Hi guys I have a HTC wildfire, and when I got it, it was locked to Orange (UK) and
thought I would root it, I followed a full guide here on XDA and I used HBoot x.2 to x.1 downgrade then rooted with revolutionary and it has successfully been rooted with ClockworkMod Recovery v.2.5.0.1 and with any rom I flash, it will say "NO service" requesting a sim unlock code at lockscreen unlock.
I REPEAT ORANGE (THE ORIGINAL CARRIER) does not give me a signal.
Does anyone know whats wrong?
Do I need a newer radio?
I went to some market stools with people that have the XTC clip to unlock phones and they needed to find out the original carrier, I told them 'Orange' they said they can't do it because every sim card they tried, they couldn't get a signal so they couldn't modify it.
Thank you.
Try to Reflash the Radio.

Yeah, most probably going to need a radio reflash... check out the complete wildfire index (stickied on the wildfire development forum) to find a list of radios.. try them all one at a time, and one should work!
Good luck!

Yeah, update: I flashed a Rom that came with a radio update but it was the same radio so I guess reflashing was the solution lol, thanks

Hello Guys,
I am an android nOob who is really stuck I have read so many different forums I am still not sure what step I am missing out, if you have the time could someone give me a step by step guide please. I have a 3UK desire software No 1.22.771.1. this is branded and locked to three. I have made the gold card and also rooted using unrevoked but instead of using clockworkmod I have used recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.img, rooting has worked as I have superuser permissions this is where I am now stuck what is the next move I have tried using gernic HTC RUU to de-brand so the software version is 1.21 instead of 1.22 but this always fails stating wrong RUU I have hit the wall boys I dont know what the next step is I would like to use Leedroid's ROM on my desire.
Any help please I would be very grateful.
I think you can just flash a custom firmware. Won't the RUU updates remove root access etc?

Don't know Phil this is where I am stuck I don't know what the next step is!!

I am now running 2.2 I was making it much harder then what it was!!
So long as you are routed I would download Rom manager from market and then use that to download a Rom and flash with a full wipe, so simple real it is
Good luck
Oh check out miui Rom if you real want to be impressed

Hi there, I've got the exact same software version, 1.22.771.1, have already rooted using unrevoked, if I just load a custom rom now is it likely to work? My desire is 3 branded but I've unlocked it and am using a Vodafone SIM.
Thanks,

Hi, I have an Desire HD from telus, It was rooted, s-off, then hboot-off to get fastboot commands, I flashed CWM 3.0 then CM7 and finally reinstalled the proper radio via fast boot.
However I seem to have no sound at all, not in the earpiece during calls or the back speaker.
Did I kill the phone?

When you say you reinstalled the proper radio via fastboot... could you explain precisely what you mean? Usually HTC Androids of different hardware bands can still all use the same radio firmware.
When I downgraded it changed the radio so I put the telus one back on.

is it on max?
Yup it was at max, I ended up getting it replaced, I'm gonna hold out on rooting it and stuff until people find out why the telus version is having these problems.

How did you locate the Telus radio to put it back on? To my knowledge there is no such radio easily available on the forums. Are you saying you made a backup of the radio and restored it later? Please clarify exactly how you did this and be as specific as possible. I have a gut feeling this is how you broke it.
Same thing Happened to me. bought a Desire HD this morning from telus, Rooted , S-Off and super-CID...
now theres no sound at all
Got it off the forum

Return to stick and get it exchanged at TELUS.
We should have a warning for this before more people start rooting.

Okay now I see what you mean. There's a thread.
Question: When you say you tried flashing back to stock, did you use the Telus Ace RUU that is posted on the forums?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932771
And your sound still didn't come back?
No I didn't, I already got it replaced and haven't tried again. But it seems like more people are back.g the problem.

I would also try flashing the TELUS ruu as recommended above.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
And let us know if that fixes it =)
If I am not mistaken, the route:
Downgrade -> Radio S-OFF -> Telus RUU
should lead you to almost back where you started from but now with S-OFF. If everything is functional at that point, perhaps you could permroot from there and put in the custom recovery. Then try flashing custom ROMs and hopefully the sound won't go away.
Ya, but still would be nice to know the root of the problem.

I wonder if there is a specific sound component in this phone that is just different hardware from the Euro/Asian versions, and the older firmwares (maybe in radio, maybe in HBOOT?) don't have a driver for it.
On the non-HD Desire there was an issue where if you try to downgrade to an Eclair firmware meant for an AMOLED phone and you have SLCD, you end up with no display. I am reminded of that. The quickest solutions were to upgrade back using the RUU with the right hardware support.
Thankfully it's easier to find your way around a no-sound phone than a no-screen phone!
Ya that does sound easier then the original one.
Where is the TELUS ruu?

Hey folks,
is it somehow possible to downgrade the radio to an older one without wiping or resetting the whole phone via RUU?
I just tried to flash an older one over the current radio image and it doesn't seem to work
Why do I want to downgrade anyways?
My phone crashs all the time. Especially when it's connected to the original charger from HTC (1000mA) and I try to use an app. Or when I use several apps at the same time, when not charging.
It could be the hardware-failure, everybody is talking about lately...
BUT I found out that everything is fine with the performance and stability of the phone, when I am using it in airplane-mode.
Everything was fine a few month backs, when I was using some older radios and ROMs.
The crashs seem to be somehow connected to mobile data usage (2g/3g). I've heard that some radios might be "better" in some regions as others. I'm from Germany, so maybe this is causing the instabilities.
I thought it is worth a try, before complaining hat HTC
Starting situation:
rooted AMOLED Desire (HBOOT 0.80.000 + S-ON)
AmonRa Recovery v2.0.1
Redux v1.1.1
vorkKernel 2.6.37.2 (CFS, SVS)
Radio 32.54.00.32_5.14.05.17
Thank you guys
You need to use the radio zips from recovery when you are s-on.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Most likely to be hardware failure. Send it to HTC for motherboard change. Search for desire overheating and rebooting on its own in the forums and see if symptoms match. Had mine replaced

have done that, but it doesn't affect any downgrade.
How have you exactly done it? And you sure you didn't get any errors in recovery?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Downloaded old radio from the thread here on xda
copied to SD
booted into AmonRa Recovery
flashed the zip directly from sd
no erros, flashing susscessful (something like that displayed)
selected "reboot phone"
As always the normale procedure...
except that this time the ROM was booted after leaving the recovery, instead of the regularly shown "radio-installation-box-logo"...

The phone is running since two days straight without any crash and exceptional battery life, heavy usage...the only downside...mobile data is deactivated.
Does nobody know how to downgrade the radio?
Thanks.
Actually after trying the senventh Radio (no ****!) I succeeded
The only downgrade was possible with the "32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2" radio.
And since then my phone is running stable again! Amazing

I'm due my upgrade in a few days and am selling my beloved desire to one of those mobile flashback sites and wanted to know if I should unroot it as I have s-off and rcmix Rom installed. On these site they only really state that itmys full switch on.
What's your thoughts?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'd unroot it personally
And probably load Froyo on it too
@Eddy: Sold your Desire, have you?
If I was you I'd unroot it. Leaving on a custom ROM just means there's something for the cashback website to moan about (and possibly not accept).
Unroot. It's not like it takes long to do it.
thanks folks.
issue i have is that my desire is a branded t-mobile uk device and i rooted using unrevoked and every time i have tried to create a goldcard it hasn't worked.
is there any other way to unroot branded devices?

Search for the threads on Goldcard. See my thread on "How to unbrick the Desire". It has a good Goldcard FAQ
Just got confirmation from fonebank. They accepted the phone even though it had root and s-off

Most of them won't notice, I sent my 1st rooted, s-off DHD back in, but I'm American, and AT&T doesn't know anything about development. but the ACE hack tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821) can easily reset your DHD to stock, just press "o" ... simple eh?
If I helped you, please hit thanks!

Click on the filefactory link in the first post. These are the newest available RUU.
From your location tag, since ur from UK, the RUU roms available from the link above are only for Three_UK, TMobile_UK and Orange_UK.
As a reminder rooting and downgrading after the repairs from these RUU will require a goldcard, the warranty repair center will upgrade your rom anyway to the newest version anyways as per their procedure.
The ACE Hack tool return to stock above only works for for AT&T, Telus and WWE CID HTC__001.
Forgot to mention my dhd is unbranded I've read the advanced kit but its quite hard to understand :/ can anyone help me with a breakdown of what I'm supposed to do?? The user above who said just press 'o' what does that mean?
