Hi, when my phone starts up it says in red text: 'test only not for resale'
I have tried flashing a new radio and rom but it doesn't go away.
How can I fix this?

Which ROM are u using???
I'm no ROM cooker myself, but I had this problem also. Many cooked ROMs will not change that first screen but some DO. I don't want to be construed as advocating one ROM as better than another as they have different advantages and disadvantages, but you could try this one at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=484646 Even if you find that its not suitable for you, (since you have now got rid of the annoying test announcement) you can add any of the other ROMs (except of course the one that got you the notice in the first place).
I have used Dutty's, Nataly, and UDK but it still shows that as the phone starts up when it displays HTC before the numbers come at the bottom.
As I mentioned these and other ROMs do not alter the intro screen but a few do. Try the one I mentioned in my first reply. I think this one DID change the screen for me. Changing the radio won't make a difference.
Ah I see thanks!
the "technical" term for the introscreen is splashscreen. there are some utilities and RUU's around that let you change only the splashscreen. I'm sure that when you Search for it, you will find something usefull in a minute...
SUCCES!
I had this problem with a Touch i bought from E-Bay, i got a phone call off the police about 4 months later asking where i had bought the phone from, they said aload of them got stolen from a T-Mobile warehouse. Didnt want to take my phone though, very nice of them
Dont know how to get rid of the start up messsage though sorry
Has anyone managed to get this working on an HD?
I have even gone back to get a fresh copy of the trial version, but no dice. Can anyone confirm if it is just flat out not compatible?
Thanks
also tried , didnt work
Same here, but can't get it working.
So did I. Seems to be non compatible... If anyone knowd how to get it going ...
doesnt work for either ........ darn sad
The following Microsoft thread suggests that it is an incompatibility with the vga/wvga resolutions, and that a new version is being worked on.

We'll have to wait and see if it really happens.
I bought a HTC Desire branded to Orange UK trough eBay when i was working there last month. The First thing i did was to debrand it using the 1.15.405.2 that i found on MoDaCa, and i bought a unlock key on eBay. This solution worked pretty well until the OTA update showed up, the i got the known WiFi issue. That was no biggie either, just installed the RUU of the 1.21.405.2 and the new Radio, and everything seemed to be perfect again
BUT THEN, two days ago, my phone suddenly lost it's connection to the my mobile operator . I tried to swap my sim card with another sim card, and the result was that my HTC Desire wouldn't get connection while my sim card worked well in the other phone. I also browsed trough my menus to try to find something that might be wrong, but no luck. If i tried to connect to my mobile operator manually, i got a message saying something like "SIM-card doesn't allow connection to this network".
Yesterday morning, i called HTC to try to find out if this might be a hw or sw malfunction, and he advertised me to do a factory settings restore and felt pretty confident that it only was the sw letting me down. I did as he suggested and boom, it worked...for about 5-6 hours, then it came back. As if that wasn't annoying enough, a factory settings restore didn't do the trick this time, and neither did a reflash with the goldcard. I even formated my mSD to be sure there wasn't any kind of virus on it.
So please, if anyone in here got a tip regarding sw, let me know. I'm helpless without my dear phone...
Hmmm this is my biggest concern... I'm just about to buy an ebay Orange Desire and flash it with a stock ROM and unlock it.... kinda worrying as I'm no Linux man really...
im not sure if its the same thing but i have lost conection to t mobile on my desire twice now. first time was fixed by re entering the apn. this time no change. the differance is mine is un branded. i also cant do mms any more.
Unbranded and debranded, same ****, isn't it? Niter means branded...
Seems like i'm not the only one with this problem: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/5...nt-re-connect/page__view__findpost__p__405655
Lots of Vodafone users in that forum has similar issues, but most of them seems to have a workaround by turn off the back on, or go by airplane mode to get signal back, tat doesn't work for me. I tried to flash my phone once more, but still no luck.
I'm considering a root operation and install android 2.2 aka froyo, but i'm not even sure if that is possible since i got the bootloader version 0.80...
ive just got mine working again by resting the apns to default.
mms still not working though. i hope its not a voda problem i just paid off t mobile a years contract to join voda due to terrible reception and crap tech support.
what is that, and how do you do it? I would guess that a reset to factory default and/or a complete reflash would take care of such, whatever it is...
Yep I was about to ask the same thing! what is it and how do you turn it on/off?
go to settings - wirless & networks - mobile networks - access point names - then press the menu key and hit reset to default.
hope this helps you
That did the same thing as a "reset to factory defaults", but still doesn't work
I've an unbranded unlocked desire on 3 UK with original firmware and mine does drop out occasionally but always comes back perhaps its a desire quirk !

Suppose so, but unlike you and many others, mine doesn't come back I was hoping for a fix for this issue, but i'm afraid were talking about hw malfunction, let's hope i'm wrong...
Little update, just followed this guide, but that didn't change anything. As far as i know, i now got some kind of rooted version of HBOOT 0.75 and fw.ver. 1.15.405.4, dunno about radio version. But it also says that i'm not able to install a custom rom with this rooted version, but i might be able to completely root it now and then install a custom rom?
Yet another update, i did install the 2.2 Froyo following this guide, and unlike the HTC roms, this one indicates that i do have full/optimal connection to my mobile operator, but it still won't let me call, just replies with 'Mobile network not available'.
I kinda courages me to scream out loud ****!!! Yes, i mean it...
Feedback would be nice
Just a thought, may i be that the guy i bought the phone from could have reported it as stolen with the intention of getting an insurance fee? And as a result of that, my phone have been closed by the operator? Don't even know if they mind doing such across the border. So the question would be: Is there any way to find out if my phone has been remotely closed?
Call your carrier.... they will be able to tell you if the phone is connecting to the nextwork correctly... ask them if not... why not?
I second that suggestion, try calling your carrier. Also I have found that switching the internet on directly through settings rather than using the widgets solved my connection problem.

Yep, i got contact with the seller from eBay, and he is very helpful, so he will do what he can while i will call my carrier first thing in the morning. Seems like there might be a glitch here, but i'll keep you updated on my progress.
argh, it seems like i wont get anywhere with my phone. I'm considering trying to change the IMEI, i know it's illegal, but i paid £360 for this device, and atm it's useless to me. If i only knew how tho change the imei, not exactly easy information to obtain, not even with google...

So have you found out why your having problems?
ah, sorry, thought i already told u guys, lol. Well, for some reason the phone is IMEI locked. The seller says that he did call to lock a sim card when he lost his iphone, and it might be related since it's the sim that was suppose to be in my phone. however, i think he either claimed the phone stolen to commit insurance fraud, or it's simply stolen. Another thing i came across was that the operator might blacklist the phone if it's unlocked without their blessing, don't really know if they can do that.
Either way, the only way for me to make this phone work is to convince the police that it's not stolen (i need a recite for that which he won't provide me), or to change the imei code with my "awesome" hacking skills...
Hay there,
a week a go i rooted my phone with the r5 root using the guide at theunlockr.
now it seems that i have som difficulties with calling and people calling me ( might be sms also)
Sometimes when i call someone it goes for around a sec ( cant even hear the *biiiip* sound.) and then the phone spits out a tiny *pip* just like someone is hanging up on you. I know that the person doesnt hang up. ive tested it with 2 phones.
other times it says that the number i am calling is not in use.
does anyone else have the same problems ?
How can i totally reset my phone to default ? Will there be a warranty problem if i send it in ? since software change is in the picture.
if you guys needs more info just ask

You've posted in the wrong sub forum. Go HERE and you should get the help you need. As far as i can work out if you go to the thread in there with the Generic official roms (Its one of the stickied threads) and pick the one your phone came with and use that it will put it back to as it came and unrooted, and so should be good for warranty.
One other thing. Are you sure its not a network or sim card problem problem?

Hello all
I am from toronto, canada and i have purchased a nexus and its awesome. I rooted, unlocked and my phone was on yakjuux.Because i didnt understand how to make it to yanju i did a couple of experiments with the easiest root kit from WugFresh(that kit is very good and A THANK YOU to the people who make it is not enough).
Anyway, i have some questions for you people because i dont know much about how tthe android system works and how the carriers work too.
Q: I unrooted my phone cause its not necessary for me to be rooted.If i leave my bootloader unlocked will it cause any kinds of problems or its ok to be unlocked??
Q2:I dont have a data plan on my phone but 10 min ago i found that i have access to internet without wifi and my APN is all set ed up. Do i pay or its free internet ?
(i called my carrier and they said to me that i dont have any data plan.
Thanks to everybody and you r all brilliant minds for working on android.
Badtazz
Welcome fellow GN user.
Q1 - it is fine, you should not experience anything different. better to do it now than later, since unlocking the bootloader wipes everything.
Q2 - i guess you are lucky. just look at your statement, just in case you got charged
thanks for your quick reply
btw i changed to yanju and got the update within minutes
I just discovered another problem unfortunately, i tried to set up face unlock and the set up process is working flawlessly but when i lock the screen it show me nothing and then it reboots by it self.
i think its my fault because i messed up with something i didnt know (rooting, unlocking) if somebody knows something please advise me what to do
Thanks again to all
r u talking about a black box when you try to unlock the phone?
if that is it, a lot of people have had this. i do not know where the thread is
yeah this is it and then it reboot i have the alogcat file and its saying something about facelock android access denied.
solved
face unlock solved for now..i deleted some apps that i didnt wanted and its solved ics is playing weird games
