Hello,
I want to root my Phone and unbrand it. At the moment I have a T-Mobile DE Branding with Android 2.2 (Froyo) Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27.
My question is, can I flash the t-mobile rom again in case of warranty?
And where can I download this specific rom file?
I dont find it in the sticky thread in the Development section or can I flash a older version?
I hope you understand what I mean.
Greetings, Strece
I think you should be ok if you just flash one of the T-Mo Uk RUUs that can be found in the sticky.
The only T-Mobile UK RUU is for AMOLED-screen Desires. If you've just got you phone it'll be SCLD so it won't work
The mobile phone was bought on the 03.07.10 and then exchanged because of a defect over again on the 20.07.10 for a new one.
How can I check which display type I have?
Greetings, Strece

Look at the box ?

I will look on the box when I finish working ^^, but I got a new one without a new box, so the specifications from the box is for the old phone, not for the new one.

As far as I know, PVT-4 devices don't say on the box whether they are slcd or amoled. So, it's hit or miss.
AFAIK all PVT4 Desires are SLCD as the PVT4 variant came after the switch to SLCD
Actually, I am quite sure that pvt4's are both slcd and amoled. I bought a desire 2 months ago with a friend of mine, both are pvt4. Mine is slcd and his is amoled. Both just said TFT touchscreens on the box.

How have you found out which display the mobile phone has?
On my box stand AMOLED, but I got a new one without box, so the box infos are not really correct.
EDIT: I have a PVT3 SHIP S-ON Desire

Once you have both phones side by side you can see the difference immediately. Especially on the whites. Amoled has a blueish tint, and slcd has yellowish. Slcd is much sharper though.
Unfortunately though, you cannot tell one screen from the other unless you have both of them in front of you.
Ok the firendly HTC Support Hotline has told me the manufactury date 26.03.2010 with AMOLED Displays.
So with an AMOLED Display I can flash an older TMO Rom for rebranding?
You can tell by looking at the blacks. The AMOLED will have a MUCH darker black..will blend right to the edge. Or you can put a single drop of water on the screen where there is a dark colour next to a lighter area. If it's AMOLED, you should see small pink sub-pixel "teeth". You have to look closely though.

Thx, when I put a drop of water on the screen, I see this pink sub-pixels at the edge of the drop.
So I think I must have an AMOLED Screen, so with this I have no problem with flashing old T-Mobile Roms?

Typical of HTC, they release a public name and non-public name, just like "Touch Pro2" .. and "Rhodium" they are the same
same goes for the desire i guess "Desire" and "Bravo" ... same
Inseparable!
I love the colour and style of the graphite HTC Desire. Under the light it shines and appears to be in different colours.
Mine came from Mobile Phones Direct, ordered last Wednesday and got it Thursday and have been inseparable from it ever since.... Is that sad??
hi

what does it say on the box?
would need to check when in the office tomrrow, but is it really that simple?
not all the time, but in my case it says on the box 3.7-inch AMOLED touch sensitive screen, you could also try the "black screen test" copy a black wallpaper to your device, look at the image in full screen in a dark room, if you see any light bleading from the screen, chances are its slcd
If it's brand new, and on Orange I'm pretty sure it'll be SLCD like mine is.
No mention on the box at all, its the Orange box so its just generic Orange stuff

I it does not say Amoled then is SLCD, check if it says 3.7 inch touchsense or something like that then is SLCD.
But as said before if on the specs there is no AMOLED then is SLCD

It's not that simple. It could be AMOLED as well.

If you download the Android SDK you can use adb shell to enter the following command:
dmesg | grep blank
If it says Samsung OLED then its AMOLED. Or Sony TFT is SLCD.
Hi
Just got me a refurbished Desire from 3 for a very decent price, so I never got the original box which means I have no way of knowing what type of screen I have
It has Android version 2.2 is that scone or custard slice? haha, so can I asume it will have a SLCD screen
also why does it have a purple tinge, I read that somewhere else and hoped mine wouldnt be like that, will need a cover that goes over the whole phone to be honest cos its not good for my street cred having a purple phone, haha
on the hunt for a decent theme to use, the live screens are great but will get bored of them sooner or later, ive seen some that change the look of all the icons, how do I get one of them installed?
any links for the push software so i can get an alert from facebook
thanks for your help

Easiest way to confirm what screen you have is turrn on your camera in a pitch black room. If its amoled the screen will stay pitch black on your phone, if its slcd you will easily notice any sort of light bleeding around the edge of the screen. I think I'm right in saying that?

There is no superAMOLED in HTC Desire. AFAIK that is a Samsung-exclusive feature.

hello guys. I just bought a pre owned one v, sadly It has some yellow spots on the screen. But its still under warranty. My question is, Can I use the reciept as proof of purchase with previous owner's name to claim warranty? All of the package is with me. Same IMEI with everything.
thank you in advance!
yup go ahead
Yeah

Go On. Hope you get a good one..!

So even you've been a victim to those nasty glue spots... Mostly, all One Vs manufactured in April 2012 have yellow spots.... even I have a very little yellow part which is seen when I increase the brightness to its fullest and the room is completely dark ('cause its reallly a small one)..
Did you buy it from FlipKart.Com? I read about someone who got his One V replaced twice but yellow spots are there in all One Vs he got..
Looks like HTC is least bothered about this phone.. They didn't even make it proper!
Hope you get a good replacement..:fingers-crossed: Are the spots too big?
Hi,
I bought HTC One M8 last night and the first thing I noticed is the red color in the display! It is over-saturated. This problem lead to wrong skin tone in photos.
How can I fix this? I bought the phone because the screen is LCD and it should render correct colors for the end user.
Is it an original htc?
Maybe the screen is broken, or try some apps to adjust it.

Was it new from HTC or a carrier store? was it used? was it a refurbished?
Its entirely possible that it could have been repaired with an uncalibrated screen or something like that.
I bought it from a dealer like Best Buy in the USA. It is a new device.
I will pass to the dealer and double check the test model in the store.

iirc This phone, the M7 and a few of the HTC EVO line had some instances of this happening at first - and clears up after the first few days. Maybe do some searching here or Google?
I did my homework two days ago. I found users complained about the red color saturation in HTC Evo but no one mentioned the screen will be OK within couple of days. I will give it a week.
