Anyone know if there is a way to debrand a CDMA Desire? The only RUU at Shipped-ROMs for Bravo-C is the alltel one, no HTC. Please help!
Because cdma phones are linked to one provider I don't think there is an unbranded version available

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
Shipped-roms.com
Search there

There is also an ruu thread on the development section. You might be lucky

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.
Post here if your provider has not updated the OTA Software version of your phone, and htcdev has also not added an RUU for your given region.
Simple layout :
----------
Model:
HTC Wildfire S A510x
Phone software version:
2.3.3
Provider:
Telstra
Place of origin:
Australia
----------
If its the same as above for you, post anyway, numbers might count for something.

With a goldcard, couldn't you flash your phone with the European 2.3.5 RUU ?
I don't know if it's possible. I'm just asking.

Euro RUU in Australia?....good luck receiving calls and messages...wrong network framework.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510x using XDA App
Model: HTC Wildfire S A510e
Phone software version: 2.3.3
Provider: Unbranded
Place of origin: Cambodia, though I suspect that it's a Singapore model phone
My ROM is Marvel HTC Asia WWE 1.35.707.3. They just released China so I'm hoping they'll release the generic Asia ROM very soon. I'd do Eu 2.3.5 but I don't want to upgrade ROMs twice.
So I'm still locked and unrooted
UPDATE:
I finally got through the HBOOT update using the tip at [HBOOT] HBOOT update for EU users who's having problem with RUU. Now I can proceed to finish the process at htcdev.com.

Maybe the radio files are the same for these countries. Australia uses the same GSM frequencies as European (900-1800Mhz).
For European, the radio version is 7.53.39.03M or 7.46.35.08. What's yours ?
Again, I'm just asking.
7.46.35.08, but system uses the 3g network wich is out of that range. Telstra configered the init scripts for there phones.

Are you sure about that ? It's strange the radio version is the same. :-/
Maybe I'm wrong.
Another idea : what if you only update the HBOOT to 1.08.0099 to be able to unlock it (with PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216.exe) ?
Don't know if it can work with your phone though.

If so, maybe the matching updater can be applied on your device.
There is an other thread for the same problem : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432400

you lost me t-mobile usa has 2.3.5 it got ota on the 1\4\2012
why would I want to update to a europe rom then none of my stuff work work?
am i wrong
htc has not released RUU for TMO USA I just want to know if there is a work around untill they do
Interestingly, same situation as OP however I paid Telstra the $20 and got it unlocked. I've successfully flashed the EU ROM and it works perfectly fine on a New Zealand 3G Network and NZ and AU both have the same GSM frequencies and such. I tried updating with the RUU on htcdev for HTC UK but I get 191 not supported for obvious reasons in which the hardware ID comes back as A510b instead of A510e like the Euro WFS. I tried flashing the bootloader and radio directly with the PG76IMG.zip method but it doesn't update the bootloader, only the radio. I'm guessing it's for same reason's as the RUU method not working with incompatible identifiers on low levels so it seems that we really do have no choice but to wait for Telstra to get off their lazy ass' and update so that HTC can do their part. This may take a while.......
I loooked this over and I dont understand
How do I unlock my bootloader with this

I also have the A510b but have a Thai model. Flashed it successfully with the Euro Rom before and now getting the same error message as you when I want to unlock it. I do see HTC THAI as supported by HTCDEV unlock tool but wonder if the Euro Rom maybe prevents it from getting the Thai firmware OTA.
I might have to do a downgrade and then see if I can get the newer Thai firmware.
Europe shouldn't really work though?
The only difference between an A510b and an A510e is that the first has support for 850mhz (3G) and the latter one 900mhz (3G).
It might be that the radio file for Euro RUU has support for both bands?
Wish I had one of those versions...
Anyway....Bump.

Which version you have?
I have the A510b version, model no: PG7612000
I think it would be a good idea to list all the models and versions and list which one is unlockable and which not.

Whenever I try to use the unlock bootloader (htcdev.com) he told me I had to install the latest version 2.14.161.1.
But I have a newer version, my software number is 2.26.161.1 and even if I search for new updates, I only get the message that my version is already up to date.
I hope someone has an idea. I use a HTC Wildfire S A510e.
Android version: 2.3.5
Just proceed to Step 1............your bootloader is unlockable
I had a similar question and went direct to HTC for an answer. Here's what they said:
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC Wildfire S.
My name is Jonathan and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.
I understand that you are looking to unlock the bootloader on your device.
I am sorry but the ROM that is available via our site is for devices on the previous software version and as such is not compatible with your phone. We are working to make further device and software version compatible, but it takes time to produce the relevant ROM for each device.
I would advise that you keep an eye on the HTC Dev site for when the correct ROM will be available so that you are able to unlock the bootloader.

I am running a Wildfire S A510e using Android 2.3.5 and software number 2.26.771.2. The HTC answer was very annoying as I have so much bloatware crap I want removed from my handset and, at the moment, I can't.

Hi Guys,
I bought a new HTC one V CDMA ( Virgin Mobile) recently.
I have a set of questions, please answer them.
I wanted to know the difference between the Virgin mobile version and the other listed PrimoC version.?
I am seeing many custom roms listed for the PrimoC version? ...
What will happen if i flash them on to my Virgin Mobile phone...
Also i want to activate the phone on Reliance CDMA india , if you have a procedure to do it let me know.
Whats the default SPC of the phone ? . whats the procedure to change the SPC if required.
PrimoC is CDMA, PrimoU is GSM, Virgin Mobile's HTC One V is CDMA so you want PrimoC Roms not PrimoU.
