No Stock ROM...Help!!! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I have an issue. I want to install LeeDrOiD but before I do I want to find the stock ROM for my phone. I have a UK Three network phone and I'm having trouble trying to find a stock ROM incase my phone decides to screw up during the install of the custom ROM.
Can someone help me? I've had an issue in the past when I didn't download a stock ROM for my G1 and now it's eternally screwed.

I'd imagine it's one of these......

It's not on there. That's why I asked for help.

Are you sure your phone is branded, does it show you carriers logo on boot etc.?

Just do a nandbackup.

It was given to me by a Three Network engineer after I asked for a new phone. As far as I know it's a three phone. It comes with the three software onboard.
I'll probably do a nandbackup.
Thanks.

You do not need a backup / the stock rom because the 2.3.3 RUU should be accepted in case of warranty (at least HTC accepts it).

im on three uk also here. yours would be one of these if you was in froyo:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph..._32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124822.exe
or this
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...8.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_149217_signed.exe
if you upgraded 2.3.3 than just get it from the HTC website

Even when you your, they still can see you rooted...so no warrenty, sorry

I think your only option is to try a generic ROM because that removes the root, the only thing is that it won't have the Orange mod.
If the process works then you should be able to re-root the phone and have everything working again anyway

If I flashed the orange rom it would remove the root.

Just immerse it in water if its insured lol. Have another then

How about flashing an old generic unrooted rom and see if you get offered an OTA update by orange?
Biker, what's wrong with the phone itself? Is there physical damage something?
Sorry mate you can't find the Orange Rom any place I have the same problem

Mine went in after I debranded to the stock ROM and I wasn't charged as it was a hardware fault. You could try your luck with it.

Branded devices to get froyo! - How to

Hi I have a Branded Desire from T-Mobile and I need some help. I have been reading the forums but I am still confused.
I want to get the update Froyo onto my phone.
What do I need to do? Do I need to root it? Or flash it? Or just unlock it?
Thank you for your help

Debrand it to a stock ROM and do OTA updates. Use the goldcard when doing updates though just to be safe (made during debrand process)

Guys, i'm not an Android newbie but never flashed ROM's etc - could I have a bit of help pls?
I've got a Vodafone ROM, going to debrand my Desire, using a Goldcard and then install the generic 2.1 sense ROM and then request OTA update. Got that whole process figured out etc
What I want to do is backup everything first. I'm not rooted and i'm going to use the 30 day trial of mybackup to backup data. I want to backup my apps too if possible - am i right in thinking Astro have a program to go this?
Will it all be fine to do backups to my SD first, create a goldcard on another SD, flash the other sense ROM, then update to froyo and then finally take out the goldcard, put the other SD back in and restore everything?
Any help would be appreciated pls!
After debranding you can sign in to the android market and download the apps again from the downloads option.

Debranding is flashing the phone to a stock ROM which doesn't have any network branding. It doesn't unlock the phone to use on other networks. If your phone is locked to a network you could always buy a code from eBay to unlock it.

Yes it should work. I use a WWE ROM as it has more languages and apps available for it. It also worked just fine for me on the OTA update.

Usually caused by dodgy goldcard

After you debrand, do you get any updates from your carrier that could mess it up, or do you just get them from HTC directly?

Hi
When I tried H3G uk its saying ur phone ready to use but screen not working when i tried WWE(world wide english), it stated the customer id prob, install correct RUU.
You need a gold card for a non-3 UK RUU - sounds ike you have an SLCD screen and flashed an AMOLED RUU, hence the black screen
Out of interest, if you run available 3uk ruu and check for updates, won't it update it for you? Mine was 3uk before root and custom ROM, so might need this info at some point. Thanks

[edit]Ignore this post. Thought serialtoon had this version instead of wanting this version[/edit]
I don't think it is a retail One X purchased in China. 1.26.401.2 is generic European version IIRC. You don't need to do anything with it. You're fine just using that version and should get updates before any of the carrier branded versions.
I've included the version of the ROM I'm on right now.

Ahh. I thought you were on that version now. Sorry. Misunderstood what you were asking.
At the moment, all you can do is unlock the bootloader at htcdev and flash a custom firmware. You can't apply an official HTC firmware or change the baseband firmware as the bootloader is still in S-ON mode.
Once/if somebody does work out how to put the bootloader in S-OFF mode then you can alter the CID and reflash it with an official US or European One X firmware.

[Q] Need 2.17 3 UK RUU

I desparately need the 2.17 H3G (Three UK) RUU to restore my HOX from a bootloop. If anyone could help they would be a lifesaver.
You only need the RUU if you want to go back to stock.
If you want to fix your bootloop, you need to fastboot flash the latest recovery, fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot erase cache, and then in recovery clear caches and wipe partitions, flash the ROM.

Pretty sure a google won't go a miss... I had a link but I really can't get it because I'm on my phone, it's out there but the site I got it off accidently named it wrong. They called it 1.29 and we all know that three didn't release the 1.29 update... So... It has to be 2.17 because all the other versions are there including 1.28 and 1.26.
