hi all
here goes my first post have desire hd from 3 mobile in november am looking to root phone have read the forum guides just one question how do i know if my phone is branded or unbranded any help would be great full.have got ginger bread installed atm did it through ruu on these forums.
thanks clembo
Download from the market cid getter it will show you what cid do you have. Unbranded HTC_001 3 uk H3G_001
if you installed that gingerbread from here, you are now unbranded.
the previously three branded phone that i have, had a three boot screen when first switched on that took forever to load. it had my3, planet3, bejeweled demo and a few other three added apps that couldn't be removed. if you didn't see any of that crap before the GB update... you was also unbranded then
hi thanks for the replys @ dhd1802 when i ordered the phone from three they said it would come straight from them manufacturer i think.
@ kluzik1 thanks will try that
thanks clembo

Hi,
Iv been searching the forum and cannot find info on the above or its scattered all over. Just thought Id make a new Thread so those of whom have played with their Desire from Orange and T-mobile can feedback on the carriers roms.
I am an existing Tmobile customer and was thinking of going to Orange this time round however im not sure who to take.
This may also be helpful to those who are a bit wary or dont want to flash the original stock Rom..
So People plz update with your findings on the Network Roms placed on your phones.
thanks
Orange is apparently badly branded, the handset also carries the orange logo.
T-mobile is virtually unbranded apart from a T-Mobile startup animation and the internet icon changed. No branding on the handset itself.
I have a desire from Virgin mobile, it has a Virgin logo on startup, and came with a desktop shortcut to the virgin mobile site which I deleted. No other branding though.
no branding on orange if you get the nadset from carphone warehouse

Hmmm. I bought an unlocked and supposedly unbranded Desire from clove.co.uk and that has the original Desire startup logo HOWEVER does have a Virgin Media desktop shortcut. :/
orange branding can be removed by flashing the HTC generic ROM, and that also allows you to update when HTC release updates and no need to wait for orange to do that.
Is there an actual way to tell if it's generic apart from visually? Firmware version etc?

Yes. If it is firmware version 1.15.405.3 or 1.15.405.4 it is generic.

Yep, unbranded from CPW.
Bloke brought mine out the storeroom before he knew what carrier I was on.

Thanks! Mine is 1.15.405.4 so that would mean Generic? Yet it has a Virgin Media shortcut/homepage. No matter I guess, it works fine.
Bought mine from CPW on Vodafone. No branding and unlocked. Firmware version 1.15.405.4.
It also updated the software OTA so now shows Android 2.1 - update 1
Got mine on contract from Vodafone. No branding, but not latest software.
Firmware Version : 2.1-update1
Software : 1.15.161.4
Orange Desire
Any confirm that you can simply download htc rom for desire and replace orange one easily? Desire is fantastic phone Orange have messed up stuff by putting games and apps on I just don't want, where they have put Gtalk I don't know, the service is running but the app is no where to be found.
Just been on the HTC website and I can't find the HTC Desire anywhere??
am I going blind... is it just me??
Was looking for an official desire ROM to get rid of this Orange crap that's been dumped on my new shiny toy!

that is the latest FW for Vodafone devices - 1.15.xxx.4 is the latest (1.15.405.4 is the generic unbranded, sim-free Desire)

It's not on there but someone put it in ROM development (1.15.405.3) and you should be able to get the OTA afterwards

I think GTalk has been renamed to just Talk.

It just doesn't exist on the orange Desire and the other rubbish they put on is infuriating,
I am, awaiting response from Orange and HTC on this.
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
Sent from my HTC Desire
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
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
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.
Vodafone replaced my unbranded One x for a branded One x when it went it for repair (screen had stopped responding)
I have a few questions
1. Due to my new cid being 'VODAP001' I believe I won't be able to flash Jelly Bean/Sense roms for now? will this always be the case?
2. If I can is there any video tutorials?

1. Yes, for the time being you have to wait for JB update.
1a. Hopefully, it won't last forever.
Welcome to the club, mate.
Sick of vodafone doing this, they did it with the sensation/desire HD as well but thankfully we had S-OFF on those two.
Hi,
I'm new to all this so excuse my ignorance:
I've a HTC one x from carphone warehouse with a 3 sim and assume its not carrier locked the (CID is HTC_001 if that helps?) however I've still not got the update.

Thanks in advance

3 network, UK
I'm got a Vodafone HoX and got my JB update about December 11 (once I'd relocked my bootloader etc.) - my GF (also a Vodafone set), got the 4.2 update a couple of days later (I'd rooted and such so didn't get this one, and can't see much improvement with anything).
A work colleague however, is on the 3 network and STILL has no news regarding the OTA :silly:
I'll have to check what CID he has to add to the list.

Nothing to try, the company itself admits the update isn't out yet and 'may take some time'
