[Q] Official Swisscom ROM - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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

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.

debranding UK O2 Desire.

Hi
My desire has firmware : 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
I'm debating debranding it and putting the latest generic rom on it.
The reason for this is I'm moving from the UK to NZ, but would like to get the 2.2 firmware upgrade.
From what I've read, debranding will allow me to upgrade when I'm out of the UK.
Is this safe to do ? I don't want to brick my new phone !!
Can you advise how I would do this or if there is any other option for me !!
Many Thanks
Hi sorry to pick this one up as not answered but I am in exactly this position.
Bought a Desire from o2 in UK and moved to New Zealand.
VF NZ sim works straight out the box,
but will I be able to 2.2 this phone? My sw is 1.20.207.3.
Obviously dont need any o2 features on this phone as I wont be using their network?
Cheers from both.
Debrand using a ROM and guide, both can be found on this forum. I used a WWE ROM and it worked for me without any issues. You should then get any OTA updates as soon as they're released in your region.
Hope this helps.

Desire from HK with european ROM?

Hello.
I got my Desire in HK but did not think of having an Asian ROM on it.
Can I just flash a European ROM on it or will I run into problems?
I found a page with stock ROMS in the forum (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667) - which one should I use?
I would also like to change to an European ROM on my Desire from Asia. Is it possible to use one of the offical ROMS?
I just successfully flashed a WWE ROM and haven't run into any problems as of now.
I used one of the official ones available on xda. However I used a goldcard even though my device was unbranded.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Which ROM did you use? I am not so much into this, so what is a goldcard?
Did you have to set the phone up once again or did the settings survive? How about the installed apps?
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
This is the ROM I used. You can find it in the post you shared above. The second WWE ROM.
Preparing a Goldcard is a relatively easy process and you can find tutorials and in the android development section of the forum.
My settings didn't survive. As far as I know there is no complete backup solution for unrooted phones.

I guess I then will just wait for the next release - no point in spending hours to flash the same firmware version with no other benefits.

[Q] From where are system updates downloaded

Hi folks,
I have Desire HD branded from Tmobile Germany (CID is TMOB101), and I'd like to know, from where it downloading system updates? From HTC (official ROM), or from Tmobile (customized ROM, because of CID value)?
When I unpacked new phone and turn it on, it offered me an update to 2.2.1. From where it download the software update?
And when I was trying to flash an official ROM from HTC (from xdafil.es, WWE version), it stop ad the wrong device ID (or something similar). It has because the CID value?
Yes you have a branded CID so can only apply tmob updates and ruu's, if you eng s-off your device you will get superCID and can apply any uodate or rom

And can be downloaded that operator customized RUU's (Tmobile) somewhere?
I have searching on tmobile.de website, but found nothing. Or is somwhere on the net information about this customized updates?
Google shipped roms, maybe they have it

Great site, thanks.
There is some Desire HD (Ace) ROMs, but not customized. Maybe they add them in time

I tried to download the RUU and run it but unfortunately i got an error messasge
ERROR(131): CID ERROR

RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed
You're using the wrong ruu. Was your phone branded when you bought it?
You need to run the right, branded ruu (or a gold card, but because you want to send it in, that's not an option).

You are using the wrong ruu. Find out fitting ruu with the name of your provider in the ruu's name:

No warranty for any damage!
CID error means goldcard needed.

Thanks for replying...
1st if all,how to identify the HTC is from where?? Regional?? Thru p/n ??
I got this HTC from frenz as present...then i didn't check the original version.I just rooted it.
At the back..I can't find local distributor sticker?? Suspect overseas set
Wat is goldcard?? Sorry for all these question..I'm too noob on this...the root also get help from fren help out
Assuming that you have an unbranded Desire, try to run this RUU:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Its on >>Shipped Roms<< , 7th from top.
Dont use a gold card - it allows you to flash a unbranded rom on a branded handset, but because you want to send it in for warranty, you shouldn't do this.
Thanz Tillus,
I was downlading the RUU file and test later.. hope it workss..
How did it go?

Dear Tilus,
Sorry bro, i havent try yet.. i just able to download the RUU Rom.
My fren help me to check my HTC Desire thru S/N, found out this set is from British... it is under EUROPE ??
Chances are that 2.29.405.5 RUU will work fine then
Does anyone her know the BRITISH using what Telcom company??
What do you mean? In the UK we have:
T-Mobile
3
o2
Vodafone
Orange
do fastboot oem boot then post your cid of the phone then we will know your branding and so can direct you to the correct ruu
Thanz guy...it work..I send in for local checking,motherboard problem..need to replace...too expensive..
I have trade in n get HTC desire HD.....

[Q] Super CID / Using a different RUU

Hi,
I have a chance to swap my sensation for my wife's one X which will be arriving in the next few days. It will be a UK Vodafone branded One X.
I do not want all the carrier rubbish, I know I could flash ARHD (which I currently use on my sensation and love) but due to some ridiculous rules coming into force at work we will only be allowed to use unrooted phones on official roms.
Is there anyway I can flash the HTC rom "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe" so I do not have all the vodafone rescue apps and rubbish like that.
Thanks Andi

Unfortunately not. Without root, you are stuck with the official vodafone rom and rely on vodafone for updates. Until s-off (if this ever happens) super cid will not be possible so permanant debranding is also a no go.
Thanks for the reply, I guess it is worth flashing arhd then and will worry about the rules when I am caught up with )
In my eyes mikes rom's are more secure as they have less rubbish (i will practice saying that)
Thanks
