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)
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

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.

Thank you for the help.
When you say debrand ... what is that? Rooting? or Unlocking? Sorry for the noobness!

Is there a reliable guide to debrand my Desire. Mine is also Vodafone locked:
HBOOT-0.80.0000
I don't know how to find my rom version. I really would like froyo soon, thanks!

Hi mine is branded to 02 only with the splash screen and unlocked, I found a Stock rom called
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
If i put this on and then checked for updates would this allow me to update to Froyo 2.2????
Any help would be greatfulllllllllllllll

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.

Did you use the HTC sync app on windows to transfer the new rom, and did it go smooth??????

Tried both roms europe and wwe and kept getting error 131 customer id error any advice

I'm going down the de branding root now. I'm on a branded t-mobile desire in the UK.
Already created my goldcard, currently downloading RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
Has anyone got any newbie tips that i should be aware of.
Hopefully should be able to download the froyo OTA then.

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?

Stock HTC Desire

How do I unroot, restore default ROM, restore default hboot and go back to S-ON. Basically 100% stock since I need to send my phone back to the provider due to hardware issues. Many thanks.

Download and run the latest ruu. Check the Desire Index thread.

Actually, you need to download the latest RUU for YOUR Desire. Did you make a note of it before flashing a new ROM?

You can find everything in this thread

so flashing the ruu restores default hboot and S-ON?

Yes it does

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

Yes, but if you can't see what you're doing it'll be hard to do it

I see what you mean lol. In old Nokia days we used to change language to Chinese on the friend phones. After having it done to me a few time I could change it back with my eyes closed. LOL

Vodafone UK OTA 1.28.161.9 Relased today

According to the vodafone UK forums...

lol - was just about to post the same thing - damn you're fast!
Interesting to read that 3 just aint bothering - skipping this OTA and already working on the next release!
---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------
So whats the proceedure from say, Leedroid 4?
Nandroid backup current
Extract boot.img from original rom
Full wipe and nandroid back to stock voda rom
Fastboot flash boot.img
Flash original recovery (where is this?)
Relock bootloader using htc token
boot into stock voda rom, download and apply OTA
unlock bootloader
flash cwm
nandroid restore leedroid 4
sound about right?

All looks good, though I don't know why you'd bother It's been stated many times that 1.28 base roms are NOT reliant on the new hboot. Can flash straight over the top of the previous version.
It also has some risk if you're looking at S-OFF. Obviously focus at the moment is on hboot in 1.26, if you update now you may not be able to S-OFF right away (if/when it happens).

Any idea how to then save this OTA when it gets pushed? not just a nandroid backup

Haha true...at least there's an official acknowledgement of it's existence though! All I get from people I've spoken to at O2 is "there's no news of an update for the HTC One X yet. If you have a problem with your phone go in store and they may be able to fix it. When the update is released you'll be able to download it"

No update yet, hope its not a false alarm

Apparently the new hboot fixes fastboot and stops all the problems associated with low battery level and not being able to boot to rom/recovery.
This wasn't a problem for me, until 2pm today when all hell broke loose. Now it's worth the hassle - if I hadnt been at home I would;ve been phoneless.....AGGGH!

Can anyone tell me if the HBOOT and radio get updated in this update, or is it just the system files that get an uplift?
I'm running a custom ROM, so I can't run the O2 1.26 ruu!
Anyone know if there's a 1.28 O2 ruu knocking around?

Did you don't keep a back up of stock just in case? That's what I'm doing,
flash stock boot.IMG, flashing stock recovery, then fastboot up cwm restoring stock then upgrading.
Then right back into cwm to back it up.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

That's what I would have done if I hadn't been stupid enough to not make a backup of stock straight after doing the 1.28 OTA.
No stock backup = I'm screwed until a 1.28 ruu comes out (or S-OFF!)

Yeah :/ I keep a back up on my pc aswell. You could ask some one to up date do a factory reset and make a back up of that to flash.

Ah at last. Just updated
Although my new handset never suffered from screen flickering as it goes so I perhaps won't see much difference?
But good to see O2 getting on the ball and jumping to .11 straight away.

My HOX is v.1.15? Can't update it to 1.29.

I am enjoying my new One X, but I have some minor issues with it. The phone I got is a prize from HTC after I won a competition they conducted. I picked up my phone myself from their office and found out that the phone I got is a demo phone, the one that comes in red bubble wrap. When I checked the software number on my phone, it showed a version number of 1.15.401.1 while the latest here in the Philippines is 1.29. Anyway, the thing is, I can't update the phone. Whenever I try to update it, it says that there are no available updates for my phone. I've already tried calling HTC and contacting their email support but I am not getting any straight answers, all they're saying is to regularly check for updates. Is there any other way to update it? Like, is there a "1.29 firmware version file" here in xda that I can download and install? Any reply regarding my issue would be of great help! Thank you!

Search for 1.29.401.11 RUU and try that, there is a thread here with all ENDEAVOR RUUs on filefactory.

Similar sort of thing, I have a Telecom NZ One X and it's on 1.26. Telecom NZ are taking far too long to update.
Can I flash a stock unbranded ROM and have it update as per that ROM?
I don't want to have to reflash for each update, I want it to update OTA when new updates for that ROM are released.
Possible? I really hope so, 1.26 is so crap on battery that I can't use it as much as my Desire :crying:

I'd say you need to find an Endeavour RUU, Ask Mike1986, I think I saw somewhere that he has one.
Try unlocking the Boot Loader and then flashing the latest 2.05.401.2 ARHD Rom onto the phone, then it's rooted and it's basically all stock.
