

You can't upgrade the radio or recovery by yourself before you rooting you device. So , If you like the offical ROM so much, what you need to do is to find the lasted RUU.
Radio (recovery ,ect) will be uploaded at the same time.

You don't need to root your device. RUU is the offical ROM update utility.

My English isn't good enough to tell you how to figure out which ROM matches your phone... I hope someone else can help you, sorry...
Thanks for trying your best to explain - I appreciate. I hope someone else will be able to guide me.
Do you know if I will lose any data when I upgrade? I am concerned about Emails, SMS Messages, contact list and installed apps mostly.
Go to info about about your phone (in options) and post your exact Version-Number.
you can't flash this RUU just like that. You phone is branded, I suppose, so when you try to flash that RUU you'll get a cid-error. You can only flash T-Mobile ROMs and if you aren't offered an update when trying via the ota channel, there probably is no newer T-Mobile-Rom.
You can either wait for T-Mobile to release a newer RUU or unbrand it. Unbranding means you need to create a "goldcard" (use forum-search how to do this) and with this goldcard pluged in, you can flash the WWE-RUU that Keeray posted earlier.

2. Can I use any ROM that contains 'RUU', 'Bravo', 'WWE' and 'Froyo' in the filename?
3. What's the best way to take backups of: Emails, SMS Messages, contact list and installed apps?

Yes

I think so, as long as your Goldcard is installed. The Softwarenumber must be x.xx.405.x

I use Titanium Backup Pro and SMS Backup and both served my needs well.

May I ask, do you have a Gmail account? Have you ever logged in through your Gmail App? If your answers are yes, you don't need to concern about your gmails and contact list, they will be restore from the Gmail's server.
SMS must be lost if you don't do any backups.
Why don't you backup all your dates before your upgrade? You can use the offical software to backup.

According to the Baseband Version of your phone, you may try this
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
It's the lastest version I can find. Remember to backup.
Have fun and good luck!
I used Mybackup Pro and installed the ROM recommended by Keeray. All seems to be working well. A big thanks to all of you!
You are welcome~!
Hi all,
I love this forum as it's got so much useful info so have just joined as I'm a little unsure of a few things and would really appreciate any help/advice.
Firstly, the big question, can I downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 on a T-Mobile UK branded device without risking losing the warranty (only got the phone in March - just in case any hardware defects as I had the camera break a month after I got the phone!). I have read numerous guides and they seem to be associated with rooting and what confuses me is the stock roms I'm finding are for 1.14 not 2.1?
The reason is because (there may be an answer to this somewhere but have searched loads and can't find it) the Webkit browser on 2.2 seems to constantly crash. I didn't have the issue on 2.1 and have had the phone repaired twice, the issue occurs straight after a factory reset and is definitely an issue with 2.2 on T-Mobile UK branded firmware at least. T-Mobile UK assured me it was fixed but it certainly isn't as it crashed twice (just disappeared) within 5 minutes of browsing and later in the evening came up with the 'force close' error when browsing.
I loved using the stock provided browser over Opera/Skyfire etc and it was fine on 2.1...
So I am wondering whether T-Mobile UK have just bodged the firmware and whether rooting/debranding would give me a very stable version of webkit?
I had this with my first Wildfire after upgrading in December 2010, after two repairs they couldn't fix it so swapped for a new phone in March. The new phone was fine on 2.1 and this issue occurred again straight after the OTA update of 2.2 last night.
I'm really hoping someone can help with the above?
Many thanks in advance
1.14 is the ROM version number, and, is actually Android 2.1. But, you will not be able to downgrade without root. (Atleast easily).
If you wish to take the complex way out to downgrading to 2.1 without rooting and stuff, you can refer this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921752
Excellent, many thanks 3xeno. I'll have a go at that. I am tempted to try unbranded 2.2 firmware as by the sounds of it the browser crashing issue might be specific to T-Mobile UK. I can't find other people reporting this issue anywhere and its happened to me with two phones, after 2 repairs with ota updates twice and after multiple factory resets.
Do you use webkit and get any crashes at all? I've tried other browsers but prefer the webkit one when it works, would be great if it played flash content like YouTube etc but I'll do some more research on that...
try dolphin browser HD(has many add-on's) or opera Mobile ,these are the best in the line & opera min for more data saving efficiency
Thanks all, I am having a lot of trouble with the SuperOneClick part though.
I have S-ON on boot and the boot loader that ends in 001 does that affect the ability of SuperOneClick to do Temp Root?
All I get is:

It just says the last part for ages and never seems to go any further...
Do I need to do S-OFF using Unrevoke or similar?
It shouldn't, since the procedure was performed on an official Froyo release on HBoot 1.01.0001. BTW, You have to press 'Shell Root', not 'Temp Root'. Further make sure USB Debugging and all is on, as the author states.
Hi 3xeno,
I can confirm debugging is on and it is Shell Root I am trying but it just seems to stick on that last stage for ages.
I have the goldcard in, does that matter?
I have also tried unmounting the SD Card as mentioned on another thread?
It shouldn't matter. But, I think this should help you out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16634853&postcount=139
If you check the 2 posts above it, the user was experiencing similar problems as yours. So, I believe that solution should help.
(That guide is to downgrade to a WWE (Non Branded ROM) with HBoot 1.01.0001, and the 1st step is essentially the same as what you are attempting to do - Downgrade Misc Partition and flash an 'older' ROM)
Good Luck
Thanks 3xeno, I ended up doing the revolutionary thing in those steps and it says S-OFF now with Revolutionary at the top.
I was then able to use a stock RUU and install 2.1 on the phone but it looks different in that the clock widget and icons on the main screen weren't there? It's supposed to be the T-Mobile UK v2.1 firmware I thought?
I thought I might as well use unrEVOKed to root it anyway but I wondered if it was possible to revert it back to the way it was using the factory RUU if I needed any warranty repairs? Would reverting back then change the bootloader screen or is that permanently changed by Revolutionary?

Revolutionary introduces a new userspace issue. It can be fixed by flashing this (Needs Clockworkmod, I hope you had selected Yes to installing Clockworkmod to Revolutionary) -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156713
To change your bootloader from the Revolutionary one, you will need the HBoot.nb0 file from your TMobile Eclair RUU. Once you obtain that, you will need to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160251
So, essentially, once you perform this, you are back to factory stock, on a T-Mobile 2.1 ROM. (Essentially summing up my first post, its far easier to root and downgrade. )
Oh, and dont touch Unrevoked. Its not needed at all.
Many thanks 3xeno, really appreciate your help and such quick responses
I actually ended up with root (I think) as the super user icon is in there and I was able to do a nandroid backup on bootup.
Nice to be back to 2.1 though, I might leave it how it is at the moment and keep this info in mind to revert if needed for a warranty claim (fingers crossed it won't be a screen fault!).
One thing I'm really pleased about so far is that it doesn't seem to sync up immediately with my google account and fill my people list with a load of random e-mail addresses which is something I didn't like before.
So far so good, I'll have some fun playing with root now...
Thanks again
Cheers mate.
BTW, You can go to People > Menu Key > View > Check 'Only show Contacts with Phone Numbers'. It may not have synced immediately, but, it will, sooner or later.
EDIT: Did you flash the Sense Fix? If not, then, HTC Setup Wizard (The startup guide which greets you first thing when you boot up after a factory reset) will not work, implying that your Google Account is not setup on the phone. (Or, you'll have to do it manually.) Probably, that's why, its not syncing.
Hello this is my first post as i usually find everything i need.
(i admit I have not read all of the posts with similar questions but they all seem to have happened from rooting or similar)
The wifes desire's battery went flat today as it does. When she changed it for the spare (oe battery) it will not boot past the htc screen.
I can get to the hboot menu but when i try to enter recovery it just gets stuck at the htc screen again.
I will try the pb99img.zip thing soon but i guess that will wipe all her setting and contacts etc.. (I had not got round to backing them up anywhere.) Is there a way to get them beforehand?
I have a clockwork root with cyanogen on my desire is it possible to extract the necessary rom from the nand dump to use as pb99img?

usually contacts are backed up in Gmail with android, so check that.. Also all you need to do is run a RUU, make sure you have the right one for your network provider OR you have a goldcard.
Thaks for the reply
I've just checked and the calendar appears to be there but no Contacts so i guess its not backed up
Is there a way to access that on the phone?
also does it matter which RUU i use as long as it from my provider? (e.g I don't have to match the original rom and radio?) I could get the newest availible?
Update the calendar that was synced to google was well out of date so i guess it must've stopped syncing around June - July.
is there any way of getting into the phones memory without actually booting up completely?
(A friends PC had a recovery feature that just replaced os leaving all setting etc intact is there a way to maybe slim down a rom to do that?)

The RUU you use must be either the same age/ software as your phone or newer.
As fair as I know there isn't a way to get any data from your phone, specially considering you're not rooted or S-OFF
