[Q] What's the significance of Software number? - HTC Wildfire S

My phone is:-
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Software number 1.34.110.3
The HTC EU ROM is 2.13.401.2
What are the differences between these and is it worth trying to upgrade?
Thanks
S-ON
Unlocked
Rooted

That later HTC EU ROM is based on Android 2.3.5. The most obvious difference when you run it is a new "ring" lock screen, but otherwise it will pretty much look the same. Supposedly it should include some bug fixes. If you search, you will find some people saying that they are finding it "better", but I guess your mileage may vary.
When looking into this for a friend's phone, I didn't see anyone saying the later verson was "worse".

[Q] Telus Desire

I have alot of respect for Communities such as this, but gotta say the information for the Desire seems to be all over the map. I'm have a little trouble navigating to find info I need.
I have just recieved a new Telus Desire. Pretty sure it is the SLCD version as I see no mention of AMOLED on the packaging.
Firmware version 2.1 update1
Baseband 32.41.00.32u_4.08.00.09
Kernel 2.6.29-e5576724
build 1.29.661.1
Would like to root and get Froyo installed. Seems to be lots of discussion on what works and what doesn't depending on if you have a UK version, an AMOLED version etc. I have no problems reading, but if someone can point me to the information that applies to my specific phone would probably leave me with alot less questions than if I start building my knowledge for rooting around an AMOLED UK version of the Desire that's not even going to work with my handset...........so help?
hey ive got the telus htc desire and have it rooted to leedroid rom. the guide i used is in the desire android development subsection. the guide is called: [TUT] Telus Desire HBoot 0.83 Root and Flash
worked flawlessly for me.
Thanks very much - I will start there. can you confirm your hboot was .83.0001 or just .83?
its hboot .83.0001

[Q] Asian Android 2.1 to Europe Android 2.2

Hello everyone!
I've been for hours and hours searching this forum for a solution to my problem and i've found lot's of information but now I don't really know what's the best way to do it. I'm very newbie on this. Here is my situation:
I have just bough and A8181 HTC Desire Asian Version with this Specs:
-In the box it doesn't say AMOLED, so I think my desire has a SLCD screen
-The HBOOT version is 0.83
-Android 2.1 update1
-My Software number is 1.19.707.7
-My keyboard always have an annoying buttom to insert asian letters (Obviously that's because the Desire is an Asian Version)
What I want to know is just the best (and easiest) way to have an Official European FroYo 2.2 ROM instead of this asian 2.1.
So, how do I do this? UnrEVOked? Goldcard? What's the best ROM for my case?
Thank you all very much!
I just checked system update in my Desire Asian version, update to froyo is available now. I'm still downloading. Maybe it's Official Asian Froyo 2.2 ROM
Nice Information.
Jangunawan,
My Desire haven't received the update yet.
Have anyone with stock Asian Desire and software 1.19.707.7 received it?
Even with the update I still want very much to know how to flash my desire with an Eurpean ROM. So, do someone know the answer to my first post?
Thank you all

Sense 3 update (missed?)

Hi,
I have searched the Forum and so far not found a definitive answer. I have only just got my phone secondhand and I know that there is supposed to be an automatic update to sense 3 and gingerbread. However, I think my phone has been switched off for the last few weeks. Therefore, I was wondering if I have missed the update or has it still not been released in the UK. My phone was locked to T-Mobile, but has been unlocked and is now on Tesco (O2). I have checked the update option in the settings and it says that my phone is up to date, but I have read that this can also give a false reading. I will probably root my phone at some later date, but don't want to just yet, but would obviously like to run the latest official software. Any advice as to whether I have missed the update or not and what to do if I have would be very welcome.
Many thanks
Ian
The Sense 3.5 Update is not officialy released for the HTC Desire HD. It's only ported to the desire hd by custom roms.
(Don't shoot me if i'm wrong)
Cheersss
He / she was referring to the Sense 3 OTA update, not 3.5, from HTC. The last time I checked myself I was told there were no updates but if you look in the Desire HD development forum there is a post about a clean (ie no tweaks or customisation) and flashable file.
The desire hd does not recieve the sense 3 update because of the single core processor and as it is not a new phone. You can only get it through custom firmwares

[Q] Return Desire HD back to Australian Three stock ROM

Hello all,
I've absolutely loved my Desire HD running Android Revolution but I've just been offered a free upgrade to a better handset. And I need to get it back to stock as soon as possible for warranty purposes. However I neither backed up the ROM nor took down any particulars. So any help you might have concerning the required settings, ROM and radio would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
PV.
What you need to do is find the Three RUU for your handset, this is probably the quickest and easiest way to return the phone to stock. If you get the Super S-off tool then you will be able to go back to s-on. (unless this was done by the RUU)
The other thing to bear ni mind is that if your RUU installer says that the upgrade is not for your phone then you may need to change the CID from the super CID to Three AU CID.
Good luke
Thanks! Does anyone here have a link to the stock ROM? I'm looking at this one right now but it seems older:
Ace_Hutchison-Three-Network_AU_1.32.861.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M_Clockwork-BACKUP.7z

Good news for HTC Desire HD users with the roll out of Android 2.3.3 ‘Gingerbread’ by HTC from today with a staggered release across all users over the next couple weeks.
This means, over the next couple of weeks you’ll get a notification on your smartphone to update to the newer software. So don’t worry if you don’t get the update today.
Details of the release
ROM version: 2.37.178.8 (Vodafone) & 2.37.861.8 (Hutchison)
Radio Version: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2

[Q] advice rooting dhd running 2.3.5 and vodafone uk

I'll apologies now if this has been answered but I have not found it.
Im wanting to root my DHD but am confused with all the different options and upgrade this and downgrade that etc. I've read post saying downgrade the radio, install RUU etc but really don’t know what, why or when I need each bit. Below are the versions etc of what im running.
Android 2.3.5
sense 3.0
software 3.13.161.3
kernel 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
baseband 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
build 3.13.161.3 CL208029
Which tool is best and how do I know if I need to downgrade, S-OFF (ENG S-OFF) etc
I have seen a post from someone on 2.3.5 and they were told to install RUU
sorry if its all same old but there are some many people say to do it all different ways im confused
Thanks
EDIT: reason for this is poor battery life and was told stock HTC would help or even a none HTC to remove sense would make it loads better. True or not I don't know
